50 Best Korean Restaurants near Shoreline

“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!“

“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)“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I ordered on doordash for pickup, my food was hot & ready once I arrived not even 15 minutes after ordering- perfect, beautiful. However, there was only one person working the front end & they were absolutely busting their ass. My partner ordered a bubble tea once we arrived & it probably took 20ish minutes to actually receive it. I am in no way complaining about the length of time it took, more so wanting to bring to the owners attention how hard this person was being worked during what was an insanely busy dinner rush. Food was decent for the price & I would definitely come back. Shout out to the pink haired FOH worker for their patience & warmth during an insane rush of people slamming their phone in their face & demanding to be seen.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“Great portion size and friendly staff.“

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

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

“great food, very authentic“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is a local Korean spot in Lynnwood. We tried the bossam (steamed pork) - I really liked how they bring out the meat and you cook it at your table. The pork was sliced thickly and it tasted great with the fresh garlic and bean paste.

Also tried the galbi tang. The portion size was good - there were 3 large pieces of galbi in the soup.

I really liked the rice here. While it’s the classic Korean purple and white rice, it was cooked really well. It had a nice, chewy texture to it. I also liked the banchan here too - pretty standard, but it tasted fresh and you can also for refills.

Would recommend making a trip out here for the food!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Amazing atmosphere with great service. Drinks are presented beautifully and taste is 10/10! Food is great as well overall a great place to come in and play some board games, get some drinks and eat. Owner is very sweet and inviting definitely coming back.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I visited Stone Korean Restaurant today with friends, and I have to say the portions were quite large. I really enjoyed the veggie pancake, it reminded me of a Turkish dish called ‘mücver’. The tteokbokki was okay; I’ve had better ones before. I tried the Kalbi Bibimbap Combo, which was good, but I actually liked my friend’s Spicy Pork Bulgogi even more, it was delicious! They also brought us several side dishes, and those were pretty tasty too. Overall, we left the place happy and satisfied.“

“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“
