50 Best Korean Restaurants in Seattle

“delicious! the chicken was a bit tough, but i enjoyed the flavor and the overall selection of pickled radish and different flavors! working at a korean restaurant myself, this helped me understand korean street food cuisine better 💗💗💗“

“Friendly service and creative blend of traditional Korean and fusion dishes.“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“I’m writing this as I eat my leftovers. Im obsessed with the spicy soft tofu soup! The broth is made of bone broth and the spicy stuff when most places are water. The beef in the soup is great prime quality. The happy hour beef tartare was good! It’s on the sweeter side rather than the salty but the flavors really worked out. The service was nice as well! Andrew (i think that’s his name but young korean guy with tattoos) our server was the best.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

“Its a to go late night kitchen. I ordered chicken katsu and sausage w rice. There was mistake with doordash but the owner was kind enough to make katsu curry and fries. I tried fixing it through doordash but doordash stuck. If you place an online order just you know their restaurant won't show up but another location but the other location is under different name. But its doordash fault“

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

“Delicious but be careful with the spice level. I got the spicy chicken with the “hot” (2nd most spicy) spice level, and it was waaay too spicy for us, to the point that our mouths were just in constant pain the rest of the meal. I will be coming back and getting mild next time for sure.“

“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.“

“great food, very authentic“

“I placed my order and it was up within 5 minutes even tho the place was very busy. I got the Miso ginger chicken taco's. They were yummy, the chicken was tender and flavorful and the corn tortillas soft and delicious. This Lil establishment sits right on the water. Great place to hang out or catch the water taxi to downtown Seattle.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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,,,“

“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.“

“First time to Revel. Everything was wonderful...loved the Korean fried chicken and egg soufflé. Ribs were excellent and the panna cotta was wonderful. Ambiance was great (love the large photos on the walls) although the table next to us seemed kind of close.“

“Seriously amazing, seriously good, best burger I have had in a hot minute. The bun bread is just crispy enough. I love this. The milkshakes comes with one of the largest straws you can get, and the fruit chunks and ice cream combo is phenomenal. I will be back, need to try everything now.“

“Cute spot with tasty Korean food. I tried it a month ago and came back again. The ox bone soup was flavorful, garlicky, and delicious. Portions are generous, and the side dishes are great. Small space and usually crowded during peak hours. Metered parking available nearby.“

“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.“

“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 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“

“Amazing atmosphere with great service. Drinks are presented beautifully and taste is 10/10! Food is great as well overall a great place to come in and play some board games, get some drinks and eat. Owner is very sweet and inviting definitely coming back.“

“I love Teriyaki but that best Teriyaki that I ever had was here, and I am always trying new places but I finally found my favorite one here, the portions are big it last me for two meals easy, I love the quality of the food as well. They service is also very good I feel a warm welcoming vive. I will recommend this place to anyone who really appreciates great service and loves delicious food. 🩷🩷🩷🩷“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“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.“

“A great little Korean restaurant with amazing service and yummy food.

I had come here after looking for a spot to get some work done. After calling, the owners were very kind to let me know that they had WiFi available for paying customers. As this was surprisingly rare for other restaurants I called in for, I got myself some kimchi stew and set myself up at the table.

There is lots of seating available and you order at a self-serve kiosk near the entrance. The entrance is very accessible and they can host a variety of party sizes. Just make sure you let them know ahead of time if you are going to have a large group!

The stew had just the right flavors and came with kimichi and rice. For the price, I was very happy since I’d been eating lots of overpriced food since I landed here for my trip. They were quick with the meal prep, offered plenty of food for one, and offered wonderful customer service. They also have a bathroom that is accessible for paying customers! Couldn’t think of any place better to get some home cooked Korean dishes.“

“I traveled from the Tri-Cities to eat here, and the food was amazing. However, our experience was negatively impacted by an extremely rude server. We were celebrating a birthday, and when my friend ordered a lemonade she didn’t like and asked for water instead, the server refused to take it away, saying it would be a “waste.” She also rushed us while ordering and repeatedly rolled her eyes at us.
I understand that the restaurant can get very busy, but as a server myself, I believe it’s important to greet and treat customers respectfully. Unfortunately, my friend did not have a good experience, and although we tried to stay positive, her attitude made it difficult to fully enjoy our visit.“

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

“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!“

“The Kalbi ribs were delicious.

I was not a huge fan of the seafood tofu soup or most of the sides.

Service was lovely and the place was clean.

I would love to try it again but order a different flavor of soup.“

“A lot to unpack here. I ordered chicken wings and Korean fries here for pickup on DoorDash. I walked in when the app said it was ready. I told the bartender I was there for a DoorDash pickup and she said it would be 5 more minutes. I didn’t actually receive my for another 25 minutes after talking to her, and she even asked me a second time why I was there. Lol Also within this time I witnessed two different parties get the wrong order. I also saw that they serve Everclear shots. Wild. When my food finally came out, the bartender just set it on the bar like 3 seats away from me and said “it’s ready”. Not very personable at all. The fries were soggy. Not sure why since I’d been in the building for so long, but I’m a weirdo and I actually like soggy fries as well as crispy ones so I was fine with that - the flavour was great. Maybe if you order them there, they will be crispy. The wings were phenomenal. Their sound system is amazing and I love their music selection. I also liked the K-pop videos. My 5-star review is based on food and ambience only. Service is lacking, much like other reviewers say. I’d come back for a to-go order.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Highly rated, for good reason! It's been a while since I've been to a place that feels like the food portion and quality are a great deal, but this place nails it. Large portions, fair price and wonderful flavors and quality ingredients. The place is quaint and the staff is friendly and fast. I would say this is the best General Tso chicken in town!“

“I love this place and the owners. The food is so fresh and delicious. Such a treat to have this in our neighborhood. Those outside the neighborhood need to get in their cars and come to this restaurant. It’s worth the drive �“

“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.“

“Real beef and chicken pieces. Enough for two meals. Perfect sauce and perfect salad dressing.“

“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.“

“Love marination and supporting a local Hawaiian restaurant. Usually go to the Alki location but ended up here the other night around 7:00. However there are two things that need to be improved. 1. The Musubi I got was ice cold. I asked for a warmer one and was told they were all cold... Not sure why it’s okay to serve them cold here? Never happens at Alki. 2. So tired of the off brand ketchup packets. They’re not only wasteful and not biodegradable, but also rationed behind the counter at Alki like they’re gold. Bring back the pre-COVID ketchup dispenser so I can dip my fries without spending minutes sitting there opening packets one by one.“

“i have ordered takeout about once a week. i love this little place. food is good ready quickly. its clean and the people working there are always kind and nice. yes you still need a mask but i appreciate a business that cares about other people, highly recomend.“

“I've heard good things about the chicken for years and wow, was it awesome. J got the -crispy- half chicken with garlic sauce for 19 dollars. I was wincing at the price tag initially but the portion was enormous. I could not eat it all and I can eat a lot.

The chicken was crunchy and saucy, so juicy and tender and there was ample meat on the bone. They did not skimp in quality or quantity. I highly recommend going. Next time I will take a friends and order the whole chicken which seems like a really awesome deal for price. I will come back for sure!
