This cozy spot serves a delightful blend of Latin-Asian fare with standout bowls, tender meat, and a welcoming vibe that feels like home cooking.
"After a lost lease forced the Lee family to close their legacy teriyaki restaurant in Bothell, they reopened in a larger strip mall across the street with a new name and expanded menu. Now they’re also serving the kinds of Korean and Brazilian-influenced dishes the matriarch Lee would make at home — and can you ever go wrong with what mom’s cooking? True to form, it’s a menu full of understated but absolute stars: The kalbi here is exemplary, deeply savory from its soy and patiently caramelized onion marinade, and the basic-sounding “shredded pork” is so tender and juicy-rich with rendered fat and a just-right hint of citrus that it seems like it should have an honorific or something to indicate its excellence. (Shredded pork, Esq?)" - Eater Staff
"Tá Jóia, opened by the Lee family in Bothell, offers a modern new cafe space and an expanded menu of foods from the family’s own culture — their Korean heritage and Yoo-Mi’s time spent in Brazil. The restaurant features dishes like pico de gallo to kimchi fried rice, hwae-dup-bap, Spanish rice, brisket, slow-cooked pork, and sausage special. It aims to welcome back longtime customers with old teriyaki recipes reformatted into fast-casual bowls and introduce them to new flavors." - Naomi Tomky
