30 Best Korean Restaurants near Burien

“A new up coming restaurant in burien just five minutes from the seatac airport and 15 minutes outside of seattle. Its my second time in here now and I got to say each time ive came in here I was met with a warm welcome as if I were greeted by a old friend, the restaurant is very clean with tables and chairs that can fit possibly 20-25 people dining in. The restaurant plays current radio hits which is nice when youre unwinding and waiting for your meal. I ordered the yangyeom chicken and the cheese & herb shake fries as a meal and comes with a drink. The shake fries were 10/10 the fries were crisp and soft to the bite and they did not skip on the portions I had a whole bag of fries I finished in one sitting. Now the chicken was absolutely delicious crisp, crunchy, and tender I could eat it without any sauces but the sauce did add a whole level of flavor truly delicious. Ill be definitely stopping by often for more.“

“The owners are truly kind, grateful people. The food is fresh- I had a Poke bowl with Salmon and avocado, and it was FULL of good flavor. My kids were crazy about the BBQ Chicken- awesome portions and fantastic sweet/smoky flavor! My wife tried the Yakisoba, and loved all the vegetables. Very solid value for the buck- this is a great place to check out. Glad we made the drive from Woodinville!“

“We ordered the Bulgogi, Kalbi and chicken wings, everything was delicious. Even the banchan was so yummy! Service was excellent! Just a perfect little jewel in Kent!“

“Best poke in Washington! We’ve tried a lot of poke spots, and Red Bowls is still the one we keep coming back to.

The fish is always fresh, the portions are generous, the ingredients taste high quality, and the bowls are packed with flavor. They don’t skimp on the good stuff either, so you actually feel like you’re getting your money’s worth.

The staff is always friendly (sweet Korean elderly couple), service is quick, and the quality has been consistently excellent every time we’ve gone.

If you love poke, Red Bowls is a must-try. Easy 5 stars and our favorite poke spot in Washington.“

“Really liked the food. Got chicken and a cabbage salad although the salad was just shredded cabbage I think without any dressing so that was kind of disappointing but loved the chicken and will be back with the chicken. The bowls are generous portions - enough for leftovers for a few days for me!“

“Great experience! The view and atmosphere is amazing. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Restaurant is very clean, except the restrooms, that was an opportunity.
We ordered two Luau plates, one with beef and one with pork. Beef was delicious, very well marinated. Pork was ok, very avg. Sides all tasted great. Also ordered malasadas, not as good as Hawaii's but very tasty.
Service was very transactional similar to a fast food restaurant.“

“Great ambience, casual with a trendy fine dining touch, music was playing and service was good. Meat quality was to my liking, broth was tasty, experience was great! I came for the lunch special. Came out feeling like I had a full course dinner meal! Would def recommend.“

“Nice small space with great Korean hybrid food. 5 stars here for the salad medley and fermented pickles.“

“Had the jjamjjamyun and husband had the jjajangmyun and sweet & sour pork combo. Food was not overly seasoned and just the right amount of spiciness in the soup. The pork is made with sweet rice flour, so it gives it more of a chewy texture which is a nice change. We went in between lunch and dinner time, so it was nice and quiet. The staff was so friendly and nice, while being very prompt. I'll definitely be back!“

“Delicious food! Great price, generous portion, love that you get banchan! Presentation is incredible & atmosphere is great. Everything comes out sizzling hot. I also love when places that have spicy food have AC 😂 My first time trying tofu soup & it did not disappoint. Bulgogi taste is delicious too.

Can't wait to come back & try more!!“

“Quaint little eclectic shop serving donuts and Korean food. The yeast donuts are really fluffy and the donuts and donut holes are priced well! The filled donuts are near bursting with filling! They do not skimp! My husband really enjoyed the kolache pig in a blanket and said the pastry part was fluffy like the donut rather than flaky like a croissant.

You know it's a good donut shop when you're only there for a few minutes and the other customers who came, ordered their usual, and then left during that time were both police officers 🤣 I kid you not, it legit happened, and they didn't even come in together-it was separate instances!

Anyway, it was a great donut shop. The donut holes came out fresh while we were there, and they were spectacular! Just as an aside, there's a picture on Google maps of japchae which had me really excited, but they do not serve japchae (I asked). I'm guessing someone uploaded a picture from the wrong place when leaving a review. Just mentioning it, so you don't get your hopes up like I did. 😅“

“I am so glad we have Rainier Teriyaki as our go-to takeout spot! I’m a vegetarian and this is the best tofu teriyaki I’ve had! It’s nicely fried and stays crispy and reheats really well in air fryer. Their sauce is delicious and my partner loves their chicken. Our order has always been correct and neatly packaged and they confirm when you pick it up! I really admire their consistency. Very friendly staff, once I called just before closing and they kindly took my order which was for a friend who had just been visiting a family member in the hospital. It was such a comfort meal for her and I was so grateful! Really great spot with qualify food!“

“In one word, Delicious! The photos do not do the food justice. The food is fresh, beautiful, quick and scrumptious! The portions are generous. The entire family enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend for bento, poke and the rest of the menu, as Donburi House is a new favourite.“

“I got the chicken bulgogi, a pretty common Korean dish. Honestly, it would be hard to differentiate it from teriyaki chicken you'd find anywhere across the city. The meat is tender and the sauce is a little sweet and smoky. Tastes like bottled sauce.“

“first time trying one and did the rib eye bowl with the yum yum sauce and tried the Kimchi cucumber. I can't stop thinking about it, it was so good, I want to more!!“

“Amazing place! Food is great and staff is absolutely Top notch great customer service!“

“This place is a favorite of mine, they are always so warm and welcoming, plus the food feels fresh and quality without breaking the bank. It’s family owned, and occasionally the owners will hand the food right to you, which feels very personal and beautiful. 10/10 recommend for anyone looking for a perfect mix of quality and affordability. Will be coming back here time and time again.“

“Loved the fried popcorn chicken at Gangnam Seattle! The chicken was super crispy and delicious. We tried it with the garlic sauce and yangnyum sauce—the garlic sauce had a nice sweetness to it, and the yangnyum was really flavorful too. Both sauces went so well with the crispy chicken. Definitely a great spot for Korean fried chicken in Chinatown!“

“Love the place at first , don’t go now. Small portions and prices increase Good bye“

“Great Burgers! Shakes, Onion rings, Teriyaki. Good people ! We been going there for a few decades.“

“I've passed this restaurant on the way to work every day for MONTHS, telling myself I'm going to stop by one day. That day was today and I could not be more pleased. Definitely recommend the chicken of course, the mandu (fried dumplings), and the spring rolls. For drinks definitely try the Honey Citron Tea; AH-mazing! I was so upset for not coming in sooner but I will definitely be back. Customer service was top tier!“

“Amazing homestyle Korean food with awesome value, I was super happy and the lady at the front was very very nice 🥰
Get the tofu stew and bulgogi combo it’s awesome! I’ve had the jajangmeon and that hit the spot 😎“

“We found this gem in a strip mall. Excellent food!!! We arrived for lunch and Grace was kind enough to explain the menu and show us sizes of the pho. We had the shrimp pho, Grace showed me where to get the accompanying garnishes for the soup, everything was so fresh! Food was brought to us and Grace bussed the table. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and would recommend.“

“These mochi donuts were so soft and tasty! I loved the flavors—I got a purple berry donut with fruity pebble sprinkles.“

“Love this place- great teriyaki, fruit, veggie tempura, california rolls, and other options. Friendly owners and great prices, especially for being in Columbia Tower. Hot tip- go between 2:10pm and when they close at 2:50pm for a 20% discount.“

“So good so good so good so good“

“Great locale. Very unassuming but it’s what makes this place special. It could be a little overwhelming seeing so many options. This review is specific to what I’ve ordered.

Their chicken teriyaki is solid. Portions were ok. Surprisingly got more chicken than rice, but overall well worth $15. Chicken had perfect amount of char and was well cooked (not too dry). I do think they should’ve added more teriyaki sauce to the food though. May have been bc my order was takeout. KEY DETAIL: the sauce on the tables boosts the flavor.

Miso soup was delicious. Very deep and rich flavor; tofu used was a little too soft for the soup (in my opinion), but the soup was well balanced.“

“I had never been to this location before. Staff was so friendly, food was so good! You got to check out the katsu sliders yum! Also dont underestimate the tofu tots and jalapeño sauce. Cant wait to go back and try more food. P.S. bomb happy hour deals“

“Nice place for lunch for the family today. All the meat items were pretty darn delicious. You cook your meal at your table and share with your group. Service was above average and attentive. Danny was especially helpful getting us set up with our cooking station and answering questions. Did not have drinks but they looked amusing to say the least. Huge goblet with lights in the ice and SoJu can dumped in. I would not recommend the shrimp because it is raw, head and tails intacked and uncleaned. The intestinal tract would have to be removed by you either before or after cooking and it's too much work for mediocre tasting shrimp. It's on the expensive side for going out but hey it was fun.“
