50 Best Korean Restaurants near Tukwila

“The bibimbap is excellent! Large portion sizes and very tasty. The katsu curry was a bit weaker in terms of flavor, I wished they had included katsu sauce with the dish, or used pork instead of chicken. Using the non-grill menu was much better value, I'd recommend avoiding the grill unless you want the experience. I'd definitely come back here!“

“Pretty solid location for a quick bite at the mall. Tucked into the back near the family rooms in the food court. Don't expect the same caliber as the Federal Way full location, of course, but the portions from what I saw/had were pretty generous for the price.“

“SOMISOMI is a delightful spot for unique treats! We tried the pancake fish, one filled with Nutella and the other with taro. Both were delicious, with the perfect balance of sweetness and a soft, fluffy texture. The Nutella was rich and indulgent, while the taro offered a subtle, creamy flavor. The experience was fun and satisfying, making SOMISOMI a great choice for a quick, tasty dessert. Whether you're a fan of classic or more adventurous flavors, this place has something to satisfy your sweet tooth.“

“Great food selection! The variety is always good, but it would be nice to be able to order a la carte in case you don't want to eat the "all you can eat" amount. Good service, but the combo of soft-spoken servers and loud-ish music made it difficult to hear what they were saying. It would also be nice if they had a menu to scan at the table rather than just up front. I almost feel like the tables could be bigger - once you get all your stuff to cook and your drinks and the burner is going, there's hardly any room to eat or cook without knocking something over or dragging your arm through something.“

“Soy garlic chicken was pretty tasty, well cooked, and good flavor but surprised the “bowl” didn’t come with rice. FYI the side of rice is instant rice… nonetheless the value for the bowl size is great- so much chicken! Could’ve shared a regular size bowl with 2 people.

Two standing tables only- more a grab and go type place. Wish they had more proper seating and fresh rice options included.“

“Love everything about this place from the light-filled, inviting space, to the friendly staff, to the incredibly delicious and nourishing food they serve. This restaurant is a gem.“

“Sharming, great prices & delicious food!“

“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 restaurant servers were kind and they were fast. Always helpful by guiding us how to best experience Korean BBQ“

“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.“

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

“Nice small space with great Korean hybrid food. 5 stars here for the salad medley and fermented pickles.“

“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!“

“Small cozy restaurant with limited seating. Friendly staff, good food. The beef and spicy pork were both on the sweeter side, but the soft tofu soup was spicy and flavorful. With such slim pickings for Korean food on the West side, I would definitely come back here.“

“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!!“

“Love the Chicken Karaage Don with citrus shoyu instead of spicy aioli here! Great egg-free/fish-free option :)

The folks working here are super friendly too! Thanks for all the wonderful lunches.

Also looking forward to S sized sweater if those ever come in stock.

Dietary restrictions: Egg-free & Fish-free“

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

“Very good and filling bento lunch from a cute yet modern hole-in-the-wall type place. Not to mention the price is very reasonable for downtown Seattle so you get your money’s worth! I’d recommend ordering ahead as it gets busy during lunch. Also they’re not messing around when it comes to their spicy katsu.“

“The food was excellent and the portions are generous. I had the spicy chicken and was very pleased. I only wished that they had recommended bowls you could order if you don’t feel like building your own. But all in all, the service was wonderful and I can’t wait to go back.“

“I was hyping up korean fried chicken for a friend and took him here, needless to say it did not disappoint either of us. Bone in or bone out the chicken was perfectly crisp and light. I noticed all of my korean favorites are on the menu so needless to say I'm definitely coming back!“

“I really love this place. I saw the low reviews on Yelp and was skeptical but still wanted to try. I’m glad I did! The low reviews were for the customer service, but it was clearly really good: they were friendly and polite. They even helped me package my leftovers into to-go boxes when they saw me struggling. Now the food: absolutely delicious. It tastes authentic and comforting. Spicy is actually spicy. The Bangchan is so good; dare I say it’s probably the thing I’ll come back for, if not for the tofu stew! Kimchi is superb, but the star of the show is the cucumber kimchi (it’s sweet, sour, crunchy, and spicy!). Plus, it’s unlimited; all you have to do is ask. I got the mushroom tofu stew, which came with stone pot rice. It is a steal for $18, as the portion size is big. It might not look like it, but I was eating my meal for a good 30 minutes. At the end of it, I was absolutely stuffed. Highly recommend, too bad I live in Houston ?

Vegetarian options: There’s option(s) for vegetarians, and you can always ask the staff to switch or take out meat for you.“

“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 semi naive to what was on the menu. Nothing stands out. You order at the counter. Understand that the dishes are larger to feed 2-3 people and their are no sides. Meaning if you like rice with your Asian cuisine it will be extra. Not realizing the size of the dishes I ordered 5 things and 2 sodas and a beer and 2 sides of rice which are small 1 person small and I spent with tip close to 140$+
It is in a strip mall so this is not meant to be fancy. Think small cafeteria style. Of the dishes the on that stood out for me was the chili shrimp. Otherwise pretty generic stuff. Beef had a diffrent texture to it that didn't suit me well. But if your into Asian cuisine make your own opinion. I more then likely won't go back. Quality of food for the money not a win for me.“

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

“Korean fried rice is delicious?
The tacos are fresh and made fresh, which is really a blessing, as is the salad. It is recommended to share the portions so that you can eat everything.
Paired with the night view of the port, it’s really a masterpiece!
From afternoon to evening, you can see the sunset, paired with delicious food, it is really satisfying and happy?

Parking: There is a parking space in front of the door, and you can also park on the street.“

“Wow, I was completely captivated. The best part was that the server grilled the meat directly for us with expert care right at our table. He served each portion directly onto individual plates, taking care of everything for us. The variety of vegetables and side dishes made the meat even more delicious. Although it is a bit pricey, it’s worth visiting if you don’t mind the cost. For our family of three, the total came to around USD 430, including tip and tax.“

“This is the best teriyaki restaurant in Seattle. The food is always great and the employees are very friendly and kind. I enjoyed the spicy chicken teriyaki. Hot sauce tastes so good!!! My friend loved the shrimp fried rice so much. Everything was great. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“The place is very unassuming from the outside, and you could easily walk by this small establishment without noticing it. And it's a bit out of the way for tourists. But it's worth tracking down.

Got the Radical Bowl and it was great. Not only were the ingredients fresh and tasty, but the order was prepared so quickly, I barely had time to pay before the food was ready. The portion was generous and perfect; unless you have a very large appetite, you'll be satisfied.

The space is small, so dining in may be a challenge, especially if there are already customers and/or you come in a group. And I can imagine it being a lot busier during the work week. But the food is worth it.“

“Great place to get Korean food. They have a large selection of green food on their menu, such as Korean, fried chicken, tofu, soup, Bulgogi, and much more. My second time at stone but first time at this location. The soup like most places are lacking a bit of flavor. Good service.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best wings in Seattle, hands down! We stopped at Golden Rooster on our way to the Seahawks game, and it was a game-changer. Walking in, the vibe was electric and welcoming, setting the tone for what would be an incredible meal. We were lucky enough to get a taste of the Korean BBQ wings (I think it was the owner who brought them over as samples!), and wow – they were beyond tasty. Those flavors sealed the deal, and we immediately ordered 30 wings, plus their sweet potato fries and some chicken strips. Everything was top-notch!

The wings were crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor, and the sweet potato fries were the perfect side. This place is a must-stop spot in Seattle, and it's officially our go-to before every Hawks game. Highly recommend Golden Rooster for anyone looking to kick off their night with amazing food and a killer atmosphere!“

“The girl at work tonight was awesome!!!! Compared to other Korean restaurants, the service was fast and courteous. Even though the evening rush was huge, they updated us on the situation and brought us water while handling other orders. I tried Korean-style American fried chicken for the first time in the U.S. It's similar to the Korean-style batter, and the soy garlic flavor is much better than the one I had in Korea. thank you! Thanks for the great staff. I will be back soon and will recommend it to my Korean friends!“

“?: 10/10. We ordered so many food that I am too tired to lost them out here! But they are all Incredibly Delicious and Amazing! I can't say enough but my favorite is the rose tteobokki, and the fried chicken! We also got the Korean fried rice and seafood pancake! Best I have ever had! PERIOD! I also got the honey almond butter makoli ! OMG best alcohol I have ever had in 2024!
??‍?: 10/10: SHOUT OUT TO SUMIN! THE BEST OF THE BEST! she is very sweet, kind and very attentive! Queen slay!! WE LOVE HER SO MUCH!
?: 8/10: The decors are very cute and makes me feel like I am in Korea! I really enjoyed the dim light and it was very cozy and feels like Korea! Very easy to find parking and low key this place is a hidden gem! Very clean and I can tell they put effort into this restaurant!“

“This is a great stop anytime, but I hit up dinner for this trip. The staff is very helpful and full of knowledge and suggestions. The food was fresh, the place was clean and super great staff.

Parking: It's Seattle so...

Wheelchair accessibility: This is not a problem“

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

“Service was great! Loved the bahn mis and spring rolls! Yum! Chicken was delicious too! Very crispy! I can’t handle really spicy so I get the kalbi sauce. Goes great with soju and beer!“

“My favorite place to eat in renton and we go here twice a week! The owner and his son have amazing customer service, I love the atmosphere, music and food. I always order the veggie pho, crab rangoons and fresh rolls. Not pictured is the Thai iced tea I had. So yummy!“

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

“Very tasty and cute place!! Staff was kind, prices were good, and the menu had lots of options! I got the special Sparkling drinks with lychee and tried several corndogs- everything had good flavor and the corndogs came with several sauce options!“

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

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

“I have been waiting a long time for a Korean restaurant in Kent. The food is good I recommend the Bibimbop or the Stir fried Squid. They serve family style with all the little side dishes, a little Americanized on the flavors so if you want spicy be sure to tell them.“

“As a native Texan and Seattle transplant, I sorely miss kolaches. Once a staple item of weekend breakfasts, they are hard to come by here. So you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was to stumble into Dona Queen and see their hot and fresh kolaches! No frills, just hot and fresh sausage kolaches (plain and jalapeño options). Also enjoyed the donuts (I got the donut holes and blueberry cake donut), and the service was fast and friendly. I will definitely be back!“

“I found this place thanks to the reviews on Google. We were immediately greeted as we entered and were seated promptly without any wait. Our waitress was so funny and she had a great attitude, which made the experience even better. We each order the AYCE and we're not disappointed. I think the short ribs were the best. We tried beef brisket, tongue, ribeye, squid, pork, etc. Everything we had was good. I'll definitely be back!“

“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 food is fantastic. I’ve eaten here dozens of times and I’ve never been disappointed.“

“So good so good so good so good“

“I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while passing by. It offers a typical teriyaki menu, along with Korean dishes, some Japanese options (like sushi and tempura), and even jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles). The area is an industrial zone, so workers from nearby factories frequently drop in. Perhaps because of this, the restaurant opens early at 10 AM and closes early (3PM) as well.

It seemed like the owners, a husband and wife, were the only ones working (I couldn't see the kitchen). The owner’s wife took orders and served in the dining area. I arrived around 10:40 AM, a bit early for lunch, but there were already two tables with customers, and more people started coming in shortly after.

I ordered four dishes, including Korean and teriyaki options. Typically, teriyaki places don’t serve Korean side dishes (banchan), but since I ordered Korean food, they brought out banchan. The owner’s wife apologized for the limited variety of side dishes and generously brought out extra.

As I tasted the side dishes, they had a comforting, homemade quality, like a warm meal prepared at home. The flavors were neither too salty nor too bland, with a clean taste that didn’t rely on artificial seasonings. The dishes—spicy pork bulgogi, seafood soft tofu stew, stone pot bibimbap, and Mongolian beef—reminded me of my mom's cooking, which I loved. While the food didn’t have the commercialized taste of popular chain restaurants, it felt like it was made with care and attention, just like a meal prepared at home.

This restaurant pleasantly exceeded my expectations.

- Service: Following the typical teriyaki joint setup, you place and pay for your order at the counter before taking a seat. The staff then brings your meal to your table. A nice touch is the complimentary bottled water that accompanies your meal.

- Price: Considering the generous portions and delightful taste, the pricing is quite reasonable. While I haven't compared it to other eateries in the vicinity, the value for money here stands out.

- Food: The dishes shine with a home-cooked quality, free from overpowering artificial flavors. Each bite feels wholesome, capturing the essence of genuine, heartfelt cooking.

- Ambiance: The setting is straightforward and functional, characteristic of fast-food-style teriyaki spots. It's not fancy, but it serves its purpose well.

- Parking: There's ample parking available, though spaces can fill up quickly. Nevertheless, finding a spot wasn't an issue, and it's free of charge.

In summary, this restaurant offers a delightful blend of authentic flavors and efficient service, making it a noteworthy spot for anyone craving quality teriyaki and more.“

“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.“

“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!“

“This place has a solid Hawaiian menu with lots of the classic dishes you'd look for. It's very spacious inside (bar and table seating), has TVs, and a good-sized patio out back. The fish tacos I ordered were okay. They had a tasty crema, but could have used more of it; the fish portion was a little small, too, so most bites were kind of unexciting. I also had the kale salad. It had a tasty dressing and that crunchy macadamia topping added to it. I'd happily eat it again. This place isn't bad at all, but I was a tiny bit underwhelmed after having them on my radar for a while.“
