    Rice bowls & Ambiance. Great for a date. Lively athmosphere with fresh fusion food. A Seattle must. Eat at the end corner of the butcher block counter and watch the chefs in the open kitchen.

    This place has a very cool atmosphere and the Lady Gardner drink( or I think that's what it was called) is awesome! The tuna and short rib rice bowls are excellent! VERY GOOD FOOD, and decent prices.

    I can't share enough praise for the Dungeness crab noodles, but also be sure to check what their house soju is for the night and you HAVE to get dessert or you don't get the full experience.

    Dine at the butcher block bar and watch the chefs do their magic. The food here is simply amazing. Try one of their rice bowls for sure.

    They make their pasta noodles in house - the king crab noodle bowl was very tasty, but my favorite was the dense chocolate brownie with toasted marshmallow

    The beef dumplings were outstanding. They redefined dumplings for me. Brown sugar ice cream dessert is simple but also delicious.

    Noodles, pancakes, dumplings, and rice dishes are on offer at this Korean-influenced restaurant. Weekend brunch means Revel Ramen, with kimchi the key.

    Short ribs and rice was really good! I asked for the short ribs to be cooked medium rare and it was perfect! Bing su was also really good, but smaller than expected

    Sat at the butcher block table and had a fantastic meal. Corned lamb salad was delicious and the short rib rice bowl was a super hearty meal.

    The revel brunch with bacon steak is amazing but the bacon is pretty oily and heavy so you'll either love it till the end of have too much of it in the end

    My favorite Asian fusion food in Seattle area. Though it has a very short list on the menu, but it won't go wrong even you randomly order anything, because everything is good!

    This place was bomb. Try the tofu rice bowl (vegan wout the egg). Incredible combo of flavors in this dish.

    I've never been crazy about Korean food until I ate here. Every single thing we had was incredible, we couldn't stop raving about how good it was.

    Perfect for groups of friends because it's encouraged to share everything with the people at your table. Interesting drink choices and menu to choose from.

    A lot flavors in their dishes. Try to find a good balance of fresh ingredients and meats and you will make the meal more enjoyable. The miso paste sauces is great and reminds me of Korea

    Atmosphere and service was great. We sat at the counter and watched the entire cooking process from our seats. However, this is definitely a fusion restaurant... Absolutely not authentic Korean.

    Short rib dumpling and the pancake were so good. Lemongrass beef noodle also really good. Mix it all together with their sauces... Truly great!

    Soba noodle and tuna rice are awesome! They could get very crowded and no reservation taken for party less than 6.

    This follow-up to Joule is casual, largely Asian street food inspired and a fantastic (reasonably priced) experience for brunch, lunch or dinner. Get cocktails at Quoin after dinner. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    Amazing follow up to Joule. Try the Tofu with Chinese Broccoli, all of the dumplings and pancakes... and which ever speciality cocktail strikes your fancy (for me, anything with St. Germaine)

    Must-have is the crispy shrimp edamame mint pancake made from mung beans and smeared with the house-made savory chili bean paste. Read more

    Nice staff and place, good for brunch. We order pork katsu with biscuits and lamen. Everything was delicious! Just the pound cake was little bit bland.

    The vegetarian rice is amazing and so are the noodles. Cater well to big group dinners. Staff is super friendly. Food cost is relatively good.

    Don't be scared of the phrase "corned lamb" this salad was phenomenal. Just spicy enough yet light enough to accompany any if their other amazing dishes... Dumplings!

    Delicious small plate dining. Big flavors even if you stick with the veggie dishes. For seafood eaters, the crab noodles are rich and really really good.

    The Potatas Bravas dumplings were a little too heavy for me, but the pork ones were fantastic. Great vibe that seems good for an individual, couple, or group.

    Two words: crab bowl. Delish! Great place to try lots of small plates with a small group or a couple out for a night.

    On hot days try the Lazy Gardener for a refreshing drink. Great vibe, love the butcher block bar. Veggie/vegan options won't disappoint.

    Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but highly recommend the Roasted Duck Tea Noodles, Short Rib Rice, and the Short Rib Dumplings!

    The BBQ pork monkey bread is the best ever. But they ran out of stock this time. Had this cardamom monkey bread and it tastes sweet. Yummy too!

    During warm weather try to sit outside. You will absolutely bake inside. So hot thanks to the open kitchen in the main dining area.

    Their brunch menu is much shorter than lunch/dinner. Always order the short rib dumplings and crab noodles

    Came for brunch and tried the omurice, spam rice bowl & dandan noodles, and it was just OK. Had unique and inventive fusion options but none blew me away.

    The desserts (earl grey chocolate mousse with blood orange & cacao panna cotta with pineapple) were delicious! Way better than the main dishes.
