Gilson Korean Restaurant

Seafood pancake - 2.5 stars Needs to be more crispy. Too thick and soft.Spicy noodle dry beef - 3 starsTasted like some instant noodle.Korean BBQ - 3.5 stars

The food was okay. The tofu soup is too sweet than the traditional soon dubu. Yuk Ke Jjang can be more tasty. The service was good but the place is very cold. They could use more heater.

I had always driven by Gilson and always wondered what this place was. I finally came here with my husband one night for date night and I was pleasantly surprised. The interior felt like something from a South Korean restaurant in Seoul. It gave authentic Korean restaurant vibes and the food was really good! We ordered KBBQ and the kalbi was BOMB. The service was great, very nice and efficient. I'd definitely come back for more kbbq goodness.

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - Spicy Pork Intestines was a bit sweet but so good! The rice cake was cooked well and still had a chewy texture without becoming too tough or mushy. Texture was a bit chewier than expected rather than super crispy. It looked like a small serving initially but quite filling Soft Tofu Soup with beef was a bit sweet too which was surprising initially and a bit too much at the end. The tofu was so soft and the meat actually absorbed the soup flavorSpicy Cold Noodles was a generous serving. Simple with just lettuce, cabbage, and noodles with sauce but very satisfying. Ambience: N/A - ordered food to go. Have pop songs on which is a bit loud. Not very good ventilation. Very rustic feel Service: 5/5 - very attentive for the to go orders even when 4 parties walked in within 5 minutes of each other Value for price: 4/5 - the protein dishes are all quite pricey and we decided not to get KBBQ due to price and minimum of 2 proteins. However, everything we got was tasty even if a bit on the sweeter side.

Small Korean restaurant in Edmonds located in its own building in the parking lot of a plaza along Hwy 99. Got to Edmonds at around 8pm due to ferry delays. The other Asian restaurants were either closed or weren't seating new customers, but this place was open until 11pm. The place was quite lively when we got there and most of the seats were taken as we were dining. They serve a variety of Korean dishes. Korean BBQ is available, but not all of the tables have grills. We got an order of the fried wings which was 16 total pieces. We got half with the sauce and half without. The chicken was tasty. The outer skin and batter form a crunchy shell that's not overly flaky but easy to bite through. The wings with the sauce has a little sweet flavor to it. We also got the spicy beef soup as recommended by our server. Turned out to be an excellent recommendation. The soup bowl was sizable, and it was filled with ingredients including beef and glass noodles/vermicelli. Flavor was abundant but not really spicy. Also they served six banchan, which is a good variety. A good option (and maybe the only option) for a late dinner in that area.

Wait time ~90min for table- Best Korean Fried Chicken I have ever had 5/5. So hot juicy crispy omg I can't wait to come back for more. Highly recommended- Bbq intestine here is exemplary of how it should be prepared. The way they are sliced allows the side to become very crispy after grilling. Crispy exterior and goey fatty center. Awesome 5/5-Service is only staffed by 2 person and their service was excellent but please get more staff.-Ambience is crowded cozy loud very family friendly.

We came here on a weekday with a group of friends and the restaurant was not busy middle of the week. We had a group of 6 and got sat at the booth, they added a chair at the end of the table for us. We ordered:- mixed chicken wings basket- pork belly for the grill- short ribs for the grill - seafood pancakeI was super unimpressed with the seafood pancake, I have had better. The pancake was not crispy enough to our liking. Out of everything we had, the chicken wings were the best! Both flavors of the chicken wings were good. All the other dishes here were just ok. The chicken wings were everyone's favorite.

Ordered intestines bbq, beef and vermicelli soup, and bassom with kimchi. Very authentic, feels like u are eating in Korea and not Seattle. The fresh kimchi was superb. Soup was really good too, loved the black pepper taste. Looking at their fried chicken for my next trip back.

Very good bosssm, meat was tender and fresh. Kimchi had a different flavor to what I expected but still pretty good.

Came again and still amazing! Their service is top-notch even if they're super busy. Their food is delicious. My brothers family lives in LA but they adored this place. If you like korean food, this is your place.
