“Delicious! My family enjoyed the good food and good service“

“Super cute place! Was a little nervous coming in due to the outside area but my friends were right there was very good food here for a very reasonable price! We were the only ones in there (we went around 3pm). The lady serving us was very sweet. Will come again!“

“I take my daughter here she likes the moving selection of sushi in every kind you shape and form. There is also a menu for your selection of all items if you want what on menu is more then just sushi. There food is really good so far... staff is great the chefs communicate with you very nice place.“

“As a vegan, I'm always looking for new places to eat, and this place did not disappoint. I had their vegan pho and their hot and spicy tofu. Their tofu was heavenly and the portions large. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, but especially vegans/vegetarians as there are numerous options!“

“The server came at the end staring at all the pots / bowl absolutely cleaned out — that’s how much we loved the food here. The surprising standout dish was the spicy sashimi cold noodle… what a refreshing dish for the summer and they’re very generous with the sashimi serving. Will definitely come back.“

“As a Korean who was born and raised in S.K and I know what authentic Korean Chinese food is like, this place is REAL.
Not only is their food so good, but our waitress Vy was on top of everything. When we went here, it was pretty occupied but she served us so nicely that we didn't have to ask a thing.

I would def come back! If anyone is doubtful about this place, just trust me and enjoy their good food🩷🩷🩷“

“Yi’s Traditional Korean Beef Soup is a spot that focuses on classic Korean comfort food, with its specialty being traditional soups made around a rich, slow-cooked broth. The restaurant has a simple and welcoming atmosphere that matches the type of food it serves. It is the kind of place that feels especially fitting on a colder day when you want something warm, filling, and comforting rather than a complicated meal.

The main reason to visit is the seolleongtang, a traditional Korean beef bone soup that is known for its clean yet deeply satisfying flavor. The broth has a smooth richness that comes from the long cooking process, while the beef adds heartiness to the bowl. One thing that makes the dish stand out is that it arrives relatively simple, allowing you to adjust the seasoning yourself with salt and other condiments to your preference. The radish kimchi and kimchi served alongside are especially important because they add brightness and balance to the mild broth.

The menu also has other solid options if you want to build a larger meal. The handmade dumplings are a good addition, and the seafood pancake is a popular choice for sharing. The portions are generous enough to make it a satisfying meal, and the combination of soup, banchan, and side dishes creates a traditional Korean dining experience.

Service adds to the overall experience, with staff being attentive and helpful when explaining dishes. Whether you are already familiar with Korean food or trying seolleongtang for the first time, the restaurant makes it approachable. Overall, Yi’s Traditional Korean Beef Soup is a great choice for anyone looking for authentic Korean comfort food, especially when you are craving a warm bowl of soup that feels both simple and satisfying.“

“Very authentic jjamppong loaded with mussels, squid and shrimp, with bouncy noodles in rich broth. Their bowls are HUGE! Amazing value, especially if you go during lunchtime for their lunch specials. $9.99 for jjajangmyeon and $11.99 for jjamppong, Tuesday through Friday, 11 AM to 2 PM. What a hidden gem!“

“Tried Bibim Express today and it was such a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and served quickly. You can really taste the quality in every bite, and the portions were generous too. The staff was kind and welcoming, making the whole visit even better. Definitely a great spot if you’re craving delicious Korean food in the area!“

“the best lunch I've had in a while.“

“My wife and I visit here probably 2 times a month give or take. Its the same server everytime and shes super sweet and always helpful. Be patience ladies theres only 1 server.
Food always amazing.
Fried chicken 🔥
Chicken gizzard 🔥
Army stew amazing 👏“

“The food here is delicious and healing! We first visited after a recommendation from another Korean friend. Gamjatang is a favorite whenever I visit Korea and this is the only place I’ve found in North America that makes it so good! My girlfriend got the hangover soup both times and it was also really good. Their soondae and banchan are likewise great and all their food is quite generously portioned.

We visited again with a 40 minute drive and were looking forward to coming back!“

“First time eating here. Cute little shop with lots of delicious looking meal options. We ended up getting meat lovers fries ( choose both meats, it was delicious), 2 dumpling plates. One hot flavored mandu,( nice and hot, covered in sauce but I wanted more salt, smaller in size and more crunch), the other was corn cheese mandu,( favorite of the two, more crunch and it would have been perfect). Server was nice, brought us ice for our canned soda. I'd definitely eat here again.“

“Love their KBBQ & service“

“In a state where Korean food dominates, this place stands out as one of the most delicious spots for Korean BBQ I’ve ever tasted. It’s great for bringing groups of friends or going in solo, fast service yet great in quality and quantity, straight to the point, great food, and great vibes for a great price. 10/10“

“We went there for the dumplings as I’m always looking to find good dumpling places. We had the pork dumplings and kimchi bun and the red beans bun. They all delicious, but I didn’t taste much kimchi flavor in the bun. The red beans filling are smooth, buttery and not too sweet. Also like that they give the broth as drink instead of water. It’s delicious.“

“Prices are similar to other chinese food places in the area. It tasted good and the portions were what to be expected, if not slightly larger, but nothing really stood out. Good customer service and the food came out pretty quick.. I would return if I was in the area, but I wouldn't go out of my way.“

“My absolute favorite place for bossam!! The variety kimchi that comes with this dish is also amazing!!

It can get pretty crowded on Fridays and weekends. It’s best to come during a weekday to get seats. Their home made rice wine is also so good! I highly recommend this place“

“Great dining experience! The service was attentive and the staff regularly checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. The portions of meat including the premium steak were generous, fresh, and flavorful, making the meal well worth it.“

“Seoul Tofu House in Federal Way truly feels like an authentic Korean home-style meal. The food was absolutely delicious, and the generous variety of banchan made the whole experience even better. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and comforting.

The portions are very generous. There were only two of us, and we ordered two main dishes, but we couldn’t finish everything and had to take the leftovers home. You definitely get plenty of food for your order!

This is a great place for anyone looking for authentic Korean food in the Federal Way area. Come hungry—the portions are bigger than you might expect! We really enjoyed our meal and would gladly come back.“

“Ordered takeout while I shopped around HMart. Service was fast and friendly. I got the N1-Black Bean Noodles w/ beef, options are pork,veggie, beef or seafood. Came with pickled radish. Very good. The flavor is so comforting. Very big portion and decent price! Will be back.“

“Amazing family owned restaurant. The service here is phenomenal and so personable. The food I'd delicious and always prepared so well. This has become a favorite of mine recently. Highly recommend.“

“This is a great spot for authentic K hot dogs. As someone born and raised in Korea, I can say the flavors are super legit. The place is a little small for dining in, but the food is delicious and affordable. K hot dogs have become popular with the rise of K culture, so come give them a try you won’t regret it fr!“

“Upon entering, you're met with K-Pop music, along with other Korean aesthetics. The chicken is absolutely phenomenal. Crispy outside, moist meat, and flavorful sauces. Prices are industry standard, so no suprises there. Late hours, plus a bar inside the restaurant make it an excellent stop at the end of the work day, or just for a bite with friends. A recommended visit.“

“I’ve been eating here for so long and there’s a reason why we always come back! Chicken is super fresh, not frozen, well battered and fry to perfection! The flavor is always on point too! Creamy udon can be a hit or miss because sometimes it’s perfect, sometimes too salty. The half and half and the boneless onion cream chicken are my recommendation, as well as the corn cheese! Fish cake soup also good but the broth can be better! Only down point is they don’t do reservations so either you have to come early or it’s gonna be a long wait :(“

“One of the best Korean restaurants in Federal Way. Have been there with both my Mom and husband recently.“

“We have been coming here for a while now. The owners here are so kind to me and my kids. We love the burgers and fries here. The menu spans from burgers, to pho, to Korean, to fish and chips. Great place to swing by to pick some comfort food if you don’t feel like cooking dinner.“

“Traditional and authentic Korean food. You can tell by the way the restaurant heavily incorporates elements of Korea. I love how the flavors complement each other and create a unique experience. It also elevates your spice tolerance. The kimchi has a delicious savory taste that creates a heavenly combo with other items. The rich soup broth compliments the noodles very nicely.
Staff is kind and succinct, service is fast, ambiance is cozy even when patronage is limited. Food comes in large portion sizes and restaurant has a large variety. The restaurant is open late. Truly a local gem that I would recommend if you’re in town.“

“food was goodsrvice was good too!“

“Small Korean banchan market but with a wide selection of dishes ready to eat and frozen. Note: all sizes are large and be prepared to spend some money est. $18 a dish
Lotus root, scallion, cucumber and radish are so good, waiting for the beef soup to thaw 🥰 friendly mom and daughter business“

“No frills Korean BBQ. The meat is on an island. You select what you want and cook it. There are other side dishes. I pretty much stuck to the galbi, marinated beef ribs. I’m stuffed myself.“

“Great food and Staff. I'll definitely be back“

“Stopped by Ichiban Teriyaki & Wok during a sales day in Fife with a coworker, and I'm glad we did! The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Their bento boxes are a fantastic value, and the egg drop soup that comes with them was the perfect appetizer. This is definitely comfort food done right. I've already saved this spot as a favorite so I can come back whenever I'm working in the area. Thanks for the great food and hospitality!“

“New owners are really nice and food is great.“

“My first time trying jajangmyeon I don’t really know if I can compare or have much knowledge on how it should taste but I thought it was good, also got the orange chicken my baby loved both. Chicken had a nice subtle orange flavor not too overpowering to keep you eating more, sides were also different flavor/texture to have kimchi is a nice touch to add so was the radish. The most friendliest people ever which makes this place above 5 stars. More than enough food for lunch & dinner I highly recommend Malri Hyang without a doubt.“

“The 2 owners are so kind, and the food has never once disappointed. It’s honestly the best teriyaki spot I’ve had in Washington and I’ve tried many. They make it with love! Great portions, the teriyaki has such a good unique flavor and it’s always fresh and excellent. I read through some of these negative reviews and honestly feel as if these people just don’t know what good food is“

“We had a few fabulous meals, delicious and spectacular! Pork vindaloo marinated in tamarind vinegar, fish and farm-chicken xacuti, crunchy colourful vegetables stewed in coconut milk, and more. Even a mundane ingredient like yellow pumpkin, cooked simply in earthen vessels, tasted complex and exotic. If you ever offer cooking classes, i'd love to learn the basics!“
