"Over the last decade and a half, chefs Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi have built Joule into one of Seattle’s most respected Korean restaurants, and the tight, seasonal menu routinely has intriguing items like kung pao squash and Muscovy duck. But if you come here you’re probably getting the kalbi short rib steak. Tender, adorned with a slightly sweet marinade, served on a bed of grilled kimchi — this is one of Seattle’s best steaks, and somehow it’s still under $40. Don’t forget to look at the creative cocktail menu. If you drive: Dining at Joule is relaxing, finding street parking on Stone Way is not. There are nearby lots, however." - Harry Cheadle
