We have eaten here a few times and each time the food is excellent. The Korean BBQ plates are amazing. If you can stand the spiciness, go for it. Make sure to get the stone pot rice, too. This time we tried the fried chicken and we were in for a little surprise. The batter had some kick to it, which was good. Note, though that the fried chicken takes a while to arrive so keep that in mind. The service is mostly great. When they're busy things take a little longer, but what place doesn't have this challenge? Give this place a try, it's definitely worth it! read more

Food and price was great. The service was ok. For 3 of us we ordered an appetizer and 1 combination and it was plenty of food.

Please please do UberEATS!!! You guys are the only good Korean restaurant in this area

I am so Happy that this place is here! Finally a good Korean restaurant on the Eastside! I went for the first time last night.. it was clean, service was friendly and fast and the food was delicious! I don't have to drive to Lynnwood or Federal Way for good Korean food anymore! Hooray!! read more

When we initially walked in, it took a bit of time to be seated. We noticed that there weren't enough servers to handle the dinner rush, but I have to admit they were working very hard. We ordered the spicy tofu soup, but after a brief mixup of our order, they were kind enough to bring us an order of the fried wings on the house. Outside of slow service, the staff was very courteous and the food was excellent. Be sure to order the fried wings! read more

Our go-to korean place on the eastside. Everything is delicious but we have seen a decline in portion size and service and an increase in price the past year. They strategically don't give you banchans until your food comes out so you don't eat a lot and so they don't have to give you more. Korean food is more expensive than other Asian food because the price of the banchan is built-in to the price of their dishes. Skimping out is just robbery! And when we need more banchans, the servers try to dodge you and you can barely flag them down. However, there is ONE female server who is really nice and who gives us banchans and water when we run out. She's younger and we are always excited when she's our server. The food is still good but we might venture out to lynnwood from now on for korean food. read more

Best soon tofu soup I've had... and I NEED to mention the cucumber kimchi. Oh god, it's to DIE for. Sometimes I'll come here and order a soon tofu soup just to eat the cucumber. UGH YES read more

Out of no where Korean restaurant but good food. Order a tofu soup and kalbi. A little pricey but it was worth it.

Expensive and portion is too small. Would rather to go to Lynnwood to try more traditional and better value Korean food there. read more

This is specifically for their tofu hot pot. Been there twice and had three different kinds of tofu hot pots. Seafood, pork and beef. The meat qualities from all three are pretty bad. I would use the word "unedible" to describe how unfresh they are. Perhaps their other kind of dishes have better quality meat, but they really need to improve those in tofu hot pot. They also charge about 30% more on this type of dish compare to other places nearby. read more

Both the marinated and regular fried chicken is good. Their other dishes like the tofu soup and bulgogi are decent too. Good choice for Korean food in the Eastside. read more

See all

Food is good. We like fried chicken, ribs and pancake. Prob one of the better ones in Seattle. 4 stars is mostly because the environment, not bad but a little greasy. read more

This used to be our go-to Korean spot. We were extremely loyal. However, we don't think it's a coincident that after they expanded and added a second location to South Lake Union, changes occurred. We have costed twice on a lunch and dinner occasion. My fiancé ordered the Bi Bim Bop both times, and he the portion size of both the meat and rice is greatly reduced. The rice is half the amount, and the meat which used to be generous and visible on top of the platter when served is sparse and buried under the vegetables. We are guessing eithe the original al cool went to the South Lake Union location and they failed to vet the new cook on proper portions, or they are compensating for the new overhead cost of their second location. The kimchi beef tofu noodle soup also seems to have reduced in meat. Such a shame. read more

Very delicious Korean food. Would totally recommend! I had Bi Bim Bop and some noodle soup.

I ordered take-out yesterday. The jap chae was absolutely delicious. Far better than I am used to from a very variable dish. The vegetables were fresh, the beef was quality, and the sauce was flavorful. I also got marinated fried chicken, which was also amazing. It was juicy, and the sauce was bold, yet not too sweet or spicy. A perfect combination. However, I had some weird after-effects from the food. I fell asleep last night and dreamed that Donald Trump had become a presidential nominee. I woke up at 4 AM in an ice-cold sweat. Now I'm afraid to close my eyes again. read more

A bit spendy but pretty good, the atmosphere seems really nice even though I only took carry out from there. They give you a ton of side dishes. Also kind of hard to find because it's hidden behind the gas station/mcdonalds. read more

Nice and friendly service. Portion of foods that we ordered was big, (although it was a bit on the pricey side for me). Ordered the soft tofu soup, it came out burnt and sent it back to the kitchen. The waiter was apologetic and brought out a new one. Lots of banchan and the waiter was generous on asking if we wanted more when the dish was empty. It's best to dine in than order to go. read more

This is one of the best Korean restaurants on the Eastside. Their food and service has always been consistent which can't be said of the other Korean restaurants on this side of the lake. Their stews and fried chicken are our favorites. Their fish is good as well. They are generous with all their sides and always happy to bring out more of whatever you'd like. read more

I am any easygoing diner that eat at many Korean restaurants. My love for Korean food is so enormous that I am at times reluctant to critique any Korean restaurants. My wife, who is far more critical will tell you that I am way too easy and not picky enough. With that said, when I am critical, it has to be very bad. The Stone Korean Restaurant (unfortunately, they only one in Redmond) has it's challenges. In particular, today for lunch, I got my usual, Kimchee Jigae, one of my favorite dishes. Usually, the taste is not as good as other Korean restaurants, but edible. However, today, it was barely tolerable, even for me. First, kimchee jigae ALWAYS comes with pork as any Korean person will tell you. But they insist on asking if you want no meat, pork, beef (double yuck), or chicken (even more blasphemous and rather throw up in my mouth). As a true Korean, of course, I made a disgusting face (inward in my mind, of course) and ask for pork. Well, this time, I got beef, very little kimchee, had more onions and scallions in it - it is after all called KIMCHEE jigae for a reason. Needless to say, it was disgusting, salty, and terrible! This will be the last time I will eat Kimchee Jigae at this restaurant! Do me a favor, if you are a Korean (or non-Korean for that matter) eating here, ask them WHY are they making Kimchee Jigae WITHOUT pork!!! That's like making a pizza without sauce or cheese, or hoagie (subway) without the bread, eating apple pie without the apples. Would you like beef in your apple pie, sir? YUCK!!!! read more

I really like this place. The short ribs and the plum wine Mmmm just cant get enough of. I keep recommending this to everyone I know. read more

Stone Korean Restaurant - My favorite...Plum wine and short ribs - Korean Near Me - Redmond, Washington

This is my go to Korean restaurant. It's not cheap but also not expensive. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Their fried chicken is one of my favorite things and their side dishes are always on par and a nice palate cleanser if you're eating something spicy. Nothing bad to say about them. Highly recommend if you're looking to explore a little. read more

I like this Korean place in Washington state, I lived in San Diego and Hawaii, generally I am pretty disappointed in Korean place around here, but this one is good. I like their tofu dishes, and that's what I order there most of the time. Fried Chicken is also decent there, haven't tried other things there yet. read more

I'm so glad I found this place. Now I can get authentic Korean food without having to drive all the way to Lynnwood/Edmonds. Service can be a little hit and miss (I've been here 4 times, service was good 3 times and not-so-great once), but the food has never disappointed. I love their kimchi, their tofu soups, and their kalbi. I thought the fried chicken wings were decent but I wasn't blown away. I guess I was expecting nirvana from the reviews posted here, but they were a bit dry. Anyway, that doesn't dampen my enthusiasm for this place; the rest of the food that I've tried has been really good. read more

Be sure to try it all because we got a tip from the waiter that, "everything is good here".

It is a good quality Korean restaurant great for when you are craving Korean and in the area. I had the kimchi soft tofu soup and beef bibimbap. I can see people who can take spice really liking the kimchi soft tofu soup, but it was a bit too spicy for my taste. read more

Not everything I expected from a Korean place. The qim chi was decent but nothing to be excited for.

Delicious! This will be a new must go to place when we come to visit! My hubby and I both ordered the chicken and pork Bibimbap. It was fresh, filling and flavorful! read more

Great Korean food. Spent a year eating in KoreaTown in LA and this was on par. Generous portions on the entrées. Great seasoned Korean potatoes - cold. We wanted more. Could up the portions on the sides. The spicy barbecue pork was excellent. Will be returning! read more

Really enjoyed the food here, especially the fried chicken and tofu soups. The service was just okay. They failed to write down my reservation so we had wait 10+ minutes for a table and although they took our order pretty quickly, no one came to check on us the rest of the night. The grilled meat prices are high considering what you get. read more

We used to take our kids to the Peking Restaurant for years and was kind of saddened to see that it had closed, for sentimental reasons. It was, however, frayed around the edges and needed some serious updating. I was pleased to find out that a Korean restaurant had replaced it and was eager to go there. We went for lunch and my wife had the bul-go-gi & I had the kimchi stew. As a couple of the previous comments had mentioned, the service was very slow, and it even took quite a while before we were even offered something to drink. I would estimate that it probably took a minimum of a half an hour before we received our order, which is not very acceptable for lunch hour since many people had to get back to work. A couple of patrons gave up waiting and left without ordering. That being said, the food was very good, and especially liked the rice in the stone bowl. It is my hope that this restaurant is working out the kinks in its service and that will improve since it is still fairly new. I will definitely go back, with the expectation that their management will improve its service. read more

I had the sizzling spicy chicken. Sadly it was pretty bland and certainly not spicy. For the price I expected more flavor....would now get the local spicy chicken teriyaki!! Service was polite and food was served quickly. Just overpriced for the quality of the food. read more

Amazing, Delicious, Wonderful! I can't say enough great things about this place. The food is excellent. The service is friendly and helpful. The price is right. I will be going back! Absolute favorites were: the tofu salad (I'm not a tofu person....this was really really delicious), and the homemade pickles with chili flakes. Went with my gf on Thursday and just ate half of the leftovers today, they are still awesome incredible. We were REALLY hungry and ordered the Stone Special #1 with two easy tweaks: mollusk allergy, so no clams etc in the seafood soup, and pork on our own menu for Friday so spicy chicken substituted for spicy pork. I shudder to think about how many Korean grandmothers are chained in the kitchen cooking the deliciousness. read more

Another review I would have to write on. The is also a small joint that is awesome in their food and service. Their service was very accommodating and super friendly. I was surprised because compared to many other korean restaurants about the service, this place is outstanding and super friendly. Their "Bibimbap" is super super good!!!!!!! Give this place a 10 star!!!!!!! read more

The kalbi is really great and good choice for dinner. They have a combo with tofu soup and kalbi. Perfect combination. And you do not have to wait. read more

I keep coming back although originally I wasn't that impressed. I wish they would step up their game a bit and be the place I could go for dinner rather than a lunch spot. read more

Searching for some authentic Korean food as we are preparing our palates for an upcoming trip to Korea, we turned to our fellow Yelpers for advice. Y'all did us right with Stone Korean! We ordered the tofu soup as suggested - it was tasty but not my favorite item (I'm not really a lover of tofu soup, so not the best judge). We ordered kalbi and bulgogi - what were we thinking?! So much yummy food - especially with all the delicious side dishes and the stone pots of rice. We ate ourselves full and still took home enough for lunch the next day. Spicy, savory, sweet, sublimely excellent food! There are many other menu items we look forward to sampling - most likely we will be sharing a meal next time. Those chicken wings looked so delicious - next time we must try them! Beer & wine are available, but we opted for tea. Servers are friendly and efficient, the atmosphere is clean and stylish. This place is a real gem! read more

Long wait. It isn't my first time, but it's always been disappointing. Taste isnt bad but I wouldn't recommend going since it takes so much time to get the food, roughly 40 mins. read more

Best kimchi and bulgogi I have had in Washington! I go here for lunch sometimes and also do takeout. The portions are plentiful and I often have leftovers which heats up really well! The best part of the bulgogi, which can sometimes leave you in a lurch (i.e. Fatty and grisly) is that it is lean and delicious! I haven't even told you about the plethora of kimchi you get: regular kimchi, zucchini, potato, onion... it goes on and on and they are all equally wonderful, of course, depending on your palette. They give you several to test out so, chances are, you will at least like one or two. This is as great a dinner place as a lunch place. Those expecting an ambience that matches the quality of flavors and food (which is high-falootin!), be aware. This is a local, "don't eff with my decor," "it's as I want it," kind of place. Not to say it isn't nice but the food is first and foremost here. Go! Go! Go! I tell you- go. read more

If you are looking for good Korean close to DT Redmond, this is definitely the place to go. The Kalbi and spicy pork are excellent. The beef bulgogi is tasty too. The cold cuts included with the meal are also good. We usually do takeout, but service was decent the one time we dined in. I'm giving it 4 stars just because it's a little pricey for the amount of food that you get, though I suppose comparable to some other Korean places in the area. read more

The food is very tasty, but know that the cost is disproportionate to the serving size and similar restaurants. Expect $22 per entree. Similar Chinese or Thai restaurants would compare at $15-17 per dish. read more
