I looooooooved this experience. The food was absolutely delicious! The service was great! So much food and it was all very tasty. Had my first Korean rice wine and I could easily drink that everyday. YUM! I'll be back whenever I'm in town for sure!

This restaurant came recommended and it did not disappoint. We had never eaten here before and only had Korean BBQ one other time. This place will see our faces again! We got the small Marinated Combo ("serves 2-3"), there were 4 of us and we're not huge eaters. The small combo served us very well - granted we had an order of Fried Dumplings on the side, no one left hungry, and we had some food (the sides) left. The quality of the food was great and so was the selection of meats and sides. Great staff, they were very helpful and explained the process we were about to go through. Nathan offered to cook our first round at the table for us since we were inexperienced. He and Eric kept us entertained and supplied with meat and sides for the entire meal. The restaurant was clean, with an airy open atmosphere. When they are busy you do sit close to other diners, but we were easily able to carry on private conversations at our table. The restaurant is across the street from Regal at the Landing and a short walk to the parking garage to the west of the cinema. As I said before - we'll be back!

What an incredible experience at Exit 5 Korean BBQ! I brought a party of 12, and from the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was inviting and lively. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group, providing outstanding service that made the evening even more enjoyable. Now, let’s talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal. The quality of the meats was top-notch, perfectly marinated, and cooked to perfection right at our table. I’ve had Korean barbecue in many places around the world, and Exit 5 ranks among the best. The banchan (side dishes) were fresh and plentiful, complementing the meal beautifully. Whether you’re a seasoned KBBQ lover or trying it for the first time, this place delivers an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommend for groups, special occasions, or just a great meal out!

I went on a trip and was recommended as a good restaurant, and it was so delicious. The mouth, eyes, and ears were all enjoyable. The recommended LA galbi and bibim naengmyeon have a very harmonious taste. If you eat LA galbi, I definitely recommend bibim naengmyeon. I was happy that side dishes other than the main menu kept being refilled. I feel like I was given a wonderful dinner.

Exit 5's delicious sizzling hot food, impeccable service, and warm atmosphere are extra welcoming on a cool autumn day. Korean food is one of my family's comfort foods and this place does it right!

As a Korean, I recommend this Korean bbq for 1) good quality meat - beef was very tender and the skin on pork belly was chef’s kiss 🤌🏼 2) service - their service was exceptional and one of the best. Servers knew exactly when the grill had to be changed and banchan had to be refilled. 3) banchan - a variety of fresh banchan that didn’t taste like MSG like most places. I love the broccoli, fresh Kimchi, and bean sprouts. This place puts the effort in. I underestimated this place before visiting but ended up fully enjoying my meal. Thank you.

The food is great. The atmosphere is nice. The service is really good. The owner is super friendly. The tall Korean guy with glasses who helped us was awesome! The all-you-can-eat side dishes are the best! You can even take home what you don't finish! The Korean potato salad is also delicious!

Its been a while since I reviewed. We have visited a few times since the last review and the price has increased each time we have visited. We always get the Mix Combo and its enough for 4 people-ish (i was too full after we went through 2 of the meats, I could not help them finish the rest). Drinks for us usually cost $3-$5 with free refills unless its in a bottle. Service continues to always assist us - changing the burner after each meat is cooked, refilling our sides when it looks low, and checking in if we are doing okay. Overall, its best to enjoy with more than 2 people. The quality of meat is okay and the sides are a great add to the meal.

From entering the establishment, we were immediately greeted and walked to our table. Very tech Savy, but the touch menu is only accessible to the person closest to the menu tablet. That was a bummer and difficult for everyone to make their menu selection. So I was more involved in menu orders then eating or conversation with the group. Food was somewhat fast, since we cooked majority of it. Wish we had someone talked us through the first time we were all there. Food cooked as we wanted. Service was spectacular though. Everyone is willing to help You out when you call them and the refill of the drinks and food was constant as well as changing out the grill. Return, yes, recommend, yes. Glad we went when it wasn't too pack, just busy enough to be seated fast. There isn't much room to Put your purse down so try not to bring too much personal on you. It's not a couch with a dinner table to pile your crap On. Enjoy

I am so happy that a Korean restaurant opened up closer to where I live! And Exit 5 does a great job! When you arrive, it looks like you are in a Korean food market with the decorations. Of course there is the traditional Kpop videos playing against the wall. One thing I wish they did is match the video with the song being piped in. It is different so you cant watch and follow along. Once sat down, you have the option of K-BBQ or just ordering entrees. When I come with my friends, game on with the K-BBQ, but as a creature of habit, I always order the same three things. Kimchi chiggae, which is delicious, grilled mackerel, and the mulnengmyun. (cold buckwheat noodles) I know it seems like a lot, but sometimes a girls gotta get what she wants! The steamed egg is always a go to as well. You will have a great time here and the food is really good. the staff and owner/manager are always roving around and asking if everything is good and if there is anything else they can do which is really nice and friendly. Also, there is unlimited banchan which is always nice so they are asking if you want more to eat! You guys will love eating here and enjoy the food! just a note, they only have beer and soju/wine. No hard liquor. Enjoy!

Such a great place to stop for dinner. Went last Friday night for date night and it was an awesome experience. Staff were extremely attentive, mindful and helpful. I don't have much experience at korean bbq so the assistance without asking made me feel so welcomed. All the side dishes were excellent and they were also very proactive with asking if we wanted any refills on the ones we kept devouring. I definitely want to return.

Came here for lunch after a long time of intending to try this place out. We had the gamjatang, tteokbokki, buldak hotplate, and korean fried chicken. Everything was yummy except for the gamjatang, which was overcooked and dry, so that was disappointing. The interior was attractive and spacious, and I imagine they would be better suited for Korean BBQ over what I had for lunch. Since they use a self ordering system (tablets on the table), service was not a problem, and it was easy to keep our side dishes and cups filled, as well as request for the bill.

Exit 5 is overall fairly expensive and doesn't have unlimited meat like some other Korean bbq places, but the overall quality is great. The ambiance is nice but it's a little loud. Overall I'd come back.

I am a rare consumer of K-bbq joints, simply because I tend to just favor K-bbq at home. However, I enjoy the hassle-free, cleaning-free experience of K-bbq restaurants so we decided to try Exit 5 out! Very large space, and of course the tables were filling up since it was Friday night. We got the beef combo between 5 people and the meat portions felt ample enough for us, but probably would feed 4 average adults comfortably. It's mostly self-order through a tablet attached to each table, so you're also able to order more throughout the meal. Side dishes all feel fresh, I love their Kimchi which is on the less fermented side. I didn't care too much for the regular short rib as it felt too dry and tough. I'd recommend the brisket (a must-order in any K-bbq experience) and the prime short rib. Food comes out quickly and staff is quick with requests! We were celebrating a birthday and our main server was kind and attentive, even bringing out cake plates and a serving knife. I've normally seen places not allow cakes or charge a cake fee so that was nice. Overall a great experience!

This is hands-down the best korean food I've had since being in school in Seoul. It's a little pricey but so worth it. We got bibim naengmyeon and bulgogi and loved both. They come out right away with the banchan, tongs, scissors, etc - they even have mustard and vinegar for the noodles! The service was also incredible. I'm on crutches and a cute old ajussi jokingly offered to carry me to our table We were actually originally seated in a different spot near a large, excited group, and a lady kindly moved us to a quieter and more private spot. We were checked on so often, too. We were overall just super impressed; couldn't shut up about how cozy and welcoming the environment was. Will absolutely make the trip back down here in the future.

This is a good option for some solid Korean BBQ without having to go down to Federal Way or way up north to Shoreline or Lynwood. The quality of meat is good and there are also a ton of cooked options from the kitchen that are always consistent. The service is great, they are always coming around to check to see if you need a clean grill & they have a cart to roll to your table when you need more banchan! Don't sleep on the sides, the steamed egg & the corn cheese are always great choices. They have several combo choices for your BBQ options, they have small & large sizes too. This place is great for a big party as well as just 2-3 people. High vaulted ceilings and a big restaurant so you don't smell too much like BBQ when you leave...good fans & ventilation too.

If you're looking for delicious Korean bbq , this is definitely the place to go!! They also give you free sides which are the best!!

Exit 5 has been the go-to spot for high quality Korean BBQ for many years. With some new contenders opening up north, I came by to re-evaluate. I still prefer this spot over Baekjeong - they're basically even in price and value, but I lean to Exit 5's meat selection without the marination. Service is always excellent. Ask for water once and they'll remember to continuously check in on you for water. While the menu says rice and banchan costs extra after the first refill, I'm not sure if they really stick to this (haven't tried, but they don't seem stingy). However, definitely pricey for the amount. Also the fishcake banchan was warm which made it twice as good. Definitely needed to call that out. Large Beef Combo - while a large is meant to serve 4-5 people, I will argue that the meat itself serves more like 2-3 people. However, if you do get refills on the banchan and rice, you can likely feed 4 to be satiated but not necessarily full. Get the short rib over the ribeye.

Kid-friendly KBBQ. We're big fans of restaurants that make it easier to bring our kids. The staff at Exit 5 are always super welcoming and accommodating during our visits. Kid friendly plates and silverware? Got it. Extra napkins? No problem. More fish cake banchan because that's your daughter's fave? Coming right up! The place is huge with tons of large party tables so we never feel like the kids are all over a tiny space or making too much noise. It's great and the food is delicious. They've also got Korean ice creams next the front. Yum!

Ridiculously overpriced for the quality of meat that you get. The meat was low quality. They give you a lot so if you want volume it's a food option. But if you want good tasting. This isn't the place.

Finally a decent KBBQ in the Renton area :) Located at The Landing, Exit 5 is a pretty solid spot to hit up if you're craving for some yummy KBBQ. While this is not an All You Can Eat, portion size combos are pretty generous! For my small group (4 of us), we were ok hungry (not starving) and a small mix combo was just the right amount of meat + 3 side orders to keep us all full. Meat quality: Pretty good! Marinated beef was very tasty and the cuts of the meat wasn't too fatty. Overall, definitely all of the options we had. Corn cheese: Very yum! Perfect cheese pull and the flavoring was great. Seafood pancake: Super crispy and filled to the brim with seafood. Definitely one of my favorite dishes for the evening. Side dishes/ban chan: Yummy! Generous portions/refills too :) Love the potatoes and spicy kimchi the most Service: had several different people checking in with my group and all were so friendly!! Interior: love the coziness of the place. It's a pretty big restaurant and Exit 5 did a nice job on the decor Reservations: Not available on the weekends it seems. Hands down would recommend this spot to anyone. :)

For my sister's 21st birthday, my family and I recently dined at Exit 5, a Korean BBQ gem nestled at the Landing in Renton, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. We come here often so it's nice that the owner of this establishment recognizes us! Let's talk about the star of the show - the meat. Oh my goodness, it was mouthwateringly delicious! From perfectly marinated bulgogi to succulent slices of chicken thigh, every bite was a flavor explosion. The quality of the meat was top-notch, and the grilling experience at our table added an extra layer of fun to our meal. Now, onto the side dishes - they were simply divine. The banchan spread was generous and varied, featuring classics like kimchi and pickled vegetables, each bursting with authentic Korean flavors. The freshness and attention to detail in these small dishes truly elevated the entire dining experience. I cannot go without mentioning the stellar customer service we received throughout our visit. The staff at Exit 5 went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, from promptly refilling our drinks, to the nice birthday surprise and frequently changing our grill. Their friendly demeanor and attentiveness added an extra layer of enjoyment to our meal. Exit 5 is a must-visit for any KBBQ enthusiast in the Renton area. With delectable meat, mouthwatering side dishes, and excellent customer service, this restaurant truly delivers a memorable dining experience.

Exit 5 Korean BBQ is my jam when it comes to KBBQ in the Seattle area, mainly because their cold noodles are the bomb dot com. You can find it right off exit 5 from I-405, hence the clever name. Parking's a breeze, whether you're into street parking or hitting up the free lot. Plus, there's loads to do around the area. The joint itself is pretty spacious, with enough tables to go around, but if you're not keen on waiting, weekdays are your best bet. We cruised in on a chill Monday night and snagged a table pronto. Inside, it's like stepping into a scene from a K-drama, complete with the tunes and posters. The staff's friendly, although they might hustle a bit too much. Our server took charge of the grill, which kinda rushed the vibe. I'm more about taking my sweet time flipping those meats. Speaking of which, the portions were a tad small, especially in the mixed combo, and the beef was nothing to write home about. We also dug into some seafood pancake, steamed egg, and, of course, those legendary cold noodles. Pancake and egg were decent, but those cold noodles were next level, with their refreshing soup base stealing the show. Plus, gotta love the freebies like the house salad and refillable side dishes. But here's the kicker: the ssam option felt a bit overpriced for what you get. Eight bucks for a smear of paste and a mountain of veggies? Ehh, pass. Even with our crew of four, we left feeling like we could've eaten more, especially noticing the smaller portions compared to our last visit. All in all, Exit 5 Korean BBQ still brings the flavor, especially with those cold noodles, but if you're all about that meat life, you might wanna scope out some other spots in the same price range.

Very very good. Quality of food was good. Side dishes were generous. Service was excellent. Place was packed! Definitely a place we will visit again when we are in the area.

Good food and super attentive staff! They changed our grills several times without us asking!!! And they kept on coming asking us if we needed more side dishes. Serving speed was super fast too. We ordered soju and then saw other table ordered the somek tower. We then also ordered somek tower. But the waiter didn't let us know it would cost $80- wish he could have told us. The environment was spacious and clean!! Parking was easy as there was a parking garage for the plaza.

One of our new kbbq places. It is not all you can eat, and the pricing is more expensive than other kbbq places in the area. But the meat is good and the sides are unlimited and all really tasty. The service is also very good. They are on top of refills and changing out the grill without being asked. We have gone a few times now and will continue to come back

Nicole Q.

Yelp
High quality meats in a bustling atmosphere. Combos come with all you can eat sides. Service is excellent: the entire house is available to serve food, help cook meat, and refill bon chon. You really won't be unattended for long. It's a very popular restaurant, probably the only kbbq in a 7 mile radius, and always boasts a healthy wait list. Unfortunately the biggest drawback is that Exit 5 is a bit expensive compared to other KBBQ joints.

We tried exit 5 KBBQ when we were in Seattle and it did not disappoint! It is not AYCE but we got the marinated meats option for the table. My favorite was the pork belly as it was seasoned to perfection whenever cooked. The side dishes are the best part IMO. I loved the kimchi and pickled onions! The sauces paired perfectly with the meats. The waiters checked on us multiple times and made us comfortable with our dining experience. The decorations were really cool and matched the aesthetics!

Esther L.

Yelp
We came on a weekday for lunch and there was plenty of seating. The staff was quick to serve us and checked on us throughout our time there, refilling our side dishes, which we appreciate. The meat was marinated very nicely and we liked the wide variety of side dishes served. The seafood pancake was also nice. The peach soju that we ordered paired nicely with our meal. Overall a pretty good experience. The price is a little steep though but we left feeling stuffed so it was pretty worth it.

10/10 stars: food, staff and everything. Comparable to la kbbq. Food: quality was good, the bulgogi was not too fatty Side dishes were excellent Staff was so sweet and nice and attentive.

Exit 5 kbbq Guys, I love KBBQ! Exit 5 is one of my boyfriend and I's favorite places to get it in the Greater Seattle area. The service has been very good most of the times that I have gone. I do not have to ask for the grill to be changed or for more banchan (side dishes). The music they play fits the kbbq vibes perfectly. I appreciate places that play good music cause it makes a fun atmosphere. What I've got: - Mixed Combo (Small $99): Beef Brisket, Seasoned Boneless Short Rib, Pork Belly, and Marinated Pork Neck - Beef Combo (Small $99): Beef Brisket, Seasoned Boneless Short Rib, and choice between Prime Boneless Short Rib or Ribeye - Pork belly ($35) & thin beef brisket ($38) The meats are always really good and I love that they help you cook sometimes and give you tips on how to cook it better. The small combo feeds 2-3 people and it gets me super full especially with the side dishes. However, I've noticed that the prices for the combos have increased by $10-20. They also only take orders off the new tablets they installed which was fine. Some of the banchan were not as fresh as usual; the cucumber was surprisingly bitter. Despite this, I do appreciate the workers kindness and attentiveness there. I've always loved going to exit 5 kbbq and will continue to go in the future. They're still one of the best around the area. Check them out:)

By far... hands down... No doubts... this is the BEST KBBQ PLACE in WA! From outside to inside... From door to server... From waiting time to being seated... From ordering to food arrival... From heating up the grill to cooking... From picking the chopstick to chow time... ITS EATING TIME BABY! You better be prepare to enjoy quality meat . (check out the menu while you wait. it helps to get your order in quickly.) Side dishes to try: Corn with cheese. Yummmmyyyy! Soft Tofu soup. Delicious! (*don't get ham. No flavor.) Just know, you are there to have a good time. Don't forget to get Soju peach! It feels good when you have a good buzz while the atmosphere is playing good music. TBH: it's on the pricy side but it's all worth it. You won't have a bad experience nor walk away slightly hungry. Servers are all wonderful and professional. Pls tip. They do deserve it. Especially with all the dishes they gotta display: side dishes, main dishes, sauce dishes, food dishes, and drinks. Wow! How many dishes did we really have? GET IN THE CAR AND GO HERE!!!

I ordered the small beef platter with prime rib. Nothing to complain about. Standard cuts of meet and good portion sizes. It was slightly over priced for food you have to cook yourself but some would enjoy that experience. The server was phenomenal and extremely attentive.

Good food and excellent service. Recommend the "marinated" combo. They come around all the time so you don't have to look for a server (someone is managing the staff very well). They will also help with cooking the meat. We went at 5pm and was able to sit down straight away, but by the time we left there were hordes of people waiting. The place was full but it did not feel crowded because of the very high ceiling.

This is a pretty good Korean BBQ restaurant. It's quite large inside. They were blasting what appeared to be dance dance revolution esque music so it felt like we were in a club! We had a party of 6 and we ordered the large beef combo set that said it would be good for a party of 5. We also got cold noodles and rice cakes so I felt like it was a good amount of food. I don't usually eat too much by the way. The beef quality overall was good. I liked the thin sliced meats the best and I thought those meats paired well with the sesame oil and salt sauce they have. The thicker slabs of beef were also tasty but large! I would recommend cutting them with scissors to make them bite sized. I was getting quite full and a bit sick of the flavor (very smokey) towards the end. The ban chan was tasty. I really liked the potato salad - very creamy and flavorful! Probably one of my favorites I've had at any Korean restaurant. The fish cake was also delicious and oily. Kimchi and broccoli were okay, could have used some more flavor. I thought the cold noodle soup was decent. They do let you add your own mustard and vinegar. I think the base soup wasn't that tangy so adding some vinegar helped. The noodles are very very clumpy though so I definitely recommend cutting them with scissors. You cook your own meats here. Don't forget to season the grill first with the piece of fat they provide. The staff was kind enough to switch out the cooking plate when it got too oily. (We didn't order any drinks but I thought the frogs on the drink menu were cute)

Yelp
okay, our family loves korean bbq. a lot. we recently tried exit 5. exit 5 has amazing cuts of meat - way better than all the AYCE places - we really enjoyed here the biggest downside to here is the atmosphere - it's a nice location, it's clean, the food is good, but the restaurant is exceptionally loud so it's hard to hold a conversation with a large group

Salina P.

Yelp
Every time I visit, I always receive exceptional service. They are so attentive here, always checking in and there are even servers that roll a cart around to refill your banchan. The quality of the meat is very good. I usually opt for one of the combos. If you're not in the mood for self grilled kbbq, they also have a regular menu with a lot of variety. I came in for a couple of different birthdays and on one occasion they had served us a complimentary steamed egg! On another occasion, they were sweet enough to surprise us with the spicy rice cakes with a candle on top.

Hailley O.

Yelp
Our party ordered meat ala carte since we mainly wanted the brisket and pork belly. We also got a kimchi pancake and steamed egg for appetizers. The brisket and pork belly were delicious! I feel like you can't go wrong with those two meats when it comes to kbbq. The brisket was thin and tender and the pork belly was thick and juicy. The kimchi pancake had a nice crisp to it and the steamed egg is what you expect it to taste like. The portion size was not too bad because with those two orders of meat it filled us up along with the appetizers, rice and banchan. We were full but not overly stuffed but that's ok since we were saving room for dessert afterwards. The service was great! They always checked up on us and kept asking if we wanted refills for the banchan. The restaurant is pretty big inside and has a chill vibe to it. I would come here again!

Great atmosphere, service and food. The people are the best. I enjoyed the panchan, quality of meat, and this place has the best vibe. We try other kbqq places but this one is our favorite.

When I went here first time a few years ago it was quite busy and wait was close to an hour. Just revisited recently during weekday and there was no wait, so that's good news. The place itself is big and ventilation is good so it didn't smell - even after dinner. Service was good and fast and frequent refill on banchan - in fact they even have a cart going around to refill it. We decided to go with mixed meat platter - the beef short rib was the best but brisket and pork belly was good too. We had enough food for two to take the pork neck to go. Overall it wasn't bad pricing for kbbq but of course it wasn't cheap. Food quality, Service and restaurant ambience did support the price.

Aaron L.

Yelp
Exit 5 is one of the few good Korean bbq places in the Seattle area. The meat quality is really good and the sides are so yummy and unlimited. The service is also very quick and the workers are really nice. Their ventilation system works pretty well so you don't smell like smoke after. It's not AYCE but it definitely makes up for it in quality!

Arthur T.

Yelp
Came by with a group of 4 on a Thursday evening around 8:30pm and we were sat immediately. We opted for the large mix combo which consists of beef brisket, seasoned boneless short rib, pork belly, and marinated pork neck. The quality of meat was good. Banchan variety was good as well. We topped everything off with a few bottles of soju. Staff was friendly and came by to top off sides and drinks. Meal overall was more on the pricier end. Probably close to $50-60 a head with some drinks. Parking in the garage nearby.

好大一家店,很宽敞的位置,很韩式的装修风格,一看就有食欲。五个人点了一份烤牛肉套餐加了一份单点五花肉,一份石锅饭,一份前菜。肉的品质非常好,分量也很足,调料和小菜都很正宗。非常推荐!

I get take out from here every few months and the food has been good. The portions are decent sized and they are pretty good about their timing for your order. Parking is always an adventure at Renton Landing. I can't speak much about the service or ambiance because I get the food to go but the restaurant looks pretty full every time I pick up my food.

The service was good ! Exit 5 BBQ restaurant can be hit or miss, but this time, my BBQ experience was quite enjoyable! Our group of four ended up with a bill of $350 plus tip, which felt a bit steep, especially considering we only had three beers and some soda--the majority of the cost came from food. While we did finish everything, I'm hesitant to return given the rising prices.

This was truly the best culinary AND customer service experience of the decade! We had a very warm welcoming greeting and the decor and feel of this restaurant is very cool and fun! They have a brick wall with K-pop videos playing there, is a Godzilla wall too. It's very warm and inviting and comfortable. But the service is truly where they shined! We had service and care like we were the only ones there, but the restaurant was full! The attentiveness and warmth made us feel like we were in a super HIGH END restaurant. Dont get me wrong, this IS a high end restaurant, but, I think you know what I mean. They changed out our grill SEVERAL times, and offered refills on everything multiple times. The sides were spectacular! The meat was perfect! We will be back and I highly recommend everyone experience Exit 5's beyond exceptional, 10 star service and culinary euphoria!

Food, service, and ambiance all 5 stars!!!! Food quality is awesome and beats every Korean BBQ in WA state. It is pricey though so I definitely wouldn't come here all the time, but if I had the money, I would. Unlike many other KBBQ joints this spot has very fresh and high quality meat for the price. The service is top notch and always consistent. I will say thought if you go when it's busy, it is slightly harder to get a hold of a server but that is a given! Please be kind and patient to your service workers :)

Came here with friends to try their Korean BBQ but they got lazy to cook so we deceived to order from their entree menu for faster food. For our appetizer we got the sweet and spicy wings which were fresh and delicious. For my entree I got the spicy chicken bulgogi which was also really tasty and came out sizzling. It was definitely a lot of dark meat for the price of $25. My friends got the beef soup and bibimbap and enjoyed their dishes as well. Our entrees also came with a variety of side dishes like pickled cucumber, mashed potatoes, bean sprouts, broccoli, fish cakes and 1 more item with unlimited refills. They also have the classic cheesy corn on their menu to order if you would like. Overall, we had a great meal and the service was really top notch and fast. The one star off is because they charged us for takeaway boxes which is usually complimentary at every restaurant I've been too so it was weird to see the extra $2 charge. It's not a big deal but seems unreasonable when you're spending $100+ at a restaurant. Also conveniently located in the Landing plaza with plenty of parking in their lot or garage. There are also some nice dessert spots in the area like Menchies and Snowy Village within walking distance which are a plus for after dinner munchies.

My favorite kbbq spot in washington!!!! The side dishes, meat quality, ambiance and the service are all top tier. They dont take reservations but the space is pretty big so you generally don't have to worry too much about finding a spot. Four of us got a small pork combo and small beef combo with a side of steamed egg and chadol soy bean soup. The soup was PERFECT and brought me back home. This is a must go to spot for kbbq lovers.

This is a yummy Korean restaurant nestled amongst several other food options. I was invited to dinner here with two other people who know and love Korean food, so I let them order and surprise me. I loved the bonchon offerings here, as well as the shrimp fried rice. I didn't partake in the beef bibimbap, but it smelled delicious! The mung bean noodles were very tasty, and we had a good experience here. There was some confusion when we were trying to leave as there wasn't someone at the cashier, but we got it sorted. We parked over by Ulta and walked over, as the restaurant faces the main drag and there aren't places to park directly near it.

Went in during dinner time and the wait was only 15-20 minutes. Food is amazing as always, it's super worth, averaging $30-40 per person. What made the experience different this time was that they brought out a spinning wheel and you would get the item if you landed on it. Various things on there like free kpop merch/pjs, free food, etc. Servers were always quick to respond to your request and the place definitely pass the vibe check.
