25 Best Korean Restaurants in Lynnwood

“This is my go-to teriyaki spot! I usually get the chicken teriyaki, and it’s always delicious and grilled perfectly. The portions are generous, and the food is consistently fresh and satisfying. The owner is absolutely wonderful—she’s so kind, personable, and always makes you feel welcome. If you’re looking for a great teriyaki place, I highly recommend this spot. Definitely one of my favorites!“

“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 seolleongtang here feels like a warm touch of the heart—comforting, authentic, and full of that homemade feeling. The kimchi and radish dishes also taste homemade, which adds another layer of authenticity to the experience.

The menu is quite small, but that’s understandable given the restaurant’s focus on seolleongtang. And honestly, they do what they do very well. The seafood pancake was jeeeeeeeeez delicious. It had a beautiful crispness, was cooked to perfection, and had plenty of seafood spread throughout instead of just a few pieces here and there.

One thing I almost forgot to mention: don’t skip the wasabi with the sauce on the side for the seolleongtang. Adding it to the meat takes the flavor up another notch and really hits the spot.

The interior is modern, clean, and cool. The restaurant itself is also quite spacious and has plenty of seating, so it can accommodate a large number of guests without feeling overly cramped.

The only area that felt inconsistent was the service. It wasn’t that the staff were rude, but the level of attentiveness varied quite a bit. The gentleman with glasses was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always seemed to be on top of everything. He really stood out and made us feel welcomed. On the other hand, the older lady seemed less engaged and gave the impression that she didn’t really want to be there. She still provided the necessary service, but her demeanor made us feel like we were bothering her if we needed anything, so naturally, we found ourselves waiting for the gentleman with glasses instead.

Overall, the food is what makes this place worth visiting. The seolleongtang is comforting and authentic, the homemade-style kimchi and radish are a great touch, and that seafood pancake is something I would definitely order again. With a little more consistency in the service, this could be an even stronger experience.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“I really enjoyed my visit to Modoo. The food was flavorful, fresh, and felt very authentic, with generous portions that are perfect for sharing. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a lively atmosphere with a good mix of Korean and other Asian customers. 👍 It’s easy to see why this place is so popular in the Lynnwood area. Definitely a spot I’d come back to and recommend to anyone looking for good Korean food. 🙌“

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

“HUGE PORTION, AFFORDABLE PRICE. I usually get combo B, black bean noodles with sweet n sour pork. Noodles is so good with the sauce!! Pork is crispy but the sauce a bit too sweet. Only 1 lady work in the front but she is very friendly. Hard to find a cheap place like this“

“I’ve frequented here for the last three years or so and always have a wonderful experience, they’re kind and if i eat in the lady who is always working there will make some small conversation with me. I love the dumpling tofu soup/ tofu soup! i get one or the other every time and it’s consistent and delicious. The sides provided are also always top notch and i think if i could just order those i’d be fulfilled still.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Honestly, they have better Korean food than some actual Korean restaurants nearby! Their soft tofu soup and bulgogi are both really good. Everything tastes authentic and flavorful. Definitely worth checking out if you’re craving Korean food.“

“We tried the all-you-can-eat Korean barbecue at New Gangnam BBQ and had a good experience. Orders are placed through a tablet at the table. Our server asked us to select everything we wanted first and submit it together rather than ordering just a few items at a time.

All the banchan, including the seasoned vegetables, were delicious. We especially enjoyed the marinated LA style Galbi (short ribs), spicy pork, pork belly, shrimp, and scallops. The staff were friendly, and the food was great overall.“

“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.“
