28 Best Korean Restaurants in Federal Way

“The server came at the end staring at all the pots / bowl absolutely cleaned out — that’s how much we loved the food here. The surprising standout dish was the spicy sashimi cold noodle… what a refreshing dish for the summer and they’re very generous with the sashimi serving. Will definitely come back.“

“Cold spicy noodles (bibim nengmyun), beef soup (sulungtang), and hangover soup (wooguogi hwejang guk) were all very delicious!

Kimchi was on the sweeter side but refreshing to accommodate the soups.

Service was fast and friendly.“

“Food was really good. Only a older couple & family were inside around noon so wasn't busy on a Saturday.

I forgot what my bowl was but it was the chicken teriyaki I believe, while my sister got the beef teriyaki bowl that included an egg. We got drinks, she got a strawberry refresher drink & mine was the berry mix puree with soda which was interestingly good. It's an underrated location, so check it out before it gets busy & popular!“

“Very authentic jjamppong loaded with mussels, squid and shrimp, with bouncy noodles in rich broth. Their bowls are HUGE! Amazing value, especially if you go during lunchtime for their lunch specials. $9.99 for jjajangmyeon and $11.99 for jjamppong, Tuesday through Friday, 11 AM to 2 PM. What a hidden gem!“

“The best in town! Their Jjajangmyunand Jjampong is the best! And the amount for the price… I always roll out of this place! Service is great and the atmosphere is welcoming. Today I picked up some jelly fish salad ?! lol and seafood noodle soup…it was well packed and as always, delicious! I highly recommend this place!“

“the best lunch I've had in a while.“

“Food is great and the service is excellent. We just came back from a long trip so my family was pretty hungry but we remembered the few times we’ve eaten here before and were craving Korean food so glad we stopped here. We will be back for sure.“

“We tried this place for the first time today and are very satisfied! We ordered the hangover soup and the bossam. They were both super delicious! Loved the sides too. The service was excellent. We are glad we’ve found this place and look forward to dining here again!“

“First time eating here. Cute little shop with lots of delicious looking meal options. We ended up getting meat lovers fries ( choose both meats, it was delicious), 2 dumpling plates. One hot flavored mandu,( nice and hot, covered in sauce but I wanted more salt, smaller in size and more crunch), the other was corn cheese mandu,( favorite of the two, more crunch and it would have been perfect). Server was nice, brought us ice for our canned soda. I'd definitely eat here again.“

My Korean friend says this place has the best cold noodles and Mandoo in Seattle/ king county. I would agree.“

“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“

“My absolute favorite place for bossam!! The variety kimchi that comes with this dish is also amazing!!

It can get pretty crowded on Fridays and weekends. It’s best to come during a weekday to get seats. Their home made rice wine is also so good! I highly recommend this place“

“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.“

“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.“

“Went there for lunch and got the short rib combo and dumplings. Loved it and will be going back. Everything tasted fresh. The kimchi pork jjigae was perfect, I was so stuffed I couldn't finish it. The banchan was also super fresh. They were busy but they busted ass getting food out hot. Perfect lunch for someone by themselves. I bought the kimbap for dinner and it was so good, much better than the hmart one. Got to go try their fried chicken next.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“food was goodsrvice was good too!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Seriously some of the best service Ive ever had in a Korean restaurant! Dakgalbi was spot on with the spice and sweetness balance with a good variety of vegetables, chicken and rice cakes. I really liked my korean pear cocktail and has a great selection of korean beverages. The owner and the young gentleman were both super kind and attentive.

I used to go here 10 years ago in my early 20s and it's been around since I was in grade school. Over time, the place improved greatly with the same cozy ambiance. There's a good reason for their longevity of business.“

“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!“
