    Banchan, sides (gochujang soy beans & noodles and cheesy noodles), and sauces
    Tania Z.

    Interior is low lit while cozy. Greeted as soon as we walked in then waited a while to be sat although there weren't many patrons. Opted to try the ayce bbq. Decided on signature because we wanted some of the seafood. After the waitress set up our kiosk for the signature option she pointed out seafood was only available to parties of 4 or more. Tried some ribeye, ribs, pork belly, and intestines. Everything was good quality and went well with the provided banchan and sauces. Server forgot to bring the seasoned sesame oil which we like with our bbq), we asked and were given small amounts.. Soondubu was ok, very standard. Favorite was the dipping doenjang, gochujang soy sprouts with noodles, and potato pancake (all extras we didn't order).

    Clean, spacious, and modern KBBQ spot with a great selection of quality meats for the grill. Everything we ordered was tasty, but the real standouts for me were the beef rib soup and the cheesy corn -- both were packed with flavor and honestly worth coming back for alone. Pricing was also surprisingly affordable for KBBQ, especially considering the portion sizes and meat quality. Definitely feels like a solid value. That said, the service was pretty much nonexistent. Everything runs through a tablet system, so if you need water refills, extra banchan, or anything else, you'll have to request it yourself and still wait awhile. There was very little proactiveness or hospitality from the staff throughout the meal. Overall, come for the food and value, not for the service experience.

    Quite surprised to see Namdo having a relatively low rating here on Yelp - I had a great experience dining here. I came with a large party of 10 on a Saturday evening, in which we were split into two tables. We came during happy hour, so we opted to get the happy hour special, which consisted of 4 types of different meat IIRC (pork belly, brisket, bone in short rib, and something else?) and some sides. We also got some appetizers like fried chicken. Food was delicious, well past my expectations. You do have to grill your own meat, but everything is marinated and seasoned well. I would say the thing that puts Namdo apart from other KBBQ joints is their side dish selection. They had a great variety of stuff like yukhoe, tofu, some spicy noodle dish. Everything was super yummy and the staff was very nice in helping us refill side dishes frequently.

    Between the 4 of us and what we got I thought the prices were beyond reasonable. We got a combo, and many bottles of soju and beer as well. The side dishes were amazing, and better quality than what you usually get at KBBQ in the area. We got luckily and got seated pretty quickly on a Saturday happy hour time, and parking was super easy to find. Had a blast drinking/eating with the girlfriends.

    Side noodles with HH beef combo
    Kelly S.

    We walked into a 8pm & after HH, so we got lucky with a cheaper combo for grilling. You're first greeted with a beef soup which was great on a cold night. The meats were good quality, but we were most impressed with all the variety of side dishes that come with the combo. They are not your typical sides. While they were ok and not great, it was still different with good presentation. They are definitely trying! We kept saying, "How are they able to make money with all this food?" They are really generous with the amount of meat and dishes. Maybe because we came without any expectations and the HH surprise pricing, my friends and I all said we'd return with our families. I hope they do well!

    Finally had the opportunity to come here for dinner today! Been wanting to visit since we saw it while visiting Crystal Cafe for breakfast a few weeks ago. Plenty of parking in front across the small road. Entry through a revolving door was unusual (exit had a normal door option). We were quickly seated and ordering on the digital tablet was not difficult. We avoided the combos and ordered meats a la carte. Restaurant was clean and our booth was roomy. Ventilation was great, not smoky at all despite the bbq going on at each table. When the ban-chan came we thought they had given us the wrong order... there was so much in variety and quantity! Beef bone soup, potato pancake, namuru spaghetti, onion lettuce salad, fish cake strips, kimchi, and a gourmet-looking plate of sliced tomato with yellow pickled radish and yukke! Amazing! Service was attentive and friendly and our tea and ban-chan was refilled quickly on demand. Then the meat came and the quality was very high. Thick cuts and plenty of it. We order 3 meats for the 3 of us and we had leftovers to bring home. It was a delicious and satisfying meal indeed! This will be a new add to our regular family list :)

    Namdo Korean BBQ in Bothell has quickly become our absolute go-to spot-tonight was our third time dining here this month! The quality of the food is consistently incredible, and the all-you-can-eat menu is easily one of the best values around. Big thanks to Jae-Shin for taking such wonderful care of us tonight; she always provides top-notch, friendly service every time we stop by. We're already counting down the days until our next visit!

    Grilling pork shoulder
    Branden N.

    Our party was excited to try a new Korean BBQ in Bothell. If looks and presentation were worthy categories for a 5 star review, I think Namdo would deserve it. Unfortunately, the dining experience fell short of expectations. Heres why: We ordered the Namdo Special (Regular, $159) which comes with premium banchan (side dishes) included. The banchan exceeded expectations! Some noteworthy side dishes were the beef tartar, fried potato pancake, and pickles sampler. The meat quality was above average with again excellent presentation. The brisket, ribeye, short rib all come unseasoned, so dipping into sesame oil, salt, soybean paste, and their house sauce is a must. For a family of 4 ordering the regular special set, the total price after tip and tax is $200. For an establishment that presents itself as a unique and higher-end KBBQ restaurant, $200 does not include the staff changing the grill or cooking the meats. It is expected to cook your own meats at lower-end KBBQ or at AYCE. For this set menu, we expected more staff service to pair with the presentation of the meal. Our party left with our bellies full and content with visiting. However, at this price point we expected higher quality service, noting they are running understaffed and reminders were necessary to clear plates, items to be brought to the table, and to check in on how we were doing. I think others would agree that Namdo has areas to improve in for the level of service, execution of dining experience, especially for the volume of food offered at this price point. We do appreciate the great atittudes the staff at Namdo had. They were extremely friendly, accommodating, and flexible. I would like to see Namdo address these staffing challenges and provide full service meat preparation and grilling, tableside.

    It was such a great first experience walking into this restaurant on a whim while heading somewhere else. I'm glad we decided to change our plans. My husband and I were greeted warmly and seated promptly. We arrived right when they opened, so we were among the first to get in. The restaurant was decorated in a cultural style throughout, and the booths were charmed with Korean children's books. Our server asked whether it was our first time there, then explained how the ordering process works. We started with a delicious appetizer, pajeon (pan-fried seafood scallion pancake), crispy on the outside, warm and well-seasoned inside. We also enjoyed a few banchan (small side dishes served with rice) alongside our appetizer. Our main dishes were grilled bulgogi (grilled beef) and Jeyuk Bokkeum (spicy stir-fried pork). All of the dishes were delicious, the prices are fair, and we look forward to returning next time to use the grill.

    Just went and loved it! Everyone there was so nice! They went above and beyond I terms of service where they constantly looked after our little one and were always making sure we were ok. The food was also excellent, we got the small bbq beef combo and it was more than enough for the 3 of us. And the price was great too. Considering how high the quality of the meat was, we were shocked by how reasonable the price was. Highly recommend here.

    Food- great quality meats with unique, seemingly gourmet Korean side dishes. Presentation excellent. The Namdo Special was a fantastic value! Service- Prompt, friendly, knowledgeable. We loved the fact that we didn't smell like bbq when we left because of their special suction grills. This is definitely my new favorite spot for Korean BBQ

    This restaurant is under new ownership. The original owner, Andy, opened his new restaurant in…read moreMarysville called, The Korea House BBQ and Grill. It is our favorite restaurant when we are in the area. The new owners in Bothell is a family who are very nice too. The food is excellent, as is the service and ambiance. My favorite is the Bibim Bap in a hot stone bowl, although everything on the menu is delicious as well. I highly recommend this wonderful Korean restaurant located in Thrashers Corner next to O'Reilly's Auto Parts and The Dollar Store! Mr. and Mrs. Choi are the new owners. Such a delightful couple who go out of their way to make you feel welcome and to assure you have an excellence experience!

Here's what we ordered: Beef Short Rib Stew: The broth was excellent and flavorful. However, the beef itself could have been more tender, as if it needed to be cooked a bit longer. Seafood Pancake: This was a highlight! It was perfectly crispy on the outside while remaining soft on the inside and was packed with seafood. We really loved it. Squid Deopbap: This dish was also fantastic. It came with a great sauce and a generous amount of squid. All mixed together, it was a very rich and satisfying bowl. Overall, Korea House is one of the best Korean restaurants I've tried in the Seattle area. Their portion sizes are very generous.

    First, I'd like to start by saying, there was nothing wrong with my time or food here at K-street…read moreK-BBQ. We ordered the brisket and kings ribs. I can say the meat looked like high quality and tasted great! The only reason I'm giving it a 4/5 is because I personally wasn't a huge fan of the banchan (side dishes) that were offered. There was salad, that had like the full bottom parts of lettuce in it, there was onions in some kind of sauce, kimchi, just not a lot of things I personally like to eat. I would say their banchan definitely leans more towards Asian clientel, so if you go with someone who is a picky eater or not super familiar with asian/korean food, then just be aware of that I'd say. Overall though, I would say come here for the high quality meat! The service was good, but personally, I just won't be returning. I feel like there are other K-BBQ places that meet my taste buds more than this place.

    Easily one of our favorite K-BBQ spots on the Eastside. My husband and I liked combo options and…read morethe portions. Their menu may not have an all-you-can-eat option, however the serving portions and variety are more than enough. This KBBQ is located in the Redmond Town Center. Their dining space is spacious and perfect for large parties. Their menu features 3 types of combos. We were advised the small size comfortably serves 2 while the large is serves 4. We opted for the small mix combo which had the prime ribeye, beef brisket, king prime short ribs, la seasoned ribs, beef tail flap, pork belly, pork jowl, pork shoulder, and seasoned boneless short ribs. We also ordered a bottle of soju to share. The meats were beautifully presented. They also served an array of banchans including onion salad and lettuce. Service was amazing. Our server always checked in and offered to change our grill pan. Pricing was on par for the meat quality and amount that came with our order. We even ended up with a couple to-go boxes. Overall, I recommend this spot and will be returning to try out the other
