Several places have a Seoul House with a higher Google page rank than the one in Oakland, including but not limited to Houston, Melbourne, Vancouver, and Fairfax. The Oakland one does have the dot-biz domain ("COMING SOON SUMMER 2006").
Some reviews and another review.
We went there last night with some friends who go there every December 24. The food was reasonably good; the atmosphere was depressing. (Nondescript place-of-dining decor; clock on the wall claimed that it was "Friday the 15th"; inexplicably they had a framed painting of JFK.)
I got the spicy BBQ pork; as expected, same recipe as served at the Korean place that anchors Emeryville Public Market but higher-quality meat. (It's been forever since I chose the Korean at the Public Market, partly because I go there at all so sporadically.) I suppose my biggest letdown was that I assumed this would be the kind of hot pot place where they had burners at our table and everyone's clothes smelled like meat. No such luck.
