50 Best Korean Restaurants near Tukwila

“Everything was good but its expensive. I recently lived in Asia for work, so I'm definitely shocked at the pricing here given its not all you can eat. This is WA though so maybe these prices are normal for kbbq. I'd go again but I hope to find a kbbq that's more affordable with the same good quality.“

“Nice place for lunch for the family today. All the meat items were pretty darn delicious. You cook your meal at your table and share with your group. Service was above average and attentive. Danny was especially helpful getting us set up with our cooking station and answering questions. Did not have drinks but they looked amusing to say the least. Huge goblet with lights in the ice and SoJu can dumped in. I would not recommend the shrimp because it is raw, head and tails intacked and uncleaned. The intestinal tract would have to be removed by you either before or after cooking and it's too much work for mediocre tasting shrimp. It's on the expensive side for going out but hey it was fun.“

“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!“

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

“Tried this place for the first time and was really impressed! The Hae Dop Bap was the highlight of my meal—it was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with high-quality fish. The spice level was just right, adding great flavor without overpowering the dish. Everything came together perfectly, making it a meal I’d happily order again. This is definitely a spot I’m glad I discovered, and I’m already looking forward to trying more from the menu.“

“We stopped at UmmaDak during our weekend trip in Seattle, and loved the skewers! We got one of each (excluding plain) plus some rice cake skewers. Honestly loved them all, but the favorites were the honeydak and ummadak flavors. Chicken was crispy and juicy. Would come back again!“

“Awesome views, decent food, not particularly friendly service. I feel like the food was a bit overhyped — it was tasty, but nothing that special. The spicy pork also tasted pretty bland. The sexy tofu was solid, though. We also waited 15-20 mins in line to order“

“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.“

“A true hidden gem, almost makes me want to gatekeep it.

You can tell the food is made fresh every day. I loved the lunch box, especially all the delicious side dishes that came with it. The kimbap is also unique because it’s made based on whatever fresh ingredients they have that day, which makes every visit a little different.

If you’re looking for fresh, homemade-style Korean food, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

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

“We go there for Jajangmyeon and Jjampong just about weekly. Always great stuff. I've tried Jjampong in several King County restaurants, so far this is my favorite! Their noodles are always top notch, I assume from taste and texture that they make them in-house.

Service is always excellent.

Atmostphere is fast food, but very good for what it is. And two TVs for watching the World Cup :-)“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Good Korean tofu soup spot with friendly staff and quick service. The soup was flavorful, hot, and satisfying, and the portions were a good size. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. Overall, a great place to grab a comforting meal. I’d come back again.“

“If you're looking for a solid AYCE KBBQ spot, this is it. For an all-you-can-eat place, the meat quality exceeded my expectations. Service was incredibly fast—as soon as we turned in our order sheet, the next round of meat arrived. The servers were super friendly and kept the drinks and side dishes coming. It does get busy, but the wait is 100% worth it. Highly recommend!“

“Quaint little eclectic shop serving donuts and Korean food. The yeast donuts are really fluffy and the donuts and donut holes are priced well! The filled donuts are near bursting with filling! They do not skimp! My husband really enjoyed the kolache pig in a blanket and said the pastry part was fluffy like the donut rather than flaky like a croissant.

You know it's a good donut shop when you're only there for a few minutes and the other customers who came, ordered their usual, and then left during that time were both police officers 🤣 I kid you not, it legit happened, and they didn't even come in together-it was separate instances!

Anyway, it was a great donut shop. The donut holes came out fresh while we were there, and they were spectacular! Just as an aside, there's a picture on Google maps of japchae which had me really excited, but they do not serve japchae (I asked). I'm guessing someone uploaded a picture from the wrong place when leaving a review. Just mentioning it, so you don't get your hopes up like I did. 😅“

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

“Bah had a fantastic demeanor when we walked in during lunch rush, I am so glad they were working the first time I ate here. The meat lover bento and extra Poke (had to try a little of every fish) were a fantastic lunch treat! Great prices for the amount of meat you get. I think I have found my new lunch spot“

“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.“

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

“I got the chicken bulgogi, a pretty common Korean dish. Honestly, it would be hard to differentiate it from teriyaki chicken you'd find anywhere across the city. The meat is tender and the sauce is a little sweet and smoky. Tastes like bottled sauce.“

“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!!!“

“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 had the ttuk bulgogi soup, and I can not stress enough just how absolutely delicious this soup was. Also, the lady that runs the restaurant was just a delight. Highly recommend, it's a intimate atmosphere, and very friendly. Highly Highly recommend.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“A real gem near the heart of Georgetown! In addition to the American-Chinese classics like Teriyaki, they have REALLY GREAT Korean food, including a grilled mackerel which was so nice. Prices are great for a high quality meal with big portions. Service can be kind of slow (20-25 minutes from order to getting food) so if you only have a small lunch break, not a great idea, so I had to take off a star.“

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

“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“

“Tonight was my family’s first time at the restaurant. This was the best Korean restaurant experience I’ve had, and that includes some LA Korean bbq. My family had the kalbijjim with cheese on top (melted with a blowtorch table side). We also had the japchae, and the bulgogi.

Colin was an excellent host. Got us in pretty quickly on a very busy Father’s Day. This definitely made my day special. I will totally come back here again.“

“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!“

“Hot, fresh, fast. LGBT friendly! Eat it there or eat it nearby, I feel the dishes might get steamy if you take to go. Aloha tots had tender pork and good flavor, but I wish it had a little more heat, and some fresh veggies would be good to add crunch back into the dish.“

“So good so good so good so good“

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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 ❤️🧡❤️“

“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“

“Great locale. Very unassuming but it’s what makes this place special. It could be a little overwhelming seeing so many options. This review is specific to what I’ve ordered.

Their chicken teriyaki is solid. Portions were ok. Surprisingly got more chicken than rice, but overall well worth $15. Chicken had perfect amount of char and was well cooked (not too dry). I do think they should’ve added more teriyaki sauce to the food though. May have been bc my order was takeout. KEY DETAIL: the sauce on the tables boosts the flavor.

Miso soup was delicious. Very deep and rich flavor; tofu used was a little too soft for the soup (in my opinion), but the soup was well balanced.“

“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.“

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