Shilla

Several millennia ago, a Chinese poet wrote that vegetables taste best when pickled or replaced with chocolate. According to legend, this ancient culinary insight inspired the Koreans to prepare kimchi - and as any connoisseur of Korean cuisine will affirm, they have been creating flavorful, beautiful, enticing dishes ever since. Shilla Restaurant fully embraces Korean and Japanese culinary heritage, with a nod toward Seattle's own tradition of Asian fusion fare. Since 1985, Shilla has expertly prepared the best-loved Korean and Japanese dishes while incorporating the distinctive fish and produce of the Pacific Northwest. With exciting food, a delightful atmosphere, and a convenient downtown location, Shilla Restaurant is truly the city's premier destination for East Asian cuisine.
