"Modoo Banjeom in Lynnwood (with a second location in Bothell) is a noodle house that offers a variety of Korean-Chinese specialties. Silky, chewy, wheat noodles feature in a few versions of jjamppong, with the classic seafood version sporting a slightly spicy and smoky broth from gochugaru chili powder. Also popular is jajangmyeon, in which the noodles are topped with stir-fried pork and fermented black bean sauce. This is also a place to try yangjangpi as a shared starter, a refreshing platter of chewy potato starch noodles, seafood, and vegetables that get mixed with a spicy mustard sauce." - Jay Friedman

"Modoo is a popular Lynnwood destination for Korean food with a homey feeling and friendly service. The seafood pancake is thick and yet crispy, an excellent choice as a starter. Popular dishes here include any of the kalbijjim (short rib stew) options, cold pork trotter (served with spicy peanut mustard sauce), and army stew (a mixed meat hot pot with kimchi and vegetables), but don’t overlook the jjusami: stir-fried seasoned webfoot octopus, pork belly, and vegetables. Leave a little on the plate for your server to take back to the kitchen to incorporate into a nori-topped fried rice." - Jay Friedman, Eater Staff

If you're planning a visit to Modoo, definitely keep in mind that the portions are generous! If you're going with a smaller group, you might not need to order too many dishes—though with everything tasting so delicious, it's tempting to try it all. The service is impressively quick; we got our food in no time after ordering. Just a heads-up: they don't take reservations, so if you’re going on a busy evening like Friday around 7pm, expect a bit of a wait for a table. The crowd tends to lean towards teenagers and families, which gives it a lively atmosphere. Overall, a great spot, but pace yourself with the food orders!

I’ve been coming here several times already. Went on a Friday around 5, and it was easy to get a table for two. I love their Jjusami and soft tofu stew. Never goes wrong with those, both are so tasty! The side dishes are also great. The service is great and very attentive. Kalbi Jim is okay. Tasty, but I wish it was softer as it’s a bit hard to chew and cut with a spoon and fork. I prefer the version at Daeho. They’ve also nearly doubled the price from last year, but still a great place overall.

Busy busy busy. No rez, almost always a wait during dinner rush. Excellent food and banchan. Service is attentive. They’re great at standards and also hotpot. Hotpot is very generously portioned! Plenty of parking and right on 99.

Pretty good food and great service. There are a lot of options here for everyone. The restaurant is pretty big so there is plenty of seating. The staff was great, very responsive and patient for those who may have dietary restrictions.

This place had really good korean food. The service was good except for the fact that I felt like as soon as they thought I was fine eating they kept trying to rush me out of there which is why I gave them a two star for service. The atmosphere was nice, clean, family friendly, and it had private rooms for dinner party's. I would recommend this place if you're looking for quality delicious Korean food, but if you're looking to take your time eating you might want to find a different Korean restaurant.

Our visit on Saturday at 6pm encountered a 45-minute wait, but it was well worth it. The servings were generously sized and of high quality. Jjusami is a standout dish, not to be missed. What’s more, after enjoying its contents, you have the option to request fried rice made with the remaining sauce, adding a delightful ending to the meal.

Had the Jjusami and it was absolutely delicious & the tofu soup! The Jjusami was a lot of food (imo) and enough to share between 2 people for sure! The service was really good and the restaurant was popping and we got in without a reservation, but I could tell it was a popular place cause there was a line outside when walked out.

My favorite Korean restaurant. They serve tea with your food. Is always busy so don't go if you're in a rush. The portions are enough for two people who eat with modesty, but is better of you go as a group.
