50 Best Korean Restaurants near Edmonds

“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.“

““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!”“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wow Teriyaki is excellent. Great food and good portions. Ester gives great service she’s very friendly and personable. We have enjoyed dining at her restaurant for years . I’m so glad she is here in Lynnwood. Thank you for being so awesome!. “Mama.”“

“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!“

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

“I go to Jang An at least once a month. It's my ultimate comfort meal. My favorite is clear noodles with beef tongue, but my husband likes the wheat noodles with mixed meat. You can't go wrong with either choice. It's very filling with the complementary rice and kimchi. Another of my favorite is the dumplings: you can dip in the sauce but it's extra good in the broth. Love that the staff gives you free hot tea. Love the staff here as well: they're hardworking and attentive. Please stay in business forever.“

“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)“

“Good portion and price for the food. The kimchi fried rice and japchae had ok flavor. I wish they had some soup options to go with the bowls.
The place is unpretentious, has a few tables inside and two outside. I enjoyed the self served barley tea.“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“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!“

“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“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

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

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

“You know at first I wasn't sure what to expect when I came here late night with a friend for some grub. This place was great. Really chill atmosphere, not loud like a bar, and great food. Crispy juicy savory goodness. Though things could have been spicier.“

“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.“

“Highly recommend for lunch time! We had the all you can eat lunch, just $25 per person. It is so fresh! A huge variety of sides and the kitchen and seawead where so delicious. The meat was especially fresh and delicious, there was a huge variety. We had great service and they even accommodated our little. We will definitely be coming back!“

“AMAZING! This is some of the best Korean food I have had and maybe some of the best I’ve ever had. I got the Japchae-bap and literally texted all my friends with pictures. It’s so delicious. Don’t pay attention to the negative comments, they are just wrong.“

“What a gem! As you enter this place, the decor is inviting and modern. The owners are very friendly. The fusion Korean food doesn't compromise the genuine taste of Korean food and this coming from a very picky person when it comes to korean food. The portion is huge. The bulgogi burrito is large enough for 2 people to share. We didn't order the burgers but I heard that the owners specialize in burgers. Next time I'm definitely going to try the burgers!“

“These auntie don’t play, they can be straight forward and mean sometime but their food are always amazing. I don’t come here for the service, I come for their amazing soft tofu soup and grills short ribs. If you expect good customer service then don’t come here , but good food every time :)“

“Super great deal on their bento boxes, and the food was delicious! The lady at the front was very polite and she even gave our group free complimentary white rice. The store also has complimentary miso soup and hot tea which is also great. Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“I was a little skeptical of this place because of it being a food court. Also, there was no line so i thought it would be a terrible decision. The food was actually quite good and the portions were very generous. I would definitely come eat here again!“

“Best Chinese food in Lynwood. Jajjang mein is very delicious, rich in sauce. Dumpling is very tasteful, both are reasonable price. I will recommended to all my friend“

“Picked up dumplings and a bowl from the truck today in Redmond. Delicious!! I can’t wait to try more.“

“A lot to unpack here. I ordered chicken wings and Korean fries here for pickup on DoorDash. I walked in when the app said it was ready. I told the bartender I was there for a DoorDash pickup and she said it would be 5 more minutes. I didn’t actually receive my for another 25 minutes after talking to her, and she even asked me a second time why I was there. Lol Also within this time I witnessed two different parties get the wrong order. I also saw that they serve Everclear shots. Wild. When my food finally came out, the bartender just set it on the bar like 3 seats away from me and said “it’s ready”. Not very personable at all. The fries were soggy. Not sure why since I’d been in the building for so long, but I’m a weirdo and I actually like soggy fries as well as crispy ones so I was fine with that - the flavour was great. Maybe if you order them there, they will be crispy. The wings were phenomenal. Their sound system is amazing and I love their music selection. I also liked the K-pop videos. My 5-star review is based on food and ambience only. Service is lacking, much like other reviewers say. I’d come back for a to-go order.“

“Delicious food and friendly service! For appetizers, my friend and I ordered the vegetable pancake to share. It was steaming hot, crispy, large enough for us to share and have leftovers. I ordered the stone pot bibimbap with tofu. The bibimbap had lots of fresh veggies, perfectly cooked sunny side up egg, and crackling rice at the bottom. They give you tons of fresh banchan too!“

“Super clean restaurant and quick service! Most important of all, the food is phenomenal! Single best katsu curry in Lynnwood.“

“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!“

“Food is authentic and good. One needs to have patience as it is just a mom n pop place. A bit slow on service due to that. You also have to get your own silverware, water or korean hot tea.
Best to have someone grab a table, then you place your order at the counter to get a fast meal. Food comes out hot, tasty and large quantity size. Family style eating.“

“I have been going to Ohana Teriyaki for years. Always great yaki. Today I went in to grab some take-out and found out that the owners sold to a new owner. I met him, he was working the front counter. Apparently it had only been 6 days since the sale. He kept the ENTIRE kitchen staff. I brough home our beef yaki and chicken katsu combos and they were great. It was delicious, hot and he got the orders out fast. Will continue to go to Ohana as long as the quality stays top notch. Highly Recommended.“

“Don't be fooled by the looks of the dining room, the food here is good. The radish kimchi was excellent. The cabbage kimchi, although spicy, was delicious. The spicy pork, and marinated beef are wonderful. They're open until midnight and the staff are friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“It’s the best teriyaki I’ve ever had! Huge portions, great service!!! The noodles had perfect seasoning and texture—super satisfying—and the rolls were amazing. The teriyaki goes without saying, so I highly recommend trying it yourself!
100% coming back!“

“You come here for the food, not the atmosphere. It’s a food court. The flavors and portions are really good. You get a lot for your money which is always nice and on top of that the food is tasty. Traditional flavors, which is a good thing.“

“Perfectly average Korean BBQ. Food quality is based on your ability, pricing seems reasonable for an AYCE establishment.

Ingredients that were ordered were fresh and of high quality, including the shrimp and scallops.

Little to no decor, but let's be honest- you're going to K-BBQ for the party, not for the atmosphere.“

“Ordered the tofu teriyaki and the orange tofu bowl. Was very pleased with the taste! I was worried at first seeing another reviewer who was given meat instead of tofu, but I did not have that issue. I have been looking for a good tofu teriyaki in the N Seattle area for a while and will definitely return.“

“I recently visited Ka Won Korean BBQ and had a fantastic dining experience. The food was delicious, with a wide variety of side dishes that perfectly complemented the main dishes. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant dining atmosphere.

I was particularly impressed by the friendly and attentive service provided by the servers. They were knowledgeable about the menu and made excellent recommendations. Their warm and welcoming demeanor added to the overall positive experience.

Overall, I highly recommend Ka Won Korean BBQ for anyone looking for a delicious and enjoyable dining experience.“
