It was a choice between this and a couple of chain restaurants for us, and my son picked Mr. T's…read moreMoonshine BBQ. We were there a bit later, just before 8 p.m. on a Monday, and easily got a table right away. I didn't want too much food - at my age I've learned my eyes and stomach are rarely on the same page - but I definitely wanted some brisket...as an amateur smoker I appreciate how much work goes into beef brisket so always try it when I see it on a menu. So I went with the Happy Hour Caesar Salad & Brisket. For $8.50 it was a great value. The fat of the brisket was rendered PERFECTLY. My wife wanted the baked potato but allegedly someone came earlier and bought TWELVE and cleaned them out. Disappointing! But the two street tacos she got off the Happy Hour menu were tasty. My teenager decided to lean in and get the brisket entree. Fries and Mac & cheese as the sides with cornbread. He added some of his brisket to the Mac & cheese and loved it. Fries were crispy (double fried? Or battered?) but didn't get finished - too much food! I had a couple of beers that were good. The tap listing was available on a screen. Service was well-above average. Very friendly. I can imagine this place getting busy during peak hours but it's small enough that they likely can keep up. I doubt we'll be back. We are from out of town and while we come to the Seattle area often I like to try new places whenever possible. But we were very happy with how tonight went. 4.5/5.0 but it won't let me do a halfstar. Give it a try. This isn't a chain restaurant! We were happy to support this one.

Staff and service were great!…read more The brisket was surprisingly bad; very dry, a bit hard, and no flavor. It would be considered bad if it was from a grocery store prepared food counter, but from an actual BBQ place and at this price, it was inexcusably bad. The pulled pork was also very dry and not good. Not sure what's going on... hopefully it's just a fluke because I like coming here. Sweet potato fries were great, moist, flavorful. Mac n cheese was a bit bland and needed flavor or something else added. Collard greens were pretty good and flavorful and moist.

The brisket is on point and their smoked mac and cheese rocks! What makes it really good though, is the sauce. It is unlike any I've ever had before, and that says a lot! Also, the employees are nice, and helpful. I was there the other day, ordering my usual items, and the man working the register pointed out that one of my items was on special and I could get it cheaper and better. A lot of places wouldn't point that out to you. So, overall, I recommend this establishment, and guarantee you won't be disappointed!

I wouldn't say the chicken was AMAZING but definitely worth a try. The -1 star is for the price. It was fairly expensive and I don't know if it was worth it. Overall, the chicken was surprisingly still crispy as we took it home (10-12 minute drive) so bonus points for that. I think the cost of extra sauce was kind of pricy too but my husband loves his sauce and so do I. It wasn't the worst experience I'd say compared to the other reviews, however expect to wait awhile! We ordered first and went inside HMart to get beer but still waited another 15-20 minutes for our chicken.

Anywho, this was absolutely delicious, or maybe it was because we were all super hungry In any case, our server was quite warm, friendly and courteous. She was very interactive, came around often asking if we needed anything and put on and cut our meat and served us. She was on point! I hope it's like this for everyone that dines there. We selected the Combo E I believe, and after tip it was around $260!!! But all 4 of us ate well!!! This for sure will be a once-in-a-while kinda treat. If you're in a mood for some good Korean BBQ I cannot recommend this place enough, give them a try! Happy Eating, -Fj

Stepping inside feels…read morejust like being back in Asia, and when I first discovered it, I drove all the way out here nearly 10 times in a single month. They also almost always have great specials when you spend over $80! ​Must-Orders & Foodie Pro-Tip: ​* Special Lamb: The absolute star of the menu and a non-negotiable must-have. - i like to ask for additional spicy powder on the side and dip more since it is little blend for my liking ​* The Cucumber + Cold Noodle Hack: If you're a savory girl like me, order the cucumber salad to start, but save about a quarter of it (and the sauce). When you get cold noodles for dessert, dunk the leftover cucumber and tangy sauce in--it adds the perfect crunch and acidity to balance out the sweetness! ​Drink Note: They still serve beer, but it's a bit sad that they don't sell original/non-flavored soju anymore. Regardless, the incredible food and lively vibe make every trip 100% worth the drive.

Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived by eating raw meat and…read moredrinking blood. 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."
