    Vibes were good but the service and food was not. The corn cheese rotisserie chicken has undercooked chicken and overcooked rice with super greasy non charred cheese. Tobokki is straight water and gochu. Kimbamp was okay. We have pancakes we waited for 1hr that never came. Checked with our server 2 times and she said it's coming after 30 mins but nobody checked in on us nor the pancake showed up after 1 hr.

    I've always walked past Golmok Market Bar and finally tried it. The interior was decorated in a cool way and there was an overall lively atmosphere. Our waitress was really friendly and had a great sense of humor too. We ordered the rotisserie chicken with corn cheese, the Chung Ju steamed Manila clams, and the mung bean pancake. The corn cheese ended up being my favorite part of the chicken dish, but the chicken was kind of dry. The steamed clams were cooked well, although the broth leans more on the saltier side so I would pair it with rice. This was my first time trying a mung bean pancake and I really liked it, but I wish it had come with a dipping sauce since it was a little dry on its own. Overall, it's a fun spot to eat with friends, and the food is reasonably priced.

    Food 3.5, service 4, ambiance 3.75 - Went to Golmok with a group of friends and had a fun time. The bill was very reasonable. The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the restaurant really captures the atmosphere of a Korean late-night pub. If the weather is nice and the windows are open, the experience is even better--the location on a lively street with plenty of foot traffic adds to the energy. The food was enjoyable across the board, though nothing quite reached the "must-come-back-for-this" level. The rotisserie chicken was juicy, tender, and gently cooked, but it could have used a bit more salt and seasoning. Next time, I'd probably order the spicy version instead. The Sausage & Wasabi Mayo Kimbap was well prepared and nicely balanced. We also shared the Oden, which came with four fish cake skewers in a flavorful, spicy seafood broth that was perfect for sharing. One of the more memorable dishes was the spicy chicken gizzards--they added a fun, authentic touch to the meal. They were packed with flavor, although they were just slightly overcooked. Overall, Golmok is a great spot if you're looking for a lively Korean bar atmosphere with good food, friendly service, and a fun place to spend an evening with friends.

    Finally got the chance to eat at Golmok before heading to a concert at Neumos! It was very much enjoyable and tasty! My friend and I actually came a bit early because it said it opened on 4 pm when I looked it up but it actually opened at 5 pm, so to kill time we just window shopped. When it finally came time, we were first seated at the taller tables, but they moved us to the window. I don't know the reason but, I actually liked sitting near the window more. My friend and I ordered their tuna mayo kimbap, oyster seafood pancake, which is seasonal, and their kimchi udon. We got a tteokbokki on the house. The tuna mayo kimbap was big and filling. We actually saved it for later because we knew we get full. We were able to finish the kimchi udon and tteokbokki. The kimchi udon broth actually reminded me of shin ramen broth. It tasted good but, oh my the kimchi was pretty sour. I loved everything else in it. I wonder if the kimchi was either just made or has been fermenting for a while. The tteokbokki was cooked to perfection and nice texture! My favorite was the oyster seafood pancake. Also had to take it to go but, it was crispy and the oyster melted in your mouth. However, I definitely wanted more oysters than batter. I'm definitely coming again because the quality of food is great but, also I was highly recommended their corn cheese rotisserie chicken and didn't get to try it. Hopefully will come back in a bigger party so it would be worth it!

    I live right by this place and have been wanting to try it for a while. I was so surprised to see a WHOLE rotisserie chicken on the menu and I just had to try it. I was not disappointed! The chicken was juicy and well cooked and it paired well with the sticky rice inside and corn cheese on top. It was definitely a heavy meal so I recommend sharing it or of course take some leftovers home which I did :) I also tried the lychee highball which was pretty good. I liked the vibe of the place, giving off late night Korean bites. Servers were super accommodating and friendly, I will definitely be back to try their other dishes.

    Delicious food! Amazing and quick service! Friendly staff! Fun vibes! We had the gimbap and udon noodles - both great portions and tasted great as well. And don't get me started on the highballs - they are dangerous! Sweet and strong and definitely had me wanting more

    This spot definitely has the lively atmosphere and nostalgic decor of a trendy alleyway bar. We came right as they opened and was successful at avoiding any wait time. Seating area is spacious. They had bar top, high tops, and long tables for larger groups. The menu was simple and straightforward. We ordered beef bulgogi kimbap, kimchi udon, and the memory lunch box from their winter special menu. We also ordered a couple bottles of apple soju. The food was tasty and enjoyable. Portion sizes were decent and perfect for sharing. The kimbap came with 10 slices and drizzled with bulgogi sauce. The kimchi udon had the perfect spice and excellent balance of umani. The soup had generous portions of fish cakes. The memory lunch box was something out of Squid Games. The tin lunch box was packed with rice, kimchi, luncheon meat, and a fried egg. Prices were also reasonable. Overall, a good spot to stop by before or after bar hopping.

    Hmm, pretty basic Korean street food. The price is fair and the vibe is nice, but everything felt pretty basic overall. Customer service was just so-so. The food was okay, nothing really stood out to me. The chicken honestly wasn't worth the hype, but I did like the tteokbokki sauce. good place for the atmosphere, but the food itself was just average for me.

    I think their food tastes pretty good overall. The tteokbokki is spicy in a good way but I do think the serving size is a littleee small. It's $12 for 5 big rice cakes, I've gotten their oden pot before too it's $13 for ~4 sticks, and this rotisserie chicken was $31. Chicken was a little tough but it was still good, corn cheese is on the sweeter side too. The seafood pancake is pretty good, they had like mini octopuses I don't remember the price but I thought it was pretty worth-- the middle did feel a little too mushy/undercooked for my preference but the outside is very crispy! The workers are very attentive and kind, the atmosphere makes it feel very hyper and social, especially the music. It's more of a night-out kind of restaurant with loud music and chatter.

    This place is usually packed by 7, so I'm glad we got there by 5 (right when they open) to snag a table. Service is 10/10, we were greeted by a server right away and she offered us tea to stay warm from the cold. We were also given recommendations and we took her word for it; hands down the most creative dishes we've had. Our fav was the chicken w/ crispy sticky rice: reminded me of the hannam oriental roast chicken in Seoul . The interior is similar to some of my fav pochas in nyc/seoul, what a vibe. It does get loud though. Def worth coming back to try something new from their menu. The only downside is that they may not have a dessert menu and I was craving hotteok, bungeo-ppang and bingsu last night

    Overall it's a cute but lil bit spendy spot. The vibe is fun with the decor and it's usually pretty busy so that adds to the fun if you can snag a table. The service was really friendly and on top of it. We were sat at the high tables and the space was really small to fit all our orders. The food was pretty good. I think the tteokbokki was good, very big and chewy. It came with 5 pieces k believe. The chicken was pretty good, and i liked the rice in it. It wasn't very spicy, more Flavorful. Overall it's a fun spot, it cost about 40 per person for a group of 3 and I thought it was a good amount of stuff (including each of us getting drinks)

    I will dream about this place and cry over the fact that I live over 1000 miles away. This was the first food stop of my Seattle trip and it set the bar HIGHHH. Highlight of the dinner was the CORN CHEESE ROTISSERIE CHICKEN. You have to get it, I was so sad after we ate the first one I was about to get another one. It was so yum! We also got the oden, the broth was amazing paired with the drinks. I loved how it's in a kettle as well. Everything inside just looked so cool. The teokkbokki was cooked as it should've been. Super yums. The drink were also really good! The melon manic was super sweet, could barely taste the alcohol if you wanna add more sweetener. The workers were all so sweet! Food came out quick, and honestly the vibes overall was just so cool and lively. This place will forever be on my mind

    My boyfriend and I came here after the first place we went to was really busy, but it was a Friday night around happy hour. We stopped by here and we got in right before they started getting fill. The service is good when you arrive and are seated but it's extremely hard to get anyone to stop by to check in on you or just walk by as they were busy. Once we did get someone's attention, we got the tonkatsu kimbap, small oden soup, Korean toast, and dak ttonk jip. The food here is pretty good and massive! The oden soup also comes with one rice and it is some of the best rice cakes I've ever had as it feels like eating a mozzarella stick. I also appreciate that they have shicimi on the table as I put that in my soup and it just made it even better. My boyfriend loved the kimbap. The dak ttonk jip is a lot spicier than other places that I've ordered at so my boyfriend couldn't enjoy it but it was delicious. The Korean toast was fantastic but it did start to get soggy, which I really don't like soggy bread but I eat slow. My mom tells me that this place is similar to how night life in South Korea is like and she says it's great that Washington has something like that. They were playing K-pop really loudly, playing a lot of the songs that came out when I was in high school so it was nostalgic. They do have a lot of seating both tables and chairs as well as bar seating. Besides the lack of service, it is definitely worth checking out to enjoy good food, music and overall vibes.

    Tasty food. Fast service. Very busy place with very little space to work with. It can be very tight when they're busy. Street parking only.

The bartender next to us was incredibly friendly and offered excellent drink recommendations. The drinks are on the pricier side, but the quality, presentation, and overall atmosphere make it worth a visit if you're in the area. The bar staff were kind, attentive, and helped make for a great experience.

The space is elegant, unique, and lives up to the photos. I also want to recognize the manager, who was polite, professional, and kindly explained that reservations were required. I completely understand and respect that policy. Unfortunately, my interaction with the bartender before speaking with the manager was the complete opposite. As I tried to get her attention, I felt like she repeatedly looked at me with annoyance and made me feel unwelcome. Rather than simply explaining the reservation policy herself, she went to get the manager instead. She had a problem with Hispanics. She refused to engaged at all. The way I was treated left me feeling uncomfortable and embarrassed, especially as someone who was genuinely excited to visit. A beautiful venue can only go so far when the hospitality doesn't match. I would have happily accepted that reservations were required if I had simply been treated with basic kindness and respect from the start. I truly hope this was an isolated incident because the location itself is stunning, and the manager handled the situation professionally. Unfortunately, because of my interaction with the bartender I've added in the photos, I don't see myself returning. Sadly they have a Prejudice bartender.

Parking can be a wee bit tricky so waking, ride share, or public transit will be your best options. But if you have to drive we found a paid lot a few blocks away While this wasn't the best tiki bar we've ever been to, it did stand out for the presentation of drinks, the cool (and massive) octopus, the immersion, and overall vibe is nice and atmospheric They have four non-alcoholic options which I really appreciated as the one driving for the night! They also have standard as well as unique takes on tiki drinks. We were surprised to find so many options with vodka and tequila which isn't common in a more traditional tiki bar We had the: - "Kiki Premier Mai Tai" which wasn't as rum forward as we would have thought, especially given how many rums it had in it; but overall it was a classic style Mai Tai and tasty with quality rums - "One Eyed Willy" which has a fun presentation in a chest with smoking dry ice. This one you could taste the rum more and overall it was a really enjoyable drink and experience - "See A Light" which is a non-alcoholic option and the taste was just as good as the presentation. Came in a lovely angler fish tiki mug with the light and everything! The taste was complex and something that thought went into creating - "Four Boys" another non-alcoholic option that was the coolest visual as it came in a "steaming" crock pot. The taste was very unexpected, in a good way, and is a drink I would get again Overall the drinks were about a 4/5 but with the charming atmosphere and whimsical presentation it's a 5 star experience that is just fun

    This place was highly recommended from my cousin who lives in Seattle. So while I was visiting for…read moreEmerald City Comic Con, I had to check this place out. First and foremost, you need to make a reservation. I did end up needing to move my reservation up because of scheduling but it worked out and the staff were really nice about helping me. This is a speakeasy inside Rumba, I did not know that going in. It's incredibly cool to walk into the bar. The decor is amazing. It's super small though with a few tables and bar seating. It was kinda loud when I was there since most tables were filled. My server was nice as well and was able to answer all my questions. Ambiance was exceptional and is such a cool place to visit. Most of the cocktails came with fancy show of some sort and were extravagant - and equally delicious. I got The Inside Passage, but there were at least three others I was trying to chose from. There was a lot of thought that went into the presentation of each of the drinks and I love that attention to detail. Since it was around dinner time I did want to order food and drink. They did not have the Kikisoba (they ran out) and that made me sad, but I was able to order the Rumba sliders and a basket of fries. I'm not a huge sliders fan, and I did order the caramelized pineapple on the side. The sliders were incredibly flavorful and the perfect size. For anyone wanting to visit Seattle, I do highly recommend this place. It's a really cool vibe and the food is really good too.
