“This was my first time trying seoul bowl and I HIGHLY recommend it! There are so many options and flavors to choose from, you can really make it your own. The food itself is so delicious and filling but isn’t heavy. The staff running the truck are super nice too. I am sooo glad the food truck is in Kenmore weekly. Go check them out if you haven’t already. You’ll be glad you did“
“This is the only authentic Brazilian self-service restaurant I’ve ever been to in the US. Food is pretty good, service is not great, but staff is friendly. We usually wait a lot in line to get bbq meat during lunch time, but I think it’s better when it’s not crowded.“
“Top notch food with respect to both quality and taste. Very good selection of meats. Service could be a little better but they were doing well considering the number of guests, I read some of the negative comments before coming here to get my own feeling about this restaurant and think most of them were ridiculous. If you want cheap beef go to a burger place“
“I ordered half a pound of brisket, half a pound of spare ribs, hot and spicy sausages, and Mac & cheese to die for.? I’m all in!!Smoky brisket and ribs melt in your mouth. Everything is perfect and the Spicy BBQ sauce was Amazing!?There is a patio in the back, felt like we were in the countryside, looking at huge smoker grills.Highly Recommended!!“
“Wow! What an amazing array of authentic dishes. Loved my tea egg and plum juice. The food was so flavorful, spicy, fresh and so tasty! The menu “app” was easy to order from with photos and descriptions, if you weren’t familiar with menu items. Items were well priced as well. This is definitely on my list for every time I come to Seattle!“
“This place is amazing if you visit in person! We ordered once during the pandemic and wasn’t impressed, but decided to give it another try. We were not disappointed! The menu is pretty extensive. We ordered an assortment of skewers (our favorites were the pork belly, beef and fat, and chicken gristle) which were all nicely cooked and had great flavor. We also got a side of cold cucumbers which were refreshing and slightly tart / sweet and the spicy rice noodles. My husband loved the noodles which were very comforting to eat alongside the skewers. Everything tasted very fresh, was served quickly, and decent in portion. We hit $88 and the waitstaff gifted us with a shrimp dish, which was also very yummy. After the meal, staff also gave us two yakult drinks to wash it all down. The service was also great - water and napkins were provided without us having to ask. So glad we decided to stop by! We will definitely be back to try more things!“
“Very friendly customer service and always welcoming. This is outside seating only, but they do also have a covered area with picnic tables and a few ceiling heaters.This time around I tried their corned beef sandwich they were offering for St. Pattie’s. I wish they had this all year long it was so delicious! Like all their sandwiches, piled high with meat, with a mustard aioli.My favs at this place are their baby backs, potato salad and mac and cheese. Generous portions that last me more than a few days.“
“Whenever I have my BBQ cravings from time to time, Lil Red's is the only place that can satisfy me. I genuinely believe this is the best spot in Seattle that does BBQ. The setup is very small with limited parking, so your best bet is to call in your order and pick it up when it's ready. I believe you can also order online through Uber eats as well. I ended up ordering in person and having a beer while I waited. The guy in the front that takes orders is also very helpful. What we ordered during the last visit was the brisket, burnt ends, Mac & cheese, and beans. Everything was so tasty, my only complaint is that I don't live closer!“
“Really like the soy garlic chicken half mix! Pork bulgogi is on point thank you for offering pork! You do show crinkle fries tho and we just received regular fries. Very nice staff and pretty inside although we have only done take out (several times). We will be back.“
“Briley's BBQ in Kenmore is hands down the best barbecue joint I've ever had the pleasure of dining at. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the tantalizing aroma of smoked meats that promises an unforgettable culinary experience.The food at Briley's BBQ is simply divine. Each dish is prepared with care and expertise, resulting in flavors that dance on your palate and leave you craving more. Whether it's the perfectly tender brisket, the mouthwatering ribs, or the succulent pulled pork, every bite is a testament to the skill and dedication of the chefs.But it's not just the food that makes Briley's BBQ stand out—it's the atmosphere as well. The restaurant has a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home from the moment you walk in. Whether you're dining with friends or flying solo, Briley's BBQ is the perfect spot to kick back, relax, and enjoy some damn good barbecue.In summary, if you find yourself in Kenmore and craving some top-notch barbecue, look no further than Briley's BBQ. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.“
“This place is an absolute GEM! Everything was delicious and tasted better than Umma’s cooking! Sorry Umma! I hope she does see this. lol! Reasonable prices and so so delicious! Highly recommend!Take out side dishes, lots of soups, kimchis, main dishes etc. You won’t be disappointed!“
“Aptly and appropriately named, this off the main path delight is straight forward but still adequate options.St.louis style ribs and red bean chili are both great. Have the chili with a spike on top, mix it up and try and forget just how bad it is outside the location in seattle.“
“This is for their new AYCE menu. I unfortunately never had the opportunity to try Niku prior to the AYCE revamp.The price and food quality is pretty good for an AYCE BBQ place. Better service and food compared to some Korean BBQs that I’ve been to. Notable recommendations are the Karubi, Beef Tongue, and Finger meat. Then if you’re a fan of duck, definitely try the Duck Breast from the A La Carte selection. Their vegetable/sauce/side dishes area might seem small but it honestly offers core pieces at a BBQ place (veggies, rice, soup, and etc.)The 90 minute limit didn’t bother my party of 3 at all. We all enjoyed our time and the employees never rushed us or anything like that. I was pretty dang full nearing that 90 minute mark anyways.I do recommend a reservation though if you’re showing up on a Saturday night. The restaurant was pretty packed and I could tell there was quite a wait. Also the atmosphere is just great, very dim and cool ambience.Definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for a different AYCE BBQ place in the Aurora area. It’s a nice option since it’s closer than going over to Bellevue for Gyu-Kaku.Parking: It’s a free shared parking lot with a bunch of other stores. So you might not get a prime spot in front of the Asian Family Market. But you can park at the Hobby Lobby or LA Fitness nearby and walk on over.“
“Various cuts of meat were all good, but not quite the quality I expected at their price point. I realize one doesn't go to a K-bbq for the banchan (side dishes), but also found their lack of variety and bland flavor somewhat disappointing.“
“This small out-of-the-way Georgetown bar has literally the best barbecue in Seattle. We've actually got a pretty up-and-coming barbecue scene, and Raney's is leading the way. Their brisket sandwich is bar-none the best I've had, and their Thursday/Friday ribs special is excellent as well.If you find yourself here, or happen to live along the 24/33/124 bus route, definitely give them a try.“
“I'm not comprehensively knowledgeable in Korean cuisine. Therefore, a review from me is not fair necessarily. I can say the quality is good. I enjoy the food as I do return. I'm open to learning more about this cuisine. I say go. ?? Also, it's really warm in there... layer and peel.Parking: Sometimes tight, but ok.“
“Busy, bustling atmosphere. EXCELLENT food, service was good. Really cool artwork on the walls, food is as authentic as I've ever had, the BBQ pork is their signature item.Only criticism would be that this area of Seattle is pretty sketchy. That's obviously not the restaraunts fault, though.“
“Tasty food and friendly service. I visited on a Saturday between lunch and dinner time and was one of two small groups. Ended up ordering the lamb platter and tzatziki and fried cauliflower and everything was very good. The pita was pretty fluffy and the lamb nicely seasoned. I also enjoy the fried cauliflower a lot with the generous seasoning.“
“I drive by Jacks BBQ in Algona everyday, it always smells so good. I don't have time to actually eat in but, I did door dash it today to work for an early dinner. I had the chopped brisket sandwich with greens and it was amazing. I also tried the hushpuppies they where also outstanding. I'm sorry I waited so long to eat there. I now have lunch for tomorrow too. Thank You Jack's“
Vietnamese • $$
“Some of the best Vietnamese cuisine you will find in the greater Seattle area. Everything I've tried here has been truly exceptional. Some of my favorites are the fried catfish, beef and morning glory salad, baby clams with rice cracker, grilled lemongrass goat, and coconut steamed spotted prawns.10 out of 10 recommend!“
“Nothing beats good Korean food at a gas station. The bowls are on the pricier side but it's worth every penny. I always get the beef bowl with extra meat and request loads of sauce! Their sauces are the best! I swear, I could drink them straight up. As long as I am in Bellevue, I will continue coming here weekly.“
“Pet friendly and people friendly bbq place in slu. The server was so friendly and has great service as well. Getting my pup a bbq treat and water. Suggesting things on the happy hour as well. We got the double meal and it was worth the $30 bucks!“
Korean • $$
“My husband loves kbbq but I’d never been. We came here on my birthday and both got the AYCE for $35. He also added an order of the short ribs for an extra $10. Well worth the money if you ask me. The service was incredible, as everyone was helpful and kept good conversation with us. I can’t wait to come back! I couldn’t have asked for a better bday dinner.“
“It's felt like "Korean Chipotle" vibe. More like American Korean with sauces and spice. I loved the purple rice! I highly recommend to go with purple rice rather than white. it gave more texture and flavor to bowl. The bulgogi beef was nice and was in good quantity. You can customize the topping and sauces as needed. I would have definitely enjoyed it more if the chili sauce or heat wave sauce would be more spicer. This would definitely be my Korean Chipotle moving forward.“
“Five dollars for an order of potstickers is the best deal in Pike Place market and they were absolutely delicious. I also ordered the barbecue pork hom bow. Honestly, I didn't like it. The pork was really jellied, but maybe it's just not my thing. But the potstickers were incredible. Egg roll was good enough.“
“Great service & ingredient quality! Highly recommend the Beef Combo (serves around 2 people), and then ordering extra of whatever you liked best. The A5 Wagyu Steak was $15/oz, but pretty reasonably priced considering what it was and the quality. Was also nice that they grilled the wagyu for us.“
“Amazing BBQ, the pork and the Mac and cheese bowl we had were fantstic. Cornbread was great too. Staff was very nice and gave recommendations, and it was really cool to see the way they worked. Environment is energetic and inviting. Great option to eat.“
“I have eaten at the Bellevue location as well as here and both are very good. My husband and I miss korean fried chicken from Korea and this place curves the craving. Nice and crispy and seasoned well. The kimchi fries were good too! The bulgogi bowl was yummy and I liked how you could have it with japchae noodles instead of rice :)“
“Nice small restaurant. K-pop playing on 3 TVs (muted). American music plays in background. Various types of soju are available to quench your thirst. Bandhan is good. Ordered soft tofu soup with seafood (regular spicy). Very tasty with calamari and lots of baby clams. I would come back here again!“
“Simple food made well. Stopped in for some take out (that's the only option here), and found a diversmenu on the wall. Seems not everything is available, but my choice of chicken and duck on rice made the cut. I also had a choice of coke or sprite. That's it. They prepare the food right in front of you - don't get picky about boneless meat! They chop up your bird with hefty swings of a cleaver and ina few minutes, you're out the door. Aside from spitting rib bones once in a while, the food was great. Simple seasonings, simple presentation....and not screwed up in any way whatsoever. They even price things so that - after tax - your final prices are rounded to 00. I'll be back“
“My small group guys and I heard the spot got new management so we came by to check it out. And it did not disappoint! The quality of the meat and side dishes were excellent. It's nice to see a Korean bbq spot not compromise the quality of their ingredients. Also, the servers were so friendly and attentive. You don't feel nervous asking for help or service as you sometimes would at other spots. As a Korean I'd highly recommend. And don't forget to try their Gookbap!!“
“Um, I'm not sure what happened here. I felt like I was in a foreign country.We went for coffee and dessert.It was easily the worst espresso I've ever had. The honey cake was flavor free, though beautiful to look at...I should stop there.I actually enjoyed myself.Weird, huh?“
“Fantastic food, great service, and a totally fair price. They're known to hook it up too!Normally I don't blow up my spots but this place deserves to be way more popular than it is. Had nearly everything on the menu and it all slaps!Wouldn't know what to do with myself if we lost Seoul Bowl, we gotta support all we can. They do DoorDash too!“
“This is my favorite dim sum spot in the entire Seattle area! There’s also a massive selection, I’ve tried countless dishes, yet still haven’t tried everything. A few of my favorites are anything with shrimp (so many different options) the broccoli and their dessert buns. Yum.If you’re looking for an amazing dim sum brunch spot, try this place out and be ready to wait in line for a bit, it’s no secret how delicious it is!“
“first time eating hear. food is amazing. I had a brisket sandwich with potato salad and mac & cheese. some of the best BBQ around in my book. everyone should swing on threw and get some. you wont be disappointed. definitely making a detour by there more often“
“Really tasty! The price for the all you can eat was great. We have ate at other kbbq restaurants in the area that are the “meals” not ayce and they are quite pricey. Same experience, just as tasty. Main difference was you don’t have the soup as the other restaurant and that’s OK. It was not missed and my husband was excited shrimp was an option on the premium option ($35pp). We had a great time and will be back.“
“Sad I didn't know about this place sooner. I grew up in San Francisco, love dim sum, and crave it all the time. There are decent spots in the Seattle ID, but this is my new go-to for to-go. Favorites:- Chicken feet were fresh out the steamer -- melted in my mouth and so tasty.- Pork spare ribs were juicy and tender, and the rice rolls were silky smooth. - Siu yuk (roasted pork) had crunchy skin.- Bok tong go (sweet rice sponge cake) was light, fluffy, and perfectly sweet. They make thinner pieces, which I much prefer. A full box for $5.Also good: - Ha gao (shrimp dumplings) were huge with lots of shrimp filling.- Jin duy (fried sesame balls with red bean filling) was less greasy and very crunchy.Service was quick and friendly. They were busy with walk-ins early Saturday but cranking out new steamer baskets to keep up with the demand. Space is bright and clean. Prices are very reasonable. Love it!!!“
“Wow. The brisket was amazing. Literally melted like butter and broke apart with a touch. Not dry at all extremely flavorful. Great seasonings. I ordered for take out got the slaw. Mac and cheese and chili cheese fries. Everything was amazing serving size was great definitely filling. I had some Hawaiian rolls at home to make a sandwich out of it. Amazing. I definitely recommend. Service was quick and got my order within a few minutes. The place looks nice sports bar. I wonder if they show ufc fights there. I'll ask next time I order. Great location convenient but parking lot is kinda small so take that in consideration.“

“One of the wonderful things about moving into a new neighborhood is discovering all the little places that are within walking distance. Places that not only add convenience to your life but make the grind of the city a little easier just by being there. This is one of those places. It's simple, hot, Korean food done well and in very good size portions. They pride themselves on their fried chicken, and they SHOULD. It is juicy and crispy, and there is plenty to your order. The catch is, it tase better with the sauce they serve. It's a kind of ketchup that has been spiced perfectly to pair with the chicken. If you are a single person in the area, this is the place to come, not only if you want to get full but to have leftovers for the next day. I did.“
“Honestly, the reviews are so mixed so we weren’t sure what to expect. Korean BBQ is our favorite meal together - we have a favorite spot in our hometown of Chicago that we used to go to like once a week and a spot we regularly frequent in NYC whenever we visit. I don’t know if I’d put this on our top 5 best KBBQ spots but maybe top 10! The quality of meat was great, good soju selection, pretty good service, loved the side dishes, no complaints here. I’m not sure why there are some bad reviews about meat quality… maybe they had an off night? All the meats were good. Did not disappoint. I’d say the service is similar to what you’d expect for an average KBBQ spot, maybe slightly expensive for what it is portion wise but I won’t knock a star off for it. If you love KBBQ give it a shot.“
“Yummy food and generous portions!We came to this place around noon on a Sunday. We ordered claypot spicy beef rice noodle, wonton Sui-Kau Noodle soup, and Salt Pepper fried chicken. All tatses pretty good and homey! I'd recommend trying the claypot noodle if you want to try something more flavorful beyond the general canton dishes. It comes in different soup options: spicy, tomato, golden hot and sour etc. and it has loads of toppings including fish balls, beef balls, corns, ham, greens, etc. The service is very nice.“
“We decided to get a-la cart meats rather than all you can eat or the set menus so we could target what we liked, and it was definitely a good choice. Food was brought out quickly and service was attentive (giving recommendations, cleaning grill grates, etc). Definitely will be going back.It can get crowded later in the evening, so plan accordingly (reservation, etc).“
“This is your standard (read: authentic) Korean BBQ restaurant. Housed in a large space, it’s not fancy but has everything you would want for K-BBQ: hot and cold bar, traditional table grills, super-friendly service, and a decent drink selection. Conveniently located in the Redmond Bella Bottega shopping center with plenty of parking.“
“Really happy to find this place. Went on a busy Saturday night. The place was packed! The service was amazing. Super nice staff that were working very hard.I got the bacon tofu soup as suggested by two staff with the kalbi combo. I will be getting this again. My dining partner had the kimchee pork soup and while it was great said she’d also be getting the bacon next time. The short ribs were incredible.The banchan was filled often, and even came with a fried fish which was delicious.“
“This is a nice, quiet respite in the middle of the hustle and bustle of downtown Seattle. The food was delicious and Dave did an amazing job going above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. The Brisket Nachos were divine! Absolutely loved it, can't wait to visit again!“
“I had the bulgogi beef plate. The meat was tender with a yummy sauce. The owner was friendly and welcoming and we had a nice conversation. They made the food quickly and the price was great. I will be back for sure! (Also what Barry and the other reviewers said about the owners. Special people!)“
“Convenient location in side the Columbia Tower food court. I was so happy to see a BBQ restaurant here. I ordered the two meat combo plate, which comes with a side. This time I got the brisket and sausage, with a side of mac and cheese. The brisket was very tasty with a delicious peppery bark. I appreciate not getting an overly fatty piece. The sausage was perfect with just enough flavor from the spices to not overwhelm my taste bugs. The mac and cheese was a decent quality. There is a self serve pepper, pickle, and onion station. You can also self serve slices of white bread.I thought I was going to have some leftovers for dinner, but I couldn't help myself and finished the whole thing off. Be prepared for an unproductive afternoon if you have this heavy lunch. It was delicious, but made me real sleepy :-)“
“Alt/goth human, normally only frequent a members only club of the same, but damn if my 90s2000s highschool heart didn't melt at the soundtrack bartender Ryan had for us (korn, disturbed, offspring and more! )! Love the vibe, art on the walls is top tier and eclecticWill definitely be back for more!“
“We went on Saturday around 4PM and we waited for about 20 mins until we got seated (we put ourselves on the waitlist on the iPad by their door). I love the parking situation here- there is a garage with plenty of parking! This is the best AYCE kbbq spot in the Seattle area! It's $45 pp but the quality of meat is INSANE. I normally don't like to go to AYCE places because since it's unlimited, the quality of meat usually lacks. But this place is different!! I love the variety of options here as well as seafood options. Staff were very friendly and attentive to our needs and they change the grill multiple times so your meat doesn't burn. The ambience is also great; very modern and lively with kpop music playing in the background. 10/10 recommend and I'm already planning my next visit“
