11 Best Korean Restaurants in Lakewood

“Delicious food with great service.“

“Excellent. Might be the best korean soup restaurant in Tacoma.

Clean. Clean utensils. Clean restrooms. Clean air. Clean water. This is one of the few Asian restaurants that are clean.
Courteous staff who serviced us very quickly.
Prices are fair.
Menu was an easy to navigate one pager with no grease to paste your fingers.
Tasteful music selection. Noise level isn't an issue for casual intimate convos.

Both kimchis are excellent. Comparable to hmart quality. Spicy beef soup were rich.

The only criticism I have is with the outside design. The pictures on the windows kinda made me hesitate to go in since I couldn't peek inside. However, once you're inside, it's a nice feeling to be insulated from the outside with the tinted windows.

This is a regular spot to keep going to.

Edit: Went another time bringing my family, but noticed less meat than the first time we came. Might have inconsistent portioning.“

“The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We came in for an early dinner but by the time we left the place was packed! Ppl clearly love this hidden gem!“

“Everything was exceptional! Wonderful restaurant“

“Love to eat there spicy chicken feet and mackchang!!!
My son(7years old) also love this restaurant because of pork belly and cold noodles.
They are very kind to children and providing small portion of soup and rice for small kids. Love to hang out with my friends there!!!
Their corn cheese is very 👍.“

“I had been coming here for years with my family, and it is a very cozy spot for some delicious and authentic Korean food. The tteokbboki is probably some of the best I had in Lakewood and the yakisoba was so good I ate the whole plate. I came on the last day before the owner was going to close the restaurant, and it was a good meal. Sad to see samwon go though 🥹“

“Absolutely love this place!!! The chef fulfilled a personal request for an item not listed on the menu with no hesitation and it came out perfectly💓 the staff is wonderfully kind and patient, and everything was so clean!!!“

“As I walked in I was hit with a smell of comfort and good food; the place reminded me of the shops and restaurants near my hometown in Texas. The food was just lovely and the atmosphere was so pleasant and relaxing. I can’t wait to come here again!“

“We arrived at The Grill with a large group of 11 adults and 4 children. They had us seated and the grills started, with our first meat choices within 5 minutes. The food was delicous, fresh cuts of savory meats served with tasty side dishes. Even better than the food was the service! We were treated like family, laughing, joking and hugging when we left. I highly recommend stopping by this fantastic Korean BBQ spot on your next outing! Thank you to The Grill for a wonderful experience! We will be back soon!“

“This is hands down our favorite Korean restaurant! Love the Korean pancakes, the honey garlic chicken is my favorite & the owners are so sweet and the food is amazing & consistent flavor wise every time we come! Also recommend the mango soju ❤️“

“This is inside Paldo Market in Lakewood on South Tacoma Way in the food court section. The food has always been very good here. However, prices may seem a little high due increases in food cost, labor, rent, business taxes.
I enjoy (not pictured) spicy fried chicken wings ($24 + tax). Their spicy seafood noodle soup is a good choice also. This is a place to enjoy a good lunch.“
