Korean BBQ, grill is in the center and you cook the meat yourself.
Cheol K.

So the head cook from H Mart recently bought this restaurant. It is still an AYCE Korean BBQ, but much better. The amount of banchan and side dishes available exponentially increased. And every single one of them tasted fantastic! I had to restrain myself from eating more Korean bbq wings, onion pancakes, mandu, etc. The meats were all well-marinated and of decent quality. The staff consistently changed out the grill plates to keep us grilling properly. I'd definitely come back and will make sure to bring an appetite!

Side dishes

This place has a lot of side dish options, but the quality is meh. Meat is not super fresh and the tempura appetizers are cold and stale. Personally, in my opinion, it's not worth the price compared to other AYCE options nearby. Has a huge parking lot.

Pork belly is always the must have for kbbq

I have been to Arirang both the Lynnwood location and Mill Creek location several times throughout the years. The most recent visit to the Lynnwood location was a little disappointing as we noticed their AYCE menu meat selection was only down to 4 kinds - beef brisket, pork belly, marinated meat, and shrimp. We didn't eat shrimps so we ended up only having 3 kinds of meat for all you can eat. The side dish /salad/soup bar was amazingly with a lot of different kinds of food for you to take though. Nonetheless, we felt the selection of AYCE meats was very small compared to other AYCE KBBQ places. And we were there for the bbq meats, not for the other cooked dishes. The staff was friendly. The restaurant is big and spacious. Parking is always easy here as there is a parking lot.

Self-served banchan!

As a Christmas celebration, my coworkers and I went here for their AYCE KBBQ. Super excited as I haven't been to an AYCE KBBQ for such a loooong time. My manager made a reservation for 10 people in advance, and we were able to seat easily after a long work day. The location that we went to is located in the Eunia Plaza on Highway 99 in Lynnwood. There's a parking lot with ample parking. The restaurant was relatively big. It can definitely accommodate a lot of huge parties which was great! Instead of the normal grill in the table, their grills are the portable, slanted circular ones on top of the table which is very common in Korea (according to the dramas I've watched at least LOL). We all ordered the K2 AYCE BBQ set which was $33 per person. Not a bad deal! It contained marinated beef, chicken, spicy pork, beef short rib, beef brisket, pork belly, and pork collar. Since there were 3 tables of us, our server just brought everything at once and from there, we ordered whatever we wanted more of. I thought that was a great way to start the meal as we were all able to try everything first before ordering more of something we wanted. It also saved a lot of time deciding what we wanted like how some places have a max 4-5 meats each time. The meat were all delicious! The marinated ones were especially really good. Unlike many KBBQ places, this restaurant had a buffet style of banchan which was amazing! We got to load up our plates with different banchans instead of fighting for more then ordering more with our server. They had about 8 choices of banchan including egg drop soup! The egg drop soup was soooo good. I couldn't help myself and got a ton of servings even though I was super full LOL. There were also sauces we could choose on the side (doenjang (soy bean paste), chili pepper, shoyu, etc.). Overall, this is definitely a great place for AYCE KBBQ for a reasonable price. Especially since there aren't that many places in northern Seattle compared to lower Seattle. Definitely will be back!

The beef radish soup. This is part of the side dish table. The soup was very tasty.

My daughter took me here on Father's Day last year. We had the all you can eat meal. The server brings the raw meat to the table and there's a hot grill in the center. On another side table you can get other items to grill with your proteins like fresh garlic or sliced chili peppers just to name a few. Then you have a side dish table loaded with many types of kimchi. Its buffet style so you can fell free to serve your self. Even if you not eating a top dollar item that kimchi table is open to all of their customers. I went to another place near by that just gave me a very tiny portion of a few kimchi's and was very disappointed. Not here ! I had lunch there today and loved the soft tofu beef soup. I was treated just like I was a Korean. No second class service here. I'm hoping to come back on Father's Day this year. I might have been Korean in my last life I love the food so much!

We came around 8:00pm on a Saturday, so it was pretty busy. We got seated around 8:30pm, and there was 9 of us, so we had to wait for them to put two tables together. I really liked that you just go grab your own meat (except you have to order brisket from them) from the cold bar. And they had a nice hot bar. Lots of sides you can choose from. And this was the first time I saw marinated crab for all-you-can-eat, and I ate more of that than anything else. Service was friendly, and food was great.

Came here on 4/16 for a bday dinner with 12 people (3 kids under 3). We made a reservation and were seated promptly. The waitress was patient and continued to check in with us as we waited for the enitre party to arrive before ordering. We ordered: - 9 K1 AYCE - 5 sodas - 2 steamed eggs I thought the food was pretty good! My favorite cut is the pork belly and there was no shortage as the waitress continued to bring portions as I asked. For some reason it was a challenge to get more water but it is what it is. After asking 3 times, she brought over 5 full bottles for us to pour at our leisure. There is a side bar full of various side dishes, lettuce, sauces, kimchi, and rice. I thought the overall experience was good and certainly felt better than the low average this place has. I'd definitely go back. They do automatically charge an 18% gratuity for parties larger than 6. Total was about $376.

My family and I stopped here for lunch and we opted for ordering a La carte even though they had an all you can eat option. It was pretty empty as we came during an off time (around 2 pm) and I wish the staff gave us a bigger table because the 4 top was quite small with how much food we ordered plus the bbq grill in the middle took up some space. The quality of the rib eye was not that good (a bit tough) and the chicken was not that flavorful. However the beef short ribs were good. One of the better things was that the normal banchan did not come out in small dishes but rather offered like a salad bar so we were able to go and get as much sides as we wanted.

"The AYCE Korean BBQ experience was underwhelming. The servers didn't properly maintain the grill, which should have been changed when it got dirty. The food was just okay--nothing particularly impressive. Service and quality could use improvement."

I have no idea what happened but I love it. Arirang has stepped up big time from the old, basically serviceless KBBQ I once knew. I placed this place at 1-2 stars in the past but am happy with how things are after COVID made them change up. Glad to share I had a much better experience as I avoided this place for a long time. Obviously, you need to have expectations as this is one of the cheaper AYCE KBBQ options and you can't expect amazing food or quality or anything. This rating was originally a solid 4 stars but then I considered the price and how much they increased which dropped me to 3.5ish but still rounding up. I think my higher rating is because of my previous expectations so I was pleasantly surprised. Service here used to be embarrassing. You were never checked on, they'd forget requests, and everyone would get full from just waiting. Thing is, in the past you would flag down a server for everything from meats to a grill change to water to side dishes to rice. Now it's only meats, grill change, and water that you need to request. All the sides and rice are nicely placed in a corner (maybe not so nice if you're super skeptical of COVID). With the reduced cognitive load, servers are more likely to remember what you request and get back to you in a timely manner. I know in the past I could ask for multiple bowls of rice for the table and they'd come back 20 minutes later to tell us that they're cooking rice. Then they'd completely forget. Now, there's a huge rice cooker ready with all the rice in the world and they check on it often. Now, the staff are extremely friendly and willing to help out. They try to check on you very little until they notice you're missing meats which I respect because they don't want to constantly interrupt any conversations or whatever. It's really easy to flag one down by looking for them and they'll come ask if you need anything. Change in staff definitely helped improve the place. I swear the menu's changed a bit but not too sure. I recall always ordering the E2 AYCE option among others and now there's only 3 options (K1 K2 K3). Maybe it was a simple name change from E2 to K2 but I can't recall. I do know that the price was like $18.99 or just under $20 before COVID. Now it's $25 so definitely heftier. This is comparing the cheapest option, there are more expensive ones with slight more variety but I genuinely don't think the extra choices validate the price points as they're not that amazing. Happy with the way things operate now (finally) but disappointed with the price increase.

Yogurt Soju and Grapefruit Soju!

Arirang, located in Lynnwood, is the only Korean BBQ spot in town that I know of offering outdoor dining in tents. Each tent is equipped with its own gas grill, heater, and Bluetooth speaker. There is ventilation on the bottom of the tent and you can keep the flap doors open for additional air flow. 1) Service (+): Our server was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. We called to make a reservation ahead of time for a Saturday evening but there were ample tents available for walk-in around 7pm. 2) Ambience (+): I love the cozy and brightly lit atmosphere that the restaurant was even able to replicate outdoors! Each tent even has its own theme! The restaurant had good COVID safety protocols with the server wearing masks and gloves the whole time. 3) Food (+): I was surprised by the low 2.5 star rating for Arirang, as I found the quality and portion of the food here very impressive. The 3 of us ordered 2 people's portion of grilled pork belly and we were so satisfied! Each order of 2 or more portions of meat came with cheesy corn, steamed egg, kimchi stew, a variety of side dishes (including potato salad, fish cakes, radish and cabbage kimchi) and rice. We also ordered a seafood pancake. 4) Alcohol/Drinks (+): There is a large selection of Korean beer and soju here. They even had my favorite flavored sojus - including yogurt and grapefruit! 5) Value for Money (+): The prices are great here for the quality and diversity of options, with each person's serving of beef/pork going for about $25-$30.

Amazing food and service!! This was a great idea for outdoor dining with separate tents for each party. It's like outdoor private dining. We got the K1 for $30 a person. Quality of the meet was not too bad either. Better than most places that I have been too. It was juicy and flavorful. Pork belly had a lot of fat and that is what I LOVE. Cheese corn was mouthwatering and delicious !!!! Wish we could've ordered more, but too full. Everything they had handed out was great quality and super super good. Nothing disappointing at all. Workers were polite and caring. They seemed busy, but still got everything out as fast as possible.

Maybe the chef can find a way to achieve just enough tenderness while still being crunchy, which would be perfect. Another thing, my bowl looks burned on the edges. Kudos to all staff!

We usually give a new establishment a few years before we try it to let the crowds die down a bit. Anywhos, it was a Friday evening and we decided to give it a try since we were around at 530pm. The decor is nice and the space is quite large however that doesn't mean they'll seat every table bc they probably don't have enough servers on hand for that. We tend to gravitate towards ACYE KBBQ, but opted to try this one. The steamed egg was delicious! Can pass on the soybean stew. We ordered a combo meat set which came with beef belly and 2 pork shoulder slices to grill. The beef and pork bulgogi came out already cooked. You have the option to grill yourself or have the server do it. The spam and egg kimbap was plain and basic so skip that. The side dishes were pretty good although the napa kimchi was a little ripe. The dipping sauce was yummy. The service got pretty slow and we had to ask for the same thing multiple times (utensils, beer). Overall, this place is decent.

My boyfriend and I stopped by here after a long drive from Kent as we are staying at a nearby hotel…read morefor a convention and it was pretty late so most places were closed. I had Dawa on my bookmarks for a long time ever since I saw videos about it and just the overall good reviews. We came in and saw that the place was pretty packed on a Thursday night but we were noticed quickly by a male employee and seated right away thankfully. Once we were seated, we were handed water and utensils as well as directions on how we can order as they have a small kiosk. We put in our order of galbi fried chicken, pork on the bone stew or gamjatang, and grilled pork belly. Once the order was entered, our waiter came back with rice, banchan, sauces and accompaniments for the pork belly, salad (think it comes with the grilled pork belly), pickled radish for the chicken and plates and bowls to share. It didn't take too long for food to come back but it didn't all come together which was odd but luckily the chicken was for sharing. The gamjatang was huge and pretty good, not as good as one of my favorite places in Federal Way but I will admit that they do give some huge pieces of meat and offer a one time refill of the soup. It could use more of a kick and more seasoning. The chicken as many others have mentioned was extremely well-fried, marinated and extremely huge. I do think they have the biggest Korean fried chicken pieces that I have ever seen in Washington. The meat was juicy, the outside was crunchy, and the sauce was heavenly. My boyfriend did say the grilled pork belly was some of the best he has ever had in his life, which is super high praise and I will admit that it is very good as well! They had an interesting playlist ranging from K-pop to regular pop (lots of Justin Bieber) and sometimes they would tone it down a bit then start blasting it. The two male servers working that day (7/16/26) were fantastic about checking in at perfect times, were courteous and refilled our waters. We never had to use to kiosk to call them once which I appreciated very much. My boyfriend and I look forward to coming back and definitely want to give a heads up that their portions are huge so come hungry!
