Really really great restaurant nuzzled into the u district ave. Very comfortable seats and great lighting, decor, and the owners and workers are always nice. Sometimes the tv in the main dining area has cringey 2000s music videos playing, sometimes it has lo fi beats of whatever holiday is coming up, you never know. I find that kind of funny every time we go. The outdoor seating is nice too for warm nights. I always get the hot stone bibimbap and it is very tasty. The most recent time I visited I felt as though it was a little heavy on the rice compared to the meat and veggies, but you can't really beat a filling meal for like $16. I love how crispy the rice gets in the hot stone, that's definitely my favorite part and hard to replicate at home. They don't try to usher you out of the restaurant as soon as you are done with your food which I really appreciate. I don't just go out to eat to eat, it's also a nice way to get out of the house and enjoy the company of your friends and loved ones. I feel like this place definitely encourages that. It has some faults to where I can't say it's perfect, but this is a great restaurant to go to with your friends. You need to pick and choose whether you want to leave having spent $15 or $30, as some menu items are pricey, but that's up to you, y'know?

The food was absolutely amazing. THE PORTION WAS HUGE!!! The prices are high but with the amount of food you get it's worth it. They have so many drinks to offer. The place as very clean and comfortable. You can sit and there's open view. Service was really good, the lady at the front was very nice and answered all the questions. This place is so worth it.

Here we have one of many overlooked restaurants on the Ave in the U District solely because it feels like it's somewhat pushed into a corner in the wall by a parking lot that doesn't have cars in it. This place was much better than what I expected! I came here on a Saturday for lunch with a friend. Use the central plaza parking garage on weekends for parking, but failing that, look carefully around for street parking as it does get dicey there. You order up at the counter depending on what you want, and menus are placed near the front door and behind the cash register. They serve Asian fusion dishes here as advertised, including bibimbap, teriyaki, orange chicken and other things. Seating ranges from several tables close to the register to a smaller outside section lined with some tables around the perimeter of the kitchen. It was quite warm outside when I went, so most people ended up eating inside. My friend and I both ordered the hot stone pot bibimbap to try things out. It came with just kimchi as our banchan, which was less than what I would have liked. But with the addition of their sauce and mixing everything up, everything was quite tasty! Nothing overly special to add but I loved how it was filling and the beef was very well-seasoned while somehow having the strongest flavor in the whole dish (which I actually like a lot). I left here very satisfied, and would definitely come again to try their other dishes when I'm around the area!

First stop to eat after moving to Seattle, and the food was perfect! I loved the cozy environment of the restaurant and the very wide variety of food options that they offer. As a bibimbap enthusiast, their bibimbop did not disappoint: the beef was sweet, the house made sauce a good mix of sweet and spicy, and the vegetables and rice were just cooked beautifully!

My favorite restaurant on the Ave! It never fails, the service and quality as always top tier! You can't go wrong with an item on the menu!! My personal favorites are spicy tofu yakisoba and chicken katsu! Plus with the extended outdoor seating you can now enjoy your meal outside! Definitely recommend!

This was a fantastic find on the Ave! Everything we ordered was wonderful. Beef bulgogi came out sizzling hot, tofu soup was unlike anything I've tasted, and the tempura shrimp was crunchy! I would happily order everything again. The portions were huge, I ate the bulgogi until I was full and still had a great portion left over for lunch. The man at the register was friendly and efficient. The restaurant was nice and clean. Nothing fancy - just good tasting food.

The pork bulgogi bowl had tender and flavorful pork, it was a bit spicy but still delicious and enjoyable. The rice was cooked perfectly and was a good portion size overall. Service was quick and the food didn't take long to come out.

Delicious food and huge portions ! This Katsu curry is non-spicy and comes with bell peppers, zucchini, and peas on top of the usual carrots and potatoes. The rice was on the stickier side (how I prefer it) and it came out piping hot. You can tell they make it to order bc the curry took a little longer than the teriyaki chicken but overall quick and easy service. There's free water by the register. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and the cool breeze was a good compliment to the hot food. Tables no bigger than 4 people so not great for big groups.

Cozy, casual Interior. Huge, tasty portions. There are Japanese, Korean, and Chinese items on the menu. Katsu Bento ($17.99) - Crispy katsu with rice, salad, gyoza pieces, and California roll. Bulgogi ($16.99) - Flavorful bulgogi on a bed of fluffy rice with salad on the side and a runny egg on top. Located in downtown U- District.
