“Best place to eat yourself full!“

“1st time I experienced this place. OMG .we already fallen love with thir food and service 😍 meal we pay is worthier than expected. Kind and friendly service also attracts the people. What ever pictures you see in this website is really true. Once you step in you'll understand and experienced what I'm saying. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I hope they'll never stop this service forever. Thank you 🙏“

“I tried this place for the first time tonight and it was absolutely incredible!! Chicken was just amazing and the pickled radish is an awesome accent! will def be back soon!“

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

“So happy a dedicated jokbal/bossam restaurant opened. The jokbal I ordered was delicious, with the proper fragrance and seasoningThe single serving was huge, more than enough for two people. Three people would satisfied with extra lettuce, garlic, shrimp sauce, and samjang. They didn’t try to deceive with a lot of bones. Service is fast, packaging was somewhat eco friendly with paper instead of plastic.“

“Discovered this cafe online from here in Aotearoa New Zealand. The warm glow emanating from the collective superlatives in these reviews has even managed to momentarily brighten our antipodean winter solstice today. Menu photos alone are enough to satisfy at this distance.“

“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.“

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

“I was recently traveling in South Korea and was craving the same quality of food that I ate while there. Jung’s has an amazing banchan selection! I called and ordered kimbap and it was ready when I arrived. Everything was delicious. The staff were so friendly and helpful.“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

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

“I’ve never had chicken teriyaki this delicious in Seattle.!!!

It has a nice smoky flavor, and the sauce is absolutely amazing.
It’s the kind of taste that makes you crave it again after just one bite, so I wanted to share and leave a review.

Highly recommended! 👍🏼😍👍🏼“

“The food is great. I called on my lunch to order . Multiple times got hung up on. Pick up then hang up. Then I go in to order and the kid taking orders did the same thing when people called. Not even very busy and he’s hanging up on customers calling to place an order. not cool. Might wanna let him know. But the place is great never had food I didn’t like“

“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 visit this restaurant regularly and each time, the staff treats us to an excellent meal. The atmosphere is relaxing, with seating spread out such that family gatherings and solo/duo diners are accomodated well. Each time we are treated to beautifully plated banchan which explore new flavors. Not knowing whats in store for us is a delight and is a pull which keeps me and my family coming back to see what is new. This is a Bothell gem, with owners who clearly care about sharing their culinary creations with guests like they are part of the family.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Their Korean-inspired Asian fusion burritos are outstanding! I’ve tried almost all of them, but the Flaming Boar is probably my favorite. Fair warning: these burritos are big—enough to share or it will likely become two meals for you! Either way you win.“

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

“So delicious! I have tried the fried chicken, the spicy chicken sandwich, and the bulgogi bowl. All were made to order, flavorful, with great texture! Their chicken sandwich is particularly addictive, with a spicy sauce, light and crispy chicken, and tasty slaw. Writing this is making me hungry!“

“Bothell’s Ta Joia isn’t your sleepy strip-mall filler—it’s a technicolor veggie parade disguised as dinner. I ordered bibimbop, spring rolls, and the feijoada bowl, which felt like a samba in a rice bowl. It’s the rare spot where “eating your vegetables” is less a chore and more a sly dare. Flavor bombs everywhere, and suddenly I’m craving greens I never cared about. That’s Bothell magic.“

“A very solid place for good traditional Korean soups. I had the spicy beef soup and was very happy. The place is not trendy and looked to attract a very local crowd. Prices were inline with other Korean restaurants. I can't wait to go back and try some of the other soup selections.“

“This is my favorite restaurant! Always amazing food and service!“

““I recently visited a Korean restaurant in Edmonds and was absolutely delighted! The atmosphere was very cozy, and the service was top-notch. I especially loved the fresh dumplings – they were incredibly delicious! I will definitely be coming back again!”“

“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.“

“Seriously, I've never had a better server. She memorized our 5 orders with drinks and appetizers perfectly. She checked-in just the right amount and brought us stuff before we even knew we needed it. Amazing customer service is still alive and well here. The food was amazing too. The chicken is wonderful the sides were unique and tasty as were the drinks. I brought family from out of town and they were beyond impressed. 5 stars deserves 10 stars.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Always exceptional food and service! At least a monthly visit. if not more. Clean and generous portions.“

“Seriously amazing, seriously good, best burger I have had in a hot minute. The bun bread is just crispy enough. I love this. The milkshakes comes with one of the largest straws you can get, and the fruit chunks and ice cream combo is phenomenal. I will be back, need to try everything now.“

“Good little place to drop in if you're craving Korean. Side dishes were lovely and refilled often and the food we ordered was authentic and tasty. Luckily it wasnt busy when we went and they seated our large-ish party of 7 immediately. Nice little hidden gem.“

“This place is honestly my favorite Korean restaurant! I’ve been here so many times and it never disappoints. The service is always super friendly, portions are big, and they bring out so many tasty side dishes. Everything feels fresh and full of flavor. I always leave happy and full. Definitely one of the best spots around for Korean food!“

“best meal while in Seattle area.“

“Highly recommend for lunch time! We had the all you can eat lunch, just $25 per person. It is so fresh! A huge variety of sides and the kitchen and seawead where so delicious. The meat was especially fresh and delicious, there was a huge variety. We had great service and they even accommodated our little. We will definitely be coming back!“

“amazing food, fantastic service! taste explosion of goodness! a MUST visit place!“

“Perfectly okay Korean restaurant. Amongst all the dishes I ordered what stands out most is Grilled mackerels. They serve 3 pieces instead of usual two and looks like there were pan fried which is hard to replicate at home. They serve tons of banchans but in my opinion it is a waste and they should just focus on a few good banchans.“

“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“

“Wonderful food and very quick!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Genuinely the BEST chicken katsu I've ever had! I ordered online and had to call the restaurant back just to tell them how fantastic it was! Perfectly tender and juicy chicken, and the breading was so light and crispy. Absolutely recommend this! It was a perfect lunch to tie me over for my 12hr shift! Thank you guys! Can't wait to try your other options. I'll absolutely be back!“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Absolutely phenomenal food and customer service is impeccable every single time. They pack your food so nicely and always punch a hole in the takeout boxes so your food doesn't get all condensationey and gross! Love this place so much.“

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