“We ordered the Bulgogi, Kalbi and chicken wings, everything was delicious. Even the banchan was so yummy! Service was excellent! Just a perfect little jewel in Kent!“

“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.“

“Cold spicy noodles (bibim nengmyun), beef soup (sulungtang), and hangover soup (wooguogi hwejang guk) were all very delicious!

Kimchi was on the sweeter side but refreshing to accommodate the soups.

Service was fast and friendly.“

“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🩷🩷🩷“

“Amazing place! Food is great and staff is absolutely Top notch great customer service!“

“A true hidden gem, almost makes me want to gatekeep it.

You can tell the food is made fresh every day. I loved the lunch box, especially all the delicious side dishes that came with it. The kimbap is also unique because it’s made based on whatever fresh ingredients they have that day, which makes every visit a little different.

If you’re looking for fresh, homemade-style Korean food, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“I went to dinner with my family here. It’s absolutely amazing experience. We got the beef feast large size. The meat quality is great. The sides are fresh. Their servers are very nice and friendly. Our family are all very satisfied and will for sure come back again!!“

“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!“

“Good Korean tofu soup spot with friendly staff and quick service. The soup was flavorful, hot, and satisfying, and the portions were a good size. Prices were reasonable for the quality of the food. Overall, a great place to grab a comforting meal. I’d come back again.“

“the best lunch I've had in a while.“

“We tried this place for the first time today and are very satisfied! We ordered the hangover soup and the bossam. They were both super delicious! Loved the sides too. The service was excellent. We are glad we’ve found this place and look forward to dining here again!“

“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 👏“

“Nice small space with great Korean hybrid food. 5 stars here for the salad medley and fermented pickles.“

“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.“

“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“

“Underrated Teriyaki and Korean food restaurant with easy take out. Best teriyaki on Rainier and perhaps in town. The only fault that it is closed on Sundays. Quite delicious food options. This is the place you want to go for a delicious meal.“

“Love their KBBQ & service“

“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.“

“I got the chicken bulgogi, a pretty common Korean dish. Honestly, it would be hard to differentiate it from teriyaki chicken you'd find anywhere across the city. The meat is tender and the sauce is a little sweet and smoky. Tastes like bottled sauce.“

“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.“

“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“

“First time going, had a great experience. So much food, all you can eat for just $40. The Garlic Chicken and Spicy marinated Pork were our top two favorites. But everything we got was great. Got also the Beef brisket (which they give you a lot), the Spicy marinated Shrimp, and the Spicy marinated Chicken. For two people who are hungry, only 4-5 meat dishes needed. They do not let you take any leftovers home unfortunately. Even if you cook it. Also got their fried rice, the Kimchi Soup (really good), and the Cold Noodle dish (not that great, or just not our favorite thing compared to everything else and was unnecessary). It was my husband's first time having Korean BBQ, so was fun and he really enjoyed getting to cook his own meat and he loved everything and how much we got.“

“Went there for lunch and got the short rib combo and dumplings. Loved it and will be going back. Everything tasted fresh. The kimchi pork jjigae was perfect, I was so stuffed I couldn't finish it. The banchan was also super fresh. They were busy but they busted ass getting food out hot. Perfect lunch for someone by themselves. I bought the kimbap for dinner and it was so good, much better than the hmart one. Got to go try their fried chicken next.“

“First time trying Korean style corndog and this place was fantastic! The man was very welcoming and friendly, he also got very
Busy w a rush of orders and was operating by himself but he pulled thru! Our food was hot and fresh and very very good! Give it a try!“

“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 :(“

“Quaint little eclectic shop serving donuts and Korean food. The yeast donuts are really fluffy and the donuts and donut holes are priced well! The filled donuts are near bursting with filling! They do not skimp! My husband really enjoyed the kolache pig in a blanket and said the pastry part was fluffy like the donut rather than flaky like a croissant.

You know it's a good donut shop when you're only there for a few minutes and the other customers who came, ordered their usual, and then left during that time were both police officers 🤣 I kid you not, it legit happened, and they didn't even come in together-it was separate instances!

Anyway, it was a great donut shop. The donut holes came out fresh while we were there, and they were spectacular! Just as an aside, there's a picture on Google maps of japchae which had me really excited, but they do not serve japchae (I asked). I'm guessing someone uploaded a picture from the wrong place when leaving a review. Just mentioning it, so you don't get your hopes up like I did. 😅“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Love the place at first , don’t go now. Small portions and prices increase Good bye“

“food was goodsrvice was good too!“

“A new up coming restaurant in burien just five minutes from the seatac airport and 15 minutes outside of seattle. Its my second time in here now and I got to say each time ive came in here I was met with a warm welcome as if I were greeted by a old friend, the restaurant is very clean with tables and chairs that can fit possibly 20-25 people dining in. The restaurant plays current radio hits which is nice when youre unwinding and waiting for your meal. I ordered the yangyeom chicken and the cheese & herb shake fries as a meal and comes with a drink. The shake fries were 10/10 the fries were crisp and soft to the bite and they did not skip on the portions I had a whole bag of fries I finished in one sitting. Now the chicken was absolutely delicious crisp, crunchy, and tender I could eat it without any sauces but the sauce did add a whole level of flavor truly delicious. Ill be definitely stopping by often for more.“

“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.“

“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.“

“A real gem near the heart of Georgetown! In addition to the American-Chinese classics like Teriyaki, they have REALLY GREAT Korean food, including a grilled mackerel which was so nice. Prices are great for a high quality meal with big portions. Service can be kind of slow (20-25 minutes from order to getting food) so if you only have a small lunch break, not a great idea, so I had to take off a star.“

“My favorite pho spot so far. I love that there are vegetables in the soup base in addition to the veggies you can add on your own. Staff is friendly. I would try the steak pho either Korean noodles or glass noodles, both are good. I love extra bean sprouts, jalapeños,and spicy chilli sauce! Expect to pay $15-20 per person“

“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.“

“These mochi donuts were so soft and tasty! I loved the flavors—I got a purple berry donut with fruity pebble sprinkles.“

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

“Seriously some of the best service Ive ever had in a Korean restaurant! Dakgalbi was spot on with the spice and sweetness balance with a good variety of vegetables, chicken and rice cakes. I really liked my korean pear cocktail and has a great selection of korean beverages. The owner and the young gentleman were both super kind and attentive.

I used to go here 10 years ago in my early 20s and it's been around since I was in grade school. Over time, the place improved greatly with the same cozy ambiance. There's a good reason for their longevity of business.“

“The owners are truly kind, grateful people. The food is fresh- I had a Poke bowl with Salmon and avocado, and it was FULL of good flavor. My kids were crazy about the BBQ Chicken- awesome portions and fantastic sweet/smoky flavor! My wife tried the Yakisoba, and loved all the vegetables. Very solid value for the buck- this is a great place to check out. Glad we made the drive from Woodinville!“

“Great service, delicious, and fun for the whole family! Was super exciting to have Korean Bbq in Kent! Will definitely be going back and highly recommend!“

“I definitely like it 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻“

“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.“

“Delicious! I could taste quality ingredients and good seasoning, amount was perfect to share with family. Thank you!“

“I had never been to this location before. Staff was so friendly, food was so good! You got to check out the katsu sliders yum! Also dont underestimate the tofu tots and jalapeño sauce. Cant wait to go back and try more food. P.S. bomb happy hour deals“

“Great locale. Very unassuming but it’s what makes this place special. It could be a little overwhelming seeing so many options. This review is specific to what I’ve ordered.

Their chicken teriyaki is solid. Portions were ok. Surprisingly got more chicken than rice, but overall well worth $15. Chicken had perfect amount of char and was well cooked (not too dry). I do think they should’ve added more teriyaki sauce to the food though. May have been bc my order was takeout. KEY DETAIL: the sauce on the tables boosts the flavor.

Miso soup was delicious. Very deep and rich flavor; tofu used was a little too soft for the soup (in my opinion), but the soup was well balanced.“

“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“
