50 Best Korean Restaurants near Bothell

“Bothell’s Ta Joia isn’t your sleepy strip-mall filler—it’s a technicolor veggie parade disguised as dinner. I ordered bibimbop, spring rolls, and the feijoada bowl, which felt like a samba in a rice bowl. It’s the rare spot where “eating your vegetables” is less a chore and more a sly dare. Flavor bombs everywhere, and suddenly I’m craving greens I never cared about. That’s Bothell magic.“

“The staff were friendly and helpful. After we ordered our entrees they brought us a salad and a small appetizer.
My grandchild (16) had the Tteokbokki, I had the L.A. Kalbi. We both rated our entrees 5/5. Atmosphere is extremely cozy and welcoming. Will be back.“

“So delicious! I have tried the fried chicken, the spicy chicken sandwich, and the bulgogi bowl. All were made to order, flavorful, with great texture! Their chicken sandwich is particularly addictive, with a spicy sauce, light and crispy chicken, and tasty slaw. Writing this is making me hungry!“

“This place is honestly my favorite Korean restaurant! I’ve been here so many times and it never disappoints. The service is always super friendly, portions are big, and they bring out so many tasty side dishes. Everything feels fresh and full of flavor. I always leave happy and full. Definitely one of the best spots around for Korean food!“

“best meal while in Seattle area.“

“I have been going to Ohana Teriyaki for years. Always great yaki. Today I went in to grab some take-out and found out that the owners sold to a new owner. I met him, he was working the front counter. Apparently it had only been 6 days since the sale. He kept the ENTIRE kitchen staff. I brough home our beef yaki and chicken katsu combos and they were great. It was delicious, hot and he got the orders out fast. Will continue to go to Ohana as long as the quality stays top notch. Highly Recommended.“

“We love eating at Teriyaki, etc! after church on Sunday! ~Renew Church“

“Wow Teriyaki is excellent. Great food and good portions. Ester gives great service she’s very friendly and personable. We have enjoyed dining at her restaurant for years . I’m so glad she is here in Lynnwood. Thank you for being so awesome!. “Mama.”“

“I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was absolutely incredible!! Chicken was just amazing and the pickled radish is an awesome accent! will def be back soon!“

“this place is so 🤌🤌🔥🔥🔥 should have a line out the door. hugeeee portions and wow. so good! bravo🫵🫵“

“Picked up dumplings and a bowl from the truck today in Redmond. Delicious!! I can’t wait to try more.“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“So happy a dedicated jokbal/bossam restaurant opened. The jokbal I ordered was delicious, with the proper fragrance and seasoningThe single serving was huge, more than enough for two people. Three people would satisfied with extra lettuce, garlic, shrimp sauce, and samjang. They didn’t try to deceive with a lot of bones. Service is fast, packaging was somewhat eco friendly with paper instead of plastic.“

“So much food!
My goodness. This was mine and my friends' first time having Korean barbecue. This place had great really fun atmosphere. The experience is very interactive, especially if you end up doing the barbecue and cooking your own food.Or, if you have an incredibly friendly waiter with five star customer service skills, he might hang out at your table and do it for you!!! Josh, you took it to the next level.

My friend and I did the beef barbecue. It is 95 for two people, but my friend and I were talking, when you consider the price of a really good steak, this was a smoking deal! There is enough meat to feed four people, and we both ended up taking full portions home for later. The quality of the beef is top-notch. Especially the beautifully marbled oxtail.

The course comes with plenty of sides. Including side salads, in-house crafted salt, in-house crafted pickled radish, in-house crafted sashimi sauce, garlic, fresh jalapeños, and in house crafted kimchi... and multiple other little side dishes I can't even remember right now.
This is definitely a restaurant that is as much an experience as it is a meal.“

“I go to Jang An at least once a month. It's my ultimate comfort meal. My favorite is clear noodles with beef tongue, but my husband likes the wheat noodles with mixed meat. You can't go wrong with either choice. It's very filling with the complementary rice and kimchi. Another of my favorite is the dumplings: you can dip in the sauce but it's extra good in the broth. Love that the staff gives you free hot tea. Love the staff here as well: they're hardworking and attentive. Please stay in business forever.“

“Went to visit the Burke Museum and then get food. We wanted Asian, and this was the first out of six places we checked that had a better than 'okay' on the health rating! Food was very good, and it came out quickly. The banchan is always nice to see, some Korean places don't. All in all, worth the stop, would be likely to go again if we're in the area.“

“I'm obsessed. The owner is so cute and she makes sure she's open if I'm coming. She tends to rotate the selection so there's always fun new things to try. I'm a big vegetable eater so I can recommend so many things but my favorites are the following:

The eggplant 🤤
Bok choy kimchi
Spring onion
Pumpkin with cashews
Braised beans
Pickled yellow radish
The crosshatched mushrooms on the counter (I apologize I don't know what they're called but I adore them)“

“Amazing Staff! So Friendly and the food! Off the Charts!!“

“Eat in (small)or dine out. Excellent food. High quality and we'll prepared. Lots of vegetarian or meat options. Not expensive. Try this place.“

“The food is great. I called on my lunch to order . Multiple times got hung up on. Pick up then hang up. Then I go in to order and the kid taking orders did the same thing when people called. Not even very busy and he’s hanging up on customers calling to place an order. not cool. Might wanna let him know. But the place is great never had food I didn’t like“

“Its a to go late night kitchen. I ordered chicken katsu and sausage w rice. There was mistake with doordash but the owner was kind enough to make katsu curry and fries. I tried fixing it through doordash but doordash stuck. If you place an online order just you know their restaurant won't show up but another location but the other location is under different name. But its doordash fault“

“Honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but the food and staff here rocks. I’ll definitely be adding this spot to the rotation!“

“I'd seen this place just off the road for awhile and had always meant to go, finally went and it was a pleasant surprise! I thought it was just fancy hot dogs (by the name) but I was stoked to see it was corn dogs! The fries on outside is genius! Also I would've LOVED this place if I was a kid!“

“Love this place! Great food and great staffs. Personally it is the best teriyaki place near Seattle area! I couldn't take my food pictures because I finished it too fast... Definitely coming back when I am craving for teriyaki and katsu!“

“This place is a godsend for late-night munchies. Amazing food, friendly service, and open extremely late - what more could you ask for? The bulgogi was a large portion and was tender and umami without being too sweet. The soybean soup could have used a bit more flavor, but I appreciated it being packed with tofu, zucchini, and other extras. Banchan was good, and I liked the option of having purple rice! Would save this spot for a late-night feast.

The location is a bit tucked away. Interior is very cozy but clean“

“Great food and amazing service! The staff were very attentive and friendly. We came here on a Friday night just past 5pm - they don’t take reservations on Friday so it was good that we went early. By the time we left there were a few groups waiting. We got the bulgogi, Japchae, Golbi Tang soup, and Hot stone bibimbap. Everything tasted so good and my personal favorite was the soup - the meat was so tender and soup so flavorful. Would definitely love to come back next time I’m in Seattle!“

“Super friendly staff, cosy atmosphere and amazing food. 11/10, I would bring all my friends here :))“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

“First time here and will surely come back, staff are very friendly, food is great and the place is very clean.“

“great food, very authentic“

“Greate K-Chinese cuisine! Hold-in-the-wall place with authentic flavors, freshly cooked on the spot. I happily return to this spot multiple times. Service is great, they're kind and fast in serving the food. You need to enter the G Mart (grocery store), turn left before you pass the cashier and walk way inside to reach the restaurant.“

“This is my favorite restaurant! Always amazing food and service!“

“The Galbi Jim at this Korean restaurant is absolutely outstanding! The beef is incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with rich, savory flavors that melt in your mouth. The sauce is perfectly balanced — sweet, salty, and deeply aromatic, coating every bite beautifully. You can really taste the care and time that went into the slow braising. Served with fresh sides and rice, it’s pure comfort food perfection. Highly recommended!“

“Great atmosphere and service! Atmosphere is good given it's clean and new. Food was tasty and the small dishes (banchan) was refillable. Hit all the right notes. This was the BBQ short rib (kalbi) and Nakdol. Enough good food for two. Service felt prompt with the brown rice tea and refill of the banchan. Not pictured is the small fried fish it came with. Good value in this area and would recommend! Our service was a tall white lady, very polite! Will return on cold dark Seattle winters.“

“Amazing Service & Great Vibes!

My friends and I decided to check out Kochi Pocha on a whim, and I’m so glad we did! The service was absolutely excellent—two ladies took care of us, and they were beyond attentive. They joked around with us, making us feel completely at home. It’s rare to find such warm and engaging service these days!

The atmosphere was lively, the food was delicious, and to top it all off, we got free ice cream at the end—such a perfect touch! I’m definitely coming back. If you’re looking for a fun and welcoming dining experience, this is the place to go!“

“A very solid place for good traditional Korean soups. I had the spicy beef soup and was very happy. The place is not trendy and looked to attract a very local crowd. Prices were inline with other Korean restaurants. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other soup selections.“

“TL;DR: Fresh and satisfying.

Parking: hard to find free spots but there are plenty of paid spots in the garage or street. Weekends aren't free in paid spots.

Atmosphere: spacious, seems like most orders are ToGo/PickUp.

Service: wait to be seated, scan the QR code at the table, order taken at the table when you are ready, you will be watered, food brought to you, check brought to you, boxes for leftovers available upon request.

Menu: QR code located on the metal trash bins on the table. Photos available for the main items, mainly names and brief descriptions.

Complimentary cabbage salad: it was very crunchy and fresh, the dressing was creamy, sweet and every so slightly tangy.

Yakisoba: great noodle to topping ratio. Pretty much at least one topping in every noodle bite. The veggies had a very nice blanched texture and were added a light crunch to each bite. The sauce was as tad on the sweet side for me though.

Fries: lightly seasoned and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I found I could eat these plain without the need for a dip.

Original Fried Chicken: Very flaky and lightly crunchy. The chicken inside was brined nicely and was very tender and juicy.“

“Highly recommend for lunch time! We had the all you can eat lunch, just $25 per person. It is so fresh! A huge variety of sides and the kitchen and seawead where so delicious. The meat was especially fresh and delicious, there was a huge variety. We had great service and they even accommodated our little. We will definitely be coming back!“

““I recently visited a Korean restaurant in Edmonds and was absolutely delighted! The atmosphere was very cozy, and the service was top-notch. I especially loved the fresh dumplings – they were incredibly delicious! I will definitely be coming back again!”“

“Good little place to drop in if you're craving Korean. Side dishes were lovely and refilled often and the food we ordered was authentic and tasty. Luckily it wasnt busy when we went and they seated our large-ish party of 7 immediately. Nice little hidden gem.“

“Seriously, I've never had a better server. She memorized our 5 orders with drinks and appetizers perfectly. She checked-in just the right amount and brought us stuff before we even knew we needed it. Amazing customer service is still alive and well here. The food was amazing too. The chicken is wonderful the sides were unique and tasty as were the drinks. I brought family from out of town and they were beyond impressed. 5 stars deserves 10 stars.“

“What a gem! As you enter this place, the decor is inviting and modern. The owners are very friendly. The fusion Korean food doesn't compromise the genuine taste of Korean food and this coming from a very picky person when it comes to korean food. The portion is huge. The bulgogi burrito is large enough for 2 people to share. We didn't order the burgers but I heard that the owners specialize in burgers. Next time I'm definitely going to try the burgers!“

“AMAZING! This is some of the best Korean food I have had and maybe some of the best I’ve ever had. I got the Japchae-bap and literally texted all my friends with pictures. It’s so delicious. Don’t pay attention to the negative comments, they are just wrong.“

“This is a hidden gem! I randomly walked in and after I watched Jane work in the kitchen I was extremely disappointed that I had already eaten. The food looked and smelled phenomenal. I had envy for sure watching others enjoy their food. Jane was so nice and welcoming. I had a great time chatting with her and her staff, including Chase. I can’t wait to visit Seattle again and try her food! It’s on the top of my list! Thank you Jane and team.“

“My grown kids took me here to try Asian food and I fell in love with the taste! It was very healthy (I know some sweet ones with sugar is not but it wasn't too sweet but delicious). I tried what my kids picked. If I come back to visit my kids, I would definitely choose this place for lunch or dinner!

Vegetarian options: There are some foods that aren't too spicy and I asked to make sure which foods were okay for my stomach to handle“

“amazing food, fantastic service! taste explosion of goodness! a MUST visit place!“

“The food is so good. Fresh and delicious. The service goes above and beyond. Parking can be tricky if you come in from the front but if you go around behind the building there is ample parking.
I highly recommend the 3 fish and the kimchi pork with tofu!“

“I visited Stone Korean Restaurant today with friends, and I have to say the portions were quite large. I really enjoyed the veggie pancake, it reminded me of a Turkish dish called ‘mücver’. The tteokbokki was okay; I’ve had better ones before. I tried the Kalbi Bibimbap Combo, which was good, but I actually liked my friend’s Spicy Pork Bulgogi even more, it was delicious! They also brought us several side dishes, and those were pretty tasty too. Overall, we left the place happy and satisfied.“

“The food has always been amazing, I've been here a few times. My husband and I went there for our anniversary and they went above and beyond to make it a special evening. Jino, Rani, and Jinwoo were all so sweet and helpful, it was such a wonderful evening.“

“The quality of the meat is superb and flavorful. In addition, the conduction heating bbq is innovative and convenient. Customer service is attentive and very responsive. Son of the Butcher is popular for all the right reasons! Can’t wait to come back and try other items on the menu 👍“
