They were happy to explain the food and make suggestions. The food itself is incredible. Fantastic flavor, texture, temperature--- everything was perfect. The quality of ingredients really shined. The portions were also plentiful and filling. Really enjoyed my experience here and can't wait to come back sometime. I got the daily platter with the braised spicy tofu. So good. The tofu was done right.

The interior is beautifully decorated, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I also loved how clear and easy-to-read the menu was. Since I'd always wanted to try the daily special, I went with the Spicy Pork. I was really craving a traditional "Baekban" style meal with all the side dishes (banchan) laid out. The presentation was stunning, but the taste was just okay for me--not bad, but not particularly memorable either. However, everyone else in our group was very happy with their orders! The Veggie Bibimbap and Stone Pot (Dolsot) Bibimbap were hits, and the Chicken Katsu Curry was great, even with a little spicy kick. The Hamburger Steak was also a crowd-pleaser. It seems like ordering the individual entrees is the way to go here. It's a perfect spot for a casual meal, and the beer we ordered was incredibly crisp and refreshing. Since we had a large group, we sat outside, but the vibe inside looked lovely too. I'd definitely come back again! Perfect weather, a scenic walk, and an amazing meal to top it off.

My friend and I got the beef manti, which were massive and super juicy. We got the goulash as our main and it was also cooked well. I loved having the combo of noodles, buckwheat, and rice. I had enough leftovers for 2 more meals. The black tea is also high quality. I definitely want to come back and try more of their menu!

That excitement is exactly what brought us back a second time, and we even took plov and samsa to go for our road trip to Yellowstone. That says everything about how much we loved the food. The plov was outstanding -- perfectly seasoned, rich, and made with obvious care. Samsa came out golden and flaky, just right. Boso lagman was a dry-fried noodle dish with bold, satisfying flavor -- though more meat would make it perfect. Manty was solid comfort food, simple and honest. And the shurpa -- that soup was something else entirely. Deep, warming, and soulful, every spoonful felt like it was made with love. Food? Honestly, ten out of ten. No question. Service is where things fell short. The soup arrived last instead of first -- the team knew the order was wrong, yet refused to cancel it. The very next day they admitted it should have come first. Here is what made it worse: you tip in advance before even tasting anything. You pay that tip in good faith, trusting the experience will match. When it doesn't -- when mistakes happen and nobody takes responsibility -- that advance tip feels like a betrayal. You paid for something you never fully received. You have something truly special here. Honor it by listening to your customers.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Very nicely decorated and instagram-able. Very clean as well. Service was good. It did take a while for our server to take our order, but it seemed they were understaffed at the time and she did the best she could. Despite that, she was very friendly and personable. The bartender was nice as well, asking if we'd like any additional drinks. We ordered a couple drinks. Both tasted great and filled to the brim which was nice. It definitely got us tipsy too lol. Our entrees came out pretty fast too. We got the oxtail Benedict and crab Benedict. Both tasted great. The meats were fresh and flavorful, hollandaise sauce was delicious. The side of potatoes were delicious too. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Perfect. One critique I have is that all of our poached eggs were a bit overdone. The yolks mostly hardened with minimal runny-ness. Still delicious though. I'd definitely come back again. Would love to try their dinner menu.

I was very disappointed with just about every aspect of the brunch: 1. The service was slow and just not great, it took 15 minutes to get coffee ordered, and getting a refresh on drinks or getting the food orders in or even the check was brutal. I ended up having to get up to find my server to pay the tab 2. The food was actually not bad, but there were some pretty big errors with a couple dishes - for example the eggs Benedict poached eggs were cooked through with solid yolks, and normally this would just be a quick redo, but with how long it took to catch the server this really delayed the meal. 3. The place was just not prepared for the brunch crowd. I think most of the issues came from the place being understaffed for a Sunday brunch. I won't be back.

I ordered the catfish claypot, which came highly recommended, and it truly delivered. The flavor was rich, savory, and comforting with a beautiful presentation. My one note: order a small side of jasmine rice. The dish does not come with it, and while the claypot stands strong on its own, the sauce deserves something to soak it up. You will want every last bite. The location is charming, tucked into a quaint neighborhood across from a cozy coffee shop and bookstore. The restaurant itself is spacious with a well stocked bar. One side feels ideal for families and larger groups, while the other side leans more date night or casual drinks. It strikes a nice balance. Pricing runs on the higher side, especially since entrees do not include rice or sides and portions are not particularly large. It is something to keep in mind when ordering. Service was decent and attentive, though I would have appreciated stronger menu knowledge. Simple questions like whether a dish is gluten free or whether it includes rice or vegetables should be easy to answer. A bit more confidence and familiarity would elevate the experience. I also would have appreciated seeing Vietnamese representation at the front of house, given the cuisine. Would I return? Yes. The food is good and the space is inviting. I am just not in a huge rush, as the overall experience did not fully match the quality of the dish itself.

Our server for the event was delightful and the selection of appetizers, cocktails, and entrees our group ordered were all scrumptious. As a crab lover, I was particularly impressed with the restaurant's preparation of the Whole Saigon Dungeness Crab that I ordered for my meal. The dish was loaded with garlicky, cheesy, and crabby flavor (sweet, briny, buttery, and rich), and it was a joy to eat. The dining room was packed when we arrived, and the space was tastefully decorated and felt appropriate for the occasion and my friend's demeanor and understated elegance lifestyle. I highly recommend Monsoon Seattle!

    Disclaimer: this review is for Sun Teriyaki that replaced Palmi on Fremont Ave. Posting here bc I…read morebelieve Palmi has rebranded to "Sun Teriyaki". At first I thought Palmi sold to a different owner, but couldn't find the entity "Sun Teriyaki" on Yelp, plus the menu looked similar and the owner is still Korean, so I believe they simply rebranded. Note: 120% vegetarian / vegan unfriendly. Oh god where should I start? Flies that fly around indoor even when the doors were always shut, the lingering cigarette smell, the overly sweet teriyaki sauce, the gamey beef (despite the heavy sugary teriyaki sauce), the years-old gyoza, the suspicious dark spots on my raw lettuce salad, or the bland steamed tofu plate that cost no more than $2 to make but they charged $17 for (check out the photo!) ? I've been wanting to check out this place and we finally paid a visit this week. We were the only two people in-shop on a weekday at 6PM, and we soon figured out why. I ordered a teriyaki combo of beef and gyoza, while my partner who's vegetarian got a tofu teriyaki. The owner was considerate enough to clarify with my partner that their default tofu is fried with animal oil. He suggested steamed tofu as a replacement, and my partner happily accepted that. Little did we know, that was a total mistake. It didn't take long for the food to be served, and I was already sus-ed out by the look of it - dark pile of beef strips next to rice and sad looking lettuce salad, plus four gyozas. The sauce was so heavy that it was impossible to tell what the meat was. Then upon first bite I was completely turned off - the teriyaki sauce was overly sweet even by American standard, and salty too. And despite the heavy dressing, the beef still tasted gamey... The gyozas tasted worse than store-bought ones, not much filling and tasted like they've been frozen forever. Oh and this wasn't even the worst part yet... when my partner's food was served, it was even sadder - cubes of steamed tofu (the tofu looked like it was taken right out of store containers, just cut into cubes) laying around next to rice and sad looking salad. Check out the photo for how cheap the dish looked. It came with a dark sauce for seasoning yet the owner told us the sauce was in fact not vegetarian. So my partner had to create his own seasoning of soy sauce and sriracha hot sauce to finish his food. And btw, the sriracha bottle looked quite gross... So yea, my partner paid $17+ to eat cubes of flavorless unseasoned steamed tofu with white rice and pieces of raw lettuce - something we've made many times at home with much better seasoning and taste with the cost of $3 max. This place also has no service. You order at the front, the food gets served, and you need to bus your own table and get your own water. Needless to say, never coming back.

Ordering kiosks inside, not a lot of in person contact. (Perfect for some) The menu options are great. They have a "create your own" plate option, which I got. I ordered 1/2 teriyaki chicken and 1/2 sesame chicken, with brown rice. The meal was $14. If you ask me, that is a hell of a deal! The portion size was pretty hearty. Wait time said 14 minutes, but it was only around 10 minutes. The teriyaki was my fave of the 2 chicken entrees. The meat was thick, juicy and flavorful. (No gross fatty pieces!) The sesame was good too, but next time I would get a full order of the teriyaki alone. In, out, delicious food, good portion size and a decent price! What more could you ask for!!?

My husband, who prides himself as being a Korean who can handle a high spice level was SWEATING eating the spicy chicken. Granted, the menu does warn that it's very spicy, but he was not expecting this level of heat. He was only able to get through about half the meal and commented that he was glad he didn't have work the next day. (If you know, you know.) I'm not sure if this was just an exceptionally spicy batch, or if it's normally this spicy, but be warned! They're not messing around when it comes to the heat. The edamame was also just so-so. It's a bummer that out of the two times we've come here, we've only enjoyed 1 out of their 4 sides. Combining our first and second experience, I think this is a solid 4-star spot. Good for a takeout meal, if you order the right thing.
