This is one of my favorite comfort meals in Seattle. I frequent this place at least once every 2 weeks and I’m never disappointed. I always get the HamSausage Soondubu, which comes with a bunch of sides. The sides themselves are very worth it, and you can keep asking for more if you run out, my favorites are the fish cakes and potatoes. The soup is hearty, filled with umami, and hot off the press (perfect for a rainy day). I usually go with friends, and we share an entree. I highly highly recommend the Korean Braised Beef Short Ribs. I used to think the Soondubu was my favorite dish here until I tried the short ribs. They fall off the bone and sit in an amazingly flavorful broth. Each bite bursts with the flavor of the broth as the meat melts in your mouth. You also get a free dessert drink at the end which is sweet and tart. I would highly recommend trying any of the Soondubu the Korean Braised Beef Short Ribs.

Japchae and spicy fried chicken is pretty good as a starter dish. I also like their braised pork rib, quite spicy but very tender and very flavorful. Tofu soup is delicious, there are multiple options and we had kimchi tofu soup with beef. Main dishes are quite spicy to our surprises, so go easy on the spiciness level. There are also other dishes we would like to try on a second visit, like braised beef, etc. definitely worth bookmarking on map!

Great service! The aunty managing the space was really warm and kind! She made sure we understood what we were ordering and was really accommodating with our requests. Food was incredible. I ordered the winter special (it was a clam soondubu) and I think it hit the right spot because it also happened to be raining at the time. Great place to visit for the soondubu when it’s cold and rainy outside!

We ordered several times for takeouts and enjoyed meals at the restaurant. They are great! Galbijjim was sooooo soft and tons of meat. Services were great every time! I would definitely continue to visit!!

It’s great and you can tell that they care about the food. I think we met the owner who helped us with the seasonal dishes and seasoning it to perfection! The side dishes are really yummy and you can get them refilled. We really liked it!
