    K Kitchen in Lacey has delicious Korean food. The banchan sides were delicious. Everything was really good, but I really loved the Japchae, Bulgogi, and Korean Fried Chicken. We also tried the pork belly and the kimbap. I also got a delicious iced K coffee. Yum on a hot day! A small place but very clean. The woman working the front desk is very nice and very attentive. It is expensive, but we will be back especially for the Japche and fried chicken.

    I was nervous at first but ended up impressed. Stopped here after a dr appointment on a random because we didn't know what to eat. Loved it!

    Short ribs

    The short ribs was the best! Stir fried pork was also very good. Ill be returning from Seattle

    Fried spring rolls

    First time trying this place and had high expectations based on the reviews - was slightly disappointed. The interior is clean and cute, with good menu options (though a bit pricey). I had the gyoza ramen special which is not on the menu, and fried spring rolls. My mom had the bulgogi and rice, with mozzarella sticks. My ramen was not bad but also wasn't great... it was just ok. The spring rolls were good though! My mom asked for teriyaki sauce with her bulgogi and never got it - possibly the waitress didn't understand due to a language barrier. She said the mozzarella sticks were good. All in all, I don't think I'd go back just because it was only "ok" and there are so many other amazing places to eat in the area.

    I have come back a few times since my initial review. They have added Korean Fried Chicken to the menu! Although...I haven't tried it because the prices are a little high. I find their bulgogi portion to be smaller and more expensive than Korean restaurants up north in Pierce County. The flavor is good. They also do not refill the banchan. There are a few other Korean spots in Lacey, so not too much competition. This one is probably a little more modern. The place is small inside, and is usually pretty busy when I have gone. Staff is nice, generally just drop off your food and let you stay. Customer service varies. Overall decent spot.

    Bibimbap and Seafood pancake

    Pros: authentic Korean food, good quality food, staff is friendly, parking is easy Cons: slightly pricey, staff is very friendly but slow

    I am Korean and this is the best Korean food I have ever had. This is better than some of the restaurants I've had in Seoul. Who knew you could find Korean food like this in Lacey.

    Wanted to give the place a try. So glad we did. Service was very friendly and speedy. Had waters and menu almost immediately after sitting down. Studied the menu and placed our orders. In a few minutes our appetizers and sides arrived. Really enjoyed the fish cakes and kimchi. Soon our mains arrived. Definitely do not starve here. We each could only eat half of our meals so we get to have done more tommorrow!!! Excellent value for the money.

    Banchan and kimbap
    Myra M.

    Our new favorite Korean restaurant! We have tried the beef bulgogi, kimbap, rice cakes and spicy pork. Everything is very delicious and the staff are always so friendly and accommodating. The place is a bit small but nice and clean. I will say, it is quite pricey though

    Dirty dishes. Piece of metal wire from cleaning brush was found in my soup halfway into eating it. Got a free credit for soup because of it and when I came to recieve it, they denied me...

    Great food, ample portions and a HUGE variety of sides. Been here a few times and everything has been great but this was definitely picture worthy! Service was quick but to be fair I came in just after open so beat the crowd. It did get pretty busy by the time I left

    Banchon (side dishes)
    Barbara D.

    I had the KFC with spicy barbecue sauce on the side. The chicken was freshly cooked for me and the ban Chan were delicious and plentiful. I really felt welcome by the woman running the front of house, and she delighted in feeding me. The first I didn't realize that the KFC came with the Bonchon, but she explained it to me and I had enough to take home for a second meal.

    Bulgogi kimbap, delicious side, miso soup, and tea!

    Amazing authentic Korean comfort food…read more Food is always so delicious staff is friendly and welcoming, area is clean. We have tried: - Seafood pancake - veggie pancake - chicken bulgogi - spicy pork bulgogi - spicy squid bulgogi - beef bulgogi - all the banchan And everything is a 5/5, soooo good. Service is great they're always friendly. Now, the ONLY downside is their ridiculously expensive prices . ($20+ per dish) We still go here but just not as often due to their prices. Besides that, I highly recommend this place.

    Yummy food but oh so pricey! I ordered takeout through the…read morephone for my first visit because I was interested in the lunch specials that were offered. Unfortunately, I was looking at an outdated menu on Yelp, so the spicy tofu soup is no longer on the lunch specials, AND if you want a "lunch special," it needs to be specified when placing the order. I assumed that because it was lunch time, I would be paying the lunch pricing? That wasn't the case when I arrived. Parking seems to only be on the same side as the barber shop (which i think is connected to the restaurant as well?). When I walked in, I didn't really check out the place. Seems like a classic no-frills Korean restaurant. An ajumma (아줌마) appeared at the register after a couple seconds (lol that is the first description that came to mind). I informed her of my phone order and she brought out the food and rang me up for around $55? I was thinking, yikes, that's a steep price for a spicy tofu soup and a lunch special of the galbi and mentioned it to her. She told me that the portion made is not the lunch special and next time, make sure to specify that over the phone if I want the Lunch special or dinner portion. She clarified, while acting out the mannerisms, of customers that would complain about the Lunch special, because they would want a dinner portion instead, so she just places general orders as the dinner portion. (I can already imagine the Karens she must have received for her reaction, which is understandable, but at the time, I was just slightly irritated since I was hoping to pay a cheaper price.) I am assuming after this experience, there is a difference in portion size for the lunch and dinner pricing.. Besides the miscommunication, I can at least say that the food was prepared quickly since it was ready by the time I arrived at the restaurant (about 15 mins after I placed the order?). With the outcast weather, I was craving some soondubu, and Seoul Garden definitely delivered! The tofu portions were generous and the broth was the right amount of spicy where you can taste the flavor but it is not overwhelming. I was not expecting so many complementary sides either! They paired very well with the rice and galbi, which was thoroughly marinated in a delectable glaze. Even though I was initially frustrated that I received the dinner portion, I calmed down after eating the galbi. My son and I actually ended up devouring it.. the food was so good, I totally forgot about the pricing at the moment. Just keep in mind though, this place is not advertised as KBBQ, so you're paying for individual plates/dishes/orders that should already be cooked. I would only recommend this restaurant if there are certain staples you really enjoy (i.e. you're only craving bulgogi but don't want to go out to eat or grill it), because it is arguably just as expensive as KBBQ. But if you're a foodie that can afford it, I'd suggest stopping by to try it out yourself! :)

    I recently visited Bulgogi Hustle for the first time after work with my boss. We were both starving…read moresince we hadn't really eaten all day and were craving something Asian. This spot happened to pop up as a nearby Google recommendation, so we decided to give it a try. Maybe it was the hunger talking, but the food tasted **absolutely spectacular** for something so simple! I ordered the K-Town Combo, which comes with two proteins, japchae, lettuce, and rice with curry all layered nicely in a bowl. I chose bulgogi and marinated pork with the Hot spice level, and everything sat on top of the lettuce, japchae noodles, and curry rice with a drizzle of sauce. It was seriously so good--flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what I needed after a long day. The restaurant itself is very small, with just a handful of tables that look like wooden benches, and there's no restroom, so it definitely feels more like a quick casual spot than a full sit-down restaurant. When we arrived around 6:30 PM, the place was empty, and we ended up chatting and eating until around 8:30 PM when they were about to close. It never got overly busy, though a few customers came in and out throughout the evening, so it seems like a pretty casual, low-key vibe. One thing that did throw me off was finding the place. I came from the direction of the roundabout and somehow struggled to spot it--maybe I was just tired. Parking wasn't too bad overall, but I think I may have approached from the wrong direction when I tried to park in front. I'll be honest--I didn't really pay attention to the cleanliness because I was too focused on enjoying the food. I didn't get sick and I left feeling full and happy, so overall I'd say it was a great experience. My only real gripe was how difficult it was for me to find, but the food alone makes me want to come back and try more from the menu.

    Got the asada fries that consists of mostly fries...barely any meats there, which is what you pay…read morefor. Little condiments given, which sucks, because that is what makes the whole meal...saved it, even. Also got the Korean burrito, which was soooo deep fried that the taste of the breading overtook whatever the filling was supposed to taste like. The fried breading was so overdone that it hurt my teeth to bite through and chew it. The staff also had no wrapping foil to use, so they put it in a cup? Bro, WHAT?! I can barely get this thing out of the cup to eat. It was so bad. Genuinely. Maybe it is on me for trying to give a chance to Asian food in Lacey. No need to. Prove myself wrong on my preconceived notions. But, would not visit here again unless it is for the spicy mayonnaise mustard whatever condiment. Only good thing from this whole restaurant. Staff is also so lost in the sauce that you have to reiterate your order. Very small restaurant with not much parking. Only like 3 tables with 2 chairs each, so better to take to-go so you could eat elsewhere... maybe at a nearby park or something. No motion in this restaurant, fr

Sister had to do some groceries and she mentioned going for Korean and getting seafood pancake. Hmm salad, Korean seafood pancake. Let's go. Love the shopping plaza Gangnam is in as it has other international businesses here. Oh yay, real Koreans, annyeonghaseyo! We never grill for ourselves as I mess it up and it never tastes the same so traditional dining for us. Sister says she has to have seafood pancake but as a family we decided on set A. While waiting we had tea. And to my delight, it was rice tea. So I know this place is fo' real. Tea wasn't too hot and so we were able to sip it right away. And for summer, it's a bit cooler so the warmth of the tea was really comforting. First main dish that came out was the fried mackerel. Not that I'm an expert in this but 10-days going through S Korea and getting to experience the local cuisine for each province, this was bringing back great memories of our trip. Since we didn't have anyone to clean our fish, I was more than happy to clean the bones from the fish. Very little bones and so we were able to eat the fish easily without worrying about choking on it. Everything was so good. So much food. As for lunches, never a fan of it, but my sister enjoyed it and said it was good kind of spicy. Two kinds of broccoli, the one noticeably broccoli was seasoned well and I ate that up. The other broccoli was thinly sliced stems that was pickled with jalapeños. I bit too vinegary for me. But I pretty much finished up all the other banchan. The other main dishes of bulgogi and japchae dos not disappoint. The ladies that served us were so sweet and helpful. Told my sister that every year we visit, Gangnam is a must. Oh and price, the meal set A at $49, very reasonable.
