Loved this spot for the seafood jajang, tonsukyuk and jjampong! Better than some other spots for this type of food. We got the platter and it was a big portion! Although the prices are also high so I'm glad at least they didn't skimp on the portions. Garlic green beans were also fragrant but a bit underdone and unseasoned. Would come back!
This place filled up during peak dinner time on a Saturday, so it's probably best to get here earlier 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.
Walked in and it was busy - a good sign. tables full so we were seated at the counter by the windows. Soft tofu/seafood and brisket/seafood soups. $21 and $22. Portions are huge and it was tasty. Each had one mussel and lots of shrimp and octopus. Nice option for a cold day.
It's been a long time that I finally met one that tastes so good and met my expectation! The best in town - jjajangmyun! Tangsooyuk was good too but I definitely gave 5stars for the black bean noodle.
This place is located on the Western edge of Lynnwood near Edmonds College. The area is a bit sketchy, but they have a large parking lot in the front. The inside is spacious, clean, and brightly lit. After ordering, the food came out after 15 minutes. We ordered the Jajang noodles and the sweet and sour pork. The portions for both items were generous and tasted fantastic. Overall, we had a great epxerience here eating authentic Korean food.
On the way back to Vancouver, I managed to stop by this Chinese Korean restaurant well-known for its jajangmyeon and jjamppong. The menu is simple with limited options, which helps an indecisive diner like me. Everything is a staple at this restaurant, and when the food arrived, I was impressed with the amazing portion size. The flavour of the jjamppong was amazing - savoury and umami, perfectly hearty with lots of seafood and brisket. I couldn't stop drinking the soup even when all the noodles were gone. The jajangmyeon was also really delicious, and the sauce-to-noodle ratio was perfect! It's a shame that this restaurant is so far away from home because I would love to go back more often. ~ Service was also prompt and quick, and the restaurant contains ample seating with bright lighting.
Seafood soup was super flavorful! I also love how bouncy the noodles in the soup and jjajjangmyeong are. Would definitely come back for the seafood soup!
Stopped by mid day on Saturday. Clean, nice ambiance, and staff was super friendly. We'll versed in food service, especially Korean-Chinese cuisine. They earned 4 stars before the food came out. And the food was fantastic. I came out from Sammamish, quite the drive - I travel for Korean-Chinese cusine. Very good experience, will definitely come back for ALL the remaining dishes I have yet to try.
This place is so good! Haven't have much Korean Chinese food before and one of my Korean friends recommended this place and it didn't disappoint. We got their family set that comes with black bean noodle, spicy seafood noodles, tangsu, and chilly shrimp. I highly recommend all these dishes for the best experience. I loved the spicy seafood noodles that was probably my favorite thing of the night. The service here was pretty fast and the staff are really friendly. We got seated pretty fast despite being a Friday night
Came for lunch with leftovers for dinner. Delicious noodles, generous portions great for family style dining. The Korean chicken did not disappoint either! Massive plate with leftover for both of us.
Wow I left impressed with this place! I finally found a Korean Chinese place in Seattle that I can look forward to. We walked in 12:15pm on a Sunday for two people and we luckily got seated right away despite the restaurant looking packed. Food: number one dish was Jjampong - the noodles really stand out in its consistency and texture, along with the perfect balance of depth and spice. It was packed with seafood and we also had brisket since we took the brisket option. I normally don't love Jjampong, but this place had me going back for more. Jjamangmyun was really good here too - noodles bring the dish to life along with depth and umami of the black bean sauce. I'd say it's on the sweeter side but I loved it. You can taste the flavor of the heat from wok in these dishes - executed very well. We also tried the Yuringi (fried chicken in a spicy tangy garlicky sauce) - it was really good and crispy. If I had a choice, I'd go back and have the Tangsooyuk though because I was eyeing the plate on the table next to us lol. Service: so kind and fast. Very communicative about any dishes that were taking longer than expected. Ambiance: casual fun spacious lively. Good place for a casual meal with your family or friends. Bathroom: two all gender restrooms both very clean meaning the kitchen is clean Parking: very easy. We parked on a gravel lot next to the restaurant I'm coming back. I had doubts given they have another location in Bothell/woodinville area that was just ok. But this location - whatever they're doing differently - hit it on the nail. I loved this place
I have been driving by this place for months and never bothered to stop in, and I finally decided to make it a point to do it since the word noodle is in their sign. I'm so glad I did... At first I was a little thrown off by the fact the noodles were not what I was expecting, and there were so much unfamiliar things on the menu, but I was wowed by their shrimp fried rice (accompanied by their pork with bean paste which f-in' blew my mind). The soup that comes with it is spicy but so flavorful. Their noodles are good too, but not nearly as flavorful as the friend rice. I'm now a regular here... once a week I get the craving for that yummy yummy fried rice and I just can't help myself but to drift over there. Highly recommend!
It was super busy on a Monday evening, with only the single seats or a table for 2 when we came in. Portions were great, you can def share! Staple comfort food- tangsuyuk & jajang are recommended! That tangsuyuk was fire, so crispy and the sauce was perfect. The staff were super welcoming. 10/10 for service. The store is well decorated but it's a lot of tables squished into a small space. Overall 3 dishes came to about $58.
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the flavorful Korean-Chinese dishes, friendly and attentive staff, clean and lively atmosphere, and generous portions.

One of best jajang, jjamppong, tangsuyuk in seattle. We found this place randomly just because we feel like eating spicy ramen or any spicy noddle. This place is very similar to Paik Noddle in Bellevue, but we like this place better for so many different reason. The jjamppong broth is thicker and flavorful. The tangsuyuk portion is bigger. We order the combo A that has 3 of them for $54. Portion is big. You can upgrade to different jjamppong. They are all super friendly and nice. Food comes out fast. Restaurant is clean. Restrooms: 2 individual gender neutral restrooms Parking: free shared retail complex parking. Will totally come back again. read more
I stopped by on Sunday, just a few minutes before noon. The restaurant was empty. Just me :) Three staff 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! read more

Came here around 4:30pm and we were seated right away. It wasn't busy when we arrived, but more people started coming in shortly after. We ordered the fried dumplings as an appetizer, Jajang rice, and Combo A- which includes jajang, jjamppong, and tangsuyuk. Everything was shared among four people, and the portions were big and filling! The taste was very solid, and everything was satisfying overall. The staff were also very nice and polite, making it a great experience overall. Would definitely love to come back again! read more

New addition to the area and has been recommended by many. The place was inviting and the decor was simple but cute. The place has great food and huge portions! Server was very nice and helpful when deciding what to order. I ordered the combo for two which consists of Jjamppong, Tangsuyuk, and Jjajangmyeon. Everything was definitely sharable and you still had enough to take home. They all tasted so good it was hard to pick a favorite. The Jjamppong had so much flavor and it was spicy! The Tangsuyuk was hot, crispy, and paired well with the sauce. The Jjajangmyeon was one of the best I've had in a long time. Definitely a must try! read more

Modoo seems to be creating a Korean food chain brand in the Pacific Northwest and I love it. Modoo restaurant in Lynnwood serves very consistent and tasty Korean dishes including their mega hit, Jjusami. Modoo now has two locations for Modoo Banjeom, serving Korean-Chinese dishes. This review is for the Lynnwood location. What I love about Modoo is their staff. They are so friendly that I sometimes don't even know what to say because I am so awe-struck. They are promptly responsive and did I say, friendly? I love going to Modoo Banjeom and having one of the friendliest services in Korean restaurants. And the food is great! I especially love their brisket jjamppong for its rich and flavorful soup with generous portions of seafood. Jjajangmyun was solid and tangsuyuk was perfectly crispy with a well-balanced sauce. Their Mapa Tofu is a spicy heaven with flavors exploding in your mouth. We are so glad that we have this amazing place in Lynnwood! read more

I went here with a friend a couple of weeks ago and we ordered the beef brisket jjampong, regular jjampong, and fried dumplings. I wasn't expecting much since it's hard to find good jjampong around Seattle, and I usually find it too oily. But this place really surprised me! The regular jjampong had lots of seafood and a good amount of noodles. I tried my friend's beef brisket jjampong, and it wasn't oily at all as well, which I loved. The fried dumplings were also bigger than I expected and really tasty. The service was awesome too. The staff were really friendly and kept checking on us to make sure everything was okay, so we could see that they cared about customers. The place was clean and had a nice vibe. I highly recommend here!! read more

Very good Zhajiang Noodles and fresh fried porks! Delicious Korean zhajiang noodles, best in town! read more
Great food that hit the spot on a rainy day. The brisket jjampong (noodle soup) was super flavorful with a lot of ingredients. Even though I ordered the brisket jjamppong, there were lots of seafood which I love. Super filling or great for sharing plus other dishes. We also had the vegan jajang. Super tasty. Added a fried egg. Even a picky eater enjoyed it. Looking forward to be back. read more
Really delicious food, huge portions and good prices! The restaurant is clean and you can tell it's legit from the clientele. Nevertheless, it was great to share the food with a friend. The food here is different from typical restaurants as this is considered a Korean Chinese spot. read more

Really kind servers! Especially the guy with the glasses :) Probably the quickest seating at a Modoo I've yet to experience and least busy among their chains. Modoo has built a real name for themselves here in the Lynnwood community and I hope their dynasty continues to thrive. Really solid jjampong and jjajangmyun. Though I think both can be a little more savory and the jjampong can be spicier. The black bean noodles are a little sweet for my liking. Though I'm curious about their other variations. But overall, it's a solid place to get your cravings fixed once in a while. read more

Super new noodle house and definitely lived up to expectations. Upon entry, customers are greeted with EXCELLENT customer service. The interior is modern, industrial, minimalistic and super CLEAN. The overall vibe brings you joy and sets the tone for the meal that's about to get inside your belly. Now on to the food, the Jjjajang Myun (black bean noodles) are worthy to be praised! The sign of a truly good Jja jang myun is when the noodle texture is chewy and the sauce is not oily. The pork in the sauce was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of meat with a layer of fat. If you've never had black bean noodles, imagine a sweeter flavor profile of pork cooked with onions and black bean paste. There are slivers of cucumber as garnish. The Daikon radish side is essential to cut the rich flavor of the saucy noodles. I add vinegar to this and the red chili peppers as well. They also serve a house tea, and ice water is provided upon request. Thank you to the Banjeom team! read more

Out of multiple places that we've tried, finally landed in best jajang and jjampong place. The servers were friendly and very attentive asking if we need anything else. Modern and clean interior. We got combo c1 to share and it was enough portion to share among 3-4 people. Definitely, plan to come back soon. read more
