Chicken Wings • $
“I got the chicken katsu. It was crispy and the oil was really clean! They also gave me a ton of rice and salad. if you’re wondering from the picture, I got no dressing and turned the chicken over a little bit but otherwise that’s what you’ll get if you order here. I brought my own garlic sauce from teriyaki bistro in issaquah which may be tacky but it took the meal from a 10/10 to a 13/10 ?“
“We went on Saturday around 4PM and we waited for about 20 mins until we got seated (we put ourselves on the waitlist on the iPad by their door). I love the parking situation here- there is a garage with plenty of parking! This is the best AYCE kbbq spot in the Seattle area! It's $45 pp but the quality of meat is INSANE. I normally don't like to go to AYCE places because since it's unlimited, the quality of meat usually lacks. But this place is different!! I love the variety of options here as well as seafood options. Staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs and they change the grill multiple times so your meat doesn't burn. The ambience is also great; very modern and lively with kpop music playing in the background. 10/10 recommend and I'm already planning my next visit“
“Really love the set up at this place! Could use a bit more topping selection but overall the food here was great for Korean Fast food. The guy up front loaded my bowls with meat(I got the bulgogi beef) which really made my husband happy. Definitely will come here again!“
“Best fried chicken in Kirkland! I came here several times, the food is tasty and price is reasonable, I prefer the boneless chicken over the bone-in chicken, and I would suggest to finish the food in one meal, because the food taste may become strange if you leave it to the second meal.“
“Unique restaurant with experimental menu. Had the mackarel as entree and bone marrow as appetizer. Both dishes were very different takes on those ingredients and were very tasty. The decor and ambienece was classy yet relaxing. And the staff were courteous and helpful. Overall, great find!“
“Top notch food with respect to both quality and taste. Very good selection of meats. Service could be a little better but they were doing well considering the number of guests, I read some of the negative comments before coming here to get my own feeling about this restaurant and think most of them were ridiculous. If you want cheap beef go to a burger place“
“Our go to for lunch date with my husband! I generally go for their house chicken and my husband goes for their crispy chicken. All the staff there are so friendly and welcoming!! I love their smiles :) They suggested that I go with the pico on the side and mix it with rice plus their cilantro sauce. Life has never been the same after that. It's a definite must if you try! Absolutely delicious!!!“
“I have been dying to come here and let me tell you the entire place does not disappoint!! The food was sooooooo tasty and look so good at the same time. The portion size is super generous. The inside of the this place is absolutely adorable. And the workers are super gentle. I had such a good time here. This is going to be on my " must come back " list“
“Everyday for weeks, my good friend and roommate, Sydney, would not stop talking about wanting a Korean Rice Dog. It got to the point that if she mentioned Korean Rice Dogs one more time, I thought I might combust on the spot. Therefore, one fateful day, we headed to the only spot in Seattle that would properly fulfill her dream of tasting a Rice Dog—Chung Chun in the International District.Chung Chun is inside a Mochi Donut shop. It’s a small place and occasionally it has a line outside. The inside wasn’t the cleanest, but it’s fine because it’s practically a walk-up window. There is a small counter for eating, but there is only room for 6-8 people. The pricing was affordable.I firmly believe that Chung Chun is the best rice dog restaurant in Seattle. They fry them fresh, have at least 8 different options, and a wall of sauces to choose from. This is an authentic experience, and isn’t touristy. You can get sugar on your rice dog, which seems more American than Korean, but I’m sure it’s customary.We all ordered the potato rice dog and they were excellent. Piping hot, just the way mother used to make it. The crunch brought tears to Sydney’s eyes. We all were overjoyed seeing her dreams come true. She described the experience at Chung Chun as heavenly.I would not eat here often, as my cholesterol would shoot through the roof, but if you’re in the mood for rice dog, this is the place to come! The service was very friendly, and the girl who served us seemed like she genuinely loved working at Chung Chun. She probably knew that she was granting Sydney’s ultimate wish though, and who wouldn’t smile about that!Kid-friendliness: Kids will like this food.“
“Amazingly delicious and authentic flavour. We ate every bite. I suggest you each order your own meal and then share off your plate. That way you try a lot of options at once. Kimbap was delicious. Japchee noodles are my favourite. Owner Sara is also amazing and motivated to please.“
“If I worked in the area, I'd come all the time! Generous portions, quality food, great value, friendly and efficient staff. My beef bibimbap was full of meat and veggies; my California roll had an extra slice of fresh avocado on top. Can't wait to try their other bowls in the future. Owner was super friendly and gave my toddler a fun drink. Such a great experience here, thank you!“
“The slogan of this restaurant is "the best teriyaki in town" and it is SO TRUE. I've tried a lot of teriyaki in the south end, Georgetown and West Seattle and this place stands out for its high-quality taste and freshness, as well as cleanliness of the facility and the kindness of the staff. This is literally the only place I want teriyaki from in Seattle. A+!!!!!“
“I thought a lot about whether to go or not because it was too far away, but it was so delicious, the service was the best, the pig trotters didn't have any smell, and the Korean pig trotters themselves were super soft, and the portion size was larger than I expected, enough for 2 people. I drove for almost an hour and I don't regret it. Next time, I'll go back to eat bossam^^“
“Literally the best chicken I've ever had. My pick up experience was a little disappointing only because I requested sauce and was told it was in the bag (which, it wasn't) stared at, and then asked what I want. I requested honey mustard and sweet and sour, and was given 2 very small containers - one of each. This was for 2 meals, both with 5 pieces of chicken, 2 egg rolls, and 3 mandu. Love love love this place, but hope it's easier to get sauces next time without an eye roll and then not even enough for the food I ordered.“
“This is one of my favorite comfort meals in Seattle. I frequent this place at least once every 2 weeks and I’m never disappointed. I always get the Ham+Sausage Soondubu, which comes with a bunch of sides. The sides themselves are very worth it, and you can keep asking for more if you run out, my favorites are the fish cakes and potatoes. The soup is hearty, filled with umami, and hot off the press (perfect for a rainy day). I usually go with friends, and we share an entree. I highly highly recommend the Korean Braised Beef Short Ribs. I used to think the Soondubu was my favorite dish here until I tried the short ribs. They fall off the bone and sit in an amazingly flavorful broth. Each bite bursts with the flavor of the broth as the meat melts in your mouth. You also get a free dessert drink at the end which is sweet and tart. I would highly recommend trying any of the Soondubu + the Korean Braised Beef Short Ribs.“
“Really like the soy garlic chicken half mix! Pork bulgogi is on point thank you for offering pork! You do show crinkle fries tho and we just received regular fries. Very nice staff and pretty inside although we have only done take out (several times). We will be back.“
“The menu has a wide variety of their specialty corn dogs. This is a unique dining experience. Not your average county fair corn dog. I had the half and half with a ramen coating. It was part hot dog and part mozzerella. The ramen coating was crunchy and delicious. It was great to see the place crowded on a Saturday night. The place is geared to take out. The service was fast and friendly. If your looking for something different, this is a great place to try.“
“We went for the first time and the owner was so kind and helpful. The KFC is superb and incredibly crunchy even after taking the leftovers home. The two dips we got on the side were house sauce and soy garlic. Both were great flavor contrasts. The pickled daikon really helped cut the fat. The decorations were very modern. I appreciated the decoration. It was nice icing on the cake but the food and the owners genuinity are what really makes this place a top notch restaurant. She should be super proud of what she's done.“
“Ordered this on Uber Eats to have a quick bite at my hotel while in town. I was a little worried on how this would travel but was pleasantly surprised that it came hot and secure. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) bowl with sweet garlic chicken and added an over easy egg and a side of Napa kimchi (not my favorite). The chicken was super tasty but wish there was a little bit more in the bowl. It also came with spicy pickles (amazing!) and a creamy sesame sauce (YUM), which went perfectly.“
“This place is an absolute GEM! Everything was delicious and tasted better than Umma’s cooking! Sorry Umma! I hope she does see this. lol! Reasonable prices and so so delicious! Highly recommend!Take out side dishes, lots of soups, kimchis, main dishes etc. You won’t be disappointed!“
“This is my boyfriend and I's new favorite Korean spot (and honestly a favorite restaurant in general) in Seattle! It's located in a really quiet and nice area of Madison Park. It's close enough to the water that you can walk a few blocks to digest after dinner, then hit a bar. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, we've never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be sat at a table, even on a weekend night. The service is so sweet, attentive, and friendly. My boyfriend and I always order the tteokbokki (and add cheese) as an appetizer. The sauce isn't as thick as most tteokbokki dishes, but I actually prefer it the way Hanok does it . . . and the sauce is soooo good I wanna lick the plate. We also split an order of corn cheese which comes in this little sizzling cast iron skillet so the edges of the cheese get a little crispy, it's so good. I always get the spicy pork belly and dip it in the corn cheese. The meat entrees come with a little bowl of purple rice, miso soup, and a salad. At first I was bummed that there is no banchan, but honestly everything's so filling that I don't think I'd be able to stomach more side dishes anyway. My boyfriend always gets the sundubu which comes in a huge bowl and he always struggles to finish it. If you want to add a drink to your dinner, try the plum sake. We just discovered this place like last week and have already been here 3 times, it's so good. We're struggling to control our Hanok urges lol so it's a good thing it's a bit of a drive from our house or I'd go bankrupt. And honestly the prices are pretty reasonable for the amount of food and quality you get (for west coast standards). Definitely put this on your must try list, it's a gem!“
“This is our favorite place for mochi donuts! All the flavors are delicious every time we went. Better than Mochinut and Dochi!! The donuts are even good the next day which was not the case for the other two places I mentioned. Service is always super friendly. We go there regularly. Highly recommend!!“
“When you walk in, you go up to the computer and order your ice cream(s). The milk ice cream with ube filling is DELICIOUS!For an ice cream shop though, I wouldn’t say it’s kid friendly. There’s no seating available and the one long table available is way too high for kids to set their ice cream down on.Staff was very friendly. Plenty of parking available.“
“If you’re looking for a simple, homemade, to-the-point, humble spot for seolleongtang, this place fits exactly that! The broth was clean, the meat was tender, and the kimchi and dumplings were deliciously homemade. Simplicity at its best!“
“I'm not comprehensively knowledgeable in Korean cuisine. Therefore, a review from me is not fair necessarily. I can say the quality is good. I enjoy the food as I do return. I'm open to learning more about this cuisine. I say go. ?? Also, it's really warm in there... layer and peel.Parking: Sometimes tight, but ok.“
“I got the Beef Bulgogi K-Bowl and it was so yummy and filling. It was such a large and generous serving, and I had to take the rest it home. Their side dishes were also really yummy. I like the atmosphere in the restaurant, too—it was bright and spacious. They played fun music, but it wasn’t too loud. Service was fast and friendly. I’ll definitely come back! They even gave us free drinks of mango and taro milk!“
“Sushi chef made polite conversation and the servers checked in on me often in a friendly polite manner.At first I hesitated to get the rice with my chirashi bowl. But so glad I did, it was just as delicious as all of the raw plump fishes. Sooo yummy and delicious.“
“The chicken teriyaki and the short rib teriyaki were as good as anywhere I've tried before. It's pretty affordable at around $10 for a "half" size, which is good for a respectably hearty snack before or after hitting the bars. I will definitely be back.“
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! This restaurant is easy to walk by if you are in the downtown area, and they currently don’t have a dining in option but don’t let that stop you; they serve amazingly fresh and delicious sushi. We ordered the California roll, Philly roll, spicy tuna roll, and OMG roll. All of these were delicious. We went back the next day to have all of the same sushi again for dinner. Highly recommend. All of it is a good price and the sushi is definitely a high quality.“
“Honestly, very good bulgogi at a simple, fast-executed take-out style kitchen.If you’re looking for a good meal tasting and you’re in a rush and on a budget. This place might be for you.Their rice, noodle and bulgogi combo is really good! And don’t sleep on the extra meat!Surprisingly good food for it being neighbored to a gas station!“
“I only get donuts for my employees here but the owner super sweet and helpful you must get there right when they open if wanting a large order These truly are the best donuts I’ve had in Seattle and they are nice and warm only place I purchase donuts and I no longer work near this location but I will go out of my way whenever I want to buy for the entire office I usually buy 4 boxes never disappoints he always throws in a little free donut holes and one for the road for me I appreciate the variety as well and I am not a donut eater anymore will visit soon for my employees they love them“
“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.“
“Various cuts of meat were all good, but not quite the quality I expected at their price point. I realize one doesn't go to a K-bbq for the banchan (side dishes), but also found their lack of variety and bland flavor somewhat disappointing.“
“A great place to stop by and pick up lunch during a tight work break! As someone who works in downtown Seattle, I'm always on the hunt for a new lunch spot and was happy to hear there was a new offering for donburi in the central business district. There's a great selection of different kinds of bentos/donburis to suit different palettes with cooked and raw options. I take the karai bento as a go to option which has generous amounts of sashimi paired with some poke, pickles and seaweed salad. Definitely not a traditional bento or don by any means but it doesn't detract from the fact that it is tasty and reasonably priced. Service is quick so don't be discouraged by the long lines! It definitely gets packed during the lunch rush. Seating is limited to nonexistent so be prepared to takeaway to eat somewhere else!“
“Thank you to the person who wrote a review on short rib bone soup! It’s very Very VERY delicious and flavorful. I like that the soup come with a little bit glass noodle too. The ban Chan is as good as usual! Feel satisfied after a hot meal. ??service is friendly too.“
“It's felt like "Korean Chipotle" vibe. More like American Korean with sauces and spice. I loved the purple rice! I highly recommend to go with purple rice rather than white. it gave more texture and flavor to bowl. The bulgogi beef was nice and was in good quantity. You can customize the topping and sauces as needed. I would have definitely enjoyed it more if the chili sauce or heat wave sauce would be more spicer. This would definitely be my Korean Chipotle moving forward.“
“Fast and delicious Korean bites.Clean process along with various selections is highly recommended!!Tasty and want to visit again if I could travel this city once again.Parking: We ought to park near this building and pay for An Hour (that minimum starts) even for pickup which takes a quarter?“
“Very good modern spin on Korean food. Meat and fish preparations were expertly crafted. Sampled a large swath of the menu and enjoyed everything.One disappointing thing was dessert, but server kindly took that off the tab.Vegetarian options: Slim pickings. Roasted Brussels sprouts and potato small bites were excellent but not sure if they had meat components like bacon.Parking: There is a paid parking lot right across the street but spendy. Also close to a theater, so if there is a show in town, options dwindle and prices go up.Kid-friendliness: Well behaved kids should not be a problem.“

“If you want some serious food coma then order from the all you can eat menu. It starts at $35 per person.My boyfriend discovered this place and kept raving about it to me. After returning to the country he took me here and I was not disappointed. Living in Seattle is expensive and finding a gem that gives you a good bang for your buck is hard. I’ll definitely be recommending this place to all of my friends. Our server was so lovely. She remembered my boyfriend and his son, but also recognized that I might be the girlfriend he was talking about that was away on vacation. She was a pleasure to talk to and her service was much appreciated. A huge thanks to whoever was in the kitchen too. Everything was prepared very well and presented nicely.“
“Permanently closed as of March 29th. This place will be greatly missed. My gf and I loved their salmon teriyaki the most along with everything else. It was the only place we felt provided high quality entrees at absolutely every level and was always amazing. Thank you Han and Soo.“
“Good Lord I don’t know what’s up with these bad reviews because the Teriyaki was excellent!!! Don’t order Chinese Food at a Teriyaki place - Period. It’s as simple as that. But for simple Seattle Style Teriyaki you really can’t beat the price for flame grilled chicken. I didn’t try anything else but Chicken teriyaki and gyoza. ? (I don’t think “Spicy” teriyaki justifies the $5 up charge. And the rice seemed a little on the dry side which is the only reasons I didn’t give it 5 stars. It’s a chicken teriyaki place. Order chicken teriyaki and you’ll be happy. Also look on their website for coupons!!! Saved 20%“
“I have eaten at the Bellevue location as well as here and both are very good. My husband and I miss korean fried chicken from Korea and this place curves the craving. Nice and crispy and seasoned well. The kimchi fries were good too! The bulgogi bowl was yummy and I liked how you could have it with japchae noodles instead of rice :)“
“Honestly I am scared to share this place with anyone. It's great value and delicious. There's a huge variety of things to try, so much that I have my next 3 orders already nailed down. They have Chinese American, teriyaki, and Korean food! The owner was so sweet and friendly as well. Just a great time overall. Katsu rating was a 8.5/10 pretty darn good, crispy, not dry and well seasoned!“
“My girlfriend and I happened upon this unassuming little fusion spot while in the city for a concert, and we were blown away by the quality of the food and service! The fried chicken bowl was juicy and tender, the pork katsu sandwich was sweet and savory. We both wish Bugis was back home in Vancouver, we'd be eating here a few times a week! Do yourself a favor and check it out!“
“My buddy and I showed up near closing time, at first they were hesitant in serving us for dine-in but after telling them we would eat super fast they took a chance on us. Food was brought out fast, the food itself was still really good (quality not sacrificed for speed), and they were nice the whole time. I could tell they have a good sense of humor as I cracked a few jokes and thats what I like to see. We definitely plan to come back again.“
“We were heading to Pike Place for an improv show at Unexpected Products and had limited time to eat. We found this place for take-out and decided to give it a chance.First, parking in this area of Georgetown is a nightmare. But we somehow found a spot very close by.Second, we weren't sure where we were going to eat once we got said take-out. But they do have limited seating inside, AND we got a table!Third, we were super short on time and thought we might not get our food with enough time to eat because we saw all the tickets ahead of us. But, as luck was on our side, we got our food quickly! And it was absolutely delicious! Lots of vegan and non- vegan options. SO GOOD!“
“Fantastic food, great service, and a totally fair price. They're known to hook it up too!Normally I don't blow up my spots but this place deserves to be way more popular than it is. Had nearly everything on the menu and it all slaps!Wouldn't know what to do with myself if we lost Seoul Bowl, we gotta support all we can. They do DoorDash too!“
“hands down best galbitang in the region! korean food in seattle is awful. but this place really does it well. so good im willing to drive to and from seattle during rush hour to get it. i usually get a haircut next door and order galbitang every few weeks as well as get my korean snacks at the market.“
“I ordered the yangyeom and buldak chicken, and their chicken is so soft and juicy. Very good quality and the sauce is on point. My favorite was the buldak without the bone in, but the bone in is fantastic, too. I would definitely return again and highly recommend!“
