We tried this place for the first time tonight and wow! We don't usually eat Korean food, so we let the server guide us. I had no idea what to expect, but my expectations were blown away! The flavors, portions, and vegetables were all delicious. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was relaxing, and I'll definitely be returning. We ordered the Hot Pot Bi-Bim-Bap, one with with pork and one with beef. It was fresh and incredibly tasty, staying hot until the very last bite. The server recommended a super spicy sauce—beware, it's really spicy! This place is an absolute must-try!

My most recent visit to Stone Korean Restaurant in Bothell was a mix of pleasant and noteworthy experiences, with a few small hiccups in the flavor department. The restaurant boasts a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a traditional yet cozy decor that makes you feel right at home. It's the perfect setting for a casual meal with friends or family. One of the highlights of Stone Korean Restaurant is the outstanding service. The staff is consistently friendly, attentive, and eager to ensure you have a wonderful dining experience. Their welcoming demeanor adds a lot to the overall enjoyment. We sampled the Bi-Bim-Naeng-Myun and Kalbi during our visit. Bi-Bim-Naeng-Myun: This dish was good overall, but it was a tad over-salted and slightly on the sour side. Despite these minor issues, the flavors were still enjoyable and refreshing. Kalbi: The Kalbi was excellent. The short ribs were tender, well-marinated, and grilled to perfection. Each bite was a delightful blend of savory and sweet, making it the standout dish of the night. While the restaurant doesn't offer tabletop cooking, the quality of the food and the fantastic service more than make up for it. The prices are moderate, which is reasonable for a Korean restaurant, making it a great value for the dining experience they provide. Overall, Stone Korean Restaurant continues to be a reliable spot for enjoying authentic Korean cuisine. With its cozy ambiance, exceptional service, and standout dishes like the Kalbi, it’s a place worth visiting. Just a slight tweak in the seasoning of some dishes would make it even better.

Excellent food and service. My spouse had spicy BBQ pork, and I had beef BiBimBap. They also had vegetarian options

This lived up to the hype! We don’t eat Korean food often enough, so we kind of let them guide us on what to eat, and they did not disappoint. I had no idea that the assorted side dishes you see in the photos (which I now know are called “banchan”) are refillable and complementary — wow! The entree we ordered is Hot Pot Bi-bim-bap, and it’s unforgettable. The stone (at least I believe it’s stone) dish they serve it in fries the rice and veggies to your desired level of crispness, depending on how long you leave it unstirred. And don’t forgo the recommended sauce!

This if for the Bothell location. The food is authentic, from the side-dishes to the soft-tofu casseroles and Korean BBQ. Parking is inside of a stripmall so free parking is available but it can get busy at times. Plenty of seating inside. Great for families and dining in. Found came out hot and fresh and they had no issues with replacing side dishes. Some dishes don't come with rice so you may have to order one. Midas 5-stars for the clean atmosphere and great foods.

Good neighborhood korean restaurant with solid korean dishes and tofu soup. We got spicy pork bibimbap in a hot pot (not the combo), seafood pancake, and galbi (short ribs). Food is prepared in the kitchen and not cooked on a grill at the table. Short ribs are well marinated, although a little on the fatty side. 22 for a lunch portion which is basically 2 strips. Bibimbap has a very crispy bottom and tasted great. Seafood pancake was crispy, would have liked a bit more seafood in it. We used to go to their Redmond restaurant for many years and they are a solid korean food go to place for us.

YOOOO!!!!! This place is Late night football practice. I needed something to eat. Let me tell you. The Kim Chee Beef Tofu hot pot had so much flavor in it, I had to get more. The kalbi short ribs were on another level. One bite the meat fell off the bone. Then you get all the fixings & refillable. Let's not forget about the staff. They are amazing, always around & quick on refilling what you needed.
