Chan Seattle

"Seattle is an expensive city in general, but if you hop in an Uber to grab a meal Downtown, you might as well throw your wallet out the window. You should know about Chan - a great, reasonably-priced Korean restaurant by Pike Place that serves things like bibimbap, soy-braised short ribs, seafood pancakes, and bulgogi and spicy pork sliders. Suddenly, Downtown doesn’t seem so expensive anymore." - aimee rizzo

"If you thought your only options in Pike Place market were chowder and samples of dried chocolate pasta, we have good news for you: this underground Korean gastropub exists. The way to do this place is to order a bunch of sliders (order both the bulgogi and spicy pork), drink a lychee-lime rickey or two, and just be thankful you made it out of Pike Place alive." - aimee rizzo

"Chan is a Korean gastropub near the underbelly of Pike Place Market, and it’s your date night secret weapon - ideal for a post-work date if your offices are downtown, or a meal strategically planned after a lap around the market, during which you just happened to stop by the flower bouquet vendor. Well done. You deserve some bibimbap and bulgogi sliders." - aimee rizzo

"Chan is a small Korean gastropub below Pike Place Market, and they don’t take reservations, so naturally it’s tough to get in when they’re busy. But with some luck, you can secure a spot at the bar and have a quick meal of bulgogi sliders with cucumber kimchi and spicy mayo, or a big bibimbap bowl, or a braised short rib. Wash it down with a beer or a lychee rickey and be on your way." - aimee rizzo

"An excellent Korean gastropub underneath Pike Place Market. Pop in for a beer and bibimbap, or lychee rickeys with some addicting bulgogi sliders. The fact that it’s sort of hidden makes this spot feel exciting, especially at night when the waterfront gets so quiet." - aimee rizzo
