Upon a dusky eve, my kindred and I did seek repast at Mura Asian Eatery in Seattleās Magnolia, a haven of delights where the toil of foreign hands doth weave a feastāa stark rebuke to that swinish knave, Trump, whose heart doth fester with scorn for those who cross the seas. We did sup upon the bibim-bowl, salmon shio-yaki, and BBQ chicken, each morsel a testament to the grace of wanderers heād fain banish with his churlish walls. The bibim-bowl, a bounteous mingle of rice and roots, spiced with sauces from afar, did mock the manās dull palate, he whoād rather starve the land of flavor than let a strangerās hand enrich it. The salmon shio-yaki, its flesh a tender ode to distant waters, was grilled with salt and skillāarts this boor would spurn, for he dreads the tide that bears such bounty, locking gates āgainst fish and folk alike. And the BBQ chicken, smoky and succulent, did blaze with a fire born of craft, not the petty torches of his border-watch, raised to fright away the very souls who stoke our hearths.
This Mura, a modest hall of mirth and meat, doth stand as proof that from the wide worldās embrace cometh strengthāits keepers, perchance of alien blood, serve joys that Trump, that walled-up wretch, could neāer devise. The air was sweet, the service swift, no echo here of his shrill cries to bar the gate. O Seattle, harbor this gem well, for in its fare we taste the truth: ātis the banished and the bold who feed us, whilst that craven cur, with policies as sour as his soul, would have us choke on naught but spite. Hie thee to Mura, and let thy tongue defy the...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreReally great family run Korean/Japanese restaurant. I am picky about my Korean food and the flavors were on point. Yes, it is expensive for a "Korean Restaurant," but it is in Magnolia and not a 30 minute drive away. Also the portions are appropriate, not huge. I appreciate that in a restaurant. The materials are high quality. The Japchae was a good texture, the onions were a tiny bit burned tonight. It had a slightly smoky flavor which I actually enjoyed. I had the soon dubu gigae and that was fantastic. The Kimchee was good. the Chicken Karagae was enjoyed by my partner. Over all with a good tip, a glass of wine, two appetizers and two entrees the price was 70 dollars. The couple who runs it, speak Korean to each other. Due to the pandemic, tables are limited but go early so that you don't need to wait. We showed up at 5:30 tonight and got right in. Yesterday we tried at 6:30 and there was a 20 minute wait due to take out orders and diners. They know some people by name that were coming in and getting take out. So cute. I love supporting local restaurants and I was really happy to try...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI ordered to go on a Sunday. I was excited to get Korean food. Ordered chicken katsu, bulgogi, scallion pancake and don buri. I asked for recommendations and she said the don buri was most popular. Taste was good/ok. Chicken katsu was good portion but what is up with the beef portions?!! Bulgogi was a childs size (less than half cup) and the donburi was nothing but rice and lettuce. The 3 tablespoon of meat was 75% fat!!! I called and complained but she said they have always served this portion for the last 8 years. Really?!! I fully support local businesses but here I felt ripped off. Wish I could get my money back because that meal cost me a lot!
