47 Best Korean Restaurants near Edmonds

“This place is a hidden gem! Got the pork trotters & pork belly combo to share between three and were really impressed by the quality of the meat! It was not oily at all and was perfectly supple and tender. The waitress was very nice and would offer to refill our appetizers without us asking.“

“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.“

“Comforting bone broth and generously filled dumplings. From my experience, Korean speciality restaurants only serve banchan that directly compliments the speciality...and their kimchi never disappoints. I love ordering from here whenever I feel under the weather or I'm homesick.“

“Perfectly okay Korean restaurant. Amongst all the dishes I ordered what stands out most is Grilled mackerels. They serve 3 pieces instead of usual two and looks like there were pan fried which is hard to replicate at home. They serve tons of banchans but in my opinion it is a waste and they should just focus on a few good banchans.“

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

“I have only ordered to go from this place. The Katsu and teriyaki chicken are excellent.
Everything showed up hot like it should . I ordered Gioza with my chicken as well.. It was also hot and fresh.. even though I didn’t pay for it, they included some salad and dressing along with my order 😌.

I ate most of the Gyoza 🥟 as soon as it showed up. Had a bunch of the cartoon and a few pieces of the teriyaki with my fingers. Excellent quality and consistency.“

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

“Don't let the strip mall location fool you. The gluten free food is delicious, not greasy, and they serve big portions. I loved the gluten free chicken katsu! Tons of meat, lightly breaded, no soggy or greasy texture, not overly salty. The katsu sauce was also great. I wish I found this place sooner. I can't wait to come back to try more gluten free Chinese dishes. 😋“

“Hands down, the best teriyaki place in Washington state. Love the portion size and the smoky flavor always hits the spot. Only things that I'd recommend is to get the sauce on the side, because I personally don't like it having too much sauce, it gets a bit salty.“

“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!“

“Everything was fantastic! We got the Bibimbap, half and half chicken, and the Bajirak Sujebi. The kimchi was also DELICIOUS. Im regretting not getting a jar to take home. We will be back! I wish I took better photos but, we were too excited to dig in.“

“The service here was excellent and the staff were very attentive. As for the food, it’s clearly high quality, but it has a very distinct style. Unlike the 'Westernized' Korean dishes or the specific style of soup I’m accustomed to, this felt much more like authentic home-style cooking. The fact that the restaurant is consistently packed with Korean patrons suggests they are doing something very right. While the flavor profile wasn't quite what I personally prefer, I can certainly appreciate the authenticity and the effort put into the meal. Worth a visit if you are looking for a genuine, homelike dining experience.“

“I finally visited after hearing so many good things, and it exceeded my expectations. Everything was delicious, and it’s easy to understand why this place is so popular among the Korean community. The eggplant side dish was exceptional, and the kimbap and spicy squid salad were equally tasty. Great quality food at very reasonable prices. The owner was also warm and helpful, making the whole experience even better.
가지반찬 꼭 드셔보세요!!! 진짜 최고네요. 재방문 의사 10000%입니다.“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

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

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

“It was my first time trying grilled intestines like this, and I was honestly a little worried it might have a strong smell, but they cleaned and prepared it really well. When the edges get slightly crispy and charred, it smells amazing, while the inside still stays soft and chewy. It tastes really good with grilled garlic.

The mushrooms were also really good after soaking up all the meat juices from the grill. The yukhoe was easier to eat than I expected too — once mixed with the egg yolk, the texture became really smooth and rich without feeling too heavy.

The atmosphere of the restaurant also felt really cozy, kind of like those small Korean restaurants in K-dramas. The lighting was nice and it wasn’t too loud, so it was a good place to slowly eat and chat with friends at night.“

“This place is incredible. Easily the best chicken sandwich in the greater Seattle area. The composition, ratio of slaw to sauce to chicken. A bit of pickling on the slaw. The blend of garlic, soy, and, sweet Chipotle mayo.

Seriously just go. Like right now.“

“It’s the total package. Service, food, price, everything. We had seafood and pork pancakes and it was definitely the best seafood pancake I’ve ever had. Period. Ample banchan. Also had the pork belly hot stone bowl, which crisped the rice all over, and the tofu soondubu. If you are going to go here though, come early to get the best of the kitchen.“

“I got a half mozzarella half all beef dog with potatoes here. It was extremely good, and I loved all the sauces.

It was only $7-8 for a hot dog, which is actually very good considering how expensive most restaurants are now.

The guy working the counter (younger guy with braces) was really helpful and patient with me. I hadn't been there before and kept asking what was good, and he was super helpful and gave me good recommendations.“

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

“I think this was my first time eating Korean that wasn't all-you-can-eat BBQ, which is my usual go-to. I showed up with a group of 3 with appetites to rival a small army around 8:30 on a Saturday night, and they did not disappoint. The tablet at the table made ordering very fast and easy so our appetizers came out in just a few minutes. My favorite was the riceballs, which had exactly the right texture and flavor. The complimentary side dishes I'm accustomed to at KBBQ were also provided, and my favorite staples (like fish cakes and potato salad) were there along with some new ones I'd never tried (savory chestnut jelly? Weird but delicious). Everyone at the table got a different style of bibimbap and ate until we could eat no more. I would describe it as a symphony of flavors, and if you want intense spice the sauce that comes on the side will be your new friend. I would have been willing to pay premium prices for top notch food delivered in no time flat, but the bill that came at the end was amazingly reasonable. This seems like the kind of place with a nice range from affordable to splurge-y, depending on what you're in the mood for. The servers were not only speedy, but welcoming and friendly and happy to answer our questions. AYCE might not be my first choice for Korean anymore now that I know Modoo exists.“

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

“Kochi Pocha is a great spot for Korean food in Lynnwood. The food is delicious, with plenty of tasty options to choose from. One of the best things is that they’re open late, making it a perfect place for a late-night meal or snack. Friendly atmosphere, good food, and convenient hours—I’ll definitely be back!“

“I visited this food court specifically for its unique bowl shape. However, it exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the noodles were delicious. There were also large chunks of meat and seafood. I’ll definitely be back!“

“I had a nice experience at Korean Bbq here. I think there was a nice selection of meat and other side dishes. Clean location. Almost all of the fried items were not restocked the entire time of our visit. We were a group and didn’t get a lot of service from the wait staff, water refills, clearing of the table etc. I definitely will come back because it was pretty pretty good.“

“It was too late to cook dinner so we came here as an afterthought. We enjoyed delicious soondubu full of umami and tasty banchan at a reasonable price. I usually take home leftovers but it was so good that I couldn't stop eating it all. The imo-sajangnim with the silver hair was very nice to us too.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Seriously amazing, seriously good, best burger I have had in a hot minute. The bun bread is just crispy enough. I love this. The milkshakes comes with one of the largest straws you can get, and the fruit chunks and ice cream combo is phenomenal. I will be back, need to try everything now.“

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

“If you're looking for a food court style meal, this is not it. But, if you want food like there is a Korean grandma in the back making you what she'd make for her own family, you've found it!

I've been going here for years. It is almost required when I go to H mart. I love all of their soft tofu soups. Treat yourself and get the purple rice!“

“After god created the heavens and Earth, separated the seas and skies, gathered the waters and grew the vegetation, on the seventh day he rested. Then on the eighth, he realized all the vegetation wasn’t enough to satisfy his hunger, so he created Tig Kitchen and Bar. From the luxurious lychee shots, to the mouthwatering Rosé Tteok-Bokki, there’s not a single bad item on the menu.“

“Our family’s favorite Korean restaurant in WA. The food is on point everytime with great bone broth for all the soups and Galbijjim and Bossam are huge for the price. I recommend Gamjatang for spicy soup lovers. We always feel like at home with their awesome service and their hospitality.“

“First time here. We had spicy chicken breast teriyaki, regular chicken teriyaki, sautéed veggies, general tso's chicken, and gyoza to sample a few things. EVERTHING we had was beyond delicious. My husband said it was his favorite General tso's and it ruined him for everywhere else. I absolutely loved the spicy chicken breast and dauteed veggies. I will absolutely be back!! 10 out of 10 for sure.“

“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!“

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

“Amazing! In this economy you couldn't ask for a better restaurant! The food is DELICIOUS and the prices are incredible. The portion sizes are very generous so bring a friend and your appetite. I've been coming here for over 10+ years and I still enjoy the food like it's the first time. My favorites are seafood jajangmyeon, chicken wings and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). I LOVE that the sweet and sour pork (or chicken) doesn't have red dye in it. The seafood jajangmyeon is packed full of flavor. Definitely give this restaurant a try next time you want don't want to takeout or a sit-down meal.“

“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!“

“Their food is delicious and I missed it when I moved to Japan. So the first thing I did when I moved back was get my usual. The lady at the register was helpful and understood what I needed (as far as pointing out the dish I described).
Everything was fine until I went home and noticed a dish missing. I immediately drove back and the same lady that took the order suddenly didn’t know what I was talking about and gave me a “HUH?” I know they’re Korean and they come off a bit strong but she didn’t even apologize afterwards. One of the cook (maybe the owner) came over and explained the situation and said she’ll cook me a new one because apparently, original cashier lady swapped my order with someone else’s. She just brushed me off and the other lady was respectful so I gave it 3 stars. Otherwise I would’ve rated it 5.“

“this is honestly my favorite teriyaki spot ever. me and my boyfriend go here all the time, it’s our go-to place when we just want something good and comforting. the food is always sooo good, like consistently, never disappoints.

the guy who works there is always so nice and friendly, every time we come in he somehow puts us in a better mood. just super sweet energy.

this time we got the spicy pork bulgogi (on the photo) and it was so good, but honestly everything we’ve tried here so far has been perfect. we love it!“

“we order from them on Uber Eats delivery a lot and it’s always great quality! They forgot a bag of ours and one of the workers personally drove it out to us with complimentary soda. Amazing service. This will be our #1 teriyaki spot from now on.“

“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.“

“Food is awesome!! I usually order the pork belly meat combo set with soojoo or a casserole (jungol). I call Ka Won “my relaxing place”. I have been coming here for over 30 years. With any Korean restaurant, when busy, you are going to wait a bit. So do what I do, get there around 11 for lunch and before 5 or after 7 for dinner and you will always get 5+ star service.“

“love the mala hot! if you like spicy chicken this is one of the greatest hidden gems of Federal Way. a bit pricey at regular price, but they are always running specials. Definitely my go-to place for spicy chicken anywhere between Seattle and Tacoma.“
