Hot stone is THE BEST! The food was delicious and really lived up to its name. It stayed hot the whole meal! We went on a weeknight and were one of the only people in there, and the server was incredible. She took great care of us and provided us more fermented potatoes to add into our bowls. I would go weekly if I could. The kimchi bowl was so amazing, it was the perfect spice level for someone who hates spice, and had wonderful flavor. I had leftovers for the next 2 days that all tasted great as well!!

My little family and I came for dinner. The food was the absolutely best Korean sit down meal we ever had. The service was amazing. Customer service was excellent. My toddler loved the tofu soup & the fried dumplings. We were so excited to eat our food we forgot to take pictures! The portions were perfectly sized and was absolutely delicious. The woman restroom had a changing table.

Delightful restaurant. I had the bulgogi beef Bibimbap and added an egg on top of it. The rice on the bottom crisps on the hot stone bowl. Break the egg and it gets gooey among the rice. There's potatoes and vegetables to add to the bowl and they ask if you want more. I wish there was an add on sauce of some kind I could put with it. That's my only very minor complaint. The service is great. The atmosphere is great. And, best of all, the food is delicious.

Today we decided to try a different Korean restaurant rather than our usual one, as we were going about our errands. We sat down and checked out the menu. I ordered A4, the Dduk Bokki, which I've never tried before. The menu lists it as "stir fried rice cake w/beef, vegetables, and hot pepper". When I got it, it came in a boiling hot ceramic bowl. Looking forward to this delicious meal, I began to dig in. However, I was surprised to find there was almost zero beef in the meal. I picked and dug around for the beef, but in the entire bowl, only found a few meager and tiny (very tiny) bits. I called over the server to complain about the lack of beef, and he said that's how it just comes. I was pretty upset and asked why even mention the beef in the description when there is almost zero beef in it. I told him I didn't want this because it was misleading. He asked if I wanted to speak to the cook about it, and I said yes. When he came over, he was immediate confrontational! I complained about how the description was misleading, and that I didn't want to pay for it. Well, he got very angry and yelled and said that's how it comes! And would not cancel the order. I was going to walk out and not pay, but my friend insisted we just take it home and she'd have it. Anyway, the cook was extremely rude and unprofessional. I'll never go back there again. Here is a picture of the pathetic excuse for their idea of beef in the food. I'm not kidding! That's about all there was! Note: The server was very kind and understanding. That's the ONLY reason I gave it even 2 stars. Otherwise, it'd be zero stars due to the rudeness, hostility, and unprofessional behavior of the cook.

Sundubu and bulgogi (banchan taste good but portion is small)

Hucky K.

Pros: sundubu is authentic Cons: this isn't my favorite Korean restaurant in Olympia and its vicinity, portion isn't generous

The food here was amazing! My partner and I got the dumpling soup and kimchi soup medium spice. The soup was hot and comforting and the sides were very good as well!

Amazing food, really glad we came across it on our trip to Olympia. The army stew was my favorite. The lady who served us was really sweet!

We ordered bibimbap with beef, mixed tofu soup/bulgogi combo. Every dish comes with side dishes (banchan). The owner was very nice and friendly! She refilled our side dishes when we told her they were very yummy. Bibimbap: Super colorful with a variety of veggies. Really flavorful! The gochujang that comes with bibimbap was not too spicy. Tofu soup: since we got a mix of seafood and meat, the soup had an adequate amount of both. The tofu was very soft and easy to eat. I did wish the soup had more flavor, though. I think you can ask for the spicy level of your choice. We didn't ask so got a default level which was a tad mild for me. Bulgogi: the meat was very tender and had a good mix of onions! The dish was very flavorful, on the sweeter side. I loved it! Banchans: There were 5 different banchans. Our favorite was the cucumber! Yumm! I'll come back again when I'm in the area and craving warm food!

Sonia S.

First time here. Quickly greeted and told to choose our table. Looked over the menu, not too fond of tofu...eventually ended up ordering a Bulgogi Bi Bim Bap (aka a bulgogi bowl) and a Spicy Pork one as well. We were served hot tea and five different banchan with our food. I only cared for the cucumbers and the cabbage kimchi. Service was fast and friendly. Restaurant had people coming and going but not super busy. Prices are a little high--which bulgogi is pretty expensive these days, but I honestly was still kind of hungry leaving here. I would come back, but would try something else in the future--or possibly eat family style next to hopefully be more satisfying.

I really enjoy Hot Stone. Service is friendly and generally speedy. We stopped in for dinner on a Saturday. It was busy, but we got a table. I liked the bulgogi bowl I usually get, as well as the scallion pancake. I do wish they gave you a little more in banchan bowls, but I suppose they don't want it to go to waste. Overall another good experience. The person by me got the Japchae and it looked wonderful. I will get that next time.

Another visit to Hotstone, another kimchi pancake. Oh, so good! This time around, we added a thoroughly enjoyable dish of spicy pork bulgogi and a big bowl of steaming kimchi tofu soup. Since it was cold and rainy outside, the soup really hit the spot. The spicy pork was delicious, as always. And the banchan was plentiful and tasty. Mmmm! The best part of our visit was our server. She told us it was one of her first times on the job, and she was understandably nervous, but she did a great job! I really love this place. read more

I've eaten, Hot Stone several times now with months in between. I would say they were always fantastic and have gotten even better. The lady was so incredibly sweet and attentive and a good sense of humor. We had some good laughs and some even better food. It was a quiet Tuesday evening and it was just what we needed. We had the Budae Jigae which is ramen with, spam, bacon, hot dogs, and tofu. It was incredible and my go-to. We also added the, Chicken Bulgigi and I can't for the life of me remember the appetizer but it was spicy and awesome and also a sticky rice soup of some sort. I know the rating for Hotstone isn't spectacular but they're getting stronger. It's authentic, comforting, and full of flavor. Can't recommend them enough. read more

Delicious little Korean restaurant in the heart of Olympia, my wife and I came down from Kitsap to take my mom out to lunch, we decided to give Hotstone a try. It was as delicious as we had hoped for based on reading the reviews. I had the bulgogi Bibimbap, my wife had the Japchea, my mom had the chicken BiBimBop and my son the Kimchi BiBimBop. We were all impressed! Not only were the portions large, but everything was SO good and the service was top notch. If you're in the Olympia area and are either wanting to try something / someplace new, or are in the mood for good Korean food, do not hesitate to give Hotstone a try! read more

I'm a very selective diner who travels for work (dines out a lot) and am guilty of throwing away entire meals if I don't love or really enjoy them. That wasn't the case with Hotstone. It is a solid Korean food option. Service was quick and complete. I had to circle the area a couple times to find it, but find it I did! I ordered the Bulgogi and Japchae. One note is they were a bit light on the Japchae noodles. Would I diners there again? Yes read more

We were looking for a place to eat in the downtown Olympia area until we came across this Korean restaurant, which seemed to be a good place based off of their lunch menu. When we walked in, it didn't look like anything special in terms of ambiance, but it definitely did not look like a place we should flat out avoid. There were a few people seated at their tables, and, as we sat down, we were approached by an employee who provided us with average service. That was nothing to complain about. We ordered a few dishes including their bibimbap. Overall, the prices were not terrible, but the food was pretty average. I think, in terms of getting food when you're hungry, this is not a bad place, but I will not be coming back here as I did not find it to be anything special, nor did I find it to be better than most Korean places I've been to. read more

We went here for my daughter's birthday choice. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have ever tried it. The place was pretty busy, but the food came out quickly. I think the idea of the hot stone is great, and kept my meal warm throughout the time I was there. The food was just OK tho, and the price for what we got was outrageous! We paid over $150 for 5 people to eat chicken and rice. No drinks even. It's not a place I would go back to due to location (downtown Olympia), price, portion size and frankly the taste. read more

I enjoyed the flavor and service of this restaurant. I got the seafood tofu soup, spicy pork, and the spicy pork bibimbap. Unfortunately the portion sizes were extremely small so we ended up having to order the bibimbap to suffice. The ban chan tasted good but when I asked for more I found that they did not have endless ban chan like other Korean restaurants. The waitress ended up giving me another serving on the house. Overall a good spot to go with great service if you're in Downtown Olympia I just wished the portions were bigger for the price. read more

I stayed at a hotel nearby in Olympia & was so excited to see they had a Korean restaurant nearby. I ordered the chicken wings on my lunch break from work & despite me not picking it up until 30min later than I called in, the wings were still mildly crisp & warm. It had the perfect amount of sweetness, tanginess & spices. The women at the store was also very kind during pick up. A friend told me their bi Bimbap & japchae are also phenomenal! Overall, I'd definitely recommend this spot if anyone is looking for some authentic Korean food in Olympia read more

This place was really good! We were the only customers there and the food came out shortly after (~20 minutes). We ordered: - Korean fried chicken - C.1. Bulgogi beef and tofu soup (beef)(Combo) - Dduk bokki We liked the dduk bokki/tteok-bokki and Korean fried chicken, they were SO good. Large portions so we had to take them home. The Korean fried chicken came with about 6-8 wings and they weren't spicey at all. They were sweet, savory, and crispy. The dduk bokki was slightly spicey but definitely bearable. C.1 (Combo meal) was ok, even though the price for two sounded better than just ordering bulgogi, we should've done that instead as the tofu soup was lacking flavor. Also, the only side dishes we enjoyed were the cucumber and the kimchi. All of the sides were vegetables unfortunately. Our total came to about $60-66. However, we will definitely come here again!! read more

I absolutely adore Korean food- as in well rounded, varied, traditional, robust menus that exemplify the kaleidoscope of Korean fare. My partner though prefers Korean food in the form of AYCE Korean bbq. Suffice to say, I was very excited to try this spot in Olympia! The everything was delightful and came out with surprising speed! The banchan wasn't as impressive as it probably could be, especially compared to other spots in California we have been, but it didn't matter because we were too busy with our entrees. Our general "family style" order has always been a meat fish, a starch, and a vegetable. We went off course a little bit by ordering the beef bulgogi, fried rice, and tofu soup with dumplings. Usually I'm a big ole carbo gal with my sights set on the rice and noodles, but I'd leave them all behind to slurp that tofu soup every day. It was rich and creamy and spicy and filled me up in the most satisfying way. It was an evening of serious over indulgence and I would do it again in a heartbeat! read more

One of my favorite restaurants in Olympia. Somewhat pricey so it's a special occasion place for me. The service is absolutely part of the experience and I love it. The hostess/owner is a little hostile (rushes you to order etc) but silly and it totally works because the food is ridiculously good. I've enjoyed many delicious meals here and there will be many more in my future. Highly recommend. read more

The restaurant is easy to find, located in a plaza with other businesses, so there's plenty of parking available. I also like that their hours are posted in military time; it's a small detail, but it removes any confusion about opening and closing times. The space itself is on the smaller side, but it feels comfortable and welcoming. We arrived around 17:00 on a Wednesday and were seated quickly. Service was friendly from start to finish--menus were brought promptly, and we were asked about drinks right away (water was perfect for us). Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive without being intrusive, refilling our water and clearing dishes at just the right times. We started with the agedashi tofu to share. The broth was flavorful and the tofu was prepared well, with that soft, gooey, gelatinous consistency. While it wasn't quite my personal preference (I tend to favor a crispier texture), it was still tasty and likely ideal for those who enjoy it that way. For our main dishes, my son ordered the tonkatsu corn ramen, and I had the black garlic ramen (without bean sprouts--personal preference). This was our first ramen spot since moving to Washington, and it genuinely reminded us of a favorite place we used to visit in Sacramento. The broth was rich, creamy, and deeply savory--absolutely delicious. I especially liked that the ramen was served with a ladle instead of a standard soup spoon, which made it easier to sip more of the broth. The noodles were cooked perfectly--not too firm, not too soft--and paired really well with the toppings. My son even commented on the generous portion of noodles, which I joked was exactly what we signed up for when ordering ramen! We both finished our bowls feeling completely satisfied. The chashu and egg were highlights for me--I took my time consuming them. My only small critique is that I wish the ramen included a full soft-boiled egg instead of just half, especially with bowls averaging around $17. Overall, this was a great dining experience with flavorful food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. While I have a couple of minor preferences, I would definitely return and recommend it to others looking for quality ramen in the area.

Unfortunately, I was looking at an outdated menu on Yelp, so the spicy tofu soup is no longer on the lunch specials, AND if you want a "lunch special," it needs to be specified when placing the order. I assumed that because it was lunch time, I would be paying the lunch pricing? That wasn't the case when I arrived. Parking seems to only be on the same side as the barber shop (which i think is connected to the restaurant as well?). When I walked in, I didn't really check out the place. Seems like a classic no-frills Korean restaurant. An ajumma (아줌마) appeared at the register after a couple seconds (lol that is the first description that came to mind). I informed her of my phone order and she brought out the food and rang me up for around $55? I was thinking, yikes, that's a steep price for a spicy tofu soup and a lunch special of the galbi and mentioned it to her. She told me that the portion made is not the lunch special and next time, make sure to specify that over the phone if I want the Lunch special or dinner portion. She clarified, while acting out the mannerisms, of customers that would complain about the Lunch special, because they would want a dinner portion instead, so she just places general orders as the dinner portion. (I can already imagine the Karens she must have received for her reaction, which is understandable, but at the time, I was just slightly irritated since I was hoping to pay a cheaper price.) I am assuming after this experience, there is a difference in portion size for the lunch and dinner pricing.. Besides the miscommunication, I can at least say that the food was prepared quickly since it was ready by the time I arrived at the restaurant (about 15 mins after I placed the order?). With the outcast weather, I was craving some soondubu, and Seoul Garden definitely delivered! The tofu portions were generous and the broth was the right amount of spicy where you can taste the flavor but it is not overwhelming. I was not expecting so many complementary sides either! They paired very well with the rice and galbi, which was thoroughly marinated in a delectable glaze. Even though I was initially frustrated that I received the dinner portion, I calmed down after eating the galbi. My son and I actually ended up devouring it.. the food was so good, I totally forgot about the pricing at the moment. Just keep in mind though, this place is not advertised as KBBQ, so you're paying for individual plates/dishes/orders that should already be cooked. I would only recommend this restaurant if there are certain staples you really enjoy (i.e. you're only craving bulgogi but don't want to go out to eat or grill it), because it is arguably just as expensive as KBBQ. But if you're a foodie that can afford it, I'd suggest stopping by to try it out yourself! :)

Noodles were kind of overcooked, and there was not a lot of seasoning or spice (we ordered 3 stars for heat and could barely tell). Again, totally edible and somewhat tasty, but nothing to write home about. Prices seemed a bit high for the amount of food we got, and I wouldn't call it a great value by any stretch. I think there are other places in the immediate neighborhood that serve up a little more bang for the buck. It's a shame too, as I was hoping my first visit wouldn't be my last, but maybe I'll try it again sometime in the future.

I really really wanted to like this place. I've been saying that downtown Oly has needed a Korean spot for years, so that you don't have to go into deep Lacey for it. I just really wish the food here was decent. Decent would have been great. It wasn't even edible. I literally gave it to my co worker, because it was that bad. I went in and was quickly greeted by a very sweet woman, who was super friendly and ended up giving me kimchi, which was super nice. She's the reason this got 2 stars. Now for the food: I ordered the bulgogi bibimbap and a tofu japchae. I figured that these would both be pretty good basic representations before I went more adventurous. The bulgogi had no flavor. Like, none. And it was grey. I think it was most likely really poor quality beef marinated in pretty much straight soy sauce. As for the rest of the bibimbap, it was kind of depressing. Like. if she hadn't given me the "bibimbap sauce," gochujang, I would have assumed they'd made a mistake and just given me a rice bowl with some beef in it. Whatever veg was with the bap had zero flavor as well. So sad. The japchae was just a mess of oily noodles with little fried nuggets of tofu that looked so nasty I didn't even try them. It didn't have that sweet, savory, sesame kind of flavor that I'm used to. I tried to think of what I could do to salvage the dish, and I didn't know where to begin. I also kind of was shocked as these 2 meals were $27 after tax, before tip, for what was obviously really low quality ingredients. All in all, it's super cute in there. And the server was super nice. I'm happy that there's a Korean spot DT, but I'm really sad that all those people who've never had good Korean food and won't venture the extra 10 minutes think that this is what good Korean food is. read more

I recently stumbled upon a small Korean restaurant and boy, let me tell you, the ambiance was... umm... let's just say it wasn't exactly like dining in the Taj Mahal. But hey, who needs fancy decorations when you've got amazing food, right? At first, I was a bit intimidated by the old mean grandma running the show. I mean, she was giving us looks that could kill and I was starting to wonder if we'd made a huge mistake. We had read reviews saying she was super rude and mean and wondered if we would have the same experience. But, as it turns out, she was actually just a small old Asian grandma who was very funny and charming in her own way. Plus, she served us some of the most delicious spicy pork bulgogi I've ever had in my life. Seriously, I could not get enough of this stuff. The meat was tender and juicy, and the sauce had just the right amount of spice to make my taste buds sing. The kimchi was a highlight and the food came out in steaming hot stone bowls and plates. So, while the ambiance may not have been the most inviting and the grandma may have scared us a little at first, I would highly recommend this Korean restaurant to anyone looking for some seriously amazing food. Who needs fancy decor when you've got food this good? read more

Hotstone Authentic Korean Cuisine in Downtown Olympia is an absolute must-eat and a hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by extremely friendly staff who ensured a timely service. The quality of the beef, pork, and poultry is top-notch, and the ingredients are incredibly fresh. I ordered the Bulgogi Bi bim bap, which was an exquisite experience. Shaved beef rib eye served on a bed of white rice, green onions, and sesame seeds, accompanied by delicious sides like spicy kimchi, spicy cucumber salad, fish cake, and broccoli. The flavors were out of this world, and the hot stone bowl kept the food hot and made the rice at the bottom wonderfully crispy. The unique way the Hotstone bowl maintains the heat enhances every bite, making the food taste amazing throughout the meal. This place is definitely a must for foodies, and I can't wait to return to try another dish. Highly recommend Hotstone Authentic Korean Cuisine as a must-eat! read more

This place had me at hot crispy rice! So depending on what you get, you'll want to get anything served in a hot stone bowl. We've had the bibimbap and the bulgogi and the Japchae- all delicious. But whatever they put in the hot stone bowl is what you are going to want to order because not only does your food stay smoking hot through your entire meal while you are eating it, but at the bottom of your bowl is super amazing crispy rice that is formed as a by-product of this magical hot bowl. It's really difficult not to over-eat and gorge yourself on this food! Their avocado pearl smoothies are super yum so make sure you tackle one of those too! read more
