    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.

    AYCE LUNCH

    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.

    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.

    Having dinner with the visiting family tonight. The menu changed a bit since we went there, smaller selection. Pretty tasty, lots of sugar in the food.

    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!

    I've come here a few times. The food is great. Prices are a bit crazy but sometimes I just need some bulgogi and japchae and prices don't matter to me. The staff is a little weird but friendly and do well. The inside is very loud at times and very hot.

    This is a solid lunch stop. It was just one person working when we came in so he was multi-tasking…read morelike crazy. We put our order in at the counter and had our sandwiches about 7 minutes later. Pretty quick for all the work he had to do. I had the Santa Maria. It was a nice tri-tip with garlic butter. The variety of sauces at the table helped add a personalized flavor. The bun was soft and fresh, and this sandwich was bigger than I was expecting. I got a side of Mac and cheese, it was creamy goodness! Good service, good food!

    I've tried dozens of bbq joints around the country and this one stands out for the great flavors. I…read moreordered the two meats/two sides dinner, choosing brisket and pulled pork with potato salad and coleslaw. The meats were great, the coleslaw was fantastic, but the potato salad was uninspiring. Brisket had a great bark on it but was very moist inside with an excellent smoky flavor. The pulled pork was amazing as well but could have had a little more care getting the chunks of fat out. They had plenty of sauces available--they bring you a basket with four different flavors in extra large bottles. Apply liberally! I loved the horseradish in their coleslaw. I've never seen that done before but it's my new favorite. I'll definitely be trying to replicate that at home. My biggest disappointment was the potato salad. It seemed like it was just scooped from a Reser's tub. Maybe not, I don't know if they make it in house, but that's what it reminded me of. I'm giving four stars instead of five because despite being the only person in the restaurant, it wasn't very clean. I had to wipe down my table and there was a big chunk of brisket lying on the floor. I was also pretty unimpressed with the constant foul language coming from the kitchen staff. I realize I'm in the minority on this but I still believe in keeping the atmosphere of a public place professional and family appropriate. So, all in all, top-notch food with one star off for cleanliness and atmosphere. I would definitely pick up here again but might not eat in, depending on the situation. If you enjoy bbq, give it a try!

    I feel like most BBQ places do one or two things well, while one or two things are just okay. That…read morewas NOT my takeaway from Bottos. After reading the great reviews, I'd wanted to get over there, and I'm glad I finally did. The ribs were perfect, the pulled pork was as good as I've ever had. When the brisket is solid but the least exciting bite, you've got a great platter. The mac and cheese side is excellent. I loved the slaw, though I'd skip it next time due to more onion than I'm cool with. Sauces are okay, but would love a spicy option. Honestly, none of the meat begged for extra sauce, I just love sauce. Seating was limited and the place is pretty small, so probably hit and miss during peak hours. Loved the food. Will return.

    Absolutely incredible BBQ--must try!…read more OK, so first off, the service was amazing. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and they'll bring the food right to you. Heads up--this isn't a fancy or romantic date-night type of place, but trust me, the food more than makes up for it. We ordered the pastrami brisket, jalapeño cheese sausage, and spicy sausage--all delicious. The spicy macaroni and cheese? Oh baby. Probably the best spicy mac & cheese I've ever had. We also had the stew (delicious), and even the baked beans -- which I normally don't like -- were delicious. And of course, the ribs were tender, smoky, and delicious too. The whole place smells like real deal slow-smoked barbecue, and every bite proved it. A delightfully delicious spot from start to finish. We'll definitely be back!
