Ella was amazing! We had a big party and she made the whole dinner seamless. Food was delicious as well. Thank you again!

Outstanding taste rooted in Asian flavors, and modernized. Excellent choice to celebrate an anniversary or special occasion. We were greeted warmly by our host, Steven, and seated earlier than our reservation. He and his colleagues was attentive and hospitable through the meal. The steak tartare was excellent with the sweetness of Asian pear paired with the earthiness of beef. The black cod sauce was addicting and balanced between sweet and savory, and the cod was flaky. The hanger steak ssam was blended at the table and had great richness and body with the beef. The sharpness from the cod sauce helped even out the buttery rice. The ginger crème brûlée was unique. The crème delivered the ginger in a bold, but not overpowering way. The caramel sauce and ice cream cooperated with all the flavor. Not too sweet It has been a long time since experiencing an "elevated" Asian meal as corny as it sounds. If you're into internet memes, then the charge is having a succulent Korean meal. Possible improvements: standard size plates instead of tapas style small plates (though I understand heir intent was for family style sharing). Additional table linen or plates to place your utensils because a small plate can't hold a fork, spoon, and chopsticks while you take portions from the main dishes. Conjoined to the paramount hotel, not sure what the parking situation is like since we arrived via light rail. Definitely would recommend if you're in the area. read more

I ordered the chicken wings, brussel sprouts, beef brisket spicy rice cakes, and the pork jowls. All of them came out really quick and were great. The sprouts came near the end of the meal, which was surprising so I hope that was just a one off situation. The service was extremely attentive and asked how was the food, double checked if everything was alright. The place was starting to get packed for dinner service so it was understandable if they got sidetracked. The ambiance is really nice as it would be great for a nice small dinner or a date night. It is going to be hard to hear the other person since the place is small, I couldn't hear the person across from me. I highly recommend this place! read more

I've been going here since they were located in the Market - it has been one of my favorite spots in town - and it pains me to right this review. Went there on Friday for birthday dinner before the John Mulaney show at the Paramount. It was busy but not crazy - typical event night crowd - and the service was absolutely terrible. It took 30 mins to get a wine and beer order...insanity. Three dishes were served/eaten before we received drinks. Every table was complaining. And the worst part was that they didn't seem to understand the urgency of the situation or that they had messed up. I kept being told "we have a lot of drink orders in" and I was just like, yeah, you gotta plan for that and handle the situation when it happens. Don't sit me if it's goingto take 30 mins for a beer. And when our drinks finally came, the guys literally opens the can of beer and pours it in my cup and tries to chat...wtf!?!? I've been waiting 30 mins...the servers were clueless. Real shame this place is being poorly run - I love the food/atmosphere (that's why i wanted to go for my bday!) but I can't go to restaurants that don't serves drinks promptly. And even worse that it was on my bday. read more

I went during Seattle Restaurant Week. I got the bone marrow, pork jowl, and basque cheesecake which was $50 pre-tax during SRW. On the regular menu, if you get all of those individually, it adds up $10-15 more so it's a great value and time to try during SRW. In terms of food quality, the bone marrow was way too oily and the sourdough it came with was quite hard. The pork jowl and basque cheesecake were tasty and great though. I also got to try my friend's short ribs which was delicious! It was tender and the pumpkin with the cashew was a good combo. The service was pretty good. They served the main dish pretty soon after the appetizer. The back of the restaurant is pretty loud, so my friend and I asked to move to a quieter space in the middle soon after they sat us in the back. Recommend doing a reservation like we did. read more

Came here for happy hour with a friend. Great tastes, great flavors, and of course it has that Asian flair. Beef sliders were tasty and the chicken wings had that nice sticky gochujang glaze. Cocktails were sweet and delicious read more

We stopped by Chan right before a show at the Paramount and were able to snag a table without a reservation since my husband and I arrived fairly early. Service was good throughout the meal, and we enjoyed trying a variety of dishes. The K-fried chicken wings came with a chili caramel glaze, peanuts, scallions, and pickled radish. They were flavorful, though the portion felt a bit small for the price. The beef cheek ragù rice cakes were my favorite dish of the night. Rich, comforting, and well prepared, though they could have used a touch more salt to really make the flavors pop. We also ordered the sot bap with grilled black angus hanger steak, cured egg yolk, scallions, crispy shallots, sesame oil, and butter, which was hearty and satisfying. One thing to note: accessing the restroom is a bit of a process. You'll need to ask a staff member for a keycard, take the elevator up one level using the card for access, and then use the keycard again to enter the restroom. Lastly, for anyone with Resy dining credits through their credit card, Chan uses Resy. We were pleasantly surprised to see a statement credit post after our meal, which was a nice bonus. read more

Great experience at this restaurant, service was excellent, easy reservations thru Resy and very close to the Paramount theater. We had their brussel sprouts and the appetizer is fantastic, there is a yummy sauce at the bottom so dig deep in the bowl. We also had the two person Sot Bap with steak and the fresh flavors were great. They also bring some mix-ins like kimchi, gochujang sauce, seaweed and something else that was yummy and crunchy. We didn't try this cocktails, but they had some very creative choices. We can recommend the creme brulee for dessert. It's definitely going to be a favorite spot for theater evenings. read more

I'd actually give this place a 4.5 if I could--mainly because the desserts weren't spectacular and the restaurant felt a bit chilly--but otherwise we loved everything from start to finish. The cocktails were delicious. All the small plates were great, especially the Brussels sprouts and beef sliders. The cauliflower dish was also unique, flavorful, and delicious. Our table also enjoyed the beef brisket spicy rice cakes--tangy, sweet, and spicy. I personally would've preferred them a little less sweet, but they were still very good. The standout dish was definitely the grilled steak Sot Bop , which comes out in a cast-iron pot and serves two or more. And the best part: it's right across from the Paramount Theatre, with plenty of space, making it a perfect spot for dinner before a show. read more

This place used to be great, and food is fine, but service has been consistently poor for months now. The restaurant is understaffed and, while service is always friendly, servers are not able to keep up. I'm really disappointed in Chan ownership. read more

Visited for Seattle Restaurant Week and can't say I came out very impressed. For a higher-end modern Korean restaurant, they failed to deliver. Our waitress, Anna, was very sweet though! They cook their duck very well but the food was overwhelmingly bland and the dessert took an hour to come out. I'm disappointed after having a long-time interest in visiting. Maybe they're usually better outside of SRW, but I'm discouraged from spending the money to visit again. read more

Not bad. Chan is located inside the hotel. I made reservations ahead of time and noticed the restaurant wasn't too packed. I got seated by the high tops by the kitchen counter. I got to observe the cooks working. I already knew what I wanted to order. I got the beef brisket spicy rice cakes $18 -- this was the main reason why I decided to eat here because the pics online looked too appealing. Khrystyna was a great server. She recommended the Passport to paradise drink $16 -- and it was a great rec for sure! The brisket spicy rice cakes had a nice spice kick and the rice cakes were HUGE!! I had to cut it up a bit so it would be easier to eat. The dish was flavorful. The egg was cooked perfectly. Ambiance is chill. I would come back to try a different dish next time. read more

The dol sot bowl and the brussel sprouts (and I usually never go for veggie plates lol) was the best here. the flavor of the brussel sprout was incredible, I was dipping all my food into the sauces of that bowl. however the ramen was by far the worst ramen i've ever tasted, anywhere. I get we're doing fusion here but it doesn't hit the mark for any dimension of grading. absolutely disliked that one. everything else was decent, and service is super nice. i'd say for price point and this being a $$$ place, i'd never recommend it since the restaurant interior / food x price, doesn't impress in fact it's barely meeting the bar overall. people working here are great though no complaints there. read more

We came here during Seattle restaurant week and it was overall pretty good! The Seattle restaurant week deal is amazing and if you have the Amex plat or gold, you can get Resy credit here. The inside if the restaurant is sleek, modern, and upscale. I like that the lighting was dim and music choice was on point! Service was friendly and fast. We ordered: Tuna tartare: 5/5 Soy cured creme salmon: 5/5 American wagyu coulotte SSAM: 3/5 (Unimpressed by the cook of the meat) Smoked duck sot bap: 5/5 Black sesame basque cheesecake: 2/5 (Not enough black sesame flavor) read more

The overall experience at the establishment was exceptional, encompassing the service, ambiance, and culinary offerings. Conveniently located within walking distance of the convention center and beneath the Paramount Hotel, the establishment provides a modern and contemporary atmosphere. During the weekend, patrons have the option of selecting between a three-course meal or an à la tartare dish. The portions are generously sized, offering excellent value for money. The king salmon was exceptionally fresh, and the service provided throughout the evening was impeccable. Highly recommended! read more

Came in before a Paramount Show. Food was tasty. We ordered the steak dot sop for two $40 forgot to take a photo. The portion was small for two people and it was mostly rice with about 7-9 small pieces of steak. Staff were friendly and noise average. Not sure if we'd go back due to price and portion size but it's a convenient place for the Paramount Theater read more

Went for an anniversary and wanted to try this spot out, super nice of them to include either a free dessert or drink (they let you pick). Overall I thought the food was alright, little pricey but it's a nice ambiance. I liked the pork jowl, I thought the sliders were good but not impressed, the wings were just fine and I felt like it was just mid. Tuna tartar was good. I didn't like the cauliflower though and wouldn't get that again, just felt like the flavors didn't shine through and it was too subtle yuzu flavor for me. Service was very nice though. Overall it was nice and glad I went but wouldn't choose it to go again read more

My boyfriend and I ate at Chan Seattle while visiting the city for a few days. It was a really good meal and probably our best dining experience while visiting Seattle. We made reservations ahead of time. I would recommend this to others as well. As we walked in we heard the host telling another party the wait for walk-ins was over an hour. Our server was fantastic. I cannot remember her name but she was super friendly and helpful. She gave us a run down of the menu and provided some really helpful insights into various dishes and recommendations. We started with the Steak Tartare. It was delicious and so flavorful. I was afraid the Asian pear would make it taste overly fruity, but it didn't. I've had traditional steak tartare's before and this was a unique rendition of this classic dish. For our main, we shared the Smoked Duck Sot Bap, Brussel Sprouts, and Soy Glazed Potatoes. There's honestly enough food in the Sot Bap for two people to share, but we added on the vegetable sides because they caught our eye. The duck was amazing. Every bite was tender and flavorful. When they first bring the Sot Bap to the table everything is separated, but they mix it together for you if you'd like. Once mixed, it eats almost like a fried rice. Brussels and Potatoes were also fantastic. The fish sauce vinaigrette on the Brussels packs a fantastic umami flavor; while the potatoes are dense and creamy. 10/10 recommend this place! read more

Chan Seattle Absolutely loved our meal here! Every single dish was delicious and beautifully plated. Highly recommend trying the beef tartare, Korean fried chicken, and the roasted bone marrow -- they were unforgettable. The salmon stone pot rice and the tender braised short ribs were also perfect, and everything was prepared with such care. And the Suntory N/A Beer was surprisingly very refreshing and the Makgeolli (rice wine) was so tasty with a little "kick" i really enjoyed. The atmosphere was modern and chic yet still cozy, and the staff provided warm, attentive service. Definitely a place I'd come back to for another wonderful evening! read more

This restaurant is located in the Paramount Hotel- in the evening it's Chan Seattle, during the day it's Spruce Cafe. Fusion Korean food - delicious! Ordered the bulgogi sliders and spicy pork sliders - preferred the pork sliders 5/5. Fried rice cake spicy - okay, not so fried at all and the rice cake was a big white log and too chewy- I would have preferred it cut into smaller pieces and then "fried", 3/5. The flank steak with rice - okay, not much steak in the entree, maybe 3 ounces, lots of rice - 4/5. Service - prompt. Waiter did a great job with refilling the water. read more

My partner and I came for date night. The ambiance was nice and dark and our server was friendly. The only thing I have to say is that I wish they brought out our plates in increments starting with our appetizers like a normal restaurant. Instead, we got all of our plates almost around the same time, which made it hard for us to try everything with a fresh palate and while they were warm. We ordered four dishes, 2 appetizers and 2 mains, which was enough for the both of us. The bulgogi sliders were okay, wouldn't get them again though. The rolls could've been better if they were buttered more toasted. They kinda just tasted like a hawaiian dinner roll. The soy glazed potatoes were amazing, super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Very flavorful and the sauce underneath was creamy and rich, which paired nicely with the umami potatoes. We wanted to get the beef ragu rice cake dish, but they ran out so we got the spicy beef brisket rice cakes. It was average, i enjoyed the flavors and the fried shallots added a nice touch, but there were a few pieces of meats in there that were super tough. Lastly, we got the 5oz ssam wagyu cooked to medium. I liked how we could make our own wraps, but wished it was a little sweeter to mimic a galbi flavor profile. Still very delicious tho! read more

We sat at the bar looking over the kitchen. Service was on-point. The chefs worked in concert with one another. The flavors were fantastic - the lobster ramen is particularly delicious.

I love the Asian fusion restaurants! This one is inside a hotel, but it's right by the front entrance. There's always a great array of unique dishes, and all deeeeelicious! We were looking for small light meals, and they had a great selection for just that. The chicken wings with a chili caramel glaze topped with nuts were the best wings I've had in a while. They served with a small side of pickled radishes that were a great crisp and powerful addition. And the fire roasted cauliflower was so flavorful. I would definitely come back here to try more. read more

Came here for Seattle Restaurant Week! All the food was delicious! Highly recommend the wagyu ssam, brussel sprouts, and the ginger crème brûlée! Even though I don't like ginger, the crème brûlée didn't taste strongly of ginger and was the best thing I had all night. Unfortunately, their black sesame cheesecake was sold out before we could order dessert but all the other desserts we tried were amazing so I'm assuming it was just as good !! Would come back just for the desserts! The smoked duck sotbap was a little lacking and oily with no crispy rice - the only item we didn't love. Service was friendly and the restaurant is perfect for a date night. The bathroom is in the hotel, needing a keycard and an elevator ride which is a little inconvenient. read more

I really like the ambience of the restaurant. The Korean style floor mats are a nice touch, and practical (as they make the benches comfortable to sit on). Their ceramics are very eye catching, and some are reminiscent of Korean style ceramics. There's touches of Korean influence as well as a feeling of modernity. The food was a hit or a miss. I think the presentation and taste of the steak tartare was a little underwhelming. But the brusselsprouts, were crispy, sweet, and savory. I really enjoyed the flavor of the brusselsprouts appetizer. The duck sotbap was buttery, addicting. We initially forgot to add/mix the gochujang into the dish and thought initially that while buttery it was a bit bland. But once we added the gochujang, it was well seasoned and the flavors played well together. The lobster ramen, however, was quite bland. The lobster itself was well seasoned and sizable. But the noodles and soup could've been better seasoned. It wasn't deep in flavor either. The star of the show was definitely the desserts. If I could come back for the desserts only I would. The ginger crème brûlée from the description sounds a bit weird. But the ginger is subtle, and I couldn't taste dwenjang in the caramel. All the flavors combine well to produce a sweet and creamy dish. It doesn't have that caramelized hardened shell that I was expecting but it was delicious. The black sesame is nutty, and not very sweet. It's got a bit of crumbly texture but it is a good compliment to the vanilla ice cream. read more

My friend and I went to Chan Seattle for Restaurant Week and had a great time. To start, the place is warm and modern. For appetizers, my friend and I split the steak tartare and fire-roasted cauliflower - both were packed with flavor and presented nicely. For entrées, the pork jowl was incredibly tender, and the smoked duck bap was savory although I thought it was a little dry. Since I don't have a huge sweet tooth, the dessert was impressive: the black sesame cheesecake was nutty and not too sweet, while the ginger crème brûlée had a perfect spice-to-sweet balance. Additionally, their espresso martini had a nice cinnamon finish, which was a fun twist. Our waiter was super attentive and friendly - great service all around. Highly recommend for a flavorful, well-rounded dining experience! read more

Came for restaurant week but ended up doing happy hour deals! Happy hour is such a great deal. The appetizers are $10 and cocktail is $10. Beef tartar: omg a MUST! It was so good that we ordered 3 of it. It's perfection. Beef is fresh and comes with pine nuts, Korean pear, drizzled in sesame oil, and within the crunchy thin rice flour (in Korean/Japanese, it's called Monaka) Tuna tartar: not as yummy as beef tartar but still good! Comes with avocado pieces. Fried chicken: wow didn't expect it to be so crunchy and juicy! Comes with pickled radish. Beef sliders: this one was just okay. There weren't too much meat. The bread was too thick. Lacked flavor. Cauliflower: wow wow wow. Please get this dish. This dish has a burst of flavors. Duck dolsot bap: rice topped with duck and comes with red peppered radish (kkak ttu gi) and pickled radish as banchans along with seaweed and gochujang. The rice was cooked to al dante which i like but I wouldn't get this again. It wasn't too special for me. 1000% I'd come back. Service was fast and attentive. Bathroom is upstairs inside the hotel so ask for the bathroom keycard to use it. The interior was modern and inviting. read more

I so wanted to like this place. The atmosphere was cute and servers amazing. BUT the food while pretty lacked taste. It all needed some seasoning. The cook in me just wanted to go back and help.

I had high hopes for Chan Seattle, but I was pretty disappointed. It did have some bright spots. The good: most of the food was good. We really enjoyed the crispy wings and the brussel sprouts. These stood out from the other food. The short rib was also pretty good. The bad: service was lacking. The restaurant was very busy and seemed to be understaffed. Waiter would disappear for a long time and barely checked in. Wife tried to order another drink and it just never came. Prawns needed to be cleaned and deveined. Overall, the food was decent but the experience was not. read more

We had dinner for a special occasion and were happy overall. The decor is odd in that different sections looked very different from each other. We were next to the kitchen which was modern, but a little loud. The beef sliders were fantastic with really soft buns. The brussel sprouts were also pretty good, although the sweet potato puree was too sweet and the consistency was surprisingly like mayo. Our favorite entree was the rice cakes. They were lightly crispy on the outside, but soft on the inside and the savory sauce was very tasty. That slight difference in the rice cake texture was surprisingly addictive. I would definitely get that again. read more

Pricey, but worth it! The ingredients were top notch and the flavors were well curated. Great cocktails. Loved the rice we ordered and the lobster ramen too. Together -- those 2 things were a sufficient portion to share for two adults. Service was fine and the construction makes it challenging to access restrooms. We arrived on time for our resy but still had to wait, this wasn't a huge deal but could be inconvenient if we were on a tighter schedule. read more

Chan does not disappoint! We were here 2 years ago on NYE and had a fabulous dinner! This year, we came back on NYE last night. When I made the reservation, they texted me back saying we would instead experience a NYE buffet with 2 dishes that we can choose to share as well as 'surprise dishes' that will be coming through. $65 per person for the experience -- pretty good price if you ask me! We were running late and thought we wouldn't be able to make it! But it turns out we did and it turned out well. I was awe-inspired by their buffet as we walked by to get to our table. When we were seated and got up to get some food, my absolute favorites were the braised beef and slow cooked and tender pork belly! Please try these or ask if they're available for dinner bc these meats were absolutely slow cooked to perfection! We had their inari rice pockets (3 kinds, salmon, tuna and another kind). We also had their small side dishes of brussel sprouts and radish with some raw tuna underneath that was topped with a sauce and green onions. They had fried potatoes! (Scrumptious!) a mushroom type of salad and cauliflower. Out of the 2 main entrees to share of cod and wagyu, we chose the wagyu which was grilled and marinated. The 'surprise' dishes were the smoked duck on a bed of rice, the rice cake soup (the broth was phenomenal!), 2 fresh raw oysters (yum!) and they had a chicken dish as well but we didn't try that or received it as we were getting FULL! Their cocktails, no matter what, are the BEST! You cannot go wrong with any of them. We tried the 25th season, Chan-gria, empress to dress and another which I cannot remember the name! Chan's food is amazing! We definitely love this place and it holds a special memory for our NYE! Thank you all so much! read more

So good! Chan has such a cool vibe--it's inside a hotel lobby, so you can see the lobby from your seat. It's a two-in-one spot with another restaurant next door that does Asian fusion breakfast and lunch. I went during happy hour for my birthday, and the food did not disappoint. The steak tartare was my favorite! The sesame oil was so fragrant, you could even taste it, but the bread it came on got a little too soggy--chips would've been better. The Bulgogi was super juicy and paired well with the bun, though the bun was a little too toasted and hard to bite. The wings were okay, but they were a bit too saucy and spicy for me. The service was solid, and the happy hour prices were on point. I'd definitely go back for the flavors and the chill atmosphere! read more

Chan Seattle is a nice date night spot with it's intimate atmosphere and dishes that are meant to be shared. They do Korean fusion in a way that is slightly upscale but not super fancy. My thoughts on the food: Steak tartare - was lowkey salty, they were heavy on the soy sauce on ours. The bread did not really help. I couldn't make out the jalepeno or pear either and I wish I was able to taste that. Beef sliders - does not taste like traditional bulgogi that I thought it would taste like but it was good. Cucumber kimchi definitely adds a lot of familiar Korean flavor. Went really well with the brioche bun. Wagyu bone marrow - very buttery. Bone marrow lacked the chili oil and chimichurri flavor that was stated on the menu, so the flavor felt very plain. I think I would skip this. Wagyu ssam - beef was very soft (I'm not sure if it is wagyu soft though). The meat was marinated well and came with all of the things to make ssam (lettuce, kimchi, ssamjang, garlic, jalepeno). I liked this dish the most. It's classic and hard to mess up. Smoked duck sot bap - without the gochujang sauce the sot bap was kind of plain and lacked flavor. It had a lot of crispy onion so it mostly tasted like that. The gochujang sauce definitely provided most of the flavor. There was a good amount of duck which was nice. Caramel creme dessert - the truffle salt on this shook me. The sweetness of the creme combined with the truffle salt was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. This was the truffle flavor that I was missing in all of their other dishes that mentioned truffle. Our waitress thought we had ordered too much food when we were listing out everything we wanted. The portions were small enough that we finished almost all of it (though I would feel less stuffed if we ordered one less dish). Service was very attentive as they always had our waters filled and frequently checked in to see if we were doing all right. read more
