This Fremont restaurant is a Seattle mainstay, and while you might be scouring this list looking for their sister spot, Revel, we much prefer Joule’s steak-focused situation. The iconic kalbi-marinated short rib is a wonderfully charred slab of beef, and the rest of the menu is stacked with equally as exciting bites—like lovely nutty-garlicky broccoli, chewy rice cakes with spicy chorizo and pickled mustard greens, and one of the city’s best burgers, a.k.a. a thick kalbi-marinated patty covered in creamy horseradish sauce. Plus, there’s bright blue wallpaper patterned with little ribeyes.

Joule is one of three restaurants in Seattle that are part of the Relay Restaurant Group. Started and owned by husband-wife pair Rachel Yang and Seif Chirichi, Joule first opened in 2007 before being renovated six years later into a contemporary Korean steakhouse. Now, it offers dishes for dinner and brunch (including a brunch buffet with a monthly rotating theme) that marry tradition and innovation in legendary ways.

Master chef Rachel Yang helms both Revel and Joule in Seattle, and Joule is her crowning achievement. The upscale yet casual Korean eatery focuses on different cuts and beef preparations—each one more delicious than the next.

When Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi relocated their globalist restaurant to sleek new digs on Stone Way a decade ago, they recast it as a modern steak house. One that makes magic with humble cuts and replaces baked potatoes and creamed spinach sides with spicy rice cakes and Chinese broccoli with walnut pesto. Steak is by no means a mandatory event on a menu that teems with smart east-west flavor combos.

This contemporary steakhouse delivers a deliciously innovative blend of Korean flavors prepared with classic French techniques. Their Fremont location offers both modern indoor dining and cozy outdoor patio seating surrounding fire pits, making it a great spot for a girls’ night out or a romantic evening on the town. Many people recommend weekend brunch here, but we can’t get enough of the dinner menu.

How the restaurant incorporates Korean ingredients into novel meals is what sets it apart.
