“We come here for bulgogi & yakisoba a lot, it’s my husbands and kids favorite! We got bimpap and musubi today and it was delicious. The owner saw our girls and gave them a free yogurt drink. She was super sweet, as was the staff there. 10/10 recommend!“

“I got the 4 meat right before selection, which I recommend. Somebody, knows what they are doing..I would give this place an A+, but I'm giving it an A. I give it an A because, I did not order avBobo drink. Or, one of those drinks I kept staring at posted on the door. As I ordered take out..The service and atmosphere was good 👍...No complaint..very attentive, inviting, judgement free...I stepped into the door, after 3 other people and they treated me, like everybody else..so kind. Thank you.“

“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 💗💗💗“

“We ordered the Bulgogi, Kalbi and chicken wings, everything was delicious. Even the banchan was so yummy! Service was excellent! Just a perfect little jewel in Kent!“

“It was so much fun❤️ The bartender played a game called “King’s Game” with us and it made our night so much fun! If you want to have a fun night too, ask Jin about it. They prepared Halloween decorations and it really got us excited. The strawberry daiquiris we ordered at the bar was delicious and really got us into the Halloween vibes. We’ll be back soon.“

“Really fun place at the gas station! Very nice people!“

“I had an amazing experience at Paik’s Noodle in Lynnwood! The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The Stir-fried Jajangmyeon was rich and savory, the Soontofu Jjamppong had the perfect balance of spice and seafood, and everything tasted fresh and comforting.

The portions were generous, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was fast and friendly. It’s a great spot whether you’re craving Korean-Chinese comfort food or just looking for a satisfying meal.

Highly recommend Paik’s Noodle if you’re in the Lynnwood area—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Amazing place! Food is great and staff is absolutely Top notch great customer service!“

“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!“

“Seoul Tofu in Kent is such a comforting and reliable spot for Korean food. The tofu is rich, flavorful, and comes out perfectly hot every time. You can really taste the depth of the broth, and the ingredients always feel fresh and well-prepared.
The banchan are generous and delicious, and the portion sizes are very satisfying. Service is friendly and efficient, even when they’re busy, and the restaurant has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Especially the young man in the front, and as well as the other server.
If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food—especially soon tofu—this place is a must-visit. One of the best Korean spots in the area!“

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

“If you value great presentation and love food that looks as good as it tastes, Ahram is calling your name. This contemporary mom-and-pop restaurant is the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal.

The lunch boxes are beautifully crafted, with sushi neatly arranged in rows and each side dish nestled in its own cozy compartment. Every bite is a delight on its own, and together they create a harmonious symphony of flavors.

And the complementary soup was a nice touch as we are new to ordering from their menus“

“This is my go-to spot for a working lunch. Absolutely love their food! The banchans are top notch, packed with flavor and always feel like a treat. I easily get two meals out of one bowl. Every dish hits the spot - customizable, consistently delicious and satisfying. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a flavorful, reliable Korean meal. The service is fast and the staff is courteous.“

“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.“

“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).“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This is the fastest service for lunch in downtown Seattle. They have delicious food (my favorite is the Radical bowl, with raw salmon and tuna), a variety of options for everyone, and the owners and staff are wonderful. They're so kind and friendly.

The food is always fresh and delicious. I've been going here for 5 years, and the quality has always been good and hasn't changed.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This is my absolute go-to spot for lunch or dinner whenever I’m craving solid Korean food. You really can’t go wrong with their Fried Chicken, Seafood Pancake, and Soondubu—it is the perfect combo! The food is consistently good and comes out fairly quickly. If you want a reliable meal that hits the spot every time, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!!“

“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!“

“hubby and I were in from Indy and we had bacon burger and Hawaiian burger. pretty tasty.“

“If you’re craving bold flavors and comforting Korean classics, this restaurant is an absolute standout. Every dish feels like it’s made with genuine care—rich broths, perfectly balanced seasonings nothing too salty, and fresh ingredients that speak for themselves.

The kimchi hits that ideal mix of spicy, tangy, and deeply fermented goodness. Their short ribs is tender and marinated to perfection, melting in your mouth with every bite. The dishes arrive vibrant and beautifully arranged, and once mixed, it becomes a harmony of textures and flavors that’s simply addictive. And don’t skip the banchan—each small dish brings its own personality and rounds out the meal in a way that feels both generous and authentic. Could not decide which one was my favorite! Out of all Korean restaurants ive ever been too this one won me over just with the banchan! The japchae was also hands down best of all time.

Service is was fast, making the whole dining experience even better. We did have reservations, the parking lot and restaurant was booming at 6:30 PM on a Saturday night. Be sure to arrive a bit early if going during dinner time and prepare to fight for a spot or two or circle around a few times. But honestly, once you taste the food, you’ll realize it’s more than worth the effort.“

“A new up coming restaurant in burien just five minutes from the seatac airport and 15 minutes outside of seattle. Its my second time in here now and I got to say each time ive came in here I was met with a warm welcome as if I were greeted by a old friend, the restaurant is very clean with tables and chairs that can fit possibly 20-25 people dining in. The restaurant plays current radio hits which is nice when youre unwinding and waiting for your meal. I ordered the yangyeom chicken and the cheese & herb shake fries as a meal and comes with a drink. The shake fries were 10/10 the fries were crisp and soft to the bite and they did not skip on the portions I had a whole bag of fries I finished in one sitting. Now the chicken was absolutely delicious crisp, crunchy, and tender I could eat it without any sauces but the sauce did add a whole level of flavor truly delicious. Ill be definitely stopping by often for more.“

“Love the place at first , don’t go now. Small portions and prices increase Good bye“

“This was the perfect stop after picking up my folks from the airport. It was a chilly day and pho sounded good. Their broth was clean and good, not too salty or oily. Noodles were cooked well, not overdone and mushy. They have a fresh veggie bar that you could pick your veggies to go into your pho. This was a huge plus for me. The place was clean, well lit, and service was great, with staff being kind and friendly.“

“So good so good so good so good“

“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.“

“The food is solid and the staff were friendly and attentive. I've been to a few KBQ places now and I did have some things that could have made the experience much better. First the grill was turned too high most of the meal. They did turn it down at one point but too low, then back up again. The marinated meats were good but the regular meat was pretty plain. Not high enough quality to eat with minimal seasoning. This was a birthday celebration so I was hoping it would be a bit better, but it was definitely not bad. We liked the variety and endless banchan.“

“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.“

“The owners are truly kind, grateful people. The food is fresh- I had a Poke bowl with Salmon and avocado, and it was FULL of good flavor. My kids were crazy about the BBQ Chicken- awesome portions and fantastic sweet/smoky flavor! My wife tried the Yakisoba, and loved all the vegetables. Very solid value for the buck- this is a great place to check out. Glad we made the drive from Woodinville!“

“Great service, delicious, and fun for the whole family! Was super exciting to have Korean Bbq in Kent! Will definitely be going back and highly recommend!“

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“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.“

“Delicious! I could taste quality ingredients and good seasoning, amount was perfect to share with family. Thank you!“

“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.“

“One of my preferred locations for delicious Chinese food. I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good I couldn't stop. Definitely worth a return trip. Prices were average for the menu. Food is like a restaurant in Louisville I loved.“

“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'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!

PS R.I.P. bills off Broadway cap hill missed you“

“Very decent, affordable and quick Asian fast food for the area. The one review talking about their dogs is rather entitled; I was there when it happened, and the lady wasn’t rude at all. Dogs shouldn’t be in restaurants, and as someone allergic to them, I’m glad she stood her ground!“
