31 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!!“

“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!“

“This is hands down the best Korean-Chinese restaurant I’ve tried in Washington. Everything was delicious, and the flavors were spot on. Highly recommended.

They’re also currently offering a Jajangmyeon buy-one-get-one-free“

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

“It's really fun to have a growing number of Hawaiian plate lunch options popping up locally & Marination Ma Kai in W. Seattle is one of the best, the view of the downtown Seattle skyline notwithstanding. I had the Kim Chee fried rice with Kalbi beef and a spam musabi. The food was perfectly seasoned & prepared with just the right amount of heat. You order at the counter & they alert you when it is ready, which is only a matter of minutes. On a warm weather day there is outside seating where you can eat & take in the view. Will be back soon!“

“Trying to eat lunch outside this Wells Fargo building is Seattle which houses several businesses but several employees smoking next to the facility that makes for a poor eating experience.

Also, could use more outside seating (some with umbrellas).“

“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.“

“So i want to eat korean food after an afternoon of walking around and randomly i decided to go to this resto, i think i am really hungry but i ordered bibimbap, chicken wings, seafood pancake, and kimchi jjigae. With beer of course. The ahjumma must be surprised that i ordered a lot 🤣. The owner is korean so this is a legit place. Then when i can't finish them all i ordered to go box and maybe the server man noticed i didn't get up after paying so he gave me a corn tea. To help with digestion,, but hey it worked. Thank you to the staff, i wish i can visit them again.. when i come back,,,“

“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!!!“

“Basic deli. But really good food. I had the pork bowl. Cucumber topping was really good. Everything was as expected. Good lunch bowl for a good price. The surprising find was the rice cakes. A little spicy, a little sweet. Highly recommend those, and I'll definitely go back if nothing more than for those. Nothing fancy but clean. No problem for a lunch stop, but don't expect an atmosphere. I always think it's odd to have to rate a place like this for the atmosphere.“

“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.“

“This place deserves all the hype! The jalapeno kolache is exactly how they are in Texas, I’m impressed and will definitely be back!

The cashier was very friendly and recommended items to us. Everything looked good!

I noticed that the prices are extremely fair as well.“

“hubby and I were in from Indy and we had bacon burger and Hawaiian burger. pretty tasty.“

“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!“

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

“This was the perfect stop after picking up my folks from the airport. It was a chilly day and pho sounded good. Their broth was clean and good, not too salty or oily. Noodles were cooked well, not overdone and mushy. They have a fresh veggie bar that you could pick your veggies to go into your pho. This was a huge plus for me. The place was clean, well lit, and service was great, with staff being kind and friendly.“

“So good so good so good so good“

“All very delectable DIY AYCE (all you can eat) Korean barbecue plus copious refillable sides. Personal faves are the spicy tofu soup and beef spare ribs (shown). Note however the restaurant has recently come under NEW management. The prices are the same but take note they NO longer accept Groupons, which is unfortunate if you had purchased some prior. Perhaps they will offer a grand reopening special if they know what's good for their customer base. Came today to retrieve a hat I had left on my last visit, but 'twas nowhere to be found, possibly lost in the reshuffle. Was told they be closed for a few days circa 1/20/2026 to get things refurbished. Will try them again once the dust settles, and so may you.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I got the 4 meat right before selection, which I recommend. Somebody, knows what they are doing..I would give this place an A+, but I'm giving it an A. I give it an A because, I did not order avBobo drink. Or, one of those drinks I kept staring at posted on the door. As I ordered take out..The service and atmosphere was good 👍...No complaint..very attentive, inviting, judgement free...I stepped into the door, after 3 other people and they treated me, like everybody else..so kind. Thank you.“
