I added some rice into my bowl so it can soak in the goodness and was very satisfied. You get radish and kimchi as banchan. We live in Bellevue so it's boring a hike to get here. I would get this weekly if it was closer. Want to come back to dumplings and pancake. The waitress was nice and checked in regularly. Also got free tea. I think it was a barley tea that was delicious.

There was also a real menu next to the tablet as well. The soup was piping hot! With an order of the soup you get kimchi and fermented octopus which goes great with the hot rice. We didn't get the bowl of green onions as a condiment with the soup. But maybe it was something we had to ask for? We also ordered the pan friend kimchi mandoo. It had a nice crunch and the filling was plentiful. If you have leftover, they do charge for boxes.

Me and my family went to Mukja this weekend. Even though there was bit of a wait, it was worth it…read more My favorite part was the side dishes. Typically other Korean places really don't offer much variety of side dishes, but Mukja has tons. My favorite was the veggie pancake and the spicy rice cake. It takes me back to me when I visited Korea. The meat quality was also good. The wait staff is very attentive, they came to our table a lot. My son even got free ice cream delivered by the waitress. I'd highly recommend. Would visit again!

Overall: 9/10 Food:…read more9/10 The food here is a no frills traditional Korean Pocha establishment with plenty of Banchan. The Army Stew was very spicy and contained sausages, spam, kimchi, and ramen. There were plenty of proteins in this dish but I did wish the Army Stew had tteok-bokki. It was not as big as I expected. The Pork Cutlet with Cheese was the biggest positive surprise. The pork itself was crispy and savory and the gravy on top of it had a sweetness that complimented the savoriness of the pork. There was plenty of melted mozzarella cheese to help bind the gravy to the pork cutlet. The Kimchi pancake with pork was very big and had a crunchy outside. However, the batter a the kimchi itself was too soft on the inside and did not hold any texture. The pancake fell apart almost immediately when it was picked up. Atmosphere: 9/10 No frills pocha with K-pop in the background and k-pop on a large TV. The tables had a built in stove in the middle to keep all the stews and soups hot. Service: 8/10 Service was understandably a little slow due to there being only 1 server the entire night. I will say, the restaurant was at about 70% capacity. For being a Wednesday, the restaurant was a lot more full than I expected so I understand the slow service.

The Army Stew was sufficient for three to four people, while the Pork Cutlet was more than enough for two people! The main entrees came with Banchan, but we had to order a side of rice. K Pocha is great for late-night drinks and food. I highly recommend it!

We just left this place. The food was great, the service was deplorable. The server that seated us…read morewas friendly, but not very intelligent. Although he was able to explain the AYCE rules thoroughly, he lacked the basic knowledge of what the sauce contained. He also kept asking if we wanted the grill changed. We explained that once the grill was "seasoned," the food would not stick; which is why we didn't want it changed... yet he asked if we wanted it changed right after this. I also asked for more napkins, he brought one. The ventilation in this restaurant is horrendous, the smoke and heat from the grill were unpleasant for anyone sitting near the wall. I had to move seats after I was done cooking, because the heat was making me sweat profusely. A female employee came by and asked if we needed anything, and I asked for napkins (to wipe the sweat off my face). She looked at me as if I was asking for a slice of pizza. I asked her if there was a problem, because of the look she gave me. She responded, "no." I got the feeling as though she didn't want to give us napkins for some reason. Again, the food was good, but the service was terrible.

Oh my gosh. Everything was so good. Dare I say, best seafood scallion pancake I've had. Service was…read morefantastic and employees were amiable. Let me tell you about the seafood pancake. It was crunchy and not too salty or bland. The ratio of scallion, seafood, and batter was perfect. They did not skimp out on the squid. The size of the squid was about one phalange. When I bit into the squid it was chewy, springy, and meaty. It's amazing to me how they managed to make the pancake crunchy despite filling it with so many ingredients. The kimchi and radish were super flavorful and not too spicy! Kimchi was sooo good. Even though the side dishes were limited, I enjoyed the freshness and taste. I also tried the samgyetang (Korean chicken soup) and bibim naengmyeon (spicy cold noodles) for the first time. The samgyetang was light and hearty. The broth could have been a bit sweeter. I probably wouldn't order this again though because I like more flavor. Though the bibim naengmyeon was too spicy for me, it was refreshing. The noodles were chewy and the cucumbers added a nice crunch.

Pricey but delicious !!!…read more The location and the vibe around is just perfect for gathering with your group of friends and family . Not to mentioned, our server was amazing and patient with us since it was my first time. Although, she kinda knew us from the church she still treated us with respect like any other customer without any favoritism or whatesoever. She told me full details of the menu to which is usually ordered or popular at the moment, since I couldn't decide myself. I loved everything she recommended and can't wait to go back again. I specially loved the kalbi and pork tofu combo . We did get the stone bibimpap as well which was amazing !! And the seafood pancake . I think we ended up getting so much food that we ended up just sharing whole just enjoying each others company. My order: ( in the photo) Pork Tofu Soup 돼지고기 순두부 with kalbi combo! And Seafood Pancake 해물파전 The others ordered the half and half chicken and hot Hot-Stone Bi-Bim-Bap 나물돌솥비빔밥 . The side dishes was the best too and I love the kimchi specially. Can't wait to try other dish next time.

However, I had a horrible experience with service in May. It was by far the WORST service I've ever received, even based Asian restaurant standards (iykyk). I've always had older servers, usually ladies but on occasion on gentleman. This time, it was a young girl. It was my first time seeing her there. She had no facial expression to start. And after she repeated our orders, it was incorrect so I correct her. She said "I know", and repeated the wrong order again. When I clarified by listing the correct order, she just rolled her eyes and walked away. Isn't it a server's job to take order, and make sure it's correct? I did not take away from the tips because there are other servers who helped bring our food and refill the banchans, but this encounter made me not want to go back for a while, despite how much I like the food. Management - please train your staff about customer service, especially the new hires.

If you love authentic Korean soft tofu soup, this is definitely the restaurant to come to in…read moreLakewood. The entire experience and the flavors are authentically Korean. The rice is served in the hot stone pot. Order the soup based on your spice level. I usually order the kim chee or seafood tofu soup. We had a party of 3 on our last visit and two of us ordered the combo special so that we could share the short ribs and the spicy BBQ pork. The meats were tender, so delicious and flavored just right. It is served on a sizzling platter. All the sides are delicious as well and you can ask for more . My favorite is the Kim Chee and bean sprouts. A fried fish also comes with the tofu soup. The service is prompt and quick. The restaurant has lots of parking which is a plus. This is comfort food at its finest!

I must update this as I just got back from the restaurant. I went with my family as a Mother's day…read moredinner. It was alright. Service was alright. Prices were high, that's fine considering how things are right now. But where I draw the line is forcing me to change my tip amount in front of my family because I believed that tips should be used as a reward system for above and beyond service. I tipped a good 10%. But because of my family size and which wasn't stated anywhere on the menu or the facility, I was embarrassed in front of my family and asked to raise it to a minimum of 15%. A shame that this wasn't just reflected in the already high menu prices. Pay your employees instead of having them resort to such atrocious aggressive tactics and begging. I previously refused to come back. But was only here due to a Mother's day request. I will now aggressively push back to anyone that even recommends this restaurant.

It has been a while since I have been here. Decided to come here for a quick dinner…read more They have Teriyaki and Chinese wok style cuisine, as well as Korean food. The Korean food is listed in Korean...so unless you ask questions, you may not know what you're ordering. In the past I have tried the Bulgogi, which is good and comes with banchan--but a little pricey. This time around we chose Mongolian Beef and Teriyaki Chicken with Gyoza. The Mongolian Beef was not good. I didn't care for the sauce, the meat was chewy, and the styrofoam noodles were rancid--and there were a lot of them! The actual portion size was pretty small. The salad on the plate with the Teriyaki and Gyoza was big chunk of lettuce with a giant glob of dressing--pretty unappealing. Service was mediocre. There were flies buzzing around as we ate. I think we are the only Americans in here right now. Pretty busy for dinner. Not really sure that we would return, better places in the area. Overall 2.5 rating.

I've wanted to try this place for a while and today was the day. All in all pretty good but if you…read moreask for fried rice, they make it to order. The teriyaki chicken is warmed up, so the two come out different temperatures and one seems lukewarm and the other piping hot. I buried several pieces of my chicken so the rice would warm it up. I would have rather had the chicken on top of the rice for heat and I'll ask next time, because there will definitely be a next time. And paying 4 extra for fried rice is a bit much compared to others but it was pretty good fried rice so again, no complaints.
