Great assortment of meat options, we did the all you can eat, we added kimchi pancakes, rice papers, all the veggies, we went through 12 meats LOL. Our server Michael was amazing, tentative and kind! K-pop music playing with music videos, at the perfect sound level. the way the booths are setup, you can't hear other parties which is nice! read more

Top notch KBBQ. The meat is very high quality and the service is usually solid. I wish their lunch bowls were 1-2 dollars cheaper and I'd probably order them a lot more often. My favorites are the galbi ribs, spicy pork, beef bulgogi, and miso pork belly. The ambience is casual and fun with K-POP music videos constantly playing on all the TVs. read more

TOO MUCH FOR 2 PEOPLE!! I would not recommend going with any less than 3 people if you choose the AYCE option. They require 4 types of meat to be ordered per round, so to get your money's worth it is soooo much food to be consuming with less people. The wine pork belly is awful. It was room temperature and tasted more rancid than anything else. No salt or flavor. The tripe was insanely tough and chewy, you could get the same experience from a rotting tire in Portland. The garlic, and lemon pepper chicken were both dry and flavorless. Not a very good variety of vegetables either. The Galbi was actually flavorful and juicy and I would personally recommend that if you decide to go. The server was polite and very respectful but I might as well have been mute and them blind with how easy it was to call them back to be able to order rounds of food following the first one. They were slow to clean up empty plates as well. The grill was not hot enough to cook things in a timely manner so I would also keep that in mind. We went on a Saturday night and had to wait around 25 minutes to be seated. I don't think I would go back but you can decide for yourself. ;)) read more

The food was amazing, the service was great, the ambiance was fun but not the best for conversation. The food was high quality, good marinated meat that was sliced perfectly to cook fast. When we walked in we didn't hear what the host had to say and she just walked away. The drinks were okay. The yogurt soju cocktail wasn't my favorite and if I went back I'd probably just get straight up soju. Stan was awesome and swooped in any time we were confused with the menu or when we could be seated. He was awesome with anticipating when we were needing something! The other staff were helpful but didn't seem as enthusiastic to help or explain the food or menu. The music was loud and we were sat at a corner of the restaurant that was bright and away from any TVs. It would've been cooler to be in the middle of the restaurant but probably much louder. read more

We're big fans of the 82nd location, but we had a large party so I booked a reservation at the Vancouver location. I have to say I was taken aback by how our server talked to us. We had 10 people and wanted 8 sides of eggs but our server was adamant we didn't need them, that they were expensive and implied we would likely waste them. After bickering back and forth we settled for 6. I do not understand why she wouldn't want us to order these since they were add ons and not part of the all you can eat. Guess what? We finished them. We love K Town but will resume going to the Portland location. read more

Ordered a few items for takeout. Got galbi, japchae, spicy squid and yukejang or spicy beef soup. The food all had good flavor but the squid was overcooked and rubbery. The only banchan they give to go are kimchi and pickled daikon. Prices are quite high for their takeout items and it is more worth it to eat they ayce if you have the time. read more

Perfect Date Night Experience. Stan sat us with a smile and explained the ins and outs of the menu. Zarina provided wonderful service and answered all of my newbie questions. We came in thinking we'd do the all you can eat but decided to go with the "pick 3". The pick 3 for us was more cost effective and a perfect amount for two. It was do delicious I couldn't stop eating. We will be back. read more

I walked into the restaurant, not noticing the time and asked him for the lunch menu. He stood there and looked at me stupidly and said we're not open yet. I looked at the time and noticed that I was there five minutes early, so he lost a customer because he was too lazy to take my order and say he would submit it in five minutes that's bad business.. read more

Our waitress was amazing! We were part of a much larger group reservation. When about 50 percent of the group failed to show, her attitude didn't change. She seemed to put even more of her attention on us. We were all very impressed and (I think) tipped well. The six banchan were nice. The best was the kakkdugi!My dumpling soup with extra rice cakes was quite flavorful! read more

Visiting Portland but my friends took me to eat Korean BBQ in Vancouver. It is similar to other locations. It is always expensive to eat KBBQ AYCE. The Portion is smaller. I think they have good options in the menu. Beef ribs is must ordered but they won't give you a lot because it is expensive. The service was good. I don't remember her name, started with H. She was good and quick. The inside is big with many tables and I do smell like BBQ after but not that bad. read more

I love K-Town, but this one was a huge let down. The server who swooped in at the end was our only saving grace. The initial server forgot our drinks, forgot our one cooked food order that wasn't just raw meat, forgot our alcohol order, asked twice before straws were brought over... We also had to ask three times and finally ask the kid who brought our our meats for silverware. It just seemed very discombobulated. Nobody was working together. Nobody came by for drink refills or for our next round of meats. It was just such a huge difference between the location I frequent (Lombard). We were out here because we were doing an escape room, eating and then hitting up a rage room. Lunch was definitely the low point of the day. Hopefully it was just an off day, but I definitely won't come back to this location. read more

A really solid AYCE lunch special for $24.99 on weekdays now is great (although the LA Galbi is missing from the menu which makes me sad) but the bulgogi is my fave so we load up on that instead and the addition of the sides like popcorn chicken is great too. We wanted the radish wraps but the last two times I've come to this location they've been out :( those are my favorite. Otherwise K-town is my fave kbbq spot it's better and more modern and cleaner than other kbbq spots and the grills are larger I don't like the round grills you can't get as much meat on the grill at once! This location just got a new menu according to our server too so it's nice and updated for the new year we got a delicious sour patch kids cocktail too it was so yummy! Our server was super nice I wish I got her name she was a blonde girl she took very good care of us on a Monday lunch time, we went 12/29 and she said the menus were brand new for new years and the prices and specials are all updates and there were new years cocktails and everything, it all looked really great! I would have given 5 stars but I was disappointed with no radish wraps 2 times I went and no la galbi for lunch AYCE. But I will say otherwise this spot is deserving of lots of recommendations and praise. read more

Shout out to K Town Barbecue! We just hosted our dad's 90th birthday with 40 guests. Though "private parties" are not their thing, they were able to cordon us off into a private-ish area of the restaurant where we could also decorate with family photos and make the space feel special. The owner, manager & staff went out of their way to accommodate our plans and deliver on great food & service. Everyone was really happy with the results. To note, my elder Korean parents and their friends loved the food ... and they are picky! We had three generations celebrating my dad and could not be happier with the experience. read more

Wasn't impressed the first time. Decided to go back for a second time in case it was a one sided opinion. Hoped that things would have gotten better after a few years - nope. This time was worse. Service was fine, ambiance was expected - Food came out looking good. We cooked, laughed, had a good time. We got home, didn't think anything of it until we all ended up in the bathroom. Lost weight, feeling yucky. Maybe it was undercooked meat and it was our fault? Maybe the lights are way too dim for us to determine what looks like a good temp? Maybe the meat was in the expiry stage? We'll never know. Never again going back. read more

Would give this 3.5 stars. Great for groups as are most Korean BBQ places. Food was solid. Not the best I've ever had but far from the worst. Service was excellent - friendly and quick! They changed the grills several times for us. We got the all you can eat option. Wish we could've had some sauces and lettuce included for wraps. The banchan was ok - it had been sitting out a bit and wish there was some more variety considering the higher prices. Pork belly and spicy bulgolgi were some of my faves. read more

We were a party of 3 and waited over 30 min. with an 1/2 empty restaurant. When we were finally seated, they told us they were out of salad dressing and a few other items. It certainly would have been nice of them to disclose these things before we waited for our table. At that point, we may have opted to go somewhere else and try K-town another time. Overall, it was OK but I suspect they were also shorthanded. Not sure if we would return to this location, especially since they charged us full price and didn't deliver on all fronts. There was also no bar are to sit at and have a drink while we were waiting. read more

STOP! Make sure you order Spicy Bulgogi with EVERY order. The servers here are good, but not the best due to short staff half the time. Regardless, the food is always good. The environment is usually relaxed, but sit at the wrong table and due to air currents you might find yourself with a constant stream of smoke in your face making the experience horrible... Guess what tho? The food is still worth it. 8.2/10 read more

Always really happy to eat and grill here! Solo or as a group this a great experience. Staff is friendly and willing to walk newcomers through the experience with great recommendations. I swung by for lunch today and my server made a great recommendation for the sour patch mock-tail. My go to meat favorites are the spicy baby octopus and the soy garlic pork belly. They also play k-pop and other Korean genres in the background which makes for a great experience. My one comment: The cucumber salad was made with real pickles this time! I do prefer the more traditional spicy cucumber salad side, but I understand if it's a stock issue! read more

I've never tried Korean BBQ before this, so I wanted to give it a shot. We did the 'all you can eat' for the full experience. It was $38 plus tax. It included 4 different meats of your choosing per order and veggies that you can also pick out. They also had a small salad (that was mostly lettuce) and everyone got a small bowl of white rice. Some meats were better than others, but it was interesting to try a bunch of different things. If you really love meat, this should be your kind of place! It was about a 40 minute wait for a table on a Sunday night. Once we did sit down, I really wished the server explained how it all worked. He even asked if this was our first time at a Korean BBQ place and I did say yes. Instead he said he would give us a few minutes and left. Thankfully one of my friends that was eating with us loves Korean BBQ and was able to explain the cooking process. read more

Server Dereck T was not able to describe menu items and what ingredients were in the dishes. Allergy concern and he said that the Main Cook wasn't in to ask sorry. Food quality was so so beef had a lot of fat short ribs over cooked extremely tough. read more

Meat looks like it's been sitting out due to nobody here. Service is bad and unfriendly . Was seated with no water to start and asking for ANYTHING was a bother. Server would run away as if there were other people here to serve. Two stars for having kids item. Too much sugar in the cheese corn and egg came out flat and burnt. The drive to gen in Beaverton is worth it. read more

Choices of cook yourself or dishes prepared in the kitchen. The first time, I had a prepared lunch. Beef bulgogi, yakitori and vegetables. SO good and a huge portion of everything. They were very quick at lunch. Next visit we cooked our own meats and bought some side dishes. Chicken yakitori was very good, but we didn't particularly care for the fried chicken. One in our party had a cocktail - a dole whipped something or other and he enjoyed it immensely. Service was very good on both visits and the place is very clean. read more

Went here for dinner last night to celebrate a birthday. We all had the All You Can Eat option. Not cheap, but we didn't go away hungry! The sides were plentiful and yummy and the meat we ordered was delicious. Our server was very friendly, attentive and helpful. The casual atmosphere makes it an easy place to grab dinner. read more

Nicest people, best food and service and environment. Love love love! Go to every week or more, take out or dine in is great. Try their lunch specials, and for sure come in sometime. Portions are always enough to share if you buy one plate for take out I can feed 2-3 people. read more

After seeing this place everytime we go to the laundromat, we finally decided to give it a try. Korean food in kind of hard to come by in Vancouver, so I was excited. We walked in & were seated quickly & our server came & took our drink orders. We went with the ayce eat option ($31.99) & chose our first 4 meats. Like most ayce places there are rules, like finishing all your food & you have to order 4 everytime, etc. Those came out really quick. We finished that & went onto order another 4. Honestly it was just okay, nothing special. Some meats that were supposedly soaked in something just tasted like straight meat. Also, not sure if this place gives sauces, but we didn't get any. The pork belly & mushrooms, definitely could've used some sauce. I think we had more luck with the chicken & beef. Our favorites that day were probably the bulgogi & the coconut curry chicken, as those had the most flavor. Service was just ok. It took our server a bit long to come back after we said we needed a few more minutes to look over the menu. Also no one ever came around to refill our water. Overall just average, but if you're craving Korean food in Vancouver, this might be your only option. read more

Food was ready when I arrived. It was good but I would definitely say this is an Americanized version of Korean food. Would make a good entry point for folks to try the cuisine, however. read more

The food was fantastic! Awesome portions! Service could have been better for the price they charge per person ($35/person). The gentleman servicing was just 'lukewarm' at best, no energy, no enthusiasm and definitely no gratitude! Unfortunately, the worst part of our meal was the lack of the right ambiance! The smoke from the grill was literally killing us! The whole time we were cooking we were inundated with the smoke directly in our faces that it would sting our eyes! It was like the hood over our table wasn't working! When asking our waiter (Mr. No Personality) if he could increase the suction of the hood, his response was "no, that's how it is!" The smoke directly in our faces was terrible! I've been to many different Korean restaurants, like K-Town, around the globe and their hoods functioned a high capacity drawing the smoke from the grills straight up and out! This and the lukewarm service is why K-Town gets no more than a 2-Star rating! read more

Service- this is a place where it seems like servers should always be coming by... but that was not the case... we had to constantly call the server over... although each time our server was responsive and nice. 3 star Short ribs were the best. 5 Bulgogi 2nd best. 5 The garlic chicken was good... but took a long time to cook 5 Pork belly. Thin slice. 3 The salty sauce was sooo good!!! 5 The rice cake was yummy! 5 Radish kimchee 5 soo tasty Pineapple. Grilled is always so good 5 If you like the concept of cooking your own at the table... go here I would be prepared to be there for no less that 2 hrs to fully enjoy! read more

It was OK. The various chicken selections were just large pieces of chicken and not very tasty. The beef bulgogi was good. Side selections are not too interesting. Overall, a bit pricey for the lunch experience. Service was spotty. Also, some bizarre rules about what can be served when. read more

While the bulgogi is really good and I appreciate the lunch special pricing, this place could use improvement. The service is lackluster and inattentive. If you order chicken, it comes out in huge, full pieces which can take upwards of 35 minutes to cook on the grills which aren't very hot (everything else takes 5-10 min), but good luck trying to cut it up with the extremely dull scissors they give you. It's like trying to cut with a spoon... The hood vents at the last couple of tables we sat at didn't seem to work either, with one of our friends getting absolutely blasted by smoke the whole time. I enjoy the food here because you cook it yourself and they do marinate it well, but there are definitely things that I wish they would improve on. read more

I love the service and atmosphere here waaay better than the Beaverton location. Last night, our party of four waited less than 30min to be seated. I checked us in on the iPad and it shows where you stand on the waitlist which was very convenient. Our server was nice & friendly but towards the end of our meal we barely saw him so we had no choice but to order from another server. We were mainly helped by three guys and they were all very chill and easy going to talk to. This one server was so funny, unfortunately we didn't get his name but he's tall and has a bigger build than the others. The server was also surprised by how much the 4 of us could eat. He kept cheering on my bf to eat more and my bf couldn't decline the challenge so of course he went along with it, it was so funny. Next time we go here we wish we could have him as our server again. We had such a good time last night. Definitely would drive from Beaverton to Vancouver just to eat at this K-Town location. read more

The good- the beef I have concerns about cross contamination since my pork and beef came out raw on the same plate. We were given two tongs with 3 different meats. Also. The amount of rules the poor servers have to follow are ridiculous. They are legit concerned about their jobs if someone "sneaks" out the all you can eat food out. Like come on. It's 2024. Don't hold your servers responsible for the actions of the patrons. Shocked people still work for owners like that. read more

This was our first time here! Upon hearing it was our first time here, our server Derrick was very helpful and attentive. We ordered all you can eat and ate our first round which consisted of bulgogi, 2 different kinds of pork belly, eggplant. The AYCE includes, salad, steamed rice, steamed egg ( 1 per person) , radish, cucumber salad, kimchi and more! We ordered two pitchers of different beers (1 cider + 1 IPA). (Definitely worth the price of pitchers) but not combined with the amount of food we got. We ordered a second round, this time we got spicy bulgogi, lemon pepper chicken, short ribs and teriyaki chicken, we were not able to eat it all! The second amount of meat was the same as the first (which we did NOT expect) We felt so bad and only had a little bit of leftovers and we are so grateful we didn't get charged for the leftover food and we offered to pay for it and take it home but we're not able to. Overall we WILL be back for pitchers and BOWLS next time and will asked to be seated in Derrick's section! :) read more
