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

*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!

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!

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.

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!

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!!

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

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.

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!

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.

While I haven't been to the original in Korea, the LA spots are my go-to favorites, so I'm comparing this new Lynnwood location to that experience. ​The interior here is great--open, inviting, and perfect for first-timers. The service was excellent, and like the LA locations, they handle the grilling for you (a premium touch you don't always find at local KBBQ spots). The menu and pricing are very similar to what you'd expect from the brand. ​I did notice a slight dip in food quality compared to LA. The meat there tends to be leaner, the seasoning is a bit more refined, and they are much more proactive about swapping out the grill plate between different cuts of meat. That said, chain standards are usually highest in LA, so that's a tough comparison. ​Overall, it's still a fantastic experience. If you're a first-timer or comparing it to other options in the Lynnwood area, I definitely recommend giving Baekjeong a try!

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.
