What an amazing restaurant. We got this recommendation from our Korean friend because she said it tasted very authentic and we just love it. More on the casual side from the seating arrangement, but great service, food is amazing and we will definitely e back! We were a party of 2 and got the chicken wings and Jjusami. Plenty of food. They also always serve you hot tea and are just very accommodating! Also amazing price for what you get! We will definitely be back! read more

Huge portion sizes, great service and easy to order. We got seated very quickly Saturday evening. Each table has an iPad to order, and each dish has an image that helps you understand what you're ordering if you're unfamiliar with the dishes. I really enjoyed the tea that comes with the meal and purple rice. read more

Get the jjusami! So good! We were two and unable to finish this dish- in fact I had leftover that's more than enough for one extra meal. We came hungry so it's easily another meal for two. I love that the sauce had the right amount of salt and sugar and not overly sweet. My experience with Korean food had always been on the sweeter side so this dish was perfect for someone who doesn't prefer overly sweet food. The amount of meat and octopus were also super generous. We came on a Friday evening around 6:30 and the wait was quick. I saw that most tables had more than 4 people and it makes sense as the sharing portion was huge. Service was also really good. You order the food on the iPad. Will come back ! read more

Food was the best Korean food we had in Seattle. We are from Hawaii and think we got pretty good Korean food at Hawaii. Service was awesome. Everyone was friendly and helpful! The restaurant reminded me of a old restaurant we had in Honolulu Called Sorabol. That was our go to Korean restaurant. Definitely will be back ! read more

Ambiance: Casual. We heard it might be busy with 20+ min wait time over the weekend. We went on a holiday weekend on a Saturday around 1pm with no wait. They seated our group of 4 fairly instantly and had plenty of seats left. Service: quick and friendly. Checked in on us periodically and did not rush us. Very nice. They do charge extra for takeout containers so bring your own if you wish. Food: The soft tofu stew was very solid! The banchan options are plentiful and free refills are provided. I appreciated that hot tea was included in the price of our meal. I also had the kalbi tang which is a beef short rib soup. The broth was not the very best I've had but it was still very excellent. There was a generous portion of beef in the kalbi tang as well. read more

One of my favorite Korean restaurants. For me, a Korean restaurant is only as good as their banchan and this place never misses. Each entree is served w/ purple rice, barely tea, and of course (unlimited) banchan. They have plenty of seating, but the place gets busy and noisy quickly. We arrived around 5PM on a Wednesday and there was no wait, but the restaurant began to be busy an hour later. There is compact parking in front of the restaurant, but more spots available to the side of the lot. We ordered: Soft Tofu Stew - I love the kimchi they serve. Their kimchi is a little more spicy and pungent than what other restaurants serve, but that is exactly how it should be. Yukgaejang - A hearty and nourishing soup. Plenty of broth, beef, and leafy vegetables to even take home afterwards (you can see with the depth of the bowl). LA Kalbi & Pork Belly - Generous portions for the price. LA Kalbi was the favorite for the night, but pork bely was also just as good. Served on a hot platter it was nice that the meats remained warm even towards the end of meal. Tteok-Bokki - So so much. Wish there was more cheese added, but that is only because I have a low spice tolerance lol. We had plenty to take home afterwards so it's still a win. Items are on the pricier side, but great value considering the quality and how much is offered. Their kimchi is my favorite and honestly nothing compares to it. read more

Modoo Restaurant - Korean Near Me - Lynnwood, Washington

Dined 1/10/26 Went to Modoo with a few friends after a recommendation to check it out. Modoo did not disappoint. It was a Saturday night, so the place was slammed. We used the kiosk to put our name on the waiting list. We waited about 30 minutes until we were sat. Once at the table the service was very quick. You order on a tablet and they bring it out to you as it's ready. Paid at the very end of the meal. We ordered the chicken wings, both original and spicy. We also got the Tteok-Bokki for an appetizer as well. For the entree we all split one of the big plates, the Kalbi Jjim. Everything we ate was delicious. It was my first time trying Tteok-Bokki and now I'm a big fan. The restaurant was busy, but nice inside and accommodating. They even had mouth wash in the bathrooms . I didn't use any, but hey, it's there. Overall, definitely recommend trying it out. read more

Food: Tofu Stone Pot Bibimbap (4/5): Good, solid tofu with a savory and well-balanced mix of vegetables. One of the better bibimbaps I've had. Vegetable Pancake (4/5): Thick, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Very satisfying. Ambiance: A decent-sized restaurant that works well for mixed groups. Service (4/5): Very attentive and patient throughout the meal. Overall, a reliable and enjoyable Korean spot that I'd happily visit again. read more

Service was great and the place offers large variety of Korean cuisine. The place was packed for lunch time and must mean there are some popular items on the menu that keeps the crowd filing the place. Banchan was good but Tofu Soul ordered was about average quality compared to the region. Others must have been eating something else. Wanted to order bbq as well but was told no combo meals served on weekends. read more

Once you ger seated, you order your food through an ipad. Simple and easy. Price will be a little more expensive but great portion size to share with friends and family. The tteokbokki was huge! Honestly one of the biggest tteokbokki appetizers I've ever been served. Definitely go for the version with cheese. It usually comes with glass noodles sitting at the bottom, which adds a really nice texture and makes the dish feel even more satisfying. Highly recommend this dish if you love tteokbokki with a twist! The spicy pork bulgogi here is absolutely fantastic. The meat is tender, perfectly marinated, and has just the right balance of heat and sweetness. Each bite has a rich depth of flavor, and the portion size is generous. Paired with purple rice and six side dishes. The Korean grilled mackerel was decent, and it was a good portion size and the fish was cooked well, with a nice crispy skin. However, the flavor was a bit too fishy for my taste, even with the seasoning. It's a solid option if you really enjoy strong seafood flavors, but it wasn't my favorite dish on the menu. Remember spines and bones are still attached so be careful when eating it. read more

Nice variety of Korean dishes on their menu and each order can be customizable as well from spice level to the type of protein. Their tofu soup was perfect for a cold, rainy day. I think spice is slightly lower than expected. As someone who has a low spice tolerance I think I could've gone for a regular! Their jjusami was the perfect shareable size for 4 people. We even took home leftovers because there was so much. Service was attentive. Frequently coming by to refill hot tea and water along with making sure everything tasted ok. read more

Oh man, top notch customer service. The staff were obviously trained extremely well with a customer forward culture. They all were super efficient but very warm. (Which I'm sorry to say is rare in Korean restaurants!). Now onto the food! They have the best kimchi soondooboo soup! The kalbi and pork belly were excellent. The side dishes were high quality and instantly filled. Our seafood pancake was so yummy and not too doughy like some other places. My mother in law has two things she always wishes for and Korean restaurants never have this - 1) hot tea without having to ask for it and 2) purple rice!! She got both here!! If there is one minor thing we have as a suggestion. The pork belly was a bit thick. I could see why as you don't want too thin of a slice. I wish there was a bit of extra char on it but that's personal preference. Pro tip: go right at opening! The places fills up very quickly. Because they are so efficient, we actually got in and out in one hour. We'll be back!!!! Management if you're reading this, kudos to your stellar staff! read more

Never been to a Korean BBQ place where you dont cook your own meat. This spot had a long line and I totally understand why. Service was pleasant and efficient, and the dishes came out in quicker succession than expected. The pork belly was perfectly crisped and tender at the same time. Savory galbi, loved the toasted rice in the dolsot bibimbap, and the veggie pancake was light. Casual ambiance, suitable for families, date night, dinner with friends, and any other time you're hungry. Also kinda liked I didn't smell like cooked meat when we left. read more

I came here with my family on a pretty busy weekend evening but surprisingly got seated very quickly. There were cups of tea upon seating. There's minimal service - you order on a tablet that's mounted at the table. There is no info about if the dish comes with rice or not. You have to flag down the server for more refills on the bonchon if you want refills. Tea was refilled only once during the whole dinner service. I got the seafood pancake, beef bulgogi, grilled mackerel, and LA galbi. This was plenty of food for four of us. The mackerel was a big fish and had a crispy but moist interior, the bulgogi was a big portion and marinated very well, and the seafood pancake was crispy and came with a dipping sauce. The star of the show was LA Galbi, which was SO tender and marinated so well. This is probably the best LA Galbi I've had so far in Washington. However, the LA Galbi took forever to come out to the table. We kept asking the server if it was coming as we saw other tables getting their orders and we were making a good dent into our other dishes. They kept reassuring us that it was coming. We had finally finished eating all of our other food and were purely waiting for the LA Galbi. The server asked us if we were done with the meal and we told them, again, that we were waiting for the Galbi. They finally checked with the kitchen and told us they had missed our order but can give it to us in 10 mins. Fine, we waited and got refills on bonchon. It finally came out shortly after. When the check came, the server didn't offer us any sort of compensation despite the hiccup. It's one thing if we hadn't said anything about it until the end, but we were repeatedly asking them where our dish was and they were blindly telling us it was coming. The service was truly disappointing, but the food itself would be 5/5. read more

I live in Federal way (where I would argue has a pretty competitive korean food scene to lynnwood) but I think Modoo is my favorite korean restaurant to date. Had been hearing about it for sometime and finally got to go, the hype was real for me! It hit all the marks for me in terms of a cozy, wooden interior + clean space + ample customers, and most importantly, really delicious traditional food! We did go during off peak hours so I'm sure the wait gets long but thankfully we got seated right away for an early dinner. Gamja tang was so good, I'd get it again but now I wanna try all the other dishes first. The side dishes were all flavorful and complemented each other well. Can't wait to make the trek to Modoo again! read more

Really loved it here! Recently it feels like Kalbi is too sweet and not traditional enough, but not here. The ginger and garlic truly shine through on the Kalbi! We got the Kalbi and Kimchi tofu soup lunch combo and it was fantastic! The kimchi tofu soup was really tasty. They give you an egg to break in it and I don't feel like my egg fully cooked so do so at your own risk, but I ate every last drop and it was incredible! The banchans (side dishes) really shined as well! Really quality and full of flavor! The waiter was really kind! I messed up the order on the iPad and he fixed it right away! It's super busy but organized. We came on a weekday for lunch and only waited for 5-10 minutes. read more

I took my friend here for her birthday brunch last month on a Sunday. We met there right after the restaurant opened at 11am and were able to get a table easily. You order from a tablet at your table. The place is pretty roomy and spacious. There were K-pop videos playing on a large screen. We ordered the Japchae to start which are glass noodles with vegetables and beef. It was tasty but I got only one small piece of beef. For $17, I expected more. I ordered the Grilled Mackerel that comes with Banchan (assorted appetizers/little sides) and rice. It was fried perfectly. Definitely a winning dish. It was a large fish so I took some home. My friend ordered the Soft Tofu Stew (spicy) with Beef and she liked it. It was a generous dish and she took some home. Staff were super friendly and very efficient. The vibe here is upbeat and relaxed. Overall, I had a great experience and my friend enjoyed her birthday brunch. I will be back to try more dishes in the future! read more

Finally we have a delicious Korean/Chinese restaurant in Lynnwood. I have been looking for one since the couple I have been to (won't mention names) have gone downhill. Every time I have visited it's been good service, good setting and food. My thoughts on the food... Fried sweet and sour pork (my favvvveee): crispy, but cooked inside/juicy. Sauce isn't super sweet but just right Sweet and spicy chicken: very convenient it's boneless, still very juicy and crunchy at the same time, flavor is perfect Seafood platter black bean noodles: so good for. Party - can feed 5+ people. I ordered this for a party and still had leftovers. There is plenty of seafood and sauce - so good. read more

We came on Friday around 4:15 PM, just after it opened at 4, so there was no line and we were able to park right in front of the store. We ordered using a tablet, and the food came out quickly. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The chicken wings, Bossam, and Seol-Long-Tang were all absolutely delicious! The restaurant was spacious and clean, with some private rooms available. I know they usually have long lines during peak dinner hours, so I was glad we got to enjoy our meal while it was still quiet. Overall, great food and great value! read more

Came in for Saturday around lunch time and wait around 10 minutes for a table but was seated quickly afterwords. We ordered 4 dishes to split amongst 4 people and enjoyed each one. My surprise standout was definitely the soondubu, which I've had multiple times across Seattle, but here found it to have a more full and flavorful broth. Our seafood pancake was also very filling, and our bulgogi was also very popular. I'd definitely come back again with a good party of folks for a good time. read more

I got to revisit Modoo this past weekend and I was reminded just how good the food was here. It is definitely the best Korean restaurant in the area. The place is always packed with people for a reason and I love that it feels like a neighborhood gem. They have an electronic ordering system for each table, so you can just place your order right when you sit down. I got to try the Jjusami with cheese fried rice, mixed soondubu, galbitang, and seafood pancake which was plenty of food to feed 4. The jjusami was so flavorful and pairs perfectly with rice. It's $50, but is definitely meant to be shared between at least 3 people. Their seafood pancake is so perfectly crispy. I'd definitely get it everytime I come back. They also give out free barely tea, and the service is attentive enough to refill it throughout the meal. I still do think the restaurant as a whole is a little pricey, but I'll definitely continue to visit. read more

This is one of my go to spots when I am craving Korean food. The service is always top-notch. The ambience is not as bright but has a bunch of tables and it's very spacious. They recently added a tablet to each table so that the customers can place their own orders through the app. The app, itself is a bit confusing if you have never used it before at Modoo. Once you placed your order through the app, a waiter will come and bring the Banchans and drinks, etc. I love the banchans that they provide here. It all tastes fresh and made in house. We ordered appetizers to start. We ordered the seafood pancake, vegetable pancake, and one order of fried dumplings. All the appetizers came out hot and crispy. I would highly recommend these pancakes to share with the table. For entrées, we opted out to ordering our own. I ordered the sondobu tofu soup with beef (mild) and short ribs to share. The entrées come with purple rice. My favorite is the sondobu tofu because it's so flavorful and delicious. The short ribs are really good as well and flavorful. read more

I have heard of Modoo in Lynnwood for a long time. It is one of the OG Korean places that are frequented by Koreans and East Asians alike. Arriving at about 7:30, I learned the hard way that there is always a wait -- so hungry... They are sooooo popular. Luckily, staying in the waiting area and not giving up helped. Other parties on the waitlist did not return, so the wait reduced from an estimate of 45 min to an hour down to 30 min. Quite reasonable. On the day I went, I heard more Mandarin and Cantonese than Korean spoken in the restaurant. Towards the back, they have a semi-private area to handle a large party. Food is ordered via a tablet. Service and food were swift once we had a table. They refilled water and banchan expeditiously. The server team worked very well collaborating across tables. I was plenty impressed watching their dynamic and gave positive feedback to the manager. Other than the table and the ordering tablet being a bit sticky, it was an excellent meal with fair prices and good service. The Food: LA Kalbi, $32 - 5 Stars This is hubby's favorite Korean meat dish. Theirs is served sizzling on a hot platter. The pieces are meaty and generous for the price. He was hungry and polished off all the food. Chicken Wings, 6 pc, $10 - 4.5 Stars I wasn't planning to order wings, but when I saw they are charging $10 for six pieces. I was like - sign me up! Their "spicy" is the typical yangnyeom flavor - sweet and spicy. Excellent wings and well flavored. Seafood Pancake, $22 - 4.5 Stars Their version is a little uglier than others, not quite rounded. I rather like the imperfect look to show it was hand made to order. I also prefer extra crispy and brown toasty edges. Theirs fit the bill. Packed with scallions, squid, and shrimps, and more, this was a satisfying haemul pajeon. Soft Tofu Stew with Seafood, $17 - 4 Stars Soft pillowy tofu and plenty of seafood are delivered simmering, bubbling in broth. My odd complaint - there wasn't that much tofu in this bowl. With so much broth and plenty of other food ordered, I took most of this home and made two more meals by adding soft tofu. Still a winner. Banchan, $0, refillable - 5 Stars For the true Korean food eaters, banchan makes or breaks a meal. Side dishes are the unspoken queen of the meal offering varying flavors to complement the hot bubbling soups or sizzling meats. They offer six varieties - spinach, radish, potato salad, kimchi, fish cakes, and acorn jelly (a rare offering in restaurants but common in households). They were all well prepared and delicious. Yum. read more

I've enjoyed everything I've eaten here. Standouts include the seafood pancake, army stew, and octopus stir fry. The pancake is stuffed full with filling and crispy + delicious dipping sauce, the army stew gave us enough leftovers for 2 days, and the octopus is special bc they use whole tiny octopus. The banchan spread is also solid. Service is good despite it always being busy. My favorite Korean spot in the Seattle area read more

Was this delicious? Absolutely. Was it pricey? Also yes. Speed and service? Great. We ordered the Kalbi jjim which was $75, and added on the cheese & rice (+$6) as well. It was accompanied by a variety of side dishes. The quality of the food was amazing. The kalbi meat fell off the bone. The sauce was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, loaded with a number of veggies like sweet potato, squash, mushrooms, and some ddeokboki. For the price, I'll admit I assumed the portion size would be double. But the quality is undisputed. After finishing the meat and veggies, they use the sauce to stir in the rice and top it with cheese. The cheese + rice was 100% worth the add on. My only (small) gripe is that I wish the side dishes were delivered before the main dish so we could enjoy them while we waited. We arrived on Friday night around 7:30pm. Our table was ready by around 8pm with 2 steaming cups of corn silk tea and a sippy cup of water for our baby. We ordered on the tablet ordering system on the table, and food arrived at 8:20pm. The staff was extremely efficient and quick to respond when we called them via tablet. When I asked why the Kalbi jjim was so expensive, they shared that the dish uses an expensive cut of meat and is originally a "fancy" dish in Korea. I'm excited to come back to try another dish next time! read more

It's Korean comfort food. And that's so true. I would recommend doing family style over there to try as many different dishes.

Braised short ribs were okay, but I prefer Daeho's recipe. If I don't feel like driving to Bellevue, I'll consider coming here. It's a very casual joint with friendly servers; I feel comfortable coming here wearing gym clothes. Did not like their seafood pancake or cheesy kimchi fried rice. read more

This place is a hidden gem. One of the best Korean food we have tried. Expect wait time. We waited around 30 mins to be seated. Once seated they are pretty fast in getting the food over to you. We got their Tteokbokki and Seafood Hotpot. Both the dishes were very good with good portion size. The highlight of this restaurant is their friendly staff and great service. The place is usually crowded mainly due to the good food. Overall definitely one of the best Korean restaurants in the area and we will definitely visit again. read more

Modoo is a popular Korean spot located in Lynwood with a large shared parking lot, which is always a plus. I went for dinner on a Friday night and waited about ~20 ish minutes for a table. They only have tables for 4, so it isn't any faster of a wait even if you have a small party. Pricing wise, it's a little steep, but standard for Korean food, though I heard from a friend that even just a year ago the prices were a lot lower. You order everything via an iPad and you can even request side refills and extra napkins through it, though they do have plenty of staff walking around and happy to help. Spicy Kalbi Jjim w/ Cheese (4.25/5): Be warned, this will drop you an eye popping $75 and will feed 2 people. Cheese is an extra $3, which is a little steep, but a must-have for this dish though I would have liked even more of it. Overall, I was really impressed with the flavor of the sauce, definitely one of my favorites. The meat could definitely be a bit more tender, which is why the score isn't higher. Vegetables were all a bit too firm and needed to be cooked just tad more. read more

We were craving Korean spicy squid and found this place on Yelp, only to realize when we arrived that they served octopus instead. We ordered the pork belly and octopus stew with cheese, along with a beef tofu soup on the side. The flavors were good overall, but the execution didn't quite work for us. The beef in the tofu soup tasted like the thin frozen slices commonly sold at Asian grocery stores, with a noticeable frozen-meat flavor rather than the taste of fresh beef. The biggest issue was the octopus--it was extremely chewy, to the point where each piece took a long time to eat, and we ended up leaving most of it on the plate after trying one piece each. The pork belly was cut into large chunks and could have benefited from being sliced smaller and cooked a bit crispier. Service was friendly and the food arrived promptly, but despite enjoying the seasoning and overall flavor profile, the textures just weren't our preference. In the end, it wasn't a bad meal, just not quite our cup of tea. read more

My friends and I went here yesterday around 6:30, and fortunately, there was no wait, so we could sit right away. We ordered the gopchang hot pot, and I absolutely loved it. The portion was generous, perfect for three people to share. There was also a good amount of gopchang, and it wasn't too salty or bland; it was just right. We added udon, which was fabulous and paired perfectly with the gopchang hot pot. I'd say this restaurant never disappoints. I've tried the Gamja hot pot and bossam here before, and they were both excellent. The ambiance was clean, and I loved the music they played! it wasn't too loud and was just right:) The restroom was also very clean. The service was great as well. They were friendly and attentive!

If you come on a Friday for dinner or a weekend, expect to wait a while but it's totally worth it! Servers are super quick and efficient, always excellent service.

This place is a hidden gem! Thanks to Yelp, we got to experience this place. First of all, this restaurant is so clean and high tech! You can do all your ordering through their tablet at each table. We were even able to request more napkins through the tablet. Bathroom was even crazy clean with no clutter (which I expected from your typical korean restaurant). We ordered the 6 piece chicken wings, japchae & beef bulgogi. Banchan came with everything of course. Banchan was on the simple side, nothing really stood out. But the japchae was amazing and tasted so fresh. The wings could have been more crispier, but flavor was amazing! Slighty spicy and sweet. The bulgogi was a decent amount with jalapenos! How unique and tasted amazing. Highly recommend this place! Can't wait to come back and try other dishes! read more
