Chosun Korean BBQ

Food was amazing just as the service was. They offer a variety of items & EVERYTHING was so DELICIOUS and worth every penny. This place is definitely top picks for this entire state!!

I can’t believe a place like this exists in Seattle! I wasn’t expecting much from an all-you-can-eat spot in terms of meat quality or side dishes, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The meat quality was excellent, and everything was way better than I had anticipated. Highly recommend!

This place was awesome! Absolutely loved everything and the service was excellent! We stuffed ourselves and will definitely be returning. Staff was attentive, atmosphere was casual and comfortable. The menu was extensive - we tried the Beef Abomosum which is the cow’s 4th stomach - and Beef Large Intestine. Both were new for us! We had lots of other delicious options like beef bulgogi and galbi and the scallops. Highly recommend!!

Yummy food, great service! Lunch was the perfect time to go. You get a lot of food and they are constantly offering more! Everything was very high quality and fresh.

Anticipated some legit Korean bbq and wasn’t disappointed - dinner was PRICEY but the quality was worth it. The banchan was delicious, varied and plentiful. Would have given the FOOD a high rating but several sides listed on the menu were not available. Also felt the table quickly got crowded with all the different small plates and would have loved roomier tables OR more efficient clearing of used dishes. Will return!

Ayce kbbq in Federal Way, the food and service was very nice. Definitely worth trying, I personally believe it's worth extra $10-$20 it compared to the other ayce kbbq

Long overdue on review!! This place is just amazing. You might pay few more dollars for all you can eat but if you check out the menu and see the variety of items that are included in the menu!!! So worth it. Let me tell you about customer service! They are super nice, attentive, and never make you feel like you are bothering them. 타코마에 이호점 여세요. 항상 상냥하게 그리고 너무 맛있는 음식들. 감사합니다.

The food here was great! The sides are fun and tasty. You get to pick whatever you want to eat. The portions they bring are generous. Very authentic Korean BBQ. The fruity Soon Hari alcoholic drinks were strong and tasty. Our party of 13 left with happy tummies. Thanks for making my sons 23rd birthday special.

I didn't have amazing beef intestines at Modoo before, so I found another one. This time I was not disappointed Braised Beef Rib with Abalone (Picture 4) Korean Braised Abalone Ribs The ribs are stewed until soft and tasty, and the abalone is chewy but not hard. The overall taste is sweet and salty, slightly spicy, and very delicious Beef Intestine Casserole (Picture 1) The beef intestines are clean and have no peculiar smell The texture is chewy and tender, rich in fat but not greasy, and fat intestine lovers are ecstatic There are rich ingredients in it, and the udon noodles absorb the soup perfectly, delicious^_^ The restaurant also offers AYCE BBQ, and there are a wide variety of side dishes~

Wow! First time trying here & I will be a regular here. I've never had any restaurant pack food so well & neatly. Not only it's neatly put together, but it's very tasty. Banchan was well prepared & very flavorful. Just what I would expect from a Korean Restaurant. One thing I would have to say may lack would be that Bulgogi was a bit chewy. The flavor is really great; not too sweet, not too salty, not too blend, not over powered by anything, it's just right! Best Bulgogi flavor I've had in a while. Soft tofu soup was perfect for me. I like it a little blend to eat together with fermented kimchee, which I had asked for and they gave without an extra charge. You don't see this kind of service now days. Not only I got what I asked for, it was perfect!!! Just what I needed today. Next time, I'll be dining in. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

Looking for your next K-BBQ restaurant? Come check out this AYCE Korean BBQ restaurant in Federal Way! They have a huge selection of good quality meats and side dishes. We had multiple rounds of Beef Brisket, Beef Rib Eye and Marinated Beef Rib. They also have a huge selection of side dishes, with everything from Spicy Cold Noodle, Shrimp Tempura, Soft Tofu Stew, Spicy Rice Cake and more! All included in the price!

The side dishes were good, the meat quality was good too. But the service is where it lacks. We arrive at a decent time and it was in between busy but our server only came by the table a few times. We ended up getting full because it would take so long for the meat to come out for the bbq. Not worth the wait.

We love Korean food but this place beats all other Korean restaurants in federal way. On top of that the service is extremely friendly. Highly recommend have to and try this place.

This Korean BBQ spot is pretty amazing. Make sure you bring your appetite though! We went for the all you can eat dinner. There are a lot of proteins to choose from so pick wisely. After the first round we were already getting full, so another trip in the future is needed to try more items! Everything was tasty and the service was good

We came here for NYE dinner on 12/31/24. Arrived early at around 4:20 PM and got seated right away for a party of 6. We wanted the AYCE Korean BBQ, so we got seated at one of the meat cooking tables. After briefly looking at the menu, we ordered a couple of Beef Briskets, Pork Belly, a couple of Gyozas, Blood Sausage, Steamed Egg, Black Bean Noodles and Rice to start off with. Then we got more Beef Brisket, Marinated Beef, and Pork Belly servings. For our drinks, we got a couple of bottles of CASS beer. We also got plenty of refills on side dishes and water throughout our dine-in service. Our servers were attentive and friendly with our requests. Enjoyed our food very much! We were pretty full by the time we were done eating. A whole lot of Korean BBQ meat were consumed!!! Price-wise, it is a little on the high side for an AYCE option, but quality of meat is very good and service is great! $48.00/per person for Dinner.

Chosun is tucked away in Federal Way, WA just off the Main Street 320th. Its family style restaurant is bustling and overflowing with high energy.its the perfect place to eat with family or friends. The set up its self inspires fun and conversation. Come with an appetite! It's all you can eat and they do no serve sparingly. My favorite dishes were the wagyu beef and pork belly. You pan sear your meats at the table with help from the staff. They really keep the food coming. Side dishes like fish cake, rice noodles and kimchi go well with your entrees. I recommend this place 10/10!

I don't know. I thought this was just...okay? This was really hard to write because I get the impression that the food was fine...maybe, but just didn't fit my preferences. I'll also caveat that we didn't order actual all-you-can-eat BBQ, but only other prepared dishes. The beef tartare, for example, Eaten like this, the umami seems so weak. I can barely taste the beef. I don't know if the flavor is supposed to be this weak or if the texture is supposed to be like a dessert, but I don't understand what's so great about this. The veggie pancake. I dislike the texture of this also. That, combined with it being room temperature and the soggy veggies. I like lots of different kinds of pancakes including scallion pancakes and okonomiyaki. This reminds me less of those and more like those veggie tempura circles. I do not like this. There were the kalbi ribs, which were good, but I thought they were only good to the extent that kalbi ribs are always good. I can just buy some from the grocery store and make this. Also, I prefer the kalbi one of my co-workers made a couple weeks ago. Then, the kurobuta pork. This small plate of meat that they put like no work into is $35. Crazy. It tastes so mediocre to me. If this meat was really that expensive, they might as well buy cheaper meat because this expensive meat was wasted. Spicy noodles was fine. The portion of noodles was pretty big, but the overall umami of this was also just okay. Not the most objective review I've ever written, but welp, I'd didn't like it. I guess my standards on Asian BBQ have also gone up again.

This k-bbq place is one of the best I think in this area. The quality of the meat is fresh. They have a la carte of ayce levels. We went with ayce premium so we can order the full beef short rib. It's one per person for ayce. Considering the price per person this is a good value that has this unique slice that I don't see in a lot of bbq place in this area, and we're getting access to all the other choices sauce as beef brisket, beef belly, beef tongue, pork belly, shrimp, scallop. Not to the sides are plenty and fresh. Last thing service has been top tier coming to ask to refill sides, change the grill and check on us. The ambiance is typical of a busy restaurant 1 you go there to have fun time.

It took me so long to try this place after seeing so many advertisements on instagram. I decided to get the soybean paste stew and shared the spicy rice cakes with some friends. The soybean paste stew was nice, spicy and had quite a bit of meat to it. As for the spicy rice cakes, it was good but I had wished they put more rice cakes into it. They provided many side dishes and I will say that my favorite was the fish cakes! We probably had three different servers helping us out, and they were all so helpful when we couldn't make up our minds. They must've thought we were new to Korean cuisine, so they were attentive to any need that we had. The interior was very stereotypical and spacious. There is also specific booths for dining in for regular cuisine and tables for kbbq in the middle

Lunch AYCE was pretty good! Our fave was the beef belly, LA kalbi, & corn cheese. Kimchee fried rice & dukkpokki was not good so skip those. Tofu & army soup was ok. Service was pretty decent & fast.

Probably one of the best quality meat I've had in the area. The main focus here is the meats, the sides are pretty average. It's usually not packed so service was pretty good and the ambiance was also average. This place is a bit more pricy than some other good KBBQs in the area but it shows with the meat quality.

I came here with my cousin on a Friday night before the dinner rush. We got a table very quickly and the service was prompt on getting us banchan. The first round came out very quickly. I really enjoyed the huge selection. The servers came and put our meat on the grill for us and would periodically check and turn the meat too. The set up it like most kbbq spots with the grill at your table with a hood/vent above. The other side of the restaurant had regular tables for those not grilling meat. This kbbq of the most expensive AYCE in town but it's worth it, next time I want to come with a larger group so we can order more variety as there was only so much only two of us can eat.

All you can eat KBBQ but even better. They have unlimited sides including ramen, cold noodles, myunrang hot dog, fried rice, tofu stew, soy bean stew army stew, spicy rice cake and so much more! We loved the spicy cold noodles (the best thing we had!!) They have various choices of beef, pork, chicken and seafood to choose from as well! The price is on the higher side though.

The food was great. The service was fast and the servers were friendly. The restaurant was clean and inviting to everyone.

Kiddos graduation dinner for 18 of us. Reserved the party area which can fit up to 50 people. Didn't cost extra to do this. Expensive? At $47.99 per person for dinner all you can eat, yeah but they had a huge menu. Lots of beef, pork, chicken, seafood options and a ton of sides. I was pleasantly surprised they had some veggies on the menu . Mushroom, onion, zucchini, sweet potato, squash. Banchan was good as well. Vegetable pancake was alright. I can't speak for all the meat and seafood but my family really likes this place. I was content with my rice, salad and veggies. Waiters were fairly attentive but we had a big group. They brought our food. Took plates away and changed out the grill twice. 18% service gratuity for parties of 5 and up. Would I come here again? Most likely because there were things I can eat. The price is steep but if the kiddo asked for kbb, then I would probably oblige.

Came a couple times and would come again! Solid kbbq. Meat is good quality and their other dishes are good as well, like the spicy naengmyeon/ cold noodles

This is my go-to KBBQ spot in Washington. It used to be only a-la-carte so I am pleased they decided to do this. Not only do they have several meat selections, but they have lots of appetizers and sides you can choose from (and small portions, so you can get a variety). For example, spicy rice cakes, fried chicken, and more! I appreciate that the quality of the meat has not gone down even though they offer all-you-can-eat now. If you come during lunch it is cheaper. FYI if it is a holiday, you will still get charged the dinner price. The side dishes are not always the same, but I do enjoy them each time. I've been here many times and the staff have always been friendly and accommodating. The dining area is large so we never have an issue getting seated. They will be seeing me here again soon.

Wow! My friend had recommended me this spot and some more mutuals said this is their favorite spot. Had to give it a try and we were very impressed. The meat options were incredible. The quality ?! IMMACULATE. We're definitely returning and bringing more of our friends here. The side dishes they had that we ordered were cheese kimchi fried rice, spicy cold noodles, and cheese corn. All were great portions so you're not full and can order rounds of meat. Also the side salad, chefs kiss!!! Loved this place and the quality of each dish. To top it off service was great! Somebody was always there to help us and thank you to them it made our experience awesome! Can't wait to come back!

We tried this place out for the first time on Sunday after a lot of our Korean friends said it was very good. My wife is Korean and has a high bar, but we were all very satisfied by the quality of the food. We were a little bummed they were out of rice for the first half of our meal, but to be fair that was to their advantage as we ended up eating a ridiculous amount of meat for 2 adults & one 8 years old (we had 6 selections). Total meal for us three including my Churum Churm Soju 20% was about $195 + tip - not bad considering the going rate at Korean BBQs these days. The banchan was excellent too. We will definitely go back!

Very good K-bbq with good quality meat and nice array of banchan. Instead of ayce, we ordered Combo 2 for our family (2 adults 2 kids) which the menu says is enough for 2 people, but we had close to half the meat leftover to take home with us. Wagyu beef brisket was great, beef bulgogi and pork belly was good but the prime seasoned boneless short rib was the best part. They did mess up the order by giving us chicken teriyaki (combo 1) instead of pork bulgogi, so they cooked some pork bulgogi for us to take home with us. Overall, very good food and we had lots of leftovers to take home too.

Visited this place for the first time couple weeks ago & it was amazing! I've passed this location many times going home but never stopped to try it until now. I've ate at many kbbq spots and this is by far the best place. They have a great selection of meats to choose from & they also have soups, ramen & side dishes that are included with the kbbq. It's a little pricey from the other kbbq spots I've ate at but that's ok, I'll definitely will be going back! Service is wonderful, they are very friendly.

Delicious kalbi, really lives up to its name. $50 pp at lunch is not bad, given the appetizers you can also order like naengmyeon and ramen. Very good banchan with three kimchi variations, my fave being the daikon. Also the dessert options are so interesting, I enjoyed the sikhye. Want to go back again!

This place is FANTASTIC!! Talk about amazing customer service. We were greeted very warmly by June which he actually turned out to be our server and take great care of us. June was so amazing and very upbeat, professional and was so quick and efficient with service. He brought us our Banchan right away and refilled every single banchan quickly when we asked for more. He was so accommodating and was quick to also get our meats and switch our out grills when needed very, very attentive! My boyfriend and I eat a lot of Korean BBQ, the meat quality here for AYCE is very amazing quality for what you get, the marbling on the ribeye and short ribs, fantastic. Thank you June for our incredible experience we will be back!! So excited to tell everyone about this place. Also they have Squid Games Dalgona cookies for free at the end and if you complete the challenge within 10 min you get a discount on your food! How cool is that?! I would like to add the banchan sides tasted better than most KKBQ places. You can tell the quality and taste is homeade.

4.5/5 Stars - My partner and I were visiting from Texas and I've got to say this is hands down one of the best KBBQ places we've ever been to! There's an authentic feel to the restaurant upon walking in. The doors were propped open since the weather was nice out. Definitely lively for lunch. We ordered the Large Combo for our party of 5 and it was the perfect amount. The quality and flavor of the meat was really good at this price point. Let's not forget about the unlimited banchan?!?! There were so many and they were all full of flavor. Our favorites had to be the fish cakes and kimchi. Pro tip: try searing the fish cake a little before eating (it gets even more flavorful). The service was provided by the staff was good. We were greeted by multiple staff, who were all friendly and double/triple checked that we had been assisted. The ladies regularly made their rounds, periodically checking on us and promptly bringing the items we requested. God bless their hearts bc we ordered so many banchan refills. Overall, great experience, would come here to eat again.

Met up a friend for lunch.. ordered a couple soup dishes as krn bbq would be a bit heavy for lunch. Side dishes were average at best. I had the spicy soup (yukaejang). Just slightly above average but it hit the spot. Friend went safe dwaenjang jjigae. I assume hers was just OK as she didn't finish it. I'll def have to come back to report on their krn bbq.

Came here for dinner. We were seated pretty quickly. Our server was moving super quick, however it seemed very rushed which wasn't appealing when you're trying to eat and relax. We had the all you can eat for $45/person. We ordered a mix of pork jowl, short rib, brisket, and beef top sirloin. The portions were decent and the meat tasted okay. The jowl was fattier than other places I've had it. The banchan was good and came with a variety of cucumber kimchi, bean sprouts, and radish to name a few. It also came with the typical sesame oil and fermented soybean paste. Overall I'm not sure if I would come back. I've had other Korean places and all you can eat that were better.

Service, very much poorly take order... Even though less customers inside restaurant, finally coming with sorry kitchen staff forgotten, but they do have ordering system, Never never recommend this restaurant at all...

They have many different type of korean food beside BBQ. All you can eat BBq and all the others, no brainer to go here.

It's pricey but worth it. DON'T come here if you don't enjoy tasty quality Korean bbq DON'T come here if you don't LOVE banchan, because their spread is delicious and plentiful Service was indulgent JUST wish they had a little bit MORE veggies - add that and it would be an easy 5star rating!

Came for dinner on a Friday night, party of 5, with 2 Big growing teenage boys, for AYCE KBBQ. The food was really good, my favorite was the spicy pork. However, I've had better service elsewhere. Probably because it was during peak dinner hours. When we went, we ordered 4 or 5 meat items for the grill and had to wait 15 minutes before we could put another order in. It was so busy we could barely get our waiters attention. And with the 1 1/2hr dining limit, we were disappointed we weren't able to eat as much as we wanted to & left still feeling hungry. We probably won't be returning during peak dining hours again and will try going on a weekday instead.

If I'm could give it zero or negative stars I would. You think you're eating authentic Korean food? Think again. The noodle bags are littering the back of the "restaurant"

This place is my go-to kbq place after hiking when I visit Seattle. It's a little pricey but you definitely get your money's worth. I've never gone to an AYCE kbbq place where the quality doesn't decrease the more servings you get until I found Chosun. There's a variety of side dishes, so much that you might find other tables have some that don't fit on yours. You do have to be pretty on top of ordering as they get pretty busy and it can be difficult to flag down servers to ask for grill changes and refills. I highly recommend getting the beef tongue as that was the top pick for our table.

We went during I'm suppose dinner rush? 5ish. They sat us down and completely ignored us for about 15-20 minutes. No menu or water given but our grill was on. We waited a little more and just ended up leaving. Disappointed.. we smelled like kbbq but never got to eat Ha!

After 4 days without power, needed to dine out and stay warm. Decided to try this place and glad we did! Good quality of meat, friendly service and not overly crowded for a Friday night dinner. With BBQ fans running, it can be little noise but much better than having smoke all over the place.

Chosun is def a place you can go for everything, soondubu, KFC, and other Korean dishes like cold noodles. In Fed Way, most people know there's so many Korean spots to choose from within a mile or two radius. What sets this one apart is the variety and the service. My cousins come here often and I was always curious. This isn't one that stands out on the road, it's nicely tucked away and can miss it as you're driving towards the commons. The space is chill and a lot of tables, the ambiance is a common Korean restaurant with their decor. The menu is extensive and I would want to try the AYCE KBBQ menu next time I go. You get a little bit of everything from here that fulfills everyone's cravings. I got the soondubu combo with kabli ribs. It was bomb! Loved the silkiness of the tofu and the ribs were meaty. We also got the KFC soy garlic for the table and I would come here again despite my bias with Underground Kitchen. It's worth the try and will get a lot for your money!

One of the best meat!!! Huge menus and they are all very delicious.. servers are amazing

Service subpar, went in on Thursday dinner, wasn't busy at all and it took 15 mins for server to come take our order and we had to ask him to come over. Proceeded to order and wanted to order the Bo Sam specifically since we heard it was good here. The server says they don't do that on Thursdays. That would've been helpful to put on the menu. Anyways, I hear the KBBQ is good here but won't come back to try. The rest of the food was subpar at best.

We've dined here multiple times. We were really impressed with the meat selections and all the sides that you can order with your AYCE. Price is much higher than most kbbq in the area, but it also includes all those other special sides. Service is always mediocre, or lacking. The ajimas there are more worried about turning tables than checking if you want more meat or sides. We always have to flag them down if we need something. Also, their restaurant closes at 11PM. That doesn't mean they take their last table at 11PM. It means last table gets sat at 9:45PM, last call for food is 10:10PM, and they all walk out and lock their business doors by 11PM. Good food, subpar service.

I've passed by Chosun a few times but decided to try it with my friends. We got AYCE bbq and they were packed. Upon entering, my experience was already poor. They didn't have any central heating and to make things worse it was snowing outside so it was cold inside. They had two space heaters which limited the amount of tables to warm up. The other thing was that there was only one employee who was allowed to take meat orders. During our 2 hours there, we had to actively flag them down to order. Each time the table was empty and the server had to come back after 10 minutes to take the order. With service and ambiance already pretty poor, I had hoped the food was better. Meat quality was subpar to the price - super fatty meats and eel that had a fishy aftertaste. Wouldn't come back or recommend Chosun.

My family and I (6), came for the AYCE dinner. Right when you sit down they give you all the banchan and water. They allow 4 selection of meats at a time BUT you must finish that order first before you can order anything else (which sucks). Ive read other reviews and didnt read anything about having to eat EVERYTHING before you get anymore, maybe its just us they did that too. The portion they give you is quite a bit so you'll probably never get to tasting anything else because you literally have to consume everything before ordering again (didnt expect that from an AYCE place and for the steep price, I should be able to get what I want.) For the grilling, they use an electric stove type of thing where you just put the grill on top. Not really ideal for KBBQ because the pork will never get crunchy like we would like. The food took forever to cook. Its basically cooking your food on a pan. The char you get from real flames is totally different, you wont get that here. Service was ok. Had to flag down a waiter a few times to order sides that come with the AYCE. We ordered think slice pork belly - couldnt get it to cook correctly. We also ordered Beef Bulgogi- that was good. we ordered the Rib eye (SELECT- by looks and taste of it) that is limited to 1 person, it wasnt good nor did it cook correctly because its basically frying it on a pan. Also ordered Shrimp (old-mushy), scallops and soy- sauce duck. I think what really set the tone was when they denied us to order other types of meat. Then they crammed 6 adults in a medium size table, very uncomfortable and couldnt easily shift in my seat. Its safe to say that we wont be returning, after a $400 bill for 6 people and walking out of there just unsatisfied, not worth it at all. For $400, i should have been able to sample all sorts of meat. The other AYCE places in federal way are better. But this id all my opinion, take it with a grain of salt and try it out for your self.

More of a 3.5 stars... Let's start with service...the lady who sat us was very friendly and attentive. Got things out for us real quick. At a later time, it was kind of mixed. The service was sporadic, and they would forget certain things we ask for. Overall, just average service... The food...besides the bulgogi, nothing was marinated. So you have to rely heavily on the quality of meat and the sauce they provide. The quality was good, but I have had better. The sauces were garlic sesame oil, sesame oil, and a sauce that resembled a very thin soy mix sauce. So nothing really mind blowing and I think the meat can use a bit more seasoning. The banchan dishes were good, and by the time we asked for a 2nd helping a lot of them were already gone. It's unfortunate, but the banchan were tasty! Chosun is a great place, but probably will go to another KBBQ before returning

I can't believe a place like this exists in Seattle! I wasn't expecting much from an all-you-can-eat spot in terms of meat quality or side dishes, but it completely exceeded my expectations. The meat quality was excellent, and everything was way better than I had anticipated. Highly recommend!

New name, new management (?). The last time I came in 2021, this place had a different name. The inside has not changed, and service was great when we came for lunch on a weekly. The inside looks the same, clean and spacious. Food took almost 30 minutes to arrive, but it may be because we ordered a combination instead of the lunch special. I wish the banchan came as soon as we ordered, but it actually came almost at the same time as the food. We got the #1 combination, which came with soy bean soup, seafood pancake, fluffy egg, spicy pork and spicy squid (my favorite), all for $89. I'd say it's enough food to be shared by 3 people. It was definitely on the pricey, but everything was delicious. I recommend the lunch special (available Monday through Friday) for a better value.

This is the best KBBQ place in the Fed, hands down! I've come in person and ordered delivery and have always been satisfied. It is super clean inside with a mixture of grill and regular tables. I had the galbi, the Korean fried chicken, the bulgogi, and the fish stew, and all were wonderful. The banchan is also very flavorful and they keep it coming. The galbi is the dish I can never get enough of and would order repeatedly. The best part is the service. The servers are all very kind and accommodating.

AYCE bbq which includes appetizers like tteokbokki = count me in! All the sides were delish, but the scallion pancake and tteokbokki was mid. The tteokbokki was a little hard to chew, but there's a great meat and seafood selection. It was about $47/48 per person before tax and tip. I would recommend other kbbq places to get a better bang for ur buck, but this is a good solid place if you would like a lot of variety!

The food was great. The servers were attentive. It wasn't too loud to hear. The price was reasonable and the food was just the right amount.

My favorite AYCE Korean BBQ! I've been to a lot of Korean BBQs and this one definitely stands out. They offer premium cut meats and their entire menu is included in the AYCE price. Everything we had was so delicious and cooked to perfection, highly recommend!
