Hanok

Hanok is such a gem! I've been eating here often since moving into the neighborhood, and their dishes are delicious. Whenever I have friends or family visit from out of town, this turns into their favorite restaurant. The owners are very kind and offer great service! It's a cozy space, so make sure to call ahead for a reservation if you plan to go during dinner. They often get booked up, and they will have to start turning away people around 7/7:30 p.m. They make their kimchis in-house, and I love it! Because they make it themselves, that also means their kimchi flavor will vary slightly depending on the stage if fermentation. Their seasoning is great though, so I've enjoyed it in all stages! I highly recommend the Dolsot Bibimbap for first-timers. (Make sure to get the Dolsot which is hot stone bowl — if you just get Bibimbap, it is traditionally a cold dish...Some people get confused then are upset it is cold, but that is what they ordered.) My go-tos are their soups and udon soups! Their broths are flavorful and perfect for the often gloomy weather. At this point, I've likely tried every dish on their menu, and I have yet to be disappointed! This is a great option for groups since their menu has a good variety of dishes/flavors, and they have vegetarian/vegan options. *****Order their cinnamon drink for after your meal, and it will really hit the spot! It's good for digestion, and a sweet way to end the meal.

ordered the dakgomtang + kimchi jjigae and it was excellent! came with purple rice (iykyk), which my partner and i love!! a filling meal that doesn't skimp out on ingredients– left feeling so incredibly satisfied! was served by the owner, who was lovely and kind. highly recommend this resto for those who want some hearty korean food 🙏

Great food overall! The hot stone dish was a tasty and fun experience, and the stir-fried veggie noodles were perfect. Atmosphere was okay, but the location is excellent—just a short walk to Lake Washington. Sake was just okay. Worth a visit!

This place was seriously amazing!! I got the bibambip in the stone bowl and it was a flavor sensation and so much fun to eat, and so affordable. The friend I was with loved her meal too. Service was amazing. Now we both wish we lived in this state so we could eat here every week.

Delicious, high quality ingredients, and unique flavors (can’t get over how amazing the green salad dressing is!) We came for an early dinner, so the place was quiet and the food came out incredibly fast. The service was excellent and every dish was cooked to perfection. Can’t wait to be back!

I enjoyed the cozy, quiet and hospitable atmosphere, like dining at a good friend’s house. Street parking can be challenging during peak hour. Or parking around the neighborhood. Sizzling corn cheese and deep fried seaweed clear noodles are my favorite appetizers. After dining, take a walk to Lake Washington for breeze and sunshine.

This is my favorite Korean restaurant. Excellent quality food. The Dolsot Bibimbap is amazing. My wife and kids love the Galbi. Everything we’ve tried has been really good. The staff is always very friendly too.
