EAT Asian Tapas

Simply amazing. The staff was super attentive and gave us lots of good recommendations and shots to try out. Order of my favorites 1. Lychee soju (honestly just buy the bottle you'll thank me later) 2. Pineapple soju 3. Watermelon (definitely get this with ice) The soju's are made with agave instead of sugar. I love tequila and this was just so interesting to try. The skewers reminded me of the small izakayas I went to in Japan. Order of my favorites again: 1. Chicken negima 2. Spicy Chicken 3. Fried chicken 3. Pork belly The beef skewer was a little drier than I prefer, but had a nice charred smokey flavor. Everything else was perfect and I have nothing to say besides try them. Again can't stress enough the staff are simply impeccable, the place is pricy but I can't wait to go again with a larger group!!! One small ask, I know this place is largely Korean food focused but if possible, just because the skewers are so amazing. I would absolutely love if there were chicken skin and chicken heart skewers!

This was my first time visiting this restaurant with a friend. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was wonderful. The staff were so friendly, so we had a great time.

I can't put into words just how good this place is. They make you feel like you're at home as soon as you come in the door. Everyone there was so kind and welcoming, and the food was downright amazing! I ordered the cucumber kimchi, kimchi fried rice, an egg dish(that was so unique and wonderful), a delicious corn & cheese dish w/tajin and lime, vegetable tempura, veggie skewers, fried chicken skewers, and unagi skewers. Everything was incredibly fresh and delicious!

We were a long time fan of the prior restaurant so we had our reservations about the new spot taking over. Needless to say we were blown away with the food. It is so hard to find well made Korean food in Capitol Hill as there aren’t many spots. The lighting and energy of the space feels so nice in here and the food was absolutely incredible. The owner was so lovely for us and made so many good recommendations and treated us like long time patrons immediately. Highly recommend the bulgogi ssam wraps and the unagi tempura. The prices are absolutely reasonable for the experience and the soju selection is great. Will definitely be making this one of our regular spots.

I was sad to see Lil Pocha go but the EAT folks are doing a fantastic job! They’ve redone the entire space, classed up the joint, the service was friendly and helpful, and the food was fantastic! Pork Ssam - surprisingly delicate and very flavorful Watermelon salad - deliciously fizzy with a bunch of complementary flavors Ttoboki & potstickers - perfectly fried, crispy and light Their menu is extensive and wide-ranging, and we plan on sampling every bit of it!

Cute chic place for a late night snack. Staff is really friendly and helpful!

Great foods, service and vibe

Best place to bring your date in Seattle downtown. Especially you and your date are interested in Exotic Korean Foods.

A remarkable thing to be walking by late night only to discover the soft opening of E.A.T. Asian Tapas. I tried a few menu items including assorted tempura, skewers (octopus and shrimp), beef tartare and a spicy tofu soup. Yes it was a bit of food for one but I was celebrating for this new neighborhood venue, and chefs were ready to play. The staff consist of friends who happen to be hospitality professionals. I look forward to doing some entertaining here. The room is intimate and warm, inviting, comfortable.

I've been meaning to stop by since I noticed the new sign and remodel. What once was Imo Pocha (and then Lil Pocha) is now a higher-end kitchen and bar with a carefully crafted menu of small plates and large plates. Every dish I tried was thoughtfully made. The staff were very attentive and kind to have not charged us for a mistaken order, even after we refused because it was such a delicious surprise. The soft tofu spicy nabe had a great beef and fish soup base that really sung. Not pictured are the fried chicken skewers and vegetable skewers. The fried chicken skewer was a perfect balance of crunchy and saucy with all dark meat. I hope this iteration of a Korean bar at this location sticks around!

My partner and I were looking for a place to eat late at night after a concert, and I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place! The staff are so passionate and friendly, they give the best recommendations and take such pride in their products. The small plates allow for such great attention to detail. Everything we tried was delicious! Highly recommend.
