Vibes were good but the service and food was not. The corn cheese rotisserie chicken has undercooked chicken and overcooked rice with super greasy non charred cheese. Tobokki is straight water and gochu. Kimbamp was okay. We have pancakes we waited for 1hr that never came. Checked with our server 2 times and she said it's coming after 30 mins but nobody checked in on us nor the pancake showed up after 1 hr.

Hmm, pretty basic Korean street food. The price is fair and the vibe is nice, but everything felt pretty basic overall. Customer service was just so-so. The food was okay, nothing really stood out to me. The chicken honestly wasn't worth the hype, but I did like the tteokbokki sauce. good place for the atmosphere, but the food itself was just average for me.

I live right by this place and have been wanting to try it for a while. I was so surprised to see a WHOLE rotisserie chicken on the menu and I just had to try it. I was not disappointed! The chicken was juicy and well cooked and it paired well with the sticky rice inside and corn cheese on top. It was definitely a heavy meal so I recommend sharing it or of course take some leftovers home which I did :) I also tried the lychee highball which was pretty good. I liked the vibe of the place, giving off late night Korean bites. Servers were super accommodating and friendly, I will definitely be back to try their other dishes.

Winter Special Menu

This spot definitely has the lively atmosphere and nostalgic decor of a trendy alleyway bar. We came right as they opened and was successful at avoiding any wait time. Seating area is spacious. They had bar top, high tops, and long tables for larger groups. The menu was simple and straightforward. We ordered beef bulgogi kimbap, kimchi udon, and the memory lunch box from their winter special menu. We also ordered a couple bottles of apple soju. The food was tasty and enjoyable. Portion sizes were decent and perfect for sharing. The kimbap came with 10 slices and drizzled with bulgogi sauce. The kimchi udon had the perfect spice and excellent balance of umani. The soup had generous portions of fish cakes. The memory lunch box was something out of Squid Games. The tin lunch box was packed with rice, kimchi, luncheon meat, and a fried egg. Prices were also reasonable. Overall, a good spot to stop by before or after bar hopping.

Tteokbokki + Rotisserie chicken (corn cheese)
Hani K.

I think their food tastes pretty good overall. The tteokbokki is spicy in a good way but I do think the serving size is a littleee small. It's $12 for 5 big rice cakes, I've gotten their oden pot before too it's $13 for ~4 sticks, and this rotisserie chicken was $31. Chicken was a little tough but it was still good, corn cheese is on the sweeter side too. The seafood pancake is pretty good, they had like mini octopuses I don't remember the price but I thought it was pretty worth-- the middle did feel a little too mushy/undercooked for my preference but the outside is very crispy! The workers are very attentive and kind, the atmosphere makes it feel very hyper and social, especially the music. It's more of a night-out kind of restaurant with loud music and chatter.

This place is usually packed by 7, so I'm glad we got there by 5 (right when they open) to snag a table. Service is 10/10, we were greeted by a server right away and she offered us tea to stay warm from the cold. We were also given recommendations and we took her word for it; hands down the most creative dishes we've had. Our fav was the chicken w/ crispy sticky rice: reminded me of the hannam oriental roast chicken in Seoul . The interior is similar to some of my fav pochas in nyc/seoul, what a vibe. It does get loud though. Def worth coming back to try something new from their menu. The only downside is that they may not have a dessert menu and I was craving hotteok, bungeo-ppang and bingsu last night

My boyfriend and I came here after the first place we went to was really busy, but it was a Friday night around happy hour. We stopped by here and we got in right before they started getting fill. The service is good when you arrive and are seated but it's extremely hard to get anyone to stop by to check in on you or just walk by as they were busy. Once we did get someone's attention, we got the tonkatsu kimbap, small oden soup, Korean toast, and dak ttonk jip. The food here is pretty good and massive! The oden soup also comes with one rice and it is some of the best rice cakes I've ever had as it feels like eating a mozzarella stick. I also appreciate that they have shicimi on the table as I put that in my soup and it just made it even better. My boyfriend loved the kimbap. The dak ttonk jip is a lot spicier than other places that I've ordered at so my boyfriend couldn't enjoy it but it was delicious. The Korean toast was fantastic but it did start to get soggy, which I really don't like soggy bread but I eat slow. My mom tells me that this place is similar to how night life in South Korea is like and she says it's great that Washington has something like that. They were playing K-pop really loudly, playing a lot of the songs that came out when I was in high school so it was nostalgic. They do have a lot of seating both tables and chairs as well as bar seating. Besides the lack of service, it is definitely worth checking out to enjoy good food, music and overall vibes.

Overall it's a cute but lil bit spendy spot. The vibe is fun with the decor and it's usually pretty busy so that adds to the fun if you can snag a table. The service was really friendly and on top of it. We were sat at the high tables and the space was really small to fit all our orders. The food was pretty good. I think the tteokbokki was good, very big and chewy. It came with 5 pieces k believe. The chicken was pretty good, and i liked the rice in it. It wasn't very spicy, more Flavorful. Overall it's a fun spot, it cost about 40 per person for a group of 3 and I thought it was a good amount of stuff (including each of us getting drinks)

I will dream about this place and cry over the fact that I live over 1000 miles away. This was the first food stop of my Seattle trip and it set the bar HIGHHH. Highlight of the dinner was the CORN CHEESE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN. You have to get it, I was so sad after we ate the first one I was about to get another one. It was so yum! We also got the oden, the broth was amazing paired with the drinks. I loved how it's in a kettle as well. Everything inside just looked so cool. The teokkbokki was cooked as it should've been. Super yums. The drink were also really good! The melon manic was super sweet, could barely taste the alcohol if you wanna add more sweetener. The workers were all so sweet! Food came out quick, and honestly the vibes overall was just so cool and lively. This place will forever be on my mind

My wife wanted to try this Korean-style spot, and wow... we're so glad we did! As soon as we walked up, two ladies opened the door with big smiles and welcomed us in like family. They sat us down right away and started talking to us about their food and how everything is made -- such a nice touch. OMG... the food was unbelievably delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and made with absolute perfection. Every bite felt like comfort and love. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back!

Golmok is a Korean bar serving street food that I thought was going to be overhyped but ended up being a pleasant meal. The kimbap, tteokbokki, and tempura were average. Nothing too special but the flavors were on par with any other Korean restaurant you could go to. I liked that they added some fried slice fish cake on the tteokbokki though, and that the rice cakes were chewy. I think you would be satisfied getting any of these. The stars of the show, for me, was the mala spicy chili rotisserie chicken and the oden pot. I thought the mala spicy chicken had a good amount of mala spice (kind of numbing to me) and was also garlicky. The chicken also was not dry.The sticky rice stuffing had the mala flavor as well and was an interesting touch. I had never had a dish like this before in a restaurant. For the size of the chicken, the price is a bit much though. The fish cake soup came in a little pot which was so cute. The soup was flavorful and they gave a lot of fish cakes. The drinks were also fun and delicious! I love highballs and I was so happy to see a lychee flavored one (my favorite!). The service here could be a hit or miss. I felt that it was hard to flag someone down when you needed something. They only have tables for smaller groups. I would say 2-4 is the ideal number to go with. I think it's a fun place to try once for sure.

Crispy rice rotisserie chicken

After trying more of the food and drinks, I'm still left feeling that this place is just okay overall. The gimbap and tteokbokki were good, but not particularly memorable, especially considering the higher price point. Alcohol options like soju and beer are also noticeably marked up. The standout of our order was the melon highball, which was actually quite refreshing and enjoyable. Very busy and good music in a Friday night

Alexis V.

I actually really like this place! Would rate higher if the alcoholic drinks were stronger because felt like I dropped money just to have some nicely presented juices. But, the food was good with the seasoning amount. Great type of crunch with each part of our meal that Erica and I ordered. We ate at the bar side because long line and we wanted to be seated right away. Waited 15 minutes and I think that the bar side is best if you trying to have a conversation where both of you are trying to listen to each other talk. Mostly high tables and stools, which were occupied by groups of 4 people or more. Love the dim lighting because it went well with that late night vibes. Was able to take good enough photos of the food, but not ourselves :( shoutout to our waiter for putting down with the quickness of our plate deliveries. He would walk through what each plate consisted of to ensure that he got the correct order to the customer. I forgot his name, but I want to recognize for doing a great job in his line of work. He picked up on social cues when we were trying to rush out of there because Erica and I had the cupcakke concert to attend afterwards. Tough with parking because the side street was lined up by cars, and a couple of people under the influence that made it feel unsafe to leave your car there, so had to park at the outside lots for like $10, even though we were here at the restaurant past typical business hours

The dining area that is nearest to reception can get "cold" particularly the corner, we sat there once and your elders will not like it. Today we got seated there again and decided to wait for the other side where the AC wasn't full blast. Its all chill. Friendly, accommodating staff. The food comes fast, like Din Tai Fung. The cost too, is like DTF. Overall, its good, but not worth the higher cost, but the service and cleanliness make it a combined 5 Star. The Kalbi Tang is the star, a must get every single visit.

It is set up like a cute korean style bar with small round tables which make sharing easier. They have a pretty good selection on their menu and we ordered a couple of items to share. The Rose Ttoekbokki with cheese was very yummy, but it kinda tasted like pasta with rice cakes instead of spaghetti. I think that is the point of this dish, so if you want a more traditional spicy flavor then get the other ttoekbokki option (spicy rice cakes). We still loved this one and the rice cakes were so chewy and delicious. The cheese corn was very yummy and exactly what you would expect. It pairs perfectly with the other dishes. My friends also shared the Seafood ramen and Beef bulgogi. They liked both dishes. One of our favorite things were the side dishes actually! The tofu was so yummy, and the bean sprouts were so crunchy and well seasoned. We even asked for extra! The only aspect that makes it difficult to come more often is the price point. Since the dishes are so big and shareable, it is easy to split amongst a group, but it is a little less affordable to come here for dinner and drinks.

JangAn puts diners in the driver's seat, meaning that seasoning your soup is up to you and your own preferences. This might sound intimidating, but every table has a guide printed out, and the servers proactively offered to guide me as they brought out my roiling bowl. This method of seasoning complements the beauty of seolleongtang, which seems to deepen as you eat it. Warmth, seasoning, and time gradually coaxes more richness from the bowl, so take your time and enjoy the process. One special shout out for the banchan.

Have been in a few times and have had a solid experience each time. Fairly small place and not THAT many tables. You order at the counter and then sit down. It's self serve for water, silverware, and complimentary barley tea, which is nice. Both times the customer service when ordering was fine but not super friendly. I was the one saying "hello" first and saying "how are you?" before the cashier said anything. Kind of awkward/standoffish but not a dealbreaker when the food is good. Most recently I had the kimchi jigae, which was relatively spicy, even when I asked for less spicy (and they said they could accommodate). I'd say it was like 2-3 stars. Flavor was great though and it was a decent portion (for $17) and satisfying. Also, a pretty wide range of menu options, despite it being a small place. There were 4 complimentary banchan dishes (napa kimchi, cucumber kimchi, seasoned bean sprouts, and fish cakes). Note that I don't think there are free refills like other places... maybe you can ask but I didn't see anyone doing so. For 1-2 people, it's a relatively generous amount.

I've tried galbitang at other places, but there was an umami that many didn't have. All the banchan were flavorful too, I thought the kimchi had a good balance as sometimes it can be a bit on the saltier side. Service was great too, the sever was friendly and checked often.
