📍 Seattle Food Adventure | Paju

Finally checked out this super trendy Korean fusion spot near the Space Needle! The vibe is elevated and chic, leaning toward fine dining—mood lighting on point! 🍽️ What We Ordered: 🐟 Yellowtail • Beautiful plating, fresh fish with crisp apple slices—light and summery, but flavor is subtle (great for mild-palate folks). 🦑 Paju Fried Rice • Unique twist with kimchi’s tang + squid ink’s umami. Not greasy, balanced flavors—top pick for mains! 🦪 Oyster • Bold Korean-style seasoning (spicy, tangy)—not your typical light Japanese vibe. For adventurous eaters! 🥦 Cauliflower • Surprise hit! Charred, crispy, and packed with flavor—vegetable MVP. 🥩 Beef Tartare • Wrapped in seaweed, sweet-sour Japanese-Korean fusion. Creative, but lacks depth for me. 🥗 Little Gem Salad • Fresh but basic (cheese + nuts = fine, but skippable). 🍸 Paju Vesper • ⚠️ Warning: SUPER bitter with a harsh finish. Only for hardcore liquor lovers. 🍧 Sujeonggwa Bingsu • Wildcard dessert! Ginger-infused shaved ice—spicy-sweet niche vibe. Love it or hate it! 😢 Missed Opportunity: Their famous Bugak was sold out—next time for sure! 📍 Address: 11 Mercer St, Seattle, WA 🕐 Pro Tip: Reserve ahead—it gets packed! Why Paju Stands Out: ✔ Artful Korean-fusion dishes ✔ Moody, date-night-ready ambiance ✔ Unexpected flavors (like that ginger bingsu!) #PajuSeattle #KoreanFusion #FoodieFinds #SeattleEats #CreativeCuisine #CinnamonBingsu #CocktailFail #Seattle #RestaurantRecs #KoreanFood #SeattleWeekend #DateNightSpot #SeattleFoodScene #VibeDining
