    Our servers were great, the vibes in the restaurant are date night/special occasion worthy and the quality of the meat was nice. If 4.5 was an option we would give it that for a couple reasons, specifically around the quantity of meat for restaurant week. It listed (3) or (6) on the options, but we ended up getting 2 pieces of meat per option and 1 for the dessert cut totaling to 184 with auto gratuity of 20%. Overall, it was a great experience and the banchan/quality of the meats were a treat. My girlfriend also was a big fan of the Lychee Taiwan beer. Would recommend checking it out for a special occasion or during restaurant week.

    Nom!!!! Definitely on the pricier side of Korean bbq but oh it was so good. We enjoyed everything we tried out here. We each had our "finest feast" and I'd do that everytime I come here. The scallion pancake was good, the beef tartare was amazing (which I don't say often), my husband loved their egg soufflé. Cocktails were delicious that if you're not careful, you can drink them all pretty fast! We didn't even have room to try the soup at the end. Highly recommended!!

    Had a great dinner at Meet -- definitely on the more upscale side of kbbq. The vibe is trendy and fun with neon lights and hanging meats. Service was excellent -- the staff cooked all the meats for us exactly how we wanted and were very attentive. We went with the signature feast with four cuts of meat. As a banchan lover, I appreciated the variety but it felt average here. My favorites were the cheese corn, seaweed, and radish (though I wish the radish had a bit more tang). The cucumber didn't quite hit for me since I prefer a more punchy flavor. For the meats, I believe we had two beef cuts, pork belly, and bulgogi. The second cut of beef was our favorite -- super tender, soft, and you could really taste the marbling. All the cuts were high quality and well-prepared. The pork belly fried rice was decent. But I would just get the beef feast next time which doesn't include the fried rice. Even though the individual cuts felt small, with all the banchan we ended up stuffed by the end. A great spot for a nicer KBBQ night out. It's definitely pricier, but worth checking out for the quality and experience.

    Meet has great service and cooks the meat for you however it's not worth the price. Meet is dimly lit inside with the check in in the middle of the restaurant. There's also a unisex restroom space with 3 individual rooms and a communal hand washing space. Upon seating, you'll get a corn cheese to share. Meet is NOT AYCE but by item (wagyus) or by sets. I got the small beef feast which is recommended for 2 people (large is for 3-4 people). We got 4 different cuts of meat, some banchan, soybean stew, and soufflé egg as part of the set. The banchan are not typical at other Korean spots and were too vinegary for my liking. The stew was light in flavor and the egg was good. Meat was tender and again, cooked by staff. Overall, the Korean food here is americanized and not what you usually think of. Although staff cooks for you, it's pretty pricey. I'd rather enjoy the food and meat at other kbbq spots. There's also a included 20% gratuity so keep that in mind.

    Overall: great service and vibes, decent food, pricey. Great for a date night spot. The atmosphere and service here were definitely the highlight of the experience. The servers cook the meat for you, which is definitely welcomed especially when having a few glasses of soju with your dinner. We got the signature feast for the 2 of us, as well as the steak tartare. The amount of food was okay, but definitely on the pricier side. Yhe meat quality was decent, but nothing super outstanding. I would skip the yukhoe, it wasnt bad but I wouldn't get it again. The one at Daeho has a lot more flavor to it. My one real complaint was that ALL of the banchan were pickled items. And this is coming from someone who loves pickles and sour things. I was craving some fishcake, bean sprouts, spinach, potato... ANYTHING that was more umami/savory. As a kbbq and banchan lover, I was disappointment by the assortment. Honestly, the overall experience was good and I'd recommend coming here once, but I'm not sure it's worth more than that. I don't mind spending more money on a nice meal, I just don't think the value is really here.

    Beef Feast small + Zabuton a la carte

    Dropped by the other day and was shocked by how nice this place is! This was my first time experiencing KBBQ where they cook for you! Totally blown away by the service and attention to detail. They never burnt or overcooked my meat, it was perfectly medium rare every single time. The meat doesn't need any sauces either, just a touch of salt and it goes a long way. Huge shout to out our waiter, Andre & Larry. They took care of our table and were really fun to talk to! They made sure to time the cooking and brought in our banchans so we never ran out. The interior of this place is super cool, its low light ambiance with undertones of purple is kind of romantic hahah. Totally bring your partners here... for the good food ofc Overall I had a great time! I'd come again~

    Zabuton
    Mike L.

    Offers a great dining experience with a stylish interior, friendly service, and high-quality meats. We ordered the marinated bone-in short ribs, pork belly kimchi fried rice, and the zabuton. Everything was cooked well and paired nicely with their wide variety of banchan, which added a lot of flavor and balance to the meal. Overall, it's a solid spot for Korean BBQ--great food, great service, and a place we'd definitely return to.

    The meat was higher quality but it's small portions. What is this a kbbq for ants? I have been to korea so it's unfair to compare to their cheaper and better quality meats but I could go to Baekjeong in Lynnwood and feed 2 people quite heartily for around 100 bucks. I don't think the slightly better quality makes up for the 100 dollars. The service was nice and the ambiance ismore of an intimate vibe which is a suitable for a date night. I don't think it's worth coming here personally.

    Mireya S.

    When you step in the vibe is very chill. We came here for our office Christmas party. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. Not your typical Korean BBQ as they have a cook at your table cooking the meat for you. Our cook Jessie was so informative and answered all our questions. We all left happy with full belly's.

    We've been to Seattle twice and Meet KBBQ has been on my food lists both times! My bf and I got the signature feast and it was the perfect amount of food for us considering we haven't eaten all day. Everything was so good, but wasn't crazy about their spread of banchan, I only liked maybe 3. Servers cook for you and there was never a time where we felt like our meats were cooking past our preference of medium rare. They already add 20% gratuity to your tab but jokes on them, I was already going to tip 20%. Restaurant is nicely decorated and clean, good place for date night! I'll be waiting to eat this again the next time I'm back in Seattle!

    I've heard a lot about this place, and figured I would try it for their Seattle Restaurant Week menu. We made a reservation ahead of time and were promptly seated at a large table. It was a three course set menu with different types of meat, and they had the banchan already set up at the table. There were a few items, but none stood out that much. We also got the steamed egg and doenjang jjigae which I actually really liked. Onto the meat - the portions were quite small but they all did taste pretty good. I liked the pork belly and the more premium beef options a lot. They cook it all for you so you don't even have to do any work. Overall, this is definitely a more boujee kbbq experience and not the traditional one you might be used to. I think it's a good experience once but I probably wouldn't be back.

    Zabuton add-on to the pork feast
    Monica M.

    Came here late on Halloween and it was surprisingly empty, which was good for us because of the craziness outside. Ordered the pork feast but the cuts were not enjoyable, way too much fat and the pork belly just turned tough so quickly. Very glad we added on beef Zabuton because it is worth the $65 compared to rest of the meat. The marinated pork bulgogi was the next best thing even though it was a but pasty. Bar was already closed when we arrived (odd, since we made a reservation and had the last time slot) so we weren't able to try drinks except for soda, and getting even that was like pulling teeth with our server. We left feeling the $300 tab wasn't worth it. If we try here again we'll skip the pork and stick to the higher end beef choices.

    This place is so good that I went back twice within a week. Everyones knows that Korean BBQ is good but there are the type that is just average that you can't tell one restaurant from the other and there are the ones that stand out from the rest and this is of the latter. I normally prefer Suwon style kalbi because they are more tender and has a sweet undertone. Although this is not Suwon style but it's still delicious. I highly highly recommend the marinated beef short ribs and prefer it over any thing else. They do have a lot of combo choices and if it's your first time trying Korean BBQ then order a combo. But if you know Korean BBQ then I'd highly recommend the marinated kalbi because they are tender juicy and absolutely phenomenal. It's so good that I'd rate them as good as top 3 in the Bay Area. The pork belly is also good but beef is better in this case. Service is very good. It's mostly young guys cooking for you which is different from many family style Korean restaurants where ajuma cook but it's more high-class and modern I guess? I'd totally put this a must go restaurant in Seattle if you like meat. If you are vegetarian don't bother. Place itself is also nicer inside than you'd expect from the building itself. Overall one of the best restaurants in Seattle or maybe even in the US for Korean BBQ fans.

I went on a weekday evening and was able to walk in without a reservation and the host sat my party immediately. The space has an industrial vibe, minimal decorations and an open kitchen in the dining area with another kitchen hidden in the back. We started off with a gochujang margarita which had a little spice but the flavor of the gochujang got lost and I couldn't really distinguish it. The NY Tiki Time cocktail was a stunner, the flavors of the citrus, pandan and rum blended smoothly together. I had to take a photo when the drinks arrived. For the apps we ordered the yellowtail and octopus. The presentation really was remarkable and well plated. The yellowtail was in between layer of thinly cut turnip that had a lemon verbena component to it. It was shaped into a flower and placed on a plate in naengmyeon broth. The octopus was tender and in a delicious cream sauce with some roe as decoration. For the mains we got the squid fried rice with kimchi, bacon, smoked quail egg. We also ordered the branzino gui with seasonal vegetables. Both were well seasoned and tasty but I think I enjoyed our drinks and appetizers the most. The staff were slow and intentional with their service and no one seemed in a frantic hurry. The tone of the place was calm and none of our servers gave off an overly pretentious attitude (my biggest gripe with fine dining). Will most definitely come back as soon as possible and can't recommend enough.

The yellowtail dish was lemony and the thiny sliced turnip was an art itself . My friend really liked the squid ink fried rice. The rice was made very well but personally I always find squid ink rice to be bland and a bit uninteresting, so the kimchi in the fried rice added some contrast. The restaurant was pretty empty on a weekend night. Service was ok. I love the glass and high ceiling.

The Seolleongtang was exactly what I wanted. It was super comforting, rich broth, tender beef, and perfect with rice. The Kalbijjim was the highlight though. The short rib was fall‑apart tender, and the sauce was thick, sweet, and really flavorful. Portions are huge, so definitely come hungry or plan for leftovers. Banchan were solid too. It was fresh, tasty, and a nice break from the heavier dishes. Service was friendly and quick once seated, but the place gets busy, so reservations help.

Parking: Around the restaurant has ample spots, however when my party visited, all 3 cars could not find a spots as all of them were taken. When I arrived, there were already a few cars just circling to try to get a spot if any patrons were leaving. Most other reviews didn't have issues with parking as I assumed they arrived earlier? Customer service: + friendly service and decent once you were able to flag them down - you have to almost flag them down for all/any services such as refilling water, checks, to-go boxes etc Food: 1) Spicy Squid Noodle * cold noodle dish with squid, white noodles and vegetables mixed with gochujang based sauce. Not particularly spicy or not. - imo the amount of squid for a near $20 noodle should have a little more.. 2) Daeho kabijjim + mild was good for the party as it's slightly sweet and not spicy with gochujang based sauce. Short rib was nice and tender with potatoes, onions and carrots. We chose to add noodles and cheese which they torch at the table to melt it on top. 3) Combination Suyuk + great umami and saltiness to the soup, very creamy and rich. + combination of tendon, brisket, short rib and (forget the 4th) as well as mushroom and spring onion makes it rich creamy and umami. Banchan was great, kimchi and radish are very likely homemade along with the other 3 banchans. But imo, their radish is old (overly fermented) while kimchi has a nice balance of spiciness, sweetness and tartness at first but a little sweet aftertaste. Lastly, if I'm not mistaken, I did not see any sign or note in the premise or on the menu indicating mandatory 20% tips for big party (even though I'm well aware it's normal but I believe businesses should be transparent). However when we were paying the bill, the server clearly indicated they included the 20% tips to our bill so that patrons do not "double tip" unless they wish to. So bottom line is they are quite honest on that but wished they are more transparent

The Rose Ttoekbokki with cheese was very yummy, but it kinda tasted like pasta with rice cakes instead of spaghetti. I think that is the point of this dish, so if you want a more traditional spicy flavor then get the other ttoekbokki option (spicy rice cakes).

I have dined here before so the interiors isn't too different just small changes. Let's jump to the food- I ordered the galbitang and it came with 10 different banchan. Which is a nice surprise since some restaurants aren't as generous in the banchan. The galbitang was so flavorful for a "clear" soup and the meat was tender. It also included a good portion of meat. I've tried galbitang at other places, but there was an umami that many didn't have. All the banchan were flavorful too, I thought the kimchi had a good balance as sometimes it can be a bit on the saltier side. Service was great too, the sever was friendly and checked often. When I went, it was just me then a couple arrived. There was a delay with their order so she provided some mandu on the house while their order was being prepared. Once they received their order, I heard the couple tell the sever that everything was very good multiple times- their food did look good! I recommend checking this place out especially with the new ownership. Menu looks similar from previous owners, but will for sure go back and try something else!

I finally realized that wagyu comes in different tiers, ranging from 1 to 5, 5 being the most delicious and of course more expensive (which i don't think they offer here). 5 also has the most fatty and delicious wagyu that just melts in your mouth. I think this was a tier 2 or 1. That's all hehe.

    Epic! This place is so much fun! Clean and great service! It's super easy to order with the menu on…read morethe table. The food came super quick! The quality of the meat was delicious. The star of the show was the bulgogi! Must go! Make sure you make a reservation!!!
