Trove In Capitol Hill Will Close At the End of June | Eater Seattle

"I view this Capitol Hill favorite as an ambitious Korean barbecue/noodle/parfait restaurant run by Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi that will close on June 30 after five years on East Pike Street. Since opening in 2014 as a cook-it-yourself barbecue spot, noodle shop, bar, and parfait purveyor, it received praise for its ambition and style and is listed on Eater Seattle’s list of highest-quality Korean restaurants. Over the years Trove added a late-night happy hour and worked to bring its elements together more cohesively; customers continue to enjoy the towers of meat and the playful atmosphere, which even includes part of an ice cream truck parked inside. Yang said in an email that “this industry is tough and this wasn’t our turn,” and the space will eventually house a new business while she and Chirchi plan to host pop-ups, cooking classes, and private dinners after Trove closes." - Gabe Guarente
