The food is always great--this was my second visit--but today's service was terrible. For a place like Chan that presents itself as an elevated Korean fusion restaurant, the experience was disappointing. We waited about 30 minutes just to place our order, with no apology or acknowledgment. Took 35 minutes to get my coke. The server was dismissive, constantly saying "I'll be right there" but never returning. The host was even worse--condescending with a strange, off-putting tone that made the whole interaction feel uncomfortable. I'm not sure if it was racism or just poor service, but either way, it's unacceptable, especially at this price point. Food: 4 stars Service: -2 stars read more

I had been to the other location back in 2015 (when it shared a space with a cafe), and during my subsequent trips to Seattle, I was sad to hear that it had closed. However, I was happy to find out that they had opened back up in the Paramount Hotel! The restaurant itself looks amazing and is probably 2-3x the size of the original location. The menu has expanded and after having tried a majority of it, I can safely say it is as good as I remember, if not better. Service here was great. Dishes came out fairly quickly and our plates were swapped out regularly. Everything went smoothly and our waitress was great at answering questions. Based on the service, I wouldn't have guessed that they had opened 4 months ago! One thing I will point out are the current shortcomings of their reservation system. I had a party of 9, and it was a little tough to make the reservation. I was unable to make it online (limit was for 4 people), and after numerous calls to the phone number listed, I wasn't able to reach anyone (even after reaching out to the hotel staff). I only had luck using the "Contact Us" form on the website, where Shane was able to help me make the reservation. Not a huge deal, and certainly understandable if this is something they're still working out. The menu has expanded for the better, and I was able to try most of it. Here's what I tried: Pork Sliders - A small amount of heat, tempered by some pickled radish. The pork was super tender and rich. The people at the table that had both the beef and pork sliders thought that the pork sliders were superior. Chicken Wings - Another dish with some good heat. Sticky, crunchy, and straight up delicious. I'm glad they kept this on the menu. Roasted Wagyu Bone Marrow - The addition of the chimichurri helped cut through the fatty richness of the bone marrow. Dipping the bread into the leftover fat in the bone is a must. Roasted Cauliflower - Very flavorful with good textural nuance. The cauliflower with the shallots and chili oil was a great bite. Heirloom Tomato - One of my favorite dishes on the table. The tomatoes were great, but the addition of the firm peach (or was it plum?) with sesame oil was just something else. Firm texture, subtle sweetness, and the toasty nuttiness of sesame oil caught me off guard in the best of ways. It was so nice that we ordered it twice. Soy Glazed Potato - Another favorite of mine. The combination of crispy, crunchy, and creamy is something I won't pass up. The celery root cream was almost like a soft mashed potato. Yet another dish we had to order again so we could run it back. Crispy Jidori Chicken - I wanted to like this one more. The chicken was crispy, but the noodles were missing something. It was like a light tomato spaghetti in a way. Potato Soo Jae Bi - If you love mushrooms, this is the dish. Every bite had incredible earthy and umami elements. The sauce was thin and creamy, and the spaetzle had a nice chew to it. American Wagyu Zabuton - This dish reminded me of galbi, just thinner, smokier, and twice as tender. Instead of a large steak that's cooked and then sliced, this is a steak that's been sliced thin and then grilled. Grilled Pork Jowl - I'm not really into pork jowl, but this was so so tender. Hibiscus Thyme Breeze - On paper, this mocktail seemed to be right up my alley. However it was super sweet and a little syrupy. However, a splash of water made it balanced and refreshing. read more

I was really excited to try this spot but was unfortunately pretty disappointed. My partner and I decided to come here for a date night, and we left pretty unfulfilled. The restaurant itself is cute and decorated nicely, and our waitress was nice. Unfortunately, we felt like the food was overpriced and we felt super rushed. We ordered the beef tartare, cauliflower, soo-jae-bi, and the steak sot bap. The beef tartare was yummy! I liked the soft bread that it was on, and the caramelized onion was nice. The cauliflower felt really undercooked to me. It was pretty crunchy, and it still had that raw cauliflower taste in some bites. The soo-jae-bi was alright. There wasn't much truffle or mushroom flavor (though there were a fair amount of mushrooms) but I did love the texture of the potato noodles. The sot bap was probably our favorite dish. I loved the cured egg yolk, and the steak was cooked really well! It was pretty tender although it seemed like it was only about an 8oz steak so it felt overpriced. It came with nori too so you could eat it with that or on its own. The biggest letdown was the pacing of the food. It felt so rushed. The first three dishes came out literally not even five minutes after we ordered, and then the sot bap came out while we hadn't even finished our first three dishes. Our waitress even said she'd wait to put in the order, and they still made it so quickly. We just felt super rushed which kind of ruined the experience. We arrived at 6:25 and were literally done eating by 6:45. Overall, I think a lot of the food is overpriced and the food was good but not amazing. read more

It's been years since I have dined at Chan. My husband and I discovered a week ago Chan moved to The Paramount Hotel, where Dragonfish used to occupy. We decided to dine here on a whim, and it quickly got busy after we got seated at 6 pm. We learned that Chan moved in about 2 months ago, and their new space has way more space than their former Pike Place location. One of my favorite dishes we ordered that night are their Pan Roasted Penn Cove Mussels with rice cakes. I loved the flavor of the dwenjang (soybean) sauce, and its creaminess. If it came with bread, I would have totally sopped up all of that sauce. The Roasted Duck Sot Bap was another favorite, I recommend letting it sit for a bit to let the rice crisp up. Also, it's even better as leftovers. Just throw it on a pan to reheat with some green onions and top it off with friend egg. It made a great day after breakfast. As for the other dishes, their Heirloom Tomato with peach and cucumbers made a nice side dish with everything we ordered, which gave us freshness to clear our palette. I thought the Smoked Lamb Denver Ribs were too saucy for my liking, but they are generous with the amount of ribs you get. I think if I had a side of steamed rice it would have been more enjoyable. I also thought their Caramelized Apple Tart was fine, just the right amount to share. But proceed with caution on the shortbread crust, as it was a little tough to cut though. I can see myself coming back for more in the near future. It's in a great location to grab dinner or drinks before a show or movie. read more

Recently here in Seattle for work with visiting one of my clients at the Grand Hyatt when lo and behold I spot on the corner the bright sign "Chan Seattle" located inside the Paramount Hotel. Like a child discovering a toy store I ran up to see if it was the same Chan Seattle that I would eat at that was located above Pikes Market before they closed during the Pandemic and it was one of the same. Came back later that evening around 4:30 pm and sat at one of three stools at the Bar where I engaged in conversation with Sr. Bartender Patrick. Pictured is the 6 ounce Alaskan Black cod and the carmel vanilla mascarpone desert which was Sous Chef's David's fav per Patrick. Bulgogi sliders and tuna tartare were ordered as my opens followed by the Black Cod and dessert. My only comment to the kitchen would be that they provide steam rice as an additional option as it would have paired nicely with the cod or the kimchi fried rice which they used to have at their other location. This is a great Korean Gastropub and holds 150 compared to their original location which probably held around 65 seats. Cool vibe with a Black and white Noire old films without sound showing on a wall adjacent to the bar along with upbeat music playing throughout the evening. Great place for a date night! On the night I was there all the tables had been reserved so unless you are dining alone and want a prime time reservation, you should call ahead. read more

I'm surprised I didn't have a previous review of Chan to update and this is the first one. Chan has been my favorite Korean food in Seattle for years when it was at the old location by the waterfront. The hangover soup was my absolute favorite, along with the chicken wings and bulgogi sliders. Chan has since moved into The Paramount Hotel and just celebrated its 1st anniversary in the new space. I hadn't been back in a while because I avoid gluten, soy, grains, and many other ingredients to manage autoimmune symptoms now, but decided to make an exception for the event and it was worth the cheat for me. We all have to decide where our thresholds and deficits are regarding health. The menu has changed since the move, but some old favorites are still on it and the new additions look appealing. I was not planning on going to Chan last night but saw an IG reel about the anniversary dinner buffet and impulsively made a reservation. The buffet dinner had the option of a wagyu coulotte or braised AK black cod, I chose the wagyu. It was tender, perfect temp throughout, and indulgent. It was being served with ssam (lettuce for wrapping, bean paste, chopped garlic and jalapenos), but I skipped it. There was kalbi, kimchi, a station to make your own bibimbap, desserts. I got some of the bulgogi, pork belly, and a bulgogi slider, all were so good. Also enjoyed the misugaru cannoli and black sesame cannoli with some tea. I was in Laine's (sorry if the spellings wrong) section and we chatted for a minute about the food and Chan's history, she was wonderful. read more

GET THE SPICY RICE CAKE WITH BRISKET. They use the super thick and huge rice cakes, and the sauce is so so good -- paired with fatty savory brisket, a soft boiled egg, and so many crispy onions this is probably one of my favorite dishes I've had around here. Yum!! read more

Went to Chan awhile back for SRW to try out their menu. In my experience, SRW is always similar pricing to happy hour, but SRW menus have a bit more to choose from. I wasn't sure what I was expecting when I came to Chan, and still left without a clear idea of what flavors I tasted. Could see the K orean influence, but don't know where the other influences were coming from. Steak tartare - This was very flavorful, almost to the point it was salty. This was a big portion, enough to share between two. Crispy Jidori - Reminds me of high end bibimguksu, but with the texture of instant noodles instead. I enjoyed this the most, had good amount of sauce to noodle ratio Fried Pork Collar - The pureed edamame at the bottom was not my favorite. The fried pork collar didn't taste like much either, felt like it wasn't seasoned. Braised black cod - Very salty, the daikon on the bottom soaked up much of the flavor and was like eating a salt brick. The cod was a bit bland, but paired with the daikon, it works. This would go well with rice. Honestly, the dessert was the best part of the meal. Very creamy and clear taste of matcha/caramel in both desserts. read more

Cool date night spot in downtown Seattle. Service is super fast and good came out literally right away after ordering. Bone marrow was great. The topping took the flavor to free next level Roasted cauliflower with the sweet aioli and fry shallots has the right texture and flavor combo I love the wagyu Sam! Meat is cooked to perfect mid-well. Just wished the pairing to the meat would be more flavorful. Duck is great too. The rice doesn't taste like Korean but more like risotto with bibibamp sauce. I liked the desserts and appetizers more than main. read more

For a fusion this place was surprisingly accurate on korean flavors. My friend who's korean was also pleasantly surprised on that. For food we got the bone marrow, brussel sprouts, spicy beef brisket rice cakes, and the duck sot bap. Of all of these the favorite was the brussel sprouts, the sweet potato puree along with the fish sauce vinaigrette was a great combo. Unfortunately the duck sot bap wasn't crispy at all. The server who brought it out mixed it all together and really smushed it around. I think the bowl it came out in wasn't hot at all plus all the smushing ended up making the dish more mushy than anything, even after leaving it untouched for 5 minutes. Overall the food itself was good, but nothing really great or amazing to make me want to come back. read more

I am in Seattle for work and this restaurant is across the street from my hotel and it is perfect. I'll likely be back every time I'm in town. It's relaxing to sit at the bar and order a meal.

The ambiance is relaxing and I am having a great time. 10/10 recommend. read more

I've frequented Chan often but this was the first time I went to the new location. The menu definitely changed up a bit, but they kept the staple favorites, such as the rice cakes and bulgogi beef sliders. Can't go wrong with those two. I also tried the dwenjang mussels, however I think it was a seasonal item as I don't see it on the menu anymore. The creaminess of the broth was delicious and light. It was an interesting flavor that I've never really tasted before, but it had an undertone of coconut milk, which I'm generally not a fan of, but this was quite delicious. read more

Nothing stings like the loss of a loved one. however, the bittersweet burn of leaving this house of flavor-art leaves that trophy highly contested. the marriage of all 7 corners of korea's agriculture and artistry made a tapestry mine eyes were made dull to have seen. The wild mushrooms were nice. The duck looked appealing on the menu, and while it was delicious, flavorful, and tender, I had expected the skin to be more prevalent and a little bit more like Peking Duck. Different culture, but still a bit of a letdown with the overall elegance of everything else. The sot bap was delightful, and uniquely, they gave my four-year-old son a spoon and asked him to get to work stirring it. they participate in the Seattle food fair, infrequently setting up a three course meal thing. I did not try it. please, oh please i beg, "release me!! release me!!!" but the darkness i am met with, unfortunately, is the light. like a newborn robot learning to love, I cry out to my creator, "what is this sensation?" the imprint of hatred bearing the same residuality of love...on my radiator heart. needless to say, I put that food down like its Old Yeller I'm left senseless like I'm Helen Keller she couldnt hear me but I tried to tell 'er They cook it up here there is no one better read more

Not your average Korean food! We came here on Valentine's day so they had a prefix menu in addition to the regular menu. The prefix menu featured the same dishes as the regular one but at a smaller portion (for 1 person). The ambiance of the restaurant felt very high end even though the prices weren't too steep. Chan definitely makes for a good date spot :) Chan combines Korean dishes with a more western spin. Everything was super flavorful. But I highly recommend the sot bap. The rice was so buttery and had so much flavor. We got the steak one and it was super tender. The service was super attentive. We came early for our reservation but we're able to be seated right away. read more

I really loved the ambiance of Chan. The music was a little bit unusual when I went but it didn't really bother me. Portions are pretty small, except for the clam rice cake dish we ordered. I would 10/10 recommend the rice cake dishes. However, the salmon and Dong chimi were a bit disappointing, especially for the price. The main issue I had with Chan is that you need to check your receipt!! They gave us a dish that we didn't order, so they took it away immediately and brought us the correct dish. Then, I heard one server telling another table that we ordered the wrong thing, which I thought was slightly weird. When we finished, we had seen that the bill was slightly higher than anticipated. Turns out they charged us for both dishes! Luckily we caught it and went back, so they voided the first charge and gave us a new bill. read more

Finally got to try this place out yesterday. Ambience - 5/5. Nice for a date night! Service - 3/5. Our server forgot one of our orders, but we didn't care. We were too full anyway. Food - 4/5. Everything besides muscles was good, but they were all salty. It's perfect for drinkers, but too salty for non-drinkers. If they serve baguette or rice on the side, it will help a lot for non-drinkers for sure. Price - It's about $18-$40 a dish and you'd probably want to order at least 2 dishes each. It's an over priced Korean fusion food, but I think it works for Seattle. People from LA like myself would probably expect more for their pricing range as we are too used to eating amazing Korean food for much lower price in LA. I don't mind coming back here if anyone wants to go here, but it's not somewhere I have to go back since nothing is so unique if you are an Asian. read more

We went here for Valentine's dinner. We had been to the original location over by Pike Place Market, this new location is much larger and has a small bar in the front, the ambiance is very dark, but cozy. Service was excellent and the food was awesome. I cannot recommend the SAAM more, it is so delicious and decadent, and the meat is so tender. A couple complaints is the order in which the food came out, the main appetizers came out then the main dishes and then the brussel sprouts? The order just was a little weird to me but delicious nonetheless. That really didn't take away from anything, but the restroom situation did. Maybe it's because it's a very new location with construction going on around the restaurant, but having to exit the restaurant go around to the hotel, and up an elevator to get to the restroom seems very odd. As a place with high end standard and high end esthetics, just seems odd to have to walk outside (in the cold, rain when I went) around the building and up an elevator seems super odd. I hope they get a restroom inputted into this location so you don't have to maneuver outside, around, and up. However, that was the only downside to this whole experience. I will definitely be back for the food, ambiance, and service no doubt. Absolutely delicious and worth going. Just hope it doesn't take years to get back here. read more

Really great! This is a spot that I would absolutely recommend and revisit in the area. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way or save this for a special occasion (which is why 4 vs 5 stars). But very impressed with the food and am excited to go back. We had the soy cured king salmon and it was bonkers good. Beautiful presentation, great contrast of ingredients, it felt like the perfect refreshing starter to the meal. We then shared the pork sliders. This wasn't as exciting for me - the pork wasn't spicy at all (as described) and the ratio of ingredients with the fluffy brioche bun was off. It worked better open face for me. I would have also doubled the pickled radish and spice for a bigger flavor experience. Overall it's very approachable and reminded me of an American style sloppy Joe so I expect this would be a crowd pleaser (just a bit tame for me). The drinks were delicious and I loved the incorporation of Soju in the cocktail list. Service was rushed but friendly and fun. We arrived without a reservation at 7pm in a Saturday so it was incredible that they could even squeeze us in! Overall this was a super fun surprise of a spot inside a hotel downtown and I recommend it. Give it a try! read more

Tonight I had an abysmal experience at this place. First they didn't bring my drink and had to remind the wait staff multiple times. Then they forgot to bring one of the entrees so people at our table stood there for 2h without having their food. When we reminded the staff about the missing plate, they told us it would take a long time due to placing the order again and that they couldn't bring anything on the menu any quicker.

A bit disappointed with the experience here. Our reservation was for 8:30 pm but the waiter urged us to order before last call, which was 8:40 pm. The entire dinner felt rushed, and I think it would have been better if they just didn't allow reservations for 8:30 pm in that case. We got the appetizers and mains together and they were about to serve dessert before we finished our mains but we told them that we would like to wait a bit for the dessert. Service aside, we ordered the Seattle restaurant week menu. Got the melon salad, steak tartare, marinated salmon appetizers. Mains were beef rice cakes, fried pork, and black cod. Dessert was matcha tiramisu, popcorn tart, and creme dessert. Few notes: the melon salad came with all the seeds still attached to the melon...I can't see how this would be on purpose but it did not enhance the salad. I did not appreciate having to remove 30+ seeds from my bite before eating. The steak tartare and marinated salmon were much better. The mains were good, especially the beef rice cakes, however everything was slightly too salty. The fried pork came with a green mash that tasted really yummy. The dessert wasn't to my liking either, mostly because the matcha tiramisu was majority cream, and the matcha didn't seem to be ceremonial grade (ok i'm being picky here but it was a $50 meal ). My friend enjoyed the matcha tiramisu, though. The other desserts were ok but a bit 1 dimensional, maybe would benefit from a few more flavors or textures? Overall I wouldn't recommend but maybe we came at a bad time... read more

Have not been to a more unwelcoming restaurant in all of Seattle. Simple question like where is the restaurant is met with, "go ask the host", then ask the bartender, who replies sarcastically, "oh yeah we have a restroom", if you ask for something it's like you're asking for their liver or a kidney. Would've loved to try the food but it makes it really hard to want to when every staff person responds as if you've insulted their cat or something. I don't know what happened to everyone today, but unless you want to verbally accosted for your innocuous questions, strongly avoid. read more

I was looking forward to dining here - the menu looked amazing! Unfortunately the execution was a bit lacking. We had a reservation and arrived right on time. We got 4 plates to share expecting a nice pace between starters and mains. It was a bit uncomfortable when all our 4 dishes were brought out all at once, to a tiny 2 person table and of course food eventually got cold. So that's on the service. Food itself was not outstanding. I thought the flavors were were mild and muted for Korean cuisine, even for a fusion spot. The bone marrow came with the bread that was super dry did not match the dish well. The cauliflower was underdone. My favorite of the night was black cod - it was flakey and delicious! Overall, giving two stars because dining experience was poor and rushed. The flavors did not standout to me and the menu makes the place sound way more exciting than it actually is. read more

First time we came back since they moved locations. The food was amazing but the sauces for the plates were a bit rich and maybe too much? We brought the leftover oxtail sauce, diluted it down, and mixed spaghetti noodles with it which was amazing. Overall loved the experience and food. The restroom is on the second floor of the hotel. Interior is nice for a date night. Maybe difficult to dine with kids here. The seafood sotbop, raw salmon, and rice cake in the oxtail sauce was our favorites. We over-ordered because we were hungry but glad to have leftovers read more

Food - The food was both the best and worst part of this place. Flavor wise it was awesome for my dishes, but my partner didn't feel that his dish was very balanced. Portion size and cost is what makes me take a whole star off, maybe more if it wasn't so tasty. I understand tapas as I have had them all around the world and especially when I studied in Spain. My partner lived in Spain for 18 years. We both agree that while it's cool when people "elevate" tapas and use fancy ingredients, and this means the portion size and cost might change. I love the use of Korean food for "elevated" tapas too. What I struggled with was that they said the SotBap was $45 and serves 2 when it barely felt like an entree size for one person. That's really my main complaint, but it's a big one because I left hungry after eating 2 tapas myself. Even the drink portions were small, which was very unique and tasty, but so incredibly small for $18, relative to any other places we've been downtown. The dessert was not worth it unfortunately. Tasted like a microwaved, prepackaged chocolate lava cake and some ice cream. Unfortunately they were out of the matcha option we wanted to try. They do have a few vegetarian options and they were some of the most popular menu items, so you won't be left out if you don't do meat. Vegan might be more difficult but they have several GF options. Service - Very thoughtful server and very kind. We made a reservation and they seated us promptly and at a table by the window. Once they got busy the server started forgetting things like the coffee my partner asked for with dessert or the water refills or even that we had asked for the check by a certain time when we were seated. But they were pretty helpful at providing recommendations! Ambiance - it's a cute and small little place with modern decor and kind of a front cafe that's more casual and then a back dinning room area that's a little more classy. The front door was pretty hard to find so more signage might be helpful. The restaurant door is tucked in the corner, inside a small corner lobby of a hotel. If you don't go all the way into the corner you will miss it! read more

Please be aware of allergens that may not be specified on the menu. Service staff may also need more training on food allergies. Food and atmosphere were good but the somewhat lack of awareness of allergies unfortunately ruined our experience. I'm not trying to bash the restaurant and the staff by writing this review. I would like to raise awareness of this issue and hold the management accountable for improvements as they promised. Someone in our group is allergic to nuts. We ordered beef tartare which doesn't mention as anything about nuts on the menu( see photo of the menu). However, there're pine nuts (see the red circles on the photo) which caused reactions for the person who's allergic and had to leave the restaurant to rest without finishing their dinner while feeling pretty sick. Needlessly to say it ruined the night both for the unfortunate friend and the rest of the party. So here's how it happened. We ordered the beef tartare and chicken wings which shows there're peanuts in this dish on the menu in first round and told the server to not include the peanuts. Before we started eating, we ordered a second round and specified to the server no nuts in any of our food. However, we were only made aware that there are pine nuts in the beef tartare after my friend ate it and had reactions. What the restaurant could've done better to avoid this from happening again: 1, clearly state the ingredients in the food especially the allergens on the menu 2, educate the service staff more about the allergies and make asking the customers if there're allergies as part of the routine What we could've done better: be more clear about allergies instead of asking for 'no nuts'. After the incident happened, the manager came over to apologize, heard our concerns and tried to make our night better. Apart from the incident, the service and food were pretty good. All that being said, this was an unfortunate incident that could have been avoided. I hope the issues I raised here will be resolved in the future. read more
