A distinctive Korean corn-dog stand with excellent reported food and warm service, best for a quick dockside snack if you verify opening hours and accept occasional waits.
Memories of Seoul earns its standing with consistently praised food from its Korean corn dogs and warm, personal service at the stand. The Royal Albert Dock setting adds real appeal, but uneven speed and occasional variation in filling keep it from a stronger showing.
Memories of Seoul is a compact Korean street-food stop on Royal Albert Dock, where the water views do some of the seating and atmosphere work. Reviews repeatedly describe a warm, personal welcome and fresh, piping-hot food; one visitor essentially treated the dockside setting as part of the meal. It is casual, accessible, and designed for eating on the move rather than lingering over a formal dinner. The specialty is the Korean corn dog, with crisp batter, stretchy mozzarella, sausage, sugar, sauces, and playful coatings such as fries, ramen, and Cheetos. The menu is more inventive than traditional, and freshness is a major strength, although it also means a wait can appear during busy periods. A small number of diners disliked the sweetness, found the filling uneven, or reported disappointing preparation, so ordering without sugar is worth considering if you prefer savory flavors. Families are well served by the familiar building blocks: sausage, mozzarella, fries, Cheetos-style coatings, vegan hotdogs, and mochi ice cream. Reviews specifically say children loved the food, and the counter format suits a quick outing. It is still a snack-led venue with limited shelter and no documented children’s menu, so it works best as a fun dockside stop rather than a full family meal.

Plan for a casual waterside stop, but check the opening hours and allow extra time if the stand is busy.
Its dockside setting, friendly service, and quick counter format make it feel more like a sightseeing snack stop than a restaurant dinner.
