About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Innovative
Neighborhood gem

Joule, the first restaurant from celebrated husband and wife cooking team Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi, is re-located in October, 2012 to the innovative, newly developed the Fremont Collective in Seattle’s Wallingford/Fremont neighborhood. From its original opening in 2007, Joule has cultivated a loyal dining fan base and captured the attention of an admiring local and national media captivated by the couple’s unique, modern perspective on Korean cuisine. Joule, the mature sibling to Yang and Chirchi’s restaurant, Revel, highlights Korea’s love of beef featuring unconventional cuts accompanied by distinctive and shareable side dishes.

Joule takes reservations for 1.75-3 hour time slots (depending on party size). We do our best to accommodate as many guests as possible and ask that you are considerate of other diners at the end of your meal. If you feel that your party requires more time, please let us know in the notes and we will get back to you with our available accommodations.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Rachel Yang

From the OpenTable editors: This neighborhood charmer from multi-James Beard Award-nominated chefs Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi is where you go for refined Korean steakhouse fare with a Pacific Northwestern twist. Dishes like Gochujang lamb adobo with green curry pea puree exemplify the wife-and-husband team’s bold flavors rooted in classic techniques. Watch them work from an open kitchen in the inviting space, complete with handmade wallpaper and communal seating that make every meal feel like a lively dinner party.

Joule is a great restaurant in Seattle with awesome vegan and vegetarian options. I loved the rice cake with mushroom substitute, which was really tasty. The summer squash with Sechuan sauce was amazing - the flavors were perfectly balanced and not too overwhelming. Our server Tiger was super helpful and gave great recommendations that made the meal even better. The menu has something for everyone, and I was impressed by how creative the plant-based dishes were. If you're looking for a solid dining experience with good food and friendly service, Joule is definitely worth checking out.

Family time with two kids-they ate the steak, tofu and ‘pizza’ like flatbread. Adults enjoyed the kimchi, tasty rice cakes (mochi) not too spicy, steak and mackerel. It was awesome. The most amazing banana pudding ice cream sandwich, omg. Enjoy

We always enjoy Joule. The service is always great and the servers always seem to make an extra effort for us to have an enjoyable experience while dining. The food is wonderful. My favorite was the octopus which was a generous portion and cooked to tenderness. We’ll be back!

Food is good but the only dish that was particularly mind blowing was the Kalbi. The level of service does not match the price point though. It took us a while to get greeted at the host stand even though the person was right there and we were pointed to our table instead of being walked over. It took 10 minutes for us to be greeted by the server and to get water. Servers and runners did not know who ordered which drink (a very simple system can be set up for this). Water was often not filled. Plates were not cleared when empty. It just lacked an attention to detail and hospitality that I would expect at this price point.

The rice cakes and short rib steak were both absolutely incredible. Our waitress was wonderful, and we wish we would’ve listened to more of her recommendations! I would send every friend in town here

As first time Joule diners we really appreciated our server’s suggestions for what to order, portion size, etc. She was very attentive to our needs. The food was outstanding, especially the strip steak ad the scallion pancakes. Will definitely return.

I personally felt the restaurant was overrated. It's asian fusion and majority of what we ordered tasted good but it wasn't extraordinary or even nearing excellent. We have tasted better steak in other lower rated restaurants, and I found the noise level to be too much to even hear the person sitting across the table. Service was okay. We went with our toddler and there was no toddler food. This was a disappointment because I called the restaurant prior to reservation, and they said they do have few things for toddlers/kiddos. Upon arriving there, the server initially suggested Korean Scallion Pancake for my toddler and said it was crowd favorite. It was overly crispy, may even call it hard to bite even for adults. Since our toddler didn't like the texture, we ordered their bread, and it was frozen sour dough and turned out hard and charred as they had to warm it up. Again, she didn't like it, we finally ordered their buttered pasta which was tasteless, needless to say, she didn't like it and my kid isn't a picky eater. I believe our family had over expectations on this place and maybe we were slightly disappointed with the food because of our over expectations. Overall, it wasn't too bad, honestly, it's good for nice dinner although slightly pricey.
