Came here for a birthday dinner to sample the various asian fusion dishes. Our server Michael was very friendly and informative of that evening 's menu. The four of us had the following dishes family style: Beef tartare 5/5 very fresh beef, with a lil yolk aioli to tie everything together. Comes with a fried rice paper, which adds a nice textural contrast Heirloom tomato salad 5/5 flavorful heirloom tomatoes, layers of roasted onion, and a fat burrata drizzled with chili oil to tie it all together Smoked tofu 4/5 simple ingredients but surprisingly good; generous amount of mushroom covered the tofu, in a tasty miso sauce 12oz grassfed ribeye 4/5 pretty good especially for the quantity, howev...
Starting off with apps, the beef tartare scallion pancake. The beef tartare was good, I'd give it a 7/10. Nothing mindblowing though. The scallion pancake I'd give a 6/10. The pancake by itself had no flavor and was very oily. The roe/creme fraiche/cilantro sauce was not balanced. The crème fraiche muted the other flavors and then was weird to get a pop of salty from the roe. I looooove scallion pancakes but this was pretty disappointing. I think more cilantro, finely chopped, would've helped with the flavor and also less crème fraiche. Next we got the rice cakes geoduck paella. Rice cakes were a 10/10. I loved the spicy flavor and the different textures of the rice cakes. Some were crispy a...
I recently had the Veganuary Sunday Supper at Joule and it was one of the best meals I've ever had. Although I am vegan, my three non-vegan friends who came with me also enjoyed the experience, as none of us had been to Joule before. The manager, Brandi, spent a lot of time talking to us and the chefs, Cera and Carter, explained each course to us. I tried the Oh Mai, Oh My! mocktail which tasted just like a mai tai and was delicious. My friend tried the mocktail pairings and was only disappointed by half of them. The eggplant unagi onigiri and housemade cashew cheese on toast with crunchy chickpeas were highlights of the meal for me. The portions were surprisingly large for a multi-course me...
Hmmm. Wanted to love Joule, but ultimately I think it 's a little overhyped. Came for dinner on a Saturday night and my party of 4 tried: Spicy rice cake Beef tartare Smokey wok style mussels Smoked tofu Chinese broccoli Kombu cured mackerel Ube mocha cake The most delicious thing was actually the cake it was totally perfect. Non dessert standouts were the beef tartare and spicy rice cake. Everything else was good, but not amazing. They sounded awesome in theory, but the flavors just weren 't landing. Pacing was also kind of weird the 4 starters we got were all spread out so the four of us were hungrily attacking one dish at a time, then waiting another 15 mins for the next app (prob would h...

Joule is a top-notch spot for Korean fusion cuisine that doesn 't disappoint. Despite the higher prices and smaller portions, the food is worth every penny. We tried a bit of everything, starting with the steak tartare and bone marrow appetizers. Both were exceptional, with the steak tartare boasting a perfect egg yolk and delightful pine nut crunch, while the bone marrow melted in our mouths. For mains, the green curry noodle and grilled octopus stole the show with their bold flavors and expert preparation. The kombu-cured mackerel was a simple yet standout dish, while that Short rib steak was pure melt-in-your-mouth perfection, especially paired with the gochujang sauce. The mussel had a d...
Have been here twice now and both times it was excellent. This time my wife and I shared the kimchi trio, smoked tofu, geoduck rice, short rib and rib eye along with the apple spoon cake and the crunch cake. Everything was great but the standouts were the smoked tofu, short rib and both desserts. The tofu was so light and subtle with the flavors and was really a pleasure to eat. The short rib was perfect and the sauce it came with was sooo good. We were surprised by how good the desserts were. Those were some of the best desserts we've had. My wife who does not like sweets said the spoon cake was her fat dish of the night! We sat on the patio and they put us right next to the fire pit which...

To start with Unique. You should look at the menu as something to share with the table. So bring friends to share more or with fewer people take home leftovers. We started with three kimchi's and then a bone marrow and toast. We had noodles lamb and steak. Each unique and you will not find anywhere else. Parking in the area is a challenge so you might just want to park in the paid lot across from Fremont Beer Garden. But if you have a beer do not fill up on beer and pretzels or you won't have room for dinner.l The restaurant seems small and is mostly kitchen. The staff is excellent.

A local friend recommended this restaurant and I'm so glad we listened to her. The food was delicious with unique flavors that really pack a punch. We tried almost every dish on the menu and enjoyed all of them, except for one or two that I can't recall. The ambiance and service were both excellent. Our waitress was helpful in guiding us on how much food to order so we didn't overdo it.
We LOVE joule. Make an extraordinary effort to come here at least twice a year now that we live over an hour away. I'd be mean if I didn't highly recommend the rice cakes!
