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!

My twin sister and I came here today and had one of the strangest customer service experiences I've…read moreever had. After ordering a beer/soju tower, our server asked for our IDs, which is completely understandable. 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.

We didn't realize that they are now open for dine in too so called in to place a takeout order ahead of time. We got the jokbal and bossam combo as well as the spicy jokbal to share amongst the 4 of us, which ended up being the perfect amount of food. It came with a bunch of the classic sides like lettuce wraps, radish kimchi, a few sauces, and garlic and jalapeno. The meats were really well cooked - soft and tender and made the perfect wrap! I think my favorite was actually the spicy jokbal as the sauce was the perfect savory-sweetness that was quite addicting. Highly recommend if you want jokbal or bossam and I would definitely dine in next time!

We ordered the fresh rib eye, boneless short rib, hand-tossed boneless short rib, and the marinated beef short rib. Our favorites were definitely the hand-tossed short rib and the boneless short rib -- both were so tender and flavorful. I know some people say this place is pricey, but compared to other KBBQ spots with premium cuts, I think the prices are pretty fair. I'm more of a quality over quantity girl, so I felt it was worth paying a little extra for really good meat. Our server was nice but could have been a little more attentive. At most restaurants like this, the servers usually help cook the meat, but here they didn't touch the tongs once. Also, just a heads up -- they automatically add an 18% gratuity. We were a group of four, and it was already included in the bill.

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!

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 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.

The chicken is a bit dry and the fry doesn't stay crispy at all. The Creamy Onion sauce is surprisingly very tasty so it made the chicken a lot better- I would come here just for this. On the other hand, I could pass on the Sweet & Spicy sauce because it was on the blander side. We also got the Rose Tteokkbokki which I really enjoyed! It's flavorful, creamy, and overall well balanced. I just wish it came with more sauce. We got surprised by a Jinro mascot and team in the middle of our meal- they were taking shots of a new lemon flavored soju with every table. It was so much fun and I even got a free t-shirt. Totally unexpected but loved it haha! While this isn't my favorite spot for Korean fried chicken, I do see myself coming here again for specific things.

Not long after we ordered though, it started getting busy, so definitely seems like a popular spot. First off, the service was great. The waitresses were super friendly, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the whole time without being overbearing, which I always appreciate. Not gonna lie, I'm not sure of the exact names of the dishes because my Korean friend ordered everything for us but wow, everything hit. The food came out sizzling hot (literally). Everything was flavorful and comforting: * Fish, tofu, daikon, and veggie stew was super hearty with a nice spicy kick * Seafood stir-fry with noodles that had great flavor and texture * Crispy seafood pancake that was golden and packed with flavor * Plus all the little side dishes that just keep coming There's also a ton of seating, so it feels spacious even when it starts filling up. And parking was easy, lots of free parking available. Overall, such a solid spot if you're craving Korean food without the long wait (if you go early ). Definitely coming back!

After more than a decade away, I decided to revisit, hoping to relive those memories. The restaurant now shows its age, but that's to be expected. Even at lunchtime, many tables were already grilling meat. Wanting something lighter, we ordered the braised sablefish and the spicy cod roe stew to share among three people. The sablefish braise looked a bit small at first, but it turned out to be plenty. The seasoning was spot on, and the fish was tender and fresh. The banchan spread was exciting to see, but unfortunately, the anchovies had a strong fishy smell and tasted a bit stale--nothing like how great they used to be. The spicy cod roe stew was just okay--not particularly good or bad. I was a little disappointed by the lack of vegetables like crown daisy that usually make the dish more vibrant. Overall, the meal wasn't bad, but it fell short of the fond memories I had from the past.
