"When someone helpfully announces that she wants to “do something different!”, suggest Joule. The shareable Korean menu here was practically designed for big groups, and there’s a very good chance someone will eat something they’ve never tried before. Trust your server and split a bunch of small plates and steaks." - aimee rizzo
"Joule is a nice steakhouse serving Korean fusion food, and everything here is insanely good: think geoduck seaweed fried rice, braised octopus with hot bacon vinaigrette, and a ribeye with beef belly and spicy peanut oil. Sit on the string light-covered patio, order some steaks and small plates (don’t miss the corn, or the spicy rice cakes), and for the third time, assure your mom that you really do eat breakfast every day." - aimee rizzo
"Dare we say this place is the crown jewel of Fremont?! Joule is the newest sister to Revel (also found in Fremont). It is also Korean inspired cuisine, but it's just a little more laid back. Their brunch buffet (yes buffet) features a rotating monthly theme and is always a hit." - Wintr
"For Korean beef, you could go out for KBBQ. Or you could head to Joule for an upscale but not over-the-top experience involving blue wallpaper patterned with ribeyes. This Wallingford staple is a great spot for steak, but also offers a well-rounded meal that might involve scallion pancakes with creme fraiche and salmon roe, or spicy rice cakes with chorizo. Beef-wise, order the soy-soaked, grill-marked kalbi short rib steak and call it a day." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Joule is an absolute Korean staple in Seattle. The iconic kalbi-marinated short rib steak is a wonderfully charred slab of beef, and the rest of the menu is stacked with other exciting bites. Those include smoked tofu drizzled in soy truffle vinaigrette, chewy rice cakes with spicy chorizo and pickled mustard greens, and a thick kalbi-seasoned patty covered in creamy horseradish sauce (one of Seattle’s best burgers). Plus, there’s bright blue wallpaper patterned with little ribeyes. How appropriate." - aimee rizzo
