A lovely fine dining twist on Korean style quisine. Blooming with flavor and unique but palatable textures. The octopus is absolutely a chef's kiss. The Korean Bolognese is so delicious as well as the seafood Jeon that we got. Both are shared plates but each is definitely enough for one person. When it comes to the drinks the snow bird is definitely my favorite drink of choice hands down followed by the Autumn. Over all, Highly recommended and will definitely be coming back! read more

Service is stellar. So friendly and informative from every aspect. From the portion sizes to the flavors to expect. The food is delicious and portions are plenty for 1-2 people. The restaurant is a chill space to catch up with friends or have a nice date night. read more

One of my favorite restaurants ever, hands down. I booked a reservation for my friends and I at Paju after hearing raving reviews about the restaurant on social media, and I had to try it for myself. The menu is rather small, and only has a few dishes at a time, but among my friends and I (4 people total), we ordered about 7 small plates to share family-style. Paju is tapa-style Korean cuisine, with a PNW twist. The waiter had recommended that we order around 2 dishes a person, and it was definitely the perfect amount. The food is delicious, all of it really. My favorite menu items were definitely the truffle ribeye bulgogi and the octopus, but my friends also spoke highly about the paju fried rice and the ricotta. However, I definitely wish that I could have tasted more of the truffle from the fried rice, but it was still otherwise delicious. The restaurant itself is rather cozy, and only has a few tables. The waiters and waitresses were amazing, and super helpful in recommending dishes for us to try. Each time a dish was presented, the staff also took the time to explain the craftsmanship behind each dish -- I loved it! read more

The food here is really good. I enjoyed the spicy pork bibimbab. Place is clean and bright. Food came out quickly. Service could be slightly improved. Otherwise it's a great little restaurant and an exciting addition to SLU. read more

This place has now become one of my favorites in seattle! The atmosphere is intimate and quaint. Service is quick and friendly. And food is WOW! At first, I was worried that the portion to value ratio wasn't going to be good, but I was pleasantly surprised. Food portions were smaller, but that was intentional as the plates were all meant to be shareable. For two people, we had 4 dishes. Each had a great element of blending Asian flavors with something additional (ex: Bulgulgi with truffle) and the textures were great. The octopus was the best I've ever had. Each bite was amazing and the octopus melts in your mouth and the sauce with it was incredible blend of sweet citrus with creamy. I recommend eating everything slowly and trying to taste out each of the flavors. I've already recommended this place to all my friends and can't wait to come back! read more

Brandon and Tyler were wonderful to work with. Great communication before the installation of my water heater. They quoted a fair price and explained the options to me. Day of installation, Brandon came promptly on time and carefully and smoothly replaced my water heater. I would definitely recommend their services to my friends and family. Thank you Tyler and Brandon! read more

Talk about elevated! Paju gives a new spin on traditional Korean dishes and they do not disappoint. The place is small, so getting a reservation ahead of time is ideal. Our server was really great at explaining each dish and answering all of our questions. Each item we ordered as a group (we were a group of 6) was a few bites each, but packed with so much flavor!! I especially loved the Octopus and the Paju Fried Rice (the bacon and squid ink really made the dish). While writing this review, I wish I had the fried rice again haha. read more

Tapas-style Korean eats served in a cozy and modern space -- it's nestled right into the heart of Queen Anne, and I stopped by with some friends after catching a show at SIFF Theater. They have a constantly rotating menu, so I could definitely see myself coming back here to try it again! Given the price point, probably for a special occasion or nicer dinner, though also works well for small bites with friends. The ambiance is really nice! It's a fairly small dining room, so I would recommend for smaller groups of 2-4. We were able to get seated without a reservation on a Sunday evening, but I definitely think we got lucky here! The servers are very helpful and explained all of the dishes to us! My personal favorites include the Octopus, Crispy Seafood Pancake, and Sujeonggwa Bingsu -- literally everything we had was yummy though! read more

Had friends visiting in town and sent them to Paju. They were a little unsure of themselves as it was their first time in last night and there was only room at the bar, but the bartender made them feel comfortable and provided them with amazing recommendations. Thank you for making me look good Paju and thank you to the bartender for taking good care of my friends! read more

The best service, absolutely delicious food, amazing atmosphere and good vibes from the owner/chef!

We were honored to be asked to dine at their soft opening at the new South Lake Union location. If it is possible the food was even better than before. The new space has an open fire on which they are preparing steak and fish, a bar and a chef's counter. We understand they intend to continue to tweak the menu and will be adding more dishes over time but -- in our minds -- they remain the most interesting restaurant in Seattle. We cannot wait to see how they will use the new space. read more

Birthday dinner at Paju! We went on a Thursday around 6pm and snagged one of the 3 walk-up tables, the other two were taken with 15 minutes. The interior of Paju is modern and clean, and the place settings were elegant. For appetizers, we started off with the Mushroom dish and the Octopus. The Octopus was likely the star of the whole meal for me, it was tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We especially loved the addition of salmon roe in the sauce. For main dishes we shared the Truffle rib eye steak bulgogi and the Paju Crispy Pancake. The crispy pancake was especially delicious, while the bulgogi didn't necessarily stand out (Though still delicious). We ended the night with the Sujeonggwa Binysu which was similar to a shaved ice with a ginger cream and puffed rice, we quite enjoyed it. read more

I never made it to Paju in it's old location so I can't really compare, but the current version in SLU is quite awesome. Paju is named for a city in South Korea that's about as close as you want to get to the border with North Korea. The area hosts many US military bases, although I have a cousin who lives there and works at a Japanese factory. Anyway, while Korean in name and influences, the food and drinks transcend the traditional idea of Korean food and the results are thought provoking and delicious. We started off at the bar, which has just 5 seats but is an excellent place to start or dine, as it's right by the window. David, our bartender, was knowledgeable and was a great host for an hour. The house cocktails incorporate Korean ingredients, and the Vesper I ordered uses gin and Omija soju and was pink but dry as a bone. I also loved David's take on a Manhattan which incorporated some nice amaro. As for the food, we really enjoyed the "starter" dishes - the beef tartare and the yellowtail crudo in naengmyeon broth. The grilled octopus with dashima beurre blanc, smoked trout roe, yuja was also very nice with a delicate touch so that the octopus really shined. We also tried the signature ribeye, which was a really solid steak but perhaps not so Korean except with the small bites of banchan and kimchi. But the quality of the beef as well as the woods used in grilling (including almond wood). The Seattle Times noted that the room was smoky but that was not the case and in fact due to an installation issue with the vents which has now since been resolved. Service is polished and the staff here are very knowledgeable about the menu. Along with Autumn, Paju has been my favorite dinner out so far in 2024! read more

If you go, the octopus is a must order dish! It was so good...nice and tender and very flavorful. All the dishes we had were great but the octopus really stood out. When we were ready to order, we were told to consider the items on the menu as small plates and that for two people, three to four dishes should be good. I would lean towards the four dishes amount to feel satisfied. It was about $90 without drinks. It's a small restaurant. I would recommend reservations. While we were there, we saw them turn away people without reservations. Not sure what the norm is but it's easy to make a reservation on their website. read more

Awesome spot for a luxe experience and good food at a reasonable price. We ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice, Yellowtail, and Pancake and these were all modern takes and Korean inspired (very non-traditional) dishes with high-quality ingredients and exciting flavours. Our favorite was the pancake. The yellowtail was also great in terms of freshness and textures. Every dish arrived in a reasonable amount of time with a server talking through the features and thought process behind the dish -- we really enjoyed this! The ambience was dark and modern, which could be fun for dates. Overall great experience, will be back! read more

I absolutely want to give this restaurant 5 stars because the food was so amazing. I can't because the service after being seated was not the greatest. Not for the entire time but one of the server/hostess told us we need order because they had another reservation for our table. #1 we had just been seated and we (my friend and I) we're waiting for our husbands to be seated and #2 they asked us a few times to order and we repeated that we were waiting for our husbands before we ordered. I thought this server was rude. I also wish I could give this restaurant 3 stars. I won't because the remaining of our time was good. And the food was really good. The food was pricey. They serve tapas so everything is shareable - these are all small plates. So many of the dishes we ordered two. These dishes were btw $18-25 each. It was a good experience, I'm not sure if I will return. I can't get pass, what the server said to us. So rude. read more

Please do yourself a favor and get their beef tartare it is too good. Next time i come back i will not be sharing one with anyone but myself its been amazing to see the different takes and challenges Paju has taken since it opened. The ambiance feels so intimate yet versatile, its a space that leads to memorable conversations accompanied by delicious food!! You can get a taste of authentic korean flavors in every single dish. I think it would be really cool to connect the stories more between the ingredients and its origins because they are so fascinating. The staff were extremely friendly and let me to sit at our table despite us being almost 15 minutes early. read more

Truly an amazing night with my mom! We chose the 5:15 chefs table and had such a wonderful night. We got tea, the HH olives (delicious and a big bowl), the yellow tail starter was the STAR so delicious and refreshing, the seafood jeon (seafood pancake) okonomiyaki style was really great, the mushroom was incredible and super rich absolutely covered in shaved cheese and finally the whole branzino was so so yummy! It was cooked over wood fire in front of us and served with tiny delicious banchan. Such a lovely night. read more

Definitely not your everyday go- to restaurant, but definitely a place you would come to celebrate something special. Me and my husband came to celebrate valentines a day earlier and we they did a fantastic job in every aspect. It is a smaller, more intimate setting so make sure to reserve in advance. It's not too spacious inside so seating capacity is limited We ordered the octopus, risotto with truffle (their special), fried rice, and truffle bulgogi. All of them were very unique in its own ways and stood out. Each dish was around $20 here and there, but their risotto with shaved truffle was $45. Granted, it was a small dish but they were extremely generous with the amount of truffle they shaved on top ( in pic) I would definitely come back for a special occasion or celebration! read more

I just got back from dinner here, and I now believe every one that has raved about this place since it opened. There was even a bite that I'd put in my top 10 in all of Seattle! Finding an available slot to come here can be difficult, but we were lucky to get a day-of reservation for dinner. Be cognizant of events happening at Climate Pledge nearby, because that can often dictate how busy this place will be. All of the plates are meant to be served family-style, meaning that they're meant to be shared by everyone at the table. My girlfriend and I ordered five dishes total: the Octopus, Sujebi, Paju Crispy Pancake, Paju Fried Rice, and Truffle Bulgogi. The octopus came out first, and what a way to start. The octopus was cooked perfectly, and then it was coated in a rich, creamy beurre blanc and accompanied by smoked trout roe which provided a textural contrast to the octopus. The furikake powder sprinkled throughout really adds a familiar flavor to this elegant dish for those of us that use furikake for more rustic, home-y cooking. The Sujebi was next, and this was the bite that I'd put in my top 10 bites in all of Seattle. The bolognese was extremely flavorful and umami-filled. It was the perfect balance of salty and slightly sweet. The rice cakes underneath were cooked perfectly as well, resulting in a chewy rice cake that resembles the shape of a flattened rigatoni (without any ridges). The dish was topped with toasted breadcrumbs that provided an amazing crunch throughout each bite. And the small cut outs of Korean Pear provided a nice fresh crunch to offset the savoriness of the dish. I'd come back to Paju just for this. The crispy pancake came next, and it seemed to be a mix of a Korean seafood pancake and Japanese okonomiyaki. The interior was filled with various bits of seafood, green onion, and onion. The entire pancake is fried to develop a crispy exterior, and then topped with traditional okonomiyaki toppings (kewpie, okonomiyaki sauce, and katsuobushi). It was a very flavorful pancake, and I appreciated the Korean-Japanese fusion. The acclaimed fried rice was next, and the squid ink-covered rice was packed with flavor from accompanying bacon, kimchi, and smoked quail egg that you mix throughout the rice (similar to what you'd do with bibimbap). The rice texture was perfect. Lastly was the truffle bulgogi, which was amazing. The bulgogi is made with rib-eye, so it's incredibly tender. The bulgogi is perfectly balanced with salty and sweet elements, and the sauce naturally is soaked up by the rice underneath the meat, so the rice becomes extremely flavorful on its own. The crispy quinoa on top adds a nice crunch to the dish as well. This place is small, so I wouldn't recommend coming in a large group. There are several tables that look to fit 2-4 people, with a few larger ones that can probably fit 6-8 max. I wouldn't come with any more than that - it's already tough to get a slot here to begin with. Service was excellent during our dinner. Our waitress took the time to explain each dish on the limited menu, and she also explained best times to come and how often the menu rotates. With the space being so small, they're all able to be very attentive to their guests. Pricing is slightly higher than what you'd pay at a traditional Korean or Asian fusion spot, and part of that is because of the ingredients and techniques used here. For 5 dishes, we ended up paying around $145, with no drinks (tip included). This leans towards the fancier side of dining, especially with the dimly lit, tableside candle interior. Being so close to Climate Pledge in Queen Anne, parking options include street and parking lots. It shouldn't be too difficult to find a spot, assuming nothing is happening at Climate Pledge when you plan to go. If you ever need a good date night spot, this should be considered as an option. I'm definitely coming back to try other items as they rotate their menu. read more

Kept hearing how good paju was but looking at the menu online I wasn't very convinced. I'm always a little prejudiced against places that seem to try to "elevate" asian food. In retrospect, I don't think Paju first into that caregory. Instead, the ingredients are actually pretty simple and the natural flavors do the talking. Its just high quality components put together in simple but very intentional ways. Ordering of what I liked: 1. Bugak: expensive but the pocket of so many different tastes and textures in each bite was just happiness rolled into a dish 2. Octopus: I've just never had octopus cooked so well and tender. None of that brininess that can sometimes be overwhelming 3. Mushroom: other that maybe one of the types of mushrooms in there that I just didn't really like, the rest was amazing. The cheese just melts in your mouth in a very delicate way and coats the mushrooms in a delightful bite 4. Sujebi: really filling, loved the pear, a solid bolognese 5. Truffle Kimchi Risotto: love risotto, love kimchi, getting to the point where I don't recoil from truffle lol. I've never had truffle shaved into a dish in front of me so that was a cool first to experience. Also actually just never had fresh shaved truffle before period. Surprising how the pungency is both still there but also not really bad at all in a whole bite of truffle. Tasted good, but uh I really should've asked the price before electing to get the special. This was the most expensive item at over $50. Both the desserts were also really good, but I vibed with the actual dishes more than either of the desserts read more

Lower Queen Anne, Seattle. June 2022 This is a restaurant with a tight concise menu that should be able to make every dish stand out. The menu will rotate through different dishes so you won't always see something in person that you saw online. The owners try to avoid getting stuck with a label like "Korean fusion" by saying their cooking isn't Korean, unfortunately, they seem unable to get out of the "Korean food" box of price-to-portion value. I have to say upfront that my experience was clouded by the other diners. The reservation tables were mostly young Chinese socializing like they were having yum cha. They would attack every dish - and they ordered every dish - and stuff food in their mouth without talk ever stopping. The other tables were families with young children who were bored or bewildered by the food in front of them. I heard regular requests for "hot pot", or "stuff with the lettuce wrap", that were countered with "our fried rice and the bulgogi are our most popular dishes". The noise level was loud. So ... the food. Octopus. Crispy skin leg cut into bite size pieces sitting on a creamy orange ssamjang sauce. The oranges and tomato were perfectly paired to go with a piece of octopus dragged through the ssamjang. Rutabaga Ribbons. Served warm in a doenjang buerre blanc and topped with fine shreds of Parmesan. It looked like a pasta dish so I was expecting a softer al dente noodle bite but the rutabaga was still crunchy. I didn't see any white kimchi but the flavor was there. Everything was a little tart and funky. Truffle Rib-eye Steak Bulgogi. Served w crispy quinoa, enoki mushrooms, some green onions, garnished w chili threads. Underneath was a bed of nicely cooked grains of rice. If you like your own meal in a bowl then this is all you need here. But if you're going to share then a bowl is not the ideal plating. I suppose you could mix everything thing together Korean style the spoon out, but no instructions were offered. Either way, it is something everyone who wants meat would be happy ordering. Bingsu. A serving of sorrel granita, mochi cream, and dots of korean melon. Sorrel is an unusual choice for granita because the flavors can go all kinds of different ways. Cream was a nice pairing with a few bites - sweet, lemony, bright creaminess. Other bites the combination went off the rails - tart, herbal bitterness that lingered too long on the tongue. The beverage offering are so few, limited, and unappealing that I simply had water. I did not find the food or experience on par with what I recently had by bright young chefs in Koreatown, Los Angeles. read more

Made a reservation and was so glad to easily get a table before a show. The service was attentive, helpful, and kind. The food was so spectacular.

We had dinner at Paju and rate it excellent! If you're looking for an original and creative take on Korean food, go here. We ordered the Little Gem salad, octopus, bugak, mushrooms, sujebi, seafood jeon pancake, and the ($68!!!!) 13 oz. ribeye. Loved most of them, especially the mushrooms and sujebi. Didn't love the Little Gem salad or the 13 oz. ribeye (did I mention it was $68!!!!?). The salad was nothing really special nor was the way overpriced ribeye. Our recommendation is to order the small dishes and skip the salad and meat. Paju also has a lightly carbonated kind of milky Korean beer-like item on the menu--Kooksoondang makgeolli, I think it's called. Ask your waiter; it's very tasty for $9. We order four for the three of us and didn't regret it. I almost forgot: you MUST order the "shave ice" dessert. In fact, order more than one (you'll thank me). It was one of best and most creative desserts we've ever had, we all agreed--absolutely terrific. The room was very pleasant, with a nice view of the street and of Amazonians coming and going to and from work. Parking is on the street (not impossible) or in the very inexpensive Amazon garage around the corner on Republican. Service was also excellent! Our waiter was pleasant and knew the menu. read more

Oh my goodness! What a gem! I was a little hesitant about this place because one of my friends who is kind of a foodie said that she was underwhelmed. But I am so glad I tried this place! Another friend and I got the endive salad with burrata, pork belly with tuna tartare, squid ink fried rice, and truffle ribeye steak bulgogi. We loved everything! But our favorite was the bulgogi. It reminds me of a donburi with the sauce slightly coating but not drenching the rice in its liquid yumminess! The bulgogi already had rice but it was perfect with the squid ink rice coz the latter added a bit of saltiness to just take it to the next level. Service is pretty good! The servers were really nice. I would love to go back here with more people and try more stuff but also get the bulgogi and the squid ink rice again! read more

Paju - Endive salad - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Favorite food items: fried rice and octopus Mid-tier: Bulgogi Least favorite: yellowtail and tteokboki For the price point, portions were small. Everything was well made and had twists. Some of the flavors were more successful than others. The yellowtail was fresh but I wasn't a huge fan of how strong the citrus was. The treokboki, flavor wise leaned more toward jjajjangmyeon than classic red sauce tteokboki which is what I was looking for. The bulgogi tasted like something you get served at lunch at a large Korean church after service. The only difference to that was the textures coming from the crispy quinoa and charred enoki. The octopus and fried rice were the winners for me. It was fun to check out, but I don't see myself becoming a regular. Service was okay. People who stopped by were pretty casual. read more

The ambiance was nice, but the tables were a bit too close together. Service was just fine. The food, however, was excellent and exceeded my expectations. - Beef Tartare (5/5): Absolutely loved this! The seasoning was refreshing and light, highlighting the freshness of the beef. The Korean roasted seaweed paired perfectly with the tartare - such a great combination! - Octopus (3.8/5): Cooked to perfection - crispy on the outside, soft and tender inside. The only downside was the sauce, which didn't leave much of an impression and I would rather eat the octopus without the sauce. - Mushroom (4/5): Super juicy and flavorful mushrooms. I really enjoyed them! The only slight issue was the cheese flakes - there were a bit too many for my taste, making it a little salty at times. - Seafood Jeon (5/5): The best seafood jeon I've ever had! I usually get full easily and was worried it might be too heavy, but it was surprisingly light and crispy. Most part of it was made with perilla leaves and leek (or scallion?), which gave it a really fresh taste. Loved it! - Dry-aged Ribeye (4.5/5): The ribeye itself was solid, but what really stood out were the side dishes. There were four in total, and three of them (excluding the sauce) were so good that I'd like to buy an entire jar if I could! The kimchi was the best I've had in Seattle. The green vegetable (not sure what it was called) had an amazing wood-smoked flavor, and the pickled eggplant was super tasty. If there's a seasonal menu, I'd definitely come back to try more. read more

Having traveled around the world with my husband, tried many Michelin star rated restaurants, we've never come across an ambience, the artistry, the creativity and the complexity of which Paju's cuisines were delivered. As Korean Americans each dish brought a filed memory instantly of the taste, yet so indistinguishable of flavors and texture that was new to our palette. We would like to extend our sincerest appreciation to chef Bill and his entire restaurant staff for making our experience exquisite! read more

Great service of a delicious take on Korean cuisine - we'll be back to try the rest of the menu!! Order for 2: - Sea Bream Crudo (4/5): a little too heavy on the citrus but still delicious - Salmon Rillettes (4.5/5): a tad bit salty with the Guanciale but overall a delicious single bite with so much to dissect - Octopus (4.5/5): perfect bite of caracara + tomato + octopus. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough of the sidekicks (caracara/tomato) to pair with each bite of octopus - Bulgogi: (4/5): Yummy but we were hoping for something more than a luxury Yoshinoya bowl - Paju Pancake (5/5): the best of the bunch! Plenty of seafood and green onion topped with bonito flakes. Crispy edges provided nice contrast in texture. Tastes like home :) Drink: Chenin Blanc "Cresci" 2020 - delicious recommendation Service (5/5): - Walked in earlier than our scheduled reservation and after a quick shuffle of iPad magic, were quickly seated - Especially appreciated the server moving the table candle away from the chilled wine bottle - the attention to detail was stellar! - Each finished dish was quickly removed and shorty replaced by the next dish. Absolutely perfectly timed meal :) We will absolutely be back to try the rest of the menu (endive, rutabaga, pork belly, fried rice, and lamb) and probably add another Paju pancake to the mix :) Cheers, Paju! read more

Paju - Seafood Jeon! Delish. - Korean Near Me - Seattle, Washington

My cousin and I decided at the last minute to eat at Paju on a Wednesday night. Surprisingly they said that we did not need to make a reservation and they can accommodate us at anytime . We got there around 7pm and there was plenty of tables left. This is a cute little restaurant and a great place for a date. We ordered: Salmon carpaccio (8/10) : I like it and thought that the salmon was fresh and it had a lot of flavor to it. Endive salad. (6/10): I really wanted to try this dish because I thought it was really unique! Which it was. There was this sauce that had a Smokey taste to it that I kind of did not like . It made it taste almost a little burnt. After you get past that burnt taste then I thought it was okay ! Beef tartare (8/10): this is probably my favorite dish there. I thought the beef was very flavorful and the seaweed chip was yummy. Octopus: (7/10): octopus meat was very tender , I just wish they gave us enough tomatoes and fruit to go with each bite of octopus. Squid ink fried rice (6/10): I thought this dish was okay. I was expecting more kimchee taste and wish they had add a little protein to the dish ... like pork belly or something like that . There was also not a lot of kimchee . I felt like I was eating rice with ink and that was it . read more
