21 Best Korean Restaurants near Issaquah

“Where to start. Service great, atmosphere great, but the food is the star! Not just the best Korean I've had but one of the best meals. My son and I were super hungry so we shared the Yangnyeom fried chicken and the O-sam bulgagi special. Which also came with like 6 sides and rice. Probably could have fed 4. Everything was fantastic. But that chicken....I seriously will dream about it. Too bad we are only visiting but we plan to go again tomorrow before we go home.“

“We had both the sushi lunch special and the lunch special. The sushi was awesome, really generous cuts of fish that had great flavor.

The rolls were really well presented but were not as tasty as the sushi. There wasn't a choice on the rolls and they just weren't to our taste I think.

The agedashi tofu appetizer was really well done and the edamame was perfect. We also really enjoyed the complimentary miso soup.

Can't wait to come back next time we're in town.“

“Really fun place at the gas station! Very nice people!“

“Ahram is hands-down one of the best Korean restaurants I’ve visited in Washington! The authenticity shines through in every dish. The Yangnyeom Gaejang(spicy crab) was phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We also tried the Bossam and meat pancake, and every piece of meat was incredibly tender and juicy. The side dishes were fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented, adding the perfect finishing touch to the meal. Truly a top-notch experience for anyone craving authentic Korean flavors.“

“Good tofu soup, especially the seafood one.

Everything else is so so, but the soup is amazing! I don’t recommend the beef or the pancakes

The service was amazing, they always come to pour water and ask you if you want more side dishes“

“My favorite Korean restaurant in the Seattle area! Their broth is always incredibly rich and flavorful. I’ve tried most of the menu, and it has never disappointed. The warm Korean ladies there are so welcoming and kind. They remind me of my mom back in Korea 🥺 If you’re looking for authentic Korean cuisine, I highly recommend this place.

너무 맛있게 잘 먹었습니다ㅎㅎ 레드몬드에서 제일 맛있어요♥︎“

“Edit: I value the staff reached out via the online order system and this review and offered to make it right, Im sure they learned from the super bowl sunday and will continue to serve the delicious food with great service

Food is good but the service was awful, order way ahead of time for a pickup, got there and after waiting 40 minutes they had not even a clue of when my food was going to be ready. Not only wasted my time but ruined my event.“

“Really enjoyed this place. The food was fresh, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented — especially when they finished the dish right at the table with the flame, such a cool touch. Portions were generous, everything was hot and delicious. The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming. Definitely coming back again. 🔥🍽️“

“This place feels like home away from home. We have brought most of our loved ones here to share such an amazing gem. My fiance and I always appreciate just how kind and thoughtful the atmosphere is and the food is always perfect! See you next Friday!

05/24/26: Updating this since Seoul Hot Pot is closing and I am so broken hearted.

This place really gave my fiance and I the thing we needed most during one of the hardest times. My fiance used to eat here with his Korean grandparents some time ago. After their passing this placed got unintentionally forgotten. One night after recently moving nearby, my fiance and I stumbled upon this place while in need of some yummy Korean food. As soon as we stepped in my fiance started to feel nostalgic. He couldn't shake the feeling that he had been here before. After a quick text to his mom, she confirmed that this was infact the place him and his grandparents would go to eat.

This place will forever live in our hearts.

Thank you so much for bringing back the sweet memories for my fiance and for allowing me to feel as though I was able to enjoy a meal with them in spirit. You both mean so much and I couldn't thank you enough.

Cheers to new adventures! ✨💌🥂“

“This is my absolute go-to spot for lunch or dinner whenever I’m craving solid Korean food. You really can’t go wrong with their Fried Chicken, Seafood Pancake, and Soondubu—it is the perfect combo! The food is consistently good and comes out fairly quickly. If you want a reliable meal that hits the spot every time, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!!“

“Very polite customer service! I ordered a veggie rice bowl with a fried egg, and it was ready within 8 minutes. Food was enjoyable, my only complaint is the sauce I got was tiny, and you have to pay for a refill on a fountain drink. but, my portions were big for the price, considering it's bellevue, and I got full so quickly from my portion!“

“Had takeaway from here, I ordered the katsu nembi deopbab.

I love the organizer. Food was SO HOT even after I got home. Honestly, everything was excellent. Their soup is odengtang, not miso — really refreshing, and it complemented the dish so well.“

“I AM BEYOND DEVASTATED. Redmond feels empty without the third place. I don’t know if I’ll ever recover. This place had the most scrumptious delicious food I had ever eaten. Third place you will always have a special spot in my heart (and stomach)… no Korean restaurant will ever live up to the quality of food you had 😢🤧💔“

“I recently visited Stone Korean restaurant and had a great experience. The prices were very reasonable, making it an excellent value for the quality of food. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and very tasty. The service was outstanding the staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome throughout our visit. The restaurant was also very clean and well-maintained, creating a comfortable dining atmosphere. Our food was served promptly and arrived right on time. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Korean food, excellent service, and affordable prices.“

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“Delicious! I could taste quality ingredients and good seasoning, amount was perfect to share with family. Thank you!“

“One of the best take out Teriyaki Chicken I have had. We will definitely be back for more.“

“Love this place and the flavors change weekly. This week was a new flavor pistachio and it was delicious with black seasme filling. I usually take someone new that has never been to it before and they enjoy it so much!

Two things I would like to see them improve on is seating and the place could use some sound proofing because it can get very echoy with just a few people in it. It's so hard to hear.“

“Really solid spot! Ordered the beef bulgogi bibimbap and it DID NOT disappoint at all!!! Great portion size, excellent flavor, and it came out quick. Will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation. Water was good btw🫡

Our server Scott is super friendly, shoutout to him!“

“I don’t usually write reviews, as you can probably tell from my non-review status, but this Jumbo Chicken Teriyaki Box has completely changed the game for me. As someone who travels frequently for work and eats on the go, I was not only surprised but genuinely in awe of the simple yet incredible meal that was delivered to my less-than-glamorous hotel room in Seatle.

When I say "simple," I don’t mean it in a negative way—rather, it was simply perfect. The chicken, the salad—everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. I was so impressed that I feel compelled to tell others: Order from here now, and often!

It’s been two weeks since I left Seattle, and I’ve thought about this meal at least 35 times since returning home. This place is a hidden gem, and I can’t wait to get back to the West Coast so I can dine here again. For what it’s worth, I ordered from them both nights of my stay in Seattle. Highly recommend!“
