I can't share enough praise for the Dungeness crab noodles , but also be sure to check what their house soju is for the night and you HAVE to get dessert or you don't get the full experience.

Kevin Faul

Rice bowls & Ambiance. Great for a date. Lively athmosphere with fresh fusion food. A Seattle must. Eat at the end corner of the butcher block counter and watch the chefs in the open kitchen .

Katie Bosseler

This place has a very cool atmosphere and the Lady Gardner drink( or I think that's what it was called) is awesome! The tuna and short rib rice bowls are excellent! VERY GOOD FOOD, and decent prices.

Kaitlin Martineau

They make their pasta noodles in house - the king crab noodle bowl was very tasty, but my favorite was the dense chocolate brownie with toasted marshmallow

I Y

The beef dumplings were outstanding. They redefined dumplings for me. Brown sugar ice cream dessert is simple but also delicious.

Andrew Choi

Dine at the butcher block bar and watch the chefs do their magic. The food here is simply amazing. Try one of their rice bowls for sure.

Serious Eats

Noodles , pancakes , dumplings , and rice dishes are on offer at this Korean-influenced restaurant . Weekend brunch means Revel Ramen , with kimchi the key.

Ronald Liu

Short ribs and rice was really good! I asked for the short ribs to be cooked medium rare and it was perfect! Bing su was also really good, but smaller than expected

Will Harding

Sat at the butcher block table and had a fantastic meal. Corned lamb salad was delicious and the short rib rice bowl was a super hearty meal .

melek

This place was bomb. Try the tofu rice bowl (vegan wout the egg ). Incredible combo of flavors in this dish.

Nic Neinken

Short rib dumpling and the pancake were so good. Lemongrass beef noodle also really good. Mix it all together with their sauces... Truly great!

Robert Radich

Perfect for groups of friends because it's encouraged to share everything with the people at your table. Interesting drink choices and menu to choose from.

Wes Lo

A lot flavors in their dishes. Try to find a good balance of fresh ingredients and meats and you will make the meal more enjoyable. The miso paste sauces is great and reminds me of Korea

Corrie Wilson

I've never been crazy about Korean food until I ate here. Every single thing we had was incredible, we couldn't stop raving about how good it was.

Kylene Wolfe

The food!! The cod dish was delicious as well as the potstickers . Great drinks too!!

Jessie Wang

My favorite Asian fusion food in Seattle area. Though it has a very short list on the menu, but it won't go wrong even you randomly order anything, because everything is good!

Josephine J Wiggins Wiggins

Revel is a very good restaurant . Every single one of your meals is so wonderful that i will forget everything but i never forget teste of it. Thank you.

Juston Payne

Totally great. We has the crab noodles , short rib dumplings , and shrimp pancakes . Cool space, too.

Denise F

Nice staff and place, good for brunch . We order pork katsu with biscuits and lamen. Everything was delicious! Just the pound cake was little bit bland.

Allen Chan

The revel brunch with bacon steak is amazing but the bacon is pretty oily and heavy so you'll either love it till the end of have too much of it in the end

Eater

This follow-up to Joule is casual , largely Asian street food inspired and a fantastic (reasonably priced) experience for brunch , lunch or dinner . Get cocktails at Quoin after dinner . [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Brendan Kim

Atmosphere and service was great. We sat at the counter and watched the entire cooking process from our seats. However, this is definitely a fusion restaurant ... Absolutely not authentic Korean.

Trophy Cupcakes and Party

Amazing follow up to Joule. Try the Tofu with Chinese Broccoli , all of the dumplings and pancakes ... and which ever speciality cocktail strikes your fancy (for me, anything with St. Germaine)

Dacotah

Delicious small plate dining. Big flavors even if you stick with the veggie dishes . For seafood eaters, the crab noodles are rich and really really good.

Mingfei Yan

Soba noodle and tuna rice are awesome! They could get very crowded and no reservation taken for party less than 6.

Maria Nichol

The vegetarian rice is amazing and so are the noodles . Cater well to big group dinners . Staff is super friendly . Food cost is relatively good.

Angie Massie Khotpal

Two words: crab bowl. Delish! Great place to try lots of small plates with a small group or a couple out for a night.

Chris Munns

The Potatas Bravas dumplings were a little too heavy for me, but the pork ones were fantastic. Great vibe that seems good for an individual, couple, or group.

Sandra Rubinchik

Family-style portions! Don't miss the Dungeness crab noodles or short rib dumplings .

Vincent Filby

On hot days try the Lazy Gardener for a refreshing drink . Great vibe, love the butcher block bar . Veggie/vegan options won't disappoint.

Melinda Tan

Love the short rib bowl!!!! And kimchi pancake and the pork blood dumplings ????????????????

Shimi Liderman

Amazing food! Loved the Pork Noodles ! Veggie dumplings were really good and the Kimchi was lovely as well .

Connie Lu

Can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but highly recommend the Roasted Duck Tea Noodles , Short Rib Rice , and the Short Rib Dumplings !

Seattle Met

The single best thing to happen to Seattle dining in the last year was the launch of this stark, lively shot of Korean-Asian street food in Fremont: brainchild of chefs Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi. Read more

Even G.

Don't be scared of the phrase "corned lamb " this salad was phenomenal. Just spicy enough yet light enough to accompany any if their other amazing dishes... Dumplings !

Elizabeth Agnew

Everything here was so delicious, but my favorites were the pork belly pancake and mochi donut !

Sherveen Shingu

I ordered the ramen which was fantastic, but I had a chance to try the short ribs ...they were amazing. Would definitely suggest it

Daniel Mejia

Pork belly pancake (and the sauces!), shirt rib dumplings and short rib rice with yolk !

Thrillist

Try the Pork Belly w/ kimchi & bean sprouts pancakes , or the FiveSpiced Duck Balls w/ lacinato kale & smoked chili Noodles and then go and watch this husband and wife team kill it on Iron Chef Read more

Cusp25

Brunch - DanDan noodles with chili and eggplant

Melanie

Came for brunch and tried the omurice, spam rice bowl & dandan noodles , and it was just OK. Had unique and inventive fusion options but none blew me away.

Jesslyn Chin

The BBQ pork monkey bread is the best ever. But they ran out of stock this time. Had this cardamom monkey bread and it tastes sweet. Yummy too!

Jessica Kessler

Kimchi bloody mary (duh), shrimp toast , mushroom porridge , pork katsu , all the baked goods .

Sandra Fan

The desserts (earl grey chocolate mousse with blood orange & cacao panna cotta with pineapple ) were delicious! Way better than the main dishes.

Oremo Ochillo

The dungeness crab pasta is one of the 10 best dishes in all of Seattle.

Agatha Yu

Their brunch menu is much shorter than lunch/dinner. Always order the short rib dumplings and crab noodles

Jeremy Peronto

Love is a dungeness crab noodle , a short rib rice , and a side of daikon kimchi .

Brian Schoenborn

Everything is pretty amazing, but there is a special place in my heart for the Oxtail Hot Pot .

Mingfei Yan

We came here another day for brunch . The Dan Dan noodle is epic!

Duane Nicholson

The shrimp and long bean salad is great, the short ribs were perfectly cooked, and the custard is so flavorful
