All You Can Eat AYCE Korean BBQ. I've been looking for a new mainstay since Palace has dropped significantly in my opinion. And this spot hits the spot. I was worried about the price because of its location in downtown Bellevue, but at ~50 a person and for the quality and quantity I received it is far worth. I never had to wait very long to get sat, and the entrance is a little hard to find. It's located upstairs a separate retail area. The ambiance is only decent, but it's not crazy loud. The service is prompt, but most of the ordering is done on the iPad anyway. You can order whatever you want, including rice, lettuce, etc. You also get one wagyu per person. The pork jowls and marinated kalbi are my favorite. If you like squid I highly recommend getting that too. The banchan side dishes are copious and refillable. Our biggest qualm is that grill could be hotter. Perhaps it is a means of controlling your pacing, but we want the meat NOW! Haha They do charge extra if you don't finish your food, but that's never happened to us. read more

Woobling Korean BBQ was honestly just okay for me. I came mainly for the AYCE and chose the lowest tier, which was probably my mistake. For $40+, the meat quality wasn't bad, but the slices were super thin (looked like meat for hotpot) and cooked way too fast. I'd leave the meat on the grill for maybe 15 seconds and it would already start getting charred. That part could honestly be user error on my end, so I'd still be willing to give this place another try. I will say their banchan was really good and probably one of the highlights of the meal. Overall, I just left feeling a little disappointed, especially for the price. If you do decide to come here for AYCE, I'd probably recommend going for one of the higher tiers to get a better experience. read more

We came here on a Thursday for dinner and chose the classic AYCE option for two people. The price is good and our total came out to around $80. The inside was clean and not very busy, so we got seated pretty quickly. Staff is friendly and efficient, we didn't have to wait very long for our items to come out. The only downside was that the meat cuts were very, very thin. If the heat is too high, then the meat burns easily. If the heat is too low, we have to wait a while for our meat to cook. There was no in between. Maybe because we didn't choose the signature or premium options, our meat cuts were thin, but they weren't bad quality. I'd have to come here again and try out those options and see if my review changes! read more

I've done KBBQ as well as entrees only at Woobling and overall this is a great spot for both. Parking is pretty easy - there's a garage very close by that has 3 hours of free parking, which is lovely. The restaurant is pretty big, but if you don't have a reservation for KBBQ, you might have to wait a few minutes for a table. The All You Can Eat (AYCE) options are good for the price, and they have a wide variety of meats for the selection. Fountain drinks are also included although for some reason all of ours were flat. Our server ended up bringing us canned drinks, so problem solved there! Because the restaurant is so large, it can sometimes be hard to get the attention of the staff. It's also very loud, so it's hard to have a conversation over all of the music. That being said, I do really like the food here and I appreciate the fact that it comes out quickly and that they offer both entrees and KBBQ. I'll be back here again. read more

We finally tried the BBQ here and it was Better than expected! Their lunch pricing is definitely a deal for AYCE. It was 28.99!!! The options are limited but that didn't matter to me much. We were pretty stuffed after and definitely got our moneys worth, especially with the economy these days. Food wasn't the best, but it satisfy the cravings. Definitely will be telling my friends about this place Service was also superb. Helped us with the menu, checked in on us a few times and even gave us some ice cream at the end :) Sad that there wasn't anyone else there during lunch since it's such a deal. It was pretty quiet as we were the only one there. We didn't feel rushed or anything, it was pretty chill. Will be back and look at their other options! read more

Came here in with a small group of three and had the premium AYCE option so we could order more variety of side dishes. We ordered off of the IPad so it was convenient instead of waving down staff. Staff was quick to bring out food after order and was attentive. The meat is good, don't get me wrong, but there are some of them that don't have that meaty taste. I forget which selections of meat was chosen but I would definitely say I remember the texture of the meat rather than the flavor. In addition, the meat majority of the time was pretty lean and didn't have much marbling. The side dishes were good, I liked the kimchi the best. The non meat options were decent, but that is to be expected. In all, I definitely think that the price is a tad steep for what I experienced today. Perhaps it was just today that was off. I would come back to eat though! read more

Woobling KBBQ is a great option for Korean BBQ, especially if you're going with a group. We ordered the KBBQ combo for four, and it was more than enough food to feed everyone. The presentation was impressive, and the meat cuts were nicely marbled. I especially liked that the larger cuts were scored, which helped them cook more evenly and quickly. The combo also came with soup, rice, and side dishes, which rounded out the meal well. For the quality and quantity, it felt well-priced when split among four people. The service was also amazing. Our waitress was incredibly sweet and attentive. There's plenty of seating and it's a large restaurant with a clean vibe. I would definitely come back here! read more

Woobling Korean BBQ - Kbbq combo for four - Korean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Pretty average prices and good food, all you can eat style. Make sure to get the Wagyu beef since there's a limit per person. Best meat we had was by far the pork. Only meat that was preseasoned. Also the largest portion of meat. Low temperature grill makes for slower cooking, but less smoke and your clothes stink less after. read more

Okay, I've officially found my second Korean BBQ place that I really like. I was a little disappointed to find out they don't serve solo diners. I'm used to going by myself in San Diego when I take a "me day," and honestly, I can handle the meat . But it's not just this place--I called several highly reviewed Korean BBQ spots and they all had the same policy. When I walked in, I immediately let the young man know that I have gluten allergies. He walked us through the options clearly: either all-you-can-eat or a two-person combo. I waited for my friend, and she chose the all-you-can-eat. From that point on, he was very attentive--making sure the meats I ordered were gluten-free and explaining in detail which side dishes were safe for me and which ones to avoid. Both floor servers were on top of everything throughout the meal. My friend got a little excited and ordered more than she could eat, and I honestly felt bad knowing the leftover meat would be thrown away. The young man (I wish I remembered his name) was kind enough not to charge us extra for the wasted meat since it was our first visit. And yes--I finished mine . The meat quality was very good overall--fresh, well-cut, and flavorful once grilled. The only item I wasn't a big fan of was the Wagyu beef. It didn't quite compare to the Wagyu I've had in Japan or at other restaurants in the U.S., so that one didn't stand out for me as much. Overall, it was a really enjoyable dining experience, and price-wise it felt fair for the quality and quantity. I do wish they offered à la carte for solo diners, but regardless, I'll definitely be back. The restaurant isn't huge and isn't too small, but I can easily see it getting very busy, so reservations are probably a good idea. read more

The squid dish here is amazing!! The meats are good quality - but the grilled squid alone is worth the cost of AYCE (in my opinion!!). This was quality thicc squid, seasoned and grilled to perfection! Stunning presentation as well. We were so full but we ate 2 of them when we realized how amazing the squid was near the end. I loved their whole mushrooms that you can grill until soup forms. A few of the marinades were too sweet for me. I preferred the non-marinaded meats. Pork jowl is amazing and crunchy. Pork belly was OK and became dry if you tried to crisp it up. You can write a google review for a free soda. I will say, big L for no complementary desserts with the AYCE menu! I'm very accustomed to free ice cream with AYCE I guess. Also the grill is atrociously slow and electric! Shame. Very out of place considering all else. At least we only needed 1 grill change because of how slow and unlikely to burn it was. We were here on a Sunday evening and it was pretty empty, service was short and fast. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, and is lit by a windows and natural light during the day. read more

Worth the price if you go for the lunch pricing! However, their fan doesn't work well and you will smell really bad from all the meat cooking. Some of the nicer and more modernized kbbq areas have high quality vents to prevent that. read more

This place is solid lunch option. We had the soup. I appreciated that the soup was piping hot on a cold day. The spice level of hot is actually hot and enjoyable. The staff is prompt and made the meal pleasant. I'll come back for another soup and will have to try the BBQ. read more

We did their AYCE at lunch on a Sunday and there were literally only 2 people working. Service was super slow, which made AYCE totally not worth it. The meats were also just ok... The staff didn't really check on us and didn't even change our grill once. Our grill was black... I unfortunately wouldn't come back despite this being the only KBBQ spot in downtown Bellevue. read more

You use the tablet at the table to order. Option to do all you can eat or à la cart. Went with a group of 5 and we got the combo set with beef and pork and it was plenty enough. We did all a few appetizers that we wanted to try. Seafood pancake is different than the normal with a different crisp taste, the marinated raw shrimp was pretty good. read more

This was one of the worst Korean barbecue experiences we've had. Reviews are farmed from the free items they give customers. Straight off the service was impeccable, our waiter was kind and explained that everything is ordered through the iPad. They were attentive and came around often enough. Where this place falls short is the management and the food. Our party of three are from out of town, so this was the first Korean barbecue spot we tried on our trip. The side dishes were honestly the star of the show. Life saver actually, ended finishing all of them. The food selection was slim, the corn cheese and tofu soup were an extra charge. The LA galbi is limp, brownish-gray, and dry to the touch, more like leftover pot roast. The so-called "Wagyu" looks suspiciously like a tired New York strip, with barely any marbling. What genuinely made it all worse was the quality of the grill. It was an induction stove top that took 15 minutes to cook a piece of Galbi. We initially thought it was a fluke and asked to change grills. That's where we hit our first problem problem with management. Our waiter was kind and helped us move to a new table. But when it became evident that we could barely eat a piece of meat every 15 minutes, we asked to talk to the manager. It's not often that I feel like I need to ask for help from the manager and it wasn't because the service was bad or the food was inedible. It was purely because of the way the restaurant was set up. The manager came out and told us that the grill heat up time was normal. And that there was a new law in Washington that banned gas grills at restaurants. He said that even kbbq places in Vancouver needed to use induction. That's a straight up lie. read more

Woobling Korean BBQ - Our food after 15 minutes on the grill - Korean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

One of the best Korean barbecue places I been to around the greater Seattle area. The meat is fresh and greatly worth the price in my opinion. They also have a variety of different side dishes that comes with the set menu. Which I think are pretty good value. I think it was around $95(?) for the 2 people set and we were stuffed and couldn't finish the last two meats. We also ordered Korean cold noodles and it was a lot of food. The service was pretty nice, they have a tablet where you can order everything and even call the waiters over for anything. The only thing that could be improved is the air circulation of this place. There is barely any air flow in this place and when you leave, the smell sticks to everything. read more

Love love love woobling! We go here all the time, specifically when we're craving meat. Pork n beef cuts are all really good. I tried their ayce once and unfortunately the cuts were cheap, super thin, and terrible quality. I feel like maybe they only do this with the ayce option because it's much cheaper. I came back after and ordered the meat set and the quality was still good! So I would say, don't get the AYCE get their meat set, I promise it's worth it!! read more

We went here for a late dinner hoping they'd have an authentic Korean late night diner style food, and were thoroughly disappointed. We ordered kimchi fried pork belly and pork bone soup(감자탕), and neither tasted like a Korean food, especially 감자탕. It tasted so off we couldn't even eat half of it. We might have had a different experience if we ordered kbbq, but I don't think I'll come back here... read more

I would give this a 2.5. The food was not very good quality for the price we paid. Every cut was pretty lean and tough, and we kinda expected better because we ordered à la carte instead of all you can eat. The service was okay, some people were super attentive, but at one point our grill was smoking and crackling and we couldn't get a grill change. Ambience was okay, although it took kinda long to find the place. Overall, a little below average experience and really wished they would either lower the price for the combo or make the quality of the meat higher because it felt like we got scammed haha. read more

I haven't been here in awhile, but during this visit, I realized they added an all you can eat option. Granted they have this option, but the offerings are not the same as the Ala carte menu. Its deficient good if you are looking to get as much food to eat for a set price. I think i still prefer their standard combo set. read more

Tried the BBQ a la carte squid and it was not bad. The a la carte is a minimum of two orders. Also I appreciated our server because he was asking us if we wanted refills on ban chan even before we asked for them. The ban chan I feel like was not as good as before. I wish they had mashed potatoes and the pink radish slices. I was expecting the ban chan would be better at dinner but it wasn't even as good as the lunch ban chan. If you go to their website they're doing a promo. Free 4 piece chicken wing with an entree or bbq order. That was pretty neat. Ban Chan salad was not that fresh. read more

One of my favorite k-bbq place! Their meat is top quality and all tables can order through the screen, so service was quick/easy. Not a crowded location compared to Kirkland/Cap Hill, so highly recommend if you want a low-key k-bbq restaurant. The wall decors, tables, and setup reminds me so much of the restaurants in K-town NYC and Seoul. read more

I was super excited to try this place given I saw some influencers talked about it and when it first opened, it seemed like a really boujee kbbq place. The service was great, the guy is real nice but what fell short was the grill and the quality of the meat. The grill was electric which wasn't what I expected and took a bit to heat up and it couldn't make the meat as "crispy" as I like it. And the meat tasted like I could've gotten it at groceries. I did wonder if it's because I got the AYCE...not sure. read more

We got the $58 premium AYCE. This place is the worst KBBQ I ever had. The non stick electric pan can't sear the meat at all so all the meat is overcooked and rubbery. They have plastic tongs and nonstick grill all screaming cancer and tastes horrible. The soufflé egg is gross. Bossam is way too fatty Waste of money. DONT COME HERE read more

I am writing this review because I have been coming here for a few years now, and my last visit was great:) I will preface this by saying that my wife and I came in late in the evening, and we had been at the gym, and we were now tired and hungry. It was bustling when we arrived, so I figured we wouldn't be able to eat for a while, but the manager quickly accommodated us. Our food arrived quickly. The staff is like a well oiled machine here. A big shout out to Aysa!! She managed to get us pairs of scissors, refill our side dishes, and switch out our barbeque. She was so kind and cordial to us!! Lastly, the food is excellent. There's just something about good korean food. You don't leave feeling heavy at all. Just satiated. Thanks again, I look forward to my next visit:) read more

I came here for my birthday a couple of weeks ago with my partner and a few friends during the evening. We came at 8:30pm, and they close at 10pm so we tried to make it quick. The interior is modern, but the area we sat at had some cool traditional Korean artwork. It's a pretty place to have celebrations, but I do wish the music was louder in our section so that it wasn't awkwardly quiet in the restaurant We ordered the mixed meat set that came with different cuts such as brisket, pork belly, a few marinated items, and more. All the meats were good quality but nothing special compared to any other average KBBQ restaurant I've been to. We also got some decent side dishes that were refillable for free which is nice. By the time it was 10pm we tried to rush our meal so we wouldn't cause issues, but the staff kicked us out right away at exactly 10pm which was a little upsetting. I understand everyone is trying to wrap up and go home, but almost every KBBQ restaurant I've been to has given grace to quickly finish, so an extra 5-10 minutes would've been nice to finish the last meat we had. Service could've been friendlier, but I understand the situation. Just wished it was handled better. read more

We can for AYCE on a random weekday. It was interesting that their version of AYCE was AYCE meat (rice and banchan included), but the other appetizers and sides were still separate costs. I think it's the only place I've seen do this, since usually the meat is the most expensive thing and it benefits the restaurants to serve things like pancakes to fill the customers up? While my friends who I came with were super happy with the price and food, I felt like it was a little on the expensive side. The wagyu was really good. For me, the other marinated meats were a little toooooo sweet. And maybe more of a honey or maple syrup-y flavor that I wasn't used to? I'm not sure how often I'd come here, but if anyone wanted to come, I'd be happy to join them. Parking is validated but kind of weird to get to and bathrooms are outside the restaurant with a code that you can find at the front desk. read more

The service is sub par. This is a compete neglect on a sunday night. The food is average at best. As always the ambiance is your typical Korean restaurant which is the only category that met expectations. Many of our order didn't show up and things came out arbitrary. Once table water ran out we had to ask for refill many times before we got the attention requested. If one don't enjoy customer service perhaps opening a restaurant is a bad idea. read more

Simple fun KBBQ that's using great ingredients. Service is fast and friendly - that said, realize you order from a touchscreen at your table. Usually there's a mixture of groups of friends, first dates, and families. This place stays open late - I've yet to come after 9...would love to see how the vibe changes. Anyways - this is my standard for no-frills, cook yourself (personally I'm not a fan of the places where they cook for you) kbbq eastside. read more

Solid offering, obliging service, lots of tables. Can't speak much to the quality of the food, but then at those prices who's asking. Not a fan of under-the-table fans, but I'm not letting that deter me from a second visit. read more

This restaurant is a bit difficult to find. It's located above the Elements apartment complex and you can park in the parking garage. The inside of the restaurant has an industrial modern vibe and you use a tablet to place your order. The service was not very attentive. Ordered the AYCE BBQ that includes some banchan rice, and meats and seafood. Not many banchan items were provided and the kimchi was the best banchan that was provided. Appetizers and green onion salad are additional charge if you are interested in ordering these items. The marinated meats such as beef bulgogi and marinated beef short rib tasted overly sweet. The non-marinated meats and seafood tasted good. I enjoyed the USDA prime beef brisket, pork belly, and butter squid. Many other tables ordered non-BBQ items. If I come back, I would stick with the non-marinated meats and seafood and maybe order some non-BBQ dishes such as their noodle soups. read more

The food was good, especially the kimchi pancake. Did the AYCE premium, the meat was good quality. Service was quick and friendly.

The service was terrible. Thr banchan was not fresh. I only Ate kimchi. Meat was decent. Let me expand on the service. It used to be that they come with meat and explained where to start cooking from and how to eat. No sauces were given. The server just dropped off the dishes and they expect 20 percent service fee and up? It doesn't make sense to me. So as i paid the bill, I asked if the ownership has changed and I was right. So not coming back read more

Stumbled upon this place super late night after a business meeting and it didn't disappoint! It was a little tricky getting into the building from the parking garage, but other than that, 10/10 recommend! I can appreciate their meat not being pre-frozen. And even after you eat a ton you don't get that icky "meat" taste or feeling. They are AYCE, and you def get your money's worth! read more

TIP: look at the LUNCH MENU (during lunch hours) for cheaper prices of the exact same portions/ food items. all ordering and the menu is on a tablet at the table, and we originally clicked and opened up the regular menu, during lunch time, and would've been subjected to the full price if we hadn't seen the button way at the bottom for lunch menu. Lunch menu had the same items just for ~20% less and we even asked- same portion sizes. at lunch prices it's absolutely a solid deal. had good sides, free refills, really appreciated the food. they did mess up the soup ordered where the soup isn't as pictures (ex; had an egg shown in picture but was told it's not supposed to come w egg lol what.) they also originally forgot all the noodles in the soup. all good though they easily corrected this and were super nice. would recommend going based off our experience of buying regular dishes read more

K-BBQ Woobling, aka Woobling, is located in the one of the Elements buildings that always manage to confuse me. We found it from the outside along 112th then look for a path inside. It worked. There was a 30 min wait without reservations, which was fine with us. Once we sat down, the service was reasonable. The staff is very busy, seemingly running from one end to the next or pushing carts to deliver the piping hot foods. We learned to flag down a staff as they roared past us for service. The décor is modern Korean with cleanliness and fun murals. Unlike most others eating KBBQ with meats served on Insta-friendly tiered racks, we opted to not cook our own food. No regrets. The banchan was skimpy with four sad little options. They didn't even have kimchee radish. I wonder if it was a busy night, and they ran out of some options. The overall rating doesn't warrant a full 4 stars. But the staff was pretty cool. I decided to round up. The Food: Bulgogi Octopus Hot Pot, $45 - 4 Stars Menu: Serving size 2 -3. Mushroom, onion, radish, green onion, beef bulgogi, octopus I don't know what I was expecting with this dish. First, I didn't realize it was a soup. LOL! But it was genuinely flavorful and satisfying on a cold night. The octopus in the center is served raw. A swift dunk in the bubbling broth was just the right amount of cooking. It is a giant pot. I was happy with plenty of leftovers with broth to make more meals. Korean Fried Chicken Wings, $16 - 4 Stars Menu: Korean style deep fried chicken wing, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, wheat with original fried The $16 is a wee high for wings, but I'd be lying if I don't admit it was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Fine, fine, I'll pay $16. These KoFC is making me fat, and I'm liking it far too much! Korean Seafood Pancake, $22 (L), 3 Stars Menu: Korean pancake made with squid, mussel, shrimp, green onion, carrot, onion, wheat flour, egg The seafood pancake didn't taste like it has as many varieties of seafood as the menu says, not even bay shrimps to represent shrimps. The dominant visible seafood is the fake crab shreds, which isn't listed in the menu. The crispiness and chew are good, but I object to the reality vs menu description. Side note: The Seafood Pancake arrived super late, after I asked about it twice. They either forgot to place the order or they comp'd this dish without our asking. Regardless, it contributed to my decision to round up the rating. read more
