The brainchild of French-trained Korean American chef Rachel Yang, Revel brings big ideas and flavors to small plates, pancakes, and rice bowls. Temporarily relocated from its original Fremont home, the restaurant is winning over South Lake Union with its corned lamb salad, pork belly and kimchi pancakes, and short rib rice bowls.
Few of the dishes from the lunch and dinner menu even call for the quartet of house-made hot sauces that grace each table, given the boisterous flavors that come from touches like chipotle apple pickle on the char siu pork dumpling, and spicy red chimichurri on the grilled trout. In between meals, the happy hour menu features a few more casual—but no less flavorful—options, including spicy Korean ramyun and a kalbi burger.
Favorite thing about Seattle that you can’t find anywhere else?
Cool neighborhoods! First thing that any Seattleite would ask anyone is what neighborhoods they are planning to hang out in. Each neighborhood is so different and it instantly tells all about you. 🙂
