I love Bellwether. I've been here four times now. This place is Asian legit: AYCE, lots of meat, good deal, open late, and they've added a beer special, too. It's really designed for catching up with friends over a leisurely meal. The quality of meat is good, especially the brisket and the marinated lamb. I always get Option A, the cheapest. Delicious unlimited banchan, too. Skip the ready-to-eat items at the bar. Save that space for meat. They have a soda machine and an ice cream machine, too. The best part about this place is the service. Everyone here is extremely nice and attentive. Shout out to my fave girl Kaixin. The BEST. It's my new favorite spot. read more

The worst BBQ place, they tried to replicate Korean bbq, not even close. Quality of meat needs help.

This review comes from a perspective of a Californian who has eaten a LOT of good KBBQ. Bellwether is an improvement on my low bar for Seattle KBBQ because most places are actually this place is not great but it is good if you have a solid cook. The sides are higher quality than the meat I would honestly skip if you're used to nicer or typically high quality meats This would be good for Seattle natives who really want a lot of meat aren't aren't super picky. Service is good, very attentive and we got asked often if we needed anything. The place is new so kinda clean but just uses YouTube to play EDM sets which is very hit or miss depending on what you want to vibe out with. Thick Pork Belly Beef Belly Angus Beef read more

Bellwether BBQ&Grill - Beef Corn cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Came here with some friends on a Monday night. It was not too busy and the place was well decorated! One part I loved was the side bar. Definitely put there to help people fill up on carbs, but I was not mad because the tater tots were amazing!! We got the premium course and the meats were pretty good. I loved the kalbi short ribs! The meats were great quality, but the only thing I would suggest is ask for the meats without salt or salt on the side because there was a little too much salt on the wagyu. They also give free coconut ice cream at the end of the meal which was pretty good too. Our server was great and very attentive and fast. Overall, I would come here again! read more

The inside is festive with K-pop music videos playing and can get pretty loud. The service is attentive in that the server will swap out the grill grate when it becomes too sticky or charred. ACYE Asian BBQ includes banchan and the food bar that has vegetables, fruit, dessert, fried chicken wings, fried egg rolls, and some other hot food items. You can order up to 4 items from the ACYE menu at a time and there's a good variety of meats on the menu. The meat quality is not the best as the cuts are tough and the marinated galbi was too salty. It's a fun place to dine if you are looking for a festive atmosphere and ACYE Asian BBQ and food bar, but don't expect the best quality meats as you would get if you were going to a Korean BBQ restaurant and paying a la carte for the meats. read more

Came for the soft opening and was thoroughly impressive by it. For $45 in premium (20% off), the meat quality was pretty good. There was lots of variety in both the premium and regular options. I really liked how they had "other" dishes like the grilled fish! Was so surprised it was a while foil pan precooked and flavorful. The bone in short ribs was perfectly flavored, not too sweet and not too saucy. The beef belly was delicious, I don't think I can go back to pork belly or even brisket now. The staff was all very friendly. They were able to speak to the food and answer questions. The entrance reminded me of Haidilao with the snacks and drinks in the waiting area. The ordering style was 4 dishes at a time, which I liked how they didn't skimp out on quantity per dish. We were able to eat and control how much we ordered, while enjoying it. I'll be interested to see what else they do as this place gets more popular. Wish the sides in the bar were a bit fresher, but maybe it's because not many people were here. Similarly, I wish they had more dipping sauces like sesame oil. Their house sauce was great though! They just opened a week ago, so they're doing pretty good! Great deal and option to have in international district. read more

Took me a long time to put down a review. Overall experience is definitely 5 out of 5. I have been coming here fairly often as I found great value in this place. Service Staff has always been super nice to me. Small talks while sitting down, circles back in time when meat runs out or grill needs changed, never rushed me out. To me, that's all I want. It's a busy BBQ AYCE place, as long as my orders are in, I'm cooking and eating, I don't expect too much from the servers. Food In a AYCE BBQ place, meat quality is the most important thing. And it is almost always good. All three combos have great options. My favorites from Combo A are beef brisket, beef belly, pork belly, QIQIHAR lamb and squid. Favorites from Combo B are finger meat (very very good), pork jowl and beef tongue. And I love everything in Combo C, although i rarely order the ribeye and lamb shoulder. To be completely unbiased, within the last 20 times I've been here, I have had plates of beef tongue or brisket or some other ones that are just insanely lean and chewy. I understand if not the best to waste those end pieces, but doing so will hurt the experience, especially for people who are here for the first time. Maybe improvise, for example, turn the lean part of the beef tongue into thick cuts? The menu is always changing/adding, which is fantastic. There is something to be excited about from time to time. Most of the menu changes have been great, especially the most recent wagyu toro. However, some items are very interesting at best, like the cold rice cake, the elevated instant noodle (top ramen?), the kimchi lunch box.... Side dishes are pretty good. There are additional side options at the bar. And most importantly, there is an ice cream machine, a perfect way to end a meal. Ambiance The ambiance is good. Am I comparing to a fancy steakhouse? No. This is the expected ambiance for a BBQ place. They used to cycle through EDM music, not its K-Pop. I like the music and all, sometimes my seat is vibrating. Overall, despite the minor stuff, I would still give this place 5 star for the combined experience and recommend everyone to try! read more

If you are looking for one of the more solid AYCE barbecue restaurants in the Seattle area, I can let you know that your search can come to a pause as Bellwether BBQ&Grill is a great place to fulfill that want! I've been to Bellwether a couple of times, usually on Fridays, and I feel the service quality has gone up a bit every time. Bellwether is located in Chinatown, and parking can be difficult depending on where and how much you are willing to pay for parking - everything from streeside to parking at Uwajimaya (you'll have to get some groceries to make it worthwhile). There is a free parking garage underneath the restaurant, though it definitely fills up quickly and is a bit cramped. You can get on the waitlist at the entrance of the restaurant when you first walk in. Service is fast - there might be a wait if the restaurant is especially busy, but usually you'll get a table quickly even when there are 2-4 parties ahead of you on the waitlist. The AYCE is $40 - which I think is a good deal if you have a large capacity, as it opens up the base menu with additional appetizers and desserts at the bar. Service is continuously good throughout the whole experience, unlike other AYCE establishments that I have been to, where service continuously dips after your 2nd order. The appetizer bar has chicken wings, fruit, soup, and many other options you can get while waiting for your order. The quality of the meats is good, and the grill itself is powerful - you can get many orders of meat in during your visit as your meat cooks in minutes. One thing that I would really recommend is the spicy lamb shank - flavored strongly with szechuan spice, tender on the inside, and slightly crispy on the outside. We ordered this thing almost every round as it was so freaking good. Also, you get a complimentary small ice cream cup at the end when you are paying your bill, which is a nice touch! In terms of price, quantity, and price vs other restaurants in the area, I personally think that Bellwether does it best. Quality of the meats is good, flavor and service is fast, and the flavor is great. I can definitely recommend Bellwether BBQ&Grill as a great place in the Seattle area to engage in a BBQ AYCE! read more

What an experience! My husband and I had a fantastic date night at a Bellwether BBQ & Grill. All you can eat? You bet we came hungry! As we entered the restaurant, we were warmly greeted by friendly staff members. We arrived just 30 minutes after they opened, allowing us to snag a cozy seat by the window when it wasn't too busy. Once we were seated, we were promptly provided with two cups, a pitcher of water, and our banchan (Korean side dishes: kimchee, potato salad, spicy cucumber, fish cake and bean sprouts). Our server gave us some time to go through the menu, and since it was our first time there, we had a few questions. Thankfully, our server was knowledgeable and offered some excellent recommendations. The Food Selection Process We decided to start by checking out the food bar, which boasted an array of desserts, soup, and sides like fried chicken, chop chae, buttered corn with shredded cheese, white rice, and more. After scouting the food bar, we were eager to order our choice of meats. The restaurant allowed us to order four different types of meats at a time. Here's What We Tried: Thin Sliced Pork Belly - 10/10: Delicious, but needed a bit of salt and pepper for extra flavor. Marinated Short Rib - 10/10: Flavorful and perfectly cooked to our liking. Spicy Marinated Octopus - 5/10: A bit too chewy for our liking, and not as enjoyable as the other options. Tiger Shrimp - 7/10: Rather plain in taste, but easily enhanced with salt and pepper. Lamb Shoulder - 8/10: Great flavor, especially when paired with the accompanying sauces. Beef Brisket - 7/10: A bit fatty, but still tasty. We expected a thicker cut, though. Marinated Garlic Chicken - 8/10: Great for the Garlic Lovers! Packs a punch with the garlic flavor. After our meal, we couldn't help but plan a return trip with our friends. The variety of choices offered at the restaurant is perfect for a group outing, providing a fun and interactive dining experience. We can't wait to come back for another round of delicious food and enjoyable moments with friends! read more

For some reason I thought this was a Korean BBQ place. The sauces provided were not typical Korean BBQ sauces; although you can request for samjang. Banchan was ok and the meat was fine. I think I went there with a different expectation. Honestly, if you're looking for an All You Can Eat BBQ, its good but its not a traditional Korean BBQ joint. read more

We went for the top-tier option expecting something special, but it was disappointing from start to finish. The meat was mediocre, and the so-called wagyu had no depth of flavor -- definitely not worth the hype or price. On top of that, most of the sides had to be picked up yourself, which just killed the whole "premium" vibe they try to sell. If you're visiting from out of state, don't waste your time or money on this weak ASS spot. Plenty of better options around. read more

The meat we ordered was pretty good. The stir fry noodles available at the buffet counter and the corn cheese were also good. We ordered more meat but somehow the waitress didn't get right and so we didn't even get to enjoy a 2nd round. They gave us a "discount" but it was pretty much just tax. For how much we paid we should have had a more enjoyable experience. The service sucks and it wasn't even busy. There's way better kbbq places. read more

Really busy establishment! We did the all you can eat for $48 pp and that means they bring you out all sorts of meat that comes with that price. It was delicious with endless sides. Our waiter name Ming also happens to be the manager was busting his A__! He was so awesome, super friendly and always made sure he met our needs!! It's always so great to see a hard working Manager who cares about the business!! read more

The first time I went it wasn't as good but the second time we had changed out the grill to the normal metal grill, and I feel like it was a lot better without the Smokey taste (idk maybe it's preference). I really like the variety of meat options and the sides, I also like the complimentary snacks and tea at the front. read more

Bellwether BBQ&Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I love this all-you-can-eat BBQ place! The $39.98 price is a great deal considering the quality of meat we get. My favorites are the American Wagyu and ribeye, always fresh with great flavor after a quick grill. I can't get enough of the marinated short rib and premium beef belly either, although watch out for those flames when grilling the beef belly! If you love grilled seafood, don't miss out on the grilled fish fillet(spicy), it's already cooked, so there is no need to grill it again. It's served with a perfect sauce coating on the fried fish. Additionally, this dish comes with some sliced grilled potatoes. I love putting the potato slices back on the grill to make them extra crispy. The marinated octopus and garlic mussels are another must tries. The garlic mussels are rich and flavorful with that blend of butter and garlic. And the octopus with spicy sauce delivers just the right kick. Despite the limit of ordering only four items at a time, the service here is fantastic. And the food bar is stocked with all different appetizers and veggies. The staff is always friendly and quick to help with anything, including changing grill pans. Plus, the little birthday singing performance from the staff adds a special touch to the overall dining experience. read more

My husband and I found this place about 6 weeks ago, and fell in love with it! We have since been back 2 times with our 9 & 11 year olds, who agree it is their favorite restaurant! The food is amazing, the value is great, and the service is fantastic! Ming is always very kind and goes out of his way to make sure everyone is having a great time! When we went to dinner last night, he even informed us that they will be lowering the price this week, which means we will be going even more often now! Highly recommend! read more

Great! We loved it. We left full and happy. Service was good and the atmosphere was cool.

Holy cow this place is phenomenal. This is probably one of the best, if not THE best kbbq spots I've been to in Washington. I came here on a Thursday evening and got seated right away. You scan a QR code to access the menu and we chose the Choice option (instead of premium). There is a self service side section that includes a lot of delicious stuff. Such as potstickers, cucumbers, fruits, kimchijigae, tater tots (my personal favorite) and many more. We started off with the beef belly, pork belly, angus beef, and sausages. The beef belly and pork belly - oh my god. Suuuper flavorful and delicious. Had to get another round of those two! The angus beer was a little too chewy but still good. Ambiance is nice. Modern feel with a lot of edm playing in the background lol. Service was pretty good. At the end of our meal, we got free ice cream. Would definitely come back. Highly recommend! read more

Came here with a few friends and overall had a good experience. We came for dinner on a weekday and it wasn't too crowded. There are 2 choices for AYCE, regular and premium (which has a few additional items like wagyu, beef tongue, etc). We opted for premium, and I found everything to be pretty good, but not really amazing either. One special item here that they don't have at other KBBQ places is the crispy baked lamb shank, which comes out precooked. Self serve side bar was just meh. They had some things like seaweed salad and cheese corn IIRC. Seating is comfortable and service is decent. However the grill is pretty small so it's hard to cook a lot of meat at once, which kind of worked out since we ended up eating more. The flame at our table also kept going out, which was kind of annoying because we had to call a server over 4-5 times to get it fixed. They do have garage parking, but the lot is extremely small and very hard to get in/out of. Would recommend just finding street parking instead. PSA ask for ice cream at the end! read more

More of Chinese version of hot pot. Items you order are fresh and tasty the way you cook them.

I love this new AYCE KBBQ spot in Seattle's International District! All the servers a quick and really really friendly. They place electronic music inside on the TV screens and thats my vibe! They have parking under the restaurant, limited but free. Premium AYCE $45.98 Choice AYCE $ 35.98 We went with the premium AYCE and I found that it was well worth it, all the items we got were on the menu were so good. We got the Waygu, ribeye, thick pork belly and crispy baked lamb shank. When we went they didnt have the bone in short rib because they said they replaced it with the wagyu and had not corrected the menu yet. The meat tasted really fresh and the grills gave it that great char flavoring. They have a self service side bar that is included which had chowmein, rice, soups, lettuce wraps, desserts, spring rolls even crab rangoons! ( i hope they add some sauce for the spring rolls and rangoons). They also have a self service soda machine, which is great because you dont have to wait for a refill. At the end they give you a creamy popsicle (mine was coconut). I truly cant wait to go back. read more

Damn I can't believe I have been eating a Happy Lamb so long that I didn't even try this place sooner. This place is always pack. Now I know why. Really nice choice of meats at a decent price. Service maybe a little slow when it's busy. But you won't be left starving. Wish there were more choices for dipping sauce. Np. I will bring my own next time. Definitely will be coming back. read more

Very good! We did the premium option. Yelp waitlist upon arrival, don't think they do reservations anymore. Wagyu and short ribs were the best meat we got. Banchan (potato, kimchi, radish) was good too! Service was very good, and they gave ice cream popsicles at the end. Ambiance was what you'd expect though they were playing a rave on the TVs...? Wasn't too loud though. Lots of sides to get you through to the meat. Always fun to get kbbq! read more

The customer service is great as the people there are very friendly and accommodating. However, I'm disappointed that this does not cater to the authenticity of the Korean BBQ experience. They only provide three banchans, one piece of jalapeño (literally a single slice of it), and no barley or corn tea??! (I mean... I at least expect the bare minimum bar of a Korean restaurant to offer either barley or corn tea as a refreshment ). They only offered saamjang when we asked, otherwise you only have soy sauce and vinegar as the sauces which are quite odd complements to meat. Pork belly was dry and the salad sides were to sweet with no hint of gochugaru (Korean chili flakes). The seafood pajeon was cakey and dry (quite difficult to mess up considering you can use the Korean pancake mix from Hmart). My gut feeling was that the owners of this place were not Korean so it didn't emulate the classic KBBQ experience (or Korean for that matter), so that was a letdown. My recommendation is to go to Federal way to grub on some solid KBBQ experience, go to Son of a Butcher in Eastlake, or do it at home! read more

Excellent service and amazing food! This new bbq spot located in International District is now my new favorite bbq restaurant in Seattle! They are on the main floor, sharing the building with Happy Lamb and they even have a free parking garage (although very small and probably always packed) I came with a friend on a Tuesday evening and the place was pretty packed, which is always a good sign. This is more Chinese restaurant influence than kbbq, but they that only enhances the experience and flavors. Their menu is fairly simple, with only 2 all you can eat (AYCE) options. Basic is around $30/person and you get your typical kbbq meats, except they don't have brisket but they do have beef belly which is WAYYY better! The premium is close to $50/person which gets you the basic menu PLUS American Wagyu, pork jowl, beef tongue, Tiger shrimp and other premium meats. You also get access to their cold/hot bar which has fruit, kimchi and tofu soup, rice (purple and white), as well as some hot food items like chicken wings and gyoza! They also give you an ice cream bar at the end of your meal, which was my favorite part! Although the premium option is a bit more expensive than other AYCE restaurants, you definitely get your money's worth with the quality and cuts of meat. I highly recommend and will most certainly be back soon! read more

Came here for my daughter bday to try out the new place. The place was busy with lots of birthday celebrations as they blasted the birthday song on the TV throughout the night. Staff & service was great. Food I would say 3.5. We got the regular option so meat was ok not the same quality if you're looking for authentic kbbq. Sauce bar was decent with a few cooked food items like noodle, fried rice and chicken wings and lettuce & cucumber salad. Good to try but if you're looking for good kbbq then I would drive down to federal way. read more

Bellwether BBQ&Grill - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Went here during their soft opening and their official opening. Service is good, friend staff for sure. I do think they're still working out the service kinks though. Meats are pretty good quality, portions they give you per serving is smaller (one piece per head/1 steak per table). You could ask for more of one and really I'd rather keep asking than being over served. The hot bar is a hit and miss. Cold food cold, but hot food doesn't seem to be up to temp... warm... ish. The rice cooker is what I have at home and they just refill it. I wish they had a few more sauces available, and limited choices on the sides. But I'm ok with that since I would come here solely for the meats! I would definitely go back! read more

I was a fan :) It's kind of a mix of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean BBQ which I'm not complaining about. The grill itself was grated so you could get some nice flavor and char on the meats. We got the CHOICE and it was during soft opening so the price wasn't too steep. My favorite was definitely the brisket and thinly sliced pork belly. The beef belly was good too but a little too fatty. Probably one of my new favorite Asian BBQ places in Seattle now (aside from Ishoni) especially for AYCE. My only complaints were the long long delayed wait to get seated and the very loud and fast rave music they were playing. You can tell they're just getting into the groove of things as sometimes they would bring us the wrong cut of meat and they also ran out of ice cream pretty early on, but overall it was tasty and I would come back. read more

Bellwether BBQ&Grill - beef brisket ig: @meingoeats - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The best kbbq place in Seattle. This is now going to be our go to kbbq spot. The service here is super fast and efficient. You don't have to worry about paying extra for rice, corn cheese, or veggies because there's a buffet bar. The meat selection is amazing especially if you chose the AYCE premium you get to try more selections of meat. It was super easy to get seating as you just sign in on a tablet and wait. It didn't take too long and the ambiance is chill since they're playing edm in the background and the interior decor is pretty nice. At the end you get your pick of 3 different flavors of ice cream and we all chose strawberry. :) read more

I have been coming to this place for quite some time now, since September of this year! Here are the things I would highlight from Bellwether: Ambience: I would give this place more of a 4/5 when it comes to ambience. They do play loud music that is a bit harder to hear other people at your table. However, if you come on your birthday, they do come and sing you a song and it is pretty cute! The place is very spacious and fairly clean. The bar is fairly clean as well, and they are usually refilled quite often with fresh ingredients and sides. You can order drinks or you can get a sodas cup with free refills. The only downside would be the grills. They are a bit small for larger parties and more ideal for parties of four for one grill. The servers have to coat the open grills with an oil to make sure the meat doe not stick, but they have to do that frequently since this happens often. Sometimes they have the grills that are used at traditional KBBQs. Additionally. you can also request seating that is a bit closer to the side bar since some of the booths require you to maneuver around the restaurant and booths to get to the side bar Food: 5/5, this place offers AYCE Korean-inspired BBQ that is equally as great in my opinion! (ran by the same owners as Happy Lamb Hotpot located upstairs, which are Chinese owners!). The meat selection is wonderful and it split into a premium menu that includes American wagyu and a regular menu that has really great options as well. The angus beef and beef belly are the ones that you must get if you are here! In addition to the meat menu, you will find chicken and seafood as well. There is a side bar that you can get veggies such as onion, carrots and lettuce, as well as chicken wings, noodles and soups! They rotate their soups and sides though, so it would not be the same all the time. If you like to eat your BBQ with sesame oil, you do need to request that with the server! Service: 5/5, the servers are very attentive and they are quick with orders! I never had an issue with calling for someone. Overall I have been impressed with this place and have been coming back here a lot with family and friends. They have deals going on throughout December and also some Groupon deals, so take a look! read more

This new AYCE K-BBQ spot in Chinatown is currently in soft opening with a 20% off discount until 07/20. The restaurant occupies the space beneath Happy Lamb Hot Pot that is spacious with ample tables. Reservations are accepted and dining has a two-hour limit. The BBQ menu has two options: Premium ($45.98) and Choice ($35.98). If opting in to Premium, all Choice items are included. Premium has eight items and the Choice twelve. Four can be ordered at a time. We went with Premium and tried a variety from both sections. Quality of the meat was good and well-portioned. The Crispy Baked Lamb Shank under Premium was my favorite. Premium also lists Kimchi Comrak that is a lunch box of rice, kimchi, Korean fish cake, and vegetables that is shaken up in front of you and served. By default, the table is set with four banchans and salad. Both AYCE comes with unlimited access to the soda and food bar. The food bar had a wide selection of accompaniments (raw vegetables to grill or use to wrap the meat), appetizers (spring rolls, crab rangoon, tater tots, chicken wings, corn on the cob, and tteokbokki), side dishes (fried rice and stir fry noodles), and dessert (chocolate cake, coconut cake, and fresh fruit). À la carte dishes are Seafood Pancake ($9.99), Grilled Sea Bass ($9.99), and Crispy Baked Lamb Shank ($10.99). The business is not yet actively advertising themselves as they are still adjusting the dishes and gathering feedback from customers. I uploaded the menu that is subject to change by the time of their grand opening. Service was friendly and exceptionally attentive, frequently stopping by to adjust the heat, assist with grilling, and taking additional orders. The front counter had complimentary drinks (plum juice and lemon tea) and snacks (Asian snack packs of barbeque-flavored chips). There is dedicated restaurant parking in the garage below but has little spots and is tight to maneuver. read more

Bellwether I think is our favorite KBBQ spot in Seattle right now. It's AYCE, and they have a ton of options, and it's not too expensive! It's your typical kbbq spot with TVs playing kpop which is always a good time. There's a whole buffet-style type section with veggies you can grill, fries, rice, mapo tofu, dessert, and more. The service is pretty fast, and the meat quality is great! We particularly love the kalbi, and the garlic steak is great as well. Def recommend coming here with a bunch of friends who are ready to feast. read more

Overall great value and authentic KBBQ feel. They are open late, play loud Kpop, and off lots of drinks to complement the meat party you'll be having. The wait staff was hustling and provided excellent service even though they were packed late on a Friday night. Highly recommend the marinated short rib and the beef tongue as those were our favorites, paired with a big glass of Asahi + soju. Don't forget to hit up the buffet. You'll find rice, veggies, desserts and some other late night treats (crinkle fries). read more

Did a reservation thru yelp and it didn't seem like they are familiar with the system or don't even bother using it. We couldn't get our tablet to work initially and there only seemed to be two people working when we got there. So it took a long time to get someone to help us. Even when the tablet did work, we would order and nothing would be brought to the table. Forcing us to reorder. I know it's a fairly new place but just seemed very disorganized. read more

I'm not usually an atmosphere girly as long as the food is good but the environment here really dulled my experience. First, the staff was very inattentive; it was difficult getting a hold of them to order more meat or ask questions about the menu. They were also blasting a European DJ set through the speakers and on all the TVs. Parts of the set included flashing lights that really should've included a seizure warning. The food itself was just okay. I was a bit baffled by their banchan which included the standard mashed potato salad but it was smothered in mustard for some reason. The other dishes were just ok, like usually fish cakes are my favorite but they tasted rubbery. They also had an additional sides bar where you can grab your own rice, corn cheese, and other veggies for grilling. The meat selection was good but the quality was mid, especially compared to other kbbq spots in the area. Mostly paid street parking in this area. You should be able to find a spot within a couple blocks. There are some parking lots but you have to pay a lot more for them so I don't think it's worth it. read more

The food was great, the price you pay depending on which option you chose are excellent. The service was quick, and they delivered the orders in time and they were always looking at us to see if we needed anything. They also change the grill if it is too used. The ambiance was excellent and the place was clean. read more

Quality of the meat was really good! I recommend getting the premium choice of meats. The cuts were fresh and beautifully marbled. I love that they have a self serve bar with fresh vegetables, sauces, drinks, desserts, and corn cheese in small muffin tins that you can place directly on your grill to cook. We went during peak hours on a Friday evening so we expected there to be quite a wait time to be seated however they use the virtual wait list through Yelp so I added my name to the list about 15 minutes before we arrived and we were seated within 5 minutes. The service was very good throughout the delicious meal so I will definitely be coming back often. read more

Great spot KBBQ spot in ID and a short walk from the light rail. Kept my eye on the Yelp waitlist before getting to the restaurant, 5 min wait for 2 on Saturday night at 7 - not bad. The staff was friendly and they preemptively change your grills! $32 for AYCE is competitive. We got a variety of cuts (brisket, bulgogi, pork belly, lamb, & octopus) and we're very happy with all. The self-serve area has corn cheese, veggies, rice, soup, dessert, chicken wings, and fruit. The only downside was that the rice was medium/long grain, I prefer short grain (shouldn't didn't waste precious space on rice) and the soft serve was not creamy. The restaurant has TVs playing K-Pop music videos. They have rewards linked to Toast too! read more

Excellent place ! Service was wonderful. Meats were fresh. Our grill was changed 3x and was appreciated. The only suggestion would be to have more sauces to add. Thank you for having a parking garage. read more
