“I went to dinner with my family here. It’s absolutely amazing experience. We got the beef feast large size. The meat quality is great. The sides are fresh. Their servers are very nice and friendly. Our family are all very satisfied and will for sure come back again!!“

“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.“

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!“

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

“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!“

“Ahram is hands-down one of the best Korean restaurants I’ve visited in Washington! The authenticity shines through in every dish. The Yangnyeom Gaejang(spicy crab) was phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We also tried the Bossam and meat pancake, and every piece of meat was incredibly tender and juicy. The side dishes were fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented, adding the perfect finishing touch to the meal. Truly a top-notch experience for anyone craving authentic Korean flavors.“

“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.“

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

“It's really fun to have a growing number of Hawaiian plate lunch options popping up locally & Marination Ma Kai in W. Seattle is one of the best, the view of the downtown Seattle skyline notwithstanding. I had the Kim Chee fried rice with Kalbi beef and a spam musabi. The food was perfectly seasoned & prepared with just the right amount of heat. You order at the counter & they alert you when it is ready, which is only a matter of minutes. On a warm weather day there is outside seating where you can eat & take in the view. Will be back soon!“

“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).“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I love to order my lunch here ahead of time and then pick it up. Their sushi is so good and today I decided to try the chicken breast bento box with Korean potato salad. I have a new favorite food! That potato salad is sweet, but it pairs sooo well with their teriyaki sauce!! I will be ordering this again very soon! Thank you Joy Bento! You guys are AMAZING!!!“

“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 for the first time today for lunch after a pretty far walk from work. They are super nice, friendly and chatted with me a bit and explained their different menu options. They suggested the samurai which I got and it is very good to say the least. It’s super vibrant looking and very flavorful. I definitely highly recommend and will be coming back again“

“Really enjoyed this place. The food was fresh, rich in flavor, and beautifully presented — especially when they finished the dish right at the table with the flame, such a cool touch. Portions were generous, everything was hot and delicious. The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming. Definitely coming back again. 🔥🍽️“

“The salmon salad plate was amazing. Clean cozy environment. Felt like I was in Europe again.“

“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.“

“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!!“

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

The cashier was very friendly and recommended items to us. Everything looked good!

I noticed that the prices are extremely fair as well.“

“Great Burgers! Shakes, Onion rings, Teriyaki. Good people ! We been going there for a few decades.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“My favorite pho spot so far. I love that there are vegetables in the soup base in addition to the veggies you can add on your own. Staff is friendly. I would try the steak pho either Korean noodles or glass noodles, both are good. I love extra bean sprouts, jalapeños,and spicy chilli sauce! Expect to pay $15-20 per person“

“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.“

“These mochi donuts were so soft and tasty! I loved the flavors—I got a purple berry donut with fruity pebble sprinkles.“

“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 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“I was looking for a quick bite to eat that wasn't too heavy. I found this place and really enjoyed it. I ordered the Kahlua Pork sliders and they were perfect. The slaw on it was crisp and had a nice tang to it. Will definitely go back when I'm in the area. Be aware that there is limited seats inside at a raised counter, otherwise there's a few tables outside. We lucked out on the weather so sat outside.“

“So good so good so good so good“

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

“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.“

“I had never been to this location before. Staff was so friendly, food was so good! You got to check out the katsu sliders yum! Also dont underestimate the tofu tots and jalapeño sauce. Cant wait to go back and try more food. P.S. bomb happy hour deals“

“If you are looking for the absolute best teriyaki in Capitol Hill, this is it. I’ve tried so many places, but Kyoto hits the spot every single time. The teriyaki is perfect, and their house fried rice is seriously next level—so incredibly good. Super convenient if you live around Broadway/Pine. Cannot recommend this place enough! Love the staff family ❤️🧡❤️“

“My friends and I stopped by Pelicana Chicken recently, and honestly, it was way better than I expected. I had been here before, but it feels like the place has really stepped up under the new management.

We ordered a bunch of items to share, including the Pelicana Fried Chicken, Honey Crispy Chicken, Honey Wings, and the American-Style Grilled Wings. Everything came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The chicken was super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The Honey Crispy Chicken was probably my favorite—it had the perfect balance of sweet and savory.

The vibe is also great. It's a comfortable spot to hang out with friends, grab food after class, watch a game, or just chill for a while. The staff were really friendly and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.

If you're a student looking for a good chicken spot near Seattle, I'd definitely recommend checking this place out. Great food, good atmosphere, and a fun place to hang out with friends.“

“Was hungry and captured a photo after we’d already dug in - but the bento came with a lot of food. Spicy chicken bento box is huge and great for 2 people. The sauces are delicious and the tempura is perfectly crispy. The chicken teriyaki hits the spot.

A must stop spot post-Costco run!“

“Really solid spot! Ordered the beef bulgogi bibimbap and it DID NOT disappoint at all!!! Great portion size, excellent flavor, and it came out quick. Will definitely be adding this to my regular rotation. Water was good btw🫡

Our server Scott is super friendly, shoutout to him!“

“The restaurant is next to the ramen shop so we decided to try it out. Communication was a little difficult, i ask for recommendation and they don’t understand what im asking :(
Food was okay… :/ floor is slippery so please be careful!“
