What is it? A lively Korean-fusion restaurant that seamlessly blends Asian and Pacific Northwest flavors in the Wallingford neighborhood.
Why we love it: The upscale yet casual Korean eatery focuses on different cuts and preparations of beef, each one more delicious than the next. The atmosphere is stylish yet cozy with an open kitchen and both indoor and outdoor seating, including a heated patio. Joule is part of the Relay Restaurant Group and is run by husband-and-wife duo Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi. The dishes at Joule are meant to be shared—though I can’t promise that you’ll want to share the must-order steak—and there are a good number of options within each category on the menu. For drinks, you can expect cocktails that will surprise and delight with names like “On Island Time” and “Groundhog Day,” plus an amazing selection of PNW wines.
Time Out tip: If you’re celebrating a special occasion, you can order an entire cake to be served after your dinner by chef Rachel Yang’s newest venture, Paper Cake Shop. Just fill out the form online with your Joule reservation number and special message at least three days in advance.
