“Great okonomiyaki and udon!“

“Grilling is n art Issian has mastered . This is why we- my family and friends- love this place.“

“Foodies, this is a must try if you are ever in the area. Most sushi houses have a hard time getting Uni, but we had 4 dishes with fresh Uni in it. You won't regret it.“

“(UPDATED REVIEW) I visited here in December 2023. Last time, the food was so good and the servicd was amazing. The prices weren't bad either. Im back again, and the food is still top tier. Really good dining place, the service is immaculate. The prices could be a little cheaper but its okay! Love this place!“

“It is always a challenge for me to eat Asian food of any type, as I cannot eat any soy sauce. We went to this restaurant on Wednesday evening and back again on Friday for lunch. To say they worked with us on my allergy would be an understatement. The staff went above and beyond to make sure I had amazing food and a wonderful experience! Tye (sp) took care of us on the first visit. You would be hard pressed to find a better server. Each recommendation given turned out to be wonderful. I just cannot say enough good things about this place. Please go check them out! You will not be disappointed.“

“Delicious food, great vibe“

“Recommend to everyone 10/10“

“Quality ramen and great service.“

“Went here on a Friday night, wasn't busy at all we were sat right away. Menu is super simple which I love... sometimes ramen menus are over whelming. The ramen was very good... didn't take long at all. I really loved the consistency of the noodles..more on the firm side. Broth was very good and not too salty. The karage chicken 😍 very very good and crispy ! It did take quite some time for our cocktails but there weren't a lot of people working. They turned out good tho. Will be back to try other things on the menu.“

“This place is great if you know what to get. I usually come with a small group and we order to share

- some of the cheap rolls, which are not exceptional but ARE great value for cost and complement the following really well
- tteokbokki (the spicy Korean rice cakes), optionally with ramen noodles
- the pork belly with kimchi
- fried chicken

Of these the pork belly with kimchi is the most unique – I don't know of anywhere else in Seattle that does the particular chunky, crispy cuts that Ku does, and the kimchi is a great pairing. Everyone in my group who likes pork belly loves this one.

tldr: yes, the menu is hit and miss, but if you take figure out your favorites, it's a great place to get a varied meal.“
