    Beef short ribs
    Michelle L.

    They only do takeout. We ordered beef short ribs, teriyaki combo, beef bibimbap, and spicy tuna roll. They were all delicious but the bibimbap was my favorite. Huge portions too. Definitely returning. Good value.

    Tamago Nigiri (2pcs) and Spring Rolls (4 pcs)
    Diana C.

    Large portions for price! They are take out only and only open during the week. They have a pretty large menu to choose from. Everything was packaged very securely and thoughtfully as well. The sushi was pretty good and the service was speedy and friendly at pick up. Definitely a solid spot to stop in and grab a quick meal to go!

    Chicken Katsu Meal

    The chicken katsu and tempura are juicy and crispy. Love the salad dressing as well! Very convenient to-go lunch option!

    Chicken Teriyaki

    HUGE and delicious portion of chicken teriyaki for the very good price! we also tried their miso soup and it was good

    Spicy chicken terriyaki
    Andrew Z.

    I came to bento world at the recommendation of my hotel host for lunch. Due to current restrictions, they only had take out, so I got a Spicy Chicken Teriyaki plate and a Spicy Salmon roll for takeout. The Spicy chicken teriyaki plate solid and came in a really large portion. However, I thought there was a too much sauce on the chicken, which overpowered any other flavors which may have been in the chicken or the rice. The plate also came with a side of salad which was nice and added a bit of freshness and color to the dish. The spicy salmon roll didn't really have that much flavor or spice on its own, which I was a little disappointed in. Eating it with soy sauce and pickled ginger was nice though, as they added a lot of flavor which made up for the lack of flavor from the salmon. Overall, this place gives large portions for cheap, so if you are looking for a cheap and easy lunch, this is a really nice place to go to!

    Sushi Bento
    Christopher L.

    Amazing food! The quality is definitely there with their bento box. The sushi bento box was very filling and I loved every bite. The tempura shrimp were perfectly crunchy while the sushi was the perfect bite. Let's not forget the sashimi, as each piece was thick and flavorful. To complement everything, the coleslaw made a great addition to balance out a perfect meal.

    Worst terriyaki I had! Didn't even know you could mess up chicken terriyaki until I had this place. The chicken is so dry and the sauce isn't good either. It was very fast for takeout but I would never come back here.

    One of my favorite bento places now. Portion size and quality were on point. From the sushi, to the chicken, to the tempura, all were juicy and fresh. I'd come back!

    Beef Udon with Shrimp Tempura
    Valerie Y.

    I decided to order from Bento World on UberEats and I was blown away by the food, which was really high quality for takeout! I ordered the Shrimp Tempura and the Beef Udon - my order was prepared immediately and I received the food at my door within 30 minutes of placing the order. I usually worry about getting takeout food because it's not as warm or as good as it would be in the restaurant, but the two things I got were great. The Shrimp Tempura was perfectly crispy and the Udon was really good - noodles weren't soggy at all. I'd definitely love to come back in person!

    Salmon Avocado Roll  Sake Maki Negihama Maki
    Alexandra B.

    My sushi eating experience is transformed. I ordered the Negi Hama maki, and can't believe how simply delicious it is. Accompanied by a Sake Maki (salmon roll) and a Salmon Avocado roll, and my indulgent Sushi dinner is made. If Belltown were home I would be here all the time.

I went on a weekday evening and was able to walk in without a reservation and the host sat my party immediately. The space has an industrial vibe, minimal decorations and an open kitchen in the dining area with another kitchen hidden in the back. We started off with a gochujang margarita which had a little spice but the flavor of the gochujang got lost and I couldn't really distinguish it. The NY Tiki Time cocktail was a stunner, the flavors of the citrus, pandan and rum blended smoothly together. I had to take a photo when the drinks arrived. For the apps we ordered the yellowtail and octopus. The presentation really was remarkable and well plated. The yellowtail was in between layer of thinly cut turnip that had a lemon verbena component to it. It was shaped into a flower and placed on a plate in naengmyeon broth. The octopus was tender and in a delicious cream sauce with some roe as decoration. For the mains we got the squid fried rice with kimchi, bacon, smoked quail egg. We also ordered the branzino gui with seasonal vegetables. Both were well seasoned and tasty but I think I enjoyed our drinks and appetizers the most. The staff were slow and intentional with their service and no one seemed in a frantic hurry. The tone of the place was calm and none of our servers gave off an overly pretentious attitude (my biggest gripe with fine dining). Will most definitely come back as soon as possible and can't recommend enough.

The yellowtail dish was lemony and the thiny sliced turnip was an art itself . My friend really liked the squid ink fried rice. The rice was made very well but personally I always find squid ink rice to be bland and a bit uninteresting, so the kimchi in the fried rice added some contrast. The restaurant was pretty empty on a weekend night. Service was ok. I love the glass and high ceiling.

    I try to check out new restaurants every time I visit Seattle. Some make the list from…read morerecommendations, some from Yelp reviews, and some from TikTok. This time, I checked out Chan Seattle, and baby, they left NOTHING on the table. I enjoyed my entire experience from start to finish. When I arrived, there was a sign asking guests to wait for the hostess to be seated. I stood there for about 2-3 minutes, but no one ever came to the hostess stand, so eventually I just seated myself at the bar. ‍ Not a huge deal, but definitely worth noting. Chan is located inside a hotel, and the restaurant itself is pretty spacious. The actual bar only seats about three people, but there's also open-kitchen counter seating with maybe 8-10 seats. I grabbed a seat at the bar with my book, although I mainly ended up listening to a podcast while I ate. Perfect little solo dinner vibe. One thing that made me laugh: the restroom is part of the hotel, so Chan staff actually have to give you a key to access it. Top-flight security over there! Now, THE FOOD. I started with a glass of cava from the happy hour menu and the tuna tartare, topped with avocado, radish, and sunchoke. Both were $10 each. For my meal, I ordered the roasted cauliflower from the happy hour menu for $10 and the small portion of Alaskan black cod from the protein menu. Everything was absolutely delicious, but that tuna tartare?! That was the star of the evening. Fresh, flavorful, and easily the dish I'd order again without even looking at the menu. The service was wonderful too. The bartender seemed a little stiff and rigid when I first sat down, but he eventually warmed up and I got to see his kind and friendly side. He was attentive and offered recommendations, which I always appreciate when I'm trying somewhere for the first time. The regular menu prices are definitely on the higher side, but Chan has $$$ on Yelp, so you know what you're signing up for. That said, the happy hour specials are GREAT and make it easy to try several dishes without running the bill all the way up. Between the food, service, atmosphere, and happy hour, Chan Seattle is absolutely a must-try. I'll definitely be back on a future Seattle visit, and the tuna tartare already has a spot on my repeat-order list!

Service was super friendly and quick. My friend and I shared the pork sliders, brussel sprouts, beef cheek ragu rice cakes, wagyu ssam, and the ginger crème brulee. Everything was so surprisingly yummy. Pork sliders were juicy, flavorful, nice fluffy bun. Good proportion of bun to filling. Brussel sprouts at first were your average well made sprouts, but when we reached the bottom of the dish where the sweet potato puree was, it changed the entire flavor profile of the dish! So good. Maybe better served in a wider bowl so we could appreciate the puree sooner haha Beef cheek ragu was super good too. Flavorful rich sauce and I loved that the rice cakes were extra thick and charred on the outside. Made for the perfect texture: lightly crunchy on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. Wagyu ssam was great too. Not as standout as the other dishes, but solid steak pieces that were perfectly tender. I think my favorite has to be the ginger crème brûlée. The ginger flavor is light, and the hardened sugar on top tastes like crystallized ginger candy when chewed. The doenjang caramel drizzle balances it out as well. Overall, a fantastic meal. It's definitely on the pricier side, and all the dishes could use a bit less salt, but I will definitely be thinking about that crème brûlée for a long time

It is set up like a cute korean style bar with small round tables which make sharing easier. They have a pretty good selection on their menu and we ordered a couple of items to share. The Rose Ttoekbokki with cheese was very yummy, but it kinda tasted like pasta with rice cakes instead of spaghetti. I think that is the point of this dish, so if you want a more traditional spicy flavor then get the other ttoekbokki option (spicy rice cakes). We still loved this one and the rice cakes were so chewy and delicious. The cheese corn was very yummy and exactly what you would expect. It pairs perfectly with the other dishes. My friends also shared the Seafood ramen and Beef bulgogi. They liked both dishes. One of our favorite things were the side dishes actually! The tofu was so yummy, and the bean sprouts were so crunchy and well seasoned. We even asked for extra! The only aspect that makes it difficult to come more often is the price point.

We were back in the neighborhood and decided to pop in on a whim. It is all spiffy and new and under new management. The owner and head chef was there, and she is a delightful lady. The service is top-notch, as her daughter was working there. The staff was very attentive.
