Revel is a great spot for a unique dining experience for modern Korean food. The service was wonderful, and we enjoyed the dishes we ordered. We got the short rib wontons, kimchi pancake, Dungeness crab noodle, and Korean fried chicken. My favorites were the short rib wontons and Korean fried chicken! The wontons were in a delicious chili sauce, and the fried chicken was crisp and marinated well. Personally I felt like the Dungeness crab noodle was just okay, I wish there were more crab pieces. Portions for the dishes overall are pretty small, so the restaurant is pretty pricey overall. For dessert we ordered the basque hojicha cheesecake and really liked it! The cheesecake had a nutty flavor and good texture with the crust. Our server kindly provided us an extra dessert, the panna cotta. This dessert was really light and refreshing - a perfect complement. Overall I really enjoyed the experience at revel. There's a couple standout dishes and service was great. The menu is a bit pricy, but I'm interested in checking out the Sunday night dinner pre fixe meal. read more

Food: Everything was slightly sweet but had good flavor. My favorite was the Napa cabbage, it had a slightly smoky taste. The Dungeness crab noodles were the most disappointing because the whole dish was too sweet and the minimal amount of crab was too salty. The lemonade was too sour. Service: The service was great and everyone was attentive. Ambiance: The restaurant is very hipster and invites a younger crowd. read more

Stumbled upon this place , unexpectedly. The restaurant has a cool hip vibe , very open layout. Good energy ! The food is the star . We ordered the tuna rice bowl, dumplings, Chinese broccoli and the chicken rice cakes. Every dish was full of flavor . Don't forget they have a sauce station , you can fill a little to go cup with 4 different sauces to try out- they are all delicious. The servers are very friendly and attentive. The restaurant was busy and full but it didn't feel chaotic - like I said good energy! Don't miss out on this spot! I was so eager to dive into the food I forgot to take photos! That's a great sign. read more

Food was refreshing. Pancake wasn't too carb-y, and the sauces were very unique and delicious. I would say the kimchi was a bit more aged than I'd like but still very good. Service was good too, but the fact that they automatically added 22% tip didn't sit well with me, personally. Ambiance was good too. I sat outdoors, and for end-of-may weather in Seattle, it was just perfect. Would recommend, but don't expect to get the OG Korean experience. I would categorize this modern Korean-fusion, than traditional Korean meal. read more

I get that it's not a cheap place. But for the price they are charging, the portions are insanely small especially for the appetizers. And it's not any mind blowing good either. But the desserts are cheap and great. Especially the cheesecake. Also they add 22% service charge. Cool no problem. But for 22% extra charge, I don't want to be flagging down our server for everytime we need her. We also got the wrong check with double charges at the end. Thank god we checked read more

One of my favorite restaurant in Seattle! We always try as many dishes as possible, and everything is always amazing! Definitely deserves a 5 read more

I'm not sure why Revel isn't rated higher, but don't let that deter you from an unforgettable experience. You know you're in for a fun experience when you can see the chefs going to work during your meal, and the gang are absolute magicians here. Be careful though, even walking by the house-made hot sauce bar will make you tear up. Small plates are the specialty here, and you will notice that not a single detail is missed. Chinese broccoli doesn't sound like an exciting meal, but the dish is incredibly flavorful and a textural experience. The little chestnuts mixed in there pack a punch. Who would have even thought of combining those with broccoli? The kimchi pancake is a must-have. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, I would come here for this alone. Revel has really mastered the art of textural contrast in food. And those crab noodles? They taste like you're swimming through a pool of buttery crab. Every dish I had here was elite, and sitting at the bar while watching the cooks made it awesome. read more

We stumbled into this restaurant at 8:30 pm on a Friday with a 6 person group and they were able to accommodate us! We shared about 7 dishes family style. First, the short rib wontons were the best I've ever had... the sauce that the wontons were in was phenomenal (we ended up getting multiple orders). The crab noodles were delicious ... the noodles were cooked perfectly Al Dante and the big pieces of crab were very flavorful. We shared the steak and it had incredibly flavorful. The only thing we didn't care much for was the kimchi cake, it was dry and flavor was lacking. I can't wait to come here again... the food was so good.. I would definitely recommend this restaurant read more

Revel is my favorite restaurant in Fremont. I've been coming here for a decade and their Dungeness Crab Noodle is still a briny and creamy treat.

Revel - House Kimchi, Dungeness Crab Noodle - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

a casual korean asian fusion dinner spot that feels fancier than casual. as you walk up, the outside is very simple and elegant. inside was an open concept, we sat at 'bar' seating which was a table in the bar area. we had a preset menu for valentine's day, so our food was picked and brought out to us in courses. we were served each course timely and hot as our servers were managing our meal. it was nice to try basically every specialty dish they had. the food itself was so delicious! cannot wait to go back and try other items they might have on the menu. -black sesame bing bread: so fluffy like air and with the hint of sesame made it refreshing. caviar was an amazing addition to the crème fraiche. -sichuan pork belly: a hot one, mix well! the spice may get you, but this was also a great start for crunchy, savory, and light. -short rib wontons: my highlight dish! loaded with flavors and juicy meat. soft and chewy, melt in your mouth yummy. wish i had white rice with this dish. -dungeness crab noodle: chunks of crab in this dish, along with flavorful ginger. the uniqueness of how the noodle was cooked threw me off. it was not as chewy or as soft as i thought it would be. -coulotte steak tataki: big serving of meat, with light sauce underneath. -creamed spinach: reminded me of a japanese side dish gomae, just a little sweeter. so very home-y taste for me. -paper love cake: the guava was a great touch to the pistachio sponge to end the dinner. read more

The food was subpar for the prices. Not pictured was the corn salad that was difficult to eat with chopsticks. The trout had bones and was super oily. The fried chicken was the highlight but a small plate. Kimchi sampler had very little seasoning or flavor. The service was an older woman who made us feel like we needed to impress her, a New York not in a good way vibe. Outdoor patio was nice but had a lot of flies. I appreciate the concept and aesthetics but the food and service were subpar. read more

A tasty little spot in Fremont. I believe it's pretty hard to get a last minute table here, so we really lucked out at the early end of dinner times. -The short rib wontons were just as tasty as we had heard. Do not pass these up. -The Dungeness crab noodle was also very delicious and a different enough experience from the wontons to work really well together as a share. -Lastly, we had the ribs. Sticky and delicious and perhaps my favorite flavor of the meal. The cocktails are lovely as well. read more

I grabbed dinner here with a friend after a long work day; we arrived right before the end of happy hour and were easily able to grab a table for two. My cocktail was fine - but the real star here was the food! The menu is mean to share and the dishes come out as they ready. We opted for the short rib dumplings, the fish, and the sticky ribs. The dumplings were the real star of the show - filled well, spicy, and just so delicious! The fish was the real surprise of the meal - it was hearty, but light and fresh. The veggies it came with and fresh herbs were so satisfying. Finally, the ribs were delicious, don't get me wrong; however, they are definitely a lot of work, as the meat isn't "fall of the bone" ribs. So, prepared to get messy and put in a bit of work to enjoy them. Overall, service was good - food was great! read more

I went here to celebrate my partner's birthday. The ambiance and service was okay. This place does charge a 22% surcharge, which is higher than I would have liked, and would have tipped. Keep that in mind if you go. We ordered the Steamed Bun w/ Chicken Bulgogi, Spicy Wontons, and Short Rib w/ Rice. We received an order of the Kimchi Pancake for free for my partners birthday which was a nice touch. The steamed bun was mostly pickled onion, no real taste of meat. I ended up using the sauce they served with it to cover the taste. The wontons were great, very nice touch with peanuts. The Kimchi pancake left a lot to be desired. I'm not sure why this is the hottest item at this location, it was mediocre. The Short Rib orders were extremely fatty. They cut up half of the rib for you, but each piece was arguably a third or more in fat. They gave you the bones as well, but again, fat. Extremely chewy and would not order again. The Kale was underdressed and the flavor did not mix well. Overall, probably wouldn't come back and probably would not suggest it to a friend. read more

Revel - Short Rib Rice - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We had a later reservation for Revel and our large group was seated quickly. The short rib from the short rib rice plate was absolutely amazing, but the mustard greens, daikon, and rice felt more like fillers to put on the plate and more on the just okay side. When I took a bite with everything combined, it was good but I preferred just eating the short rib alone. The service was also rather sporadic and the food did take a good amount of time to come out. While I really loved the short rib, I'm not sure I would go out of my way to return to Revel. read more

Revel - Short Rib Rice - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Mmm years after Revel has stayed consistent and their staple menu Dungeness Crab Noodle and the short rib rice hits the spot one small change was that they no longer do the short rib in a bowl but in a plate now with the rice on the side and NO YOLK!!!!! I was so sad to see this change, while the cured yolk rice bowl option (which is amazing even though i dont usually like egg yolks) is still available for the albacore tuna rice bowl, during my entire meal i was reminiscing about the short rib rice bowl with the yolk.. yall their lettuce is glazed in the perfect sauce, the ggak doo gi (raddish gimchi) is like perfectly lightly fermented and sweet (i love it even though im usually a fan of more fermented kimchi), the cured yolk just blends the tender short rib and rhe rice and all the veggies together creating a heavenly flavor.. ah. The short rib also changed and i think the portion got a bit smaller, in the past there was no bone just meat chunks :( i really felt the inflation in my last visit. I just really miss the old short rib bowl with the yolk man.. that could really help me get through any tough week. But yeah i was here for my friends birthday and the staff were super friendly despite us staying almost 2 hours for our meal catching up and eating by not kicking us out and also giving us a complimentary ube birthday dessert. It was yummy. We also ordered the pandan basque cheesecake and of course that was amazing as well. Revel has changed locations so many times since i first started coming here but its amazing how they managed to keep the vibe pretty similar. Cozy. Although my favorite will always be the first spot ;) read more

Revel - Short Rib Rice - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We ordered three mains and an appetizer. The food was OK, but certainly not worth the price. Everything was much too greasy. The kimchi pancake could have soaked 4 paper towels with oil. The braised cod and noodles with tofu were swimming in puddles of oil. Even with those drawbacks, the food tasted OK except for the tuna rice bowl, which was truly bland. Nothing in it tasted like much except portion of cabbage kimchi, which was downright awful if you have ever had kimchi from a proper Korean restaurant or made it yourself. One part of our table was against a window where they had put two place settings, but only one had any back support. And the prices were much too high for either the portion size or the quality. It's unfortunate because I've been reading about Revel for the last 20 years and was excited to finally give it a try, but it's not worth a return visit. read more

I've always loved this place, but today's inaugural Sunday dinner series meal was truly exceptional! The meal started with a light and fresh papaya salad, progressed into dan dan noodles, and crescendo'ed with chicken bulgogi accompanied by the most incredible pea vine and radish salad. Phenomenal, from the first bite to the last. Pro tip, if you like spicy food, definitely try the firewater sauce from the sauce bar (by the end, I was just drinking it, it was that amazing). 10/10, no notes, will be back. read more

Revel - Chicken bulgogi - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

To be honest I'm usually skeptical of restaurants that are mashing together styles like this. Fusion has long been a buzzword in the food world. However, Revel nails it completely. Exhibit A: The rice cakes with spicy romesco, curried pork and dandelion greens. Perfectly cooked rice cakes with a creamy and slightly spicy romesco sauce. The curried pork adds more to this flavor bomb. The fats and spice brought into balance with the bitterness of the dandelion greens. Exhibit B: The short rib wontons with garlic crunch in a chili oil. Pefectly cooked short rib inside perfectly cooked wontons mixed with a chili oil that brought some nice heat to the party without overtaking flavors. The garlic crunch provided a nice textural contrast to the soft wontons and meat. Service was excellent. Drink list is not large, but plenty of options that pair well with the food. Despite the costly Uber from downtown, it was worth it. Next time I'm in town I will come back for sure. Logistics: Online ordering via Toast at https://order.toasttab.com/online/revel-seattle.

Wanted to like this place but honestly the food was pretty average for a $100+ bill with no alcohol. Came here and shared a couple plates with another person. Reservations were made but didn't really need them since it was early evening. Food wise, we got the kimchi sampler, kimchi pancake, dunguness noodles and the rice cakes. I'll be honest and say everything is really salty. The kimchi didn't really have a lot of variety or flavor between the four varieties. It felt like the same just across four different vegetables. Would have been nice if they did two kimchi and some pickled veggies with different flavor profiles. Kimchi pancakes seemed a flat riff off of okonomiyaki with the bonito flakes they added. The dunguness noodles were okay. The crab wasn't too apparent and the noodles got a little hard to separate. The rices cake dish was probably the only dish that was decent and even then, really salty. I took it home for left overs and had water down the sauce and add stuff to it. This place could be good but isn't right now. Ambiance is good though! Pretty quiet in the restaurant so great for date night. read more

We celebrated a birthday here last week and found the service to be excellent, and the food to be mostly quite nice. Exception was the Chinese broccoli which was tough and flavorless and crab noodles which was just not special in any way, not enough crab, bland taste. Trout was excellent as was the pancake and also we loved the dumplings. It is noisy and lively, which is sometimes just what you want. read more

The food was a hit or miss. It is a modern Korean restaurant with cool art hanging on the walls. I enjoy Korean food but this might have been too modern for me. The beef short rib was definitely higher quality beef but only getting one piece of the short rib, did not feel worth it. I'm use to Korean short rib coming with multiple strips of the meat on the bone. And it was the best thing we ate. The pork belly had too much going on. There was a bean like paste that threw off the texture for me specifically with the japche (glass noodles). The crab pasta was good. It just fell a bit too salty. The service was very attentive and helped us get the extra spicy chilis to elevate the spice level. read more

Had a reservation for 6 people at 8 pm on a Friday night and had to wait for our table for over 20 minutes. I understand there's not much they can do since there were customers taking their time but it was still a bummer. The drinks were pretty good and average prices. The rice cakes and wontons were the standouts for me, but make sure to eat it all there because the rice cakes don't keep their texture very long if you have leftovers. The tuna rice bowl was underwhelming. My friend loved their singleness crab pasta! Overall it was decent but there are other options I would go back to first. read more

I was very excited to try Revel because I love Korean or Asian fusion food. I was so disappointed. Service was absolutely wonderful. Very attentive. Easy reservation method. The downfall is the food and cost. I would say I am a connoisseur of Korean and this did not hit. The kimchi plate was interesting with traditional napa cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, fennel kimchi and a seasonal mustard greens and peach. They were okay - not my favorite kimchi. Didn't taste vinegary enough. Their kimchi pancake was such a miss. It was kinda soggy in the middle when I'm used to very crispy ones. Also, they must prep it on parchment paper because there were burnt bits of the paper still stuck to it not so savory. Lastly, I got the Strawberry Swing cocktail and it literally tasted like children's cough syrup. I had to add water and chug it It's very vibe forward and forgot the finer details. Like good tasting food. And delicious cocktails. The vibe is magnificent but it's such a miss because the food. It's a limited menu so everything should be bomb delicious. The short rib wontons were decent. And the only sorta saving grace. Previous people mentioned a 4% surcharge and that didn't happen when we came. So can't complain about that. But I do expect a little better for a near $100 meal. read more

Revel - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I cannot say enough fantastic things about this place. 1) open Mondays in Seattle (hard to find these days) 2) takes reservations 3) incredible cocktails 4) great patio 5) exquisite service 6) consistently inventive menu...? The list goes on, but I'll pause there for a deep dive into recent experiences. I've been to Revel three times for dinner this summer, each time taking guests in from out of town. All have been tricky eaters and have been perplexed by the menu but I've assured them that despite not being familiar with kimchi or gojuchang, they'd be wowed by what was served -- and I was correct each time. I was last at Revel for dinner this week, with the pickiest of eaters (my parents) and our server was more than gracious to walk them through the menu and describe what might suit their palates. I insisted we get the cold tofu as an app (trust me -- it's soooo good), and then the table shared three dishes. My mainstay (the Dungeness crab noodle) did not disappoint, though I think we were all in agreement that the vegetarian dish we ordered, a lobster mushroom paella, was the winner. The dish came out on an authentic paella pan; the rice was fried and crispy; the flavors were just right. We supplemented with Revel's array of table sauces (my favorite is the savory miso paste!) and were practically licking our plates. read more

Ok experience - had an amazing time a few years ago they are no t as on the game as there were. Nice wines. Service needs some work.

I would return for the noodles, the drinks, and the kind service! Definitely make reservations online or calling. I tried online and they said they were booked until after 8:30pm but when I called they had a spot earlier for the two of us on a Saturday evening. We started off with two drinks, all looked amazing! The food is shareable small plates. They recommend at least 3 dishes to share. We started with our favorite, the short rib wontons, followed by the handmade Dungeness crab noodles, and ended with the pork belly wraps. We finished the meal with what my spouse calls the best cheesecake she's ever had! The coconut cheesecake with yuzu caramel. Unfortunately they're switching the dessert off their menu. Overall, try it first a date night, try their mixed drinks, share some food, and enjoy good music in the background! read more

I wanted to check this place out after seeing Anthony Bourdain's Seattle episode. We got there early (5:00) and the place was nearly empty and we were immediately seated and served. For our party of 5, we ordered all 5 of the 'Revel Favorites' and shared them. All were delicious. We killed the Short Rib Wontons (I meant to order a second helping) in short order. The Kimchi Pancake, Tuna Rice Bowl and Short Rib Rice Plate all were absolutely delicious. But I must say, the Dungeness Crab Noodle was my favorite. So creamy and delicious. It nearly brought a tear to my eye. These dishes were all created with skill and love. So glad we ate here. read more

The food is always fantastic here but I have been a longtime fan of this restaurant since 2017, and I have noticed that the portions have been getting smaller and smaller here. Also, the cocktails were crazy overpriced. I work in the industry so I know what things typically cost. I ordered an old fashioned with Suntory Toki whiskey which was listed on the Captain's List for 10$. Now I understand, as a bartender, it is customary for bars to add a small up charge for a cocktail, usually between $2 to $6 dollars. Revel charges 9$ to add bitter and simple syrup to whiskey! This just feels excessive to charge 19$ for a drink that should have been approximately 14$. The same thing was done to my girlfriend's drink, it was a 12$ up charge. Not to mention that they have instituted a 22% "service charge" this is not considered a tip, and the server only receives 14% of this fee. The whole experience felt very shady, I don't mind splurging on great food, and a great experience, while also taking care of my server, but this simply felt like I was being taken advantage of. I don't care how good the food is I will never be back here since my trust in this establishment has been eroded. Really disappointed in this business, since it used to be one of my favorite places. read more

I'm always hesitant to write a negative review but I rely on yelp to choose restaurants... I've eaten at Revel four times and rave about it to friends. I'm always recommending it to people. Unfortunately my last visit was disappointing. Actually, if this had been my first visit I wouldn't be going back The kimchi pancake was mushy and wet. It came out in what looked like a cast iron skillet and looked charred but it was soggy. The aesthetic didn't match the well done appearance The papaya salad was truly uneditable. Seriously. Every papaya salad Ive ever had is shredded. Now I know why. This was pieces of papaya that were cut like peeling an apple or carrot. Big flat shavings ... it was chewy and literally hard to consume. Hard to bite and swallow. The rice cake dish was overwhelming salty with a strange combination of ingredients. I understand it's fusion but, rice cake with what appeared to be pork belly, fresh sugar snap peas and shrimp? The sauce appeared to be rendered down to a gooey texture as though it was slightly burned. Rice cake, seafood, pork, sugar snap peas ... none of it seemed to blend or complement each other. Why green veggies with a dark salty reduction ... The kimchi sampler was really good The cocktails were really good as well The short rib wonton was really good but the portion seemed to be downsized but I could be wrong This isn't new but the tables are so close together that when people come and go next to you it's impossible not to touch the table next to you with your rear end or worse your front side. It's uncomfortable for everyone. Also, major confusion over a dish at the table next to us. They brought it out and took it back as it was cross contaminated and then said they were wrong and wasn't ? They kept offering it to the table for free ... after they walked away the diners were not happy. Another table was complaining how long their food took. They offered something same but ultimately blamed the customer for ordering off the menu? Dessert was a tea cake with pineapple (I think it was described as pineapple sludge or something .... Sounded really good and simple. It came with popcorn on top and what appeared to be corn flakes inside ... again ... fusion but really just strange combinations. Instant recall popcorn or cornflakes on the description but I could be wrong Maybe just a bad night but too many dishes were disappointing for what was $189 for two people with two cocktails I'm sorry, I'm going to their other restaurant Joule next time and hope it's better. read more

I came here for Seattle Restaurant Week and ordered everything off the restaurant week menu. I also ordered an a la carte item of their dungeness crab noodle as it seems that's what they're known for. Sweet chicory salad - it was ok, I felt it could've used more sauce as you could really taste the rawness and bitterness of the chicory, depends on your preferences. Loved the touch of persimmon here Short rib wonton - this was my favorite dish on the menu. So flavorful and so good. I thought it was going to be spicy but it actually had a nice sweetness to it Albacore tuna rice bowl - my least favorite dish of the night, it was bland and lacked flavor and depth. The kimchi tasted diluted and the tuna was plain and the crust didn't do it any favors. Spicy pork collar - I thought this was decent, lots of flavor and nice texture on the pork which was nicely balanced by the black rice Coconut cheesecake - I liked this. It has a saltiness to it like salted caramel but it did not taste out of place. I wish the crust held in place a bit better and had some flavor to it Rice pudding - rice was not fully cooked and the flavor was extremely subtle (not in a good way). The rice texture ruined it for me. The five spice fig was amazing though I feel like they didn't choose any of the dishes they're known for to be on the restaurant week menu so maybe their main menu is a lot better than this, but I came here on restaurant week to get an intro of what this restaurant is about and didn't come out impressed. read more

Revel is a great place to have a leisurely dinner with an intimate group of friends. The tables are well spaced, it's neither too quiet or loud, and despite its lofty interior it still feels warm and intimate. We stuck with some of the highlights of the menu: short rib dumplings, kimchi pancake, crab noodles, and short rib bowls. My pals were drinking cocktails but both wanted to sip on my delicious non-alcoholic sour orange and honey soda. Three spoons went to work on a mochi toffee dessert at the end of the meal. The sum of the parts makes Revel a 4-star. All of the food was solid, but just missed the "wow factor " that would make it a 5. Strange but true: my soda and dessert were the highlights. No decaf at dinner? Boo. Service was attentive but not bothersome, after our order was in we were free to gab as we do for a relaxed two hours. read more

Our party of 6 made reservations but could only get outdoor seating so I can't comment on the ambiance of the inside. Outdoor seating is covered and I believe there are heaters but it didn't make much of a difference so dress appropriately if you're gonna be seated outside. Street parking with pay to park lots nearby. Bathroom is shared with the other businesses in the building. Our table shared some appetizers: Chinese broccoli, Kim Chee pancake, and short rib wontons. The Chinese broccoli and short rib wontons are delicious! The Kim Chee pancakes I could've skipped. It's not as spicy as I thought it would be and didn't taste much like Kim Chee. For dinner my husband had the lemongrass grass fed 8 oz ribeye. It came already cut which was nice but my husband didn't enjoy it because it's glaze was on the sweeter side. It came medium rare. I don't remember the server ever asking us how we want the steak done so if you don't want it medium rare, make sure you tell them how well you want it done. The charred cabbage was gross, pretty much inedible. I think it would've paired better with just a salad or rice. I had the Dungeness crab noodles and I was SOOOO excited for it. But ended up a little disappointed in this dish too. The flavor was good. It had a hint of curry to it. There was barely any crab meat and the noodles were too hard for my liking. I wish the noodles were cooked longer and it had more crab meat. For $24, I was expecting more. Portions are small. We still ate everything and enjoyed our experience but it's not a restaurant that wow'ed me, you know? Also don't order the Lazy G cocktail. It's suppose to be a cucumber mint cocktail with ginger beer. It came out super green and when I took a sip of it, it tasted extremely artificial. Like they put drops of mint flavoring in it. I felt like I was drinking mint flavored gum. Why not just use real mint leaves and muddle them up for the mint flavor? Overall, I would give this place a 3/5. read more

What a disappointment! The last time we visited Revel a decade ago it was such a bright and wonderful experience that my partner and I often discuss coming to Seattle again and going to Revel would be the first thing we would do. We got the Chinese broccoli which was wonderful, but the salad was a few slices of apple and some chunks of celery with little to no dressing was a big disappointment. I got the heart of palm rice dish which was 98% just rice and my partner got the trout which was swimming in so much hot sauce that he couldn't even taste the fish. The waitress was terrible. She was very flat and not once checked in on us except to give us the bill. We had to ask other employees for help twice because she was no where to be seen. What happened REVEL?? I'm really curious. read more

Revel has found the perfect balance between authentic and rich flavors of Korean food, and modern cooking technics. Serving the best wontons in Seattle, their approach is bold, but the food is - wow.

Cool and casual, the perfect spot for elevated eats! read more
