    Finally got around to trying this new Korean spot! I came in on a Sunday for lunch and was sat immediately. The space is a little small, but feels airy and clean. I ordered the pork soup with rice and side of dumplings. The soup itself was super creamy and rich, but also pretty well seasoned? I think I would've preferred they keep it bland, and I can season it. Especially given that they have salt/pepper/chili at the table. There was a surprising amount of pork in the soup which was nice. It was just super nice and hearty. Dumplings were good as well. A liiiittle pricey per dump though. For the kimchi, I don't prefer fresh kimchi, so was a little sad about that. Overall, a really solid spot. I love places that specialize and only serve a couple things and this place does it pretty well! You bet I'll be back haha

    Surprisingly no line on a Sunday night. Small cozy interior. Glad I got to try this place before it gets too busy! Ordered the pork gukbap, generous amount of meat and was very fresh and clean soup and already well seasoned. Also had some declicious and fresh kimchi. We were also able to try the mandu, which you could tell were definitely homemade! Suyuk was also declicious, and not too gamey, paired well with the sides that were provided. All of food was declicious and my friend who is korean said it was authentic and would come again! Staff were also friendly and nice!

    I've been able to stop by twice since the opening week and both times have hit the spot on rainy days. The staff member has been kind and attentive on both visits. The pork soup with rice was good and hearty on both visits, and I appreciate the freshness of the kimchi side. On my last visit I was able to try the Sikhye and found it really tasty to finish off the meal. I'll be coming back here to see how this place grows since the menu items are still being stocked from what I understand.

    i loveee pork gukbap so was really excited to see a dedicated soup store pop up in seattle!! we visited during opening week for dinner and our server mentioned they had a limited menu since they're still new but will have more items soon (like scallion pancake!) we ordered: - the dumplings: i really liked these!! the filling was meaty and flavorful, skin is chewy but not too thick, and the sauce it comes with is very good - pork soup w rice: generous portions of thick cut boiled pork and thin pork slices. served with fresh garlic, salt/pep, red seasoning paste on the side, so you can season to your liking. the broth was very creamy and clean :) - pork noodle soup: we thought this was going to be the same as the pork soup with rice (except with noodles), but we were wrong! this one came heavily seasoned already, and honestly tasted more rich/oily, similar to tonkotsu ramen. it was still yummy but not quite the same flavor profile as the gukbap if thats what you are craving overall a great, cozy experience and would love to be back!

    Nice meal to warm the soul on a rainy day. I appreciated the jazz playing while I ate. The server was friendly too!

    Pros: super clean, modern take/spin, friendly service, good (4/5 stars) food Cons: very small portioned and overly priced, incredibly loud music (to the point it almost made me lose my appetite-- can't enjoy my food if I can't converse with the company I'm with), no radish kimchi (just serves Napa kimchi). My family and I ordered the regular soup with rice, noodle soup, and 10pc mandu. Noodle soup was not as traditional-- think Japanese pork ramen broth and noodle. The regular soup offered more traditional flavors. Both dishes were small portioned. If we didn't order the mandu, we would have been hungry still... Mandu was good, they def gave home-made taste-- nothing spectacular or next level tho. So here's my thing: When I think of Busan Korean pork soup 되지국밥, I think of generous portioned street style bowl of soup and meat, as well as banchan(s), that I ate in Busan. This restaurant seemed to take on a more "lux" spin on it considering the location/atmosphere, presentation, and pricing. This place is super clean and modern in terms of presentation and flavor. Overall, considering terrible street parking in this location and their price, I wouldn't return unless I'm madly craving pork soup. However, this is a great place to introduce anyone to Korean pork soup and mandu.

    My daughter accidentally became a seafood lover here We…read morestopped here while visiting Seattle, and honestly... this place had our whole family in a chokehold lol. My 10-year-old daughter is usually very suspicious of fish. Like, if it even smells "too ocean-y," she's out. But somehow this place turned her into a seafood enthusiast for the afternoon because she absolutely demolished her cod fish and chips. Not a crumb left behind. We were all staring at her in disbelief I ordered the 16oz clam chowder, which was rich, creamy, and hit the spot perfectly because Seattle weather basically demands chowder. My husband got the salmon fish and chips and let me just say... the salmon absolutely showed up the cod. No offense to the cod, it tried its best lol. Also, can we talk about the fries for a second? I don't know what kind of magical potato situation they have going on back there, but my husband and I could not stop eating them. Crispy, salty, addictive little things. Overall, the food was amazing, we left full and happy, and my daughter discovering she actually likes fish might've been the biggest surprise of the trip. Would definitely come back!

    My friend and I were originally planning to go to the location by Pike Place but it was just too…read morecrowded and then my friend remembered there was another location closer to our hotel so we decided to head there. I even realized I could order before hand so we were able to pick up our order as soon as we got there. This location is on the fourth floor of an otherwise pretty dead mall. It's located next to Din Tai Fung and has seating but there was barely anyone there. They did a great job bagging everything to go including a well wrapped sourdough bread bowl. The clam chowder is definitely some of the best. The bread bowl is okay. I didn't really care for the market chowder which was a smoked salmon chowder. The chowders come with a piece of bread and a bag of oyster crackers.

However I decided to check it out since it's a lot closer to where I live and was craving some sushi. Their selection isn't as big as FOB's but it's still very generous. They have inari, rolls, and nigiri - they do limit the number of "expensive" nigiri you can get though which does kind of suck. I tried a few rolls and a few nigiri. They all tasted really fresh, and I like how they aren't as enormous and one-note tasting as FOB's. Everything tasted unique! This should do the job to satisfy the sushi cravings :)

This is a sushi by the pound place in SLU, but they also have a menu with variety of things such as udon, inari, chirashi, etc. The selection of fish you can choose from in the weigh your sushi section is not that big. They only have 2 high premium fishes available: otoro and amberjack. However you can only get 1 of each, which to me defeats the purpose. I also got a bulgogi inari and it was $5 / piece which is pricey. Another thing is that they use a lot of rice, too much rice. Service is ok, they ring you up and bring the food to you if you ordered through the menu. It's a very relaxing and chill area as well. The food we got was just ok but for the price, it's not worth it. I'm glad I tried but most likely will not be back.

The hojicha latte is strong, also as expected. Get it if you want that caffeine boost and are craving a deep, dark roast. And the miso soup was not what you normally get at other Japanese restaurants; it was exponentially better! I skipped ordering it at first, assuming it would be basic, but the owner gave us free miso, and it was the kindest gesture I could imagine on a cold Seattle afternoon because the miso may be the best not-so-secret dish on the menu. It was hearty and made with love and care, like real home cooking, but at the Melrose Market. So good that I just wrote a whole paragraph dedicated to it. Skip the other shops in the building and come sit at this intimate cafe. You'll be taken care of, inside and out. Sankaku deserves every single one of these five stars .
