    B1. Classic Bossam
    Katherine G.

    So delicious! We came for lunch on a rainy day, and it wasn't too busy inside so we were able to get seated immediately. Between the three of us we shared the bossam and oh ssam. They first served a couple of banchan - kimchi and tofu, and I was a bit surprised there weren't more. However, the mains we ordered were so good! The bossom was massive and they had a HEAPING pile of radish and I loved how they gave three different sauces. The pork was soft and flavorful, and the napa cabbage wrap was so good with the garlic, jalapeno, radish, and sauces. The oh ssam was also fantastic, as there were plenty of soft chewy calamari pieces and super savory pork. I also loved the plentifulness of veggies! Overall, I loved everything we got, and also the tofu banchan! Would definitely recommend this spot.

    Not a ton of Korean places serve bossam, so had to come to bori to try their bossam! The restaurant is located in an outdoor plaza so there's plenty of parking. I visited on a weekday evening and it was pretty empty. Ofc we ordered the bossam to share for two people and it was definitely more than enough! They give lots of pork belly and I like that there's variety of super fatty pieces and more meaty pieces. I do wish the cabbage was more cooked, as the chunkier pieces were hard to wrap around the pork. Sauces and sides were good too, but not much variety to the sides. Just kimchi and braised potatoes (delicious tho) Service was nice and attentive. Interior was quiet and casual. Overall, a nice spot. Not the best bossam I've ever had, but price for quantity was super worth it.

    I came with a group of friends and we shared the bossam, gamjatang, and kkanpunggi chicken wings. The bossam was served with pickled radish, napa cabbage, garlic, jalapeños, and three different sauces. It was delicious and a great portion for sharing. We added potato noodles to the gamjatang for $4. The pork was super tender and they were generous with the amount of pork bones in the dish. I wish there were more potatoes or that they were cut into larger chunks instead of thin slices. The broth had good flavor and paired really well with rice. The chicken wings were pretty standard but the flavor could be a bit stronger. Overall, it's one of the few Korean restaurants in the area that I would come back to from time to time, especially for group dining. There were only two servers working and it got busy, but they were still very pleasant and provided great service.

    We came to try their Bossam because words are its one the best in the area. We also ended up trying few other offering. Its a nice restaurant with a good vibe and friendly staffs. What we got: Bori signature bossam (5/5) This was it!!. We tried plenty of restaurants that offers bossam; and this was probably one of the best. Great portion; so tender and flavorfull. It was just so so good. Love how it comes with 3 different sauces and plenty or radish kimchi. The napa cabbage were nicely cooked as well. Haemul pajeon/seafood pancake (4/5) Good size; thick but still crispy which was good. Plenty of seafood in it. The dipping sauce could be better tho. But overall it was good. Korean fried chicken; ALL three flavors (3/5) The fried chickens was very mid; but was not surprise as this restaurant wasnt specializing in korean fried chicken. All three flavors were too sweet. The kkapunggi doesnt have enough sauce, yangnyeom was saucy but so sweet, snow white were also too sweet and not enough cheese flavor. Overall this is a good place to get some korean foods. I would give this place a 5 star if it based only on the Bossam! Either way; we will go back for sure; Saw other people orders the other offering and they look good. But for sure go and try their bossam!!!

    My friends and I were excited to visit this spot, as we had seen they offered marinated crab, which was something we were all keen to try! We arrived on a Tuesday at 6 p.m. and were seated right away. Unfortunately, we were immediately disappointed to find that the marinated crab was unavailable, along with two other food items. Since our primary reason for visiting was off the table, we decided to order the Korean tofu soup and tteokbokki with cheese, both of which were just okay. We did enjoy the seafood pancake, which had a decent amount of seafood. We also ordered the galbi, which was fine, but we felt the portion was quite small compared to the price. This was a running theme, as we all thought the portions were small compared to the high cost of the items. In terms of side dishes, they only provided two, which felt like a minimal amount compared to what other Korean restaurants offer, especially given the size of our order. They do, however, sell side dishes separately if you wish to purchase more. On the bright side, the service was great, and the workers were very kind. The restaurant is clean, though it is quite small with limited seating. Parking is shared in a huge lot with nearby stores and other restaurants. Overall, while the service and atmosphere were good, the disappointing lack of menu items and the small portions for the high prices made this a mediocre visit.

    I'm so happy I finally found a place in the Seattle area that does bossam with oysters! The flavor took me straight back to authentic Korean comfort food the oysters were fresh, briny, and balanced perfectly with the pork and kimchi. My only small gripe is that I wish the pork belly slices were a bit thinner for that ideal bite, but honestly, the taste made up for it. Everything was seasoned beautifully and served with care. I'll definitely be coming back just for the oyster bossam it's that good. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Korean flavors done right.

    Bibimbap (tofu soup came last, not shown in picture)
    Sophia W.

    I'm really sorry to say that I'm unsatisfied with this restaurant. I've seen it promoted a few times on social media, and knowing this is a fairly new restaurant (open for around a year) I had high hopes. To start off, our server was great. He checked in on us occasionally and is friendly and attentive. Additionally, the ambiance of the restaurant is very cozy. I liked the homey style of chairs and the beautiful plates/silverware. The restaurant space is small, but has plenty of seating. My parents and I came at a time where there were barely any customers, so the restaurant felt pretty spacious. We ordered tteokbokki, sundubu-jjigae, bibimbap, and yangnyeom chicken. I was most excited for the tteokbokki, since it's my favorite Korean dish. However, I disappointed by the taste. Even though there was plenty of sauce, somehow, I felt that the flavor was very mild. Maybe I'm too used to strong, complex flavors, so my sense of taste is off. This dish honestly tasted like the sauce was just made of water, gochujang, and some sugar. I felt a little confused, but tried the rest of the food. The bibimbap tasted similarly bland, and the chicken felt a little dry even though it was coated in plenty of sauce. I'm just shocked. Where's the umami flavor? Is there not enough garlic or green onions? Is the salt reduced? I have never eaten Korean food which tasted so... average. The soup was the only dish of the four that tasted great. Overall, the food's alright, everything's cooked well, but it's not impressive. Additionally, I was surprised to be served only two side dishes. This is the fewest amount of side dishes I've had at a Korean restaurant, and both tasted pretty average. Given the great service and atmosphere, I really wanted to love this restaurant. However, the food did not satisfy my cravings, and I didn't have much of an appetite after trying everything out. We ended up bringing back plenty of leftovers, which I'm looking forward to sprucing for my lunch tomorrow. I'm really sorry to say that I won't be coming back for a while, but I'm rooting for the restaurant's success and improvements.

    Loved the food.... Love the concept of not an overload of banchan that goes to waste most times. They specifically mentioned they are not your regular Korean restaurant with many banchans. We ordered the kimchi fried rice, seafood pancake and the Nak Sam. The spice for the Nak Sam and the kimchi fried rice is just right .. not too overpowering . Overall definitely coming back. Give it a shout if you are in the neighborhood... you won't be disappointed!!

    Oyster Bossam, Yangnyeom B4. Gyejang

    The oyster bossam was seriously so good. The pork was really tender and tasted fresh without being greasy, and the oysters were super fresh too with no fishy taste at all. Wrapped with the napa cabbage, kimchi, garlic, and sauce together... honestly such a good bite every time. The yangnyeom gejang was amazing too. The sauce was spicy, sweet, garlicky, and insanely addictive without being overly salty. The crab tasted really fresh and went so well with rice. Definitely one of those dishes where you keep saying "just one more bite" lol. Honestly everything tasted balanced and homemade instead of overly heavy or salty like some places. You can tell they care about quality and flavor here. Would definitely come back again.

    The restaurant itself is pretty small, but on a Monday evening it is not difficult to find a table. My party of 6 was seated promptly. We tried the sundubu, bossam, yangyeom chicken, the spicy raw crab, and the tteokbokki. Everything tasted great, and service was attentive. I personally enjoyed the Thai green tea. There is a good variety of items to choose from on the menu so they are sure to satisfy whatever craving you may have. They also have a bunch of banchan in the front for sale for you to take home as well!

    Seafood Pancake
    Justin C.

    Bori Kitchen is nestled in the Plaza in factoria by QFC. There is definitely ample parking since there is a big lot and it's located in the corner of the plaza. The ambiance is pretty nice and it looks clean and renovated. Definitely a spot that I would go to with more people since a lot of their dishes are big portion sizes. Staff: Nice (4/5) Sanitation status: (5/5) Seafood Pancake (4/5) The seafood pancake was pretty good. It had a good variety of seafood and green onions but I definitely think it could've had more seafood. The dipping sauce that it came with paired nicely. Army Stew (3.5/5) The army stew was okay. I have definitely have had better but there was a lot in this one. There was a burger patty which was intriguing. I added cheese to mine which made it so much better. They provided sausages and bacon as well and there was a lot of protein provided. I would definitely opt to try another option next time.

    Dolsot bibimbap (top, bottom), yangnyeom chicken (center)
    Vinh M.

    I didn't get their well-known dishes but I'd come back here to get it after this visit! This restaurant is closer to the Factoria neighborhood and not very far from Chi Chi and Factoria Mall. I got seated with my friend very quickly as the place was only half-filled. Inside feels very clean and matte especially with their fancy-looking utensils, and the music reminded me of being in a K-drama. My friend and I decided to go simple, and we each got their dolsot bibimbap while sharing a 10-piece yangnyeom chicken. Bibimbap is standard and nothing special though it is a go-to item I almost always get. The stone pot was sizzling like crazy, and it goes even better with their spicy sauce. You even get some banchan with the meal but it's little compared to other restaurants I've been to. The yangnyeom chicken was pretty spicy, and had a tangy taste as well even with the green onions on top. I did want to try their bossam but was slightly deterred by the high prices on them. That's the next thing I'll get when I come back to complete my experience here!

    The Korean food was decent, but nothing that would make me go out of my way to return. They did serve some banchan, but not as much as you typically get at other Korean restaurants. They also had a big selection of banchan for sale, which looked tempting, just hard to know if they're worth it since we didn't get to sample most of them when we were dining. I came when the restaurant was still fairly new, so I'd be open to giving it another try if I'm in the area or if a friend wanted to check it out.

    5 stars SOLELY for the Kalbi Tang…read more The quality of the meat is absolutely bomb. I love pho, but Kalbi Tang is a Astro up in general and here at Daeho is another step up Kalbi Tang primarily because of the meat flavor and thickness. Not a big fan of the glass noodles and still giving the dish 5 stars. The quantity of meat is also solid. This will fill you up no doubt, it better be for near $30. The rest of the food here for me is meh. Too much foo foo. The banchan is average. Service might be spotty, you have to wave people down but they are always friendly. After ordering, the food comes generally fast. Kalbi Tang!!!

    I wanted to give this place a second chance because I know a lot of people really enjoy it, but…read moreunfortunately my experiences were underwhelming. As i always say go try it for yourself. The first time I visited, the quality of the meat cuts didn't impress me, and the soups lacked depth of flavor. I'm not talking about needing more salt--the broth itself just tasted flat. When you're paying close to $30 for a bowl of soup, I think it's reasonable to expect a higher level of quality and care to ingredients. The second visit was a mixed experience. To be fair, I was in the wrong. There is a clearly posted policy stating that your entire party must be present before being seated. My group was about seven minutes away, and since I had already checked in on Yelp and there were only two parties ahead of me with no one physically waiting, I asked if I could be seated and order while I waited. I had already been standing inside for about 10 minutes. I was told that although tables were available, seating me ahead of the other parties on the waitlist would be unfair. I understood the reasoning, but she had also asked prior for my order. Her explanation left me confused so i sheepishly said I understood the policy. She already seemed upset by the time i had gotten there. Sometimes we have off days i get that. This place is clearly hit or miss, I've got friends who absolutely swear by it. For me, though, it wasn't anything special and didn't justify the price. If you're looking for Korean food in the area, I've had better experiences with higher-quality dishes elsewhere, especially in Lynnwood.

Bon is located in the same plaza as H-Mart and so they have a shared parking lot or you could walk over from Redmond Town Center which is just a block away. The inside is surprisingly large with at least twenty tables, which is bigger than most Korean restaurants that I've seen on the Eastside. At 11:45am on a Saturday, my group of three had no problem getting a table. Their menu is extensive and has all the Korean food classics including seafood pancake, soondubu (stone pot tofu soup), galbi jjim (beef stew), Toppokki, bibimbap, and cold noodles (spicy and non-spicy versions). Their entrees are around $20 each, but some larger hot pot dishes (meant for 2-3 people) can be up to $70. I ordered the BULGOGI BIBIMBAP (~$24). Unfortunately they don't serve stone pot Bibimbap here, but the portions are large and beautifully presented. My dish came with plenty of fresh vegetables- pickled carrots and cucumbers, sesame bean sprouts, daikon kimchi, lettuce, and marinated black mushrooms (which I've never had in Bibimbap before but was soooo good) on top a bed of fluffy white rice! The egg was cooked perfectly over easy and the meat was marinated well too- I do wish the dish came with more meat though. They give you your typical sweet and spicy gochujang red sauce on the side as well as white vinegar and mustard sauce for added flavor. Service was fantastic and you get complimentary hot tea and ban chan (which are refillable). The ban chan included cucumber kimchi, daikon kimchi, sesame bean sprouts, kimchi, fish cake, and sesame choy. All employees were very friendly and made you feel at home. The inside is clean, but the only reason I'm giving them 4 stars is that they have an Okay health rating and not a Good or Excellent health rating. I didn't look up the exact violations, but it would be great to see an improvement in score. Overall: 4/5 for food, 5/5 for service, 3/5 for atmosphere
