Just like my Chinese mother in law makes.Chicken teriyaki has a grilled taste and was also excellent.Portions are large.Extra teriyaki sauce at the table, so you can add extra sauce and flavor.The egg roll was massive and delicious.The kids meal is also an excellent value and delicious.“

“We ordered the Bulgogi, Kalbi and chicken wings, everything was delicious. Even the banchan was so yummy! Service was excellent! Just a perfect little jewel in Kent!“

“Very good soups and best tendon gukbap and super tasty kimchi. Seafood pancakes aren’t as good, but that’s what I get for ordering that at a soup house I guess. Highly recommended! Super busy and we had to wait quite a while for a table but the food came fast once ordered and it was worth the wait. Also, the wait staff was very nice, especially the younger one.“

“I’ve come here multiple times, and it’s probably my favorite Korean spot in Federal Way—maybe even in all of Washington. The sullang tang is always on point. It has a generous portion of beef, and the soup is clean, rich, and really comforting.

The side dishes are great and pair perfectly with the soup, and the rice is always well cooked. I also really like the steamed dumplings—they taste homemade, are well seasoned, and are excellent.

I highly recommend this place.“

“We had such a great experience here! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The quality of the meat was excellent — everything was fresh, flavorful, and the seafood pancake was cooked perfectly. We also loved all the side dishes and soups they had to offer.
The restaurant itself is very clean, and the decor is beautiful, creating such a nice atmosphere for dining. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great Korean BBQ spot!“

“I recently ordered a very large catering order from Bibim Express to feed 125 people. Jung was absolutely incredible to work with--from the planning phase to payment and pick up. This was a new experience for me and she helped me to figure out what foods to order and quantities and helped me to stay within our budget. Not only was the food ready on time, she called me when I was running late to make sure I was ok. Her team helped us load up. And they even made laminated cards to help people (many of whom had never had Bibim) know how to put their bowls together. The food got rave reviews from all! We had people coming back for more and asking if we could order the same for the event next year. If you have to feed a large group, definitely consider Bibim Express. Top notch food, service and communication!!“

“Seoul Tofu in Kent is such a comforting and reliable spot for Korean food. The tofu is rich, flavorful, and comes out perfectly hot every time. You can really taste the depth of the broth, and the ingredients always feel fresh and well-prepared.
The banchan are generous and delicious, and the portion sizes are very satisfying. Service is friendly and efficient, even when they’re busy, and the restaurant has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to come back. Especially the young man in the front, and as well as the other server.
If you’re craving authentic Korean comfort food—especially soon tofu—this place is a must-visit. One of the best Korean spots in the area!“

“the best lunch I've had in a while.“

“This is hands down the best Korean-Chinese restaurant I’ve tried in Washington. Everything was delicious, and the flavors were spot on. Highly recommended.

They’re also currently offering a Jajangmyeon buy-one-get-one-free“

“The food was incredible! I got the Kimchi fries with beef bolgogi. It was so good! I highly recommend this dish! You have order your food on a computer screen, which was lame and impersonal, so it looses point for service, but that's nitpicking at best. I highly recommend this place!“

“Yang Pyeong is always so delicious! My favorite is the #4. Beef broth, brisket (Yangji). I've also tried the Gamjatang (Pork bone soup) on a staff recommendation last time and it was also good. The staff is so friendly and the side dishes are amazing too. Highly recommend.“

“Love their KBBQ & service“

“Food was fantastic. Service was great ample parking. We had a smorgasbord of Korean food. I’m not gonna try to pronounce any of it. Just look at the pictures you can ask for more side dishes if need be I had the short ribs and they were excellent.“

“In a state where Korean food dominates, this place stands out as one of the most delicious spots for Korean BBQ I’ve ever tasted. It’s great for bringing groups of friends or going in solo, fast service yet great in quality and quantity, straight to the point, great food, and great vibes for a great price. 10/10“

“Ordered takeout while I shopped around HMart. Service was fast and friendly. I got the N1-Black Bean Noodles w/ beef, options are pork,veggie, beef or seafood. Came with pickled radish. Very good. The flavor is so comforting. Very big portion and decent price! Will be back.“

“The main dish Pork BoSsam was good. It may be the way the kimchi was made, but it lack a certain deep flavor and tange that I would rather prefer

The some of the side dishes are good, but some of the pickled dished tasted off. The Bean sprouts dish have any hint of flavor, like sesame and garlic that makes banchan.

If you prefer lighter flavors then this place is for you.“

“We enjoyed the food and the ambience at Daebak Wang Mandoo. The beauty of this place lies in its simple yet elegant ambience. The food was great, The dumplings are soft and exquisite. The roasted Pork dumplings left us asking for more. IWe have tried the sea food noodle soup, which was very very tasty, the perfectly cooked shrimp and calms were very juciy.
I highly recommed this restaurent as a go to place for tasty korean food“

“This location is really unique, located between a massage parlor and a hair salon, this place is like a korean fried chicken joint mixed with a speakeasy. Club-like atmosphere with dim lights and modern music bumpin.
I ordered the fried chicken and it came with 10 pieces and was really solid. Bit expensive, at 22$ but perfect to share.
Friend orders the bulgogi and liked it
Didn’t get any drinks but the soju looked good.
Service is slow
Open till 12 so definitely a good late night spot with drinks and food“

“I was pleasantly surprised with how the Budae Jigae tasted. It was not salty unlike other Korean Restaurants in the area. The atmosphere reminded me of how a typical South Korean eatery was like when I lived in South Korea (Suwon-Si). Will come back and try the spare ribs next week! Great service as well. The owner was also kind, caring, and Ippo as well!“

“First time trying Korean style corndog and this place was fantastic! The man was very welcoming and friendly, he also got very
Busy w a rush of orders and was operating by himself but he pulled thru! Our food was hot and fresh and very very good! Give it a try!“

“Food was delicious, had generous portions, and came with lots of sides that were refilled a few times. The staff was friendly and attentive. Will be back!

Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs, flat surface, and space to put a wheelchair at the end of booths.“

“First time going, had a great experience. So much food, all you can eat for just $40. The Garlic Chicken and Spicy marinated Pork were our top two favorites. But everything we got was great. Got also the Beef brisket (which they give you a lot), the Spicy marinated Shrimp, and the Spicy marinated Chicken. For two people who are hungry, only 4-5 meat dishes needed. They do not let you take any leftovers home unfortunately. Even if you cook it. Also got their fried rice, the Kimchi Soup (really good), and the Cold Noodle dish (not that great, or just not our favorite thing compared to everything else and was unnecessary). It was my husband's first time having Korean BBQ, so was fun and he really enjoyed getting to cook his own meat and he loved everything and how much we got.“

“One of the best Korean restaurants in Federal Way. Have been there with both my Mom and husband recently.“

“hubby and I were in from Indy and we had bacon burger and Hawaiian burger. pretty tasty.“

“Love the place at first , don’t go now. Small portions and prices increase Good bye“

“the most authentic tasting soondae soup eaten in WA since leaving korea. would've given five stars, but soondae was small unlike in korea, liver slices were a bit stale, and no fresh garlic chives! the k-style katsu was outstanding, BTW.“

“food was goodsrvice was good too!“

“Small Korean banchan market but with a wide selection of dishes ready to eat and frozen. Note: all sizes are large and be prepared to spend some money est. $18 a dish
Lotus root, scallion, cucumber and radish are so good, waiting for the beef soup to thaw 🥰 friendly mom and daughter business“

“No frills Korean BBQ. The meat is on an island. You select what you want and cook it. There are other side dishes. I pretty much stuck to the galbi, marinated beef ribs. I’m stuffed myself.“

“Great food and Staff. I'll definitely be back“

“Amazing family owned restaurant. The service here is phenomenal and so personable. The food I'd delicious and always prepared so well. This has become a favorite of mine recently. Highly recommend.“

“We found this place on a whim and it had immediately become a favorite spot for the vibe, the food, and the people. It's a great spot for a late night stop, drinks, or whatever you might want. Our go to has been cheese corn and soju cocktails, but there is such a variety to try.“

“Great service, delicious, and fun for the whole family! Was super exciting to have Korean Bbq in Kent! Will definitely be going back and highly recommend!“

“We absolutely love this place! It’s run by a lovely older couple who cook everything themselves, the food is always fresh and full of flavor. The sushi is the best we’ve ever had, and the soups are amazing. Cozy atmosphere and truly made with love. Our favorite sushi spot!“

“My first time trying jajangmyeon I don’t really know if I can compare or have much knowledge on how it should taste but I thought it was good, also got the orange chicken my baby loved both. Chicken had a nice subtle orange flavor not too overpowering to keep you eating more, sides were also different flavor/texture to have kimchi is a nice touch to add so was the radish. The most friendliest people ever which makes this place above 5 stars. More than enough food for lunch & dinner I highly recommend Malri Hyang without a doubt.“

“The minute you walk in, the atmosphere is so alive with the music, TV and friendly welcome form the staff. The place is visually and smells clean. They are so quick in getting my order out. Only 15 minutes from the time I ordered. Food tastes great with hefty portions. Great place to enjoy Teriyaki ,Chinese and Korean cuisine.“

“We had a few fabulous meals, delicious and spectacular! Pork vindaloo marinated in tamarind vinegar, fish and farm-chicken xacuti, crunchy colourful vegetables stewed in coconut milk, and more. Even a mundane ingredient like yellow pumpkin, cooked simply in earthen vessels, tasted complex and exotic. If you ever offer cooking classes, i'd love to learn the basics!“

“My mom and I started coming here about two years ago and ever since it’s been a favorite spot of ours to get sushi! Now it’s a place my husband and I come all the time. The chicken katsu is so good it’s his favorite and the cream cheese wontons are TO DIE FOR❤️ this place is a great option if you want good sushi but don’t want to pay and arm and a leg at trappers!

100% recommend“
