The spicy beef soup was amazing. Our order consisted of fried dumpling, spicy pork bulgogi, short ribs and the fry chicken. This restaurant hit the spot i was looking for. The bonus was the grandma that was super sweet and helpful i believe she is the owner read more

This used to be one of my favorite places to have lunch in Mount Vernon, but after owner changes and fiddling with prices, I just can't anymore. The lunch specials are gone. The prices have gone up $3-$4 per item in just a couple of years. I had lunch there and the hot stone is now $19.99. The bowl was half filled at best and there was almost no beef; just little bits with little to no flavor at all. I took a photo of the largest piece I could find. The miso soup tasted like someone added old socks to the broth. Overall I am just sad. I would not be surprised if the restaurant is at the end of its days, which is sad for someone who has been going since it was first opened. read more

Disclaimer- I know very little about Koream BBQ. First decision, BBQ or table service. We selected to have someone else cook our food :). Ordered an appetizer and two main dishes to share (and a couple coronas). Server was very friendly and patient. The restaurant is spacious and not noisy. The Korean sides were a great addition and server explained what each one was. Food was great, service was great and will definitely be back to try the Kirean BBQ option and cook at our table. read more

This was for late July 2026. I thought I had posted it already. Used to be our go to place, but not after tonight. The food lacked flavor and the inside felt cold and unfriendly. The banchan was decent, but no offer to refill. Granted, I could've asked. The sauces were extremely limited on the table compared to how it used to be. Sadly, it was our 26th anniversary and we've had such great meals and good times there. read more

I've had my fair share of korean food and in comparison to other locations, this would be a 2 stars at best, however, yelping korean food in this area, there really isn't much options to choose from so it really is hard to give them a bad review because the food is not all that bad. It's just, I had better. We ordered bibimbap, beef soup with noodles, and a combo of potstickers and egg roll. The banchans were good and I enjoyed the kimchee. read more

we had the same experience as Food F. review, only we left. There were only two tables taken when we arrived. The restaurant was cold so we left our jackets on. Lunch specials had been dropped a week before, so you had to order dinner entrees making lunch in the $50-$60 range. We decided it would be our Valentine dinner outing. After ordering, 45 minutes later and drinking a pot of tea we asked the waiter about our meal. He said they had just started. We asked why, as we ordered before a table that arrived after us and their food was delivered. We canceled our meal and left. read more

One of my families favorite place to eat wether it's having bbq or just having table service. The food is amazing and we crave it because it's so good. The aunties that work there make us feel like family visiting, a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. read more

It had been a while since I had Sundubu, and I'd say PCK BBQ does a solid job. It pares well with the kimchi & other sides. A little hollow in terms of heartiness for a soup. But I suppose I don't completely remember how it's supposed to be. Great service and nice and clean. read more

Pyung Chang Korean BBQ - S5. Sundubu with pork! - Korean Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

This place has a revamped menu now from the last time I went, and I absolutely love it! It's really hard to find a Korean barbecue place in the area that does shrimp as an option and that's one of my favorite parts. The server we had the other night was so sweet, she even came over to our table to let us know which sides go the best with which cuts of meat! We went on a weeknight and it was super low-key, would definitely recommend coming here read more

Do not order the Japchae. Sweet potato noodles, cooked to order, bulgogi beef (sweet) & cabbage & a miniscule amt of shredded carrots in a sweet, soupy liquid. Unbelievable When asked, the lady said it was "Thai Japchae." SMH. The picture on the menu depicted Korean Japchae. Couldn't finish it. Banchan ok. Attentive survice. Won't be back read more

Very fast and attentive service. Food was delicious and comes with lots of tasty sides

We went for dinner on Christmas Eve and very much enjoyed the all you can eat dinner for five. The service was great and very accommodating of our group. The bbq experience is very fun for a group and the food was excellent. The side dishes were all made in-house and were outstanding! Highly recommend for a fun dinner experience! read more

Well as an end of year lunch date with hubby we stopped here for lunch. Yes we saw the sign that the place was under new management and we thought if it is half as good as the previous ownership we will be able to have a good end of year lunch date. The hubby loves spicy food and I enjoy indulging his cravings every now and again. Since the menu had shrimp, tempura egg rolls etc I figured I'd make it a full on deep fried platter for me. Anyway the waitress was a cute giggly gal as sweet as could be. This is the only great thing about the restaurant. She brought us tea, but no, not any water whatsoever. We had to hunt her down for that halfway through our meal. My hubby orders and I order and we wait. There is only one other table of two. Our meals are finally on the table some 20 minutes after we arrived. My platter is pathetically over fried. Every single item was over cooked and the shrimp was a dry stick over fried and was only edible once soaked in dipping sauce. The chicken bites had been pre fried and spent the day under heat lamp to be refried upon my order. The egg rolls had old vegetables that had shared space with something pickled items making an odd taste that collided with the old egg roll wrappers that had to be dipped into some kind of water the pocked mark wrapper was so bubbled and pocked from refrying with the crab cream cheese which had the worse sour taste of rotten cheese. I ate the shrimp and hubby attempted to eat the remainder of the platter. The gyoza was some sort of pre ground pork or chicken the entire inside was slimy. Husband said his meal was ok but nothing special and the dismal amount of meat was unidentifiable visually. The spicy pickled sides were mediocre and unremarkable. The low quality rice had no taste whatsoever and only the dipping sauce solved its blandness. The loud noises of construction was simply annoying along with the odd 1970's Christmas music. The table was clean . But the plates for the sides were covered with fingerprints. The tea was ok. The water tasted of the normal sterilization solution. There is absolutely zero reason to return. It was unfortunate that we wasted $50 for a lunch on the last day of 2025. I waited a few days to write a review simply to gather my thoughts about the past experience and how in less than 2 years this place went to the best Korean BBQ place to the bottom of the very long list of places we have eaten at in the last 20 years. read more

Food was decent, but I was surprised that no lettuce was provided. Lettuce wraps are an essential part of Korean BBQ culture, and not having them took away from the authenticity. For an unlimited KBBQ experience, ssam greens should really be standard. On a positive note, the side dishes were excellent, fresh, flavorful, and one of the best parts of the meal. read more

I don't usually leave bad reviews, but this experience was terrible. The banchan at this Korean restaurant were absolutely inedible. The kimchi and soybean side dishes tasted like they had gone bad--sour in a way that didn't seem intentional--and the texture was sticky and gross. Shortly after eating, I ended up throwing up and had an upset stomach for the rest of the day. I've had and enjoyed Korean food many times before, but this was by far the worst experience I've ever had. It felt like the food wasn't fresh or properly handled. I won't be coming back. read more

Pyung Chang Korean BBQ - Banchan - Korean Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

Food: the bulgoki is solid; the pork belly is okay Service: very friendly, and a bit slow at times; our server offered us a second round of banchan, which was much appreciated Ambiance: casual, comfortable setting; the women's bathroom floor was sticky read more

This was definitely a good find! Food was good with such wonderful presentation! Ordered the lunch bbq and it came with all the korean sides that were all so good. Service was great - very friendly. A little short handed so be patient, service is not as quick as you'd like it to come. Still pretty good. The resto was clean and welcoming. One thing i loved was the grills. Smoke was sucked into the exhaust so you didn't get out of there smelling like smoke or bbq. My kinda place! read more

Arrived for a late lunch. Initially requested for regular table but then a person in my party decided they wanted BBQ table. Had to ask the waitress to change the table from regular to BBQ. She didn't look too happy about the change despite my apologies that she now had to move the water and plates/utensils to the BBQ table instead. We informed her before the table was even finished being set up and she has yet to call us to get seated. Already it felt a bit not friendly but we noticed there's only 2 waitresses for the entire restaurant so we won't lower the star rating because of insufficient staffing. Ordered BBQ set for 3 because our team doesn't eat a lot especially with folks on restricted meat diets and 1 kid who barely eats at all. It would have been nice if they were thoughtful to bring out extra bowl but we had to ask. The banchan was good, especially the kim chi and broccoli. We appreciated the willingness to refill. The flavor was on point and I recommend the kim chi. Loved it. Wish there was a bit more variety. Perhaps COVID has lowered the number of dishes available. We had to grill everything ourselves, there was no assistance in cutting up the meat and auto change out of the grill at midpoint, something we were used to seeing at other places, but again, it seemed they were a bit short on staff. Salad portion was very small for a $90 BBQ for a BBQ set that's meant for 3, especially since it's cheap lettuce. Meat was good and plenty and flavored well. It was enough to keep us full. We received white rice instead of purple rice, would have preferred that instead. Will try the purple rice next time we're back. Totally understand that rice is expensive now and there was no refill like the good old days for rice. Would come back to try the non BBQ dishes. The tofu soup was flavored well but did not have an egg included. Thus, curious to see how other dishes compare to Korean food in Federal Way/Tacoma/Seattle area. We appreciate that the bathroom size was good for families with small children and there was a baby changing station in the ladies room. read more

Finally went here tonight! The servers were so friendly and helpful! If you are not comfortable with metal chopsticks let them know at the beginning of the meal and they will grab you a fork. It was so clean and bright with great music volume. We ordered the spicy pork bulgogi and the beef bulgogi. The spicy was not our favorite. All we could taste was the spice and no pork. The beef bulgogi was amazing! It was great getting all the sides so we could try things we wouldn't normally order. The sides were pickled radish, bean sprouts, fish cakes, kimchi, cucumbers, potatoes and rice. We left sooo full! We are already planning our next trip there! read more

Having dined regularly at Korean restaurants in South Tacoma (Koreatown) and Federal Way, we honestly didn't expect much from this place in Mt Vernon. We were up there at the tulip festival and wanted some Korean food. I quickly yelped any nearby ones and this restaurant came up. First of all, the waitress was super sweet and they were very Covid safe. We ordered soondooboo, bulgogi, and yukkae-jhang. Wow. Everything was on point. The flavor, the service, the portions. I am a soondooboo snob as I eat this often and I have to say this place nailed it. The bulgogi was also authentic and so flavorful, and the yukkae-jhang had huge pieces of beef and tons of veggies in it. I highly recommend this place as a Korean myself who has eaten Korean food my whole life. read more

A KBBQ spot in downtown Mount Vernon. It is the only Korean restaurant in the city and serves tasty food. You can pick either a regular or BBQ table. The prices for the meats in the barbeque seemed slightly pricey so we opted for entrées. All five banchans were refillable. ----- Seafood Pancake: squid, shrimp, onions, and green onions ($18.99). The pancake was delicious. It was largely sized and adequately topped with seafood. Batter was pan fried well and oily but had the perfect crispiness. ----- Sundubu: spicy beef broth w/ silk tofu, vegetable, egg, and choice of pork, seafood, veggie, or combo (+$1). Served w/ 4 side dishes and steamed rice ($16.99). A hearty stew to have on a cold and cloudy day. I picked pork as my protein. It was loaded with soft tofu and the spicy level was mild to me. The egg was missing from my sundubu. ----- Reservations are accepted. Each table has a call button, but the service on a weekend lunch was frequent enough that it was not used. Guest Wi-Fi is available. Downtown has a couple of public parking lots within walking distance as street parking can be difficult to get. read more

I placed a pickup order from pyung chang and was treated poorly by the employees who thought I was a door dasher. My app said the order was ready so went in the store and saw my soup order sitting on the counter. When I said I was picking up my order, they said it wasn't ready yet, even though I saw it sitting on the counter. And they proceeded to ignore me and chat by themselves for 5 minutes and then finally started scooping up the rice... Just a note for those who are picking up order... The kimchi soup was OK but the dduk man du gook was good! read more

Do your research before coming here if you aren't sure what kind of food you might like. Staff is not helpful at all in this department. No pictures on the menu either. I had to show them pictures from yelp to figure out what it was on the menu. The food was pretty good and I might consider coming back again to try a few other things. read more

Pyung Chang Korean BBQ - Korean bbq place , location and menu - Korean Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

This is my favorite restaurant in Skagit County! The food is amazing, as well as the atmosphere and service. If you've never had Korean BBQ, you are missing out! It is so fun to sit over a grill and bbq your own meat as you chat with your date, friends, family, whomever. You can grill a bit as you go, so everything is always hot and cooked to your own liking. You'll get plenty of (bottomless!) banchan (side dishes) like kimchi, eomuk (fish cakes), japchae (sweet potato starch noodles with veggies), pickled onions, and many more! The banchan can be eaten on their own, or together with the meat and rice to add some additional crunch and bursts of flavor to your bite (this is how I eat it- gimme allll the flavors!). Not to be overlooked are their other amazing dishes, such as the bibimbap: rice served in a hot stone bowl (a must-- the rice on the bottom gets deliciously crunchy!) with meat and veggies and a fried egg on top-- mix it up and add gochujang to your personal taste. It's a dish that's beautiful in its simplicity and amazing flavors. Or try the variety of delicious, flavorful and healthy soups (my fave is the kimchi-jjigae, or kimchi stew). If you're over 21 (and not driving lol), also enjoy some Korean beer or soju with your meal! There's nothing like grilling meat and having a drink while you dine with friends. If you want a fun experience while dining out, definitely give this place a try! read more

Ordered to go so can't speak re service. Tasty and filling, even after I waited an hour to eat. Would go back.

We were here once before and thought prices were a bit high and food was average. So when I suddenly had the urge for Korean BBQ food, I thought what the heck.....we'll go for it. Restaurant closes at 8 pm. We arrived to checked-in at hostess station at 7:16pm. A young female hostess give a big bright smile and said, "sorry, we close at 8pm so we're not seating anyone anymore, today " WTH??! We drove 45 miles to get to see her smug smile? The fact is that being the ONLY Korean BBQ restaurant within the 40 miles radius, they really don't care about their reputation. They only care about clocking out by 8 pm. This place clearly lack business integrity, we won't be returning to see her smug smile ever. I hope someone will open a competing Korean BBQ to knock Pyung Chang down off its monopoly. read more

Discovered this Gem, Glad I did! One of THE BEST BI BIM BAP I have ever had, better than many of the spots down Seattle way! Great fast and kind service, all dishes had great flavor and were fast and hot! The Banchan(side dishes) were very flavorful and even asked for some to pack up with our left overs and they were more than willing and happy to do so for us. I will be back and will be bringing others!! This place is a find for sure! Make sure to check them out!! read more

I went there this week with my wife and mother. The place was clean and cute and all the food taste very fresh and delicious. I asked the server to tell me a bit more about the restaurant and she said that it's owned by one woman who does all the cooking on her own. So the food is very authentic and delicious, but in busy times you may end up waiting a bit because of the nature of her business. Server was very nice, banchan was somewhat limited. I eat Korean in Shoreline a fair amount but my wife and mother are noobs. We all walked away satisfied! read more

This is the worst Korean food we have ever eaten here, and it does not taste like real Korean food cooked by a Korean chef. The 2 ladies in the kitchen can be heard speaking Spanish. They must be the new owners now, taken over the business previously owned by Korean owners, when the food was delicious in the past. The cucumber kimchi tasted old, and soups were so bland. Bad experience and we won't be back as these are not the real authentic Korean dishes. read more
