I had the tofu Bilogi (sp.), and the veggies were really fresh. I'm a fan.

Out of this world! The Cuban sandwich with kimchi, might be one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Hands down. Give it a try!

I cannot Rave enough about this place. It was fast, affordable and delicious. Love that they have ramen. And it was really good ramen. Unlike other places. You just know, getting ramen that it's hit or miss. read more

Very delicious bibimbap with pork and tofu. Super nice waitress and less than 5 min wait. Highly recommended. Only thing is they don't have high chair for kidds. read more

Love this place! Best spicy pork ramen and bulgolgi sandwiches! Jane is the sweetest.

This place is great! I'm a bit of a novice with authentic Korean food, but this food is delicious. Whatever it is, it does seem to be more of a fusion type place. Their Cuban/Korean sandwich is AMAZING! Great flavor, great seasoning, great level of spice, great customer service, chill atmosphere, friendly people. I crave their dumpling soup and I've sampled their kimchi fried rice which I though was delicious. Full of vegetables and was fresh. Happy to have Korean inspired food in QA. read more

Quick disclaimer that I haven't had much Korean food in my life, so I don't have a lot to compare it to authenticity or flavor-wise... but I do know everything I've ordered there is delicious and the woman behind the counter is always super sweet and friendly. I've only ordered take-out, but judging from my encounters when picking up the food, I'd imagine the service is good. My absolute favorite that I've tried is the Once in the Goldinblack sandwich with added avocado. It's so delicious! (and also messy - I usually only consume this in the safety of my own home where I can't be judged.) The Bibimbap Escape Dinner is also a favorite. read more

I ordered delivery from here and I guess I was expecting Korean food, but it's rather more Korean-esque food... No banchan (which is a big deal), braised tofu was watery and without flavor, bulgogi beef was not sliced thin which is what makes bulgogi bulgogi aside from the marinade. So sure, if you want Korean-esque food, I'm sure this will do. read more

Wish I could give 4.5 stars. The bibimbap was super flavorful and a ton of food. I would've gotten it the second time but was too curious about Korean sandwiches so I got the Once in a Goldinblack. That turned out excellent. Spicy pork in both was great. If I could change one thing I'd make them a little spicier. And maybe I'll order with kimchi next time. It's a little small inside but I haven't had to wait at all. Pretty divey vibe. read more

Pretty decent Korean food. Somewhat spicy and salty.

Why this place isn't always packed is beyond me as the food is excellent! My wife and I take out from this place at least once a week and sometimes twice! In fact we typically go on Thursdays but was going to be away this Thursday so we went the day before we left on our trip just so we could get it in this week as we just love the food and service here! 5 stars isn't enough for this place it deserves higher star rating in my book!!! I marked it good for groups but as some have said it is a hole in the wall place one easily missed though should be packed so while it is good for groups the group would have to be a small group as it is a small but fabulous restaurant!! read more

The food tastes fine, not great, and I found a short hair in my kim chi fried rice. At least they apologized and didn't charge me for the meal when I showed it to them. read more

Coming from Korea, this is the place that I have been looking for in Seattle. The service is very friendly and the drink selection is great. I recommend the bibimbop. read more

the DupBap with spicy pork was delicious. if you like spicy Korean this is the place to go. service is nice and there's a nice hotel right across the street. read more

GoldinBlack - DupBap w/ spicy pork - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This place is great. I had soup. So cheap and filling - lots of fresh veggies. Nice waiter / waitress. Comfortable, casual décor without pretentiousness. read more

I was craving for some mean, spicy ,chewy, savory and just kickass dokkbokki (I just made my mouth water again thinking about it) but boy was I disappointed. We got dokkbokki with fishcake and a kimchi pancake. For the dokkbokki they used the wrong kind of fish cake; the rice cake is overcooked; there's no boiled egg (!!!) and the sauce is so bland, tasted like they just mixed some gochujang with water. On the other hand, I didn't know it's possible to mess kimchi pancake up but they proved me wrong. It just tastes bad. I should have just driven to Federal Way one Lynnwood. Now I'm still craving for good dokkbokki except I'm $50 poorer. read more

Came here as an impromptu stop for late night dinner after leaving Key Arena. Noticed they were accepting people up until 9:40 so if you're in the area and don't want to walk over in case of being turned away, it's worth a shot. Food was pretty good; I ordered the bibimbap and he ordered the japchaebap. Waitress seemed really nice but took time to make rounds and both our water glasses was empty for a while before we finally called her over. My fork was dirty so I didn't bother to use it but I had chopsticks so I didn't care much. What really got me upset was I asked for the check because we had to catch the bus. The waitress made a call to the back and just stood by the register for a good few minutes. I'm guessing only one person manages the register? Finally another table (table 2) requests their check from the same waitress, she calls again to the back and another worker comes out and drops off the check to some other table (table 3) before going back to table 2 and asking how they'd like to split the check. By then, the bus will be there in 3 minutes so I lift my hand. She calls over the other table, I request the check again, she walks back, and then calls across the restaurant if I want to split the check. Then she looks confused for half a minute before realizing she gave my check to table 3. This happened to another table prior so I'm not sure if they aren't communicating right or aren't clear on their table numbers but it almost caused us to miss the bus. read more

Pork "bulgogi" with kimchi. No banchan, just a boring little salad- seriously, ZERO banchan. Pork was chunks of loin, not thinly sliced fattier pork as should be on offer. Rice was wet as if it had come out of the rice cooker too soon. Taste was very bland enlivened by the gochujang I had to ask for. Seems very dumbed down for white people overall, which should be Seattle's slogan- "dumbed down for white people." read more

I had Once in the GoldinBlack (a bulgogi sub) and SunDubu. The sub had a meaty, savory taste. I would eat that for lunch or for late night snack. On the other hand, SunDubu was a bit disappointing - it wasn't really SunDubu, niether was it a Kimchi stew. The soup was more like a mild spicy stew that doesn't fit into either category and I am unsure what that was. read more

The food here taste great. However their speed of service could improve. If you are willing to wait a really really long time for just better than average tasting Korean food, this is a good spot. read more

Mehhhh. We decided to eat here because of the good reviews, but we were pretty disappointed. We had the tofu soup, braised chicken, and dumplings. The dumplings were really delicious. The sauce was so good; I wanted more! But the rest was disappointing. I was craving tofu soup, but this was not what I wanted. It just didn't taste right. The braised chicken was also a letdown. There's a Korean place in our building that makes amazing braised chicken, and the one served here was nowhere as good. My BF pointed out that maybe we ordered the wrong things, since a lot of the stuff on the menu were more of a fusion style and what we really wanted was some comforting home-style Korean food. Maybe we'll come back to try their specialties. read more

The ramen was very bland. My husband's babimbap had a large piece of wax paper in it. The chicken sizzling platter was too salty and the chicken was very dry. The dumplings had a weird gummy texture. Not sure how this place has 4.5 stars. read more

Good ingredients but was like a whole foods version of korean food. I look for more of the authentic type

I was very disappointed in my dinner here as the reviews were all so good. We ordered the Spicy Dukbokki which was the only dish with any flavor, the JapchaeBap which was so bland, no flavor whatsoever and lastly the Heritage Kalbi which needed to be grilled for way longer. This place didn't satisfy my craving for Korean Food in any way. read more

Update, came back after almost three years and still as good as I remember it. Their bowls have tons of different veggies and the meat is super tasty. read more

The taste is good. Not authentic Korean. I am a native Japanese and visited to Korea too. Price is reasonable. I like the taste. But better not to expect to authentic taste. read more

The food was great! Wife got the bibimbap and I got what was basically a bibimbap sandwich. It was huge but tasted wonderful.

Really good sandwiches on fresh Macrina rolls. I like the volcano bulgogi and I always add avocado and cucumber. Rice bowls are good too. Nice people running the place. read more

Love this place! I moved to Seattle earlier this year and have to eat here once a week - it's that good. Amazing fresh authentic Korean food, super friendly service and tons of options for meat eaters and vegetarians. I don't know what I would do without this place, one of my favorite eateries in town. read more

I usually order JapchaeBap or BibimBap. Both of them are very tasty. You can choose brown or steam rice. Service is very good, very friendly. read more

The food here is really good and the quality is pretty awesome. It's nice to have a worthwhile korean restaurant in Queen Anne! Now if they had more soups, and gave side dishes, that would be perfect. read more

This place is like nowhere you have ever been before... Billed as "Neighborhood Gourmet Sandwiches Salad - Soup - Smoothie - Shake, and More", they have as they say, all listed and more. The primary items are sandwiches, of which, nearly all are an unusual mix of ingredients and ideas. If I were a better writer, I could describe the place more eloquently, but given my failings, it's best that I just pass along a few of the sandwich names from the menu instead: "Chicken Run", "Uncle Tom's Cajun", "Blue Moon Philly", "Tuna Salad Party", "Hot Meatball Train", and of course "Once in the GoldinBlack" - as an example, the latter is a tasty, albeit unusual, mix of spicy pork, caramelized onion, cilantro, lettuce, pepperoncini, provolone, sriracha, and aioii. They also have ramen (after 3PM only) and a "Soup of the Week". My coworkers and I have tasted a variety of their lunch sandwiches and they are all quite good. The hosts (owners?) are gracious and make and serve the food with care. The food is also reasonably priced (sandwiches with a side house salad for under $9), and if you leave your pre-conceived notions about sandwich ingredients at the door, you can't go wrong here. read more

I would give 3.75 if I had the option. I had the Bibimbap and although it's not traditionally prepared or served in the hot pot, it was good (I would come back). I would caution that if you're looking for authentic Korean food...maybe go to a different spot. I'm glad it's here....nice to have another choice in the neighborhood. read more

Went again a week later. Same level of satisfaction. This time we tried two new things the fried tofu ( highly recommended) and the spring rolls ( not crazy about them because they were too meaty for my taste but the flavors were just right) read more

Good service, fast, tasty, cheap and korean in queen anne! What else can you ask for?!

Holy cow what a delicious sandwich! The sign on the sidewalk made me think that I was heading into a strictly Korean place. I intended to order some spicy pork bi bim bap, but I have always thought that bulgolgi would make a good sandwich and this place nailed it. I had the Goldinblack, can't wait to try the rest. The side salad was a perfect accompaniment too, this place is a welcome addition to lunch in this neighborhood. read more

Great place to grab lunch or dinner to go. The staff was very sweet and the "once in the goldinblack" pork sandwich was really yummy!

This place was amazing! It was definitely my favorite meal the whole time I was in Seattle. It was empty when I went at lunchtime though, which was very surprising after I took that first bite. I ordered a rice bowl with bulgogi beef and kale and romaine lettuce. I was a little skeptical about the fresh romaine and kale but it wilted a little bit and added an awesome crispness. I am going to try to recreate the meal at home here in LA. I'm already craving it again. The staff was very sweet and the restaurant was very clean. I took my meal a couple blocks up to Kerry Park and enjoyed it with the spectacular view. Go here people! read more

We have been to Goldenblack 3 times on the recommendation of my daughter, once for takeout. I have to say the food is always delicious and a great value. Everything was great but I'd have to say the Kimchi Jeon, Bipbimbap Escape and Kimchi Jjigae were exceptional though I plan on working my way through the rest of the menu too. As a bonus the owners and cook are exceptionally friendly. read more

Love this place! We are vegetarians (for the most part) and they have great options. Love the sweet potato japchae bap. Our go to Korean food place! read more
