We stopped in for dinner around 7:30 p.m., and I'm so glad we chose this place. We ordered the fried mackerel, kimchi pancake, stir-fried octopus, pork tofu stew, and jokbal. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and delicious. The kimchi pancakes were definitely my favorite.. we loved them so much that we ended up ordering a second order! This was a great introduction to Korean cuisine, and I really enjoyed getting to try so many different dishes. The service was friendly, the food came out in a timely manner, and we had a wonderful dinner experience. If I'm ever back in town again, I'll definitely be stopping by. I can't wait to try more dishes!

One of the worst dining experiences I have had. Two major issues with this restaurant recently -…read more 1. The portions were so laughable. For Japchae, they charge 16.99 and there were like 2 pieces of meat and 5 spoonful of noodle. They used to have a lot more ingredients like mushrooms too but recently it has gone downhill 2. Worse was the service or rather lack of management. There were about 10+ tables that were dining in and they had 1 waitress serving all those tables. 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.

I love that the sauce had the right amount of salt and sugar and not overly sweet. My experience with Korean food had always been on the sweeter side so this dish was perfect for someone who doesn't prefer overly sweet food. The amount of meat and octopus were also super generous. We came on a Friday evening around 6:30 and the wait was quick. I saw that most tables had more than 4 people and it makes sense as the sharing portion was huge. Service was also really good. You order the food on the iPad. Will come back !

(Which I'm sorry to say is rare in Korean restaurants!). Now onto the food! They have the best kimchi soondooboo soup! The kalbi and pork belly were excellent. The side dishes were high quality and instantly filled. Our seafood pancake was so yummy and not too doughy like some other places. My mother in law has two things she always wishes for and Korean restaurants never have this - 1) hot tea without having to ask for it and 2) purple rice!! She got both here!! If there is one minor thing we have as a suggestion. The pork belly was a bit thick. I could see why as you don't want too thin of a slice. I wish there was a bit of extra char on it but that's personal preference. Pro tip: go right at opening! The places fills up very quickly. Because they are so efficient, we actually got in and out in one hour. We'll be back!!!! Management if you're reading this, kudos to your stellar staff!

Just me :) Three…read morestaff members helped me today, and they were all very friendly, checking on me several times. The food was good, just like always :). I ordered Jjampong. I love everything; perhaps the octopus could be cooked a little longer to tenderize more. I love the crunchiness from it, and the crunchiness from the black mushroom too. 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! I have noticed that they always work together seamlessly as a team. They communicate and clean the tables together in an efficient manner. Please keep up the great work!

This place filled up during peak dinner time on a Saturday, so it's probably best to get here…read moreearlier to avoid waiting too long. They can accommodate big groups, as they had 2 different large groups at the same time, but those took up a lot of tables because the restaurant isn't that spacious. The combos are a good option if you have people to share with and/or multiple people are hungry. The portions are enough for more than one meal, and the prices reflect that. We ordered boiled dumplings and the friends combo A with jajung, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk (M). The bowls of jajung and jjamppong are huge, but I didn't notice any meat in the jajung. The jajung was basically noodles, brown sauce, and onions. It was tasty, but disappointing that it looked and tasted vegetarian. The jjamppong was tasty because it was garlicky and slightly spicy. I was surprised to see the boiled dumplings were basically tiny wontons in clear broth. They need to update their menu description because I was expecting dry and regular sized dumplings. The tangsuyuk was very crispy, and I'm glad they served the goopy sauce separately.

Arguably one of the better experiences I've had in Washington. Shout out this location.

Great addition to Lynnwood, though LA sets a high bar! ​For…read morethose unfamiliar, Baekjeong is a famous chain from Korea with several iconic locations in LA. While I haven't been to the original in Korea, the LA spots are my go-to favorites, so I'm comparing this new Lynnwood location to that experience. ​The interior here is great--open, inviting, and perfect for first-timers. The service was excellent, and like the LA locations, they handle the grilling for you (a premium touch you don't always find at local KBBQ spots). The menu and pricing are very similar to what you'd expect from the brand. ​I did notice a slight dip in food quality compared to LA. The meat there tends to be leaner, the seasoning is a bit more refined, and they are much more proactive about swapping out the grill plate between different cuts of meat. That said, chain standards are usually highest in LA, so that's a tough comparison. ​Overall, it's still a fantastic experience. If you're a first-timer or comparing it to other options in the Lynnwood area, I definitely recommend giving Baekjeong a try!

A family style type of vibe, you will be able to share with whoever you go with. Barley tea on tap and homemade kimchee with a meal you get. The kimchee is bomb. The food is bomb. The Jajangmyeon is delicious. The sweet and sour pork is phenomenal (sauce isn't too sweet nor tangy) the batter on it is crunchy and flavorful. Mobu tofu is yummy too. We've never had Mobu tofu with big pieces of tofu and no meat and it honestly made me prefer it more. 10/10. She treated our kids with such kindness and that'll always make me come back. My son doesn't prefer sauce on his sweet and sour pork & she made extra for him to enjoy. She didn't have to but she did. It's a cute hole in the wall type of place. The service to the food is 10/10. Definitely recommend!!

The lady that runs this place is warm and inviting and tries to ensure each customer is happy and satisfied when they leave. Definitely order the Black Bean Noodles! Sweet & Sour chicken was nice and crispy, as was the gyoza. The honey walnut shrimp was tasty, but had too much sauce for my liking. Can't beat the price, and overall great value. The restaurant is no frills, but clean and worth a try of you're in the area!

My boyfriend and I stopped by here after a long drive from Kent as we are staying at a nearby hotel…read morefor a convention and it was pretty late so most places were closed. 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. We never had to use to kiosk to call them once which I appreciated very much. My boyfriend and I look forward to coming back and definitely want to give a heads up that their portions are huge so come hungry!

Seems like more of a social hangout spot for late night eating and or drinking. If you want a nice quiet dinner, this isn't the spot. My group and I ordered the Korean fried chicken and the kimchi pancake to start. The appetizers didn't take that long to come out. Everything came out hot and fresh. The chicken was standard fried chicken size and came with 10 pieces. It came with 2 pieces of drumsticks and the rest were chicken thighs. The kimchi pancake was super crispy. We also ordered the beef tofu soup and the chicken bulgogi entree. The tofu soup was a lot - it did not come with an egg unlike other spots. The chicken entree was flavorful overall.

My friends and I ended up in Lynwood and we were like, why not get some Korean food while we are…read morehere!? So my friend did some research and we came to WuJu. 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!

Bulgolgi was alright but I liked everything else. We also got take out which included a beef soondobu (tofu stew) and bibimbap and it was very nice that they included a portion of banchan, nicely separated by little sample paper cups. 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.

The donburi comes in stone pot so the food comes out sizzling hot. If you order an entree it comes with complimentary side dishes that they also refill. The waiter is also nice and attentive. The tables and inside bathroom are also always clean.
