My mom wanted to come here for her birthday and I have been wanting to come here since they opened so we had the opportunity on June 28th! My boyfriend and I were to first to arrived but I remember last time my mom and I tried to go in, they were really busy so I figured it would be good to check to see if we had to join a waitlist. Luckily, we came in at a good time and they seat your party even if they are not all there. Just a reminder that this is a small restaurant with 6 tables (also not that big) so plan accordingly. As the rest of my part arrived, we ordered a combo T, mala jjampong, gan jajang, creamy shrimp, chili shrimp, and shrimp fried rice. A table cleared up near us, and our waitress politely asked if we would like to attach another table to make room for all the food we ordered. I appreciated this so much as I was worried about how all the food would fit. It was so much better with the other table as food arrived and the portions are so huge so it was super appreciated that the waitress helped us out. The food was probably some of the best Korean-Chinese food that I have ever had in Washington. The flavors here are on point, the portion sizes can easily be meal today and a meal for later, and the amount of meat, vegetables and daikon was plentiful! The tea here is nice and comforting as well as great accompaniment to the food. I was also surprised to see their fried rice comes with not only jajang sauce but a bowl of jjamppong broth! The mala jjampong was the perfect spicy and numbing taste that I was looking for. I have to say the story of the show was the gan jajang, it was so good we started to dip rice, the tangsuyuk meat and more to enjoy it to the fullest. We mostly all had leftovers except for two dishes but I think that just shows how big the portions are here. The service here was friendly, I do wished they came by to check on us but it was a little busy so I get it. The staff here was friendly though. My boyfriend and I are already waiting for the next time to dine here as we were extremely impressed and pleased with our experience here. read more

Jjajangmyun place. Nothing overly special.. service was par. Food was decent but not memorable like u have to come back asap. Dining area was not too big. We had to wait 30+ min for a larger party of 10. Imho.. was not worth the wait. read more

Was craving jajangmyeon and found this location nearby so decided to swing by after my workout. It's located in the plaza with many other restaurants sharing the parking lot. The restaurant itself is small with a few tables. The staff provided hot tea and iced water. Once the order was taken the meal came out pretty fast. The portion size is very generous! Noodles are excellent and sauce was flavorful but a bit bland to my taste but nothing like adding a bit of soy sauce will do the trick for me Overall I found a go to spot for my jajangmyeon cravings read more

Literally one of the best Jajangmyeon's I've ever had and the Tangsuyuk was so good too!! Really good portion for the price!! It's gigantic... so it was more than enough for 2 people! The Tangsuyuk batter was rly light & crispy! And actually filled w pork instead of other plcs where it's just the breading... Def coming back here to eat again!! Highly rec checking this place out in Fed! read more

A good place for jjajangmyun and jjampong in FW. We had their jjajang platter which was huge and can be eaten by 3. I was hoping to see a little more seafood, but it was more baby corn. Also, it was a little thicker and starchy than I like, but the flavor was good. We also ordered jjampong which wasn't very spicy. We enjoyed the soup base. Noodles were cooked well, too, so it wasn't soggy. The tangsuyuk or sweet & sour pork was good - light batter using rice flour, but it lacked a little crunch. The sauce was to my liking. We also ordered the fried mandoo which was good and worth getting. Overall, good! I'd go back. Just make sure you get there early to put your party down. There's not much seating. We got there 10min before noon on a Saturday and the 4 of us waited 25min. read more

I was craving jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk for some reason so we decided to head to this spot. At 5pm on a Saturday there was a little bit of a wait but it went by fairly quickly. The restaurant itself is small with a few tables inside, so expect a wait when you come here during busy times. The portions here are large. You can easily share 1 noodle dish and tangsuyuk between two people. The price is reasonable as well. The jjajangmyeon is good. There is a good amount of flavor on the noodles but I wish there was something a little more to the black bean sauce. A little more richness? It was a little lacking. The noodles were not as chewy as I would prefer. The pork pieces for the tangsuyuk were big and they give you so much. Could have been a little more crispier (my personal preference). The sauce for the tangsuyuk wasn't very special and could've been a little more flavorful. It was just kind of sweet and little sour. The service is quick and the servers are very kind. I would recommend if you are craving it. read more

Wooree Bahnjeom is located within one of the many little plazas on pacific highway. This plaza has other Korean restaurants and stores and has plaza parking. The restaurant itself is pretty small inside but there was no wait when we arrived at 5:30 PM. Around 6:00 PM a line did form. We ordered the Woree Combo S which comes with jajangmyun (black bean noodles), jampong (spicy seafood noodle soup), and a shrimp of your choice (kkanpun, chili, or cream). This combo gave us a little bit of everything. Portions are quite large and easily shareable. The jajangmyun was good - chewy noodles and good flavor on the sauce. I have however have had chewier/fresher noodles and felt the sauce could be more hearty/meaty in flavor, but that's just me being extra picky. The shrimp they use are extra large and the flavor for the kkanpun shrimp was good. Slightly spicy with some sweetness. I appreciate the pickled radish they give on the side to cut some of the heaviness of the entrees. Only tried a few spoonfuls of the jampong but felt it had good heat and flavor! Service was friendly and quick. For a good Chinese-Korean spot in federal way, I would return and recommend it! read more

I am giving this 4 stars more because of the seating. The restaurant is very small and if you come at peak times there is often a wait. The food however, is really delicious! The portions are very large. We noticed that the price of the Jajeongmyun was higher than other places normally charge. This is a very solid place to get black bean noodles, sweet and sour pork, and jjampong seafood noodle soup. I recommend trying it out! read more

I visited around 16:30 on a weekday and dined in solo for about 1.5 hours. Had a huge craving for jjajangmyeon and jjampong, but I also wanted to try their tangsuyuk since I've never had it before.. I couldn't just pick one, since I live almost an hour away and wanted it all.. LUCKILY, they offer a combination of all 3! I tried the jjampong at the restaurant, and took the rest home for later. The tangsuyuk still tasted delicious after air-frying: just the right amount of that airy crispness, which blends really well with the sauce. The jjajangmyeon noodles, I just boiled the noodles for a bit, and it hit the spot. The portions were decent too, so plenty of leftovers for me! The jjampong could have had some more seafood and more spice, but I still enjoyed the broth. The female server who took my order and rang me up seemed nice. I like that she checked up on me occasionally, but wasn't overbearing. The restaurant is quite small and no customers around the time I arrived but over the course of dining in, I noticed several [Koreans] filling up the restaurant. I could tell when they spoke with the server. Not sure if that's their typical staffing but she appeared to be the only server, whereas everyone else was on kitchen duty. Keep in mind that because it's a small restaurant, there's also only one small restroom. Idk if there was an issue with the door at the time, but it's propped open when not in use (or at least it should be). I did notice an awkward exchange between an old lady and a staff member; the old lady was using the restroom with the door closed but somehow, one of the kitchen staff walked in on her accidentally. Not sure if it's user error or an issue with the door/lock? The restroom could also be cleaner for a better experience, but otherwise, I enjoyed the food and my time there. Not sure I'll visit again since I'm not close, but I would suggest to try out Wooree Bahnjeom and decide for yourself! read more

We came to Wooree Bahnjeom based on word of mouth from friends. Old school vibes. Cozy and quaint. The food was as described by friends. Well made, authentic and large portions. JjaJjang myun was delicious. Glossy black bean sauce with well sautéed onions and nice chunks of pork over chewy noodles. Jjampong was good. Seafood was a bit underwhelming and broth was a bit weak in flavor. We LOVED kkampungi and Tangsuyuk. Well fried and good sauces. Not greasy and not cloying. Just right. Huge portions. We over ordered and now have leftovers for 2 meals. Service was fine. I was really disappointed in one of the servers. My father accidentally bumped her on the way to bathroom. He apologized. The server rudely badmouthed him after he had gone in. I could hear it from our corner table. Not very professional. Narrow spaces will be corridors for accidental bumps. Despite that, the service was adequate. They were busy. read more

If you want truly outstanding Jjajangmyeon or Jjampong, the best place is still the Korean-Chinese joint in Paldo World in Lakewood, but if you're just looking to fulfill a craving, Wooree Bahnjeom is a solid place to do it. This spot is usually fairly busy, but they've got a waitlist system that moves quickly, and they're good about texting as well as checking for customers who may be waiting outside. If there are only one or two parties ahead of you, I'd say it's worth waiting a bit. Otherwise, there are plenty of great Korean restaurants in the same strip mall (I'd recommend So Moon Nan Jib). The last time I went, my friend and I ordered the Mixed Seafood Jjajangmyeon (쟁반짜장). The portion size was solid, the seafood wasn't tough, and the right idea behind the flavor was there. Compared to the spot in Lakewood, the sauce wasn't as rich and savory, and the noodles were less chewy than they should be. The dish also wasn't served with the usual Korean radish (단무지) and onions. Still not bad, and the location is convenient. read more

Read about a new Jjajangmyeon 짜장면 place in Federal Way. Came here on a Sunday lunch time and had a light wait. Once seated, we ordered the Jjajangmyeon 짜장면 / Jjamppong 짬뽕 / Tangsuyuk 탕수육 combo, with a side of extra noodles. Plenty of food to feed family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children under 10 years of age). The noodles were very good and not over cooked and the rest of the dishes were great. Service was good and the staff were nice & polite. Small space and definitely felt too cozy. Will definitely come back. I think we might have found a good spot when your craving Jjajangmyeon 짜장면 / Jjamppong 짬뽕 / Tangsuyuk 탕수육 read more

The most legit Korean-Chinese cuisine restaurant in Washington -- and perhaps the best I've tried anywhere. I've eaten Korean-Chinese food from Korea to Hawaii to LA, and at so many places across Washington. *Please keep in mind that the photos were taken at home from takeout, so they don't represent the restaurant's actual plating. * Everything is prepared well, with perfect flavors and a generous amount of vegetables, seafood, and meat. You can tell they use fresh ingredients and never skimp on quality or quantity. * We always order the Gan Jjajangmyun, and it is as perfect as it gets. The black bean sauce is slightly sweet, very savory, full of ingredients--vegetables, seafood, everything--and has a lovely smoky flavor. Easily 11/10. * The Jjambbong is incredibly hearty with deep, rich flavor. There's a ton of noodles and an unbelievable amount of ingredients and seafood. You keep finding more as you eat. 11/10 * The Tangsuyuk is perfectly crispy and chewy. I'm pretty sure they use a layer of mochi in the coating. The sweet-and-sour sauce is excellent. 11/10 * Even their fried rice is exceptional. I've eaten here multiple times now, and they are consistently good. I'm just glad another truly exceptional spot opened--and I mean exceptional. The space is pretty small, so we always get takeout since we don't want to wait or feel rushed when eating. I think they're gonna need a larger space soon. They've also recently made improvements with ordering and service. In the beginning, they frustrated a lot of customers because they didn't take phone orders--if you called, no one picked up. The previous staff member who used to work the front was really rude. She always found something to argue about for no reason. Once, our jjajangmyun was quite salty, and when we told her, her response was: "We usually make it a little salty for dine-in because customers like to take leftovers home and mix it with rice, so it's actually perfect." ...What? I came to eat at the restaurant, not plan my leftovers. I haven't seen her the last few times, so she may no longer be working there. read more

Updating my review since their last renovation. The restaurant looks nicer with new furnishings. The menu included more items compared to their old menu. Food came out fast despite being busy. I thought the portion size was bigger, which is nice for leftovers. Will come back again for their jjampong noodles. read more

We did takeout one day but had to do it in person since they don't take phone orders. That was a big bummer since I waited almost 30mins! We dine in another day & it wasn't too crowded so service was fast. I really like their jajang myeon & Tangsuyuk. Kanpungi was good but very salty. read more

If you're familiar with the plazas throughout Feddy, you know the common issue is parking. This spot isn't an exception. The spaces are small and usually someone is waiting and parked on the side for a spot. But onto the restaurant itself. This place gets so busy and fast! We had to put our names on the wait list. The spot is pretty small once you get inside hence why you see so many people waiting outside. The food itself was decent. Tbh, the jajajangmyun wasnt as flavorful as other spots. But the jjambbong soup hit the spot. I thought the Kkangpungi was gonna be on the bone chicken, but it wasn't . So slight disappointment there. It was more of a less saucy general tsaos chicken. We came as a group and got a couple of the combos and yet added some a couple dishes to the side. We ended up ordering way too much food. Oops. But lots of people took food home. The waitresses are chill and fun! read more

-Atmosphere: 5/5 Pretty small, around 8 tables that can seat 4 people each. - Service: 5/5 They were friendly and checked in once to see how we liked the food. They got very busy right after we got there at 4PM, so I would recommend going early or be expected to wait. I was telling my fiance how I needed to be careful since I was wearing a white sweater (poor planning on my part). The waitress actually handed me an apron so I was super thankful for that! - Food: 5/5 The food was so good! We got jjajangmyeon and tangsuyuk. Portions are great, and taste is on point. It's definitely on par with Modoo Banjeom, and better than Paik's in Bellevue. My fiancé really enjoyed the tangsuyuk. The flavors are great, the tangsuyuk had a great crisp and were moist inside. - Location/Parking: 4/5 It's in a plaza where all the good korean jems are, so parking can be a bit hard to find. read more

I had to visit twice this place. First time visit, they were about to have a break time. Second time trying, I was able to seated without waiting and guess I was lucky. Ordered spicy seafood noodle, shredded pork dish with buns(dont know name) and some stir fried seafood dish over rice. Overall, I enjoyed the shredded pork dish the most. Other two dishes were okay to me. I would like to try their black bean noodles next time. Maybe I expected too much on other dishes I ordered besides black bean noodles. read more

Seafood Jajang Platter $28 Brisket Jjamppong $20 Kkanpunggi $22 Tangsuyuk $24 Finally a place in Federal Way that does it right!! They just opened last week so they are still working out the details and food does take a bit longer than usual. But its so worth the wait!!! Hurry and go before it gets even busier! Seafood jajang platter serving was HUGEE maybe like 3 people worth. The tangsuyuk meat was super juicy but the batter wasnt as crispy as I normally like it to be. But still better than all the other korean-chinese restaurants. Jjamppong broth was alright, lots of seafood in it!!!! read more

This place was poppin' when I went on a Saturday afternoon--definitely busy and a bit tight on space, so be prepared for a packed vibe. That said, the food? Pretty dang good! I ordered the jjajangmyeon and sweet and sour pork, and let me tell you... the sweet and sour pork might just be the best I've had in the greater Seattle area--crispy, flavorful, and not overly greasy. The jjajangmyeon was tasty too! Maybe not the absolute best I've had had but still solid and satisfying. I'd 100% come back--especially for the sweet and sour pork--and I'm excited to try more dishes next time! read more

New favorite for us I wish I had taken photos. We were craving jjajangmyeon and popped in here. We had the combo with Jjajangmyeon, jampong and tangsuyuk. These were huge servings and more than enough for 2 of us to share. There was a good portion of noodles, sauce with lots of meat and veggies. The jampong broth was so good and had a nice smokiness to it. Lots of seafood! The tangsuyuk was the bomb. So crispy and the sauce on the side was so good!! Its very cozy, only 6ish tables and when we left there was a line of people waiting. The staff were the best! So friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back. read more

We went right at opening for Saturday lunch and there was a line to get in. Because there are limited number of seatings, place got filled within 10 minutes of opening. The service is quick but not as attentive. We got three dishes to share. 1. The portion of Seafood Jajang platter is huge with generous amount of seafood. The sauce is little too sweet for my taste but still good. 2. Jjamppong has a nice kick but not overly spicy. The broth is light but tasty. 3.Tangsuyuk was nice and crispy. Sauce is on the sweeter side, not as tangy. Probably best place to get Jajang/Jjamppong in Federal way area but maybe not the best in Seattle. We would come back to try other things. read more

It was our first time there. It was a small and quaint little restaurant. Lucky we got there 15 mins after they opened. By 11:45 it started to get busy.

However, Gan Jajang noodle was not as chewy as I expected and there wasn't much meat in it. The Seafood Noodle soup was good and had a good about of meat. Definitely will try again. read more

Growing up with Korean-style Chinese food, I've always associated it with nostalgia. If there's one dish that perfectly captures those childhood memories, it would be Jjajangmyeon. Traditional Jjajangmyeon features a slightly sweet, somewhat runny black bean sauce--a comforting and familiar taste. On a friend's recommendation, I visited Wooree BahnJeom, a Korean-Chinese restaurant in Federal Way. Even though it was still early for lunch, the place was already packed. Fortunately, I found a seat right away, but soon after, a line started forming. While my Jjajangmyeon arrived fairly quickly, I noticed that larger entrees took a bit longer to be served. At the table next to me, a group ordered Tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork). The moment I saw its nearly white color, I could tell it was made with glutinous rice batter. The texture looked wonderfully chewy, which is a definite upgrade over the usual flour-based version. Now, onto the Jjajangmyeon itself. While not the best I've ever had, I'd say it ranks among the top three in Washington State--at least by my own standards. The biggest letdown was the noodles, which lacked chewiness. Additionally, they weren't drained properly, so excess water mixed into the black bean sauce, making it too runny and slightly diluting the flavor. The service was excellent--one of the best I've encountered in a Korean-Chinese restaurant in the area. Despite the fast-paced environment, the servers were attentive, efficient, and even made time for small talk with customers. The restaurant was also impressively clean--there was no lingering greasy smell, and the tables were wiped down thoroughly, avoiding that sticky feel that some places have. Pricing was reasonable, and while I didn't check the restrooms, I assume they were available. Would I return? Absolutely. While not perfect, the combination of solid flavors, great service, and a well-kept dining space makes it worth revisiting. read more

The food was so good. Leftovers for days. Wait staff were attentive and kind. There were no disappointments in the dishes we ordered.

Apparently a new restaurant. Small, a single unit at that strip mall. Went there as a party of 4. Had 3 noodle dishes plus 2 fried meat dishes. Unfortunately, I don't know the Korean names since they were ordered for me in Korean. I really liked the JaJang noodles, the noodles felt authentic and home made. However the sauce was really bland and not enough. I also had the fried pork (tangsuyuk?) that you dip in the sweet sauce that has pineapples in it. Very tasty as well. I had the KamPung chicken, which tasted like orange chicken. It was very good. However I later found out it was $28! That's a ridiculous price for something that shouldn't have cost more than $20 at the most. Finally, there were two soup noodles which I didn't taste because I was so full from eating the other stuff. Overall, I liked the 3 dishes I ate except for the price. Everything was new and clean including the bathroom. I probably wouldn't go again though. read more

Wow, the food is on par with Korea. We got jjajangmyun, jjampong, chili shrimp, and tangsuyuk. Our fave was definitely the shrimp and jjampong. I've had Korean Chinese prob everywhere in WA, and this is hands down the best one. Definitely authentic and would definitely would be back! read more

The jjamppong is a must! Very welcoming and staff is great! Will be returning very soon.

I will sit in 5pm traffic to eat here, if that doesn't convince you then idk what will. It's a small restaurant that is very compact. It's kind of open kitchen so you get all the smells and see all the hardWOKers in the kitchen. The people who work here are so sweet and kind. They will answer any questions you have that make you feel welcomed. They even offered us some tangsuyuk for free because they fried too much. Service is top tier! The food I absolutely loved it, the best I've had south. If people weren't sitting so close to me and lowkey judging how much food I had I would've cleaned my plate. Something new that I never had and will be definitely dreaming about when I'm on keto is the KKANPUNGI SHRIMP. It was sweet and spicy common flavors of Korean food and crunchy and sticky all at the same time. It was a mouth explosion. The shrimp was lucious and meaty. Just chefs kiss. -Jajang was rich in flavor and velvety with pieces of meat and veggies. It was really good, really rich, really umami. I want to try the seafood one next time. -Jjampong, repeating myself here the best I've had south. I like this in particular over other ones I've had because they load up on the veggies and shrimp. -Tangsuyuk, crispy, lightly fried great for kids because it is not spicy and you dip n the sweet and sour sauce. I'm not a fan but still found it tasty. -Oh yeah they don't offer kimchi. Hopefully this will change in the future. If you HAVE to get something different than your usual when you visit Korean/Chinese restaurants please please try the shrimp kkangpungi. read more

Stopped by Wooree Banhjeom right when they opened, and the experience was smooth and straightforward. They offered aprons as soon as I sat down, which was great for keeping my clothes clean while eating. It's a small detail, but definitely appreciated. Service was attentive with consistent follow-up, especially considering it was early in the day. The restaurant itself is pretty small, so seating can feel tight once it gets busy. Parking is shared with several neighboring businesses, which can get a bit congested depending on the time. Food came out quickly and tasted solid overall, matching what you'd expect from a Korean-Chinese spot. Nothing really stood out as extraordinary, but everything was prepared well and hit the basics. The atmosphere is clean and simple, which works fine for a casual meal. Prices felt fair for the portions you get. Overall, it was a good visit. It was dependable, comfortable, and easy.

Really busy and you have to wait for a while to be seated. I feel like it's because food is good and they just opened. Server is really busy so you have to ask what you need or what you want. I really like spicy noodle (짬뽕) and deep fried Pork with sweet and shout sauce (탕수육), my daughter liked deep fried chicken with sweet spicy sour sauce but I think it was just alight. I wanna go back to try black bean sauce noodle (짜장면) some time soon. Highly recommend for sure! read more

First, this place has THE best Jampong I've had in the area. So it makes me very sad to write this review. - I visited on 3/11/26 - my daughter and I both ordered Jampong and ate it in the restaurant. It was very tasty, the portions are HUGE so we both took about half of our servings home. On 3/12, I reheated the remainder of my Jampong to eat for dinner. All was ok until I had a bite of something that just tasted off - I spit it out and it was a CIGARETTE BUTT. Yes, the filter part of the cigarette that you put in your mouth!!! I called the restaurant immediately and spoke with a young lady who was very apologetic and told me that it had happened before!!! She says that it is from the mussels. Something with the vendor and when they're cleaning the mussels - I was shocked that it had happened before. She did refund my money but I was so grossed out still from chewing a cigarette butt. I believed her however and decided to try the restaurant again in the future. -3/19/26 - approximately 5:30 p.m. - my husband, daughter, and I visit the restaurant again for dinner. Their Jampong is soooo good so I wanted to give them a second chance!! We didn't see a cigarette butt in our dishes but sadly I witnessed another shocking incident. We were sitting at the table right next to the cash register. The hot tea canister is directly in our sightline. When another group came in, the worker who was in charge of the cash register went to grab a tea pot from the top of the water dispenser. Then he dipped the entire pot into the hot tea cannister at the top - he lifted the lid that is covered by the yellow towel (instead of using the spout at the bottom to fill the pot!!!). He literally dipped (with his hands) the entire tea pot into the top of the tea dispenser to fill the pot. I was shocked but wasn't as alarmed until a few minutes later. I encourage the owner to check their cameras to see what this guy did!!!! Another party paid and left - this man cleaned the table and put all the dirty dishes and their tea pot into the gray dirty dish tub that was on the rolling cart. He then rolled the cart by the water dispenser, removed their tea pot from the gray bin, dumped the remainder of their tea into the gray tub and set the tea pot on top of the water dispenser. -This means that they do not wash the tea pots between use (perhaps this is the norm at most restaurants and I didn't know this). -What makes this even more gross is that then he dips the pot into the hot tea cannister to refill for the next customer!!!! The hot tea in the large cannister is tainted with each pot/hand that gets dipped into it and you're drinking from who knows what. Why can't he at least use the spigot at the bottom to refill the cannisters? I have called the health department - this can't be ok!!! As tasty as their Jampong is, we will not be returning. It is important to pay attention to hygiene and it seems like such a simple thing to do!!! read more
