Fantastic service. The staff consistently checked in to ensure we had everything we needed.

The quality of the meat was excellent, especially the ribeye (Galbi), which, while on the pricier side, was very well-prepared and flavorful. I understand that Korean BBQ tends to be on the expensive side, likely due to general supply factors, rather than specific to this restaurant.

We also loved the atmosphere and lighting, which transported us back to Korea. While the steamed egg tasted a bit burnt, the salad dressing was a standout.

Overall, a satisfying dining experience.

Got food poisoning. Disappointed with the meat quality, there was a weird smell of the pork. I was literally vomiting nonstop after I left the restaurant.

RACISM!!! Quite disappointed with the meat quality. We ordered the beef and pork combo, it is quite pricy although it’s huge portion. I feel like the service is really depending on the race. There are two other groups, and the server cooked the meat for them because they are not Asians I guess. Never come again.

I had a great time. I got in Monday dinner time when it wasn't busy and they serviced us so kindly! Brisket & 육회 Yukhoe was very good. I'll be coming back for more.

Highly recommended by my friends, guess I need to reconsider friendship. $160+ post tax for 2 people.

Horrible quality meat, worse than AYCE. Service is also terrible, never change grill, no banchan refills, no drink refills. The place wasn’t even full, just lazy staff.

Go to meat kbbq in Caphill or any AYCE in ID. Better food and better value.

Worst kbbq in Pacific Northwest easily.

Came here after seeing the high reviews. We arrived later in the evening and wanted to order the dakgalbi and the baby back ribs. Waiter told us both were unavailable. We ended up with the kimchi fried rice and the tofu soup. Kimchi fried rice was the highlight, very well made. The tofu soup was disappointing, lacking flavour and was not hot enough to cook the egg. Would not recommend.

This was our second time here and both times we really enjoyed ourselves! The meats were all high quality and super tasty and all the banchan is really good as well- especially the salad they give you. We got the scallion pancake and kimchi fried rice as sides and both were really great too. The servers were all very kind and attentive too! We were a group of 6 and spent about $50 per person including tip- we got 3 dishes and 4 different types of meat which was more than enough for all of us.

So impressed by the meat quality. One of the best kbbq I’ve been to in Seattle. $146 split by 3 (beef and pork combo) ain’t so bad when you eat so good. Place has weird acoustics but otherwise it’s fine.

Very popular place on a Saturday night! Sat at the bar and met the owner who was taking a shot with a former employee! Super cool guy! Korean restaurants run in his family! This is not a normal restaurant. If you come here you are supporting a family business and culture. Yes, the wait time is long but totally worth it! Soontofu soup 5/5, kimchi pancake 5/5, banchan 6/5

Not very kind or welcoming. My sisters and I came because we like Korean bbq, but servers were confused about where to seat us. They gave us a seat and because we weren’t ordering bbq right away they wanted to move us to the bar, my youngest sister is 14 but they didn’t ask and we were seated for almost 15 minutes at that point. The food was okay, but the service really ruined out experience. Cold is the clearest way to describe it.

Waitress didn’t bother checking up on us after we got our meal. We had to walk over to them to get service. We already knew what time they were closing and so again we waited for the lady to take our check so we could leave but they still didn’t come so we had to get up and pay. Also we paid in cash and they didn’t have any change so they had to run and get change which took longer and also kbbq places usually have the gratitude service built into the ticket charge so we didn’t leave a tip and once we started walking out the guy proceeded to follow us and yell “so you just don’t leave tips” which I explained tips are usually built into the ticket at kbbq places” then he raised his voice. We usually always tip but also tipping is OPTIONAL!!!!!!!! It’s not required! If the girls had come check on us instead of us looking for them then yes I would’ve felt justified on leaving the tip! Also there was literally only 2 other tables with guest but we still had to look for the girls.
