PajuB+Worth Trying

513 Westlake Ave N, Seattle, WA 98109 · Korean restaurant · 4.4/5 Google (574 reviews)

Reservations · Delivery · Takeout

Creative Korean fusion with standout octopus, yellowtail, and bingsu; remarkable flavors but small portions, high prices, and inconsistent service pace mean best for special occasions, not casual nights.

Why it gets a B+ for overall quality

Paju delivers exceptional food quality anchored by skilled wood-fire execution and premium seafood, earning strong loyalty and destination appeal. However, inconsistent execution across dishes and notable service variability prevent higher standing—some visits feel polished while others show rushed pacing or inattention. Tight seating and heat management issues further limit the overall experience, making this a worthwhile neighborhood destination for adventurous diners rather than a premier regional establishment.
