This was the first time at a Korean BBQ for the majority of our party of seven. Our server explained what our options were and what items they had already out on our table were. After making our first choices we were really impressed how quickly the meats and other items we choose were delivered to our table. I wish I had asked our servers name so I could give him a huge shout out! He was very friendly, excellent at explaining the process. He also checked back frequently to see what we needed more of. There were many choices of meat and vegetables, sauces and sides. Everything very fresh, well seasoned and marinated. I liked the garlic chicken and the brisket the most. The bulgogi beef, carne asada beef and miso chicken were also favorites for our group. The kimchi was some of the best we have had in a long time and the vegetable and kimchi pancakes were crunchy in the outside and soft on the inside, both were good but we liked the kimchi one better. The restaurant was very clean and decorated nicely. Every staff member that we interacted with was friendly and welcoming. This was a great special occasion treat for us. I highly recommend and will definitely be returning. read more

We went to Seng's for the first time. It was a very nice experience--reminded me of the Korean restaurants we enjoyed in Pusan and Seoul, Korea! Grilling your own food at the table really is something we should all do at least once. Besides, at Seng's it's all you can eat and as long as you eat most of all you cook, the staff is more than happy to provide more meat choices and ingredients. The staff were quite helpful and very efficient. The place was clean and quiet. And the exhaust system was quite powerful, you almost didn't even notice the smoke so it was a delight to eat without worrying about anything other than eating what we cooked! read more

Seng's Asian Barbecue - YUM!!! - Barbeque Near Me - Spokane, Washington

I brought my little brother here for lunch. He had never been to a Korean BBQ place before, so we went on a Sunday and let him try as much as he wanted. The Bulgogi is on point. The Spicy Beef Belly was surprisingly good, and the plain Beef Belly was surprisingly "meh". All the different types of chicken were good as well. Service was good, although we did have to flag someone down one time to get more chicken. The venting they have for the grills is VERY good. Despite all the smoke we created, that little vent sucked up every bit of it and we left the place not smelling like we'd been the BBQ. Anyways... Great place. Good food. I'll have to take my wife here next. read more

I've gotta concur with the other low rating. Service was a nightmare! From the get go, we saw it coming and should have gone across the street. We got there at 5:25 for our 5:30 reservation. We were a party of 9 even though the hostess kept insisting we were a party of 7 (other hostess confirmed it as 9 on the screen). 4 of our 9 people were there, we were told they would not seat us until the full party was there. The other 5 people came right at 5:30 then we waited. And waited. And waited. For 27 more minutes!! They told us at least three times that they were clearing our table. We felt like that Seinfeld episode watching party after party yet seated before us!! The shorter female hostess became straight rude after the third time in that 27 minutes we asked how much longer (she really should not be in a customer facing role IMO) Once we got to our table, things didn't get better. 10 minutes to take our drink orders, 10 more for them to be delivered, the few alcoholic drinks took even longer. They eventually took our orders for meat and sides limiting us to 3 only meats on the table at a time (other Korean BBQs have allowed each person at the table to order a meat). The sides "for the table" came out just as slowly and in single serving portions. We didn't get the white rice we requested until almost the end of the meal. Pile on top of that the number of things they were out of--no bulgogi beef, no miso soup, no cheese corn, no miso chicken, no bulgogi pork, no soft tofu soup. How can you even be a Korean restaurant without anything bulgogi? It was our observation that there was a significant lack of waitstaff. This is a high touch type business and they were running it with what looked like a skeleton crew. Many times we had to flag down a server either to ask for more of something or inquire about what we'd already ordered. We felt unimportant and unseen as we watched other tables get what looked like a higher level of service. There was apparent frustration in our servers over the time the "kitchen" was taking but even the things under their control (like drinks and bussing empty plates) took far too long. Fortunately, they did not enforce their 90 minute time limit that was so prominently posted on their menu! I've never seen such a thing! To their credit, our servers were not unpleasant or unkind nor were we unkind to them but we did express our frustrations to them more than once. While everything food wise (that was available) was extremely delicious, the poor, slow service, onerous rules, and disgusting bathroom condition made this a one and done experience for us. read more

been here two times but they're been so accommodating and amazing both times. the ambiance is loud but honestly that's perfect for me, i love to talk without being heard. the food is sooo soo good, it's worth better for more people but if you have two gluttons like me you can get an amazing dealZ between the two of us we had 10 servings of meat (inc premium) and lots of the yummy sides. it was steep $160 for two meals, two mixed drinks and one drink bf the total) but worth it !! we went out with 7 friends to a kbbq w the same concept and spent over 1300$ for five people! def a deal read more

Seng's Asian Barbecue - Kim Chee fried rice - Barbeque Near Me - Spokane, Washington

We had the barbecue. We had 7 different meat options at a time and whatever sides you wanted. I had a party of six including me and we got knocked out at two rounds. Meats I would personally recommend the spicy pork belly. It was chewy in a good way and had a lovely flavor. The beef bellies (spicy/non spicy) was also great. Beef and pork bulgogi has a lovely umami flavor. I had more meats but the best things were the sides. The kimchi was delectable and still crunchy. I do not believe it was house made but honestly that doesn't matter much to me. The spicy cucumbers tasted of gochugaru and were not as crunchy as I personally liked but still flavorful! The Hawaiian Mac salad was perfectly balanced and the pasta had a nice bounce and chew. The Asian veggie pancakes were to die for. They were crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It was also covered in this tangy sauce. They're were perfect. The cream corn was delicious and very cheesy. There was a nice balance of cream, corn, and cheese leading to a nice creamy flavor. I also had a order of lettuce wraps that we add rice, kimchi, spicy cucumbers, and meat. It was really good and had a lot of different textures. The service was great! We had multiple servers and they were lovely. The service was fast and efficient and the hostess was great and bubbly. The ambience was nice, the lighting was warm and there was hand painted murals of cherry blossoms. read more

Went in for lunch, first one there. At first it seemed like it was only lunch specials but the server let us know we could still do the "all you can eat". The server and i believe the GM or maybe owner helped out and were super friendly. Food was amazing, especially for this area! Prices were a bit high for a lunch special but then again, everything is expensive now a days. Deff recommend. read more

For Spokane this is a 5! Seattle or Chicago 4. Great meat options for $45 I have paid more for less when I food travel. Great for date night or fun with friends. Few improvements I would like to see: demo station for first time people with getting good grill and how to build lettus wrap bites and incorporate side dishes. Would also like to have fresh plate of herbs. I love what they have started and want this to succeed. read more

Really friendly welcoming atmosphere. Super good food and reasonably priced. We will visit often.

Wonderful waitress, truly made the experience better. The food was great! Wonderfully fresh, and staff was attentive without being invasive. Great place for romantic/date or Business meal. Great for bringing Visiting family. Allows customization for each person's tastes. Fun experience read more

Great food and great service! Lots of fun to cook at your table!! Get the pork belly and the Kalbi ribs!

Our first visit went really well. We were seated very promptly even arriving 15 minutes before our reservation. We went for a Friday evening dinner and there were definitely a lot of staff that were constantly checking in on us. We never really had to wait on food or drink drinks which seems like they are taking the feedback from customers very seriously. The owner came and chatted with us for a bit, which was great. All of the food was really tasty especially some of the premium cuts. Some of the marinated meats were a little salty, but still nothing to complain about. The value for the price is really phenomenal for my perspective. I hope this place makes it in the long run! read more

Absolutely awful experience. Extremely slow to get our order and bring our meats around. Our server felt extremely pompous and condescending and really made our experience feel terrible. Server was a guy with a mustache and Star Wars tattoo on his leg. I really would suggest asking for a new server if this guy ends up serving your table. read more

this was our second time coming here and we decided to come for valentine's day! I felt like they were very organized and on top of the busy-ness. everyone is always so nice and the owner tries to see every table and she is amazing. I recommend this place all the time! read more

Seng's is the most fun restaurant in Spokane! Obviously family owned and operated. The food is incredible, bit it is all about the fun atmosphere. There was a manageable confusion about the size of our party and they handled it great. The birthday sake bomb was a fantastic way to finish! The kimchee fried rice and brisket was our tables favorite. Thanks for a great birthday Seng's! read more

I've seen a lot of mixed comments on this place so I wanted to see for myself. Me and three of my friends regularly go out and try new places In Spokane and this place has been on the list for I minute. I want to specify that most of the negative comments on this place was about service. I couldn't disagree with those comments more. We had servers check on us regularly. Making sure we had drinks, enough food and regularly changing our grill. I also know Spokane can be brutal on "newer" food places or concepts. The food was amazing we got all the sides we asked for and we got them on time. For context we went on a Saturday at dinner time. We've done hot pot and KBBQ before at home and We all agreed we would come again and possibly make it a winter time regular read more

I anxiously waited months for this place to open. Despite just opening a few days ago and working out some kinks, our lunch experience today was phenomenal. The service was not lightning quick but KBBQ is about the experience and not how quickly you get your food. I've been to many AYCE KBBQs and you typically sacrifice quality of food/sides for the all-inclusive price and quick service. This place is different. The meats were similar to KBBQs I've been to that made you pay high prices PER plate, and that's because they are good quality. The sides were very generous portions and from what I've heard, the steamed eggs can be a pain to make so I was so excited to see it on their menu. The premium meats are worth it from the Kalbi alone. The lychee-tini and the mushroom soju old fashion were delicious. I could sit here all day and talk about how exciting it is to have this kind of restaurant in Spokane and how much fun we had having lunch here today. The other negative reviews on this page are disappointing and I encourage anyone reading this to try this place out. read more

Seng's is up there with big cities KBBQ. Good flavors and marinates. Good varieties. Fair price. Service will be better once the staffs get their rhythm down. read more

It was pretty mid over all. Never gone before, went with my friend for the first time on a Wednesday at 7pm. We were sat on time, food/drinks came out reasonably on time. However our sides and meat came before our appetizer. And we weren't given a timer on how to cook our foods or what our grill was set on. Our shrimp still had poop inside of it. Even when sent back to the kitchen they just arranged it into a heart and didn't remove the gunk. So that was disappointing being charged $10 for left over food that still had poo in it. We also didn't receive a receipt. read more

The facility is first rate. Cooking grills and ventilation excellent. Parking lot on site. The meat is good quality. The marinades are mild and do not provide enough taste. In particular, the Kalbi beef needs more flavoring. Additional Kalbi or Bulgogi meat sauce should be at the table with a basting brush for application. read more

I came to town to visit a friend and she made reservations for us to come here with some friends. We had a great time. The food was amazing and the service was very attentive and knowledgeable. read more

Im so disappointed. I was so excited to try your restaurant. Im a widow, so I eat alone a lot of times. I paid for parking and went inside and was told I could not sit at a table. I moved here to Spokane 11 months ago, and I have never been treated like this. read more

Super excited to have table top BBQ here in Spokane! Service was quick and attentive to swapping out the grill and making sure we had enough meats to satisfy. Our favorites were the bulgogi, kalbi, and baby octopus. But most of the cuts were solid, and the sides were a nice complement - sliced jalapeños were great to grill with the meat. read more

Absolutely incredible food at Seng's. For a Tuesday night at 7pm they were very busy but the service was still very good. Everything was clean and orderly even with every table being full. The beef belly and kalbi ribs were our favorites. The kimchi and spicy cucumber were also really delicious. We had such a blast and texted people about it before we even left. 10 out of 10 on everything. Hopefully they stay open for a long time. It's a refreshing change of pace for Spokane. read more

Total Chaos at Dinner! Go for Lunch, Skip Dinner Service! I had high hopes for Seng's, especially with no real KBBQ competition in Spokane. But dinner service was a mess. 1. We had a 6:45 reservation for 3 but we weren't seated until 7. 2. It took three tries to get a root beer and three tries to get a bowl of rice. 3. First round of meat took 25+ minutes, and the server repeatedly made promises (water, sides) but didn't follow through. 4. Another table sat after us and got a large meat platter within minutes. I asked why... turns out he worked there. So paying customers wait, but staff get priority? 5. The new waiter who took over our table was clearly frustrated, ignored us, and had to be shouted at by his staff friend just to acknowledge us. 6. Basic safety was ignored. Hot grill grates were handled carelessly and placed behind them without warning. 7. Servers were amateur at best. Ignoring customers and laughing with inside jokes. They all looked especially untrained, overwhelmed, and unprofessional. There was no manager keeping things professional. The boss need to be there to oversee how poorly his employees perform. 8. The meat itself was marinated well (the single thing that raises this review to 2 stars), but the grill was uneven and the staff fumbled setting it at the correct heat. It felt like a Gordon Ramsay reality show about kitchen nightmares, except without Ramsay. I half expected to hear him yelling in the back of the kitchen Bottom line: KBBQ is my favorite cuisine, and I wanted to love this place. But this was some of the worst service I've ever had. The owner clearly saw a gap in the market but cut corners on training and staff quality. Go during lunch if you must -- dinner is a disaster. read more

Nice restaurant, nice atmosphere, very pricy for the quality and could definitely use more variety in the sauce department

So amazing !! Service was so nice and accommodating!! We will definitely be back everjting was so tasty especially the spicy pork belly ! Can't waist to try everything else! We are already looking forward to returning here, it was so much fun ! read more

We stopped in for lunch this past Friday. While we did not do the table side bbq we ordered off the lunch plate menu. The service was excellent, the owners stopped by the table to chat. The food was excellent and we look forward to stopping back when the family is in town to enjoy the bbq experience. read more

First, thank you for bringing a restaurant like this to Spokane. It is something the city has truly needed. As someone who spent the majority of my life in SoCal, Korean BBQ has always been a part of my life, and it is great to finally have a place here that captures some of that experience. That said, I want to share a few honest thoughts in the spirit of helpful feedback. Some of the flavors could use a bit more depth. The bulgogi had a very strong pepper taste which I was not accustomed to but was missing the rich marinade I typically expect. On the other hand, the teriyaki beef belly was excellent and actually reminded me more of traditional bulgogi. The kimchi was spot on, and I really enjoyed the marinated spinach, which was a new and pleasant surprise. Rice paper was not available during our visit, but our server explained they are currently working on sourcing it, which I appreciated. We did not try some of the pork, lengua, or options due to personal preferences in our group, but another table nearby seemed to really enjoy it. After trying several restaurants in Spokane that have been voted among the best by the community and finding many of them lacking in seasoning or flavor, this restaurant felt like a welcome change. The potential here is strong, and with some refinement, I believe it can truly stand out. As for the service, yes, it felt a little hectic, but that is common for Korean BBQ in general. The format is fast-paced and interactive, and that naturally brings a certain energy to the experience. Our server Patty did a great job. She was friendly, responsive, and made us feel well taken care of. Speaking as a local business owner, I understand how much goes into starting something new. There is always a gap between expectations and real-world operations in the early stages. Things take time to smooth out so I would take the negative reviews in regards to operations with a grain of salt. If you are still reading, I would say absolutely give this place a try. The pricing is better than most Korean BBQ restaurants I have been to, and with just a few improvements, this could easily become a go-to spot. I am genuinely glad the owners took the chance to open here and I look forward to coming back. read more

Absolute disaster of service, leant to a fantastic offering of Chef-fueled authenticil-ish Korean food. Obviously the chef had done his research. The food was great. Our server, however turned out to be a different story. Very rude, very short with requests, forgetting items we ordered, bringing items we didnt. Come to find out it was the first day open. Nobody mentioned opening day, nobody mentioned "bear with us" etc. just a full Priced Cheque for a far from polished product. Give it an F. Failure to deliver on so many easily achievable service related aspects. read more

A lot of flies, meat is unflavored. Side portions are small. Needs more sauce options. Service is impersonal and bland at best, just going through the motions. The teriyaki is flavorless. Save the expense and go elsewhere for your dollar. read more
