My boyfriend and I stopped by here after a long drive from Kent as we are staying at a nearby hotel…read morefor a convention and it was pretty late so most places were closed. I had Dawa on my bookmarks for a long time ever since I saw videos about it and just the overall good reviews. We came in and saw that the place was pretty packed on a Thursday night but we were noticed quickly by a male employee and seated right away thankfully. Once we were seated, we were handed water and utensils as well as directions on how we can order as they have a small kiosk. We put in our order of galbi fried chicken, pork on the bone stew or gamjatang, and grilled pork belly. Once the order was entered, our waiter came back with rice, banchan, sauces and accompaniments for the pork belly, salad (think it comes with the grilled pork belly), pickled radish for the chicken and plates and bowls to share. It didn't take too long for food to come back but it didn't all come together which was odd but luckily the chicken was for sharing. The gamjatang was huge and pretty good, not as good as one of my favorite places in Federal Way but I will admit that they do give some huge pieces of meat and offer a one time refill of the soup. It could use more of a kick and more seasoning. The chicken as many others have mentioned was extremely well-fried, marinated and extremely huge. I do think they have the biggest Korean fried chicken pieces that I have ever seen in Washington. The meat was juicy, the outside was crunchy, and the sauce was heavenly. My boyfriend did say the grilled pork belly was some of the best he has ever had in his life, which is super high praise and I will admit that it is very good as well! They had an interesting playlist ranging from K-pop to regular pop (lots of Justin Bieber) and sometimes they would tone it down a bit then start blasting it. The two male servers working that day (7/16/26) were fantastic about checking in at perfect times, were courteous and refilled our waters. We never had to use to kiosk to call them once which I appreciated very much. My boyfriend and I look forward to coming back and definitely want to give a heads up that their portions are huge so come hungry!

Seems like more of a social hangout spot for late night eating and or drinking. If you want a nice quiet dinner, this isn't the spot. My group and I ordered the Korean fried chicken and the kimchi pancake to start. The appetizers didn't take that long to come out. Everything came out hot and fresh. The chicken was standard fried chicken size and came with 10 pieces. It came with 2 pieces of drumsticks and the rest were chicken thighs. The kimchi pancake was super crispy. We also ordered the beef tofu soup and the chicken bulgogi entree. The tofu soup was a lot - it did not come with an egg unlike other spots. The chicken entree was flavorful overall.

The chicken is a bit dry and the fry doesn't stay crispy at all. The Creamy Onion sauce is surprisingly very tasty so it made the chicken a lot better- I would come here just for this. On the other hand, I could pass on the Sweet & Spicy sauce because it was on the blander side. We also got the Rose Tteokkbokki which I really enjoyed! It's flavorful, creamy, and overall well balanced. I just wish it came with more sauce. We got surprised by a Jinro mascot and team in the middle of our meal- they were taking shots of a new lemon flavored soju with every table. It was so much fun and I even got a free t-shirt. Totally unexpected but loved it haha! While this isn't my favorite spot for Korean fried chicken, I do see myself coming here again for specific things.

I opted for a bulgogi beef bowl w/everything except the sweet mashed potatoes & got to choose between 5 or 6 sauces. I went with a sweet and spicy variation. Everything was really good, every bite was a nice combination of savory sweet and spicy & had good textured bites throughout. The bowl will cost you $15.50 before tax & doesn't come with a drink so be prepared to spend $20/person for a decent meal. However, the portion you get is really two servings so I think it's worth it.

I considered giving only 4 stars, solely based on the wait time on my last visit (a tick over 20…read moreminutes). But I took in consideration the folks ahead of me and the fact that the food I received was just out of the fryer hot, so definitely cooked to order, no heat lamps. Definitely give yourself more time if you are hoping to eat here before catching a movie at the AMC. Anyhoo, I discovered this place last year, and since then whenever we were in the area (mostly for movies since I really don't do the mall thing) this has been my go to when I get the hunger. That first time I ordered a chicken sammy since I was curious how it would compare to Popeye's. Now, while the Popeye's chicken sammy has been my favorite since forever and I think the best of all fast food, my first Seoul Bowl chicken sammy blew it out of the water. That's saying a lot because I love Popeye's chicken sammy (still do). But the Seoul Bowl sammy was so good! CRISPY, JUICY chicken,Korean sauce and slaw, nice warm soft bun, the flavors! Yeah, mos def took the number 1 spot on my chicken sammy list. The only thing that would've put a sammy like that over the top for me is if they used dark meat, but few if any places do that. It's all about the white breast meat. I digress. Another positive, the ordering process using the touch menus. Very easy, intuitive and able to customize. So it was nice that my son, who doesn't like veggie's or the spicy, can enjoy the sammy as well w/o the stuff I think help make it so good. Service was nice, polite and spot on with the orders as far as food court workers go. As opposed to the kids working behind the counter who always look like they would rather be somewhere else, finger blasting their phones and the phrase "customer service" isn't in their job description. Check out the kids at Auntie Anne's for example. Again, I digress. As for the atmosphere and area, well, it's the mall food court, but I can say they kept their area clean, stocked and entertained with vid screens of Korean K-pop and what not. So definitely relevant. Unlike going to a Japanese restaurant once and on the TV was WWE wrestling? Digressing again....As for other food, I can only speak to what my son and wife had, which were wings and Korean bowl. I tried both and I can honestly say, same goodness. The Korean fried chicken wings were nice, CRISPY, JUICY and FLAVORFUL. I would say definitely better than most places that claim to specialize in wings, say Buffalo Wild Wings, Wing Dome Seattle, I've even been to the Anchor Bar in Buffalo NY-Home of the original Buffalo Wings, and I would say the wings I had at Seoul Bowl are just as good...if not a better. The Korean bowl had good presentation with lots of flavor and was filling. Not just a mound of rice and strategically placed toppings to make it look like it's covered, but a nice ratio of rice to toppings to make it a meal. If I wasn't stuck on the chicken sammy I'd eat that. Oh! and we've also had the Bulgogi Kimchi cheese fries! Now that was definitely something different, and so very, very good. Just have to eat it fast unless you like soggy fries. Made to share, so if you order a sammy, don't get the meal (meal comes w/fries), just the sammy. Otherwise it might be too much food. But is there such a thing? We'll have to give the other locations a try to see if it's consistent. But for now, the Alderwood location is our go to!

Photos litter the walls, including a few of the owner if you know who to look for, of all the hockey greats. Some real salad on display in places. A few famous sticks are enshrined out front, and there's some relics here and there that tie the whole place together. Tables are a mix of booths, high tops, low tops, and bar seating. It's got The Vibe. The brews: wide selection. I'm a cider drinker but they had something for me. Their beer selection is almost all local except for the small handful of "if we didn't, we'd have a fight break out." Served right, in nicely cleaned glass, by someone who gives a damn about pouring it right. The meat: soft, tender ribs that fall off the bone. Brisket that is juicy but just firm enough. Burgers that hit harder than Larry Zeidel. If you have a big appetite you'll be fine. Otherwise, you'll have some left over for tomorrow. The sides: none of this KD quality Mac and cheese, it's home made and loose. Everything is made in house from some old recipe in some grange cookbook and sacre de calisse it's good. The potato salad is chunky like it should be. The beans ... oh the beans... perfection. The sauces: sweet isn't too sweet, hot ain't too hot, tastes like there's some good molasses and a bit of Pepsi in there somewhere. The meats don't come sauced so you get to pick exactly how much you want or how little. The meat might stand on its own, but the sauces are a harmony in the song. The poutine: **fuck me, lord** this is some of the best poutine in the state. My partner spent a hot minute in Quebec and he gushes over it. The gravy is made from drippings, it has to be I swear. You could make a meal out of just some poutine and a bit of meat. Split three ways it's still a powerful appetizer. Smooth gravy, crisp double-set fries, fresh curds... Criss d'ostie de câlisse de tabarnak, I'm in heaven. Oh and the service is amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, on time, attentive, and genuinely kind.

Overall, the chicken was surprisingly still crispy as we took it home (10-12 minute drive) so bonus points for that. I think the cost of extra sauce was kind of pricy too but my husband loves his sauce and so do I. It wasn't the worst experience I'd say compared to the other reviews, however expect to wait awhile! We ordered first and went inside HMart to get beer but still waited another 15-20 minutes for our chicken.
