    I treated myself to a relaxing birthday at the Korean spa, and after my treatment, I stopped by their cozy in-house Korean Q café--and I'm so glad I did. I ordered the spicy seafood ramen, and it absolutely hit the spot. The broth was rich, spicy, and comforting with just the right level of heat. Generous portions of shrimp, squid, and mussels were nestled among perfectly chewy noodles. It felt nourishing and soul-warming, especially after time in the spa. For my drink, I had a cup of barley-infused hot water, which was calming and earthy--such a nice traditional touch that paired beautifully with the meal. The café itself had a peaceful vibe, in line with the serene atmosphere of the spa. Whether you're just finishing a treatment or looking for a comforting Korean dish, this hidden gem inside the spa is worth a visit. A simple but memorable way to end a birthday of self-care and relaxation.

    After a lovely few hours relaxing in Q sauna I was beginning to feel a bit hungry. I decided to take a break and cool down with some food. I was very quickly seated at a table when I entered and handed a menu, and the waitress quickly filled up a mug with tea for me. I looked through the menu, and decided to order the bulgogi and the cinnamon ginger punch. I was immediately given the punch and it was delicious! It was sweet, strong in cinnamon flavor, and really refreshing and cooling. About 10 min later I was served the bulgogi with rice, and 8 sides. Everything tasted great! I ordered the small size which was a good size for me. Definitely a good place to refresh while visiting Q sauna!

    Q Cafe has never disspointed me :) Food always good. Service is amazing. The owner always nice & friendly to me. I love the location that can be access from the Q Spa & outside. Here more picture today!

    (1) Entrance very unassuming. Close to sketchy (2) Table service good. Food delivery very slow. (3) Food very tasty.

    You want the best you have to look for the best. I literally found this place about 6 or 7 years ago. Ever since then, I'm a huge fan!!! Its behind the Q Spa Sauna. The enterance is the back door of the sauna, but the food here is literally amazing!!! The owner cooks the meal like healthy meal in Korea! Must try place! You will not be dissapointed

    House salad was yummy.

    Had a nice lunch at this small place. It's adjacent to a spa and a lot of their customers go directly from the spa to the restaurant. The food was good. The service was also fine.

    Mackerel and pork cutlets

    This place is so freaking good. From the side items, to the mackerel, to the pork cutlets. Everything is good.

    Wow...this place is amazing, not just as a spa restaurant but just by their service and food quality in general! I've been here twice, both times when I go to the spa. The first time, we got ttobokki which was a little too sweet so I would skip that. This time, we ordered the Boiled Pork Belly and Seaweed Soup, which came with rice and banchan (side dishes). Get both dishes!! The pork belly was so succulent with a slight crispy skin and a perfect dipping sauce to go with it. The seaweed soup had such an umami flavor and was so comforting! Their complimentary tea is also delicious, so try it. After our meal, we always get a bingsoo (snowflake sherbet) - strawberry and mango are my favorites! They offer takeout and have a back door for guests who want to dine without using the spa, but you still need to take off your shoes (they provide slippers) while inside the restaurant. Highly recommend!

    We were craving Korean food after a 7 day Alaska cruise. This restaurant is attached to Q Spa & Sauna. We all got different dishes and it was okay. Not the best we've had but understandable. The portion is huge so can def share a dish with two people. We were pretty disappointed with the seafood pancake since it was so salty which we told the waitress and she waived it at the end. The staffs can be friendly but at times a bit standoffish. Seems like a lot of locals eat here too along with the spa guests.

    a table full of asian food
    Thomas Z.

    Ordered beef ramen, beef rib soup, kimchi beef stew, mango bingsu, and stone bowl rice. Good meal with one flaw: everything was a bit too salty. The kimchi side dish was insanely salty. The best dish was the non spicy kalbi soup. Bingsu really hit the spot at the end. Not good enough to visit twice but if you are in their q sauna next door this place is your only option.

    Injeolmi bingsu
    Anna M.

    We've been here twice, once for cheese rabokki and once for bingsu, and were pretty impressed both times. In terms of bang for your buck, there are some other places that serve more quantity-wise for the same price or less, but the quality here is great and the service has been consistently very nice and sweet :o) It's also super clean because it's connected to the sauna, so folks in the cafe are just sliding around in their socks. The cheese rabokki was really good and unique to other ones we've had. Instead of imsil or mozzarella, it had (we think) a mexican cheese mix with (we think) parsley flakes (and unfortunately no fish cake or green onion or egg). But it was still really tasty! We also really enjoyed their bingsu, which is made from shaved milk whereas most places around here seem to make the shaved ice variety. There was no condensed milk served with it, but it had plentiful rice cakes and almonds and was plenty sweet on its own. The ladies waiting tables and running around have been very kind and patient, always greeting us as we come and go. Even though it's more expensive than other places serving similar food, the service and environment and quality will definitely have us coming back in the future.

A lot of options on the menu but I ended up ordering their rosu katsu with oroshi ponzu sauce (basically grated radish and ponzu on the side). This was a good choice as I was able to try their tonkatsu with the grated radish ponzu sauce and alternate with the regular tonkatsu sauce that's provided on the table. Only thing I wish they did was provide unlimited cabbage salad and rice which other tonkatsu places I've been to did. Parking was easy. Just use the retail parking lot located at Ember Apartments (parking entrance is off 40th Ave W). If you need to wait, there's always He Cha Lou next door.

So they must have ironed out opening kinks because we had a better experience this time around. The katsu we ordered were all good. The rosu pork is my preferred cut, because it is a little fattier than the tenderloin. It was tender and crunchy outside. I loved the grated radish. One of us got the salmon katsu and she loved it. It was a thick slice, but it looked moist inside. Our server was really nice and knowledgeable with her suggestions. The food came out without much wait, even if they were about 80% full. The server was attentive, always asking us how our food was and refilling our ice waters. Love the space and tasty, simple decor of this restaurant. There's covered parking attached to the apartment complex above. This place is surely comparable to the other katsu places here in Seattle. I'm glad it's in our neighborhood.

We came in the evening after day 2 of Geekfest and it was pretty busy inside. Luckily there was a spot open for two so we were seated and given menus. The inside is a bit dim, there were lots of tables with chairs or booth seats throughout, and there was even bar seating as well. My boyfriend ordered tonkotsu ramen and crunchy salmon roll as well as takoyaki to share while I got their red volcano tonkotsu and a Thai iced tea. I noticed there was a Japanese customer who spoke with one of the waitresses and she spoke Japanese back and it was cool to see and hear that! I wonder if the owners are Japanese as well as it's rare to find actual Japanese owned restaurants. The service here was friendly, courteous and they did check in every so often. The choice of music playing was quiet cafe music which was interesting but it was so hard to hear. My Thai iced tea came first then the takoyaki. Afterwards, our ramen bowls came not too long after that and the sushi roll came in last. I am so happy to say that the takoyaki was the perfect ratio of batter, octopus, and sauces on top. The ramen broth was hearty and smooth. I loved how spicy my red volcano tonkotsu was especially because I love things extremely spicy and it was definitely a fantastic ramen for spicy lovers. My boyfriend said he was very happy with his roll and ramen. He usually doesn't order ramen too often especially on a hot day but he said he was happy he did as it was one of the better ones he's had. My Thai iced tea was the right amount of sweetness and the perfect thing to sip on while handling my spicy ramen. I definitely want to come back to try their other selections.

I did and then waiting right outside the door only to watch 3 parties walk right in front of me. I'm going to give the benefit of the doubt and say some had reservations, but I knew two did not as I heard them discuss "oh they shut off the check-in" tablet. The area was disorganized and the host could have done a better job at asking who was next rather than just taking whoever was in front of him. This kind of service is well below the mark. If you like Kura, go to the Bellevue location where service is much more pleasing and accommodating. I have never had an issue at that location. This wasn't a one time issue. Last time at the Lynwood location, they took forever to even deliver water and wasabi. As a paying customer, you deserve better!
