What User doesn't like about Paju:
I had high expectations given the hype from my friends and family, but this restaurant just seems overhyped. The plates are incredibly small and expensive at least $20 for a tapa sized plate.

Paju is a hidden gem in Seattle, offering a culinary experience that is truly unforgettable. From the amazing Korean wings to the truffle rib eye bulgogi, every dish is a work of art. The attentive staff and generous portions add to the overall fantastic dining experience. With a delightful blend of Korean and international flavors, Paju stands out as one of the best restaurants in the city. Don't miss the seafood pajun paired with Makgeolli for a truly authentic taste of Korea. Chef Bill's creativity and attention to detail make this place a must-visit for food enthusiasts. Highly recommended!.

Runs close to the fine dining scale. Interesting Korean fusion concepts and the portion sizes are small so order a lot!
