50 Best Korean Restaurants near Renton

“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.“

“Amazing place! Food is great and staff is absolutely Top notch great customer service!“

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

“This was the perfect stop after picking up my folks from the airport. It was a chilly day and pho sounded good. Their broth was clean and good, not too salty or oily. Noodles were cooked well, not overdone and mushy. They have a fresh veggie bar that you could pick your veggies to go into your pho. This was a huge plus for me. The place was clean, well lit, and service was great, with staff being kind and friendly.“

The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was fast and friendly. It’s a great spot whether you’re craving Korean-Chinese comfort food or just looking for a satisfying meal.

Highly recommend Paik’s Noodle if you’re in the Lynnwood area—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“It was so much fun❤️ The bartender played a game called “King’s Game” with us and it made our night so much fun! If you want to have a fun night too, ask Jin about it. They prepared Halloween decorations and it really got us excited. The strawberry daiquiris we ordered at the bar was delicious and really got us into the Halloween vibes. We’ll be back soon.“

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

“Seoul Tofu in Kent is such a comforting and reliable spot for Korean food. The tofu is rich, flavorful, and comes out perfectly hot every time. You can really taste the depth of the broth, and the ingredients always feel fresh and well-prepared.
The banchan are generous and delicious, and the portion sizes are very satisfying. Service is friendly and efficient, even when they’re busy, and the restaurant has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Especially the young man in the front, and as well as the other server.
If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food—especially soon tofu—this place is a must-visit. One of the best Korean spots in the area!“

“I stopped here because I wanted to grab something to eat with my family before the Janet Jackson concert. I had never heard of this restaurant so I was excited and extremely surprised with how intricate their menu experience was. The food was exceptional and the presentation was memorable. The flavor combinations were very creative and they definitely leave a lasting impression. I highly recommend the fried rice with kimchi, bacon, squidding, and the quail egg. also the oxtail dish and the salad dish were extremely unique and highly creative, and absolutely delicious.“

“My absolute FAVORITE Korean restaurant! They used to have multiple locations in Federal Way & Great Wall. Now that those closed, I'd travel any distance to come here. No other soonduboo around compares and it's one of the rare korean restaurants not using the bathroom as an extra closet.
Pro tip - if you are Korean, ask for the off menu Extra Extra Spicy!“

“great food, very authentic“

“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.“

“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.“

“So i want to eat korean food after an afternoon of walking around and randomly i decided to go to this resto, i think i am really hungry but i ordered bibimbap, chicken wings, seafood pancake, and kimchi jjigae. With beer of course. The ahjumma must be surprised that i ordered a lot 🤣. The owner is korean so this is a legit place. Then when i can't finish them all i ordered to go box and maybe the server man noticed i didn't get up after paying so he gave me a corn tea. To help with digestion,, but hey it worked. Thank you to the staff, i wish i can visit them again.. when i come back,,,“

“Trying to eat lunch outside this Wells Fargo building is Seattle which houses several businesses but several employees smoking next to the facility that makes for a poor eating experience.

Also, could use more outside seating (some with umbrellas).“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“I went in for the first time today for lunch after a pretty far walk from work. They are super nice, friendly and chatted with me a bit and explained their different menu options. They suggested the samurai which I got and it is very good to say the least. It’s super vibrant looking and very flavorful. I definitely highly recommend and will be coming back again“

“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.“

“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. 🔥🍽️“

“Underrated Teriyaki and Korean food restaurant with easy take out. Best teriyaki on Rainier and perhaps in town. The only fault that it is closed on Sundays. Quite delicious food options. This is the place you want to go for a delicious meal.“

“The server who was working our table came by asking what was wrong with our computer. He came to make sure our order was going through and replaced our grill plate. He was funny and very kind to us ensuring we had a great experience. Very timely as well.“

“This place deserves all the hype! The jalapeno kolache is exactly how they are in Texas, I’m impressed and will definitely be back!

The cashier was very friendly and recommended items to us. Everything looked good!

I noticed that the prices are extremely fair as well.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“I've passed this restaurant on the way to work every day for MONTHS, telling myself I'm going to stop by one day. That day was today and I could not be more pleased. Definitely recommend the chicken of course, the mandu (fried dumplings), and the spring rolls. For drinks definitely try the Honey Citron Tea; AH-mazing! I was so upset for not coming in sooner but I will definitely be back. Customer service was top tier!“

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

“A new up coming restaurant in burien just five minutes from the seatac airport and 15 minutes outside of seattle. Its my second time in here now and I got to say each time ive came in here I was met with a warm welcome as if I were greeted by a old friend, the restaurant is very clean with tables and chairs that can fit possibly 20-25 people dining in. The restaurant plays current radio hits which is nice when youre unwinding and waiting for your meal. I ordered the yangyeom chicken and the cheese & herb shake fries as a meal and comes with a drink. The shake fries were 10/10 the fries were crisp and soft to the bite and they did not skip on the portions I had a whole bag of fries I finished in one sitting. Now the chicken was absolutely delicious crisp, crunchy, and tender I could eat it without any sauces but the sauce did add a whole level of flavor truly delicious. Ill be definitely stopping by often for more.“

“So good so good so good so good“

“I Highlight recommend this place. I tried their Beef Bibimbap and it was really authentic and delicious. Don't underestimate the simple look of the small restaurant. They are giving a very good quality/price ratio.“

“Great service, delicious, and fun for the whole family! Was super exciting to have Korean Bbq in Kent! Will definitely be going back and highly recommend!“

“Delicious comfort Korean food. The staff is very friendly. It's my go to of those chilly Seattle rainy days.“

“The owners are truly kind, grateful people. The food is fresh- I had a Poke bowl with Salmon and avocado, and it was FULL of good flavor. My kids were crazy about the BBQ Chicken- awesome portions and fantastic sweet/smoky flavor! My wife tried the Yakisoba, and loved all the vegetables. Very solid value for the buck- this is a great place to check out. Glad we made the drive from Woodinville!“

“Cute store. I originally wanted some donut but changed my mind when I saw they have corndog. I chose a classic half cheese half sausage.

The corndog was made fresh on order so I had to wait a little bit for it to be ready. Sause was spicy mayo cuz it was said to be best seller but to be honest I would have wanted something a little bit sweeter, but that was just personal preference. The corndog was crunchy enough for me, good cheese pull, decent sausage. Loveddd the dough it was good hehe.“

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“Five stars just for having a website with a menu with photos, descriptions, and prices. I went in and knew exactly what I wanted to order. I got a 2 slider combo ($13 as of October, 2025) with kālua pork and pocket tots. The sliders were delicious, the kālua pork was tender and the signature slaw was fresh and flavorful.“

“If I could give Kobe more than 5 stars, I would. Every dish we tried was outstanding. The White Dragon Roll was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The Hot Pot Bibimbop arrived sizzling with perfectly balanced spices. The Teriyaki Chicken with Yakisoba was pure comfort food, and the Chicken and Dumplings were rich and satisfying.

For dessert we shared the chocolate ice cream, which turned out to be Oreo cookie ice cream—a great surprise and an even better value.

The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and attentive, and it is clear the staff works as a team. The ambience is calming and makes it easy to relax and enjoy the meal.

This will definitely be our regular spot for date nights and whenever we are craving something amazing.“

“All very delectable DIY AYCE (all you can eat) Korean barbecue plus copious refillable sides. Personal faves are the spicy tofu soup and beef spare ribs (shown). Note however the restaurant has recently come under NEW management. The prices are the same but take note they NO longer accept Groupons, which is unfortunate if you had purchased some prior. Perhaps they will offer a grand reopening special if they know what's good for their customer base. Came today to retrieve a hat I had left on my last visit, but 'twas nowhere to be found, possibly lost in the reshuffle. Was told they be closed for a few days circa 1/20/2026 to get things refurbished. Will try them again once the dust settles, and so may you.“

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

“This place is truly a hole in the wall, but don’t let that fool you—the food was absolutely delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. We’re so glad we decided to give it a try because it ended up being a great find. You honestly can’t beat the prices for the quality and portion sizes. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re looking for great food without the hype.“

“Love this place- great teriyaki, fruit, veggie tempura, california rolls, and other options. Friendly owners and great prices, especially for being in Columbia Tower. Hot tip- go between 2:10pm and when they close at 2:50pm for a 20% discount.“
