Seattle｜Korean Fusion So Good It'll Make You Crawl Back for More!

Paju 513 Westlake Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109 Finally getting around to sharing this gem from a while back! 🕰️✨ This place looks deceptively simple from the outside, but every dish is a flavor explosion with unexpected twists. 🌟 Mushroom Dish (Must-Order!) A masterpiece—sautéed mixed mushrooms topped with cheese flakes and white kimchi bits. The mushrooms are insanely aromatic, and the cheese adds richness without being heavy, while the kimchi gives it a bright, tangy kick. Pure magic! 🍄🧀 🌟 Grilled Octopus Charred perfection—tender inside, crispy outside, with a light marinade that enhances (but doesn’t overpower) the natural flavor. The sauce is next-level: fish roe + a hint of acidity = zero greasiness, all satisfaction. 🐙🔥 (Note: Portion seemed smaller last visit—hoping it’s temporary!) 🌟 Oxtail Tacos (Superb!) The herby green sauce is divine, and the textures? Flawless—soft meat, crispy bits, all balanced. So refreshing! 🌮💚 🚫 Skip These: Fried Rice: Forgettable. Basic flavors, nothing special. Seafood Pancake: Too greasy—one piece left me feeling blah. Cocktails: Pretty but underwhelming. Verdict: Paju is 90% genius, 10% miss—but the hits are SO good they’ll haunt your cravings.
