If you’re in the mood for Korean noodle soup, look no further than Youngwol Noodle. Located in a nondescript strip mall in Federal Way, and family owned for 10+ years, it’s safe to say that their long experience is self evident in the awesome deliciousness coming out of the kitchen. The service is attentive, informative, and warm…an absolute bonus!

This is a true hole in the wall gem. I was delighted to find a Kalguksu spot albeit it was a drive from Ballard. So worth it! The barley rice and pumpkin soup to start were amazing. The side dishes were all stellar. We ordered 3 different entrees and each were delicious!! I’ll be back for sure again next time I’m in Seattle!

Food is clean and service is awesome. Menu is not for the unfamiliar. Too bad it’s in a strip mall and is like all the other places nearby in a shabby space.

I was told this place was "authentic'. I haven't been to Korea--but I imagine authentic is accurate. The food was very flavorful. Mine was boiling hot (literally boiling as served) and though I asked for medium spicy--it was pretty dang spicy.The interior is not fancy. Tables and walls. And the service is only functional. And the prices are a bit steep--18 to 22 for most dishes. But still, I would definitely recommend the place.

Favorite place to go to for Kal-gooksu! We drive all the way from Puyallup just to eat here!

I enjoyed the food a lot and felt very comforting. Did not rate five stars because of the price. I like how different their menu items are compared to other typical Korean restaurants. The pork belly with vegi wraps is full of texture. First time I had sujebi (flour flake soup) and I like how chewy it is. Definitely something I will make at home.

best sujebi noodle soup here. love that they also give you the barley rice and pumpkin soup as sides. the soybean cold noodle is good but i’m not used to the green noodles. it’s also quite pricey than other places for what you get compared to other koran restaurants here..

I have to say this place is more pricey than similar restaurants. It is a nice atmosphere, food was served fast, polite service.

$20 for noodle is highly overpriced even considering the cost hike of ingredients. Disappointed with price. Taste of food is just okay. You would get the better food from other restaurants for what you’d pay here.
It’s a small restaurant but the Sam gae tang was amazing. Also, try the pumpkin porridge. So good. The fresh Kimchi and the barley rice was the best! Going back when I’m in town for some more.

Everything is perfectly seasoned and tastes super fresh. Millet cake with red bean reminds me of my childhood - mildly sweet flavor and mochi-like texture. Definitely will come back for the soy bean noodle soup!

I have been here a long time ago and thought I'm not coming back, but we got curious again and thought ok lets check it out again to see if it's any different now. Maybe it was just my taste buds that day. Nope. Kimchi and noodle texture are everything in a korean noodle house imo. Kimchi was so bland it tasted like eating raw cabbage. Only got 무생채 and cabbage kimchi today. It just felt like even after raising price they're just looking for ways to save money with the food they serve. There was a table of non Koreans next to us trying Korean food and kimchi for the first time and I was embarrassed and worried that theyre going to think this is how kimchi is, no its not supposed to be. I hope they know it does get better than this. I also did not like the noodle texture, very different. Also the pumpkin soup was little pumpkin and a lot of starch. If I go to a restaurant and I feel like I can easily make it better at home, it's definitely not worth the price.

We enjoyed the seafood and spicy brisket noodle. Authentic Korean Kalgooksoo noodle restauant. The server was very friendly and attentive. The fresh kimchi was really good too with the noodle.
