So happy to have a reliable AYCE KBBQ spot south of Lynnwood! This location has been a carousel of Korean restaurants in the past, so I hope this one sticks around. Judging by how busy they were during our visit, my fingers are crossed!
My husband & I opted for the $32 pp option, and it was perfect for us. I typically zero in on the nonmarinated meats, so having brisket, beef belly & pork belly was enough for me. The nonmarinated meat quality was better than expected, and it definitely did the job for the price point! I was also relieved they had ssamjang (Korean bean paste, traditionally consumed with KBBQ) at the buffet bar, which I didn't see in any of the pictures posted. My husband was a huge fan of the marinated options, and while I'm typically very picky for marinated meats, they had this Korean's stamp of approval! We especially enjoyed the pork neck & spicy pork bulgogi.
Banchan selection was vast and plentiful, although I can't say any of it stood out taste wise, which is fine since the meat is the star. However, it's actually very rare to see full leaves of green leaf lettuce at KBBQ restaurants (typically, salads are served), so I was very happy to see this here. But you could also make a salad as well, since they had cut up lettuce as well, with plenty of dressing options!
Service was surprisingly attentive and efficient. Staff is very hard working, and did so an amazing job managing the many occupied tables! We will definitely be back!
