High-end Korean BBQ with quality meats & tableside service
"This Korean spot on East Pike is a fantastic place to get some folks together to grill your own gochujang-marinated kurobuta pork, kalbi short rib, or prime ribeye if you’re feeling particularly luxurious. It works well as a pregame destination if you’re planning to hop around to some Capitol Hill bars, but it’s also enough of a soju-and-meat-fueled party in here if the only place you hit up afterward is your bed." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Going out for Korean BBQ is always a great group dinner move, and Meet is our first choice within city limits, let alone the neighborhood. There's big-night-out energy aplenty thanks to sizzling griddles, mood lighting, and a great wine list. But Meet's menu is the main attraction. Every cut—be it pork jowl or bavette—is equal parts charred and melty. Excellent banchan complement and cut through the fat. And sides like soybean stew and kimchi fried rice are just as elevated as all that luxury beef. Sit back, let a server handle grilling, and proceed to make fun of your friend whose glasses keep getting fogged up from the steam." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley

There's big-night-out energy aplenty thanks to sizzling griddles, mood lighting, and a great wine list (look at you, 2016 Cannubi Barolo pairing with tangy bulgogi). Unlike other spots that put too much effort into a flashy atmosphere above all else, Meet's menu is really the main attraction. Every cut—be it pork jowl or bavette—is equal parts charred and melty.

Food Rundown Sigature Feast This is the best way to do Meet—it's a stellar combination of pork and beef, and comes with a nice hot skillet of kimchi pork belly fried rice—which we would have demanded you tack on anyway. Add meats a la carte as you see fit, but know that this should be a good amount for your group." - Aimee Rizzo
"Servers at this Capitol Hill spot—with big shiny windows, an open kitchen, and grills set into wooden tables—take on the responsibility of perfecting the wagyu for you. They also have some of the tastiest proteins in town, like gochujang-marinated kurobuta pork, kalbi short rib, or prime ribeye if you’re feeling particularly fancy. Meet works well as a group dinner before hopping around to some bars on the Hill." - kayla sager riley
"Sure, there are saunas at a spa, but for an even better pore-opening experience, there's Meet. This Korean BBQ spot on Capitol Hill feels like a self-care party the moment you step in. Platters of luxurious cuts of meat like A5 wagyu and dry-aged ribeye make this a perfect place to celebrate something (anything) with a big group—plus, they take reservations. Catch up with friends, sip soju cocktails, and pile plates with crackly chicken wings, gochujang pork shoulder, and cheesy corn." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, carlo mantuano, gabe guarente
