“Came for Happy Hour alone and decided to order each item from the bar menu and had myself a tasting menu. It was plenty of food... I really should have stopped at 3 or 4 HH portions. I highly recommend the garlic prawns, the chili cumin pork ribs, the duck spring rolls, and the tomato salad (with the salted egg). The bartender also poured me two exquisite cocktails... a sidecar and then a paloma. Yum!“

“DELICIOUS food, awesome service, and a fun vibe! The bulgogi burgers had plenty of rich meat. The thick-cut fries were perfectly salted. And the injeolmi milkshake was so refreshing. (If you haven’t tried injeolmi, it’s kind of nutty and roasty, but really light.) Our visit left us with full bellies and big smiles.
I’ll definitely be back for the bulgogi fries next time! The next time you want a burger (or bowl or burrito), come grab a real meal for the same price—or less than!—you’d pay at your tired chain drive-thru.“

“My grandsons say this is the best food they have ever eaten in their whole life. The fried chicken was perfectly crisp yet perfectly moist; the short ribs were exquisite; the pot stickers and sushi were great. We loved our flavors, food, and experience and will always come back. One grandson says he would take a plane from anywhere in the world just to come back here.“

“The Hue Style Beef Soup is Chef’s Kiss! Can’t recommend enough. Living in Belltown 15+ years, this is by far my favorite Pho, and only at Meekong! Set the bar high and is always consistent taste, quality, and (if you love #heat) a winner for sure. We’ll keep coming back and getting happily full with the Hue @Meekong. Cheers!“

“Good vibes! ^^
Kind friendly owner. Love supporting woman owned local businesses. Clean welcoming space. Outdoor seating. Root beer. Lots of Korean food around so choose wisely :)
Recommended: Dakgangjeong (Chicken) Authentic Korean taste and big portion. If you prefer milder food you may think it’s a little spicy but that’s subjective!“

“I ordered the beef teriyaki with extra meat, came out to about $36 which, before I GOT the food, felt like a lot. But when you see what you get it feels good. The food is excellent! The box couldn't stay closed on its own, they had to tape it shut. It fed me for two days. AWESOME. Gonna go back and get more tonight!“

“I had. The tonkatsu ramen here a few years ago, I think it has changed hands since. Today I ordered the Shibu ramen (kimchi) and enjoyed it very much. The broth and kimchi were the stars of this ramen bowl. They also sell canning jars of the fresh kimchi. The ramen is definitely worth trying if you’ve not had it before.“

“Can I live here?! Everything about this place screams fabulousness! From the delish food and sparkly foo-foo drinks, to the magical decor, to the attentive and festive team of servers and behind the scenes help. My daughter and I were so incredibly spoiled and we had such a wonderful experience. Brandon was absolutely amazing and loved his style and flair as well! A thousand thank-you’s!“

“The texture, cor, taste, sauces, seasoning, moisture, softness of the chicken, the freshness of the vegetables, and the richness yet not too rich teriyaki sauce mixture is almost to die for! Well balanced dish (although I had extra chicken), and the atmosphere (me being alone in the restaurant felt kinda good, but it's a little forlorn). Why not many people eat at this location is beyond me, but I HIGHLY recommend eating here. True quality and real appreciation of Teriyaki. Next time, I have to try something else besides just teriyaki. :)“

“Tried Ginger & Scallion and it lived up to the hype! Their rich, creamy Khao Soi is packed with bold flavors—no wonder it’s always busy.
Must-Try:
🍜 Seared Duck Khao Soi – Juicy duck, fragrant curry broth.
🥩 Beef Tenderloin Khao Soi – Tender, flavorful beef.
🍖 Oxtail – Fall-off-the-bone goodness.
Ended with Pandan & Thai Tea Tres Leches Tiramisu from San Bartolo Bake Shop—light, fluffy, and unforgettable.
If you love Khao Soi, this spot is a must!“

“First of all, the food here slapppssss! 🔥 it's very flavorful and the guy who served me was very nice and patient. The place was clean and there were many areas to sit and eat. I ordered the Soy garlic chicken and that was so good! It's worth the try! My GF got the spicy Korean chicken and that was also good. 10/10 would recommend a try.“

“Went here with my family. We had reservations so we were able to go in right away (there was a lot of people waiting). The drinks were really good and the food was awesome! Our waitress was very nice and suggested to split burger before we even asked (our family likes to share). We even made a reservation in two weeks to take other friends there! Definitely recommend!“

“Summary:
A great spot if you’re craving dumplings/potstickers. Their chive and shrimp dumplings are fresh and flavorful, making it worth a visit. However, I wouldn’t recommend the Dan Dan noodles as they fall short of authenticity. Service is quick and polite, run by what seems to be a hardworking couple. Overall, it’s a solid choice for dumplings, earning four stars.
Ambience (4/5):
The atmosphere is simple and no-frills, but it’s comfortable and welcoming. It’s a cozy spot to enjoy a casual meal, especially if you’re in the mood for dumplings. The focus here is clearly on the food, which is the main attraction.
Authenticity (3/5):
The dumplings are definitely the highlight, and the chive shrimp variety stands out as fresh and flavorful. However, the Dan Dan noodles were a letdown. They arrived in a stone bowl/pot, which looked unusual, and the taste was just okay—definitely not authentic. You can find better versions of Dan Dan noodles elsewhere.
Flavor (4/5):
The chive shrimp dumplings were fresh, with a great balance of flavor. I really enjoyed how the chive complemented the shrimp. However, the Dan Dan noodles were underwhelming in both presentation and taste. Stick to the dumplings—they’re what the restaurant does best.
Cost (4/5):
For the quality and portion sizes, the prices are reasonable. You’ll get a solid meal without breaking the bank, especially if you focus on the dumplings, which are definitely worth the price.
Service (5/5):
The service was excellent. It seems to be a couple running the restaurant, and they were fast, efficient, and very polite. The speed of the service really impressed me, and they made the dining experience smooth and enjoyable.
Tips for Visiting:
1. Stick to the dumplings: The dumplings are the star of the show here, especially the chive shrimp dumplings. I’d recommend focusing on these and skipping the Dan Dan noodles.
2. Quick service: The service is speedy and polite, so even during busy times, you won’t have to wait long for your food.
3. Casual spot: If you’re looking for a casual place with good dumplings, this is a great choice. The ambiance is simple, but it’s all about the food here.“

“Absolutely phenomenal experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted with warmth and genuine hospitality. The service was seamless—attentive without being intrusive, with every staff member radiating pride in what they do. The sushi? Impeccable. Each piece was a work of art—fresh, balanced, and masterfully crafted. The chef’s selection melted in our mouths, and the attention to detail was evident in every bite. From the ambiance to the presentation, everything reflected care, precision, and a love for the craft. They kept the sake flowing and the good times rolling. A truly memorable dining experience—we’ll be back without question. Umma will make sure you feel at home!“

“We saw some good reviews and thought we'd give it a try. Great call! The place is excellent. I had the crispy chicken, which was the best I've had. I had it served with mixed vegetables that were perfectly wok'd, still crunchy, not soggy, and with great flavor. Food is cooked to order, fresh, and very flavorful. Staff is friendly and hard working. Will definitely be back for more!“

Husband’s goto dishes are spicy chicken and garlic basil chicken. He actually craves Buddha, lol. I like the skirt and pork ribs.
Great place to have in town <3“

“Great taste, generous portion, and affordable!! Jjajangmyeon is a must. Fried chicken wings and tangsuyuk (sweet sour pork) are also great options (order separate sauce for maximum crispiness). Their stir fry dish is also tasty. Love supporting local restaurant!“

“Last time I ordered a super value single meal at Haidilao Seattle, it was just right! I chose the spicy hot pot with clear oil, which was spicy enough but not too irritating, and served with Angus beef, which was cooked in 8 seconds. The meat was tender and juicy, super satisfying! The portion was just right, and it wouldn't be wasted if I ate it alone, and I felt so happy after eating it~😋“

“I had a hankering for udon soup, and Grain House delivered (and then some). The beef was good quality, and they went to the effort of packaging the soup separately from everything else so the noodles didn't get soggy. The basic house salad was also very affordable ($2.50) and delicious.
When I came here last August, I got the Crazy Sandwich cut roll and it was also delicious. And it came in the form of adorable little triangle sandwich slices. 10/10 would eat here again.“
