Great food and the service was excellent. It was our first time there so they spent time answering our questions and making recommendations on the menu. They checked on us regularly and were really nice. I had the hot pot bibimbap and my husband had the beef bulgogi and both were delicious, and the portions were large enough that we had yummy leftovers for lunch the next day! read more

We've been to the Issaquah location before, so expectations were calibrated. The Mercer Island branch was great. Cleaner space, faster service, and the food punched well above what i expected. Parking is easy...either at the lot next to restaurant or at the Walgreens parking lot blow. Had the creamy tteokbokki, galbi soup, and the seafood pancake. The tteokbokki is fine. It's basically Alfredo with bacon cream sauce that studied abroad in Seoul for a semester. Not bad, just having an identity crisis. The galbi soup was solid and warming. But the real MVP of the night was surprisingly the seafood pancake. Crispy, loaded, and one of the better ones I've had in Seattle. This is a very solid 4.3 star if Yelp let me, but upgrading to 5 given the location. read more

Great new location in Mercer island! Food is still as good as their original one in issaquah but maybe because it's new, it isn't nearly as crowded. Have been during a weekday dinner and a weekend lunch and restaurant isn't full, as compared to issaquah we've always had to wait for a table. Service is friendly. High chairs available. As for food, we particularly enjoy the seafood pancake and fried chicken, then making our way down the many other options each visit and depending on what we feel like during that moment. read more

New Korean place on the island! I came in on a weekend for dinner. The interior is quite large and open which is nice. We had a stone pot bibimbap, cheese tteokbeokki, and chicken wings. The bibimbap was good. The variety of veggies was good. Hot bowl makes for good crispy rice. The tteokbeokki was super cheesy and saucy. Sauce was pretty good as well. Chicken wings were okay as well. Yangyeom tasted pretty heavily sweet. Not spicy. Chicken itself was juicy too. Sides, salad, and soup were okay too. I didn't really like the salad dressing it came with but maybe personal preference? It was a black sesame mayo dressing. Overall, I was pretty underwhelmed with this place. Service was really nice, place is convenient and has lots of variety of dishes. But there's so much better Korean elsewhere. And the items were quite pricey given everything. As someone else had said: pretty on par with everything else on the island. read more

Been to the Issaquah highlands location and was pleasantly surprised to know there's a second location! Food was solid. We ate everything. Ordered the stone bibimbop, Mandu soup, and beef bulgogi. Comes with refillable banchan- the Kimchi is amazing. Would definitely come back. Parking is easy in the lot out front and we were seated right away on a Friday night. They were pretty busy but we still able to get their attention for things we needed. I'd say somewhat less warm and proactive in terms of checking in, but that's not a must. Ambiance is fine. The booths are a bit awkward and are much too high for the tables so you sort of have to lean over the entire meal, but that's a minor point. Inside otherwise felt bright and relatively spacious despite being quite busy! Last call for food at 9pm (at least on Friday). read more

Very content with the banchan selection, the flavorful beef soup, and the chicken wings. Overall better value for money in comparison with other Korean restaurants in the region read more

Love the food, hate the table layout. Came here before the official opening because Korean cuisine is amazing and was seated in the middle two top tables. The restaurant layout itself looks a bit haphazard - a freezer for ice cream is in the main dining area, an oversized television consumes the east wall. The restaurant has no character, no ambiance but - does it matter? Seriously ambiance is nice but that's the garnish. Give me service and food. Service was solid. Friendly and overly polite. There were some soft opening hiccups but nothing big. The food was delicious! I ordered the Rose Udon and oh wow it was wonderful. The noodles were toothy, the sauce creamy, the sausage a delight! I loved it! Every bite was delicious. The rain on my parade was the table arrangement. With a freezer on one end and the pony wall on the other end people did not have a clear path of exit. This resulted in people trying to slip between our table and the empty table next to us which resulted in multiple jostlings. It was disconcerting, irritating, and disruptive. I hated it. But the food? Delicious. read more

Finally got to try this Korean restaurant on the Island. I had the bibimbop lunch and my coworker had the bulgogi lunch. All were solid! I wish there were more mushroom and spinach in the rice but it was still delicious. It's a great addition to the choices on Mercer Island. read more

Service was friendly and the banchan dishes were good but the food itself came up short. The LA Galbi was very pricy for pretty low quality meat that was overly fatty and not well marbled kalbi. Also got the Galbi Soup and it was just ok. The meat with the bones looked impressive but the meat tasted old like reheated microwaved meat from a few days ago and the broth was clean but not rich or deep. Over $80 after tax and tip for just these two dishes with no drinks is just too much for a casual lunch, even on Mercer Island. Unfortunately for these prices, you are probably better off driving to a Korean bbq restaurant which offers a similar price point. read more

I'm a fan of Danji! Glad we have a Korean option on Mercer Island. I've tried their fried chicken, bibimbap, soon dobu, galbitang, and fresh kimchi. Fried chicken here is super juicy and good amount of breading. Bibimbap was super fresh. Galbitang had a nice hearty taste. Kimchi here is also super fresh. Love buying kimchi for takeout to have at home. Very very fresh. Customer service is also super friendly. Great casual spot for groups for lunch or dinner. read more

I enjoyed the food, a little bit too fusion, but good. The rose' udon was great. A little more traditional Korean food would be nice.

Finding consistently good Korean food in WA been challenging, so I was delighted to discover an excellent Korean restaurant on the island. The service was also great! Just a heads up that they are closed on Tuesdays. read more

yum yum yum!!!! my family and i were waiting for weeks for danji to open ever since we saw the sign go up XD we came in on their second day and were seated right away. the space has really opened up and there's lots of seating now. we ordered and food came out super quickly. everything tasted great -- the fried chicken we got was super crispy and moist, and the wings were sizeable. i will say with a wet sauce it can be a tad bit salty, but not terribly so. the bibimbap was yummy as well, but i would've liked the egg to be more runny; it was pretty much fully cooked. loved the cheese tteokbokki and soup we got as well. of course the banchan was delish too! overall pretty solid spot for mercer island and im glad we have a restaurant that's open later now. obviously some items are a bit pricey, but expected for the island. read more

the food here was so good! a great addition to mercer island restaurants! will definitely be coming again

Food quality is great, excellent For the price. Service was fast and friendly. -1 star because the ambience could be better -- warehouse feel with no personality and the audio system is poor. If you are going to be playing continuous music it really needs to not sound like a tinny cheap speaker. These are easy fixes though. The interior was clean and neat. read more
