    Conveniently located right next to our hotel. We stopped in because of the enticing menu, and it just so happened to be happy hour, which included both food items and drinks. We had been traveling all day so we ordered the entire happy hour food menu. The food was insanely good. Service was quick and very friendly. Beautiful restaurant. 10000% recommend.

    Pork sliders + brussel sprouts
    Maxine L.

    I've heard about this place for awhile, and finally was in the area to try it. On a weekday evening, it was quite empty. We were greeted and sat immediately. Service was super friendly and quick. My friend and I shared the pork sliders, brussel sprouts, beef cheek ragu rice cakes, wagyu ssam, and the ginger crème brulee. Everything was so surprisingly yummy. Pork sliders were juicy, flavorful, nice fluffy bun. Good proportion of bun to filling. Brussel sprouts at first were your average well made sprouts, but when we reached the bottom of the dish where the sweet potato puree was, it changed the entire flavor profile of the dish! So good. Maybe better served in a wider bowl so we could appreciate the puree sooner haha Beef cheek ragu was super good too. Flavorful rich sauce and I loved that the rice cakes were extra thick and charred on the outside. Made for the perfect texture: lightly crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Wagyu ssam was great too. Not as standout as the other dishes, but solid steak pieces that were perfectly tender. I think my favorite has to be the ginger crème brûlée. The ginger flavor is light, and the hardened sugar on top tastes like crystallized ginger candy when chewed. The doenjang caramel drizzle balances it out as well. Overall, a fantastic meal. It's definitely on the pricier side, and all the dishes could use a bit less salt, but I will definitely be thinking about that crème brûlée for a long time

    Super yummy food! I really enjoyed their potato - the purple potato was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside - the best! The smoked duck rice dish for two definitely fed two! It also tasted yummy! The passport to passion drink was tropical and yummy. Service was quick and friendly.

    All the food is delicious. Standout is the bet ragu rice cake because you don't usually get a crispy outside rice cake. The potato spaetzel is also always such a good surprise truffle flavor done well. A little critique is that the chicken wings are very salty and a little spicy. The cauliflower is very small amount Staff was friendly! Decorations and tableware are upscale and great

    Amazing happy hour! So much bang for your buck. You basically get most the apps and shareables for 40-60% off, which is hard to come by these days. We got the wings bulgulgi sliders, cauliflower , beef tartare and potato salad. The wings and tartare were my favorite. Sliders were the least crowd favorite - bread was so dry and meat could've been saucier. Cauliflower was super flavorful, wish portions were bigger to enjoy more but cant complain. For a fusion/ upscale they overall did great keeping the flavors!

    Overall, we had a decent dining experience at Chan. Chan offers Korean fusion dishes, most of which we enjoyed. They also participate in the Resy network, which was the main reason we chose this restaurant. We had a reservation which helped avoid any wait, as they were quite busy on a weekday evening. Service at the restaurant left a bit to be desired though, as the server spoke so softly as if he didn't want to be heard, and the restaurant does not pace the dishes at all -- everything just comes out all at once and no attempt was made to help us find/make room on the table. There were a couple of dishes that we particularly enjoyed, but also a few misses. The chicken wings were alright, but nothing mind blowing. The crispy rice salad was terrible - description indicated usage of napa cabbage, but we definitely got iceberg lettuce. The overall dish was also disappointing for $18 - there were like maybe 2 pieces of avocado and tomato. We enjoyed the duck sot bap, but the duck was a bit overcooked and there was no crispy rice at the bottom of the pot, which was disappointing. Steak tartare was also fine, but not standout worthy either. The drinks generally were mediocre -- some tasted fine, but others lacked the noted flavors per the menu. On the other hand, the roasted cauliflower was well flavored and tasty. The beef cheek ragu was also a standout, and was like a korean version of ragu gnocchi. The wagyu colulotte ssam was very flavorful and tasty and we really enjoyed the meat, but it was a very loose representation of ssam and the thick cut of the meat made it difficult to eat in true ssam style. As other reviews may have noted, the restaurant does not have their own restrooms, you have to ask a staff member for a hotel key card, take the elevator to the 2nd floor and then access hotel restrooms there (key card swipe needed for both the restroom door and elevator), which was a bit of a hassle. It also wasn't communicated to us by any staff member and they only tell you this upon request. The hotel also had one broken elevator, so only one elevator was usable. All in all, Chan was not a bad restaurant, but I probably would not come back nor recommend it. The price point and service were not up to par, and they charge a 3% fee for cc processing.

    Visited here for restaurant week and got app, entree, and a dessert for $50! The highlight was the rice dish and the salmon appetizer! Wonderful Korean fusion food and great service

    It's Seattle Restaurant Week, so I wanted to try Chan for its elevated Korean fusion cuisine. Overall, everything was pretty solid. The short rib was nice and tender, and the kalbi beef was well marinated and flavorful. For dessert, they had a ginger ice cream that was delicious. The atmosphere and aesthetics of the restaurant were really nice and added to the experience. Service for me that night was a bit spotty, but overall it was still a good place to try.

    Black Cod

    Came here for date night. We ordered non alcoholic drinks and dishes to share. Overall experience was "eh". Salad was way overdressed and the rice dish lack flavor. The beef should have been cut into smaller pieces so easier to eat and tastier bite. The cod was probably the best dish we had. And the dessert selection wasn't exciting so didn't sway use to order any. The server we got just seems to be dragging his feet and wasn't really engaging. He didn't seem to enjoy being there and was simply doing the minimal. He took away from the experience. Definitely would not come back again.

    Korean Fried Chicken Wings
    Peter L.

    Chan Seattle has been around for decades, first at Pike Place Market and now at the Paramount Hotel for the past few years. I've been to HH a few times back in the day, but the full dinner that I recently had was quite impressive. I am generally averse to Korean fusion cooking, but here, the concept and execution are done quite well. We started with a couple of smaller plates - the roasted potato and wings. The roasted potato also included sweet potato and were roasted perfectly for softness and full flavor. The addition of roasted shishito peppers was a plus too! The wings are always popular here, I love how they also provide some pickled daikon, just like when you get fried chicken at a Korean place. The dukbokki was a more updated version with beef brisket, and I loved the larger rice cake that were still so soft. The sot bap was the highlight of our visit, and it is on the pricier side but it is a generous portion. We got the version with the hangar steak, which was so tender and the flavors all came together. We skipped on dessert but had a few cocktails, and the Evo was our fave which included a blend of gin and soju as well as a prickly pear syrup ice cube. It was well balanced and I could make out both the gin and soju elements and loved how it became a little sweeter as the ice melted. It was a perfect dessert. Service was great - the servers know the menu well and gave great recommendations. Chan as withstood the test of time and for good reason as the menu really shows well what Korean cuisine can be beyond Kbbq and fried chicken.

    Entrance

    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.

    K-Fried Chicken Wings: Chili caramel glaze, peanuts, scallion, pickled radish
    C Hayley H.

    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.

    Yes, there is G.F options available upon request

    What's the difference between chefs kitchen and dining room when making reservations?

    The Chef's table, or the Chef's kitchen table, is a dining experience. You can see the chef preparing your food. Additionally, you may have the opportunity to interact with the chef and learn about the dishes and/or the ingredients.… 

    Can I reserve?

    Yes. You can make reservations.

    Would a table of 12 feel cramped here? They're saying they have space but the photos look very small?

    I would request the room in the back.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes, on Resy

    I saw some items on the menu with peanuts in it - does this place support someone who has a Peanut Allergy?

    Yeah, you can ask them to omit the peanuts. I did that for the wings.

    Also known as Rebel? Featured on Anthony Bourdain?

    No, it is not. Bourdain talked about Revel, it is in a different part of town.

As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

We shared a salad, the steak arepa, and the pork arepa. The salad they had on the menu wasn't updated but they had a summer salad with watermelon and it was refreshing and great! The arepas tasted great but were pretty heavy, I think probably because of the sauce. But there wasn't really any way to avoid the sauce. Even splitting amongst three people it was a lot- I think it was still good to try, I liked the steak more than the pork, but I would've only ordered one in the future.
