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!“

“This restaurant offers a variety of classic Korean dishes with the banchan standing out as a highlight for us. However, the interior feels underwhelming and lacks the warmth or ambiance you'd expect for the price point. Staff and a family were yelling across the restaurant at each other, albeit in a friendly manner. While the food is great, the prices may not justify a stop for some people. Food was incredibly fast and the single order was beyond enough for two people.“

“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.

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, all first floor“

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

“Excellent AYCE Korean BBQ. The self service bar is well set up and has a good selection of banchan and some grilled/fried offerings too. Many of the meat cuts (brisket, pork belly, etc) are also in the bar. It's all self-service, but that means the speed and convenience is fantastic.

For a lunch special, this place is hard to beat!“

“Good quality food, quick service, clean interior, friendly staff…all around great restaurant, no notes! Definitely a hidden gem tucked away in a random plaza not too far from the city. I came on a Friday after work and despite it being during their rush, the staff were very polite and the food came out fast and tasted great! Will definitely be returning whenever the teriyaki cravings hit“

“Always a great spot for take-away. I always get the beef teriyaki and it's great, sauce is not overwhelming. Recently had their orange chicken and I like it. Not too overwhelming and it doesn't have a weird mayonnaise-y aftertaste like other take-away Chinese.“

“Some of the best Chinese food I've had in the greater Seattle area. SPECTACULAR. It reminds me of a favorite place i grew up with back east. The taste is exactly what you want, and that fried rice burrito was absolutely fantastic (i needed to break out the gloves to keep my hands clean, though, haha!)“

“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“

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

“This place is the good ngl and I love the look and the people here are chill 10/10“

“December 31, 24 I really enjoyed it.
rice. side dish. Jjige... (I haven't tried it, but other menu items as well) are great for competing with steamed Korean food. Seattle Korean food is the best here!! Can you see that it’s completely empty haha?“

“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!“

“The lady at the front counter is very kind and welcoming. The bossam and jokbal were ready in about 10 minutes. While I’ve had better, this place is decent for Seattle. I wish the bossam pieces were smaller and softer, as some were quite large and a bit dry. If I lived here, I would likely return.“

“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.“

“I've tried a few dishes here and there, and each time I pick up my order, the sweet lady always remembers the smallest details. And not too mention, EVERYTHING I've had was delicious! A great spot to pick up good bites and take to the park or to Stoups or home.

Kid-friendliness: Outdoor seating, small menu bites.“

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

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

“What an awesome place! Food was great, service too. Enjoyed barley tea for the first time and absolutely loved the sides that came with our meals. There wasn't a lot of seating but the overall feel of the place was relaxing. Would definitely go again.“

“the wings and coffee are fire. enough said“

“I visited a few days ago, and the kimchi stew was truly a work of art. I asked for it to be extra spicy, and it was spicy, spicy, and delicious. I didn't add any other strange ingredients, just pork kimchi, onions, and tofu, and it was really delicious! The side dishes included seasoned bean sprouts, spinach, green onion pancakes, stewed potatoes, and kimchi, which were really nice!“

“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.“

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

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

“great food, very authentic“

“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.“

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

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

“It's been a little over 15 days since I came to the US, and I've been to about 6 Korean restaurants.

It has the best taste out of all the places I've been to so far.
The taste of the food and side dishes were all good.

Personally, I think it would have been better if the bulgogi or ribs were a little less salty.

The service quality is also good.“

“We had our team lunch here. Super yummy Korean chicken!! We really enjoyed the chicken sandwiches and the spicy chicken wings. It was crispy on the outside and juicy in the inside! I would recommend trying the sweet and spicy and Seoul hot sauce!!“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“Quick update: I heard that now the owner has changed. I am updating my review wishing the best for the new owner :)

Previous review:
The server is very RUDE. She will call you up after checkout and comment about the amount of tip you pay. And our order was mixed up too. Highly recommend not to go there.“

“Just the best! it was a food explosion on your taste buds. I highly recommend this place.“

“The prices are a tad expensive here, but it comes with a lot of side dishes (purple rice, Korean pancake, fish tofu, sweet potato, tasty kimchi) and the food is really good. The side dishes can also be requested to be refilled. I also think this spot is more homie and has better food than at Korean Tofu House Express, but it gets crowded quickly. The chopsticks are flat so I found them pretty hard to use.“

“Went to Revel in Fremont for a birthday dinner. It was my first time, and I was Beyond impressed. Location is Awesome, right in Fremont. Parking is easy with street and lot parking. The staff and ambiance were Great and the food was Delicious! I will be back soon!“

“best meal while in Seattle area.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I came for the tteokbokki at the u district food walk. It was very good: spicy, hot, and rich. I didn't love that the default ordering system is from a giant screen instead of a person. There were people at the cash register, and they were quite friendly when I ordered from them instead. The interior is nice. I would come back!“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of feasting at this venue recent. I was accompanied by a gorgeous date and hosted by our A1 server Nico.
Throughout the meal, he provided reassurance that he'd be attentive to cooking EVERYTHING. He truly wasn't kidding. I'd go back just to have Nico station the grill again. 11 out of 10. Great experience.“

“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.“

“So delicious! I have tried the fried chicken, the spicy chicken sandwich, and the bulgogi bowl. All were made to order, flavorful, with great texture! Their chicken sandwich is particularly addictive, with a spicy sauce, light and crispy chicken, and tasty slaw. Writing this is making me hungry!“

“Tasty food, fast, friendly service, comfy, nicely decorated space. Glad to see tables AND booths. Made it feel more like a "real" restaurant. New to Korean food but really enjoyed the seafood pancakes and got a taste of my husband's beef bulgigi, which was also good.“

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