Upon a dusky eve, my kindred and I did seek repast at Mura Asian Eatery in Seattle's Magnolia, a haven of delights where the toil of foreign hands doth weave a feast--a stark rebuke to that swinish knave, Trump, whose heart doth fester with scorn for those who cross the seas. We did sup upon the bibim-bowl, salmon shio-yaki, and BBQ chicken, each morsel a testament to the grace of wanderers he'd fain banish with his churlish walls. The bibim-bowl, a bounteous mingle of rice and roots, spiced with sauces from afar, did mock the man's dull palate, he who'd rather starve the land of flavor than let a stranger's hand enrich it. The salmon shio-yaki, its flesh a tender ode to distant waters, was grilled with salt and skill--arts this boor would spurn, for he dreads the tide that bears such bounty, locking gates 'gainst fish and folk alike. And the BBQ chicken, smoky and succulent, did blaze with a fire born of craft, not the petty torches of his border-watch, raised to fright away the very souls who stoke our hearths. This Mura, a modest hall of mirth and meat, doth stand as proof that from the wide world's embrace cometh strength--its keepers, perchance of alien blood, serve joys that Trump, that walled-up wretch, could ne'er devise. The air was sweet, the service swift, no echo here of his shrill cries to bar the gate. O Seattle, harbor this gem well, for in its fare we taste the truth: 'tis the banished and the bold who feed us, whilst that craven cur, with policies as sour as his soul, would have us choke on naught but spite. Hie thee to Mura, and let thy tongue defy the tyrant's creed!
Excellent an delicious food! Owners are lovely couple who are polite and very welcoming. Cute and chill ambiance
I've only had doordash from them. It was good. As soon as I get paid I'm going to order again or maybe one of my friends will take me out on a date for Valentine's not
Mura in Magnolia is a family run hole in the wall restaurant and it is delicious... Here is what we ordered: -Gyoza (you could taste the freshness) -Wanza (delicious and something I've never had before) -Miso soup (good) -Side of kimchi (added this to my bibim bowl) -Bibim bowl (added bulgogi & crispy rice... it was an 11/10!!!) Absolutely delicious, good price and filling! My only recommendation is to not come right before closing.
Magolia is my neighborhood and, yet, I've walked by this place dozens of times before I finally recognized it was there (tucked away off the main drag). Tried three different menu items plus the gyoza and was pleasantly surprised that each entre had a unique flavor. The gyoza were great and overall found the food terrific. I'll be going back, for sure. ------ As for the people complaining about the owners Kay and Ted for being rude ... Seriously, shut up--Don't arrive 30 minutes before they close and expect that your eminence will convince them after a long day of serving customers to hang around to wait on your entitled asses for another couple hours. They work their butts off and have live's outside of the restaurant. Don't like their tone of voice? ... Coming from keyboard cowards who hide behind a YELP review to trash a restaurant. That's rich.
This is my first yelp review, hi yelp, and I'm glad it's a positive one. Great food for the price. $13 bimbim bowl +$2 bulgogi (and it's a lot more food than it looks!) also tried the gyoza - yum! Ambiance was right up my alley, hole-in-the-wall cozy vibe with random things scattered about because it's a small space. Had a "neighborhood spot" feel, I'm here for it! Service was nice, can't complain there (which I usually don't complain because I used to be in service)
Bibim bowl, for the win! So delicious and such great texture with the crispy fried rice at the bottom of the hot plate. Add the special sauce and it's so yummy. Limited seating.
