50 Best Korean Restaurants near Kirkland

“Very fun place! Food was yummy and great service! Our waiter was a taller young man and he was very attentive and friendly, but everyone there was great! It’s all you can eat, with a limit of 2 hours which I find reasonable for all you can eat, plus everything comes out super fast so barely any wait! Lots of side options as well and they’re all great (also included in all you can eat). Also note that meat you don’t eat will cost you an extra $25 but that keeps ppl from over ordering. Sides are fine tho they can be leftover. Music was popping!! Fun time for sure“

“Picked up dumplings and a bowl from the truck today in Redmond. Delicious!! I can’t wait to try more.“

“Excellent place for Korean style fried chicken and other dishes. A small place that can get busy, so plan accordingly. We had the honey rice cakes, chicken strips and regular fried chicken, all were very good. Portions were also good. We got half sizes of the boneless and regular chicken and was more than enough for the 4 of us.“

“From ordering to receiving order does take 15-20 minutes. This chicken is hot, juicy, and delicious. Worth the wait.

Kid-friendliness: Chicko Meal is breaded, fried chicken pieces, fries and a drink. Works for a quick meal for my 11 yo.

Wheelchair accessibility: Close to ADA Parking. Restaurant is spacious. Tables are appropriately sized for assistive devices. Bathroom isn’t as accessible.“

“I cannot rate this place high enough. The food is always fresh, the portions are huge and the staff is INCREDIBLE! I had misplaced a receipt from months ago for business purposes and the team there was able to track down my receipt swiftly and HAPPILY.
Food 10/10, customer service 10/10, what more can you ask for???“

“Soy garlic chicken was pretty tasty, well cooked, and good flavor but surprised the “bowl” didn’t come with rice. FYI the side of rice is instant rice… nonetheless the value for the bowl size is great- so much chicken! Could’ve shared a regular size bowl with 2 people.

Two standing tables only- more a grab and go type place. Wish they had more proper seating and fresh rice options included.“

“I had an amazing experience at K-Street KBBQ! The quality of the meat here is absolutely top-notch—everything was fresh, well-marbled, and full of flavor. You can really taste the difference in every bite, from the juicy brisket to the perfectly seasoned pork belly.

The service was just as impressive. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. They made sure we were always taken care of without being overbearing, and they helped guide us through the menu, which was super helpful.

If you’re looking for a Korean BBQ spot that delivers on both food and hospitality, K-Street KBBQ is the place. Highly recommend!“

“I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was absolutely incredible!! Chicken was just amazing and the pickled radish is an awesome accent! will def be back soon!“

“Went to visit the Burke Museum and then get food. We wanted Asian, and this was the first out of six places we checked that had a better than 'okay' on the health rating! Food was very good, and it came out quickly. The banchan is always nice to see, some Korean places don't. All in all, worth the stop, would be likely to go again if we're in the area.“

“Love everything about this place from the light-filled, inviting space, to the friendly staff, to the incredibly delicious and nourishing food they serve. This restaurant is a gem.“

“We accidently found this restaurant and so glad we did. The food was exceptional and very inexpensive for the quality and service. The beef bulgogi pot stickers and tempura prawns were the best we have found in WA yet. Even though I am not a fan of spicy food - the Rose Combo (sorry I forgot the name) was the best flavor I have ever had. Thank you! We highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Excellent food. NOTE that it's a market, not dining, and is essentially a TO GO kitchen, much is refrigerated, offering specialty food. Korean side dishes.

I'm not an expert on this cuisine and so I received kind help from the staff.

I bought fresh vegetable side dishes: spicy pickled radish/kimchi dish, sweet slightly hot potato--awesome, a crunchy mung bean dish, and a spinach with garlic dish.

Perfect flavors. No funky dirty vegetables, all carefully prepared and gently seasoned. Will go again.

Served with hot rice --brown rice this time-- at home.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, all first floor“

“So happy a dedicated jokbal/bossam restaurant opened. The jokbal I ordered was delicious, with the proper fragrance and seasoningThe single serving was huge, more than enough for two people. Three people would satisfied with extra lettuce, garlic, shrimp sauce, and samjang. They didn’t try to deceive with a lot of bones. Service is fast, packaging was somewhat eco friendly with paper instead of plastic.“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“had lunch here yesterday and loved it! great atmosphere, kind server, delicious food (first time trying korean food) and i would definitely recommend it. my friends and i devoured our lunch and loved the music playing whilst we ate and chatted. next time i’m in seattle i’ll definitely stop by!“

“Eat in (small)or dine out. Excellent food. High quality and we'll prepared. Lots of vegetarian or meat options. Not expensive. Try this place.“

““I recently visited a Korean restaurant in Edmonds and was absolutely delighted! The atmosphere was very cozy, and the service was top-notch. I especially loved the fresh dumplings – they were incredibly delicious! I will definitely be coming back again!”“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

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

“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!!“

“The spot is definitely on the price your side for Korean barbecue but the meat quality was really good and we actually got the meat combo for two and it was perfect amount for three people. We got a bunch of different sides. The banchan was the only disappointing part really not a lot of flavor. Their potato salad was extremely dry.“

“Awesome food. Great people. Will be back often!!!!“

“Love the Chicken Karaage Don with citrus shoyu instead of spicy aioli here! Great egg-free/fish-free option :)

The folks working here are super friendly too! Thanks for all the wonderful lunches.

Also looking forward to S sized sweater if those ever come in stock.

Dietary restrictions: Egg-free & Fish-free“

“great food, very authentic“

“Great atmosphere and service! Atmosphere is good given it's clean and new. Food was tasty and the small dishes (banchan) was refillable. Hit all the right notes. This was the BBQ short rib (kalbi) and Nakdol. Enough good food for two. Service felt prompt with the brown rice tea and refill of the banchan. Not pictured is the small fried fish it came with. Good value in this area and would recommend! Our service was a tall white lady, very polite! Will return on cold dark Seattle winters.“

“This is my go-to spot for a working lunch. Absolutely love their food! The banchans are top notch, packed with flavor and always feel like a treat. I easily get two meals out of one bowl. Every dish hits the spot - customizable, consistently delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a flavorful, reliable Korean meal. The service is fast and the staff is courteous.“

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

“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’ve lived in Seattle, my entire life and the quality of the Teriyaki restaurants left here seems to be going downhill… but not Teryiaki Madness!!!

The service was extremely friendly. The food was fast, fresh and hot. Portions were large and everything was cooked to perfection! If you’re looking for that authentic fresh Seattle Teriyaki, you’ve come to the right place.“

“What a phenomenal place! Great service and accommodations for gluten-free highly recommend the yam noodles and the rice cake soup. They even brought us out some chamomile tea since we couldn’t drink their standard tea!

Thank you for such an awesome experience!“

“I went in semi naive to what was on the menu. Nothing stands out. You order at the counter. Understand that the dishes are larger to feed 2-3 people and their are no sides. Meaning if you like rice with your Asian cuisine it will be extra. Not realizing the size of the dishes I ordered 5 things and 2 sodas and a beer and 2 sides of rice which are small 1 person small and I spent with tip close to 140$+
It is in a strip mall so this is not meant to be fancy. Think small cafeteria style. Of the dishes the on that stood out for me was the chili shrimp. Otherwise pretty generic stuff. Beef had a diffrent texture to it that didn't suit me well. But if your into Asian cuisine make your own opinion. I more then likely won't go back. Quality of food for the money not a win for me.“

“The friendly staff made the meal very enjoyable. We had baby back ribs, wagyu beef, cuddly kale, beef tartare and a bottle of soju. The beef tartare was flavored with sesame oil and tasted very Korean influenced. The duck fried rice was also great! Overall lovely and delicious! The only downside is that you need to walk through the hotel lobby and upstairs to get to the restrooms.“

“If you want an unapologetic Korean restaurant with specialties not found anywhere else like sundae, and bosaam go here. Tables are authentic to Korea complete with napkins and chopsticks under the table. Only downside is the bulgugi is one of the worst. Dry and tough, although it seems only to exist for people too intimidated by the authetic menu.“

“This is my favorite restaurant! Always amazing food and service!“

“I visited Stone Korean Restaurant today with friends, and I have to say the portions were quite large. I really enjoyed the veggie pancake, it reminded me of a Turkish dish called ‘mücver’. The tteokbokki was okay; I’ve had better ones before. I tried the Kalbi Bibimbap Combo, which was good, but I actually liked my friend’s Spicy Pork Bulgogi even more, it was delicious! They also brought us several side dishes, and those were pretty tasty too. Overall, we left the place happy and satisfied.“

“This is my go-to lunch spot every time I hop over to the Seattle side of the Sound, which is basically weekly… The staff are super friendly and their self-serve all-you-can-eat bbq bar is always nice and fresh with a good selection of meats and sides that really hit the spot. They also have a full menu of traditional Korean dishes. I will keep returning until life takes me away from WA in 2026…
(Be sure to try their soft serve ice cream after your meal!)“

“best meal while in Seattle area.“

“amazing food, fantastic service! taste explosion of goodness! a MUST visit place!“

“A very solid place for good traditional Korean soups. I had the spicy beef soup and was very happy. The place is not trendy and looked to attract a very local crowd. Prices were inline with other Korean restaurants. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other soup selections.“

“I am still trying out all of the restaurants around my job and this place caught my eye. I love the small kitchen aesthetic, it reminds me of living in Asia. I ordered a nigiri roll and beef teriyaki. The roll was fine but the beef was a bit dry and not my favorite meal. I would revisit and try something else but it was just ok.“

“Seriously, I've never had a better server. She memorized our 5 orders with drinks and appetizers perfectly. She checked-in just the right amount and brought us stuff before we even knew we needed it. Amazing customer service is still alive and well here. The food was amazing too. The chicken is wonderful the sides were unique and tasty as were the drinks. I brought family from out of town and they were beyond impressed. 5 stars deserves 10 stars.“

“We stopped by and ordered the carnitas fries and crab rangoons—both were seriously delicious. The fries were loaded and flavorful without being overly greasy, and the crab rangoons had that perfect crispy bite with a rich, creamy filling. You can tell they use quality ingredients and really care about what they’re serving.

The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming—it felt like visiting a local spot where people actually care about their customers. Their energy really set the tone and made the experience even better.

We didn’t try the drinks this time, but they looked super creative and well put together—definitely coming back to try those. Plus, the location is perfect for enjoying a sunny Seattle day. Great food, great people, and a relaxed, fun vibe. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“A few months ago, I lost my bag after having a meal, and I didn’t even realize it until two days later. It was such a stressful situation because it contained many valuable items. While trying to figure out where I had left it, I found out from the owner that I had left it at Stone. I was incredibly grateful when I heard that it had been safely kept. He told me not to worry, that it was being looked after.

Thankfully, when I went to pick it up, everything was just as I had left it. I was so relieved and truly thankful. Since then, I’ve ordered delivery several times and also visited the restaurant again—and every time, the food has been consistently delicious.

Wishing you continued success in your business!“

“Holy moly guacamole! This might be my favorite thing I've eaten in all of downtown Seattle! The restaurant is tiny, more of a to go spot. Very busy during the lunch rush but they handled the crowd with ease. I got the bulgogi and teriyaki bowl which was immaculate. Everything is layered, meat on top, veggies in the middle and rice on the bottom...creating the perfect fusion of goodness. It was amazing. This will become a regular spot for me moving forward! A must visit!“

“Large portions of the most buttery steaks and pork we have ever had. Real Japanese A5 wagyu grilled for you on the table.“

“Good little place to drop in if you're craving Korean. Side dishes were lovely and refilled often and the food we ordered was authentic and tasty. Luckily it wasnt busy when we went and they seated our large-ish party of 7 immediately. Nice little hidden gem.“

“The quality of the meat is superb and flavorful. In addition, the conduction heating bbq is innovative and convenient. Customer service is attentive and very responsive. Son of the Butcher is popular for all the right reasons! Can’t wait to come back and try other items on the menu 👍“

“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.“
