7 Best Korean Restaurants near Lacey

“K-Kitchen is such a great find in Lacey!
The food is full of flavor, the portions are generous, and you can really tell that quality ingredients and good cooking are a priority here.
I especially enjoyed the Korean fried chicken, spicy pork, and the variety of side dishes that come with the meals. Everything has that homemade, comforting feel that makes you want to come back and try something else from the menu.

What really stood out to me was the service, the entire staff is genuinely friendly, welcoming, and helpful, and there is a very nice family atmosphere throughout the restaurant.
You never feel like just another customer.

Great food, generous portions, fair prices, and wonderful people. K-Kitchen is definitely a place I would recommend to anyone looking for authentic Korean flavors and a warm, welcoming experience in Lacey. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Good good ,very tasty. Staff was helpful. Will definitely visit again . You might want to at least add one handicap table for those of us who can’t sit on the short stools.“

“I didn't even like teriyaki before coming here. I'm not joking. Never liked teriyaki, decided I should try it again, tried this and my eyes were opened. Highly addictive. Good price for teriyaki though so I can feed my addiction. Enough for two meals also, if I show self control. I do not show self control very often. Lady is very friendly, crab rangoon is good also. Comfortable dining room. I like watching the news here. I would go every day if I could afford it.“

“First time eating at Hotstone during a lunch outing. I spent a couple years living in S. Korea, so know the food pretty well. I tried the Bulgogi Bi Bim Bap bowl and my family tried also spicy pork Bi Bim Bap bowl. All three were served in the Dolset (hot stone) bowl. I prefer the traditional stainless bowl during the warmer weather months. Hotstone did not have that option though. Typically, the Bi Bim Bap bowls are served with a mixture of vegetable along with the meat and rice (Bap). As you can see in my photos, there is only meat and rice. My mistake for not ordering the regular version. The Bulgogi flavoring was very good and rice was nice and soft. Side Kimchi, cucumber Kimchi and radish were good, but I have had better. Overall, the food was tasty but missing vegetables that would have made it much better. Our server was very friendly. We parked near the lake and walked to the restaurant.“

“I’m not sure if she was the owner or a staff member, but the woman who took our order had such bright, positive energy and was very friendly. I really appreciated how attentively she took care of us throughout our visit. We ordered the spicy stir-fried squid(오징어볶음) at level 3(spice levels range from 0 to 5) and galbitang(갈비탕). Some people might find it unusual that the galbitang comes with egg, but this style does exist in Korea. I especially remember having it quite often a long time ago. Overall, the side dishes and everything we had were not too salty and suited my taste perfectly. Our first visit was perfect. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Food was amazing! 5 stars even from my 3 year old who loved the chicken Ramen and of course the K-pop Demon hunters music. She was having a grand ol time dancing and singing in between bites. But the service was phenomenal. We will definitely be coming back!“

“I can’t wait to go back! The service was impeccable and very attentive. Everyone was so gracious and kind. We were made to feel very welcome and the servers went out of their way to show us how to cook our bbq and gave us extra sauces for they recommended with certain meats. Such a great valued meal—I recommend this spot to everyone.“
