32 Best Korean Restaurants near Edmonds

““I recently visited a Korean restaurant in Edmonds and was absolutely delighted! The atmosphere was very cozy, and the service was top-notch. I especially loved the fresh dumplings – they were incredibly delicious! I will definitely be coming back again!”“

“Seriously, I've never had a better server. She memorized our 5 orders with drinks and appetizers perfectly. She checked-in just the right amount and brought us stuff before we even knew we needed it. Amazing customer service is still alive and well here. The food was amazing too. The chicken is wonderful the sides were unique and tasty as were the drinks. I brought family from out of town and they were beyond impressed. 5 stars deserves 10 stars.“

“Wow. Ok best wings in the entire United States that I've had so far. Dead serious omg“

“So happy a dedicated jokbal/bossam restaurant opened. The jokbal I ordered was delicious, with the proper fragrance and seasoningThe single serving was huge, more than enough for two people. Three people would satisfied with extra lettuce, garlic, shrimp sauce, and samjang. They didn’t try to deceive with a lot of bones. Service is fast, packaging was somewhat eco friendly with paper instead of plastic.“

“A very solid place for good traditional Korean soups. I had the spicy beef soup and was very happy. The place is not trendy and looked to attract a very local crowd. Prices were inline with other Korean restaurants. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other soup selections.“

“Delicious and affordable place not too far from Edmonds downtown. Owners are very friendly and kind, making sure they meet your needs. We wanted to make a take out order for the Kimchi Creamy Udon, and have the udon cooked separately since we were planning to have it the day after. They initially said they never done it before and said it might be difficult, but made an exception and prepared it in a way we needed it hearing that we lived far away. We cooked it the day after, it was delicious!!

We had LA kalbi teriyaki and fried chicken in the restaurant too. Can't go wrong with LA kalbi. We were surprised at the HUGE portion of the fried chickens. One comment is that the Yangnyum fried chicken had more sour taste to it than sweet for our palette (we're Koreans). Wasn't sure if it was just a one-off thing or if that's the taste they prefer.

Saw a lot of people dining in and making take out orders. Would recommend giving a try if you're in the neighborhood.“

“amazing food, fantastic service! taste explosion of goodness! a MUST visit place!“

“The food is so good. Fresh and delicious. The service goes above and beyond. Parking can be tricky if you come in from the front but if you go around behind the building there is ample parking.
I highly recommend the 3 fish and the kimchi pork with tofu!“

“We love this place so much. It has been such a great little restaurant over the years. The Korean owners are fantastic and it's wonderful to come in and use the technology that we have to speak Korean and have it translated from English.“

“I ordered the beef teriyaki with extra meat, came out to about $36 which, before I GOT the food, felt like a lot. But when you see what you get it feels good. The food is excellent! The box couldn't stay closed on its own, they had to tape it shut. It fed me for two days. AWESOME. Gonna go back and get more tonight!“

“This was our first visit to this place. We went around 12:30ish on a sunday and found a table immediately (for 3). Hot tea was served after we sat down. We also got radish kimchi and cabbage kimchi. Both were really good.
Our order included - Brisket sullungtang, dumplings soup, mixed sullungtang.
Unfortunately the seafood pancake is served only after 4 PM.
The soup was a little bland for our taste, but they had sea salt and pepper. After adding some salt, it was very good. They also serve a red chilli paste (it was nice to eat the rice with that paste).
The soup was served steaming hot and until we finished, it was hot. No regret with any of our orders. Service was good too!
Will definitely visit this place to try the others - pancake and tongue sullungtang for sure which we couldn't try earlier.

Vegetarian options: No options“

“this place is so 🤌🤌🔥🔥🔥 should have a line out the door. hugeeee portions and wow. so good! bravo🫵🫵“

“I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was absolutely incredible!! Chicken was just amazing and the pickled radish is an awesome accent! will def be back soon!“

“I'm obsessed. The owner is so cute and she makes sure she's open if I'm coming. She tends to rotate the selection so there's always fun new things to try. I'm a big vegetable eater so I can recommend so many things but my favorites are the following:

The eggplant 🤤
Bok choy kimchi
Spring onion
Pumpkin with cashews
Braised beans
Pickled yellow radish
The crosshatched mushrooms on the counter (I apologize I don't know what they're called but I adore them)“

“Amazing Staff! So Friendly and the food! Off the Charts!!“

“This place is a godsend for late-night munchies. Amazing food, friendly service, and open extremely late - what more could you ask for? The bulgogi was a large portion and was tender and umami without being too sweet. The soybean soup could have used a bit more flavor, but I appreciated it being packed with tofu, zucchini, and other extras. Banchan was good, and I liked the option of having purple rice! Would save this spot for a late-night feast.

The location is a bit tucked away. Interior is very cozy but clean“

“Their Korean-inspired Asian fusion burritos are outstanding! I’ve tried almost all of them, but the Flaming Boar is probably my favorite. Fair warning: these burritos are big—enough to share or it will likely become two meals for you! Either way you win.“

“Super friendly staff, cosy atmosphere and amazing food. 11/10, I would bring all my friends here :))“

“The food is great. I called on my lunch to order . Multiple times got hung up on. Pick up then hang up. Then I go in to order and the kid taking orders did the same thing when people called. Not even very busy and he’s hanging up on customers calling to place an order. not cool. Might wanna let him know. But the place is great never had food I didn’t like“

“Amazing Service & Great Vibes!

My friends and I decided to check out Kochi Pocha on a whim, and I’m so glad we did! The service was absolutely excellent—two ladies took care of us, and they were beyond attentive. They joked around with us, making us feel completely at home. It’s rare to find such warm and engaging service these days!

The atmosphere was lively, the food was delicious, and to top it all off, we got free ice cream at the end—such a perfect touch! I’m definitely coming back. If you’re looking for a fun and welcoming dining experience, this is the place to go!“

“This is my go to for quality comfort style Korean food. It's one of my guilty pleasures to get food delivered from here and it's always exactly what Im looking for, hearty, well seasoned and generous portions. Get Japchae, Kimchi Fried Rice and Bulgogi. Eat what you can and eat the leftovers like a king.“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

“I'd seen this place just off the road for awhile and had always meant to go, finally went and it was a pleasant surprise! I thought it was just fancy hot dogs (by the name) but I was stoked to see it was corn dogs! The fries on outside is genius! Also I would've LOVED this place if I was a kid!“

“First time here and will surely come back, staff are very friendly, food is great and the place is very clean.“

“Honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, but the food and staff here rocks. I’ll definitely be adding this spot to the rotation!“

“This is my favorite restaurant! Always amazing food and service!“

“Great food and amazing service! The staff were very attentive and friendly. We came here on a Friday night just past 5pm - they don’t take reservations on Friday so it was good that we went early. By the time we left there were a few groups waiting. We got the bulgogi, Japchae, Golbi Tang soup, and Hot stone bibimbap. Everything tasted so good and my personal favorite was the soup - the meat was so tender and soup so flavorful. Would definitely love to come back next time I’m in Seattle!“

“This is my go-to lunch spot every time I hop over to the Seattle side of the Sound, which is basically weekly… The staff are super friendly and their self-serve all-you-can-eat bbq bar is always nice and fresh with a good selection of meats and sides that really hit the spot. They also have a full menu of traditional Korean dishes. I will keep returning until life takes me away from WA in 2026…
(Be sure to try their soft serve ice cream after your meal!)“

“Good little place to drop in if you're craving Korean. Side dishes were lovely and refilled often and the food we ordered was authentic and tasty. Luckily it wasnt busy when we went and they seated our large-ish party of 7 immediately. Nice little hidden gem.“

“Greate K-Chinese cuisine! Hold-in-the-wall place with authentic flavors, freshly cooked on the spot. I happily return to this spot multiple times. Service is great, they're kind and fast in serving the food. You need to enter the G Mart (grocery store), turn left before you pass the cashier and walk way inside to reach the restaurant.“

“Very friendly receptionist that had to misfortune of dealing with how clueless I was lol but handled with professionalism and courtesy. Walked me through the menu and was very nice. Order the beef bulgogi over rice and it was such a huge portion and super tasty!“

“New Seoul Korean Restaurant is situated at the intersection of Lynnwood, Mukilteo, and Everett. It had been a long time since my last visit, but when I returned for a weekend lunch, the place was fully packed, clearly a popular spot in the area.

Initially, I thought this restaurant specialized in soondae (Korean blood sausage), but after browsing the menu, I realized they offer a wide variety of Korean dishes. From Korean BBQ and seafood to soups and stews, they seem to have just about everything. As of March 2025, the prices remain reasonable, especially considering inflation and Seattle's market trends.

We ordered the Korean Blood Sausage Soup (#26), Spicy Beef Soup (#32), Spicy Fish Stew, and Unspiced Fish Stew. Typically, spicy fish stews are made with frozen fish, but if you're lucky, you can get a fresh fish version, fortunately, it was available during our visit.

Five different Korean side dishes (banchan) were served, all well-balanced in flavor, not overly sweet or too spicy. A standout feature of this restaurant is the stone-pot rice. You can scoop out the freshly cooked rice first, then pour hot water into the pot to make nurungji (scorched rice), a traditional and comforting finish to the meal.

We enjoyed everything we ordered except for the unspiced fish stew, which didn't quite meet our expectations.

One minor downside was the restaurant's payment policy. We wanted to split the bill, but the cashier politely informed us that they only accept cash or a single credit card payment per transaction. Since only one of us had cash, and not enough to cover the entire bill, one person had to pay with his credit card while the rest of us reimbursed him via Venmo. While this wasn’t a huge issue, it was a slight inconvenience.

Overall, the food and service were great, making it a solid choice for authentic Korean cuisine in the area.“
