Spicy pork
Naomi I.

Miso is a small cute Korean restaurant with a variety of dishes. There are about 4 parking stalls in the front. We ordered fried rice, 2 different tofu soups, spicy pork and seafood pancake for lunch. The girl at the counter was very sweet. They do not accept cash so bring your cards! It took a while for the food to come out but it looks like there is one ajumma cooking everything alone. Banchan consisted of shoyu potato, Kim chee, bean sprouts and macaroni salad. Our food came out in a timely manner and everything was delicious. Prices were kinda on the high side but we enjoyed our meal. We were the only ones seated there for dine in on a Tuesday but they did have several take out orders picked up. Love supporting local businesses!!

combo general taos and chicken teriyaki

I ordered combo general tao and chicken teriyaki and mainly disappointed on general taos bc it didn't taste like it. it's little salty taste with dashida flavor. portion with generous amount. but this didn't came with side salad as other teriyaki shop I'm used too.

Came in on a Saturday and was greeted right away by the friendly owners. We went with the Tofu Soup, Japche & Kalbi. We wanted to try their Korean Fried Chicken, but they were out. We chose our seats & shortly after, we were served cups and a jug of water. We were quite happy about the jug since we drink a ton of water! Then came the Japche (noodles). It was still steaming from the wok. The tofu soup was bubbling all the way to our table. The first sip I took, I was in love. The kalbi was next! The flavor and the tenderness made me say, I'm definitely coming back for more. The banchan (side dishes) were simple but all delicious. The service was great! Overall food and experience, 5 stars! Can't wait to come back to try their other dishes on the menu!

Located in the former Wanna Burger and Teriyaki storefront, Chef Korea Miso is a casual Korean place that just opened in late September 2023. It's a welcome addition to Highland Park/White Center, where there aren't many Korean options! We stopped in on opening day for dinner. The menu is somewhat small but has the basics: bibimbap (not dolsot), bulgogi, soondobu, japchae, tteokkbokki and even Korean fried chicken. They also have teriyaki chicken, probably to avoid the wrath of people who come in expecting the previous teriyaki joint! The inside looks nice and clean and has been freshly repainted. There are a few tables to sit and eat, but it looked like most people (including us) were getting takeout. It looks like a mom-and-pop place run by a small family, and the guy behind the counter was friendly and pleasant. I got the spicy pork soondobu ($15), and it was pretty hot! A solid 3-star spice level for sure. It came with rice and two banchan - kimchi and cucumber kimchi. It was a large portion and a good value for the price. My dining companion got the bulgogi chef box ($25), which was like a bento box with salad, rice and two banchan. He finished his easily and said it didn't feel like it was worth the price. The quality was fine, not the best, but I recognize that they're brand new and want to give them some time to work out the kinks. In general, the prices do seem high - you could pay the same prices for a really good sit-down place in Lynnwood or Federal Way AND get lots more banchan! But the soondobu, dupbop rice bowls, and bibimbap are all in the $15-ish range, which feels right for casual takeout. This would be a good place for a quick lunch, and I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

We were so happy to see this place open in the neighborhood! As soon as we could, we went in to check it out. I do want to start by explaining right up front the reason I'm giving it three stars and not more. While a lot of the menu items seemed self-explanatory (like "Grilled vegi salad"), a lot were not at all (like "Dduboki"). Maybe a lot of folks already know what to expect when ordering Dduboki or Japchae or Bibimbob or Dupbop, but surely we're not the only ones who have no idea what those things are. And the chalk drawings on the menu didn't really help. So we were at bit of a loss for what to order. I tried to ask for more information on a couple of things, but the person who helped us didn't seem to understand what I was asking, so since I had seen a photo of the crispy pancake online, we ordered that. On the plus side, that pancake was really good! Hopefully everything on the menu is just as tasty, because we'd really like to go back and try a few more items. But I'd really encourage the owner to provide either photos, or some kind of description that clarifies what to expect from the various dishes, or I'm afraid people may give up when they can't figure out what to order. If not, they are restricting their clientele to people who are already familiar with the cuisine, and surely they'd benefit from a wide audience, especially in such an out-of-the-way location.

Veggie tofu soup and seafood pajeon
Monica M.

Tried this place a week after they opened. I couldn't wait because I have been wanting a Korean restaurant in the neighborhood for years. Seeing Pajeon on the menu got me super excited and it did not disappoint! Also tried the tofu soup - I requested mild on the advice of the cashier and it was still spicy enough to clear my sinuses, but mild enough to be able to taste the broth. Items are a little pricey but worth it since it saves me gas and time - don't need to go to the ID/Lynnwood/FedWay now when I have a sudden craving. Service was quick and the complimentary tea was much appreciated. It's a great quick lunch or takeout dinner spot and I hope they stick around!

Bibimbap and banchan
Angelina S.

My mother is Korean and I miss mom cooking from time to time and before her stroke I would just have her feed me. After, I generally have to drive to Lynnwood or Federal Way for good Korean. I live in West Seattle and when I heard there was going to be a Korean restaurant, I was a little skeptical. But Friday I ran and grabbed Bibimbap. I am a very happy girl. The banchan was almost as good as mom's and ajjumma was very sweet, her English is limited so don't think she's being rude. Go and try the food. It's like having a big hug.

KFC spicy but not so spicy but so good
Qiong S.

Very good Korean food! The seafood pancake is one of the best I've ever tried! The fried chicken is so good as well. Can't wait to try other things!

Beef Bulgogi -  took the photo after I ate half!
Jason H.

Excellent family recipes. The beef bulgogi was tender and flavorful. Egg rolls were crispy and taste good. Veggie fried rice was a good portion and tasted great.

The food is amazing, pork katsu, ribs, gyoza and veg pancake all super delicious. Very friendly family owned business. Place is clean and well run. I'll be back! Highly recommend.

Analyn U.

This is my happy place. Soft tofu soup with seafood and a seafood pancake are my favorites. The wings are really good too, I've heard.

Customer service was solid, and the food is really good. This place is a hidden treasure that more people should visit. I'll need to come back to try the Japchae.

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.

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.

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.
