SORIMMARA

Third time dining in here and I swear it used to be better. Noodles used to be dry (now they are in water seems like so they can weigh more and therefore charge for them more. Why would you put noodles in water since they are gonna be boiled in the end? Don’t think I will end up returning.

Build your own hot pot from a variety of vegetables, noddles, meats, and seafood; which then gets weighed, followed by a choice of broths or stir fry. The result is a deliciously satisfying meal, with plenty in the way of leftovers. Their Korean style chicken wings are a must have; crispy and scrumptious. Service is quick and efficient.

I like the rose malatang soup! Creamy with a nice touch of spicy goes well with the toppings. Cilantro comes at an extra $2, and min of 1lb excluding broth. There are a lot of food selection for you to customize your bowl, but not as many as other malatang places, and no tong-ho

Sorimmara in Federal way is a very unassuming building. It is a very different style of typical restaurant where you get seated and get a menu. When you enter you grab a large metal bowl and help yourself to any vegetable and meat. You pay by weight of what you put in your bowl. They take your bowl and ask you what flavor of broth and spice level you want. They bring it to you also with whatever you order after they cook it in the kitchen. The food is wonderful with amazing flavor and variety. The staff are very friendly and respectful as well making sure to ask about different options and so helpful. My only complaint is the coldness in the restaurant. It was uncomfortably cold where I just couldn’t relax and truly enjoy the food without thinking of how cold I was. And not a huge issue but the chairs felt like you were sitting in outdoor plastic chairs. Overall the food and staff definitely made up for the shortcomings of atmosphere.

Supppeerrr goood!!! So flavorful and huge portion, absolutely delicious! Andrea at the front counter was the sweetest and very helpful.

Went on a Thursday evening and was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t have a long line. My girlfriend the soup and loved it. She chose spice level 3 and was in tears eating it. Lol! I got the stirfried malatang, spice level 2, and it was perfect. We both love spicy food. Lots of options for the ingredients. Will be back for sure! Nice meal for a cold rainy night.

I saw the other reviews and we had high expectations but we were disappointed. This isn’t really MaLa. It was just ok to be honest and for the price it’s not anything to write home about to be honest and the service was good overall but they weren’t very knowledgeable.

This is a ridiculous size Guobaoruo. How come the shoreline and Federal Way Guobaorou sizes are different? This is more than twice the difference The first picture is I Federal way and second is shoreline I ordered both 8ps small one I’m Korean and live in Bellevue which is between Federal Way/shoreline. So I wanted to try Federal Way one because my boyfriend lives there so I went there last week and pork Guobaorou was way smaller than I thought but I was just thinking maybe it’s Americanized so could be small. But I went to the shoreline store last night with my friends and Guobaorou was way bigger than the Federalway store one Like normal Korean Guobaorou size. And I realized the Federal Way store has a problem. It doesn’t make sense that you guys open at pretty same time both store and training. It was a small dish for two ppl in Federal Way one and the shoreline was bigger for 3ppl we even had to Togo for Guobaorou. How come it’s a different size? If other states? Maybe a different price is understandable but it’s the same state. Just one hour for the store. I’m really upset and I won’t go to the Federal Way store again. You gotta fix it.
