    *Small disclaimer - this review is made for Obar, a small cutesy side shop that's connected to Sottukkeong. However, on Yelp, Obar isn't recognized and their receipt ties back to Sottukkeong.* I gotta say, this cute lil joint called Obar Izakaya & sushi serves some wicked seafood pancake. Located right next to the main restaurant Sottukkeong, this place is fairly easy to spot as you drive around the tiny parking lot. Overall, here are my observations: -Came in around 9pm ish; was greeted by a sweet grandma like lady (who I assume was both the server, cook, and etc since there were no other staff present). -Menu is fairly basic and short -Wait time on food: A bit slow, but understandable if there was only 1 person on staff -Food: LOVE THE SEAFOOD PANCAKE! With plenty of seafood (this place doesn't skimp on the ingredients woot woot), this was quite the treat. Also, did order the fish cake soup but this was so so. Interior: Small & intimate! Definitely suggest coming here with a small group of 1-3, 4 at the max. This place definitely has the whole Japanese zen feel while incorporating delicious Korean food aroma. Oiiiiiii. Please take me back for more seafood pancake!

    Dak kal bi

    Dak kal bi was very yumm! We got the fried rice after that. It was bomb!!!!! Soju price was little bit pricey but overall it was a good experience

    Combos off the menu!

    There's so many Korean barbecue spots! I think I found a great one located in North Lynnwood off of SR-99! Sottukkeong is a small restaurant that delivers quality food. I came here on a Saturday evening and got seated right away by a very sweet, older Korean woman. We ordered one of the combos E. It came with thin slices of beef brisket and pork belly. I wish there was a combo that had short ribs along with it. There's no price if you wanted to add additional meat/seafood so we didn't bother to ask. To accompany our drink we had the yogurt soju and Hite beer although my boyfriend asked for the Lager. I don't think she understand English too well and that's totally fine. Our barbecue came out fast- along with the bachan and egg soup. Although i read another review that it came with a soybean paste soup hmm... I wish there was tofu soup! I enjoyed the meal. It was fulfilling for 2 people although $50 is pretty steep for just two meats and not all-you-can-eat either. We weren't terribly full but if there was another few pieces of thin sliced brisket i would've devoured that lol. I'm not sure how much our bill ended up being because my boyfriend paid LOL. But I'm sure it was around $80 in the end. They do make delicious kimchee! I wish I had asked for more but the lady never came back until the very end to get our check. Overall, delicious meal although a little pricey.

    Same number, new name!

    Has Chung-Sol gone through a rebranding? From my experience, it is now known as Sottukkeong. :) Anyways, Sottukkeong/Chung-Sol is my favorite Korean BBQ place in Lynnwood! Owned by a little old couple, the restaurant features various Korean BBQ combos, from pork belly (samgyupsal) and marinated beef (kalbi) to spicy pork and seafood. Your group can order one of the combos depending on what meat you want to grill. Some of the options also comes with beer or soju. Along with the grilling meat, you usually get a side order of Korean soybean paste stew (doenjang jigae) and steamed eggs (gyeran jjim). It's not the largest restaurant around - each table can probably seat 4 people max. if you're going primarily for grilling, you should probably go earlier rather than later. I've heard that it's a favorite for late night food/drinks and can get quite busy. :) If you still have room after your Korean BBQ, I highly recommend ordering the stir-fried rice. They fry it directly onto the grill, using the leftover marinade, grilled meat, etc. as flavoring and ingredients for the rice. Add some kimchee, soy bean sprouts and lettuce for extra seasoning!

    Dakgalbi (fried rice was added later on)
    Anne M.

    Have been trying to find some Korean restaurants in the area, and was invited by a friend to try this place in Lynnwood. My friend knows his way around Korean cuisine, so ordered Dakgalbi for us to share. The lady (owner?), was friendly, and my friend was able to communicate in Korean which I think helped our experience! The food (which came with traditional sides), was good, not too spicy, but pretty flavorful. The leftover dakgalbi was transformed into a fried rice dish by the owner, which was amazing, since she did it all right in front of us at the table. Again, the rice was nice, not the best in the world, but was definitely good. The interior of this place isn't exactly modern or anything, but it's comfortable. It wasn't busy when we arrived (around 6pm on a weekend), but it started picking up around 8pm. It's definitely a whole in the wall type location, so you could easily miss it when driving by. I suggest trying once to see if you like it!

    Bibimbap with Banchan

    So the only real appeal to this place is that they're open late. They have smaller portions with higher prices. Most korean places usually give you 5 side dishes and include rice. This place you have to pay for the entree and rice and side dishes are extra. I would probably only come back here if I were super desperate.

    Great authentic korean bbq!!!! I moved from Atlanta and finally got to eat something I can say it's real korean bbq. Wish I had a car to drive over much more often! Customer service might not seem great at first, but please know it is NOT bc they don't care but because it's a mom and pop shop and the owner lady does a TON of the serving and managing. She also seems to be much more comfortable with Korean than English (I have only spoken Korean with her).

    Finally a decent korean BBQ and "dak gal be" place north of federwal way!!! This place... generous with side dishes with a good varity. The food is just "makes your mouth water" and "make your stomach smile" good. It's in a small cozy place where I think the tables may seat up to 4. I'm sureyou can extend the tables. Come one and come all!!! Be happy there is an awesome BBQ in lynnwood!!!

    this place is a rating for O Bar, which is connected and ran by the same business with a different concept. This is close to a traditional Korean pub in Korea, or it's a very common type of Korean tavern/pub type of establishment in Korea town in California. This place is very small and cozy with very decent food. I noticed most places in Washington doesn't serve soju by the bottle which is a upset. Soju is like wine for is along with our cuisine. It's a tradition. I was really happy that they actually served it by the bottle. This place is probably the better Korean establishment I been to within the week I have been here in Wasington.

    this restaurant is the best i ever had!! I would love to recommend who love Korean BBQ traditional style. It really good with three people up because the good is a lot also the price isn't cheap, but it's reasonable if compare about price and good!!

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!

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!

Yes, this place gives me that kind of vibe... or I just overthink. Anyways, I ordered the combo with black bean noodles and sweet and sour pork. 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. We never had to use to kiosk to call them once which I appreciated very much.

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!

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.
