8 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Lakewood

“The food here is fine but they are unbelievably slow. My grandson waited 25 minutes for a piece of pie. We have been several times and it is always the same. Wait,wait!,“

“1st time family visit and we all loved it! Impressive to see so many ribbons and prizes for their barbecue! The Texans in the family were wondering what the influence was so we can look on the website and it was surprising to see that it was just Washington grown.

We all loved the brisket sandwich whether it was the sliced or chopped version. The sides are very large and quite delicious. Complimentary self-serve ice cream at the end is a sweet touch (pun intended).

Google needs a price row...I ranked service as 4 stars only because price is a bit high.“

“I am sharing my disappointing experience at this establishment, which will likely deter me from returning. The total cost for two adults, including gratuities, amounts to $120.

Regarding the service, we experienced a 10-minute wait before being seated. Upon seating, the setup was incomplete, with only water and menus provided after 30 minutes. Notably, the menu specifies a 60-minute time limit, creating an immediate sense of urgency.

When our server inquired about our preferences, I requested a sampling of all buffet items. Although she seemed perplexed, she assured me that it was acceptable to try everything.

To summarize my review, throughout our dining experience, we received only half of our requested items, with frequent forgetfulness from the staff. Additionally, the complimentary soda required multiple requests. It appeared that the staff was overwhelmed on a Saturday.

For prospective patrons, I recommend visiting during the weekdays.“

“The food was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. We came in for an early dinner but by the time we left the place was packed! Ppl clearly love this hidden gem!“

“Love to eat there spicy chicken feet and mackchang!!!
My son(7years old) also love this restaurant because of pork belly and cold noodles.
They are very kind to children and providing small portion of soup and rice for small kids. Love to hang out with my friends there!!!
Their corn cheese is very 👍.“

“Went here with a friend and had my regular delicious meal of Chicken Katsu Curry. This meal is amazing no matter what location you go to. This location was super busy the whole time we dined in. The only downside was they had generic Sriracha packets instead of authentic Sriracha bottles like other locations, which are far superior. Thanks for the great service.“

“Favorite Korean BBQ to go to. Everyone is so friendly and you never feel ignored or rushed. The quality of the food is wonderful and the prices are great! This is the only spot we love and we recommend to everyone.“

“love the mala hot! if you like spicy chicken this is one of the greatest hidden gems of Federal Way. a bit pricey at regular price, but they are always running specials. Definitely my go-to place for spicy chicken anywhere between Seattle and Tacoma.“
