Seattle Date Night Restaurant 💝｜An Elegant Korean Dining Experience

📍 Paju: 513 Westlake Ave N, Seattle 🏢 Located on the ground floor of an office building with affordable retail parking available. The atmosphere is intimate and romantic, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering glimpses of the light rail 🚈 passing by—especially charming at night. We ordered four dishes and a mocktail, which were just the right amount for two. 🦑 Octopus: A starter featuring grilled squid—tender inside with a lightly charred exterior, served with roe, seaweed butter sauce, and yuzu dressing. Refreshing and flavorful. 🍙 Bugak: Crispy seaweed wraps filled with braised oxtail, served in two pieces alongside cucumber kimchi—a savory and texturally delightful bite. 🍛 Paju Fried Rice: Squid ink fried rice with kimchi, bacon, and smoked quail eggs. Wok-fried to aromatic perfection—highly recommended! 🐟 BRANZINO GUI: Grilled sea bass priced at $49. The fish was cooked well—crispy skin and moist flesh—but the seasoning felt simple, something easily replicated at home. The side dishes were a mixed bag; some tasty, others underwhelming for the price. ✨ Why It’s Special: Attentive service, perfect for anniversaries or romantic evenings Dishes creatively blend Korean flavors with modern presentation Reserve a window seat in advance to enjoy the city lights in motion A dinner full of intention, turning an evening into a gentle, memorable moment ✨. #Seattle#Seattlelife#Seattleguide#fooddiary#Seattlefood#foodguide#Paju
