    A great gem inside H-mart's food court. I will definitely be planning my H-mart shopping trips around lunch time so I start making my way through HomeTown's menu. We got the ramen + kimbap and the spicy soft tofu stew with rice bowl. Both were splendid and very flavorful. Great prices and good sized portions.

    Omurice
    Philip P.

    Located in the food court at H-Mart Lynnwood. There are plenty of seats and tables since it's a food court. There isn't really much lighting, but you can see just fine regardless. This place has a variety of entrees that the other stands do not. I like getting their Omurice from time to time like today, but they also have cold noodles and kimchi fried rice. Would I recommend this place over some of the other stands? Depends on what you want honestly. The other places do have a lot of the same Items, but if you want to conveniently get everything at the same stand, this isn't a bad choice for tofu soup or bibimbap either. You don't get as many side dishes as the tofu soup stand by the side entrance, but it's still decent. Tea or water is available at the stand as well if you need a beverage. Other option is to use one of the vending machines or get a drink at H-mart. Service here is fairly quick. You order, pay, and wait for your number to get called. There's no hassle really. You do have to bud yourself afterwards. Some people don't, but it's common courtesy to so and I feel like it's expected with any food court. There're usually bins by the stand to just dump your dishes and utensils in. I usually have no complaints here. This place is satisfactory in my book.

    When I go grocery shopping at Hmart, I always make sure to grab a bite to eat! This time, I tried the Doe-katsu for $16.99 and the Kimbap for $10.99 at HomeTown Korean Food. Both dishes were delicious and crispy, leaving my tummy very satisfied! Plus, I appreciate that they offer complimentary warm tea and water, which I always enjoy.

    Ate this all by myself and I don't regret it one bit.

    I love coming here especially after my power yoga session. The soup I get is the one and only spicy beef soup bowl. It never changes. It's so comforting, hearty and full of beefy flavor. It has green onions, bean sprouts, poached egg, glass noodles. The broth is spicy that my head sweats too. (Oh, I went far ha) lol This soup help me to detox and puts me in a good mood. This bowl of soup comes with a bowl of white rice, kimchee and pickled radish. So good you guys. It keeps me full for a long time - at least 5 to 6 hrs. I recommend it to everyone and I'm very confident you will love it as well.

    Kimchee Fried Rice with an over easy egg on top
    Cheol K.

    Located in the H Mart food court, this restaurant is a fantastic place to get some good homemade Korean food. I ended up getting kimchee fried rice and the cheese tteokboki. The fried rice was amazing. I took the egg and mixed it into the rice. This is true comfort food for me. As an appetizer, the tteokboki was perfectly cooked in its sauce. In all my years, I've never had it with cheese on top. It was coated with a gooey and delicious mozzarella cheese on top. This took it to a new level! How have I never had my tteokboki like this before? Need to come back and try some of the other dishes like the tofu soup!

    Ramen
    Darshak B.

    Ramen is instant noodles. Do not get that. So bad. Didn't expect that from asian food court.

    Nothing like Korean comfort food after a day filled with adventure. Located in Lynwood's H-Mart's food court, this spot serves up Korean favorites. My family and I ordered: *rabokki (tteokbokki with ramen, $15.99): appropriately priced for the portion. This was spicy, as expected, and quite delicious. *naengmyeon (buckwheat noodle in cold broth, $13.99): really refreshing on a cold day. I reallllllly should've gotten this instead of the rabokki, because I was lowkey dying LOL *kalguksu noodle soup ($13.99): noodle soup with an anchovy-kelp broth. So comforting; I think I'll have to whip this up for myself! This place hit the spot; wouldn't hesitate to come back if I'm in the area again!

    This place is located inside the H-mart shopping complex. They offer various Korean noodle dishes. I tried the #7 Kalguksu noodle soup, which is a garlic-based light noodle soup with potatoes and sliced carrots. There were also two paltry butter clams (so that the word "seafood" can be used to describe the entree). The soup was overly salty with a very strong garlic flavor. The minced garlic was also not cooked thoroughly, so it tasted a bit raw and pungent. The food came out about 10 minutes after ordering.

    Kimbap, Tteobokki, Kimchi Fried Rice (Kimchi and Kimchi radish above)
    Maryam A.

    Decided to visit this place before shopping at H-Mart and realised that many of the items we wanted to try had pork in it. They quickly let us know that they could substitute the pork with egg and so we ordered the kimbap, kimchi fried rice and tteobokki. They also offer complimentary barley tea - yum! The kimbap was fresh, but like the other items, it didn't really deliver on flavour. (Food rating is 3, service brings it up to 4)

    Thicc Kimbap
    Sara V.

    Hometown is one of the restaurants in this food court that's really stood the test of time. They're pretty quick, the servings are fresh and generous. I used to come with friends in Highschool and share their kimbap combo, I think it was a roll and a bowl of spicy instant ramen haha. Looks like now it's offered as two rolls. Even with this update, the rolls lasted me two meals. If you haven't tried yet, kimbap features delicious pickled veggies (iconic yellow daikon radish and quick pickled carrot slivers) and cooked spinach, and long sticks of mild sausage and egg omelette rolled in rice, seaweed and sesame oil. These keep/travel well as everything is cooked and cooled. (Caretakers who havent tried this dish - the long chewy nature of the seaweed and spinach might be tricky for little kids or the elderly to eat, make sure they're chewing well.) I got these to go, but eating at the food court is nice too especially with friends or fam- they have a station for complimentary tea and water as well. Check out Hometown for quick, generous eats at the H Mart Foodcourt.

    My to go place in H Mart when I'm craving Korean food. They're fast and the food is good. I love their gimbap especially.

    Tofu stew
    Chelsea P.

    Large portions! The tofu stew was very good, however it does have clams and shrimp in it so don't be surprised like me. Even with the clams and shrimp it wasn't too "seafoodie". The fried rice was very tasty and the side salad was a nice complement. Their kimchi and daikon sides were good too. I ate the kimchi with the tofu stew to give it a little more taste. The girl who took my order was very nice. Meals come with complementary tea. I would recommend to anyone shooing at H-Mart or in the area! Plenty of seating and the area was clean.

    Korean lunch for 2!
    Pauline L.

    Big portions for the price. Fresh vegetables. But seems like most dishes don't include much protein except egg. I got the jjal-myeon which was a guant bowl of noodles, julienned vegetables, and just half a hard boiled egg in gochujang sauce. It was just a big bowl of carbs and shoyld have been offered with beef, tofu or chicken ro round out the meal. The ramen and kimbap was instant ramen with some egg mixed egg (not a ramen egg). The kimbap looked fresh but fell apart whenever we would yry to pick one up. After eating all the carbs my stomach and sense of satisfaction were both unhappy. Not ever going to return

We had to wait 25 minutes to get refill of hot tea and refill of side dishes. And then we had to wait another 10+ minutes to get to go boxes. We used to like this restaurant but we are now doubting if we want to even give them another chance.

Maybe the chef can find a way to achieve just enough tenderness while still being crunchy, which would be perfect. Another thing, my bowl looks burned on the edges. Kudos to all staff!

Although they're supposed to be half and half, the portion was actually big enough to feed an adult who isn't on a diet or afraid of carbs. There was plenty of sauce on the noodles, not just on top, but underneath as well. I loved that. Just mix it well and dig in. The only drawback for me was that the sauce was a bit mild, I prefer a saltier, more savory flavor. The sweet and sour pork was good. The pork was coated in a crispy batter, and the sauce leaned on the sweeter side. It was a nice combo, you can never go wrong with sweet and savory.

I had Dawa on my bookmarks for a long time ever since I saw videos about it and just the overall good reviews. We came in and saw that the place was pretty packed on a Thursday night but we were noticed quickly by a male employee and seated right away thankfully. Once we were seated, we were handed water and utensils as well as directions on how we can order as they have a small kiosk. We put in our order of galbi fried chicken, pork on the bone stew or gamjatang, and grilled pork belly. Once the order was entered, our waiter came back with rice, banchan, sauces and accompaniments for the pork belly, salad (think it comes with the grilled pork belly), pickled radish for the chicken and plates and bowls to share. It didn't take too long for food to come back but it didn't all come together which was odd but luckily the chicken was for sharing. The gamjatang was huge and pretty good, not as good as one of my favorite places in Federal Way but I will admit that they do give some huge pieces of meat and offer a one time refill of the soup. It could use more of a kick and more seasoning. The chicken as many others have mentioned was extremely well-fried, marinated and extremely huge. I do think they have the biggest Korean fried chicken pieces that I have ever seen in Washington. The meat was juicy, the outside was crunchy, and the sauce was heavenly. My boyfriend did say the grilled pork belly was some of the best he has ever had in his life, which is super high praise and I will admit that it is very good as well! They had an interesting playlist ranging from K-pop to regular pop (lots of Justin Bieber) and sometimes they would tone it down a bit then start blasting it. The two male servers working that day (7/16/26) were fantastic about checking in at perfect times, were courteous and refilled our waters.

There were only one other group when we came in around lunch time on a Sunday. It looks like it gets crowded in the evening so it was a surprise to find the place so empty, but we didn't mind. The lady who was serving us was very friendly and came back a bunch of times to ask if we need more tea. We were there way longer than how much we spend time at typical BBQ place, but she didn't seem to mind, which was nice. We had the beef combo, cold noodles, and squid and veggie stir fry, and that was way more than we needed. We thought the combo comes with only two bowls of rice but they added another one, seeing that we are party of three. That was nice. Banchan was pretty good and I kind of wish I ate more of it before the meat arrived because I got full from other items quickly. Cold noodles were average. Of the four kinds of beef in the combo, I liked three of them except for one (I believe it was the NY steak) - one item was leaner/dryer than other NY steak I had elsewhere. The combo also came with individual sauces (two types - salt in oil and sweet-ish sauce). The sweet sauce was quite forgettable and so I kept dipping the meat in the salt in oil sauce, but I wish they offered other sauce...maybe like soy sauce based ones or just plain salt. The squid stir fry was spicy and I enjoyed it. The combo also came with tofu soup, which was also pretty good. Overall, there were minor stuff that didn't go with my preference, but I had a nice time at WuJu!

However, she proceeded to examine them for an uncomfortably long time while repeatedly looking back and forth between my face, my ID, and my sister. She then told me I "don't really look like" my ID photo because my hair is different and even commented that my ID looked more like my sister than me. We're twins! At one point she had both of our IDs side-by-side comparing them while continuing to question things. I finally told her that while I understand validating IDs, the interaction was making me feel like the legitimacy of my ID was being questioned. What made it even more awkward was her repeatedly commenting that the tower we ordered was "a lot of beer," which honestly felt judgmental and unnecessary. We are clearly adults, presented valid IDs, and were simply ordering something from the menu. That said, the actual food was delicious. The BBQ combo we ordered was excellent, the sides were plentiful, and overall the meal itself was really enjoyable. It also seemed like the server realized the interaction had gone poorly because she later brought us complimentary soup and dessert, which we did appreciate. We still tipped well because we understand serving isn't easy and wanted to be fair. But honestly, the initial interaction left such an uncomfortable impression that if I returned and saw the same server again, I'd probably immediately feel uneasy. There's absolutely a professional way to verify IDs without making customers feel scrutinized or subtly accused of fraud.

Everything was packed neatly and was hot. The soondobu was tasty and came with purple rice which was nice. Bibimbap was also good but I wish that they provided a little more sauce to go with it. Overall, this is a solid place.
