Revel - Korean restaurant in Seattle - 401 N 36th St, USA

My husband and I visited Revel for dinner one night while on vacation in Seattle and everything was fantastic! We started with the short rib wontons, which featured tender meat and a little spice from the chili oil. For our mains, we shared the Dungeness crab noodles (the noodles were homemade) with red curry and creme fraiche. We also had the sticky gochujang ribs - which were out of this world good. The glaze on the ribs had so much flavor, they were definitely on the spicy side so if you're sensitive to that just be aware, but we thought the amount of spice was perfect. For dessert, we shared the chocolate torte and the lemon blueberry cake - both were phenomenal! I also had Madame Rue cocktail and my husband had a Negroni and we loved both. Our server was very friendly/attentive and gave great recommendations. I'd happily return to Revel in the future.

Ordered the Chinese brocolli, short rib wonton, mushroom rice and coconut cheesecake. 1. Mushroom rice had white clumps of rice here and there. Soy flavor was good but oily. It came in a hot sizzler pan but it wasn't that hot. It had chrysanthemum leaves which I think went well. Not enough mushrooms, totally like 4 pieces of oyster mushrooms maybe. Short rib wonton was good, juicy meat and chilli oil went well. Yuzu caramel is goated, esp loved the spice factor in the mango jam on top. Goes great w the coconuts and the creamcheese. The crunch in the bottom gives a great texture. Would definitely come for just this next time.

Went there as a group of 3 on a Friday night without a reservation. Luckily they had a walk in table available. We got a mix of dishes to share and plenty of cocktails and the bill came up to $70 per person which I thought was good given the quality of the food and drinks. I particularly loved the rice cakes and the coconut cheesecake. I'd definitely return next time I'm in Seattle!

Another tasty meal at Revel. We are in the outdoor section, a perfect summer evening spot. Food highlights included the short rib wontons, the rice cakes, and the newly added spicy ribs. Always a fan of the simple Chinese broccoli too. We found the Halibut a little meager for the price, though subtle and tasty.

Came here on a weeknight for my birthday celebration. Overall great experience! Staff were friendly and service was pretty quick. All the drinks were interesting and good, not too juicy and boozy enough, great mocktail options. Definitely recommend the wontons and octopus - octopus was served with just the right chewiness, their purple potato lumpia was amazingly soft (kind of a mushy texture) on the inside and crispy on the outside, I loved it! I thought the beef tataki with the nuts and miso cod were well crafted and tasty too. I would pass on the Chinese broccoli (a little overcooked/kind of bland) but that was the only thing I didn't like. Also, they allow you to bring cakes for a small service fee, and they lit the candles and cut it really nicely for us.

Overall it is fine. The steak and short ribs are good, but other dishes are not my type, hard for me to say I like it. Cocktails are also not my type, they are a little too creative and hence hard to follow…

We made reservations which was great. They had both indoor and patio seating. The patio was well covered and people were eating perfectly despite the drizzle outside. We sat inside and I really liked the music and the artwork. They have a bathroom that is shared with other establishments but it was kept clean. The food came out warm and quickly. Most importantly our drinks came out quickly and they were great. Our host was very nice and checked on this multiple times.

So pleasantly surprised. Noticed that the average review was 4.3, but I disagree completely with that. This was easily a 4.8-5. service was a little off, but the food and drinks were amazing. Let's begin with the drinks. The bartender is not afraid to make a good strong drink. Thank you to that person. I had the Madame Rue and my husband had the Fur rendezvous old-fashion. Both were excellent. We were part of a group so we enjoyed many dishes. My favorite was the salt and pepper brussel sprouts followed by the octopus and short rib wontons. We didn't have dessert so you won't see any pictures of sweets. In total we had 9 dishes. Everything was amazing and all dishes had different flavors. We will be back.
