"$50 per person for Korean BBQ is not the screaming deal we all want it to be (welcome to 2025). But considering that Meet’s meal includes fancier cuts like wagyu zabuton and berkshire pork belly, that’s worth something. You’ll also receive egg soufflé and stew." - kayla sager riley, aimee rizzo
"While the Seattle area is starting to get its fair share of Korean barbecue joints, Capitol Hill’s Meet Korean Barbecue is the destination for those looking to enjoy high-end meats in the KBBQ style. The restaurant offers all kinds of American and Japanese wagyu and Kurobata pork cuts, as well as dry-aged USDA Prime steaks and sides like Korean beef tartare with pine nuts and Asian pear." - Sophie Grossman, Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Eater Staff
"Does anyone else feel really awkward when someone asks you how it feels to be another year older? Instead of saying, “I feel closer to death, thank you,” drown out the interrogations with sizzle noises at Meet Korean BBQ. 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
"Bringing “Meat + Fire + Fermentation” to Capitol Hill, Meet Korean BBQ is one of the better places to enjoy Korean barbecue in the heart of Seattle. Various “Feasts” of Wagyu beef and Kurobuta pork come complete with banchan, corn cheese, ssam, egg souffle and Wagyu soybean stew. Diners can also order beef and pork plates a la carte, with steak tartare and seafood scallion pancakes available as starters." - Jay Friedman, Eater Staff
"This Capitol Hill Korean BBQ spot is a fantastic place to get some folks together to eat 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 Capitol Hill bars, but it’s still enough of a party if the only place you hit up afterward is your bed. And the best part is that you won't need to appoint one hard-working friend to do all the cooking and miss out on the fun. Servers operate the tabletop grill for you, which means you can swirl a glass of sake and snack on cheesy corn without worrying if the A5 wagyu is burning." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley, gabe guarente
