“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!“

“I'm obsessed. The owner is so cute and she makes sure she's open if I'm coming. She tends to rotate the selection so there's always fun new things to try. I'm a big vegetable eater so I can recommend so many things but my favorites are the following:

The eggplant 🤤
Bok choy kimchi
Spring onion
Pumpkin with cashews
Braised beans
Pickled yellow radish
The crosshatched mushrooms on the counter (I apologize I don't know what they're called but I adore them)“

“Super great deal on their bento boxes, and the food was delicious! The lady at the front was very polite and she even gave our group free complimentary white rice. The store also has complimentary miso soup and hot tea which is also great. Definitely recommend!“

“Ordered the tofu teriyaki and the orange tofu bowl. Was very pleased with the taste! I was worried at first seeing another reviewer who was given meat instead of tofu, but I did not have that issue. I have been looking for a good tofu teriyaki in the N Seattle area for a while and will definitely return.“

“Wow Teriyaki is excellent. Great food and good portions. Ester gives great service she’s very friendly and personable. We have enjoyed dining at her restaurant for years . I’m so glad she is here in Lynnwood. Thank you for being so awesome!. “Mama.”“

“Friendly service and creative blend of traditional Korean and fusion dishes.“

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

“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.“

“Amazing food and staff was great!“

“I go to Jang An at least once a month. It's my ultimate comfort meal. My favorite is clear noodles with beef tongue, but my husband likes the wheat noodles with mixed meat. You can't go wrong with either choice. It's very filling with the complementary rice and kimchi. Another of my favorite is the dumplings: you can dip in the sauce but it's extra good in the broth. Love that the staff gives you free hot tea. Love the staff here as well: they're hardworking and attentive. Please stay in business forever.“

“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!“

“Went to visit the Burke Museum and then get food. We wanted Asian, and this was the first out of six places we checked that had a better than 'okay' on the health rating! Food was very good, and it came out quickly. The banchan is always nice to see, some Korean places don't. All in all, worth the stop, would be likely to go again if we're in the area.“

“Good portion and price for the food. The kimchi fried rice and japchae had ok flavor. I wish they had some soup options to go with the bowls.
The place is unpretentious, has a few tables inside and two outside. I enjoyed the self served barley tea.“

“Eat in (small)or dine out. Excellent food. High quality and we'll prepared. Lots of vegetarian or meat options. Not expensive. Try this place.“

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

“Large portions of the most buttery steaks and pork we have ever had. Real Japanese A5 wagyu grilled for you on the table.“

“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“

“Its a to go late night kitchen. I ordered chicken katsu and sausage w rice. There was mistake with doordash but the owner was kind enough to make katsu curry and fries. I tried fixing it through doordash but doordash stuck. If you place an online order just you know their restaurant won't show up but another location but the other location is under different name. But its doordash fault“

“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'd seen this place just off the road for awhile and had always meant to go, finally went and it was a pleasant surprise! I thought it was just fancy hot dogs (by the name) but I was stoked to see it was corn dogs! The fries on outside is genius! Also I would've LOVED this place if I was a kid!“

“This place is a godsend for late-night munchies. Amazing food, friendly service, and open extremely late - what more could you ask for? The bulgogi was a large portion and was tender and umami without being too sweet. The soybean soup could have used a bit more flavor, but I appreciated it being packed with tofu, zucchini, and other extras. Banchan was good, and I liked the option of having purple rice! Would save this spot for a late-night feast.

The location is a bit tucked away. Interior is very cozy but clean“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

“Great food and amazing service! The staff were very attentive and friendly. We came here on a Friday night just past 5pm - they don’t take reservations on Friday so it was good that we went early. By the time we left there were a few groups waiting. We got the bulgogi, Japchae, Golbi Tang soup, and Hot stone bibimbap. Everything tasted so good and my personal favorite was the soup - the meat was so tender and soup so flavorful. Would definitely love to come back next time I’m in Seattle!“

“I stopped here because I wanted to grab something to eat with my family before the Janet Jackson concert. I had never heard of this restaurant so I was excited and extremely surprised with how intricate their menu experience was. The food was exceptional and the presentation was memorable. The flavor combinations were very creative and they definitely leave a lasting impression. I highly recommend the fried rice with kimchi, bacon, squidding, and the quail egg. also the oxtail dish and the salad dish were extremely unique and highly creative, and absolutely delicious.“

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

“Greate K-Chinese cuisine! Hold-in-the-wall place with authentic flavors, freshly cooked on the spot. I happily return to this spot multiple times. Service is great, they're kind and fast in serving the food. You need to enter the G Mart (grocery store), turn left before you pass the cashier and walk way inside to reach the restaurant.“

“great food, very authentic“

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

“The Sunday night dinner felt like a home cooked meal in a Korean grandmas home - a large quantity of healthy veggies, rice, stewed chicken.

The chicken stew was really quite tasty and the highlight of the meal, the rest was excellent but also a bit forgettable.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The friendly staff made the meal very enjoyable. We had baby back ribs, wagyu beef, cuddly kale, beef tartare and a bottle of soju. The beef tartare was flavored with sesame oil and tasted very Korean influenced. The duck fried rice was also great! Overall lovely and delicious! The only downside is that you need to walk through the hotel lobby and upstairs to get to the restrooms.“

“TL;DR: Fresh and satisfying.

Parking: hard to find free spots but there are plenty of paid spots in the garage or street. Weekends aren't free in paid spots.

Atmosphere: spacious, seems like most orders are ToGo/PickUp.

Service: wait to be seated, scan the QR code at the table, order taken at the table when you are ready, you will be watered, food brought to you, check brought to you, boxes for leftovers available upon request.

Menu: QR code located on the metal trash bins on the table. Photos available for the main items, mainly names and brief descriptions.

Complimentary cabbage salad: it was very crunchy and fresh, the dressing was creamy, sweet and every so slightly tangy.

Yakisoba: great noodle to topping ratio. Pretty much at least one topping in every noodle bite. The veggies had a very nice blanched texture and were added a light crunch to each bite. The sauce was as tad on the sweet side for me though.

Fries: lightly seasoned and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I found I could eat these plain without the need for a dip.

Original Fried Chicken: Very flaky and lightly crunchy. The chicken inside was brined nicely and was very tender and juicy.“

“best meal while in Seattle area.“

““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!”“

“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!“

“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.“

“What a gem! As you enter this place, the decor is inviting and modern. The owners are very friendly. The fusion Korean food doesn't compromise the genuine taste of Korean food and this coming from a very picky person when it comes to korean food. The portion is huge. The bulgogi burrito is large enough for 2 people to share. We didn't order the burgers but I heard that the owners specialize in burgers. Next time I'm definitely going to try the burgers!“

“This is a hidden gem! I randomly walked in and after I watched Jane work in the kitchen I was extremely disappointed that I had already eaten. The food looked and smelled phenomenal. I had envy for sure watching others enjoy their food. Jane was so nice and welcoming. I had a great time chatting with her and her staff, including Chase. I can’t wait to visit Seattle again and try her food! It’s on the top of my list! Thank you Jane and team.“

“Great place. I had the Beef Teriyaki Bowl which was excellent. The beef was great, but what I really liked was the rice. I don't say that lightly. Got to get the recipe for their rice.

The guy at the counter was extremely nice and helpful. I will definitely return.“

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

“The food is so good. Fresh and delicious. The service goes above and beyond. Parking can be tricky if you come in from the front but if you go around behind the building there is ample parking.
I highly recommend the 3 fish and the kimchi pork with tofu!“
