40 Best Korean Restaurants near Newcastle

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“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!“

“Great social time & attentive staff“

“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.“

“Their lunch grill options are amazing and at affordable prices! We love the food which comes out nicely and also tasty, service was amazing. It was not noisy at alland had a great time here. Highly recommend if you are looking for a kbbq for gatherings“

“I didn’t expect to find Korean cuisine of this quality in Issaquah — what a pleasant surprise. Their Galbi-jjim (갈비찜) was especially delicious. It’s not a dish you can find at every Korean restaurant, so definitely give it a try!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place to get Korean food. They have a large selection of green food on their menu, such as Korean, fried chicken, tofu, soup, Bulgogi, and much more. My second time at stone but first time at this location. The soup like most places are lacking a bit of flavor. Good service.“

“My grown kids took me here to try Asian food and I fell in love with the taste! It was very healthy (I know some sweet ones with sugar is not but it wasn't too sweet but delicious). I tried what my kids picked. If I come back to visit my kids, I would definitely choose this place for lunch or dinner!

Vegetarian options: There are some foods that aren't too spicy and I asked to make sure which foods were okay for my stomach to handle“

“This is a take-out counter at the Crossroads Mall in Bellevue. Terrific and friendly service and excellent fresh-made food.

Vegetarian options: They offer Tofu (bean curd) as one of the protein options and veggie as well of course.“

“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.“

“Ordered the beef and chicken teriyaki combo with gyoza (T20) for 18.99 and was not disappointed. This place does teriyaki right, although some may say the sauce is too sweet for their liking. Personally, the sauce paired with the fried rice was well balanced. The gyoza was crispy but lacked flavor, and the dipping sauce it came with was too vinegary. I shared this plate with my sibling and we could only finish half of it. Great value for the amount of food you get.

Also got the bulgogi kimbap for $8.99 and found that the amount of rice was too much. I prefer a thin layer of rice so the filling inside can shine.
Service was great! Will come back in the future to try their yakisoba or chow mein.“

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

“Delicious Food and great service. I've been to all of their locations. Federal Way, Lakewood and now Bellevue and this is one of the better locations. 15 years ago the All You can eat dinner option was only $12.99 but in 2025 its $43.99, Man thats crazy! our buying power has really gone downhill. Brace Yourselves America!“

“The food, service, and atmosphere are all top-notch. The price is getting higher and higher... you might say that it is becoming that way with all the restaurants, but I took my child there last night, ordered 2 combo meals, and the bill was $80 after tax and tip. I don't know how the food should be valued anymore. Did we enjoy our meal? Yes, we did. Would we be happier if the same food cost $50-$60 after tax? We sure would! It is the way it is. You come for the atmosphere and pay for your experience.“

“The food has always been amazing, I've been here a few times. My husband and I went there for our anniversary and they went above and beyond to make it a special evening. Jino, Rani, and Jinwoo were all so sweet and helpful, it was such a wonderful evening.“

“I went to this spot at Southcenter Mall with my boyfriend and had such a great experience! We ordered the bulgogi and galbi platters, and both were fantastic. The service was friendly. Honestly, I didn’t expect much since it’s in a food court, which is always busy, but this place exceeded my expectations.

The portions were generous for the price, and the flavors were so authentic. I especially loved their kimchi, it wasn’t overly sour or acidic and their macaroni salad was a nice touch. The bulgogi had the perfect amount of sweetness and was well-balanced. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal, and this will definitely be our go to spot whenever we’re at the mall.

Also, the food court itself has plenty of seating. Even though I don’t usually like crowded places, they have some quieter seating options, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

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

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

“I’ve eaten at almost every pho shop in the northwest and this is definitely one of the best ones I’ve been to.
Probably the top two!
The broth is so good and intense. I always get the steak of brisket with steak on the side and I like to cook it myself.
I also like the self serve condiment bar because I absolutely love plenty of basil, lime, and sprouts. And they also have cilantro, which made me very happy.

Will definitely be back many times if I can Help it!“

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

“Very tasty and cute place!! Staff was kind, prices were good, and the menu had lots of options! I got the special Sparkling drinks with lychee and tried several corndogs- everything had good flavor and the corndogs came with several sauce options!“

“Only thing I'll complain about, is no vegetarian kimchi*** served (no fish sauce, anchovies, squid ink) with the bbq short ribs or korean kalbi beef [exquisite job to chefs]!

Sushi, on the other spectrum- all was delicious; between my little sister (which was visiting from Montana), our mother filled up on miso soups, 2 yellowtail, 2 spider rolls of the 6 & the salad n white rice...

Hopefully, next time visiting- vegetarian Kimchi will be an option, even if $7 charge for all you can have while dining 😉 !

Kid-friendliness: Depending on your child's palate*

Wheelchair accessibility: Back door entry is, while they are working on fixing issues with front door (street parking)-“

“The Chirashi was phenomenal! The assortment of sashimi was fresh, vibrant, and artfully presented. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for something satisfying and elegant. I’ll definitely be back for more.“

“My kiddos and I love coming here! It’s really good and fun. My only complaint is that I wish there was seating. They only have a tall bar height ledge that my kiddos can’t reach at all so I’m kneeling constantly which isn’t great for my old lady knees and ankles. But we continue going anyways“

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

“I recommend if you haven't gone go to the archive spot it's beautiful in the summer to sit outside with the killer view of downtown Seattle but this time I went to the Columbia City one and the food is exactly the same really good haven't been there in a while and it makes me wonder why I wait so long to go back because their food is great always consistent always delicious“

“Amazing desert Taiyaki and ice cream with Taiyaki shell. It's located in a corner with long countertop right across bath and body works. Taiyaki takes about 8 min to make so be prepared to wait, warm bites are the best. Free ice cream toppings upon serving located at the end of the countertop.“

“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!“

“Small place, and very clean. It's my first time here and I got the curry katsu, and it was delicious and very generous portions for the price. I'll definitely be coming back to check out the rest of the menu. Staff was very friendly as well.“

“Great food selection! The variety is always good, but it would be nice to be able to order a la carte in case you don't want to eat the "all you can eat" amount. Good service, but the combo of soft-spoken servers and loud-ish music made it difficult to hear what they were saying. It would also be nice if they had a menu to scan at the table rather than just up front. I almost feel like the tables could be bigger - once you get all your stuff to cook and your drinks and the burner is going, there's hardly any room to eat or cook without knocking something over or dragging your arm through something.“
