    Bulgogi Bibimbap / 불고기 비빔밥
    Brittany W.

    Danji is a great Korean option on the east side but the prices definitely suggest east side. If you're willing to drive a little further away, you can get equally good or better Korean for less. I ordered the stone pot bibimbap. The display was beautiful but the rice didn't crisp up against the stone pot the way I expected, and that may have been because of how it was plated. I also ordered the six piece mixed fried chicken - the chicken was super hot, freshly fried and flavorful. I can definitely see why they advertise the chicken on the door. It's not my favorite Korean place but I'll definitely come back here if in the area.

    Danji is one of my go to spots for Korean food on the Greater Eastside. The interior is very welcoming and the Korean tv shows on is a nice touch. On the menu there is a wide variety of options like soup, Udon, Korean bbq, Korean Fried Chicken, Bibimbap, and more. Everything I have ordered from here has been delicious. On my last vist, my mom and I ordered the Yuk-Gae-Jang and Pork Belly. The broth of the Yuk-Gae-Jang had a hearty flavor and some spice to it. It was very warming on such a cold day. The Pork Belly came out sizzling. I really liked that the pieces were cut really small and that it wasnt overly fatty. The banchan provided was a pretty traditional spread and all of it was tasty. I especially enjoyed the potatoes and fish cakes. Our server were pretty attentive for it being an Asian restaurant. Wasn't overly friendly, but was on top of all of our needs.

    Haemul Pajeon

    4/5 overall Hameul pajeon - 5/5!!! Seafood pancake was sooooo good. Crispy and good amount of vegetables and seafood. One of the best I've had. RECOMMEND. Pork belly was a bit dry so don't recommend. Beef tofu soup was good, but not enough broth. Banchan was great, especially the kimchi!

    Wanted to eat Korean food for dinner last night. Needed to satisfy my cravings for bibimbap and bbq'd marinated beef short ribs. Decided to stay in the area and not drive to Bellevue or Redmond, so we went to Danji Korean restaurant. Absolutely good decision. Ordered a seafood bibimbap and the bbq marinated beef short ribs. Dinner was delicious. All of the Banchan dishes were tasty except the mung bean dish, needed some more seasoning. It was rather bland. Service was good and servers were attentive and checked in several times. The marinated beef short ribs were delicious! Will definitely revisit soon!

    After a hike, we were hungry so we decided to check this place out. After seeing all the positive reviews, I was excited. The place is busy even on a weekday. There was already a few groups eating when we got there and a few more came after. Parking was limited to street parking or the lot across the street. Our server was ok. She brought out food and water and that was it, didn't come back until we wave her down for the check. Food: Seafood pancake 4/5 --- it was good, crispy and flavorful. Just a little too much batter for my taste. Squid and pork belly bulgogi 4/5 --i don't think they used pork belly, it was a different part of the pork. Either way, the dish was flavorful. The dish supposed to feed 2 people but it can definitely feed closer to 4 people. I wished they gave us more rice though. If they think a small bowl of rice was enough to finish that dish I seriously don't know what they were thinking Banchans was good but also in very small portions The food overall seems normal but I kept eating them so it's definitely good. This place is a little out of the way for me so if I'm in the area, I would come back but it's not a go to place for me

    Banchan Set

    The only korean restaurant in Issaquah. The place is nice; we sat outside since we had our pup with us. Good amount of offering in the menu. The service was good and the servers are nice. There were only 5 thing of banchan; all of them are good except one. Bumped that kimchi wasnt part of the banchan and we have to order it seperate; but the kimchi tasted good. What we got: Fish row soon tofu 3.5/5 It was alright; we got the spicy one but should have ask for extra spicy. Yuk-Gae-Jang 4/5 It was really flavourfull and really good. Portion was good as well. Haemul-pajeon (seafood pancake) 5/5 It was super delicious! And super crispy despite how thick it was. And the dipping sauce was very flavourfull. This was our favorite; and this dish alone will make us come back again. Overall its a pretty good reataurant and i would recommend it to try atleast once.

    Kalbi H2. Beef Bulgogi / 소불고기
    Dan H.

    Omg this place is a little gem in the Issaquah highlands. The food is delicious. Two of us split the beef bulgogi which was a very generous portion and two miso soups. The banchan were solid and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Served the classic barley tea. Will definitely be back here!! I really want to try their chicken wings next and bi bim bop.

    Danji Korean Cuisine is such a cozy, satisfying spot with warm vibes, friendly staff, and dishes that feel like pure comfort. The flavors are bold without being heavy, the banchan is ok, and everything comes out hot and delicious.

    K5. Spicy Galbi Jjim w/ cheese
    Gena P.

    Whenever I am craving Korean food, this is my go-to spot in the neighborhood! The restaurant itself isn't too big, so it can get pretty busy during those peak hours... that being said, it's worth the wait imo! My faovirte dish here is the galbijjim! I tried the spicy version with cheese and absolutely loved it! The meat is super tender and there was plenty of it on the bone! I also tried their Korean fried chicken, which is very similar to something I would get in Korea! The soy sauce and yangyeom flavors are my favorites! The staff are always hardworking and kind, making the experience even better. If I HAD to point out one thing, the rice portion is slightly small and the banchan selections are not as diverse. Overall, I highly recommend this place for satisfying Korean food!

    Porkbelly Bibimbap / 삼겹 비빔밥
    David P.

    The food tasted fresh, authentic and well prepared. Staff was notably friendly. The ambiance wasn't memorable but that's ok. Felt it was a little expensive but I was full in the end and they refilled my sides twice. I would come back again and try the Korean fried chicken!

    Spicy Chicken Bulgogi / 닭 불고기
    Sabrina C.

    Everything you could ask for from a Korean restaurant. Banchan was fresh and the flavor profile of the food was authentic. The depth of flavor of the galbi tang and the perfect balance of heat with a touch of sweetness of the spicy chicken bulgogi were my highlights. My husband really enjoyed the haemul pajeon. Cozy, casual suburban restaurant with great service.

    beef rib soup
    Tony J.

    Korean restaurant in Issaquah Highlands. Mid-sized space. Doing decent business for weekend lunch, but we didn't need to wait for a table. The menu has the usual Korean items you expect from a Korean restaurant in the US. Good variety of banchan served. I got the beef rib soup. It was a decent sized bowl. It's not the sliced short ribs but actually segments of beef ribs in the soup. Tasted like a bone broth soup. Clean tasting and mostly it's the meaty bone broth flavor. The beef is not fall off the bone tender, but not difficult to bite off either. Comes with a bowl of rice as usual. Price was $25-ish which considering the amount of beef was reasonable. Didn't wait too long for the food.

    We came here after shopping at North Bend premium outlet! Delicious, authentic Korean food, service is amazing and they have a neat ambience. We ordered seafood soybean and soft tofu soup with beef, we enjoyed it and we are going back to try more of the food in the menu. Love the banchan too!

    Do you have any gluten-free items on menu?

    Yes, they have gluten-free options like bibimbap, galbi-soup, or pork belly. Just make sure to let the servers know you're gluten-free as there are still many foods that contain gluten.

    Are side dishes complimentary?

    Yes. And it is called ban Chan dishes ( for side dishes) the portion they give out is really small though so you just have to ask for refills

Chicken Teriyaki is grilled but very moist. The chicken is high quality... thick, juicy, and not overly seasoned (many places are way too salty). It is my favorite in the greater Seattle area. He also makes yummy Chicken Katsu. The oil is never old because the panko is always a golden brown. You can get a combo plate--one fillet of Katsu and another Teriyaki--for $16.99 (which is a great price for the amount of food and the quality). 2/SERVICE. Dine-in service is prompt even though it is just him. He is always filling up your water and checking in on if the food is tasty. When it gets busy, however, he is the only person working at times. However he will still make time to check on the dining room every 5 minutes between preparing orders. Take out service is very fast. Call ahead for quick pickup. I highly recommend coming here for dine in or take out. It is located right on Front Street with ample parking.

Zushi Sushi is somewhere in between. I would not say to a Seattle person to purposely drive there. But I will say to folks nearby that it's a worthy restaurant. The place is neat and tidy, not showing its age yet, even though I know it has been opened for years. The service is swift and to-the-point. I am fairly certain this place is Japanese owned. Prices are fairly reasonable without the common 'Eastside tax'. I often find older restaurants to be more reasonably prices due to lower overhead. The Food: Avocado Bomb, $10 - 3.5 Stars Other than a bit too covered with tempura bits, this dish met expectations. The price matches what I have seen in Seattle. Salmon Belly (Sake Toro) Nigiri, $7 - 4.5 Stars Good cut and good white fatty stripes for sake toro. Thumbs up. Lion King, $15 - 4 Stars Menu: California with seared salmon on top and parmesan aioli, unagi sauce, scallion With these type of specialty rolls, presentation is as important as the ingredients, combination, and creativity. This roll as the best out of the three we ordered. Zushi Flower, $19 - 3 Stars Menu: Shrimp tempura, avocado, spicy tuna with seared salmon on top, spicy mayo, unagi sauce, parmesan aioli, and kaiware, red tobiko on top This specialty roll did not at all look like the photo. At $19, it's the most expensive amongst their rolls. Disappointing. The ingredients and taste were fine. It didn't warrant the Zushi namesake, and I don't see 'flower' in its presentation. Cherry Blossom, $15 - 2.5 Stars Menu: salmon, avocado, cucumber, and tuna on top This roll was the most 'man-handled' looking roll amongst the three we ordered. It also did not look like the photo. In one of the pieces, I spitted out a brown piece of something. It turned out to be the tip of the avocado. They graciously offered to take it off the check or make a new roll. Grilled Hamachi Kama, $14 - 2 Stars This was a very dull and boring hamachi kama. Not much seasoning, not much sear, the skin is not crispy, yet the fish is overcooked to the point of being dense. Tempura Oreo, freebie We were gifted a tempura Oreo. Interesting and pretty, but not something I would order. No rating. I wish Yelp would do half stars. I think they are a solid 3.5 Stars.

Miso soup is tasty also. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town; unfortunately I live near Vancouver BC so I can't visit very often.

    I was excited to try Kuro Sushi as I've heard good reviews about it from friends and Yelpers. Even…read moremore so, I was excited to try their weekday Happy Hour menu. When I first stepped in the door, I was so glad I brought a light jacket with me even though it was 80 degrees outside. I'm not sure why, but the restaurant had the A/C turned up so high that even the people eating next to us had their puffer coats on. Even with my coat on though, I was still cold. The interior is small and modern. However, the tables and menus were extremely and unpleasantly sticky. The soy sauce bottle was also empty at our table. I ordered the HAPPY HOUR CHIRASHI BOWL ($22 which is half the size and price of the usual $44 Chirashi Bowl off their main menu). It came with two pieces of salmon, two pieces of albacore, two pieces of hamachi, and two pieces of some other tuna (or maybe it was mackerel) plus tamago (egg), and Ikura (salmon roe) on top of their signature purple rice. The presentation was nice, but the fish quality lacked. The albacore in particular was so chewy I had trouble biting through it and so I knew it wasn't fresh; I ate one piece but left the other in the bowl because I didn't want to chance it. Regardless, my stomach regretted it later in the evening and the next day... Service was fine, but we had to waive down the waiter both to order and get our check. When he asked if I wanted a box for my piece of albacore, I told him it was too chewy and he said sorry and walked away. Overall, I was unfortunately disappointed by my experience at Kuro. For a recommended place on Yelp, I expected a better environment and fresh fish. Overall: 2/5 for food, 3/5 for service, 2/5 for atmosphere
