Nothing hits quite like Korean BBQ after a long, strenuous hike…read more I stopped by while visiting Seattle, and this meal was exactly what I needed. The kalbi was well-marinated, tender, and packed with flavor. It's been a long time since I've had Korean BBQ this good. I also ordered the seafood pancake, which was loaded with seafood and the perfect texture inside. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, always checking in to make sure we had everything we needed.

Took a look at the menu and noticed the Combo Special prices went up again, since the last time we came to this restaurant! The Beef Bulgogi and Tofu Soup combo showed a price of $37.99! I recall it being $28.99 - $34.99 in the past 2-3 years! Dunno why the prices keep going up, but that's something we realized while checking out the menu, which has been pretty much the same ever since the first time. Our complimentary fried fish and side dishes were dropped off at our table shortly after placing our food order. Then about 10 minutes later, we received the Bibimbap and Beef Bulgogi. Seemed like the meat dish's portion size dropped once again! It used to be a bigger sized plate, if I remember correctly... Anyway, we enjoyed our food and atmosphere while we dined in. Service was great, as usual. But the prices keep going up, so we do not drop by as often as before.

So, it's great to have a spot outside of those three cities. This wasn't my first time here, but we had a group of five meeting here to have dinner. We were seated pretty prominently once we arrived. We had a great time dining in. We were well taken care of by all the staff working. This is a wonderful establishment to eat at and it's so great to see that they are expanding to other locations now!

So....I think "marinaded" meat should be meat that has been soaked in the liquid for a longer…read moreperiod of time, at least a couple hours. Drizzling sauce on it right before serving it to me probably shouldn't count as a marinade. With all that sauce, the grill gets covered with burnt sugar even faster than a regular marinade. Of course, the waiter had no issues with changing out our grill twice. I shouldn't have ordered this combo. It's partly my fault for not being cognizant about what I'm ordering. It's also because the pork belly is really thin. Too thin for my preference. Several of their other meats look about the same. Meat like this looks like meat for hot pot, not meat for BBQ. This super thin pork belly with sauce instantly wants to turn into charcoal. Okay next topic. In my not humble opinion, Korean BBQ should be eaten with veggie wraps (쌈). Their combos are plated with a single big leaf of lettuce under the other lonely veggies, as if saying, "yes, we realize that is something to serve, but people that have never heard of "ssam" in their life aren't gonna eat it anyways." Ugh. Looking through pictures for this joint, I can see that some customers got a big thing of lettuce salad as a banchan, but for unknown reasons, we did not. Pretty interesting that Americans are so unable to grasp the concept of vegetables in any context outside of salads that they will be oblivious to the fact that Korean BBQ is eaten with lettuce wrap, but then have a crappy lettuce salad on the side. Glorious. We did end up asking for ssamjang and lettuce. So they do have most of these things. You just have to ask for it. But like, lettuce wrap isn't even listed as an option on sides. But of course they don't have kkaennip. You know what? Next time I see an American-Korean barbecue joint with perilla, it's an instant five stars. There does happen to be a little basil leaf in their special that is basically a mezcal margarita. Maybe I'll test the waters and try to order a big bowl of basil next time. LOL. The bulgogi and ribs are pretty good. Finally, I also got a tteokbokki on a whim. The flavor is not bad at all.

Enjoyed a birthday dinner at Sumi Korean Grill. The restaurant was very clean and modern looking…read more We got seated at the table with the bench for a group of 7. The bench was higher from the table, so sitting was somewhat uncomfortable if you were on the bench side. Ask for the other side of the tables if possible. I enjoyed that the grills had the fan all around the grills so that it pulls the smoke automatically. I liked how you didn't have to worry about smelling like bbq after you left the restaurant so that is a plus! Our group ordered the premium butcher feast ($155) and ordered a couple of appetizers and sides on the HH menu. All of that and it was plenty of food to feed all of us. We got the Wagyu chuck roll steak, marinated Wagyu rib finger, marinated prime zabuton and pork Jowl for the table. I really enjoyed the pork jowl. It was very soft and buttery. Overall, quality of the food was really good and would recommend.

The portions are incredibly generous--the box was packed with Yukjeon, and it was enough to last me three meals! The presentation and packaging are very clean, and the beef radish soup was absolute perfection. The Tteokbokki was also delicious and much better than H Mart's. However, almost all the dishes leaned heavily on the sweet side, even the Yukjeon itself. Because most sides are soy sauce-based, the overall meal felt a bit too sugary. I wish they would replace the sweet black beans or fish cakes with something spicy and refreshing, like a spicy cucumber salad or seasoned radish, to balance it out. This place seems perfectly tailored to the American palate (sweet & savory). In terms of variety and packaging, it's definitely one of the best Korean bento options in this area!

We loved the ban chan options a lot. It helped cut the meat and break uo the flavors. I will say the galbijim is good alresdy without the cheese.

GEN KOREAN BBQ @ SOUTHCENTER MALL…read more Parking is super easy at this location since it's in the Southcenter Mall, with plenty of free parking available. We found a spot right out front, and it's nice that you can also walk around the mall before or after your meal since there are lots of other shops and restaurants nearby. This was my first time trying JEN Korean BBQ with my family, and I was excited since I'd heard they have several locations across the U.S. We came for dinner, which is about $35 per person for the all-you-can-eat menu, while weekday lunch is around $25 per person, making it a great value if you're looking for AYCE Korean BBQ. They have a great selection of meats, plus plenty of appetizers. The corn cheese was definitely one of my favorites and is always a must-order for me. Everything came out fresh, and there were lots of options to choose from. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to bring out refills. I also really liked the ambiance the darker interior gives the restaurant a cozy, modern feel that's perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. If you enjoy Korean BBQ, this is a fun spot where you can cook your own food, try a variety of meats and sides, and eat as much as you want. It's a great place for groups, family dinners, or anyone craving all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ.

The meats are delicious, sides are absolutely a HIT!! The best bang for your buck, and it's nice to go to a kbbq place where I don't have to cry about my wallet for AYCE.

She made sure we were taken cared of. This place deserves more recognition!

Food was mediocre. The marinated beef wasn't too bad tho. There weren't much sauces. I thought the…read moresnack bar had some more sauces where you could make your own but there's only one on your table labeled dipping sauce. The pork belly comes with a sauce they bring for you. Speaking of pork belly they were too chewy we cooked it for long enough and it was still very chewy. Service was trash. The lady that was our server poured all the meat on our fryer so half of the meat was stacked on top of each other so it took longer to cooked. We're already on a 90 minute time crunch. If my step dad wasn't pestering the lady for a next round they wouldn't have checked on us and we would've been waiting for 30 minutes. While we were waiting for the second round the lady told us to turn off our heater when we're not using it, the man later came and turned it back on and told us to keep it at level 400-500. The next time we got the food she tried to put all the meat on the fryer again my step dad said "It's okay we got it, thank you" she looked at us like we didn't know what we were doing. Later on she looked at how we put everything on the fryer she looked and laughed at us TWICE.

The staff was efficient and friendly. We ordered the Katsu Ramen, Seafood Pajeon, and Galbi Soup. The Katsu Ramen came with instant noodles, which were different from Japanese ramen. I enjoyed the instant noodles as they had great flavor, but the katsu was a little hard and not crunchy. The Seafood Pajeon was excellent--it was crunchy and delicious. The Galbi Soup came with a lot of beef, but we found the galbi to be saltier than usual, and the beef might not have been as fresh. The seating was spacious. Parking was easy with street parking.
