    Happy hour Gyoza
    Holly M.

    I live nearby and recently decided to try their happy hour. I was surprised to find only three items on the happy hour menu - not what I would consider a true happy hour selection. I ordered the gyoza, priced at $6 during happy hour, but the regular menu offers six pieces for $8, so it didn't seem like much of a deal. Still, the gyoza were excellent and perfectly fried.They do offer happy hour drinks at decent prices. I tried the crunch roll and was pleasantly surprised by the delightful crunchy toppings. I've heard from friends that their chicken wings are excellent, so I'll be returning to try those on my next visit! The service was fine nothing to complain about. The kitchen staff even greeted me once I walked through the door but I was the only person in there. Great seating areas and very welcoming.

    How I heard of this place: In conversation with friends about favorite neighborhood eateries, a couple of the establishments at this intersection came up. Yopparai, among them. When my sister was visiting we made it a point to try at least one of these newer restaurants in our neighborhood. Type of cuisine: A fusion of Japanese and Korean cuisine, set in a bar, a space encouraging inebriation from the name itself, meaning "drunkard". Ambiance: From the mini parking lot in front, one wouldn't expect such a large space inside. Two stories, with loft-like dining area upstairs (closed the day we were there), the downstairs has plenty of seating for small and larger parties. The bar is off-limits to those under age, but is adjacent to the dining space. Televisions in the bar, mellow, intriguing artwork throughout and matching table settings give the space a uniform and comforting feel. What I ordered: To start, we selected honey garlic and yangnyum a traditional sauce atop Korean chicken wings ($22/order), then continued on to our sushi selections: Greenwood Roll ($15) - cucumber, asparagus, cream cheese, avocado, Sunset Roll ($17) - spicy tuna inside & tuna, salmon, avocado, tobiko, spicy mayo, lemon atop, and Crazy Salmon Roll ($16) - spicy salmon and avocado inside, seared salmon and spicy mayo atop. A Shrimp Tempura Udon ($12) rounded out the meal. What I loved: Everything was great! The udon broth was flavorful and tasty, the wings crisp and well coated, the sushi options full of punch with each bite. Why I loved it: The food was delicious, the space clean and neat. Cost: Average

    Yopparai has a large menu, especially with lots of different rolls to choose from. I had trouble picking only a few because there were a lot I wanted to try. The prices are standard - not too high, but not cheap either. The size of the rolls are standard as well. The prices for wings are about a dollar or couple dollars higher than Sodam chicken's. I like sauce on sushi rolls, so I liked that they put a decent amount on each one. The only roll I tried that wasn't so great was the Seahawks roll. I would come here again just to try other rolls I didn't get the first time. The staff is also very nice, but we didn't get water refills once we finished the water jug.

    Tried to check out Yopparai earlier, but it was a no go due to the parking situation. This time I parked on Greenwood and we walked over (7/19/24). It is located where 105th meets up with Holman and Greenwood. Tiny strip mall that has a Jiffy Lube, massage/spa, Vietnamese spot, Mexican spot, and Yopparai. It used to be Stilos, Alibi Room, and Snoose Junction. Yopparai has two level indoor seating, bar seating, and a sliver of outdoor seating. Decent spot for groups to meet up, smaller parties have a meal, small bites & beverage while watching a game, chilling out after work...you get the general idea. The Homie and I got a collection of items from their QR code menu. Stuck with chilled water, passed on any other beverages. *Provided a sampler of their Yangnyum chicken wings. I snagged a bite and a swipe of that delicious sauce, The Homie devoured this. *Shrimp Tempura (5 pieces,$10). We both enjoyed this. Nicely battered and fried, I even ate the tails. *Chicken Karaage ($10). Enjoyed this too because the two pieces eaten were succulent chicken thigh bites. The Homie savored the rest. *Tater Tots ($7). Again, nicely fried and served with ketchup. *Salmon nigiri (2 pieces, $7). Fresh, generously sized. Definitely chomped that. *Two sets of Negihamachi (6 pieces, $8 each). Enjoyed that, fresh, and uncomplicated. Rice, hamachi, wrapped in nori. *Curry Udon ($12). I liked the bite to the two udon noodles sampled. Flavorful curry with a bit of heat to it. The Homie got done in and had to get a takeout box. Just hope the curry udon doesn't soak through the compostable box. Thankfully, it didn't, but would have felt better if offered a recyclable lidded plastic container. Nice sampler of menu items, with tax & tip was a little over $82. Pleasant service. A plus, we provided some Korean brand wet wipes, which came in handy during our meal and did not have a perfumy after scent. It was only their 11th day of business, but kind of empty for a Friday evening. Give Yopparai a try and help them get further established!

    Seahawks Roll
    Michelle M.

    This place is awesome! I came here after work with my coworkers. The food was delicious. I had the gyoza, which were crunchy and hot. Some places make them soggy and I don't like that. But these were so delicious that we ordered another plate of them. The miso soup was hot with plenty green onions, just the way I like it! I also had the Seahawks roll. It had crab, cucumber, tempura shrimp, cooked salmon and a spicy salmon sauce. It was to die for. I don't like cucumbers but they went perfectly with this roll. I don't think it would have tasted as good without them and they offered a textural contrast that was pleasing. I liked that everything on this roll is cooked. I am immunocompromised and cannot eat any type of raw meat or fish. This roll was made for people like me! My coworkers really enjoyed their food as well. I liked mine so much that I went back a few days later for the same things I had ordered on my first visit. The owner remembered me. She was so nice. I will return simply because she was genuinely friendly and seemed happy to have us there. It's definitely worth a try, you won't be disappointed!

    Sunset Roll

    Everything was FIRE! Gyoza was super flavorful and crispy and the garlic soy wings were amazing. Loved the sunset roll as well. Service was excellent and the place is super cute. Will be back again and again!

    I will be coming back here OFTEN. Quality ingredients, and just great food. We split the crazy salmon roll, Seattle roll, dynamite roll, and Korean wings between three people and were all FULL. I would order everything we ordered again, but everything else has to be just as good. The wings are CRISPY and the sushi tasted really fresh. Ambiance is good - very chill place (would be good for a date). There is a little bar area too, which we didn't enter. I think the upstairs was closed when we were there. Service was also great. We did have to ask for water once, but I drink a lot of water at restaurants. Our server was otherwise great - she was very sweet and did check with us multiple times. I will definitely be back!

    Took this for a friend before the food arrived. After that I was too busy eating to take photos.

    Great service, delicious food and they have soju! We ordered Korean fried chicken, sushi, gyoza and seaweed salad. Everything was prepared quickly, was fresh and tasty. This is a great addition to the neighborhood! Can't wait to be back. We sat outside and it was lovely. The server brought us baby wipes for when we were done with the wings.

    Accommodating and nice for us coming in late, prices were sick and the food was actually epicness tbh pretty nice

    Chicken Karaage

    The hospitality was really great but the food wasn't mindblowing. I loved the honey garlic fried chicken and the sauce that came with the karaage, but the karaage batter wasn't my favorite and the sushi we got kind of just felt mushy. I would go back for the fried chicken!

Momiji was one of those and it was extremely close to the movie theater we were walking out of. Sushi sounded great so we strolled over to get some. The sushi didn't disappoint... not in the slightest! We got some specialty rolls off of that portion of the menu and they were so very good! Fresh and extremely flavorful! Moonraker was one of the rolls we got. I highly recommend it! In addition to that we got an order of the Spicy Tofu... again delicious and made an excellent side with our sushi! I got a hard alcohol I wasn't used to getting. It was fun and it was quite good! It was Shochu which is a distilled beverage and involves sweet potato. If memory serves I got the one with sweet potato and pear. Very different but very good. It had a nice dryness to it. To wrap it all up we got some deep fried mochi ice cream. It held up nicely to being a great finish to a very high quality meal. We are definitely coming back!

We really loved the food and thought the hand rolls and fish were really high-quality, but had a bad experience with the service. From the beginning, we felt like our waiter wasn't super friendly. When my friend asked if the waiter could make one of the drinks into a mocktail, he responded he didn't know how to make it into a mocktail and made her feel weird when she asked for hojicha tea instead. The whole dinner I felt like he wasn't happy with us... he never smiled or gave us a friendly demeanor, and after debriefing with my friends they felt the same way. I felt like the only time I saw him smile was after we signed the check and gave him a 20%+ tip. Despite the fish and food being super good, I can't say I'd go back due to the poor experience with service.

My partner and I can stuff our faces with a large box here for just over 30 dollars. They are prone to have a line at dinner time and even off hours on the weekend though. Plus, there is no parking in the area so your best bet is to park by the H Mart or by Bellevue Square before walking over. Seating isn't the most plentiful and it's first come first serve where you bus your own items. Haven't been lucky enough to swing by while their miso soup machine was working, but they do offer complementary sauces (spicy mayo, unagi sauce, soy sauce, ginger, wasabi, and plastic gloves for those who prefer eating with their hands. Tip: all the rolls are placed at the front of the selection so make sure you save enough room for the salmon belly nigiri at the very end. Honestly, even though I know the rolls are a bit of a trap, their rolls are pretty tasty still and you really can't go wrong. Really strong 4 stars.

They don't take phone calls or reservations online - very old school. Which I think makes it more desirable. We ended up getting a special room with a "chabudai" style table! I was super excited because I've never experienced it before. What I did find pleasant was that although it was a lower table, there was an opening beneath the table that allowed your legs to hang rather than having to sit Indian style. Tyson was an amazing server. Was attentive, accommodated our allergies and was thoughtful with us having a young child. He was so pleasant and polite! We enjoyed the following: Baked miso glazed eggplant - YUM and melts in your mouth. Black Miso Cod Collar - this was pleasantly surprising and so delicious. Eat bite was tender and flavorful. Simple yet so appetizing. Sushi rolls were both fresh and well prepared. The nigiri was also great and fresh- not fishy.
