25 Best Korean Restaurants in Lynnwood

“This place gets packed with dine-in and takeout during dinner time so try to plan ahead and please understand they’re working as quickly as possible. Saturday is their busiest day so please keep this in mind.

Great food. Good quick customer service.“

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

“First time here and will surely come back, staff are very friendly, food is great and the place is very clean.“

“The service here was excellent and the staff were very attentive. As for the food, it’s clearly high quality, but it has a very distinct style. Unlike the 'Westernized' Korean dishes or the specific style of soup I’m accustomed to, this felt much more like authentic home-style cooking. The fact that the restaurant is consistently packed with Korean patrons suggests they are doing something very right. While the flavor profile wasn't quite what I personally prefer, I can certainly appreciate the authenticity and the effort put into the meal. Worth a visit if you are looking for a genuine, homelike dining experience.“

“It was my first time trying grilled intestines like this, and I was honestly a little worried it might have a strong smell, but they cleaned and prepared it really well. When the edges get slightly crispy and charred, it smells amazing, while the inside still stays soft and chewy. It tastes really good with grilled garlic.

The mushrooms were also really good after soaking up all the meat juices from the grill. The yukhoe was easier to eat than I expected too — once mixed with the egg yolk, the texture became really smooth and rich without feeling too heavy.

The atmosphere of the restaurant also felt really cozy, kind of like those small Korean restaurants in K-dramas. The lighting was nice and it wasn’t too loud, so it was a good place to slowly eat and chat with friends at night.“

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

“If you have not tried this gem, you need to. Not only is it well priced but it is super filling and a great experience. The employees are super nice and helpful and there are so many things to try. I got the half cheese half hotdog covered in potatoes. It was a full meal on a stick!!! I will be going back!“

“Modoo is hands down the best Korean restaurant in town! The food is consistently delicious, authentic, and beautifully prepared. Every dish we’ve tried has been outstanding.

What really sets this place apart is the service. Every waiter and waitress is incredibly helpful, friendly, and genuinely considerate. They always make us feel welcome and go out of their way to ensure we have a great dining experience.

The combination of amazing food, warm hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere keeps us coming back. Highly recommended to anyone looking for excellent Korean food!“

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

“I visited this food court specifically for its unique bowl shape. However, it exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly friendly, and the noodles were delicious. There were also large chunks of meat and seafood. I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“Ommmmmmmggggg first time here and the place is amazing 👏🏾. Love the vibe, yanki to the core. But I was hurt 😞 to see the cheese katsu gone, I definitely would return just to see it back on the menu. 10/10“

“Amazing! In this economy you couldn't ask for a better restaurant! The food is DELICIOUS and the prices are incredible. The portion sizes are very generous so bring a friend and your appetite. I've been coming here for over 10+ years and I still enjoy the food like it's the first time. My favorites are seafood jajangmyeon, chicken wings and tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). I LOVE that the sweet and sour pork (or chicken) doesn't have red dye in it. The seafood jajangmyeon is packed full of flavor. Definitely give this restaurant a try next time you want don't want to takeout or a sit-down meal.“

“Unassuming and tucked inside a korean grocery stores food court, cho dang tofu had some surprisingly fantastic food that comes with your personal stone pot rice and banchan that tasted fresh and high quality. The kimchi tofu soup was a standout with its rich aged kimchi flavor, a rarity even in the most authentic korean restaurants.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“If you're looking for a food court style meal, this is not it. But, if you want food like there is a Korean grandma in the back making you what she'd make for her own family, you've found it!

I've been going here for years. It is almost required when I go to H mart. I love all of their soft tofu soups. Treat yourself and get the purple rice!“

“Being Korean-American I always crave authentic and great Korean food. This restaurant was introduced to me by my Mom. We go here almost weekly and I always look forward to. The Korean food here is authentic, flavorful, and so good! We normally order fish egg soup, fried fish, and spicy squid. The banchan is also delicious. The service is great too! I can’t wait to eat here again soon! Try it out for yourself!“

“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!“

“Sam Oh Jung is one of our favorite restaurants to visit with family. The atmosphere is so warm, welcoming, and family friendly, which makes every meal there feel comfortable and enjoyable. The food is always memorable, especially the kimchi pancake, which is absolutely delicious with the perfect balance of crispiness and flavor. We also love the summer noodles dish — so refreshing, flavorful, and perfect for a lighter meal. The sole dish was another standout, cooked beautifully and full of amazing taste. Everything we’ve tried has been excellent, and the overall experience keeps us coming back. Highly recommend Sam Oh Jung to anyone looking for delicious food and a welcoming place to enjoy it with loved ones.“

“Their food is delicious and I missed it when I moved to Japan. So the first thing I did when I moved back was get my usual. The lady at the register was helpful and understood what I needed (as far as pointing out the dish I described).
Everything was fine until I went home and noticed a dish missing. I immediately drove back and the same lady that took the order suddenly didn’t know what I was talking about and gave me a “HUH?” I know they’re Korean and they come off a bit strong but she didn’t even apologize afterwards. One of the cook (maybe the owner) came over and explained the situation and said she’ll cook me a new one because apparently, original cashier lady swapped my order with someone else’s. She just brushed me off and the other lady was respectful so I gave it 3 stars. Otherwise I would’ve rated it 5.“

“No joke it's one of the best valued AYCE KBBQ around the area. We usually go to the Shoreline location, but the Lynnwood location felt even better in comparison, as there's much more appetizer and banchan options, and it's by order using a tablet instead of buffet style. We got the $32 and honestly the food selection was already more than enough.

Here are a few plus:
- Meat is just right, not too fat and not too lean.
- Thin sliced meat are frozen when brought over
- More banchan selections and tast better than shoreline store
- Naengmyeon being available as an alternative to rice is a huge plus
- Fried gyoza and chicken wings are piping hot when served.
- service is fantastic“

“Fantastic atmosphere, excellent food, wonderful service! So much food and so much fun! All of the sides we got were delicious and cooking the meat yourself makes it all the more satisfying. Their setup makes cooking the meat very easy. All the grills going at dinnertime makes the place feel festive and homey. Absolutely recommend!!“

“love the mala hot! if you like spicy chicken this is one of the greatest hidden gems of Federal Way. a bit pricey at regular price, but they are always running specials. Definitely my go-to place for spicy chicken anywhere between Seattle and Tacoma.“
