Very good Korean Food. The service is a bit slow but understandable, because this restaurant is always...

Worst

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 lad...

Looking forward to coming back.. 2/18/2007

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 more

Some of the most homey Korean food you'll find 11/9/2006

The food at Hosoonyi is really, really good, but yes, the service, as everyone has noted, is terrible. My boyfriend is Korean American, and I am white. If I go to Hosoonyi with him, we get stellar service (mind you, I have never, ever had my water refilled in ANY Korean restaurant). If I go alone or with other whities, we wait FOREVER for our food. There is one woman working there now, as of this review, who is quite sweet, charming, and attentive, but we'll see how long she lasts. more

But the kimchee tofu soup is world-rocking, and at under $8, a fantastic meal. more

Solid Korean restaurant 9/19/2006

I've been going to Hosoonyi since it opened. I usually have my mother (who's Korean) order since she's Korean and will yell at the staff if they aren't attentive. As the previous person said, they treat non-Korean Asians the worst. The quailty of the kalbi meat has gone down hill over the years. I would say it's an average Korean restaurant. I usually rate a good Korean restaurant by quality of their kimchee, kalbi, and cheege. more

one of the best Korean joints to eat, but... 8/24/2006

...yeah, the service. The guy there (always wears glasses) is always accomodating, but a few of the older Korean ladies...well, let's just say that there's a shared observation with other Asian Americans that they only accomodate Korean and white customers. Aren't either? Uh-oh.\r \r I brought my uncle there once. His glass was empty, and he needed it from the kim-chi he ate. No one came. It wasn't that crowded yet. I had to get up, and get a pitcher, and bring it to the table. \r \r When I went with a friend, we ordered three dishes, at a table for two. This doesn't include the 'panchan'. We asked if it was possible to move, and the lady looked annoyed and rolled her eyes. Again, it wasn't crowded, and all the food wasn't even on the table yet. But we forgot, we're neither Korean or white, so nope, we can put the excess plates on my lap.\r \r And yet, overall, I do recommend it. The food is good, and it's worth the wait. It's a roll of the dice with what server you get, but if it's the guy, you won't be neglected. Pros: food, value Cons: service, long lines (especially on the weekends) more

If you have been to Korea, the service style is nothing new... 7/25/2006

Hosoonyi Restaurent is one of a few nice korean restaurent in town, even thought the service is poor (this is typical Korean style service even in those really expensive restaurent in Seoul..) but the food is quite authuntic (yes, the Koreans never like to comprmised on taste (ie: Americanized) therefore, if you are not accustom to Korean food, maybe the taste might not suit you..) btw, tell you a little secret of Korean restaurent, if you look Asian, they will treat you better (except Japanese, which alot of older generation Korean really hate!!!) and for Americans, they seems to not wanting to talk to you because alot of the restaurent staff's English skills are soso... Pros: Real Korean Food Cons: you will feel mistreated if you don't understand the cultural background. more

Hoosoonyi from a foreigner's view 11/12/2005

The haemul pajeeon stands out (8/10) , chigaes so-so (5/10)and barbeque rather mediocre(4/10 too sweet), panchan was barely passing(3/10) and service was below acceptable standards(3/10 and not worth the tip). If this is the best in WA, I'm sorry for you guys Come to Desa Hartamas in Kuala Lumpur where the Korean sashimi is super, Kalbi is great and the side dishes excellent ( plus you don't pay tips) more
