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.

I have been going to the owners parents restaurant for over a decade. This Korean bbq has some of the same recipes and is absolutely delicious. Generous portion sizes, side dishes are on point, service is excellent , and most importantly ownership appreciates your business. I highly recommend them for local KBbq.

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.

I'm absolutely enamored with this Korean BBQ spot! The cuisine is exceptional, the ambiance is delightful, and there's just something about everything here that captivates me. I'm definitely planning a return visit.
The food was okay but the service was terrible??. The total was $120, but they charged me $260 on purpose. I realized that a month later, and they didn't even apologize. They remembered what they have done right ahead. THEY DID THAT ON PURPOSE?? Do not even go here if you don't want your money taken away?
I was in Seattle with my family for the weekend and wanted to have a top notch Korean BBQ. We ordered beef brisket for my kid and wife and pork jowl for myself. But meat quality was not great… I mean very BAD. Brisket is too chewy and pork tasted like rubber. I spent about $150 w tip for Friday dinner, but don’t think I would go back there again.

Really good Korean BBQ place! Staff were super friendly, we went there a bit early for dinner so it was not crowded at all.Food was delicious! A very big variety of meats and drinks. Quality and taste were amazing. Overall, a really good value and a great place to hang out with friends for some food and drinks. The bulgogi was my favorite.Vegetarian options: There are some vegetarian side dishes, but most of the menu contains meat.
