Japc chae and Spicy Pork (Daeji Bulgogi)
Olivia L.

Quaint little spot, HUGE in flavor. We enjoyed our dishes. Customer service was prompt and friendly. Thank you Hanok

For a Korean restaurant, I was a bit disappointed they did not include side dishes with the meal. Perhaps this is something I am used to getting from other classic Korean restaurants, but as I heard this place was authentically Korean maybe my expectations were too high. The soondubu was watery and did not come with an egg, and only had tofu and pork. I was a bit underwhelmed with the taste. My friends got their other soups (tang) and it looked better but I'm not sure if they were super amazed by it. I got a pork bulgolgi to-go for the next day and I liked how the portions were pretty generous for their meat plates as they came with a side salad, miso soup, and rice. The space is very intimate and quiet, suitable for smaller parties of people. I think it's a good place to visit if you're hungry for Korean food in the neighborhood but overall it was not somewhere that will make me go out of my way to that area of Seattle.

Really liked the ghimmari and tteokbokki! They were even able to do the tteokbokki vegetarian for me! Lots of veggie options on the menu too. The bibimbap was good and my partner liked his bulgogi, but felt the sauce could have been a little more flavorful and mixed. The service was a bit slow but I think it was just one person for all the tables so we didn't mind at all. It's a small and cute little spot in the Madison Park area with indoor and outdoor seating. We would definitely recommend it!

Bulgogi

Hanok is an okay Korean spot. The dishes are more individual rather than shareable however the food is good. There's no banchan that accompanies food however staff are really nice. In the summer it can be a little hot as there's no fans or air circulation. Overall, an okay spot but not sure if I'd be back.

Excellent japchae

Tried this place for the first time to attend a friend's birthday dinner, and it was fantastic! The place is cozy. Definitely make a reservation if you're eating in. Han (one of the owners) served the entire restaurant, including our group of 9, with ease. His wife, Jade, is in the kitchen slinging out amazing dishes! We tried nearly every appetizer as a group and my favorites were the spicy rice cakes (perfect amount of spice and sweet), the cheese corn, and Korean pancakes. Also tried the beef bulgogi (comes with rice, salad, and soup at a very reasonable price). Excellent japchae!! I ordered several glasses of wine and Han was kind enough to make sure I wasn't driving (I wasn't). I returned home safe and pleasantly stuffed! I would highly recommended checking this place out when you're in the mood for Korean food. Great service and food, very reasonable prices, and we felt right at home.

Grilled Pork Belly

Great service, great food! Will be coming back for sure! I also echo others, and recommend booking a reservation in advance.

Fried Ghimmari
Emily C.

Such a cozy, charming Korean spot in Seattle! We came here as a party of 4 on a Friday night and were seated pretty quickly. I ordered the galbitang which was super good. The broth was rich and the beef really tender and cooked perfectly. Portion sizes were generous and we were stuffed after our meal. We also ordered a few appetizers which were also delicious (especially loved the Fried Ghimmari!). Everything from the food to the plating was impeccable and the staff was incredibly kind. Definitely recommend checking this place out!

Really cozy spot near Madison Beach Park! Service was amazing, really appreciated our server's recommendations. Size of portions was also great, although was slightly hoping they might serve some banchan. But if anything, it just allowed us to order more apps!

Grilled Pork Belly (Sam Gyup Sal)
Alice L.

Hanok is very busy and they're trying their best on busy weekends! I wouldn't mind going back, but it's not high on my list: - no banchan - pork belly is thin and doesn't haven't enough flavor on its own - pork katsu is good though!

Galbi
Jacqueline D.

Absolutely amazing Korean spot. Simple no frills. Tiny shop so make a reservation if you want to dine in. Seems like a lot of folks in the neighborhood do take out here (but then you lose out on the stone bowl as part of your meal!!) The food is absolutely amazing - very classic no frills Korean food. Great prices. If we were closer we'd be getting takeout from here all the time! On a weekend night, they seem to run out of certain things towards closing - so you know you're getting fresh food!

Excellent bibimbap!!
David D.

Great food! I don't know what it is with Seattle and Korean food but everything we have had here is incredible. The Bulgogi was very flavorful... and the service was great! Check this place out.

nice appetizer! fried clear noodles wrapped with seaweed
Richard U.

Nice little place to grab a quick bite if you are hankering for some Korean foods in the Madison Park neighborhood. Soon doo boo: I usually get mine spicy with Kim chi. It's a solid SDB. Sort of wish it was a bit more molten hot lava hot and bubbling but it'll do the job and is tasty. I usually get the purple rice as my carb to go with it. Assorted pajeon. I am a sucker for tiny appetizer sized savory pancakes since they come out with nice and crisp on the edges and are perfect snack sized! Fries ghimmari: fried glass noodles wrapped in seaweed. One of my favorite appetizers that is not commonly found on restaurant menus. Sort of like jap chae in as a fried finger food!

Galbi, Kimchi Trio, Spicy Udon & Dolsot Bibimbap*
Kristen K.

Loved their presentation. Food tasted great. Loved their kimchi trio but the cucumber kimchi was the best. Ordered dorsot bibimbop, galbi, spicy udon & jun.

The Korean pear mixed in adds a lot of great flavor and the seaweed chips it comes with are a really nice touch. The oxtail in the hand rolls were super tender too. For mains we got the Paju fried rice and the 14oz dry aged New York steak. The fried rice had a really nice flavor to it. The steak was definitely a standout since it was very well cooked and super tender. I really liked all the sides that were served with it! Highly recommend this spot if you want a really high quality meal.

I looked up Paju before in South Lake Union nearby my hotel, and was excited to try it. Ended up finding a partner in crime anyway, and headed over close to closing time. Place is dark and modern, although I appreciate the wood oven being front and center. Owner was a little awkward given the timing, however she warmed up to us pretty quick when she said she was going to be in/out as we promised, and did appreciate the food itself. Got the sesame negroni, which was a unique and untraditional way to approach this cocktail. The sesame made it very different, and it remained as strong as I liked. The bugak (almost like a Korean taco with oxtail) was awesome. They were kind of just 2 bites of food each, however what was there exploded with flavor. I could've eaten 5 of these. NY strip was just ok. Didn't get any dry aged flavor from it at all. Not enough seasoning either. Bachan with it--brussel sprouts, kimchi--were tasty though, and the Paju fried rice was awesome. I wish they could put some beef/fish with that and call it a day. One of my favorite fried rice preparation I've had, but hey, I'm a sucker for squid ink. Would definitely come back here next time I'm in Seattle. Next time would sub the steak for the seafood jeon or branzino, however really nice meal otherwise. Compared favorably to other elevated Asian cuisine I've had (Joule in Seattle, Goosefeather in Tarrytown NY, Danji in NYC).

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.

The crowds are less heavy now and yelp joining the waitlist is super convenient. Although today's waitlist join said it would take 16-33min to be seated, I got the text that table was ready within 3 minutes. We were still en route and made it within 15 minutes but were removed from the waitlist because we didn't answer the 3 minute call. Nonetheless, we only waited 10min for another table. 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.

Just wished there was more tteok. 1 Daeho kalbijjim (mild) with added cheese and corn- this was a lot for our group of 4, we ended up taking some to go. The meat was tender, the flavoring was a little salty for my liking. 1 Daeho naengmyun- sooo yum and refreshing bites in between all the meat.

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.

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. Also, only certain dishes come with the banchan, so be sure to read the menu carefully if you are wanting the banchan.
