Anise K.

Had an amazing time at Bellwether in Chinatown! Highlights: All-You-Can-Eat KBBQ - seriously delicious, fresh, and flavorful; the meats were perfectly marinated Variety - so many options, from beef and pork to tasty sides Atmosphere - lively and fun, perfect for groups or a feast If you love KBBQ, this place is an absolute must-try!

Lamb shank

Review update. Came back to this spot a year later. This time earlier and got to really explore the menu. It is way better than i thought. Tried the wagyu beef toro and the thin sliced short ribs along with the lamb chops. All three of these were outstanding. Going to bring some friends back here before i leave town

It's a solid choice for all you can eat kbbq in Seattle. We love coming back because Groupon always has a deal, the price comes with the hot bar which has chicken wings, noodles, taro ball, and fried spring rolls, and they have a soft serve machine. I don't know what they do with the fried chicken wings at the hot bar but they are always so juicy and I love dipping it with the house chili sauce that is also at the hot bar. The cheapest option comes with kalbi on the menu which is great. They recently added more options on the menu such as kimchi soup and steamed egg which is great, but the soup was pretty salty. You also grab corn cheese, lettuce, mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, and onion from the bar to grill if you wish. If you love beer, they also have $1 refills. I only come here on the weekends and it gets pretty packed. They're also pretty understaffed so service can be slow. The waiting area has tea and snacks and they're often out of snacks. You order from a tablet once seated and sometimes I need to order the same thing multiple times before it gets to our table. The hot bar also runs out of things often when it's busy. The quality of the meat is average, nothing exceptional, but I've only ever gotten the cheapest option (option A). Overall, it's a cheap option in the city with a good variety when I'm craving kbbq.

This place has solid Korean barbecue. It's not the best but it gets the job done for the price. It's not super bad considering it's in Seattle, but the meats were nothing special. We got their basic option, which was option a I think it's honestly good enough, especially if you don't care that much about premium meats. The service here is a bit slow, but I think they might be a bit understaffed, considering how spotty was. This place does get pretty busy though as we waited for 20 minutes to get seated

friends and i were happy with this place! there was a good amount of selection for the A menu. Theres also a good amount of things at the salad bar. I was surprised to see dessert available as well. I didn't get to try their beef bone soup, but it looked pretty good as well

Aight so we were originally trying to get into happy lamb for a late xmas dinner, but the line was wayyyyyy too long so we "settled" for bellwether. But sheeeeeeit I'm glad we did! I've always seen/heard about this place but never had the opportunity to try it out. There are two different options for AYCE: "regular" vs "premium" (think wagyu options). We opted for the regular option A + AYCE beers, which were $8.99 for the first one and then $1.00 for each additional glass (fam I had 7!). Total per person after a 20% tip was around $55-70 depending on how much ya drank hahaha. Service was great! All the employees were super busy especially since it was a holiday... but they were all super kind and efficient. The quality of the meats was ok. Not the best, but also I've had worse elsewhere (but again, perhaps the premium option had better cuts, too). I believe we were limited to ordering 5 items with a 10minute lockout in between orders. Honestly not sure if there's an actual time limit for the meal either. But yeah! I'd def recommended checking em out. I'm def chancing their premium option next time!

It was our first time here and it was just ok. Self service food area was very dirty, they were out of rice for almost 30min. Not sure if I will be back.

The marinated beef. Yum!
Sara C.

Welcome to my favorite KBB spot the city has to offer! So many amazing protein options to choose from at a really great price. Service is quick and friendly, and helpful (if it's your first time). A hot bar of yummy bites, sauces, and soft serve are just a few steps away from your own sizzling grill. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. Perfect for feastful date night or large parties.

Brian G.

Improved experience the last couple of times we've gone. Corina and Sabrina have been great, quick, and attentive. Surprisingly everyone had a birthday the day my family and I went therefore there were back to back happy birthday songs and everyone was singing along. The self service counter is always amazing, a big improvement in getting our sides, all you can drink beer is always great. The hostess is always kind.

Isaac L.

overall great place to go to for a casual dining went here two years ago and came back and it still was what i remembered. like infatuations said, the meats are nothing special or no like marinade that's over the top, but gets the job done. we got the premium this time and enjoyed it. i would say if you do do the premium, look on the groupon and save yourself $30. the pickled radish was probably the best thing out there and paired with the brisket sauce. the staff was a little bit spotty, but that's probably because there are like 4 people attending like 30 tables for dinner. would come back and would recommend others to come here

Dining at this distinguished barbecue establishment is nothing short of a gastronomic reverie--an…read moreexperience where rustic tradition meets culinary sophistication with effortless grace. From the moment one crosses the threshold, the air itself seems perfumed with a slow‑smoked promise of delight, beckoning diners into a realm where time-honored craft reigns supreme. The brisket, a veritable masterpiece, arrives with a bark so exquisitely rendered it borders on the poetic. Each slice yields with gentle persuasion, revealing marbling that melts into a silken whisper upon the tongue. The ribs, lacquered in a glaze of subtle sweetness and smoky depth, cling tenderly to the bone, surrendering with an elegance that speaks to hours of meticulous tending over smoldering embers. Even the sides--often relegated to mere accompaniment--command admiration. The cornbread is a golden triumph, delicately crumbed yet luxuriously moist, while the collard greens possess a soulful richness that lingers like a cherished memory. And the house-made sauces, presented with almost ceremonial reverence, offer a spectrum of flavor that elevates each bite without ever overshadowing the meat's inherent artistry. Service is attentive without intrusion, delivered with a warmth that mirrors the glowing hearth at the heart of the kitchen. One leaves not merely satisfied, but genuinely moved by the harmony of craft, care, and culinary passion. In a world crowded with pretenders, this BBQ sanctuary stands as a beacon of authenticity and refinement--a place where smoke becomes symphony and every plate tells a story worth savoring.

You know it's good when you pull up the establishment and they have not only a long line, but also a paper dictating what is sold out, which they update on a 10-15 minute interval. Waiting in line is the most time consuming part of this experience, as we probably waited 20-30 minutes to get to the front to place our order - which is good sign! You can definitely formulate what meats and sides you want as you get closer to the front. Parking for the restaurant is a bit difficult, I think the only options we found while visiting was streetside, and we were fortunate to find a spot only a block away. I could totally see it being impossible to find parking when it gets really busy in the area. Once you get your food, there is plenty of seating, from high tops, to booths, to tables, to outdoor seating with a fire pit. We got a good variety of items, which I'll review a couple down below: Brisket: A good brisket with a nice visible smoke ring. Similar to the pork belly, you can tell the skill of a barbecue restaurant from how their brisket is, and this brisket is delicious! Really meaty and pleasant smoke flavor. I think we did get a leaner cut of brisket as there wasn't as much fat to help with the leanness. Beef Cheek: A delicious cut of meat that melts in the mouth, and has a pleasant smokey flavor. Out of the three cuts of meat, this one was unfortunately salted the heaviest. The first couple of bites are delicious and really delicious, but it goes really overwhelming the more you eat it. If you order this, definitely get some sides to help. Pomegrante Pork Belly: A solid BBQ pork belly that has a pleasing fatty crust with a meaty interior. This is what I would consider a good baseline for a reputable barbecue restaurant. It is advertised as pomegrante pork belly, but I unfortunately wasn't able to taste any flavor of pomengrate - maybe a tiny bit in the glaze/bark but that could just be attributed to the sugar. Mac and Cheese: A pretty comforting side! bechamel sauce is really creamy and fully coats each noodle. The noodles were at the sweet spot of soft and having enough integrity to hold their shape. Cherry and Rhubarb Cobbler: Wow, this is an amazing dessert! I haven't had a cobbler where they added cardamom to the crust before, and I think it works spectacularly. The cardamom gives a nice floral taste to the crust, which is complemented by the tart and fruity filling. I think this is one of the better if not best desserts I've had a barbecue shop, and the small tweaks made were creative and delicious! In the end, I think we paid about $100 for everything you see here. Having been to a couple of BBQ places, I would say that it is pretty standard pricing. Good BBQ does take a lot of effort and it does come at a premium. Outsider BBQ is absolutely delicious - if you are looking to get some comforting food, they definitely have you covered. I would totally revisit to try their items that got sold out (missed the beef cheeks, need to try those!) the time we visited!

Not only was this the best birthday BBQ experience I've had in years, Jacks went out of their way to make sure my special day was exactly that! The server Michael was incredibly kind and welcomed us very warmly. When he found out it was our first time there, he went above and beyond to give us the rundown of what Jacks is and does well (spoiler, everything!) - And then when he found out it was my birthday he really made me and my wife feel special, including offering us a little tour of the smokers in the back after our meal was over, which was amazing!! And all of this wouldn't even matter as much if the food didn't hit - but HOLY SMOKES - can easily say this was THE BEST BBQ I have ever had in Seattle, by miles!! Everything we got was heavenly! The loaded fries with beef bacon and queso was a highlight but "the trinity" was phenomenal as well! On top of all of that, the place has such an awesome vibe and aura- Texas BBQ through and through!

Happily, the folks at Jack's BBQ have done their homework, and this establishment is a happy outlier. THE ROSES: Ample parking. Dining space is roomy and comfortable with a genuine (not Disneyfied) West Texas ambience. Clean restrooms and competent staff. The BBQ is the Real Deal. Perfectly smoked meats prepared with care. This stuff doesn't need sauce, even though bottles of regular and spicy house-made BBQ is available for those who want it. Diners have their choice of a lot of creative sides. THE THORNS: A little spendy. The bottom line is that BBQ may have once upon a time been the cuisine of the Poors, but not any more. Good BBQ is labor-intensive, and doesn't come cheap. THE VERDICT: Seattle still isn't a BBQ town, but Jack's BBQ is about as close as you're probably going to get to real down-south BBQ in this town. Recommend!

One of them walked over and very casually threw out a "last call," without explaining how many minutes were left or checking whether we wanted to order anything else. Everyone at our table was caught off guard. It felt like we were being rushed to finish and pushed out, which made things really awkward and gave us a sense of being treated differently from other guests. If the goal was to manage the floor or control timing, the very least they could've done was explain it clearly: something like "You have X minutes left for last orders" or "We close at X time," instead of dropping one vague line and walking away, leaving guests to guess what's going on. When guests feel respected and in a good mood, we naturally order more and tip better. But when the attitude is poor and we feel rushed, it doesn't matter that the extra money isn't going directly into those servers' pockets - it just makes people not want to come back at all. 这次在 Niku 的用餐体验真的非常失望。 整晚不是店里忙不过来,而是有两位服务生对我们非常不尊重,甚至多charge了我们$60刀。 他们走到我们桌前,语气很敷衍地丢下一句"last call",完全没有说明还剩几分钟、也没有确认我们是不是还需要再点。整桌人都被说愣了,只觉得好像是被"赶单""赶人",气氛非常尴尬,也让我们感到被区别对待的感觉。 如果你们真的是为了控场或时间安排,最基本也要说明清楚:"还有 X 分钟可以最后点单""我们几点关店"之类,而不是轻飘飘一句话就走人,让客人自己去猜。 客人心情好、感受到被尊重,大家自然愿意多点一些、给更好的小费;态度差、让客人觉得被赶,钱也不是进那两个服务生自己口袋,最后只会让大家不想再来。

One day, lightning struck a tree, causing a massive forest fire that killed many animals. Our ancestors then discovered that cooked meat tasted much better than raw meat. This is why roast meat has always been regarded as an important part of the human diet. Today I gathered with friends and chose this barbecue restaurant. It's located north of Redmond, with a prominent sign and plenty of parking. Ambiance: The decor is creative, but it feels quite contradictory. Barbecue is inherently a very "Jianghu" (lively, rough-and-tumble) kind of thing, yet the restaurant leans toward an artistic, literary style. When I used to run my own restaurant, I followed a principle: avoid anything unrelated to the core dining experience. Seeing many books on the shelves here, I understand they're trying to bridge Jianghu and artistry -- but it clearly feels out of place. That said, the place is very clean, and the stickers/decorations are festive. Service: My high rating for this restaurant is largely based on the service. After we sat down, we were given free appetizers -- braised peanuts, which tasted great. The staff training is very professional, whether it's taking orders, making recommendations, attending to us during the meal, or checking on tables and refilling water. All excellent. Taste: Jianghu-style cuisine is characterized by boldness, satisfaction, and not sweating the small details. We ordered spicy hot pot (Malatang), spicy hot pot skewers, grilled beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, oysters, and many other items. First, the Malatang and spicy skewers tasted almost identical, so it felt like eating the same thing. The grilled skewers were just average -- neither good nor bad. The oysters were very tasty. However, the shrimp in the spicy skewers were very unfresh, which was disappointing. "By the way, the prices at 'Friendship Skewers' are anything but friendly -- I think it's quite overpriced overall."
