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.

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.

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!

Very good Zhajiang Noodles and fresh fried porks! Delicious Korean zhajiang noodles, best in town!

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.

Yuringi

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

fried dumplings

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.

Shrimp fried rice loaded with kimchi radish.

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!

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!

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!

Jjampong,fried dumpling
Alisa R.

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!!

For the entrees, we ordered the garlic fried rice, crispy pork belly, tofu phad thai, and crispy garlic chicken. Everything came out hot and fresh. The fried rice is good, the crispy pork belly is a tempura batter. The crispy garlic chicken is drenched in a sweet sauce and the tofu phad Thai was on the sweeter side.

I've been aware of the Seattle location because of the cute name, like mountain bao, but never visited. Lynnwood (Mill Creek) area is a bit more convenient, so decided to stop by. Kind service, mainly taking orders and dropping off food, but was pleasant. Green Beans - solid green beans! No meat but stir fried well. A bit pricey but a solid shareable portion. I'd love a version with some meat but I can appreciate being vegetarian friendly. Pan Fried Pork Bao - sadly no soup in this pan fried bao. I think there was too much bread because everything was very doughy while the actual pork was tiny in comparison. If there was more meat then maybe the extra large dough would be okay. On the bright side I guess this is a filling item with the carbs. Xiaolongbao - Unfortunately, 2 out of 8 XLB were ripped and the soup spilled in the steamer. Those ones were extremely sad and disappointing. However, even the remaining 6 XLB didn't have that much soup. I would skip the XLB here which sucks because the place literally has bao in the name. Shu Mai - tasty, hearty, comfy, and satisfies the craving perfectly. Large and scrumptious, as delicious as any dim sum spot. Highly recommend because I was shocked, not expecting much.

JangAn Sullangtang is a…read moreperfect case study here: hyper-focused on their namesake ox bone broth, with a few limited sides. I went with the brisket option. JangAn puts diners in the driver's seat, meaning that seasoning your soup is up to you and your own preferences. This might sound intimidating, but every table has a guide printed out, and the servers proactively offered to guide me as they brought out my roiling bowl. This method of seasoning complements the beauty of seolleongtang, which seems to deepen as you eat it. Warmth, seasoning, and time gradually coaxes more richness from the bowl, so take your time and enjoy the process. One special shout out for the banchan. You'll get both Kimchi and Kkakdugi (raddish) with your meal, and both can be refilled freely. I think you'll want to, because it was among the best I've ever had. They sell it to-go as well, and you can bet I took advantage. Overall 5/5

I can't believe it has been two years since my one and only visit to T Dumplings House…read more Tonight, I was feeling a little sluggish, and a little under the weather so I was in the mood for some comfort food, but nothing heavy. I ordered the cabbage and pork potstickers, the Dandan noodles, a beef pancake roll, the veggie, egg and shrimp potstickers, and finally the lamb with onion potstickers and one coca-cola (yes, all of this was for me, don't judge). First, the beef pancake roll was AMAZING!!! It's a super simple item, the pancake was crispy and soft, wrapped around some lettuce and flavourful beef. This is a must order. The potstickers were all fantastic. Warm, pillowy pockets full of veggies and protein. The cabbage and pork were my favourites. Finally, the Dandan noodles. These noodles were covered with beef and sauce that had just a whisper of peanut butter. So simple but yummy! This place serves up some delicious food!

It is their specialty and they do it well, from the skin to the fillings. In my opinion, they are much better than dough zone. However, their pot stickers, steamed, and boiled ones, are all the same type, so be aware not to order too many dumplings, mix in some noodle or pancakes dishes to avoid one note. My only complaint to the menu is they don't offer much wide veggie dishes. The only thing is the cucumber salad, which is only a ok dish.

I had a craving for some noodles and my daughter took me here since it was close to her home…read more It was located in a strip mall with sufficient but a little tight parking. Inside was rather functional and we were seated right away that lunch hour. Menu contained a good variety of fried and soup noodle dishes. The fried noodles were also served with a side of broth. I originally wanted wonton soup but deviated at the last minute to try their Dan Dan noodles. My daughter got the beef noodle and wonton soup that she liked. My Dan dan noodles was served with the same soup noodles and topped with a saucy ground pork and veggies. The pork packed a good amount of heat that I liked and enough to coat all the noodles. I personally preferred a thicker noodle but overall a good dish. The same lady who seated us took the order, served us, refilled our waters, rang up the sale and cleaned up afterwards. I'd come back here again.

Ignoring the fact that we were the only diners, which is ok these days with many opting for take-outs, I thought the food should be ok. Alas, their food is authentic adjacent but "not it". They look like they should be good, but the tastes are off. I should have guessed things aren't quite right, when the staff struggled to answer my simple question that any normal wonton shop would have understood. The interior is basic and quiet. During our time dining, only one other diner arrived. The Food: Wonton and Beef Brisket Noodle Soup, $14 - 3.5 Stars The beef briskets are reasonably tender. The wontons are acceptable with pork and shrimp fillings. The egg noodles are legit. Soup (or Spicy) Dumplings Noodle Soup, $14 - 2 Stars The Chinese name on the menu calls this Original Soup Sui Gow Noodle. This is a genuine and very good noodle soup at other places. Theirs is not it. The broth is not "original soup", which is a fish-based broth. Theirs is meat-ish, but not meaty and certainly not fish-based broth. It tasted off and weird. The dumplings are not sui gow. They are glorified larger wontons with pork and shrimp. A sui gow typically has Chinese black mushrooms and/or woodear fungus for a varying texture in the bite. The one authentic ingredient of this dish is the egg noodles. Garlic Chicken Wings, 6pc, $12 - 4 Stars These are good - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Not too garlicky but still good. This dish rescued this meal. Lettuce Fish Meat Soup, $12.50 - 1 Star This dish is normally a popular HK street food dish. This dish is not that. The fish pieces lacked flavor and seasonings. The broth, again, is not fish-based but the same meat-ish flavor, same as the dumplings noodle soup. I wish I never ordered this.
