You want seafood in Lynnwood, and you have options. You can score a prime rib that cuts like butter or defend the endless shrimp at a chain.

I have eaten my way through this stretch of 99 and beyond, from Korean fusion burritos packed with meat to a lobster roll that made me forget it was January. The poke bowls at Kuzma are the real deal.

The crab cakes at Anthony's came with a side of disappointment. Here is the list.

The Hook Seafood Broiler

Highlights
Wheelchair friendly with bar seating
Fresh, hot seafood platters
Clam chowder with red potatoes
Beignets with multiple dipping sauces
Clean with happy, friendly staff

The Hook Seafood Broiler gets the basics right. I sat at the bar and ordered the seafood platter. Everything came out hot and fresh. The clam chowder had red potatoes, which gave it a nice hearty texture. I also tried the beignets with multiple dipping sauces. That was a good call. The place is clean, and the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there. Wheelchair access is easy. No fuss, no pretension. Just solid seafood. I left full and satisfied. That is all I ask for.

Salt and Iron

Highlights
Oysters taste extra fresh
Menu keeps getting better
Great drinks and desserts
Beach walk nearby
Server comped our drinks

Salt and Iron keeps pulling me back. The oysters tasted extra fresh, like they came straight from the water. The menu keeps getting better with each visit. I had great drinks and a dessert that finished the meal properly. My server comped our drinks, which was a nice touch. After eating, I took a short beach walk nearby. That combination of good food and a view is hard to beat. The service is attentive without hovering. If you want oysters done right, this is your spot.

Chops lynnwood

Highlights
Korean fusion burritos are tasty
Large portions, plenty of meat
Bulgogi fries fresh and hot
Clean, cozy bench seating
Free parking available nearby

Chops Lynnwood surprised me. I walked in expecting a steakhouse, but the Korean fusion burritos are the real draw. They are tasty and packed with plenty of meat. The bulgogi fries came out fresh and hot, crispy on the outside and soft inside. Portions are large, so come hungry. The bench seating is clean and cozy, not cramped. Free parking is nearby, which matters in Lynnwood. It is not fancy, but it does not need to be. This is a casual spot that delivers flavor without the attitude.

Modoo Korean Restaurant

Highlights
Generous portions, easy to share
Blazing fast, attentive service
Crowd favorite: hotpot for groups
No reservations, busy dinner rush
Off-street parking right on 99

Modoo Korean Restaurant handles crowds well. I went during the dinner rush and still got seated fast. The service is blazing. Attentive without being annoying. The hotpot is the crowd favorite for good reason. It is generous and easy to share. Portions are large, so bring friends or plan for leftovers. No reservations, so expect a wait. I parked right on 99, which was easy. The food is comforting and the staff keeps things moving. A solid choice for Korean comfort food.

The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Lynnwood

Highlights
Prime rib cuts like butter
Friendly, accommodating service
Quick bar seating available
Solid steakhouse seafood options

The Keg Steakhouse in Lynnwood does steak right, but the seafood holds its own. I ordered the prime rib, and it cut like butter. The texture was perfect. For seafood, the options are solid, nothing adventurous, but well executed. The bar seating is quick if you do not want a formal table. Service was friendly and accommodating. They handled my requests without hesitation. It is a reliable chain, but the quality here is above the usual. If you want a safe bet with good service, this works.

Pier 88 Boiling Seafood & Bar Lynnwood

Highlights
Attentive, friendly standout service
Hot, well-seasoned seafood
Mistakes corrected without fuss
Chill, comfortable atmosphere
Reliable flavor, risky aftermath

Pier 88 Boiling Seafood is a mixed bag, but the good outweighs the bad. The service stood out. Attentive, friendly, and they fixed a mistake without any fuss. The seafood itself was hot and well-seasoned. That butter sauce does the job. The atmosphere is chill, comfortable for a casual meal. Be aware of the aftermath. Spicy food has consequences. You will feel it later. I still recommend it for the flavor. Just plan accordingly. Reliable taste, risky digestion.

Kuzma Fish Market LLC

Highlights
Fresh, traditional poke bowls
Great value for fish
Best sushi in Lynnwood
Friendly, helpful staff
Beautiful fresh catch selection

Kuzma Fish Market is where I go for sushi in Lynnwood. The poke bowls are traditional and fresh. The fish tastes like it was caught recently. The selection of fresh catch is beautiful. You can see the quality before you order. The value is great for the portion size. Staff are friendly and helpful, even when the line gets long. I have not had better sushi in this town. This is a market, not a fancy restaurant, but that is part of the charm. Simple and honest.

Red Lobster

Highlights
Endless shrimp value proposition
Surprisingly fresh-tasting shrimp
Well-executed garlic shrimp scampi
Crispy Walt’s Favorite Shrimp
Hot, salty Cheddar Bay Biscuits

Red Lobster gets a bad rap, but I will defend the endless shrimp. The value is unbeatable. The shrimp tasted surprisingly fresh, not frozen or rubbery. The garlic shrimp scampi was well-executed, with enough garlic to wake you up. Walt’s Favorite Shrimp came out crispy, exactly how it should be. And those Cheddar Bay Biscuits. Hot, salty, and buttery. I ate too many. Yes, it is a chain. But for a quick seafood fix, it does the job without embarrassing itself.

Anthony's HomePort Edmonds

Highlights
Pretty view.
Tasty crab cakes.
Nice waiter.
Slow service.
Cold crab meat.

Anthony's HomePort Edmonds has a pretty view. That is the best part. The crab cakes were tasty, well-seasoned and cooked right. My waiter was nice. But the service was slow. I waited too long for my food. Worse, the crab meat in one dish came out cold. That is a dealbreaker for seafood. The view almost saved it. Almost. For the price, I expect better timing and proper temperature. I will come back for the scenery, not the food. Disappointing.

MARKET Seafood Eatery

Highlights
Lobster roll and shrimp katsu
Warm outdoor seating in January
Fresh, flavorful chowder
Memorable seafood meals
Perfectly prepared sandwiches

MARKET Seafood Eatery is a gem in the rough. I had the lobster roll, and it was perfectly prepared. The shrimp katsu was equally good, crispy outside and tender inside. The chowder was fresh and flavorful, not thick or gloppy. I sat outside in January and stayed warm. That says something about the ambiance. These are memorable meals. Simple sandwiches, done right. I will return for the lobster roll alone. It beats anything I have had in Lynnwood recently.

장안설렁탕JangAn Sullungtang Lynnwood

Highlights
Friendly staff, delicious food
Best diced radish kimchi
Rich, balanced beef soups
Slow-simmered broth depth
Comforting and satisfying bowls

JangAn Sullungtang is all about the broth. I ordered a beef soup, and the depth of flavor was remarkable. Slow-simmered, rich but not heavy. The diced radish kimchi is the best I have had. Crunchy, spicy, and sour in perfect balance. The staff are friendly, and the food comes out fast. It is comforting and satisfying, especially on a cold day. If you want a warming bowl of clear broth, this is the place. No gimmicks, just good soup.

Q Sushi Bar & Kitchen

Highlights
Fresh broccoli stir fry
Attentive, friendly service
Worth returning for sushi
Busy nights, possible waits

Q Sushi Bar & Kitchen has one surprising standout: the broccoli stir fry. It was fresh, crisp, and not overcooked. That is rare. The sushi itself is worth returning for. I have tried several rolls, and they hold up. Service is attentive and friendly, even when the place gets busy. Expect possible waits on weekend nights. The place is small, but the energy is good. I have not found better sushi in this part of town. I will be back. Just maybe not on a Friday.
