Joule

Went for my husband's birthday. Food and service were both perfect as always!

It was great! Variety of flavors done perfectly. Superb and attentive service as well. Our party of four thoroughly enjoyed our evening there.

Or first dinner experience since covid and they knocked out out of the park. Safety and outdoor patio were top notch. Thank you for all the hard work keeping us safe!

Exceeded all of my expectations— amazing food with amazing service. Loved the cozy atmosphere and how open it was + the fireplace tops it all off.

Great meal. Sharing entrees works really well.

We had literally not been to a restaurant since March 2020. It was such a pleasant and delicious experience having dinner out at Joule. They followed all covid protocols and have the perfect space for it since they leave the front huge portion open so a light breeze was there inside the whole time. Food was tasty and unique as always. 5 big stars.

Warm and friendly vibe. Food overall good with one main standout (spicy rice cake)

Went on a rainy late afternoon for dinner. Very creative and delicious.

Always excellent food and service. This time was no different.

Another exceptional experience at Joule! Date night with my wife was made extra special with a combination of warm, personal service and food and cocktails that really overwhelmed our tastes and senses with goodness! Some of the best and unexpected cocktails we've ever had (just roll down the list). Spring rolls combined the freshness of beans and mint with expertly grilled beef. All the meats are no- brainers - delicious, perfectly prepared and flavor surprises! Don't skip the Joule box for dessert!

Phenomenal management and service

Absolutely Amazing. Great Food and Great Vibes! They maintained social distancing and felt safe during the entire experience.

My wife and found our dining experience at Joule was very good. The social distancing was done in a comfortable way did not impact the dining experience. Job will done.

Food here is always awesome!

Joule doesn't disappoint! The food is top-notch. My boyfriend and I dine out a lot and enjoy a wide variety of cuisines - some of which we try to dissect and recreate. Joule's subtle Korean flavor profile is so delicious and high quality and nuanced we could never come close, making it well worth the event to dine in at Joule. We especially loved the scallion pancake and the salmon this trip.

Nicely presented. Very tasty. Smallish portions. Good service. Glad they are open, even at less than half capacity.

We held a birthday dinner there and had an excellent experience, will definitely be dining again!

Amazing food - we travel to Seattle to eat here and braved the pandemic to be here. Excellent food - especially the bone marrow and such good service and flavor!

The heirloom tomato salad was delicious! The roasted cauliflower wedge was great, but it should definitely be shared because it was huge! I felt safe since all the servers were wearing masks, and the tables were spaced out. We sat outdoors.

Wonderful anniversary dinner spent on Joule’s patio. Food and ambience were wonderful as usual.

I made a reservation for my husband's birthday, when we arrived, the table they wanted us to sit at was in the sun outside and my husband has medical issues with being exposed to too much heat. I asked for a 4 top that was in the shade and we were told that we couldn't sit there because it was for a reservation, they seated us at a deuce that was up against a bush. 10 minutes later a 2 top came in without a reservation and was seated at the table we had requested, when I confronted the host I was given the same BS excuse about it being reserved for a 4 top that never materialized, it seemed that these folks knew the chef. This is not how you treat people blowing $140 at your restaurant for a birthday celebration with a reservation and a medical condition, when I complained their response back was condescending and non apologetic for their obvious discrimination, basically "sorry we didn't meet your expectations." Don't waste your money or time here, this establishment doesn't know the first thing about customer service or how to forge long term relationships with their potential clientele. In the 25 years I have been in this industry I have never been treated so shabbily by any restaurant in the city of Seattle. The person I feel the worst for is my husband, this was his birthday dinner and this is how he was treated. Shame on you Joule!

As always, amazing! Amazing wine list to perfectly pair with the delicate food.

Joule has always been a staple for outstanding service and delicious food. Rachel Yang creates a cultivating experience. Every single bite is spectacular and so worth the price you pay. To add: its affordable! You will have an amazing time.

I was reminded why Joule is my favorite restaurant in Seattle. Amazing flavors. We liked the salmon in particular. Both deserts were excellent.

We love Joule..happy that we were back after they reopened.. new items on the menu are delicious especially the steak rolls..

A great meal on the patio. Felt safe with social distancing and other measures.

“That” short rib steak just wasn’t nearly what we were expecting. We didn’t finish the roasted cauliflower wedge. The tapioca with bruleed grapefruit was outstanding (as usual, probably my all time favorite dessert) and my “Smitten “ cocktail was fabulous. I hope the disappointments were just a fluke. I’ve had astonishing meals there and have been particularly impressed by their vegetable selections. This is one of my favorite restaurants and I constantly recommend it to those asking for suggestions.

DELICIOUS! Highly recommend

So good to return to Joule after months of restaurant closures. They are doing a great job of keeping things sanitary and safe, all servers wearing masks and gloves and taking care to keep the tables far apart.

Food was incredible as always, and service was excellent especially with the reduced number of patrons. Highly recommend.

Holy Mackerel!

Our first time dining out since the start of the pandemic. Staff was wonderful and good was excellent! The mackerel in particular was amazing.

I would suggest that management encourage staff to be more aggressive with patrons and masks. We repeatedly saw other patrons walking around the restaurant with masks off, including a fairly lengthy discussion regarding a bill at the host station.

I empathize with the staff wanting to be cordial, but it is in everyone's best long term interest to enable staff to remind patrons to don their masks when not at their dining table.

Delicious food an always an interesting offering on the menu. We enjoyed our dinner, especially the steelhead and the black sesame noodles.

We went for brunch and it was great! The dishes were super interesting and tasty, not your regular eggs and bacon brunch. The menu set up is excellent, where you get to choose one main from a menu and included is a tasty buffet as well. I also appreciated that they had a special menu that listed if each dish was GF, V, Veg, Nut free, etc.

This was worth every penny. My only request would be slightly larger tables for the two tops but I understand you work with the space you’ve got. Food, service, everything was fantastic and my husband had a nice birthday dinner.

Had a 3 hour dinner with friends on a weeknight. The small plates we had were mostly great (smoked tofu the surprising stand-out.) We also enjoyed the rice cakes, & eggplant. Don’t recommend the rib eye -an awful, inedible cut of meat. So tough we could barely cut or chew it.

Joule was great! One of the best meals I've ever had, and our server Alan was outstanding. He gave us so many good suggestions as out-of-town visitors.

Loved everything about Joule. The service was top notch and the food Was INCREDIBLE!!!!

The brunch buffet made it clear the chefs have pride in the food they prepare. Every part of it was delicious and unique. The main entree was almost a bonus after that buffet, but it was also perfect.

Food took a longer time than it should have 40 mins until first appetizers came out. Table next to us received a ton of attention as they were waited on very heavily with drinks, appetizers, water, etc. Felt neglected since we were VIP-type guests.

Loved it! Amazing server. Great variety of food and drinks. Love it.

This was our first time visiting Joule on the recommendation of a friend who lives in Seattle. Put this at the top of your food list, it is a taste sensation and blew our minds!! We had the Rice cakes (a must), they were so amazingly good we ended up ordering a second batch, one with the chorizo, another without chorizo and subbed it with mushrooms. If you have food sensitivities or preferences than what’s on their menu, they are more than happy to offer suggestions on how to modify. They even have a separate menu that lists what is gf,df, v, nut free, shellfish free. We also had the Shrimp Cocktail, Yellow Curried Beets (amazing), Potato Kimchee Lumpia (amazing), Radicchio Salad (fabulous) Chinese Broccoli, Kalbi Burger, Steelhead and the Ribeye. Sounds like a ton of food but they’re considered small plates and designed to share. They definitely didn’t feel that small and there was plenty to share with all 6 of us. We ordered desert which I didn’t try but everyone else really enjoyed it.
This place is in our top ten of places we’ve been to, which is saying a lot. Don’t second guess it, just go! You will not be disappointed.
