“We had such a great experience here! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The quality of the meat was excellent — everything was fresh, flavorful, and the seafood pancake was cooked perfectly. We also loved all the side dishes and soups they had to offer.
The restaurant itself is very clean, and the decor is beautiful, creating such a nice atmosphere for dining. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great Korean BBQ spot!“

“We chose Ola Mae’s Southern Barbecue to cater our wedding a couple weeks ago in August and we would absolutely use them again!
The food was amazing! Our guests raved about it for days and still say it was the best pulled pork they’ve ever had. Everything was fresh and flavorful, no dried out food, like a lot of weddings tend to serve.
We went with a buffet style for about 130 guests and there was lots of options to please multiple dietary restrictions. We LOVED the salad and potato bar option, our vegetarian friends really appreciated the baked potato bar and said they were a fantastic and unique choice.
The only minor things that seemed to be missing was we wished there was some au jus for the prime rib (which was still delicious) and we had been looking forward to his sweet tea, but didn’t seem to get any beverages. I also wish that more had been saved aside for the bride and groom (especially since we were the ones who paid for it). It was nice that we had pre-dished up plates ready for us before the buffet line (which was great), but we weren’t able to get anything additional and we missed out on the appetizers since they started right after the ceremony. We had been looking forward to trying the deep fried catfish but never were able to. Everyone who got to try it, said it was amazing though!

Overall, Anthony was very communicative and went above and beyond leading up to the big day. He offered a ton of services, such as dishwear and linens, that made the day stress free and a breeze and everything was beautiful and so delicious! Absolutely helped to make our big day memorable.

My only complaints Is that we wished we had packed up left overs (if there even was any left) because we were craving his food later in the night and all the next day. We also wish he had a regular restaurant for us to frequent, because we crave his food still! It would be amazing if he had a “pop up” kitchen with pre-order services for us to pick up, I would absolutely sign up for a newsletter/email list and really hope that he offers pick-up options leading into the holidays!

Overall, I would absolutely recommend Ola Mae’s Southern Barbecue, and I will absolutely use them again for any future catering needs!“

“Great pizza! In fact, possibly one of the best pizzas I've had in a long time. The other day I ordered a Caesar salad and I'm pretty sure the dressing I got was balsamic and there was way too much of it, so not impressed with that. Atmosphere is very basic. Some wobbly tables and a few TV's.“

“Golden Daisy Restaurant is a great spot for casual dim sum and Chinese BBQ. The food is flavorful, portions are generous, and prices are very reasonable. I especially enjoyed the BBQ meats and classic dim sum items — perfect for a quick meal or takeout.

The place itself is pretty simple and no-frills, so don’t expect a fancy dine-in experience, but service is fast and staff are friendly. Overall, it’s a solid option when you’re craving comforting Chinese food without spending too much. I’d definitely come back.“

“All very delectable DIY AYCE (all you can eat) Korean barbecue plus copious refillable sides. Personal faves are the spicy tofu soup and beef spare ribs (shown). Note however the restaurant has recently come under NEW management. The prices are the same but take note they NO longer accept Groupons, which is unfortunate if you had purchased some prior. Perhaps they will offer a grand reopening special if they know what's good for their customer base. Came today to retrieve a hat I had left on my last visit, but 'twas nowhere to be found, possibly lost in the reshuffle. Was told they be closed for a few days circa 1/20/2026 to get things refurbished. Will try them again once the dust settles, and so may you.“

“I had a great experience at Grill City in Tukwila! The food was fresh and delicious, but what truly made the visit exceptional was Linda. She was amazing—friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel welcomed. Her service alone is worth coming back for.“

“I got the 4 meat right before selection, which I recommend. Somebody, knows what they are doing..I would give this place an A+, but I'm giving it an A. I give it an A because, I did not order avBobo drink. Or, one of those drinks I kept staring at posted on the door. As I ordered take out..The service and atmosphere was good 👍...No complaint..very attentive, inviting, judgement free...I stepped into the door, after 3 other people and they treated me, like everybody else..so kind. Thank you.“

“Large portions of the most buttery steaks and pork we have ever had. Real Japanese A5 wagyu grilled for you on the table.“

“Really good BBQ!! We will be back to try the whole menu!“

“Excellent service from Elizabeth! She was so friendly and attentive! I ordered brisket with mac & cheese and potato salad and my friend ordered the bacon & blues burger with a brisket add on and talk about mouth watering! We also ordered the fried pickle jar and highly recommend that appetizer! We saved our leftovers for the next day and it went just as hard! Amazing hospitality from this establishment and the vibe was so country it felt like we were back home in Texas! Don’t skip out on the banana pudding and a big thank you to management and the cooks who help keep the place running smooth!“

“Richard’s Too Good BBQ is a revelation. You mean to tell me that ribs and brisket were supposed to taste this amazing?? Unbelievably delicious. And just because they really know what they’re doing with a smoker does not mean they neglect the sides. On the contrary, the sharp mac and cheese, fresh and crisp mango coleslaw, and plush and delicate cornbread were all created with the same obvious passion and skill. The plates were generous and though we were stuffed, we couldn’t help but finish every bite.

Also, Richard is as nice a guy as you’d ever want to meet. It was almost a shame that service was so prompt, because it would have been nice to chat with him longer!“

“Best BBQ in Seattle. They are like family. RIBS are a must. So is the BBQ sauce. ☝🏼“

“I’m from Dallas, TX and have had a hard time finding true southern BBQ in this entire state! Except Pete’s! Now, I’ve had great smoked brisket and other great smoked culinary experiences, but this one is the most Southern. What I mean is that the coleslaw is excellent with a medium shred, not too large or chopped too small, and an even amount of dressing. The sweet cornbread muffins with honey-butter straight from cast-iron are amazing. The pickle slices are even a culinary delight, sitting next to raw onions and a plethora of BBQ sauces to choose from. Oh, and free ice-cream cones if you even have room left to fill (we did not, lol). I could go on about the sweet tea, baked beans, slow-smoked ribs, shredded smoked pork, sausage, chicken, and desserts but…Just bring your appetite and try it for y’all’s selves! ;)“

“Food is amazing. Pretty expensive for pit BBQ, but if you dont mind spending a little more, its a decent spot. I spent about $40 for a sweet tea, a pulled pork sandwich, mashed potatoes, and a dessert.“

“best plate of food. it doesn't matter what you actually get. it will still be the best plate of food around. I drive over over an hour just to grub here. Always delighted and leave full and happy. great people as well. take it from this fat guy... lil reds is the best!“

“⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️ BBQ that tastes like home Warms your heart and the lady who works there is a delight ❤️“

“I went there for the first time and it was delicious. The customer service was amazing. They offered samples of some of their other food while we waited for our order. The food was so good. I will definitely be going back. Thank you for a wonderful experience!“

“Outstanding BBQ served with a unique style. Classic smoked brisket to creative milpasa tamales with flavor for miles.“

“Good place to get Dim Sum dishes.
I've tried the BBQ pork, pork belly, roasted duck, hum bow, shrimp balls, chicken feet, siumai and sesame balls... all dond reasonably well. They also prepare rice and noodle dishes. One can call ahead to order larger group sized orders for parties.
Friendly and helpful staff.“

“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“

“We have come here for many years. It been awhile since we came back. We like their new menu looks like it been recently updated. We ordered our usual of: -Vietnamese Sweet & Sour Catfish Soup -Catfish in Clay Pot/Stew -Rice Today we also tried: -Crispy Oysters -Salted Fish Fried Rice -Three Color Dessert -Thai Dessert It wasn't too busy today, we got a table right away for a family of our. The servers were nice and friendly. Our desserts were bought out first, and soon after the main dishes. Our usual dishes is the tasty as usual. Our favorite as a family is the fried oysters. Our young kids liked it best with the sweet sauce (not spicy). The sizing of the oysters are large and it tasted excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful dining night with the whole family. We will be back as usual! We highly recommend this place! They got some of the dishes we love that keeps us coming back for more!“

“Delicious! Perfect amount of natural smoke flavor on the brisket and the BBQ sauce was well balanced with a touch of spice. So much meat I used a fork before eating it as a sandwich. Service was fun, lighthearted, friendly. I will definitely go back!“

“we ordered 2 brisket and 2 chicken plates... no complaints. our sides were yams, collard greens, beans and okra. there was flavor, excellent (really more than enough) portion sizes. we will definitely visit again.“

“BEST OF BOTH WORLDS. You get delicious authentic hot pot plus a side of KBBQ. We chose the all-you-can-eat for about $30 a person.

The meat was fresh and they had incredible quality cuts. All you can eat hot pot, bbq, plus sauce, drinks, and ice cream.

Service was also great - they checked on us often and keep the restaurant very clean.“
