Seattle's Alki Beach is set to welcome a new dining experience this summer as Do Si Korean BBQ, currently operating a location in Kent, has purchased the former Duke's Seafood restaurant at 2516 Alki Ave. SW. The announcement comes shortly after Duke's Seafood confirmed the closure of its Alki location.

Brian Hoang, managing partner of Do Si Korean BBQ, confirmed the purchase on Monday as reported in the Puget Sound Business journal, stating that the goal is to open the second Do Si location on Alki by July. Do Si Korean BBQ offers a variety of Korean barbecue dishes, along with beer, wine, and cocktails.

In a statement posted on social media, Do Si KBBQ expressed their excitement about the expansion, saying, “Do Si KBBQ is headed to Alki Beach this summer! What started in Kent as a bold idea to bring a fun, delicious & unique KBBQ experience to the community has grown into something bigger - all thanks to you. Our new home is right on the Seattle waterfront - a space full of history, and now, a new chapter. We're excited to bring good food, good vibes, and new memories to Alki. Our team is working hard to bring the Do Si experience you know and love to this new home. We can't wait to welcome you into this new space. Thank you for your continued support. We're so excited to grow with you!”.

According to their current entree menu, Do Si offers a range of popular Korean dishes. Some of the entrees and their prices include:

• Beef Bulgogi: Grilled thinly sliced beef marinated in house sauce, priced at $26.

• Grilled Galbi: Grilled beef short ribs marinated in special house sauce, priced at $29.

• Pork Bulgogi: Grilled thinly sliced pork marinated in spicy house sauce, priced at $26.

• Chicken Bulgogi: Grilled chicken marinated in spicy house sauce, priced at $23.

• Hot Stone Bibimbap: Steamed rice mixed with sauteed vegetables, beef topped with egg and spicy bibimbap sauce in a stone pot, priced at $20.

In the Puget Sound Business Journal story, Hoang noted that the Alki location already has the capacity to handle many customers, and the reopening process mainly involves new paint and furniture. The lease for the building has nine years remaining. Seattleites can look forward to experiencing Do Si Korean BBQ's "fun, delicious & unique KBBQ experience" at their new waterfront location this summer.
