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!“

“delicious! the chicken was a bit tough, but i enjoyed the flavor and the overall selection of pickled radish and different flavors! working at a korean restaurant myself, this helped me understand korean street food cuisine better 💗💗💗“

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

“I went to dinner with my family here. It’s absolutely amazing experience. We got the beef feast large size. The meat quality is great. The sides are fresh. Their servers are very nice and friendly. Our family are all very satisfied and will for sure come back again!!“

“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!!“

“Very authentic jjamppong loaded with mussels, squid and shrimp, with bouncy noodles in rich broth. Their bowls are HUGE! Amazing value, especially if you go during lunchtime for their lunch specials. $9.99 for jjajangmyeon and $11.99 for jjamppong, Tuesday through Friday, 11 AM to 2 PM. What a hidden gem!“

“Seoul Tofu in Kent is such a comforting and reliable spot for Korean food. The tofu is rich, flavorful, and comes out perfectly hot every time. You can really taste the depth of the broth, and the ingredients always feel fresh and well-prepared.
The banchan are generous and delicious, and the portion sizes are very satisfying. Service is friendly and efficient, even when they’re busy, and the restaurant has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Especially the young man in the front, and as well as the other server.
If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food—especially soon tofu—this place is a must-visit. One of the best Korean spots in the area!“

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

“Bah had a fantastic demeanor when we walked in during lunch rush, I am so glad they were working the first time I ate here. The meat lover bento and extra Poke (had to try a little of every fish) were a fantastic lunch treat! Great prices for the amount of meat you get. I think I have found my new lunch spot“

“Awesome views, decent food, not particularly friendly service. I feel like the food was a bit overhyped — it was tasty, but nothing that special. The spicy pork also tasted pretty bland. The sexy tofu was solid, though. We also waited 15-20 mins in line to order“

“I had the ttuk bulgogi soup, and I can not stress enough just how absolutely delicious this soup was. Also, the lady that runs the restaurant was just a delight. Highly recommend, it's a intimate atmosphere, and very friendly. Highly Highly recommend.“

“Way exceeded expectations. I used to own a Korean restaurant, pretty picky. AYCE is the move. Kimchi is not great but doesn’t matter. Everything else is 👏👏👏. Be patient with servers. Every restaurant is understaffed and these kids are hustling their butts off. Tip big.“

“I love to order my lunch here ahead of time and then pick it up. Their sushi is so good and today I decided to try the chicken breast bento box with Korean potato salad. I have a new favorite food! That potato salad is sweet, but it pairs sooo well with their teriyaki sauce!! I will be ordering this again very soon! Thank you Joy Bento! You guys are AMAZING!!!“

“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.“

“I went in for the first time today for lunch after a pretty far walk from work. They are super nice, friendly and chatted with me a bit and explained their different menu options. They suggested the samurai which I got and it is very good to say the least. It’s super vibrant looking and very flavorful. I definitely highly recommend and will be coming back again“

“Underrated Teriyaki and Korean food restaurant with easy take out. Best teriyaki on Rainier and perhaps in town. The only fault that it is closed on Sundays. Quite delicious food options. This is the place you want to go for a delicious meal.“

“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. 😅“

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

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

“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!“

“This place is truly a hole in the wall, but don’t let that fool you—the food was absolutely delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. We’re so glad we decided to give it a try because it ended up being a great find. You honestly can’t beat the prices for the quality and portion sizes. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re looking for great food without the hype.“

“My favorite pho spot so far. I love that there are vegetables in the soup base in addition to the veggies you can add on your own. Staff is friendly. I would try the steak pho either Korean noodles or glass noodles, both are good. I love extra bean sprouts, jalapeños,and spicy chilli sauce! Expect to pay $15-20 per person“

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

“So good so good so good so good“

“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.“

“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“

“Was hungry and captured a photo after we’d already dug in - but the bento came with a lot of food. Spicy chicken bento box is huge and great for 2 people. The sauces are delicious and the tempura is perfectly crispy. The chicken teriyaki hits the spot.

A must stop spot post-Costco run!“

“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.“
