What People Are Saying About Hosoonyi Restaurant
Featured Review

Snuggled into the corner of an Edmonds strip mall is this cozy Korean restaurant to warm up any winter day in Seattle. People crowd near the host desk, which seems to have no real system for deciding who gets the next table, but persistence pays off and customers are eventually seated either at the tables to the left or the private booths on the right. The waitresses systematically slip out of their shoes as they climb the steps to the private booths carrying sizzling trays of meat and vegetables to groups of diners. On the menu, there’s plenty to choose from—the giant seafood pancake comes…

- Know Before You Go:
- Be prepared when ordering the most spicy versions of entrees: at this restaurant, the spiciness scale means business.

food is not the only reason you go to a restaurant
by bundoggy at Citysearch
I love Soontofu. Although it was not the same as the one I had in 2006 on my first trip to Seattle, Soontofu was still delicious. However, If I'm to be served by the angry old lady who served me in 2006 and then this year, I would pass this restaurant this summer. I'm puzzled what's wrong with her? Good food and a bad waitress! What a combination!
- Pros: Good Food
- Cons: An Angry Old Waitress

The People Who Work Here Are Racists
by Kat08 at Citysearch
I would not recommend anyone to go there purely because some of the people (not all) who work here are racists. If you are not Korean or even white, you?ll get the most awful service in the world or in my case no service. One incident and worst: they simply ignored my party when we were there. About three or four other parties behind us were served, given appetizers, and their food while we didn't have anything. We didn?t even have water. The server came back around with appetizers and we?re thinking ?finally, appetizers? she looked at us (with nothing), and gave all the appetizers to everyone around us who already had appetizers and their food. We got up and left. Other people I know, even Korean friends with inter-racial relationships have had the same problem and will never go back.
- Pros: Food
- Cons: Service

I had what's apparently a different experience from most...

After reading all of the posts about the horrid service of Hosoonyi, I really have to disagree. I visited here as I live in Edmonds myself and the food was supposed to be excellent. Well, I found that the food was really good and there doesn't seem to be a lot of disagreement in that category. If you like Korean food, I'd wager you'll really enjoy the food here. I just received good service which is what seems apparently out of the ordinary, from what everyone seems to be saying. The service wasn't really exemplary, but I didn't have any complaints and thought the service was just fine. The waitress was attentive and paid us enough mind that we didn't need to flag her down. I'd recommend this place to lovers of Korean food.
- Pros: Good food, decent prices
- Cons: Not the nicest place, but it's not a dive.

Looking forward to coming back..

My brother and I came here and really enjoyed ourselves. We laughed about how people said that the service was not so hot, and even unattentive...so of course we were looking for that. It never happened. Our server was very nice and did just that. Took our order, served us...I mean, what more can you ask for? A personal serenade? Anyway, we ordered the Bi Bim Bop and it was very fresh and full of flavor. The ingredients were good quality and we are looking forward to coming back and trying out some new dishes.
- Pros: good food, clean, authentic korean
- Cons: parking..the lot gets full
