Blazin K-BBQ - Korean Near Me - Monroe, Washington

We tried this place for the first time and it was pretty good. There were 4 adults, 2 children and 1 infant in our party. The booths are very roomy and fit us and the baby/car seat nicely! Our waitress was attentive and polite and our food came out in a timely manner. The food was all delicious and exactly what we expected. The only downside is that the tables don't seem to work with kids in high chairs. We were in a booth and the only place to put the highchair was directly in front of the knob that controls the grill burner. While we had a somewhat cooperative toddler who mostly kept her hands off the knob. It was a bit of an inconvenience . Other than that, we had a great time read more

Blazin K-BBQ - Combo D for 4-5 people - Korean Near Me - Monroe, Washington

I like this place. Prices for BBQ items are reasonable. Dining area is clean and bright. Servers are attentive. Meal is well balanced with meat and vegetables (side dishes and salad) We came after lunch rush and everything was on the table fast. If we come back Monroe again, I will remember to visit back. Thanks owner to provide well balanced meals read more

Blazin K is a welcome addition to Monroe's food scene. The Korean bbq, where you cook your food at the table was so much fun! The owner. Ones around himself and shows you how to grill your food, and all the staff was so friendly. We will definitely be back again for more delicious food. read more

So fricken delicious! OMG!! it's truly divine. The food was so yummy. I ordered fried rice and ramen, plus some Asian styled fried chicken...my mouth was watering with the flavors! So good read more

We were nearby and wanted to check this place out, the first Korean restaurant in Monroe. It's a fairly large space with grills on every table. We ordered a preset menu and were impressed by everything from the side dishes to the soon tubu to the Kalbi and spicy pork. The Kalbi was our favorite - very flavorful and well seasoned. We also ordered seafood pancake which was way too bready. Overall this place is a great option and we would definitely come back! read more

We had such a great first experience here. Thankful for the waitress who was super friendly and attentive. The food was amazing. I am glad this spot is in our stomping grounds because we no longer have to travel far for a place with great sides that tastes authentic. We went during the day and it was sunny out. The resturant was well lit and clean too. We have lived in this area over 10 yrs and there's not a lot of great places around here to eat. Happy that there's another good one added to our area. read more

Blazin K-BBQ - Combo A and fries. - Korean Near Me - Monroe, Washington

At long last Monroe finally has its incredible Korean barbecue restaurant! I had anticipated the opening of this restaurant for many months and I'm so glad it has arrived. I had the opportunity to receive exceptional service from Joseph and was impressed with the quality of the design of the place. I ordered the LA Galbi and was blown away by the freshness and quality of the meat. The side dishes or Banchan was top notch as well as the salad with dressing that comes with it. Highly recommend and look forward to experiencing the tabletop service next time. read more

Blazin K-BBQ, a brand new Korean restaurant, rivals the best Korean restaurants in the Seattle area. The husband (see pic) and wife team came out of retirement to reopen in Monroe in the center of town along the freeway (Hwy-2). The ban-chan sides that come with meals are top quality and generous portions. I ordered the Spicy-Pork Bulgogi with Kimchee Soon (soup) as my main entrée. The meal was absolutely delicious and totally authentic Korean fare! Again, portion size was huge--I had to take half of my meal home for the next day! Based on quality and affordability, this is clearly a 5-star Korean restaurant! Only 107 miles from Wenatchee WA, "Blazin K" is the "must stop" choice for western bound travelers in Washington state. read more

Monroe gets a beautiful Korean BBQ spot. Wow! This is excellent news. It's not a huge space, but it is comfortable, clean, well-designed, and beautiful. The service is okay. At times, it can be inattentive and distracted, and it can be hard to get follow-up service for extended periods of time. They also forgot to bring scissors and turned our burner too high for the initial cooking temperature. They just opened, so I think they still have some kinks to work out here. The food was good. Prices are reasonable, but there is no "all you can eat" option, meaning you can take leftovers home. The combos are the best price deals if you want maximum quantity for your money. The banchan (side dishes) for the BBQ are relatively few (as is typical at most Korean BBQ places now), but all were superb. Banchans do have "all you can eat" refills--just ask. That goes for all banchans except for the corn cheese that you cook. You can cook the meat at the table (do it) or have the kitchen cook for you and your cooked meat brought to you (where's the fun?). Outside of BBQ meat, they also have many other dishes on the menu. I uploaded photos of the seven-page menu. Looking forward to many return visits to explore more of the menu. It all looks great. read more

I lived in Korea for two years. I love Korean food, especially Korean BBQ. I saw this was in Monroe which avoids a lot of traffic and parking issues we have, so decided to give it a try. It is a small restaurant. There are not too many seats, but there are around 12 tables, and not all of them are set up for BBQ, which is fine. We ordered calamari, fried chicken, Combo C with pork belly, Yukajong, and soft tofu soup. The calamari was absolutely delicious. It was crispy and flavorful. It was served with sirarcha mayo. The fried chicken was the same. The flavor was great. It hit perfectly with the right amount of saltiness and umami. Combo C has brisket, bulgogi, steak, pork belly, and chuck steak. Everything was fresh and well-presented. As per usual, it came with banchan (side dishes). I feel a Korean restaurant can live or die by its banchan. Fish cake was a hit. My family loves a good fishcake. It can be chewy sometimes, but the bite on this was perfect. The kimchi was fresh and made in-house. It wasn't overly sweet but it was made for people who don't like things to be too spicy. It needed a bit more heat. The other banchan included seaweed salad, pickled radish, and bean sprout. All were very good. My biggest complaint was the sauces. I love the salt and pepper sesame oil. The one they served was terrible. There wasn't enough salt or pepper. The other two included some sour vinegar sauce and something like a chili oil. None of them had any flavor. This is why I can't give it a 5. We brought the soups home and haven't eaten them as of this writing. Service was great. Our glasses were always full and people were really nice. Bathrooms could have been cleaner but they were fancy with LED-lit mirrors and black sinks and toilets. We will be back read more

Blazin K-BBQ - Combo C - Korean Near Me - Monroe, Washington

Food and service were so so. Prices were a little high for the quality and amount of food.

Really enjoyed our k-bbq experience today! For an asian establishment, the ambiance stood out with its squeaky clean and tastefully done interior and lots of booth seating with polished grill tops. The servers were super kind and friendly. One offered to switch out our old grill top halfway through which was a nice touch. You get the option to cook it yourself or have the kitchen do it for you. Do not go for the latter!! There's nothing better than cooking a small amount at a time yourself so each bite is super sizzling hot! Dip it in some sauce and you're in heaven! Oh and it's fun to cook food as you go. The aroma of meat sizzling away as you talk about how your day went is truly splendid! For 2 of us , the $120 combo B with like five different kinds of meats was a lot but we ain't hating it. Our fav is the pork belly, brisket, and beef bulgogi. The marinated meats are intensely flavorful so with some rice and kimchi, it just goes so well together. My hubby really liked the corn and cheese side that came with the meal in a tin and you cook that on the grill and it comes out gooey. Like the other yelpers, the banchan has room for improvement. Instead of the bowl of bland salad, I was hoping they put out lettuce leaves so we could use that as a vehicle to hold the meat. I will ask for that next time. Overall, very pleased and looking forward to more of the same! Also, excited they have a plethora of other menu offerings like Korean fried chicken, bi-bim bap, tofu soup, seafood pancakes.. all of what you'd expect at a Korean place. I am still over the moon about a K-bbq in Monroe! And it way exceeded our expectations! read more

We ordered a combo with Kalbi and the amount of fat on this was crazy. With little bits of actual meat, I don't think we got what we paid for since Kalbi isn't cheap. The rest of the food was mediocre and the fish was really dry. read more

We were driving back from Leavenworth, drove by and decided to drop in knowing zero about this place. The banchan was soooo yummy - we got bibimbap, kimchi jiggae and grilled mackerel and everything was sooooo delicious. The mackerel was ridiculously good. The place was super clean and the service was fast and friendly. Definitely check them out - I'll be driving 25 minutes just for that mackerel at least once a month! read more

Service is always great. New restaurant so it is clean and modern. The only down side is table only has one burner so everyone eats from one pot. The lunch special is my favorite. They bring you all the side goodies! read more

Wow where do I even start with this place! I wish I could give more stars. The two younger girls working gave absolutely some of the best service we have had in a long time mind you we go out to eat often. The meat was top notch we did the beef lovers! It was plenty for two of us! The ambiance in this place was great! I can't rant enough about it here! We will be back!!! I will say it was a little pricey but I think it was worth every dollar and I'm a hard person to please according to my family read more

Ok they redeemed themselves, we tried ordering Togo again and the food was good with lots of authentic korean flavors, had decent portions, and it came with side dishes this time! Maybe my last review helped them fix some things?! Anyway it's good and I am happy we gave them another chance as we always want to support our local business owners! read more

What a delicious entertaining dinner. We ordered the table top combo #B and one of the owners assisted preparing the meal table side for us. We had great conversation, quality food, great price. We had 2 tables with 14 people in our party and we all left raving about Blazin K-BBQ read more

Fried chicken wings are delicious crispy and crunchy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside, and the honey butter sauce is amazing. Next I will dine in and try the BBQ read more

The food is great BUT The service is TERRIBLE! The girl with the short curly hair is the worst given that we who were a party of 4 just asked to be seated at the inside booths and she dismissed us by saying that it's meant for big parties and clearly there were like couples sitting in the big party booths. We then got another person to seat us in the booth and then the short curly haired girl proceeds to bring a couple right after us to be seated in the booth that she said was reserved for big parties! Ridiculous!! When we asked her for the cheque she said I will let your server know dismissively and she walked right past him without informing him! The only reason for the 3 stars is the food is really good. UNFORTUNATELY it is spoiled by their service which was left a bitter taste because of 1 horrible person. read more

Ordered my fave Korean dish dolsot bimimbap and they served it with a hard egg. When I simply asked to pay for another runny egg (which the waitress knows I did offer x 2) as it's traditionally served I got a flat no! I asked if she could please check and I waited patiently (restaurant was busy) but after about 8 mins I had to flag her down again. She said and I quote, "the answer is still no". So we asked for the manager. He although nice was extremely assuming and condescending and tried to convince me that it always comes with a hard egg. Nope - every place I've ever had it (including in Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and other parts of Asia vs Us). The runny yolk creates the umami. Google it, AI it - a traditional Korean stone rice bowl, is typically served with a runny egg yolk (either raw or sunny-side up) placed on top. The intense heat of the stone bowl--often sizzling at 400°F+--cooks the egg, rice, and ingredients instantly as you mix it at the table. The goal is to mix the runny egg with the crispy rice that forms on the bottom of the bowl, along with seasoned vegetables and protein. And typically it's delicious. But not tonight refused to take 1.5 mins to make another egg. That I ABSOLUTELY offered to pay for!! Sigh I was so disappointed and upset - ruined our valentines dinner!!!. Soooooo lame man! While some modern variations might feature a slightly firmer fried egg, this was completed cooked thro fried egg and no umami about it. While I don't doubt this chef/family prefer it that way why they refused to just make another egg is crazy! the most traditional method, allowing it to coat the ingredients effectively. Booo to this place! Couldn't eat it bc it was flavorless and cold by the time they told me no egg and only sauce on offer was too spicy for me. Edit in response to the lies below. No one was confrontational (let's put that characterization from the owner down to culture differences - I was direct and naturally disappointed that my request for a new runny egg was met with such rudeness and disdain. Since the manager didn't witness ANY interaction with the wait staff he has some nerve accusing me of being the one who was impolite. If he was telling the truth why didn't they just bring another egg then? Furthermore his rubbish about the sauce - woah dude I simply asked if you had any other sauce besides the spicy one - again the answer was no, I said how about bulgogi since that dish is also on your menu. Whatever happened to good customer service SMDH! read more

So good! I wish I had thought to get more pictures. The food was cooked perfectly and delicious. The Bibimbap bowl was so fresh and healthy. Great veggies, mushrooms and beef.

I can't wait to go back to try their ramen or bulgogi ... yum! read more

I've had Korean fried chicken up and down Seattle, Vancouver, and pretty much north Washington. This place consistently gives me amazing, crunchy chicken every single time I order. The sauce stinks deep into the bone-in chicken so it's not just coated on the outer layer. They use fresh and juicy chicken and are generous with the sauce. The service was great. Their hostess kindly checked in with me as my food was taking longer than expected. Didn't bother me none since their output is always top notch! read more

Food is really good and portions are a good size. I have eaten there twice, once doing the Korean BBQ using the gas top that's in the table. The second time just getting two different noddle dishes, fried rice and an appetizer. Owners really care about giving the Korean BBQ experience and care about the food they make. The inside is really nice also. read more

Food was pretty good, with the exception of the cheesy corn. Too much cheese and not enough corn also they hear it in a tin foil cup and had to use a torch and stirred it with tongs that had just been used to handle raw meat...in my opinion it was a little expensive. On the good end it's probably the best restaurant in Monroe. read more

We are huge Korean BBQ fans and were excited when we saw one opening up in Monroe! We were cautiously optimistic when we went in not sure what to expect, but it didn't take long to see the owner knew exactly what they were doing! Even our 9 year old and 11 year old who are harsh critics were asking when we could return again before the meal ended, which spoke volumes! So what makes Blazin K-BBQ so good for us? 1) Food Selection. We love traditional Korean BBQ with all the sides (e.g.: pickled radish, kimchi, spouts, etc.) and cooking the various proteins at our table. The shaved brisket, steak strip, spicy pork and chicken were all amazingly seasoned. We loved the fresh veggies and dipping sauces and even requested the bean paste which they kindly brought out. 2) Service. In an effort to help those who had never had K-BBQ before, the owner came around to help with the process. We have been enjoying K-BBQ for over 20 years so we knew what to expect, but he taught us a few things we hadn't experienced before, which made our meal even better - which we didn't know was possible! 3) Cost. It's no secret K-BBQ can be expensive, but we found Blazin K-BBQ to be very fairly priced - especially with the cuts of meat they were serving. What more, we were very surprised when they allowed us to take our left overs home, which many places will not allow. 4) Location. It's SO nice to have a quality restaurant near home now! In the past we have had to drive at least 30-40 minutes to Redmond, Bellevue, etc. It's nice to not have to trek so far for great K-BBQ 5) Space. Our kiddos were super blown away by the restrooms! Call them simple, but they loved how the bathroom mirror changed colors and the lighting in the restaurant. They also were surprised (as were we) to see each table had it's own dedicated emergency fire alarm! Not sure if this is a new code requirement or what, but it seemed a bit of over kill and for the owner (if this was a code requirement) really had to put out some funds to make this possible). Needless to say - we felt very safe that should there be a grease fire - response would be fast! LOL! Super excited to have a place like Blazing K-BBQ serving Monroe now! Loved the experience and really excited to return! read more

This is the best Korean BBQ me and my family have ever been to. The food is so great, we have gone 2 times in the past 3 days! The beef bulgogi is especially delicious, definitely my favorite! The staff is so friendly and work hard to give you the best time AND the best food you can get! It is so chill and very welcoming in there. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you are looking for some good meat! (The bathroom is also very cool if you go check it out!) read more

Amazing for Monroe! Large servings. Friendly staff. We ordered the Combo for 2-3 and the fried potstickers and it was plenty of food for the group. The sauces are good. Salad is good and refreshing. Prices are a bit high for Monroe, but I feel it's totally worth it. I would totally come here for a date night. I think it's a great EXPERIENCE! I will be back and I recommend you give them a try when you need a fun spot to go for lunch or dinner. read more
