"The menu is straightforward, and we were warmly welcomed at the door with excellent customer service throughout our meal. This restaurant specializes in dumplings and dumpling soup, along with a few other options, but it doesn’t feel overwhelming. Our food arrived promptly, and the quality was impressive. The staff regularly checked in on our table and other customers, striking a perfect balance that was truly appreciated. Whenever we needed more kimchi or water, it was provided quickly. While I’m not a broth connoisseur, I can definitely tell when it’s too salty, and that was not the case here. The interior is cozy yet clean, and there’s ample parking available right in front. The servers were also very helpful in explaining menu items to those who are new to the place. This isn’t our first visit, and it certainly won’t be our last. We’re happy to continue supporting this restaurant."

Affordable, convenient, and tasty dumplings! You can enjoy lunch for just $6 by getting two dumplings here. I've heard their cold noodles are fantastic as well, which I haven't had the chance to try yet, but I definitely plan to return. View menu

The food here is delicious, the service is excellent, and the setting is clean and comfortable. The people at this no-frills restaurant are all so kind and they just make really delicious food. My grandma always asks for the kimchee mandoo when she visits me, and the spicy cold noodles are my favorite. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner

The meat buns and fried dumplings here are excellent. I ordered takeout for lunch, and the price per person was around $20 to $30. I'd rate the food a solid 4 out of 5, with the same score for service, while the atmosphere gets a 3. I highly recommend trying the Pan Fried Dumplings, Fried Kimchi Pork Dumplings, Red Bean Dumplings, Pork Bun, and Kimchi Bun.

The dishes here are absolutely delicious! The dumplings were exceptional, as expected. I also tried the spicy cold noodles, and they were wonderful! Refreshing with a perfect blend of textures and a flavor I had never encountered before. The service was fantastic, and our food arrived quickly. Definitely worth the drive from Seattle!

I discovered this place a while ago when it was featured on K5 Evening Magazine, but I completely forgot about it until recently. On a trip from Seattle to Portland, we needed a quick bite and Daekbak Wang Mandoo came up as a nearby option. I'm so glad we took the short detour off I-5! Their pork buns and kimchi pork buns were absolutely delicious—soft, freshly steamed buns filled with flavorful meat and a satisfying crunch from the vegetables. They were perfect for eating in the car! I also ordered a dumpling noodle soup to go, which we enjoyed later; it was delicious and comforting on a chilly, rainy day. The service was fast and friendly, and we will definitely be back!

Located off the old highway in a small strip mall alongside other Korean businesses, this restaurant is a fantastic place to enjoy some 'authentic' and 'less common' Korean dishes (the quotes are my perspective as a non-Korean). The interior is quite simple, but the service is professional and friendly. Come here for the food rather than the ambiance. We tried four or five items from the relatively short menu, including cold kimchi noodles, seafood noodle soup, and fried kimchi dumplings, all of which were delicious and comforting. They also provided a complimentary small portion of hot soup to start, which alone is a great reason to visit. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the are...

"Decently maintained establishment with quick service, excellent hospitality, and large entrees which complimented the pricing.Opinion:Initially, I was skeptical about the establishment due to the higher prices for simple dishes. My sentiment didn't get much better after I left to wash my hands and noticed that a portion of the men's restroom was used as a storage or closet space. Also that the lighting appeared dim giving it an odd vibe.Returning to the table, we decided to over order since we were unsure of the portions and were afraid that food would be grossly overpriced, but to our shock, the food arrived extremely fast and the portions were well worth the pricing.Everything that we ordered tasted great, my only qualms were that (1) my poke bowl had too much lettuce and onions which I couldn't help but to think was to simply fill the bowl, (2) that the poke bowl probably should've come with a side of seaweed salad instead of lettuce salad since it already came with a healthy portion of it, and (3) that most menu items came with krab meat, or imitation crab, which is a bit of a turn off since it seems to lack authenticity.The breakdown of each category is as follows...Atmosphere:Excellent design and layout. The artwork, music, and aesthetics made for a very welcoming environment and complemented the style very nicely. Though, I do feel like the restrooms are due for an upgrade in lighting and style.Service:The staff was friendly, warm, and very aware of the needs of the customer. If we ever finished an item then they were there to clear the table of empty dishes without disrupting our meal.Food:Though the food may appear pricey, it's actually reasonable given the large quantity of meat that you are given in each roll. Don't be offset by the words 2 pieces in reference to the quantity of meat in each roll their two pieces are large, trust me on that one. To reiterate, we over ordered due to not understanding that the prices are high because they are double the portions that you would get anywhere else.I do feel like they tried to fluff up the poke bowl with lettuce, which was a bummer, but it did still have quite a bit of salmon in it, so I wasn't too upset.Also, I must note the food arrives extremely fast which is a huge bonus.Overall:It's a nice establishment, but the menu items aren't something that I will want to revisit often. I'll give it 4 stars since the food and service made up for the price, but I would like to see the few adjustments mentioned in my review before I ever think about a 5 star. But, with that said, I would still recommend Koharu to anyone who asks for a solid Japanese restaurant in the area."
