“this place is so 🤌🤌🔥🔥🔥 should have a line out the door. hugeeee portions and wow. so good! bravo🫵🫵“

“I go to Jang An at least once a month. It's my ultimate comfort meal. My favorite is clear noodles with beef tongue, but my husband likes the wheat noodles with mixed meat. You can't go wrong with either choice. It's very filling with the complementary rice and kimchi. Another of my favorite is the dumplings: you can dip in the sauce but it's extra good in the broth. Love that the staff gives you free hot tea. Love the staff here as well: they're hardworking and attentive. Please stay in business forever.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“In an over saturated market of Korean food, Gui Gui is our favorite K BBQ place in the area. The meat is quality, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere feels like you are part of their family. The side dishes are fresh and there is often an option for purple rice, not just white. We highly recommend this hole-in-the-wall treasure.“

“This Korean-style Chinese food is the best I've had in ages.

Just a heads-up about the location. This spot is actually inside G-Mart, like a food court. I want everyone to know so you don't go looking for it outside and turn back. The owner was super welcoming and suggested their popular dishes. We got Jjajangmyeon, Jjambbong, and Gganpoonggi. Everything was so good. I wish I'd found this place sooner.“

“This is a local Korean spot in Lynnwood. We tried the bossam (steamed pork) - I really liked how they bring out the meat and you cook it at your table. The pork was sliced thickly and it tasted great with the fresh garlic and bean paste.

Also tried the galbi tang. The portion size was good - there were 3 large pieces of galbi in the soup.

I really liked the rice here. While it’s the classic Korean purple and white rice, it was cooked really well. It had a nice, chewy texture to it. I also liked the banchan here too - pretty standard, but it tasted fresh and you can also for refills.

Would recommend making a trip out here for the food!“

“You know at first I wasn't sure what to expect when I came here late night with a friend for some grub. This place was great. Really chill atmosphere, not loud like a bar, and great food. Crispy juicy savory goodness. Though things could have been spicier.“

“Ok. This place blew me away with its food quality. Sitting at the corner in a Korean Mart, I didn't expect the food could be this good. I paid $17+tax for the pork soon tofu soup. The owner actually cooked the rice in a small hot pot and delivered those freshly cooked dishes right to my table. I chose the mixed grains rice, and it was steamy hot, but sweet and moist. Can't complain about anything with this quality at such a reasonable price.
Thank you.
I REALLY ENJOYED YOUR FOOD.“

“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“

“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.“

“New Seoul Korean Restaurant is situated at the intersection of Lynnwood, Mukilteo, and Everett. It had been a long time since my last visit, but when I returned for a weekend lunch, the place was fully packed, clearly a popular spot in the area.

Initially, I thought this restaurant specialized in soondae (Korean blood sausage), but after browsing the menu, I realized they offer a wide variety of Korean dishes. From Korean BBQ and seafood to soups and stews, they seem to have just about everything. As of March 2025, the prices remain reasonable, especially considering inflation and Seattle's market trends.

We ordered the Korean Blood Sausage Soup (#26), Spicy Beef Soup (#32), Spicy Fish Stew, and Unspiced Fish Stew. Typically, spicy fish stews are made with frozen fish, but if you're lucky, you can get a fresh fish version, fortunately, it was available during our visit.

Five different Korean side dishes (banchan) were served, all well-balanced in flavor, not overly sweet or too spicy. A standout feature of this restaurant is the stone-pot rice. You can scoop out the freshly cooked rice first, then pour hot water into the pot to make nurungji (scorched rice), a traditional and comforting finish to the meal.

We enjoyed everything we ordered except for the unspiced fish stew, which didn't quite meet our expectations.

One minor downside was the restaurant's payment policy. We wanted to split the bill, but the cashier politely informed us that they only accept cash or a single credit card payment per transaction. Since only one of us had cash, and not enough to cover the entire bill, one person had to pay with his credit card while the rest of us reimbursed him via Venmo. While this wasn’t a huge issue, it was a slight inconvenience.

Overall, the food and service were great, making it a solid choice for authentic Korean cuisine in the area.“

“The owner was so so sweet when me and my family visited. I’m from LAS VEGAS and this has to be one of the BEST korean food spots I’ve visited. I’m definitely going to miss this place. She has the best kimichi and pickled radish I’ve ever had. And I usually don’t even LIKE pickled radish. The portions are also very generous and you definitely get your money’s worth. She also gave us two extra containers of kimchi when we asked 🫶 Everything was absolutely lovely and I 100% recommend this place!!!“

“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!“

“I was a little skeptical of this place because of it being a food court. Also, there was no line so i thought it would be a terrible decision. The food was actually quite good and the portions were very generous. I would definitely come eat here again!“

“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!“

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

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

“You come here for the food, not the atmosphere. It’s a food court. The flavors and portions are really good. You get a lot for your money which is always nice and on top of that the food is tasty. Traditional flavors, which is a good thing.“

“Similar to their Mill Creek location, the service, food and atmosphere was exactly the same but the sides selection was way less and I didnt particularly like the self service rice compared to their other location serving it in specific rice containers. Other than that, this is a solid choice for good quality and priced KBBQ“

“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.“

“Ka Won has been one of my family’s favorite Korean restaurants for many years—we’ve been coming here since around 2008, and they’ve been open since 2001.
Yes, the waitstaff can get busy at times, but that’s because the restaurant is consistently full. And honestly, the food is well worth the wait.

The variety of banchan (side dishes) is generous and thoughtfully prepared, complementing the meal beautifully. It’s the kind of food that keeps you coming back.

I’ve noticed a number of negative reviews over the years, many of which seem unfair or exaggerated—especially given how long this restaurant has served the community. With so many competitors around, it’s unfortunate to see that kind of behavior.

If you’re looking for authentic Korean food with consistency, depth, and heart, Ka Won remains a solid choice.“
