Modoo Korean Restaurant 모두 식당

This is a local Korean spot in Lynnwood. We tried the bossam (steamed pork) - I really liked how they bring out the meat and you cook it at your table. The pork was sliced thickly and it tasted great with the fresh garlic and bean paste. Also tried the galbi tang. The portion size was good - there were 3 large pieces of galbi in the soup. I really liked the rice here. While it’s the classic Korean purple and white rice, it was cooked really well. It had a nice, chewy texture to it. I also liked the banchan here too - pretty standard, but it tasted fresh and you can also for refills. *update - would also recommend the beef galbi here. The galbi was amazing!! Would recommend making a trip out here for the food!

Highly recommend this place! There so much variety in their Korean food and it was all delicious! This place is pretty busy and often has a wait on the weekends, so you may want to get there early. My favorite item was the pork bulgogi. Some of the best I’ve had. Their side dishes were also well-made and balanced the entrees nicely. The kimchi pancake is LARGE. Like the size of a medium pizza. We also really enjoyed the ordering experience. Each table has a tablet that you order from. Staff is constantly bringing out food and refilling beverages, etc.

So happy we stumbled upon Moodoo after a brew at Peace of Mind brewery next door. We were served tea immediately as we sat down which we really enjoyed. After figuring out the ordering screen at the table we ordered two dishes and some rice balls. The dishes came quickly along with sides we didn't expect (we were rookies here) including more rice. Both of the dishes we ordered were delicious and large in size. The sides were all cold which surprised us a little, but again rookies. The tea kept on coming and the service was very friendly. All around a great experience.

One of my favorite restaurants! I come here about 3–4 times a month, and the food has always been really good. The place is usually busy, which shows how popular it is. Definitely worth coming back again.

The takeout I ordered was beef and tofu soup. The tofu was very soft and silky, the broth had just the right amount of spice, and everything was packed neatly in a clean container. The flavors were rich and comforting, and I enjoyed it so much that I’d say this restaurant is definitely in my personal Top 3 for Korean food. I’ll be coming back for sure!

Hands down the best Korean restaurant in Seattle area by far. This place is filled with customers and has a line even on weekdays. The presentation of dishes is great, the taste is fantastic, and the servers are super attentive. The portion for lunch specials is big, and it is a feast!
