As far as kbbq places go, this restaurant is very mid, nothing special. It's about $35 per person for all-you-can-eat, which isn't too bad, but this would not be my first choice. The bonchon was lacking, there were only 5 side dishes for a group of 7 people, and the rice bowls we ordered were half full and not very fluffy. The meat was decent, albeit sliced kind of thick. I especially enjoyed the marinated shirt rib, it was very flavorful and tender. We were only allowed order 4 things at a time for AYCE, but it was unclear if that included non-meat dishes like rice paper. There was also no side salad like I expected at other kbbq places, which was disappointing but not a dealbreaker. The lighting was weirdly dark by the grill, so it was hard to see if the meat was cooked fully or not. The servers were pretty attentive though, which was really nice considering there was no button on the tables to buzz them over. I did end up having a very filling meal and feeling satisfied, but it was still very alright kbbq, and didn't live up to my expectations. read more

Happy anniversary to Baegopa (10/10/21)! Was able to drop in for a great meal and as always, left extremely pleased. Service continues to stand out and make Baegopa one of the best kbbq spots around here. There's definitely bias with service for friends, so you might see them visit the table next to you four or five times before coming to you, but honestly they glance and are aware of whether or not you need service (i.e. more meat, food, or a grill change). Other than that, you may still have to flag someone down, especially if you want more banchan or more rice as that's harder to identify with a simple glance. Still, at least I get my grill changed often (usually each rotation of meat) compared to some other places where you have to ask and then they still "forget." It's also nice that they allow you to order the soup as part of the all-you-can-eat option rather than provide it. Helps reduce food waste for sure and not force you to eat something that you weren't planning on (in case you were focused on the meat, for instance). They're also adding more meat options which is great. They used to be rather limited which was the main "con" of this location. I am disappointed that the ribeye is gone though but in it's place there's now garlic beef and garlic pork. Brisket, pork belly, marinated beef, galbi, and chicken still remain. Also new are chicken drumsticks, fried and ready to eat (I was wondering how I was going to grill it honestly). read more

The meat was flavorless and not tender. They did not butter our grill initially, but they buttered and changed our grill two times within 7 minutes. Then they proceeded to ask for our phone numbers lol I'm not rating any lower for this I thought this was funny. I still wouldn't go back though :( Seattle kbbq is just sad read more

Alright, so this is a to-go lunch review: do it. I know it's a Korean barbecue place, and it's probably best as a sit-down dinner with the AYCE, but I work in the area and I coworker and I were hankering for Korean. This place totally hit the spot and more. For $16, the cost of an average lunch in the area, I got a bibimbap that absolutely could've served 2.5 people for lunch, with a generous side of vegetables garnishes, not the least of which was some rockin' kimchi. Would recommend for the lunch crowd as take-out, just order ahead. And don't be scared of the sardine and peanuts. read more

Fair quality for higher-than-average price. Based on the menu pricing, it makes much sense to AYCE than a la carte if you're ordering 3+ meats. There are no fume hoods! so avoid my mistake and wear appropriate clothes & protect your hair. We tried most of the offerings. Beef brisket and shortrib are great: cooked tender and rich with juices. Marinated beef is not the same as your typical bulgolgi; the marinade has a distinct savory taste without any sugary sweetness. Pair these meats with the tofu soup! The soup is freshly made from the kitchen and sports a tasty broth. Things that could do better: side dishes and rice were cold or dehydrated by time they reached my table; fried chicken was overly fried and lost any texture except its crisp; and sticking to one music genre (bounced between Kpop, rap, and R&B). Still, it's worth trying the AYCE option! read more

Usually my friends and I go to AYCE KBBQ on bdays occasions, but I think it is reasonably priced in the Seattle/Bellevue area. Definitely cheaper places in Lynwood or federal way though. There's enough variety of meat on the menu, but definitely get the short ribs and the garlic meats. Services vary, sometimes they are on top of it by changing the grill, and sometimes not. Lastly, the selection of the side was good, my friends really liked the salad, and me personally, I go through their fishcakes. read more

Good AYCE BBQ for a great price and with good service. Highly recommend stopping by if you're local and do not want to go far north or south. We came on a sunday evening right after opening, we made reservations 2 days in advance via phone to ensure there would be seats. When we arrived there was no one at the front entry way so we waited for about 5 to 10 minutes. I think they are likely short on staff like everywhere else, but once the guy came out he greeted and seated us as soon as possible. The service - was good, despite their only being two workers they checked in often and changed our grill plates frequently. They always remembered our order and asked us ahead of time if we wanted more. The only thing that was a downside is they brought us pork belly when we hadn't ordered any, but otherwise great service! The ambience - was busy and bustling. The restaurant looked trendy yet clean, but there weren't large fans so it did get a bit smoky. The grills themselves had fans below, but perhaps were not strong enough. The food - we got the AYCE bbq and it was good! I was a little sad they didn't have spicy pork, but their brisket and LA Kalbi were delish. They also offer soups to order and fried chicken. The tofu soup is seasoned well and quite tasty! They also offered some bon chon plates and side salads which were decent and provided dipping/ spicy sauces which were good. They had a pretty good variety of dishes on the AYCE menu and the meat was all fresh and tasty. Parking -was chinatown street parking so it can get a little full, but was not a bad experience. The price - was about $35 pp plus tip so a decent price for AYCE. Overall, a great BBQ place for AYCE K BBQ with kind and hardworking staff. We will be back! read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday with some girlfriends and it was sooo delicious! We did the AYCE option and it came with a lot of different meats, tofu soup and soybean soup. There were maybe 5-6 banchan as well. The service was really quick, friendly and accommodating as they helped bring plates and utensils for the cake at the end. We felt bad because we were the last ones and they were waiting for us but we didn't feel pressured to leave by them at all, it was just us being mindful. I would skip the pork belly next time because the cuts were too thick but I'd definitely come back for the brisket, kalbi, and ambiance. read more

You can select a la carte or all you can eat for $33.95 per person that includes side dishes, soup and various cuts of meat to select from. You will have to make the reservation through Instagram DM, which was interesting. Make sure you finish what you order because there is a surcharge if you have leftovers. Food wise was 3.5/5 but service was great so average out to 4/5 for the rating. The servers were quick to refill all the water and check on us from time to time. They were quick in changing the grill and make sure it gets switch periodically. We ordered garlic pork, LA galbi, marinated beef, brisket, and pork belly. My favorite was the beef brisket. All the marinated meat was way too sweet. read more

We made reservations in advance for a Friday night dinner. A group of four opted to do AYCE after much debate. Meats to order -garlic pork -short ribs -marinated beef Meats you could forgo -pork belly -thin brisket Service: for AYCE, they were fantastic. I've never seen a group of people task with changing the grill plates every 7-10 minutes. Really nice. We were served 7ish banchans and able to refill as needed. There was one point where they did run out but was able to service again with us. Lettuce was an added cost. Rice is included but we didn't eat it. read more

Came here on a whim because so many places in the international district are shut down. The food was fine and the price wasn't terrible for AYCE...but there weren't many options for anyone wanting a smaller portion or side dishes for a reasonable price. The service was friendly but the staff seemed really confused and kept mixing up our orders. We ended up being here for a very long time (like almost the entire time you're allowed to sit when ordering AYCE). I would come here if you love Korean bbq and want friendly service and know you can eat a lot. I would not come here if you aren't very hungry, don't want to spend a lot, or are looking for a few appetizers/small plates to share. We ordered the brisket, flank steak, short ribs and garlic pork (short ribs were my least fav... The beef was great!). The small plates were meh... But they did a good job of keeping them full. The place tries hard to be really good, and who knows maybe they are short staffed? As far as covid the place is SUPER clean and it was busy... Which I take as a good sign. Support local! read more

I like It! It's tasty and the service is nice. Usually they have a lot of people in, but when we visited they had just opened and we were like the third table lol. The only downsides we can find to this place is that parking is a struggle and sometimes you have to ask multiple times for the rice paper before it makes it to your table. Also I can't recall them having bulgogi on the AYCE menu, but they did have these new bulgogi wraps which could be purchased separately. I will say, I love that they have the kpop music going and sometimes they have samples of drinks they're selling which is cool. We live far but we will make the drive again. read more

My new go-to AYCE Korean barbecue place! Gets pretty busy on weekends but they do take reservations through insta dms and email currently. Staff is really friendly and on top of things. Food-wise, the quality of the meats is good. It is a smaller selection of options than a lot of other ayce places - but it has all my favorites so I don't mind! You can get brisket, pork belly, kalbi, and I think they have one or two other marinated options too. Ayce comes with your meat choices, typical refillable banchan, and choice of soup. Good value for the price! read more

First time here and definitely will come back! Located in Chinatown, this AYCE kbbq spot is super convenient to get to with the LINK (for UW students at least) compared to others that are farther away. There are a decent amount options available to choose from, with a couple soups included too, and you choose 4 at a time. I do have to say that the garlic pork was super salty, but it could just be our batch. The sides were pretty good too, my favorite being the salad. Rice is also bottomless. The servers were pretty attentive and replaced our grill many many times which was nice and helpful. Overall, it's a fun atmosphere so come with friends to get the most out of your experience! read more

If you are looking for good korean bbq food, this is a must go. I loved the flavors and vibe of the place. The staff is welcoming. They change grills frequently on each table to avoid food burns. They have ample of seating so we did not have to wait. But I do want to say, service here can be often slow because they seem to be understaffed. I loved the peach soju. They have rules for wasting food, which is amazing but also strict. Lol. read more

Finally found an all-you-can-eat KBBQ restaurant in Seattle! Since we made a reservation for four by sliding into their Instagram DMs, we got seated immediately. The interior was quite spacious and modern. Even better, we were a reasonable distance away from other tables. Of course, we went for the AYCE option ($32.95) and ordered everything except the marinated boneless chicken. Overall, the food was pretty good. Unless many other spots I've tried, there was good ventilation, so we didn't walk out smelling like pork belly or marinated beef. Here, you have to grill the food yourself. The waiter mainly delivered our food and changed the grill consistently. Our waiter was super attentive and refilled our banchan several times, especially the fish cake and kimchi. While cooking the galbi, the grill charred easily. I recommend cooking the entire plate at once. The only downside was that everything was pretty fatty, so it was good to pair with rice. I would recommend trying this spot out. PS: I LOVED THE SOFT TOFU SOUP, AND THE MUSIC IS ON POINT. read more

3.5 stars. My friends and I arrived around 5:30pm on Friday, and the restaurant was almost empty, by the time we left ( 7:15pm), it was packed, so I can see it being busy. We ordered all you can eat, $36.95 per person. It has less options than I thought, and on top of that, they ran out of rice paper sheet as well as bulgogi wraps :( the meat was fine, I enjoyed the salad (not listed on the AYCE menu, but I see table next to us had it so I asked; fresh and the dressing is great!) and the banchan ( I especially like their peanuts and potato). The waiters were friendly and very attentive, they changed our grill really often without us asking. I think it's a alright/ average kbbq, nothing stands out, but reasonable price in Seattle city area ( in my opinion). read more

Best KBBQ I've had in a while! I had passed by Baegopa several times before they had opened and was so excited that an AYCE spot would be closer to the downtown Seattle area. It was super easy to make a reservation - you can either email them or message them on Instagram and they'll put your name down! We came in a little earlier than our reservation but was sat right away. There seemed to be only one person working but he was great - he did a way better job of hitting all tables with customers and meeting everyone's needs, than a group of several servers could do. I was super impressed with the quality and speediness of the service! Now on to the food - 5/5 stars for sure. There aren't a TON of different choices, but for the portions you get, it's definitely still worth it. We got every selection of meat except for chicken and only made it about one full round of 4 choices, plus two additional. The banchan and even the salad was impressive too. Everything tasted amazing, and was refillable so our dishes were never empty. The sauces were good, the flavors stood out, and the soup on the side was hearty and spicy. I highly recommend, and will for sure be back!!! read more

Solid AYCE Korean bbq spot with good quality meat. There are six choices of meat for AYCE now and our favorite was probably the beef brisket. Service was super attentive and nice- constantly checking on us and changing our grill. We went there at 5pm on a Friday and half the restaurant was already filled so if you come during peak hours def make reservations. Portions were also rly good and generous. We only got a second round of beef brisket bc we were stuffed. The only reason it's not five stars is it wasn't blow my mind Korean food/ bbq. after living in NY and eating Korean bbq at flushing, I've probably become spoiled by a huge selection of banchan. So if you're used to amazing Korean food from LA or Flushing Queens I would lower your expectations. That said this is a great addition to Korean food in the neighborhood and glad there's a bit more variety in ID. read more

Love love LOVE this place! We went on a Wednesday night around 8pm and waited about 30 mins for a table but it was WORTH IT! My partner and I chose AYCE and our favorite was beef brisket, marinated beef, and the short ribs. Service was TOP NOTCH!! The staff really work as a team here to make sure all of their guests are taken care of.

Great service and great quality of meat, however, not very much variety. An AYCE option per person is about $33 and just like with any other kbbq restaurant, everyone at the table has to get AYCE. They had a handful of meat options, including the classics - pork belly, brisket, and short ribs but they also had fried chicken and tofu soup as options for the AYCE menu. We ordered about 8 plates of meat to grill, a plate of fried chicken, and 4 tofu soups for 3 people and also had 2 Solmak towers, so we were pretty full by the end of the meal. If you're near ID and want kbbq, this is a good place to go for quality meat and good service, but if you're wanting a variety of meats or a cheaper option, skip it! read more

It was hard to recognize the inside of the old Sea Garden, sniff sniff. But my old haunt has transformed to Korean bbq. The meat was okay and maybe the marinade could be a little less in your face. But all in all, it's an okay place to grab some kbbq. We didn't try the ayce and the normal entree sizes were plenty to eat. read more

Decided to try this kbbq spot with one of my friend... well nevertheless i was so disappointed... pretty limited choices of meat... there were pork belly, brisket, chicken, tofu soup etc... tastewise just bland, nothing to rave about... for $30+ i expected better from a AYCE korean bbq. I wouldnt go back and would not recommend this joint to everyone. Food : 5/10 Service : 6/10 Price : 5/10 Ambience 6.5/10 read more

Weirdly, the place the side dishes prior to cleaning the table. So you don't know how long the side dishes has been on the table. The service was pretty great. They were helpful and attentive.

Came here as a walk in with a party of 4 on a Sunday night. We were able to get seated immediately and were given an assortment of banchan including kimchi, fish cake, bean sprouts, and pickled daikon. The banchan was okay, I've definitely had better kimchi elsewhere. AYCE was $37.99 for dinner as of 2/5/2023 and had a reasonable selection. They were out of LA galbi so they had marinated boneless short ribs on the menu instead. Our meal consisted mainly of brisket, pork belly, marinated boneless short ribs, and garlic beef. The meat quality was good, though I would've preferred if the short ribs weren't marinated. The service was good and fast. Baegopa wasn't bad considering we've been trying to find a decent AYCE KBBQ place in Seattle for a while read more

A great bbq spot (Korean). The service is very good and the meat choices were good. They were out of the LA Galbi beef this night. They replaced it with boneless short ribs. The food quality was good and the portions were ample. We would definitely return the next time we're in the ID. read more

Great price and I enjoy the choice of meats. I will say take it slow when ordering because it is really easy to over order. Meats come on a tower which is a unique experience I will say.

We've been here many times as it's the most frequented AYCE Korean BBQ that we go to in the Seattle area and it's located in the International District. The marinated short ribs are the best meat but the spicy pork is good too. The have a few appetizers as well that are good. read more

At last, a Korean BBQ place that is conveniently located right in Seattle, not far out like Lynnwood or Federal Way. It's really rare to find quality meat if it's an all you can eat option, but this place got it down. Nice ambiance, easy to get to, and great food. You can order up to 4 meat items at a time for all you can eat. I'm at a point of my life where I don't overeat to try to get my money's worth anymore, I just eat until I'm full and for 2 people, one round of meat was plenty since there was unlimited side dishes that keep coming out. The server was really good with constantly changing our grill also. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:) read more

Waffled a bit on the rating but I'd rate 4 stars overall. The AYCE option is priced pretty well and it's nice that they include tofu soup as part of it. It also recently expanded their AYCE meat variety as well, which was a nice surprise as when we previously checked the menu, it had only 3 or 4 different cuts. Meat quality is good. The brisket and marinated boneless short rib were the best of what we tried. Will compare some of the items to Exit 5 since it's our other most recent kbbq meal. Pork belly was good, but not as tender as the belly at Exit 5. Brisket shaved a bit thicker than Exit 5 as well. I prefer the thinner shaved brisket. The marinated boneless short rib was really good. Nicely balanced flavor and very tender. The item that we liked the least was the garlic beef. I'm not sure what cut they use, likely a cut from the chuck, but it had a big chunk of hard fat in the middle and meat was very tough. I would avoid that item. We didn't end up finishing it but we also weren't charge for the leftovers. If they used a more tender cut, it could be great because the flavor was good. My wife really liked the tofu soup and the banchan was good. Nothing special, but good. We also ordered the yuzu wings and although a little spicier than we were expecting, the flavor, crisp and juiciness were great. Overall a solid spot for AYCE kbbq with reasonable pricing and variety. The service was also great with frequent grill swaps and very attentive server (something we find lacking at many kbbq joints). read more

My husband and I were looking for KBBQ in the Seattle area and this place looked promising for AYCE. The inside was very clean and the AYCE menu had everything we wanted - brisket and kalbi. Banchan is immediately on the tablet and you can order up to 4 things at a time. We didn't get it when we went but they also offer rice paper as part of the AYCE choices. We got the kimchi rice instead which I really enjoyed. The only thing that bothered me a bit when cooking was how the brisket was cut/frozen. Because the pieces were not frozen, it was hard to separate while cooking on the grill and some of them were rolled very tightly which made it difficult to spread out on the grill as we prefer to cook our brisket lying flat to get it as crispy as possible. read more
