The food here is fantastic and the vibe is really cozy and authentic. The nice Korean couple that runs the palace is very hospitable and they remember your name which is really nice. Everything here is good but the spicy pork is especially unique. The only negative is that their kimchi is not the best.

Amazing Korean style food, great taste and portions sizes for a full of flavors dinner or lunch. The service was friendly and very on point and the prices are just right for the amount of food you get. MUST try the bubble tea with tapioca.

This place is really wonderful! The food looks amazing, it taste amazing. The building is a bit small so ordering out is the better plan, unless the place isn't really packed. Then I would sit down and enjoy a truly wonderful meal. The staff is really nice as well. They also keep up on the cleanliness of the place. Like I watched a group get up when they were done and the table was cleaned in under 5 minutes.

Great place to get delicious food and hang out with friends over a drink. You might as well order a few entrées to share because, as far as I can tell, everything on the menu is worth a try. If you get stuck, there's a helpful list on the back of their most popular dishes and I can vouch for the fact that I couldn't stop sneaking bites of that spicy pork even after I was stuffed.

Food was incredible. Loved the staff very helpful, the menu even suggests popular items for those unfamiliar with Korean cuisine.
I had the bibimbap with chicken and the gochujang was incredible. It had the right spice and heat and came out hot and fresh.
Next time I'm in Seattle I'm coming here.

Really good hole-in-the-wall Korean food right in Capitol Hill. I had the bibimbap with shrimp, and it was delicious and arrived very quickly. The mixture of fresh ingredients and crispy rice really hit the spot.
There was no wait whatsoever - even when other restaurants nearby were experiencing one hour waits. Really good option to consider for a casual meal out.

The japchae here was good. The service was attentive. However, I'd like to try more dishes here before giving an official rating.

The chicken bibimbap I had was petty decent but I did not like the strawberry bubble tea!

Came here on Friday evening with my wife seeking grub and refuge from the weather.
The restaurant space is small and brimming with activity. People share large tables and all "make it work" to accommodate others.
We waited for about five minutes and a table opened up, so stay put if it's busy, the food is worthwhile. We ordered two bi bim bap bowls (chicken and pork), a scallion pancake, and some Hite beer.
Our service was friendly and prompt, and the owners are truly delighted to serve you upon entry. Fortunately, the food matches their enthusiasm and is served very quickly for how fresh it was.
The bowls are great portions, the pork and chicken very tender, and all the veggies crisp and clearly fresh. The scallion pancake is terrific, just make sure you're as hungry as we were to tackle more than an entree.
Will 100% return to eat here and continue to recommend to friends seeking great Korean, some aesthetic character and a true city eatery.

Amazing spot. The food is fantastic but the service is even better. The man working was very attentive to each customer and was very kind. I bought some house made kimchi to take home with me - if I were local I would be a hard hitting regular. Can’t recommend enough.

One of the BEST Korean food places in Seattle. Love their soft tofu kimchi soup and my husband is very fond of their soft tofu chicken soup. The sizzling, yummy entrees served on a wooden tray make your mouth water at the first sight!

Delicious no-frills option on the hill. Everything I've had tastes good and is a friendly environment. Gives you a taste of an earlier, more hospitable Seattle. Hope this place stays around forever. I recommend the bibimbap with chicken and pork.

Yesss, this was great Korean food! The menu offers some amazing (traditional) options. We visited for a weekday lunch while on holiday.. the place had a few customers, not too busy. The prices are great too. If you like asian food, you’ll love BlueStone!

Low key vibes. Delicious food! I shared the spicy yakisoba noodles with pork. Mouthwateringly good! As well as the soft tofu soup with pork and kimchee. If you like things spicy, don't forget to ask for their red sauce to go with it! Their organic barley tea was a wonderful way to warm up from the outside winds. I will definitely be going back again soon!
Devin Weitzman
Hands down the best bibimbap I've had in Seattle. It's a no-frills joint, but the food is totally authentic. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes!

An unassuming little place, this is one of my team's go-to lunch spots and we always walk back to work satisfied and happy. Their food is fantastically yummy, the service is friendly and fast, and all that for such a bargain price!
Note: I see this place is described as not good for groups. I would say a medium-sized group is definitely doable. We've never had trouble getting a table with ~6 people. One time there were 10 of us and we had to split up into two tables, but we were still seated promptly and received the usual great service. If you're really worried, go around one to avoid the lunch rush.
Must order appetizer: kimchi pancake! Great for sharing, this ginormous pancake is crispy and golden with crunchy edges and a soft center filled with kimchi. It hits all the right notes for both texture and flavor!
On a cold, rainy day I love to get the soft tofu stew. It is served roiling hot in a stone bowl. A few gulps is just what you needed to warm right up from the inside out. Caution: did I mention it's hot? I have zero patience so I probably burn my tongue every time I order this dish, but it's still worth it!
But my absolute favorite is the bulgogi with sweet potato noodles. The beef is tender and perfectly seasoned. The sweet potato noodles are delightfully springy and ideal for soaking up all the delicious sauce. Oh man, add a fried egg on top and I can die happy. The portion size is huge too. I am always facing the dilemma of eating it all (just a little too much for the physical limitations of my stomach) or forcing myself to stop eating and pack the leftovers (basically impossible, it's so good, you just want to eat one...more...bite...). Damn, I wish I were eating some right now.

One of the most authentic Korean place I've had in US. The service was great, kimchi was really good and the tofu soup was on point too. The price was good and it opened on Christmas day!
Andrea Pesola
Love this place! My go-to is the soft tofu soup with pork and kimchi. The bibimbap is amazing as well. Super low-key place that is great to eat in at any day of the week!
