Stone Korean Restaurant

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.

This is one of the few Korean restaurants in my proximity. Unfortunately, it still doesn’t par with LA K-​town Korean food. le sigh.
I ordered the beef kimchi soondubu and a friend got a soondubu and bibimbap combo. We were given an array of banchan. It was sooo good. If you have a sweet tooth, you’re going to appreciate the subtle sweetness to their kimchi.
As for my soondubu. It was a little disappointing. There wasn’t any beef and I don’t know if they use a powder, but there it definitely something missing in Seattle soondubu. Maybe a thickener. I wasn’t even given an egg to crack into it. My white rice was in a stone pot and I was offered nurungji (which I fully accepted.) I was so excited. I love nurungji. It was. not the best. My rice definitely should’ve been cooked longer in the stone pot. –The bibimbap was delicious though.
The restaurant itself is not bad at all. We had an extremely friendly waitress. She constantly checked up on us. Customer service was a 4 – 5.

Excellent service, good price and great food. Love the little side condiment dishes.

I chose a one start because no way to give zero or negative. This place is pricy and not good. The spicy tofu soup pot I ordered is with very little broth, and too much spicy paste. I can’t even finish it which is my favorite Korean food. I got sick, sore throat and congested nose, after this meal. The free side dishes is not comparable with any other Korean restaurant I’ve been. Even the seafood pancake is not good. I will not visit there again. If you can drive to Chinatown, try the «Korean tofu house» near Uwajimaya which is 100 times better than this one and ²⁄₃ of the price.

My husband and I really like this place. We’ve been here many times and really enjoy their hot stone soups, combos, as well as their Korean fried chicken. It’s the only place around the area that has it. Prices here are decent and their selection of bon chons are delicious.

My favorite thing was the kalbi beef! Omg, so good.
I also liked how they had combo menus so I could order two of my favorite things! Kalbi+tofu soup! :)

I’ve never had Korean fried chicken, so I wanted to try a place that I heard was really good and I was not disappointed. We got a half order of the fried chicken and a half order of it with sauce too. I have to say the wings that had the sauce were way better — it was both a little spicy and a little sweet. The regular fried chicken was also good too.
We also got some of the other dishes (jap chae, bulgolgi, tofu soup, etc) and it was all pretty good.

Very Americanized Korean food. If you’re used to what you can get in LA, NYC, or Korea, this is a one star restaurant. If you want a place to take your white bread friends who are scared of «weird» ethnic food, then this place is pretty good.
If you like actual Korean food and you’re dragged here, try the fried chicken. It’s the one thing here that’s acceptable.

Not worth the wait and not worth the buck.
We walked in and they didn’t greet us or tell us anything. We followed the sign «wait to be seated» and stood for like 3 minutes by the door. They walked right by us many times not acknowledged with our wait. We decided to sit on the bench afterwards. 20+ minutes later we finally got a table.
Usually eat around Lynnwood Korean restaurants and they are much better in quality with food and service.
Portions were small and taste was overall mediocre. Kimchi pancake was $ 11 served looking deformed, all burnt and not much taste, kind of soggy too. My rice was already burnt brown around the sides by the time it arrived. Bibibap barely had anything in it, it came out half full.
We asked for a refill on sides but they forgot about them until when we were paying. They were going to serve them to us but the other server was already taking our cards. Awkward. They ended up taking them back anyways. The server poured so much tea into our cups they were spilling everywhere right when he handed them back, oh and he knocked over my chopsticks, didn’t say anything.
Not coming back ugh.

I would say best Korean food in the East side. This will be my togo place now for Korean food if I’m too lazy to go to Lynnwood or Federal way.
Side dishes was on point, nothing really stood out but it was good overall.
Spicy fried chicken — Initially I thought it look plain… no sauce nothing how can it be spicy. Was pleasantly surprised when I bit into it. Nice flavor, crispy on the outside and meat was moist. Very flavorful and a nice kick of spice.
Yukgaejang — Broth was hearty full of flavor and had the perfect amount of spiciness.
Lunch combo with bulgogi and stone bibimbap — I only had the bibimbap and it was pretty good love how the stone bowl made the rice crispy. Not sure about the bulgogi but it must be good because my friend devoured everything.
Service was excellence, tea and water and promptly filled. Waitress even re-​filled our side dishes without us asking for more. Location was a bit hidden because I couldn’t see it initially, but it was tuck inside a plaza behind the gas station and McDonald.

I love their food but what gets them the 5 stars instead of just 4 is their fried chicken. Order it early because it takes a while but it is worth the wait. My new plan is to order the fried chicken to go and then walk around the corner to Malt and Vine for some amazing cider. The chicken is moist, flavorful, super crisp, and not greasy. The kalbi is wonderful as well. I have had mediocre Korean food at other restaurants in the past but this place has been wonderful every single time.
One warning, it is a very popular lunch spot both parking and seating can be difficult!

I love this place! Really solid authentic korean food. Its pretty crowded every time I come and I can see why. The waiters here are a bit understaffed to meet the high demand at lunch and dinner hours. and it is because the food is good!
Seafood pancake is delicious, Tofu soup is salty and flavorful in a good way.
And as always, my favorite thing about korean restaurants is that they are quick to refill the Banchans (side dishes)!! Keep em coming!

Friday dinner: surprised to get a parking spot although the ones near the gas station are tight.
Busy in the restaurant but service is quick and attentive. Water without ice served in plastic glasses.
Spicy chicken wings: crispy and not greasy at all. Delicious!
Combo: beef short ribs and Hot pot bibimbob: ribs are nicely grilled with great flavor. The bibimbob was a little dry even after breaking the fried egg on top. For $ 24 this portion seemed reasonable.
Side dishes were OK but not the best. Most lacked flavor.
All in all, this place is very efficiently run and I would recommend their chicken and beef short ribs.

For the Eastside, this Korean restaurant is A-​Okay, not bad at all.
My go-​tos are the kalbi and soondubu combo special (my boyfriend and I are usually able to share this; even the combo sizes are pretty good!), the half plain/​half sauced fried chicken, and maybe sometimes the seafood pancake. all of these dishes are delicious and filling. I especially love the rice cooked in the stone pot!
The only thing that I would knock off a star for is the service. Although very friendly, they are a bit slow. I don’t really see why since it isn’t a very big restaurant and there seems to be enough servers around, but my experiences with service has been on the slower side.
Beyond that, though, I would definitely consider myself a regular customer here! Food is great!

We ordered some of the Korean staples here including: tofu hotpot, bulgogi and jab chae
Tofu hotpot: warm and soothing, this hits the spot on a standard Seattle rainy night. We ordered it with the veggie dumplings and they come with 3 large dumplings.
Bulgogi: it came on an iron plate that’s usually sizzling, but ours was not sizzling and in fact many of the pieces were barely warm. The flavor was nice, but I got more of an eating-​leftovers-​at-​home vibe out of this than eating at a Korean restaurant.
Jab Chae: utterly bland, I took only one bite of this one and we decided to take the rest home so we could make it more edible.
Ban chan: I didn’t have much of this that night, but my husband claims it was decent. Although, I did notice a glaring lack of potato salad.
I don’t think I’ll be back

My girlfriend had a craving about Korean food when she woke up. Here we were on this one of her favorite restaurants.
We were excited to be the first customers at lunch time. We ordered fried chicken, short ribs, cold noodles, seafood tofu soup, rice and side dishes. I love the juicy and tenderness of fried chickens but crispy texture outside. Side kimchi and marinated potatoes were tasty too. The service was very chilled so by the time we finished the food, it was getting really busy. We were waiting for the to-​go boxes and the check for a while. That was why I took off one star from the review.
It was good food and laid back service so you have to be patient here.

For a quick, filling lunch on a semi-​overcast weekday, Stone Korean Restaurant was pretty spot on! Although it took a while for them to take our orders, the food came out fairly promptly and the servers were attentive when it came to refilling tea and asking about our meal.
The lunch specials are listed in the back of the menu and come with the side dishes (banchan). We had the bibimbop, kalbi, and spicy pork bugolgi. The meats came with a side of rice cooked in a stone pot; too bad the rice ended up being a little dry. Otherwise, the meats were cooked perfectly and flavorfully! The banchan were quite yummy– potatoes, broccoli, kimchi, pickled spicy cucumbers, bean sprouts, egg pancake– all designed to cool the palate after the hot food.
What we found cute was that the food came out on these little trolleys– so all the dishes can be set at the same time. A yummy, quick meal that’s perfect for any number of folks (we were in and out in less than an hour!).

We had the mul naengmyun and the ½ chicken combo today. It SO HIT THE SPOT! They also had the boreecha tea. Fast/​easy service. Decent banchan. Will have to go back and try the other dishes.
Only downside is it is WAY OUT THERE IN THE BOONDOCKS of Redmond… So it’s a trek for us. Might be worth it…

This is the first Korean place we have tried since moving here. Good Unilocal and good proximity to our new digs. We were super excited.
Overpriced with small portions. I am used to Korean food being more expensive than most other Asian food but this still was overpriced. To be fair, we come from an area that had great Korean food and lots of competition. I think this may be the only Korean place in Redmond with only a few located in Bellevue for competition. The ban chan selection was very weak. Only a few ban chan and they were only so so. At least they were replenished. Jap chae was $ 13! For a small portion of noodles, this was a rip off.
My vegetable tofu soup was very flavorful and did come with a side of rice cooked in a stone bowl. That was a nice plus, but the rice was white rice only. I prefer mixed grain personally. Soup was ordered extra spicy and it was plenty spicy for me but I suspect it may have been dumbed down a bit as my husband could still eat it.
Service was very slow despite the restaurant not being crowded at all. I don’t see us coming back here.

I have tried just about every Korean restaurant on the eastside, and I find myself always coming back to Stone. The service is consistently fast and the food is always delicious.
Like most Korean restaurants, you get a variety of side dishes with your meal. For the main course, I usually go for the Tofu Soup with stone rice on the side. I have tried some of their other dishes, such as Bibimbop, bulgogi, fried chicken and hot wings, and I have never been disappointed.
If you live on the eastside and you are looking for some tasty Korean food, give Stone a try.
