best kimchi stew ever

by karatayexplosionz at Citysearch

i grew up in cerritos, ca and went to UC Berkeley. i've tried the best korean restaurants in california. now i'm working in seattle and good korean food was no where to be found. i kept hearing that kokiri had the best neng myun. i went with low expectations. i've been let down more than a few times already. to my surprise it was very very good. the noodles are pulled fresh and the broth actually had some FLAVOR to it. it lived up to the hype. i returned here to eat some bbq and kimchi jjigae. and i could not believe how good the kimchi jjigae was. the kimchi jjigae here just may be the best i've ever had. the banchan is damn good also. the best korean food experience i've had since leaving california. what's funny is, the owners are from california. go figure.

• Pros: for a korean spot, you're not going to get better service

Best Korean food in town

by bdirks at Citysearch

While being stationed in Korea for over 2 years, I fell in love with Korean food. My two favorites are bulgogi and bibimbap (in a stone pot). I've been to a few Korean restaurants in north Seattle and Federal Way, but I thoroughly enjoyed the dining experience at Kokiri every time. Their signature dumplings are wonderful, and the 'bulgogi' dishes are seasoned just right. I tried few other soup dishes which I can't recall the names, but they were also delicious. Each time I visit, the place is packed with Korean customers (which is a good sign). I would highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn't tried Korean food.

• Pros: Delicious food, Clean environment, Reasonal price
• Cons: No BBQ, Open seating
