NEW OPENINGS AND RETURNS
Bok a Bok
The popular Guy Fieri-approved, Korean-Southern fried chicken joint Bok a Bok, which has locations in Burien, Capitol Hill, University District, and White Center, has expanded with an outpost at the Village at Totem Lake shopping center in Kirkland. Like Bok a Bok’s other locations, the spot offers a menu of double-fried chicken, fried chicken sandwiches, rice bowls, tater tots, kimchi mac and cheese, fries, dipping sauces, and more. The new restaurant is currently open for walk-up orders only but will soon be open for online pickup and delivery.
