50 Best Korean Restaurants near Shoreline

“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!“

“Good little place to drop in if you're craving Korean. Side dishes were lovely and refilled often and the food we ordered was authentic and tasty. Luckily it wasnt busy when we went and they seated our large-ish party of 7 immediately. Nice little hidden gem.“

“Excellent food. NOTE that it's a market, not dining, and is essentially a TO GO kitchen, much is refrigerated, offering specialty food. Korean side dishes.

I'm not an expert on this cuisine and so I received kind help from the staff.

I bought fresh vegetable side dishes: spicy pickled radish/kimchi dish, sweet slightly hot potato--awesome, a crunchy mung bean dish, and a spinach with garlic dish.

Perfect flavors. No funky dirty vegetables, all carefully prepared and gently seasoned. Will go again.

Served with hot rice --brown rice this time-- at home.

“This is my go-to lunch spot every time I hop over to the Seattle side of the Sound, which is basically weekly… The staff are super friendly and their self-serve all-you-can-eat bbq bar is always nice and fresh with a good selection of meats and sides that really hit the spot. They also have a full menu of traditional Korean dishes. I will keep returning until life takes me away from WA in 2026…
(Be sure to try their soft serve ice cream after your meal!)“

“This is my favorite restaurant! Always amazing food and service!“

“Our favorite neighborhood restaurant. We usually eat there …appreciating the welcome and developing sense of friendship. Asian menu includes Japanese, Chinese and Korean cuisine — all delicious, served hot in generous quantity. It’s clean and comfortable, quick and convenient.“

“Considering it was after 11pm and they were still open, and they were totally slammed (delivery only after 10; can't speak to the atmosphere as the place was closed except for the pick-up counter), they straightened out an order I was supposed to pick up for [rhymes with Doober Beats] in moments - even tho the chef came out from the kitchen and was complaining (I mean, I think he was, he wasn't happy but his accent was so thick I couldn't understand and he ended up reverting back to his native Spanish), the guy at the counter went and cooked the order himself. My customer never ended up meeting me to let me in his building (after saying implicitly that he would, he didn't respond to any of my texts or phone calls and I only got $5 for all my time, fuel, and effort) so after I was done driving that night I got to partake in the cancelled order. Despite it being cold, and the fact that it was Chinese food (shrimp fried rice with lots of shrimp and veggies) from a teriyaki place where everyone there - customer/delivery driver and staff alike - spoke Spanish, it was damn good. When I can afford it, I will definitely go back during regular business hours“

“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!“

“This was our first visit to this place. We went around 12:30ish on a sunday and found a table immediately (for 3). Hot tea was served after we sat down. We also got radish kimchi and cabbage kimchi. Both were really good.
Our order included - Brisket sullungtang, dumplings soup, mixed sullungtang.
Unfortunately the seafood pancake is served only after 4 PM.
The soup was a little bland for our taste, but they had sea salt and pepper. After adding some salt, it was very good. They also serve a red chilli paste (it was nice to eat the rice with that paste).
The soup was served steaming hot and until we finished, it was hot. No regret with any of our orders. Service was good too!
Will definitely visit this place to try the others - pancake and tongue sullungtang for sure which we couldn't try earlier.

Vegetarian options: No options“

“this place is so 🤌🤌🔥🔥🔥 should have a line out the door. hugeeee portions and wow. so good! bravo🫵🫵“

“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.“

“My favorite restaurant in Seattle! Hot Bop for life :)“

“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.“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“Amazing Staff! So Friendly and the food! Off the Charts!!“

“So happy a dedicated jokbal/bossam restaurant opened. The jokbal I ordered was delicious, with the proper fragrance and seasoningThe single serving was huge, more than enough for two people. Three people would satisfied with extra lettuce, garlic, shrimp sauce, and samjang. They didn’t try to deceive with a lot of bones. Service is fast, packaging was somewhat eco friendly with paper instead of plastic.“

“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!“

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

“The food is great. I called on my lunch to order . Multiple times got hung up on. Pick up then hang up. Then I go in to order and the kid taking orders did the same thing when people called. Not even very busy and he’s hanging up on customers calling to place an order. not cool. Might wanna let him know. But the place is great never had food I didn’t like“

“Super friendly staff, cosy atmosphere and amazing food. 11/10, I would bring all my friends here :))“

“I had the most delicious Korean gimbap, sundubu (soft tofu stew), and galbi (grilled short ribs) in Seattle. It truly tasted like a home-cooked meal—just like mom’s cooking! 👍
It was also my first time experiencing such warm and thoughtful service at a restaurant. The staff’s kindness and the heartfelt farewell as we left left a lasting impression.
I highly recommend this place—many people should come and try it for themselves! 😁😁

“First time here and will surely come back, staff are very friendly, food is great and the place is very clean.“

“I had ojingeo-bokkeum on the mind and pulled into the closest Korean restaurant Google maps found: 9292. On the smaller side of many Korean BBQ joints I've eaten at. Came with a friend who had been wanting to try Tteok-bokki for a long while. Service was quick and steady; our food arrived 15 minutes after placing our order. This is my first time having tteok-bokki in my spicy squid stir fry. Not bad at all, just wasn't expecting it. The flavors were typical of ojingeo and I appreciate the amount of squid that was in the dish. Some places like to put a bunch of veggies and you end up with like 4-5 pieces of squid. The cheesy Tteok-bokki was good. My buddy really loved the hell out of it. It was fun watching her eat and gripe about why she hadn't eaten it sooner. Even had some makgeolli. Can't forget the makgeolli!

Overall, not a bad spot.“

“Food is delicious but the employees that was working that day were a little unorganized and got our order wrong. The restaurant is small so when it is busy there is really no place to wait. But the food we did get was good. We didn't have time to go back and get the right order, so maybe next time.“

““I recently visited a Korean restaurant in Edmonds and was absolutely delighted! The atmosphere was very cozy, and the service was top-notch. I especially loved the fresh dumplings – they were incredibly delicious! I will definitely be coming back again!”“

“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.“

“This is my go to for quality comfort style Korean food. It's one of my guilty pleasures to get food delivered from here and it's always exactly what Im looking for, hearty, well seasoned and generous portions. Get Japchae, Kimchi Fried Rice and Bulgogi. Eat what you can and eat the leftovers like a king.“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

“Honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but the food and staff here rocks. I’ll definitely be adding this spot to the rotation!“

“Awesome food. Great people. Will be back often!!!!“

“great food, very authentic“

“the wings and coffee are fire. enough said“

“I’ve lived in Seattle, my entire life and the quality of the Teriyaki restaurants left here seems to be going downhill… but not Teryiaki Madness!!!

The service was extremely friendly. The food was fast, fresh and hot. Portions were large and everything was cooked to perfection! If you’re looking for that authentic fresh Seattle Teriyaki, you’ve come to the right place.“

“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.“

“My first time coming here! I was so missing out 🤣 glad i found this place. I def come back for their yummy food. Everything i ordered was sooo good!
The portion of the food is so big especially. I think 1 dish is more like for 3-4 persons.

Service was really good! Very attentive and they took care of us well and made sure we were okay with everything

I highly recommend this place“

“As a huge fan of Joule, I've been excited to try Revel for a while and I finally had the opportunity this last weekend.

Overall, it's good, not great.
The service is okay, a bit awkward for me compared to Joule which has a much more inviting and helpful atmosphere.

The short rib wontons tasted more like ground beef imo. They didn't have the rich beefy flavor I expected from short rib.

The kimchi pancake was the standout for me and was absolutely delicious. Not authentic Korean by any means but it really is a fantastic fusion dish!

The galbi short rib plate(not pictured) was very nice and charred as it should be. Some super tender cuts and some tough and some uncomfortably chewy cuts.
Bonus points because they leave meat on the bone for that classic chewy, close to the bone gristle.

Lastly, the Jaengban noodles were refreshing! These were more on the authentic Korean side for me with the exception of the type of noodles which were closer to spaghetti than anything I expected.
The sauce is a simple gochujang/sesame base. Really nice and light.

I see some reviews mentioning that the portion sizes for the price are too small. No idea what these people are talking about, go to a diner(?)“

“best meal while in Seattle area.“

“I’ve been coming to Kochi Po-Cha for almost 2 years now and keep returning because the food quality and flavors are consistently amazing. The pork belly and chicken katsu are a must-have each time I go. And the late night hours and fun music make this a great spot for weekends.

The restaurant also went through a revamp within the past few months, with new tables and chairs, new menu items, and new complimentary side dishes, all of which were great decisions to improve the dining experience.

The service also improved significantly with this revamp. I notice the food comes out quicker and the servers, especially Bri, are very attentive in refilling side dishes and utensils/napkins without us asking. She provides great service from the moment we sit down to the moment we pack up and leave. We even celebrated a birthday there recently and she brought us complimentary soft serve with a candle in it, and invited a bunch of kind strangers over to sing for our table. She made our night!

Kochi Po-Cha is a place that consistently delivers delicious food and great service. I’d highly recommend it to others!“

“amazing food, fantastic service! taste explosion of goodness! a MUST visit place!“

“A very solid place for good traditional Korean soups. I had the spicy beef soup and was very happy. The place is not trendy and looked to attract a very local crowd. Prices were inline with other Korean restaurants. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other soup selections.“

“Frankly, this is the best amongst the restaurants, in the eatery place. A lady who seemed to be an owner of "Best Tofu House" is a nice lady. Its price was appropriate to its food I purchased. Check yourselves out at this "Best Tofu House." I'll go back and eat at this, Best Tofu House.“

“We stopped by and ordered the carnitas fries and crab rangoons—both were seriously delicious. The fries were loaded and flavorful without being overly greasy, and the crab rangoons had that perfect crispy bite with a rich, creamy filling. You can tell they use quality ingredients and really care about what they’re serving.

The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming—it felt like visiting a local spot where people actually care about their customers. Their energy really set the tone and made the experience even better.

We didn’t try the drinks this time, but they looked super creative and well put together—definitely coming back to try those. Plus, the location is perfect for enjoying a sunny Seattle day. Great food, great people, and a relaxed, fun vibe. Highly recommend!“

“Seriously, I've never had a better server. She memorized our 5 orders with drinks and appetizers perfectly. She checked-in just the right amount and brought us stuff before we even knew we needed it. Amazing customer service is still alive and well here. The food was amazing too. The chicken is wonderful the sides were unique and tasty as were the drinks. I brought family from out of town and they were beyond impressed. 5 stars deserves 10 stars.“

“AMAZING! This is some of the best Korean food I have had and maybe some of the best I’ve ever had. I got the Japchae-bap and literally texted all my friends with pictures. It’s so delicious. Don’t pay attention to the negative comments, they are just wrong.“

“A few months ago, I lost my bag after having a meal, and I didn’t even realize it until two days later. It was such a stressful situation because it contained many valuable items. While trying to figure out where I had left it, I found out from the owner that I had left it at Stone. I was incredibly grateful when I heard that it had been safely kept. He told me not to worry, that it was being looked after.

Thankfully, when I went to pick it up, everything was just as I had left it. I was so relieved and truly thankful. Since then, I’ve ordered delivery several times and also visited the restaurant again—and every time, the food has been consistently delicious.

Wishing you continued success in your business!“

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

“Love it, love when I mix everything together in my soft tofu soup, that’s heaven feels like food dancing on your taste buds. I had bulgogi and soft tofu soup, their side dishes are savory as well, can’t wait to try again for their marinated chicken!“

“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 👍“

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

“What a gem! As you enter this place, the decor is inviting and modern. The owners are very friendly. The fusion Korean food doesn't compromise the genuine taste of Korean food and this coming from a very picky person when it comes to korean food. The portion is huge. The bulgogi burrito is large enough for 2 people to share. We didn't order the burgers but I heard that the owners specialize in burgers. Next time I'm definitely going to try the burgers!“
