*A "MUST VISIT" Korean Restaurant in North Seattle!*
Between the in-house sauces and custom creations, to the sleek/modern look of the interior, Omni is positioning itself to be contender for best Korean experience in Seattle. Yall know the drill, Let's get into the specifics.
Food -- 4.5/5
I came for the BBQ, and generally don't experiment when I eat at Korean restaurants, but their wide array of appetizers, small plates, and soups were phenomenal. I just had to try some new things, mainly the sides and the beers (no Asahi, Sapporo, etc.)
We got the small package, which is dinner for two, but it was more than enough for 3 when coupled with appetizers.
THE MEAT WAS TO DIE FOR! Cooked to perfection (medium to medium rare) and it melted in our mouths! Out of all the meats, the ribeye was the clear winner for me.
Also important to note that Korean fried chicken was an honorable mention! We ended up taking this home because we overestimated the amount of food.
Service 5/5
All staff were friendly and attentive. I usually gauge this by whether I need to ask for more water. They made sure everything was going well every 5-7 min, and it wasn't bothersome at all. Our server also recommended all of our meals which I appreciated.
Ambiance 4.5/5
The interior of this place feels so sleek and modern, like you're stepping into a high class club after hours. It was also quiet though.
The bathrooms were also ridiculously clean and smelled amazing do their their fragrant fresheners. Thinking back, I should have asked where they got that from.
The only downside to this restaurant is its location. Yes, the parking is abundant, but it's on Aurora Ave, and that area is known for being sketchy. There were even sketchy things happening outside as we walked in. This restaurant would thrive in a different area, like Bellevue or Kirkland.
To the owners, please consider opening another location in the east side!
Final disposition
All in all, this spot is perfect for KBBQ lovers who want to have a one of a kind dining experience, and for groups who don't want to cook their own meals!
4.5/5 would recommend!
