The Third Place

The food was great! We ordered creamy udon with spicy port and stir fried chicken. Was pleasantly surprised wiht the spice level of the chicken. Both me and my daughter loved the food and the portion sizes were large enough that we could take half of what we ate as leftovers! Great place, our go-to for Korean BBQ from now on.

Decent Korean restaurant. It's definitely on the lighter side in the area of taste, and less strongly flavored. The workers were very kind, and the atmosphere is clean. There are some vegetarian options, since you can opt for tofu on certain meals.

The Third Place in downtown Redmond is my go-to spot for Korean fried chicken, hands down. While parking can be a bit of a hassle, I usually just opt for takeout, and let me tell you, it's worth it. Their Korean fried chicken is on another level—crispy, flavorful, and just downright addictive. Whether you're a saucy or sauceless kind of person, this chicken delivers. The portions are generous, perfect for sharing or stretching into two meals with another dish on the side. Now, let's talk sauce. The spicy option? Whew, it's not for the faint of heart. Tried it once, won't be doing that again. But the honey garlic? Oh yeah, that's the sweet spot. Just be warned, reheating leftovers can be a bit tricky with the honey, so it's a finish-everything kind of deal. As for other menu stars, the spicy rice cake is a winner in my book. Surprisingly not spicy, it's a hearty bowl filled with fish cake, chunky rice cakes, and veggies. And guess what? It pairs perfectly with the fried chicken. That's our combo most nights, and it never disappoints. But wait, there's more. Ever tried fried crispy chicken gizzards? Trust me, you're missing out. The texture is spot-on, but fair warning, it's a tad oily, so if that's not your vibe, you might wanna steer clear. Sure, The Third Place might hit the wallet a bit harder than your average Korean joint, but let me tell you, it's worth every penny. So if you're in the mood for some killer Korean fried chicken, this is the spot to hit up, no doubt about it.

Sits in the heart of Redmond across from Matador is this new quality Korean restaurant. We tried the half and half fried chicken, stir fry udon and tofu soup. The Korean fried chicken is super tasty. Tofu soup is not too salty and comes with six side dishes. All dishes are very well prepared with good quality ingredients. Waiters are friendly and efficient. The decor looks a bit busy from outside but inside is nice and comfortable. I highly recommend this new Korean restaurant!

The fried chicken here is so delicate and very flavorful! You can easily consume a lot of chicken without feeling heavy. The spicy pork bulgogi was delicious. Their portions are astounding! You definitely get your money's worth. Service is excellent.

My grown kids took me here to try Asian food and I fell in love with the taste! It was very healthy (I know some sweet ones with sugar is not but it wasn't too sweet but delicious). I tried what my kids picked. If I come back to visit my kids, I would definitely choose this place for lunch or dinner!

Food was ok for my taste. Fried chicken was good but tad bit salty for me. Beef broth soup was a ok. Hot Stone Bi-Bim Bap is not worthy of a mention! Stir fried brisket w/bean sprouts is good! Spicy cheese rice cake was really good! Caveat: There was a gnarly annoying fly whilst we eat kind of hard to enjoy our meal! 5 stars for the fastidious service!
