I had to pour Dave over everything hoping for some more flavor but the sauce was so sweet.

Jones bbq was closed so I googled bbq near me. I was expecting southern style Greens and mac n cheese. Nope! Greens has no season or any type of meat in it, no juice whatsoever. Mac n cheese the same, zero season, baked beans tasted like they were out the can ribs no season as well. I guess they season based on the area they are located in. I poured bbq sauce over everything hoping for some more taste but the sauce was sweet. If you are looking for southern bbq this is not your place. Not to mention the food isn't freshly cooked, it's in wrapped pans like catering style. Very disappointed.

BBQ Plate with Applewood Smoke Brisket, Ribs, Mac & Cheese, Collared Greens

I had a phenomenal experience here. Richard is exceptionally warm and welcoming and very knowledgeable about his craft, and it shows in the food. The meats were tender, juicy, and well-cooked. Compared to other BBQ I've had, the apple notes from both the applewood smoking and in the sauce provide a balanced and unique flavor profile. Mac & Cheese had great texture and flavor as well, not too dry nor too saucy. The store sits right on 34th and while it doesn't have seating inside, there are plenty of benches out at Madrona Park down the street to eat at. It's like a plate at a family BBQ gathering brought to an exceptional level: packed with warmth and flavor. I will be back again!

Hands down my favorite Chinese BBQ spot in the entire Greater Seattle area. Stepping inside feels…read morejust like being back in Asia, and when I first discovered it, I drove all the way out here nearly 10 times in a single month. They also almost always have great specials when you spend over $80! ​Must-Orders & Foodie Pro-Tip: ​* Special Lamb: The absolute star of the menu and a non-negotiable must-have. - i like to ask for additional spicy powder on the side and dip more since it is little blend for my liking ​* The Cucumber + Cold Noodle Hack: If you're a savory girl like me, order the cucumber salad to start, but save about a quarter of it (and the sauce). When you get cold noodles for dessert, dunk the leftover cucumber and tangy sauce in--it adds the perfect crunch and acidity to balance out the sweetness! ​Drink Note: They still serve beer, but it's a bit sad that they don't sell original/non-flavored soju anymore. Regardless, the incredible food and lively vibe make every trip 100% worth the drive.

Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived by eating raw meat and…read moredrinking blood. One day, lightning struck a tree, causing a massive forest fire that killed many animals. Our ancestors then discovered that cooked meat tasted much better than raw meat. This is why roast meat has always been regarded as an important part of the human diet. Today I gathered with friends and chose this barbecue restaurant. It's located north of Redmond, with a prominent sign and plenty of parking. Ambiance: The decor is creative, but it feels quite contradictory. Barbecue is inherently a very "Jianghu" (lively, rough-and-tumble) kind of thing, yet the restaurant leans toward an artistic, literary style. When I used to run my own restaurant, I followed a principle: avoid anything unrelated to the core dining experience. Seeing many books on the shelves here, I understand they're trying to bridge Jianghu and artistry -- but it clearly feels out of place. That said, the place is very clean, and the stickers/decorations are festive. Service: My high rating for this restaurant is largely based on the service. After we sat down, we were given free appetizers -- braised peanuts, which tasted great. The staff training is very professional, whether it's taking orders, making recommendations, attending to us during the meal, or checking on tables and refilling water. All excellent. Taste: Jianghu-style cuisine is characterized by boldness, satisfaction, and not sweating the small details. We ordered spicy hot pot (Malatang), spicy hot pot skewers, grilled beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, oysters, and many other items. First, the Malatang and spicy skewers tasted almost identical, so it felt like eating the same thing. The grilled skewers were just average -- neither good nor bad. The oysters were very tasty. However, the shrimp in the spicy skewers were very unfresh, which was disappointing. "By the way, the prices at 'Friendship Skewers' are anything but friendly -- I think it's quite overpriced overall."
