Stone Korean Restaurant

We came here for dinner. We got some great imported beer. We ordered the boneless chicken nuggets. These had excellent saucing and flavor but the chicken nuggets themselves were not as meaty as you would want. This is why I gave the four star rating. The nuggets had some chewy not so great parts. Then came the mains. We both had the Bibimbop, I had the beef and my date had the chicken. Both were excellent. The flavor was really good, the veggies tasted fresh. We really enjoyed this dinner.

This so the third Stone restaurant we’ve tried in the area. Great food at all locations. The menus are different depending on which one you go to. This one seems to have more traditional dishes but all flavorful, well cooked and good portions. The seafood pancake was the best one I’ve tried, though the dipping sauce was kinda plain.

I adore this Korean restaurant—it’s truly one of my delights. Their chicken bulgogi is my go-to comfort meal on a cold afternoon, with beautifully balanced flavors, caramelized onions, and wonderfully tender chicken. Their chicken kimchi fried rice deserves its own praise: it’s perfectly seasoned, and the texture of the rice is exactly what I love—flavorful, satisfying, and never mushy. Their pancakes are consistently delicious, and the banchan is something I can never get enough of: fresh, varied, and always complementary to the meal. This place never disappoints and keeps me coming back again and again.

Nice decor, but understandable why it was ghost-town empty at lunch on a Sunday. My wife liked the combination Sundubu, but to me it lacked the key dried seafood umami and raw egg. Also, sadly, the Seafood Pajeom was so oily I felt queasy after eating. Kimbap was $15.99 for Bulgoggi Kimbap that was not freshly made or even as good as Hmart. Server young lady forgot to bring our fishcake Banchan request. Then forgot to bring my Coke. Not very apologetic and never came to check on our water level or ask if we needed anything. I guess they do not like families with kids.

My most recent visit to Stone Korean Restaurant in Bothell was a mix of pleasant and noteworthy experiences, with a few small hiccups in the flavor department. The restaurant boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a traditional yet cozy decor that makes you feel right at home. It's the perfect setting for a casual meal with friends or family. One of the highlights of Stone Korean Restaurant is the outstanding service. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure you have a wonderful dining experience. Their welcoming demeanor adds a lot to the overall enjoyment. We sampled the Bi-Bim-Naeng-Myun and Kalbi during our visit. Bi-Bim-Naeng-Myun: This dish was good overall, but it was a tad over-salted and slightly on the sour side. Despite these minor issues, the flavors were still enjoyable and refreshing. Kalbi: The Kalbi was excellent. The short ribs were tender, well-marinated, and grilled to perfection. Each bite was a delightful blend of savory and sweet, making it the standout dish of the night. While the restaurant doesn't offer tabletop cooking, the quality of the food and the fantastic service more than make up for it. The prices are moderate, which is reasonable for a Korean restaurant, making it a great value for the dining experience they provide. Overall, Stone Korean Restaurant continues to be a reliable spot for enjoying authentic Korean cuisine. With its cozy ambiance, exceptional service, and standout dishes like the Kalbi, it’s a place worth visiting. Just a slight tweak in the seasoning of some dishes would make it even better.

We tried this place for the first time tonight and wow! We don't usually eat Korean food, so we let the server guide us. I had no idea what to expect, but my expectations were blown away! The flavors, portions, and vegetables were all delicious. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxing, and I'll definitely be returning. We ordered the Hot Pot Bi-Bim-Bap, one with with pork and one with beef. It was fresh and incredibly tasty, staying hot until the very last bite. The server recommended a super spicy sauce—beware, it's really spicy! This place is an absolute must-try!

This lived up to the hype! We don’t eat Korean food often enough, so we kind of let them guide us on what to eat, and they did not disappoint. I had no idea that the assorted side dishes you see in the photos (which I now know are called "banchan") are refillable and complementary — wow! The entree we ordered is Hot Pot Bi-bim-bap, and it’s unforgettable. The stone (at least I believe it’s stone) dish they serve it in fries the rice and veggies to your desired level of crispness, depending on how long you leave it unstirred. And don’t forgo the recommended sauce!
