It's not a huge place, but the decor is modern and clean and doesn't feel like a cafeteria or diner. Prices are reasonable and the menu is extensive. As a huge biryani fan, I had a chance to try two different versions and they were both great. I would say that the spice level is a bit higher, but the food is very flavorful, ingredients are fresh and the server was great and offered me extra raita to make sure I was ok :). Portions were generous and the leftovers could easily make a second lunch. They also have great lunch specials such as a rice bowl for $10 as well as a thali for $14 (2 types - chicken and vegetarian). Definitely worth a try when in the Bothell area.

I think these special versions are definitely better than the standard ones which we've tried before here. So much more flavor! The price is quite reasonable and the service was friendly and fast.

Every dish was made to order and delicious - our favorite dishes were the Kalbitang and Grilled Mackerel. Service was great, restaurant was nicely decorated, and spacious which was perfect for our little family. The owner of the restaurant stopped by at the end to check in with us and she was so sweet.

I got to see what most don't see, their event space. This is a different service all together. Its upstairs, has its own bar, space for a very diverse fusion menu with recognizable classics, and enough tables and chairs to mingle. The bar can be full service, but don't forget the plethora or beer-based taps that Stoup is known for. Don't count Stoup out just for pizza. Fish, beef and salad options were available for guests, and its a good place to keep the kids contained. Tip your bar staff well, and don't forget to bring many friends so you can take advantage of the men at your next party. Stoup is Kenmore can be that right place for you!!

I highly recommend this wonderful Korean restaurant located in Thrashers Corner next to O'Reilly's Auto Parts and The Dollar Store! Mr. and Mrs. Choi are the new owners. Such a delightful couple who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and to assure you have an excellence experience!

Here's what we ordered: Beef Short Rib Stew: The broth was excellent and flavorful. However, the beef itself could have been more tender, as if it needed to be cooked a bit longer. Seafood Pancake: This was a highlight! It was perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining soft on the inside and was packed with seafood. We really loved it. Squid Deopbap: This dish was also fantastic. It came with a great sauce and a generous amount of squid. All mixed together, it was a very rich and satisfying bowl. Overall, Korea House is one of the best Korean restaurants I've tried in the Seattle area. Their portion sizes are very generous.

We made a reservation on Resy (which is really great if you have American Express because they have a special dining compensation program through Resy). Brittany was our server, and fantastic. We started with the martini espresso and a cappuccino heavy on the foam. My friend ordered the tender pulled beef short ribs with pan roasted potatoes that came topped with perfectly fried eggs. I ordered the shrimp and grits with eggs over easy. The grits were so creamy and wonderfully hot, temperature hot not spicy, and the shrimp came flavored in a sauce that is hard to describe but very easy to eat. Conversation was possible because it wasn't too loud and the seating was fantastic, not tight or packed together, and there was in fact a really wonderful covered patio space outside complete with attractive center table and decor of lights. For her birthday there was a lemon ricotta cheesecake that was perfectly doused in cherry sauce with optional Graham powder crust circling the moist and light cheesecake. Came with a sparkler which made for the perfect occasion to take a birthday photo. And even complementary many pours of champagne to toast. I don't know if there's a better place to dine in Bothell. Make a reservation and then expect to be impressed by both the food and the service. We were. Thanks Brittany for making the occasion such a memorable one.

Our waitress came over to take our order and when we got our drinks, we were checked once again and was notified our food was coming shortly. Food arrived fresh, hot, and delicious! All in all, giving The Cottage another chance after I've been coming here for years before the takeout experience has reminded me the quality of customer service and food stayed the same pre-Covid and post-Covid. Thank you to Madison and the wonderful staff!

My boyfriend and I stopped by here after a long drive from Kent as we are staying at a nearby hotel…read morefor a convention and it was pretty late so most places were closed. I had Dawa on my bookmarks for a long time ever since I saw videos about it and just the overall good reviews. We came in and saw that the place was pretty packed on a Thursday night but we were noticed quickly by a male employee and seated right away thankfully. Once we were seated, we were handed water and utensils as well as directions on how we can order as they have a small kiosk. We put in our order of galbi fried chicken, pork on the bone stew or gamjatang, and grilled pork belly. Once the order was entered, our waiter came back with rice, banchan, sauces and accompaniments for the pork belly, salad (think it comes with the grilled pork belly), pickled radish for the chicken and plates and bowls to share. It didn't take too long for food to come back but it didn't all come together which was odd but luckily the chicken was for sharing. The gamjatang was huge and pretty good, not as good as one of my favorite places in Federal Way but I will admit that they do give some huge pieces of meat and offer a one time refill of the soup. It could use more of a kick and more seasoning. The chicken as many others have mentioned was extremely well-fried, marinated and extremely huge. I do think they have the biggest Korean fried chicken pieces that I have ever seen in Washington. The meat was juicy, the outside was crunchy, and the sauce was heavenly. My boyfriend did say the grilled pork belly was some of the best he has ever had in his life, which is super high praise and I will admit that it is very good as well! They had an interesting playlist ranging from K-pop to regular pop (lots of Justin Bieber) and sometimes they would tone it down a bit then start blasting it. The two male servers working that day (7/16/26) were fantastic about checking in at perfect times, were courteous and refilled our waters. We never had to use to kiosk to call them once which I appreciated very much. My boyfriend and I look forward to coming back and definitely want to give a heads up that their portions are huge so come hungry!

My group and I ordered the Korean fried chicken and the kimchi pancake to start. The appetizers didn't take that long to come out. Everything came out hot and fresh. The chicken was standard fried chicken size and came with 10 pieces. It came with 2 pieces of drumsticks and the rest were chicken thighs. The kimchi pancake was super crispy. We also ordered the beef tofu soup and the chicken bulgogi entree. The tofu soup was a lot - it did not come with an egg unlike other spots. The chicken entree was flavorful overall.
