“We ordered the Bulgogi, Kalbi and chicken wings, everything was delicious. Even the banchan was so yummy! Service was excellent! Just a perfect little jewel in Kent!“

“Great service, delicious, and fun for the whole family! Was super exciting to have Korean Bbq in Kent! Will definitely be going back and highly recommend!“

“Very good soups and best tendon gukbap and super tasty kimchi. Seafood pancakes aren’t as good, but that’s what I get for ordering that at a soup house I guess. Highly recommended! Super busy and we had to wait quite a while for a table but the food came fast once ordered and it was worth the wait. Also, the wait staff was very nice, especially the younger one.“

“I’ve come here multiple times, and it’s probably my favorite Korean spot in Federal Way—maybe even in all of Washington. The sullang tang is always on point. It has a generous portion of beef, and the soup is clean, rich, and really comforting.

The side dishes are great and pair perfectly with the soup, and the rice is always well cooked. I also really like the steamed dumplings—they taste homemade, are well seasoned, and are excellent.

I highly recommend this place.“

“Amazing place! Food is great and staff is absolutely Top notch great customer service!“

“I went to dinner with my family here. It’s absolutely amazing experience. We got the beef feast large size. The meat quality is great. The sides are fresh. Their servers are very nice and friendly. Our family are all very satisfied and will for sure come back again!!“

“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!“

“Ahram is hands-down one of the best Korean restaurants I’ve visited in Washington! The authenticity shines through in every dish. The Yangnyeom Gaejang(spicy crab) was phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We also tried the Bossam and meat pancake, and every piece of meat was incredibly tender and juicy. The side dishes were fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented, adding the perfect finishing touch to the meal. Truly a top-notch experience for anyone craving authentic Korean flavors.“

“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.“

“This is hands down the best Korean-Chinese restaurant I’ve tried in Washington. Everything was delicious, and the flavors were spot on. Highly recommended.

They’re also currently offering a Jajangmyeon buy-one-get-one-free“

“This is my favorite Korean restaurant to eat in Federal Way. I always have to come and eat here when I’m visiting my family. My favorite thing to eat is the Soondae Guk. Also, there Gamjatang is delicious too! Can’t wait to come back and eat here!“

“The food was incredible! I got the Kimchi fries with beef bolgogi. It was so good! I highly recommend this dish! You have order your food on a computer screen, which was lame and impersonal, so it looses point for service, but that's nitpicking at best. I highly recommend this place!“

“Love their KBBQ & service“

“Food was fantastic. Service was great ample parking. We had a smorgasbord of Korean food. I’m not gonna try to pronounce any of it. Just look at the pictures you can ask for more side dishes if need be I had the short ribs and they were excellent.“

“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“

“The main dish Pork BoSsam was good. It may be the way the kimchi was made, but it lack a certain deep flavor and tange that I would rather prefer

The some of the side dishes are good, but some of the pickled dished tasted off. The Bean sprouts dish have any hint of flavor, like sesame and garlic that makes banchan.

If you prefer lighter flavors then this place is for you.“

“We enjoyed the food and the ambience at Daebak Wang Mandoo. The beauty of this place lies in its simple yet elegant ambience. The food was great, The dumplings are soft and exquisite. The roasted Pork dumplings left us asking for more. IWe have tried the sea food noodle soup, which was very very tasty, the perfectly cooked shrimp and calms were very juciy.
I highly recommed this restaurent as a go to place for tasty korean food“

“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.“

“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“

“I was pleasantly surprised with how the Budae Jigae tasted. It was not salty unlike other Korean Restaurants in the area. The atmosphere reminded me of how a typical South Korean eatery was like when I lived in South Korea (Suwon-Si). Will come back and try the spare ribs next week! Great service as well. The owner was also kind, caring, and Ippo as well!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“hubby and I were in from Indy and we had bacon burger and Hawaiian burger. pretty tasty.“

“A new up coming restaurant in burien just five minutes from the seatac airport and 15 minutes outside of seattle. Its my second time in here now and I got to say each time ive came in here I was met with a warm welcome as if I were greeted by a old friend, the restaurant is very clean with tables and chairs that can fit possibly 20-25 people dining in. The restaurant plays current radio hits which is nice when youre unwinding and waiting for your meal. I ordered the yangyeom chicken and the cheese & herb shake fries as a meal and comes with a drink. The shake fries were 10/10 the fries were crisp and soft to the bite and they did not skip on the portions I had a whole bag of fries I finished in one sitting. Now the chicken was absolutely delicious crisp, crunchy, and tender I could eat it without any sauces but the sauce did add a whole level of flavor truly delicious. Ill be definitely stopping by often for more.“

“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.“

“Love the place at first , don’t go now. Small portions and prices increase Good bye“

“food was goodsrvice was good too!“

“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“

“This was the perfect stop after picking up my folks from the airport. It was a chilly day and pho sounded good. Their broth was clean and good, not too salty or oily. Noodles were cooked well, not overdone and mushy. They have a fresh veggie bar that you could pick your veggies to go into your pho. This was a huge plus for me. The place was clean, well lit, and service was great, with staff being kind and friendly.“

“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.“

“The owners are truly kind, grateful people. The food is fresh- I had a Poke bowl with Salmon and avocado, and it was FULL of good flavor. My kids were crazy about the BBQ Chicken- awesome portions and fantastic sweet/smoky flavor! My wife tried the Yakisoba, and loved all the vegetables. Very solid value for the buck- this is a great place to check out. Glad we made the drive from Woodinville!“

“We found this place on a whim and it had immediately become a favorite spot for the vibe, the food, and the people. It's a great spot for a late night stop, drinks, or whatever you might want. Our go to has been cheese corn and soju cocktails, but there is such a variety to try.“

“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.“

“One of the best food I have ever tried every single thing on the menu is delicious i love the burger and the pho as well I have tired almost everything and never been disappointed and the owner she’s so sweet and kind man I haven’t seen a such good person ever like her she always treats everyone good thank you so much for the excellent food and service will always come here.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“All very delectable DIY AYCE (all you can eat) Korean barbecue plus copious refillable sides. Personal faves are the spicy tofu soup and beef spare ribs (shown). Note however the restaurant has recently come under NEW management. The prices are the same but take note they NO longer accept Groupons, which is unfortunate if you had purchased some prior. Perhaps they will offer a grand reopening special if they know what's good for their customer base. Came today to retrieve a hat I had left on my last visit, but 'twas nowhere to be found, possibly lost in the reshuffle. Was told they be closed for a few days circa 1/20/2026 to get things refurbished. Will try them again once the dust settles, and so may you.“

“The minute you walk in, the atmosphere is so alive with the music, TV and friendly welcome form the staff. The place is visually and smells clean. They are so quick in getting my order out. Only 15 minutes from the time I ordered. Food tastes great with hefty portions. Great place to enjoy Teriyaki ,Chinese and Korean cuisine.“

“Excellent food here.Kung pao chicken was fried perfectly and a great combination of sweet and spicy. Just like my Chinese mother in law makes.Chicken teriyaki has a grilled taste and was also excellent.Portions are large.Extra teriyaki sauce at the table, so you can add extra sauce and flavor.The egg roll was massive and delicious.The kids meal is also an excellent value and delicious.“

“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!“

“I got the 4 meat right before selection, which I recommend. Somebody, knows what they are doing..I would give this place an A+, but I'm giving it an A. I give it an A because, I did not order avBobo drink. Or, one of those drinks I kept staring at posted on the door. As I ordered take out..The service and atmosphere was good 👍...No complaint..very attentive, inviting, judgement free...I stepped into the door, after 3 other people and they treated me, like everybody else..so kind. Thank you.“
