20 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.“

“This was the first time we visited and it was delicious 😋. The atmosphere was great, the staff was super friendly and the food was perfection. There is a lot of variety to choose from. We had a great experience and will be back to try even more sushi rolls.“

“Draw Simulated Selfhost“

“If you're looking for a solid AYCE KBBQ spot, this is it. For an all-you-can-eat place, the meat quality exceeded my expectations. Service was incredibly fast—as soon as we turned in our order sheet, the next round of meat arrived. The servers were super friendly and kept the drinks and side dishes coming. It does get busy, but the wait is 100% worth it. Highly recommend!“

“A true hidden gem, almost makes me want to gatekeep it.

You can tell the food is made fresh every day. I loved the lunch box, especially all the delicious side dishes that came with it. The kimbap is also unique because it’s made based on whatever fresh ingredients they have that day, which makes every visit a little different.

If you’re looking for fresh, homemade-style Korean food, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

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

“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“

“Do yourself a favor and try Chicko Chicken in Kirkland! The chicken is unbelievably crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The sauces are amazing, the portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and made to order.
It's become one of my favorite spots, and I find myself craving it all the time. If you're a fan of Korean fried chicken, this place is an absolute must-try! 🍗🔥“

“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♥︎“

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“Tonight was my family’s first time at the restaurant. This was the best Korean restaurant experience I’ve had, and that includes some LA Korean bbq. My family had the kalbijjim with cheese on top (melted with a blowtorch table side). We also had the japchae, and the bulgogi.

Colin was an excellent host. Got us in pretty quickly on a very busy Father’s Day. This definitely made my day special. I will totally come back here again.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

“The food was delicious. It was not a big hit with the kids, but the adults enjoyed the Korean dishes. We had the bulgogi, kalbi, and dduhk-bohk-ghi. The kalbi was a good first-time dish, and I liked the spice in the dduhk-bohk-ghi. If you are in the area, I would recommend trying it.“

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

“Delicious ice cream and best red bean paste! We can’t wait to go back!“

“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!“

“This is a wonderful restaurant with excellent food and genuinely kind staff. Every visit has been a great experience, and I especially love the salad. It is always fresh, flavorful, and something I look forward to ordering.

My only small wish is that they were open a little later, maybe until 10 or 11 p.m. instead of 9 p.m., because I would love more opportunities to stop by. That is honestly the best kind of “complaint” to have. The place is so good that I just wish I could enjoy it for longer!“
