Absolutely incredible experience! Stepping into this place felt like being transported straight back to Korea — from the vibrant atmosphere to the authentic energy, everything was spot on. The Korean BBQ was out of this world — the meat was tender, perfectly marinated, and grilled to juicy, flavorful perfection. Every bite melted in my mouth. The vibe, the food, the service — all top-tier. 100% coming back again. Highly recommend!

My husband and I stumbled upon this place tonight just as I had been craving Korean fried chicken and soondubu! We got both and they were SO GOOD. The chicken was juicy and crispy, and I particularly loved the sweet and spicy sauce. The soondubu had great flavor and perfectly soft tofu—maybe could have used slightly more seafood bits, but also we were sharing. Our server was excellent (sorry I didn’t catch his name); personable and attentive without being clingy, and he brought out a delicious sweet rice soup at the end of our meal as a wonderful palate cleanser. This is a fantastic addition to our North Seattle neighborhood!

One of the best kbbq I’ve ever had. The food quality was great, very fresh and high quality. Soup was delicious and flavorful. Best customer service, everyone is really nice and not to mention, their drink menu was yummy and worth to try. The cold noodles tasted just like you’re in Korea. I will definitely come back!

Absolutely fantastic experience!! It's better than what I had in Seoul!! The flavors were authentic, and the Banchan were beautifully presented. I highly recommend the short rib-perfectly seasoned and grilled at the table.The atmosphere is high energy, with staff working as a team, paying absolute attention to you.

ONMI completely blew me away! Everything from the food to the ambiance to the service was top notch. The meats were amazing. Premium cuts, beautifully marinated, and grilled to perfection. Their signature marinated short ribs were a standout. I also tried a few traditional dishes like the soft tofu stew, galbijjim, gamjatang, and naengmyeon. Hands down better than any Korean food I've had in LA. No joke. You can really taste the authenticity in every bite. I always leave completely full and satisfied. Can't wait to come back!

I personally had a great time at Omni but this review was of just their normal cuisine menu and not their KBBQ. We also came during happy hour so I was pretty happy with the price of our food. Their banchan was really good and they were very generous with it. This is also the only Korean restaurant I have found that serves potato pancakes and not just seafood ones. The army stew was by far everyone's favorite and was super large and filling. We were also given this chilled sweetened rice drink they likened to Korean horchata and it was one of my favorite drinks I've had all year. Would highly recommend this place for their normal menu which definitely is not a normal Korean menu but I mean that in the best way!

They charged additional noodles for our Korean army soup when we didn’t order it. Other than that the food was good, my favorite was the quesadilla, chicken, stew, and pancake in that order. Good service, good banchan, complimentary dessert. I’d come back and give them another try.

You know that chef on culinary class wars that only served chef anh a plate of roasted meat? And insisted on proving himself with only the quality of the meat? The show hyped and hyped that chef only to be eliminated after a single bite? That’s exactly how I feel here. The good: decor is nice and clean. Staff friendly. That’s it. I got the small package ($160) to share with my wife. 1) kimchi stew: not the best I’ve ever had. Nice tofu and pork pieces tho. 2) bulgogi: not special. could have gotten this at a value meal set at a budget friendly Korean restaurant. 3) egg souffle: was nicely risen when it came out. Good flavor. Also not anything special. 4) the meat: we got six rectangles of meat. Lean, tender, well salted. But honestly I expected more than just … 6 rectangles for $160 5) banchan: just normal. Fishcakes and green onion salad were my favorites. Not sure about serving that pancake cold. Nice crispy pickles. 6) I had to ask about the daily specials that I saw on IG. I also had to ask for sauce. I don’t think the quality of the meat is so good that sauce is totally unnecessary. We didn’t try any marinated meats with the small package so who knows. Maybe those are better. Def recommend getting a side of rice to eat with everything. Quite frankly, the servers and decor were nice but the food is lacking. For these prices in this area, I expect to be wowed. I could walk across the street or walk up and down either side for better food for less and larger quantities. I haven’t been this unhappy about a dining experience in a long time. The slushy rice punch at the end was nice at least. It does taste like something I can get at the grocery store.

First time writing a review because I'm reading some non sense reviews and for people who has ego to even write a bad review to newly restaurant. They seem like they are all hard workers and the food already proved it. I love ignorant people these days. Keep it up ONMI, yall doing great !

Excellent staff, food and service! Above & Beyond. I stumbled upon this place on yelp when I was driving by Shoreline. I stopped in for a drink and ended up trying out the food and glad I did! Farm to table meat is where you don't see often in Seattle and side dish is another level. You can't experience that in AYCE. Price is excellent for a small package you get prime new york steak, prime ribeye, prime boneless short rib and LA galbi. Ambiance is very modern and cozy too. This place is going to grow real fast!

BEST KOREAN BBQ IN SEATTLE As someone who has eaten kbbq for forever, I have high standards when it comes to rating a kbbq spot. This place is an easy 5/5. Immaculate. Quality. Meats. The meat alone deserves the 5/5 rating -- additionally with tremendous and prompt service, a perfect spread of high quality banchan, fans that keep your clothes from smelling like meat, easy location with an abundance of parking, it's all a no brainer to give this place the praise it deserves

Was excited to try this new spot recently, not having done the traditional Korean BBQ where they cook it at the table before. When I arrived I was given the choice of sitting on the BBQ side or the "cuisine" side. They have a different menu depending on what you order. So it is a bit expensive but the portions are huge. My friend and I shared the SOTTUKKEONG BBQ SET (serves 2-3). We both took home leftovers! Everything was so tasty though, especially the bulgogi. It was seasoned well. I didn't think the pork belly had enough flavor though. It was so fun to see them cook in front of us! Although the downside was that if we didn't take the meat off it would keep cooking while we ate. We had to ask for an additional plate to put the extra meat on. They did a good job communicating when it was ready and told us not to let it cook too long otherwise it would get overdone. Overall I would definitely come back here, but bring a couple more people.

My table of four shared the SOTTUKKEONG BBQ SET (meant for 2-3), plus spicy-marinated raw crab, cold noodles, and Korean fried chicken. Honestly, it was way more than enough for four adults--we walked out with leftovers. The highlights for me were the pork jowl, LA galbi, kimchi stew, Sikhye rice punch, and the spicy-marinated raw crab. We also really enjoyed the cold noodles, Korean fried chicken, and TAKJU makgeolli. All the side dishes hit the spot--especially the pickled radish. Also, they were very accommodating for a big birthday group. The interior is bright, clean, and modern. Bonus points for their powerful fans--we spent two hours grilling away and somehow didn't leave smelling like BBQ. Service was awesome, parking was plentiful. No doubt I'll be coming back!

We came here with a reservation at 8:45 PM on a Wednesday. We took advantage of the Happy Hour and ordered the seafood pancake with draft makgeoli for $20, and the assorted deep-fried platter for $12. We also ordered ONMI's small package for two ($160), the pork belly with aged kimchi ($60), and the soy sauce-marinated raw crab ($40). Everything was delicious! The raw crab was fresh and satisfying. However, we were disappointed that the pork belly with aged kimchi only came with three pieces -- which meant each piece of pork belly cost $20! The staff was friendly and helpful, especially with cooking at the table. The restaurant was clean and spacious. Overall, the food was flavorful and made with great ingredients, but we found it to be quite expensive. Parking was easy, thanks to the dedicated lot.

GET THE SOUPS We came first for kbbq, seafood pancake, and naengmyeon, which was all ok but the kimchi jjigae was the real stand out. Amazing Came back because our server recommended the budae jeongol (army stew) and it was the best korean soup I think I've had in Seattle. Soo flavorful and for only $50, it could have easily fed 3 people. It came with ramen on the side so it wouldn't get soggy, and had soo many meats inside. I will be coming back to try all of their different soups, they've all been a hit.

We were exploring this new K BBQ restaurant and it did not disappoint! The food was great, service was prompt and helpful. Since it's quite new, it does not (yet, hopefully ever) that glimy, stuffy feels that old K BBQ restaurants might have. Prices are definitely higher, but I'd come back for the food and atmosphere :)

*A "MUST VISIT" Korean Restaurant in North Seattle!* Between the in-house sauces and custom creations, to the sleek/modern look of the interior, Omni is positioning itself to be contender for best Korean experience in Seattle. Yall know the drill, Let's get into the specifics. Food -- 4.5/5 I came for the BBQ, and generally don't experiment when I eat at Korean restaurants, but their wide array of appetizers, small plates, and soups were phenomenal. I just had to try some new things, mainly the sides and the beers (no Asahi, Sapporo, etc.) We got the small package, which is dinner for two, but it was more than enough for 3 when coupled with appetizers. THE MEAT WAS TO DIE FOR! Cooked to perfection (medium to medium rare) and it melted in our mouths! Out of all the meats, the ribeye was the clear winner for me. Also important to note that Korean fried chicken was an honorable mention! We ended up taking this home because we overestimated the amount of food. Service 5/5 All staff were friendly and attentive. I usually gauge this by whether I need to ask for more water. They made sure everything was going well every 5-7 min, and it wasn't bothersome at all. Our server also recommended all of our meals which I appreciated. Ambiance 4.5/5 The interior of this place feels so sleek and modern, like you're stepping into a high class club after hours. It was also quiet though. The bathrooms were also ridiculously clean and smelled amazing do their their fragrant fresheners. Thinking back, I should have asked where they got that from. The only downside to this restaurant is its location. Yes, the parking is abundant, but it's on Aurora Ave, and that area is known for being sketchy. There were even sketchy things happening outside as we walked in. This restaurant would thrive in a different area, like Bellevue or Kirkland. To the owners, please consider opening another location in the east side! ‍Final disposition‍ All in all, this spot is perfect for KBBQ lovers who want to have a one of a kind dining experience, and for groups who don't want to cook their own meals! 4.5/5 would recommend!

Reservations are highly recommended if you want to do KBBQ. Service was very friendly but it seems like they are still working out some kinks as our meal was quite long and it took over 20 minutes before we even had water at our table. We ordered the Omni small package (serves 2) , Ala cart of the Pork Belly and Aged Kimchi, and dongchimi noodle. It was more food than we could finish with a group of 3. Pork belly was definitely our favorite but could have been cooked fat side down first get a better sear. The rest of the package meat was fresh but nothing that memorable. For the price point, we were hoping for something more standout. The bulgogi comes cooked and was our least favorite. Definitely recommend the cold noodles if you are grilling, it balanced with the meat very well. Improvements: Pacing of the meal-there was a lot of gaps in service and we didn't have any rice for the first serving of our meat. We didn't care for their sauce/ vinegar they provided and instead just wished there was sesame oil. Kimchi and cucumber banchan were very fresh but quite spicy (not an improvement but not everyone in our group could enjoy it). Overall, price point was a bit expensive to not love all the meat.

My friends and I decided to try ONMI on a whim and was blown away!!! Our server, griller, host extraordinaire, Andrew, was very attentive and knowledgeable about all the dishes we were eating. Everything that we ate was delicious including all of the banchan. I was impressed that they had housemade acorn jelly and their housemade kimchi was so so good! I've eaten at many Korean BBQ places from NY, LA to around the Seattle area and this was the best! Apparently their pork and beef are from local farms in the surrounding areas making the meat bar none in taste. Generous portions, amazing flavor! Must try the LA galbi - chef's kiss I'm already planning to have my birthday dinner here! As I was about to submit this just got on the house homemade sikhye!!!

Very nice experience overall; what a lovely addition to the north end KBBQ scene. Service was excellent; we made a reservation on Yelp (highly recommend doing that, it can get busy on a weekend in particular), and we were seated immediately. You can choose either to sit in the grilling area of the restaurant, or non-grilling side (with a different menu of kitchen-prepared foods). We chose to grill. That being said, the staff will handle cooking the food for you at your table, so either side of the restaurant can be relaxing. It just depends on what type of food you're interested in eating. Banchan was plentiful and had great variety - it was replenished instantly upon request. The meat/meal sets are a great value, albeit pricey. You do get what you pay for, though - we were very full at the end of the 2-person set meal. Meat cuts were delicious and well prepared; we added a marinated kalbi from the a la carte menu. Meltingly tender and delicious. Bulgogi was equally tender and tasty. We also enjoyed the buckwheat noodles and the kimchi jjigae (so much pork belly! And perfectly spicy). The persimmon dessert, and the cold drink that comes with it, are a refreshing end to the meal. Is Onmi as good as Meet? Food-wise, I prefer the protein selection at Meet (Onmi is beef-centric; Meet has pork, too - I am so partial to that jowl). Service-wise, it's a tie. I do love walking away not smelling of smoke, however, and Onmi has the superior set-up in that regard. The Onmi ventilation is excellent.

Amazing, if you ever wanted an upscale KBBQ experience, this is it. Honestly one of the best in Seattle right now in my opinion and blows Meet Korean BBQ out of the water (sorry you're catching strays). Came during soft opening and everything was so polish, it's clear they're ready to deliver. We were celebrating a birthday so they surprised us with this Korean seaweed soup. This set the bar high, it was so flavorful and delicious. Their Makgeolli is their own partnership with a spot in Woodinville. The one we got was unique and although a bit grainy, complimented the meal well. They do have a clarified version if you don't want the grainy texture. The pics of the meat speak for themselves. And if you're not confident cooking these expensive cuts, they were able to cook for us! As you progress through the meats and finally the ribeye, it gets better and better. Great marbling, amazing flavor, and just perfect mix with the sides. All the sides weee hitting which are unlimited. The package there serves 3-4 people finishes with a unique persimmon dessert and a light rice drink. Everything from start to finish hit the mark and definitely recommend. Great spot to celebrate or impress a date. I hope this place gets all the success they deserve as I haven't been wowed like this in a while. Be ready to drop some bank though, it's $260 currently for the package we got, so roughly $65-88 before tip and tax per person to get some luxury meat sweats you would lick off to repeat the experience.

Everything was delicious. Expensive, but top quality food. The best part is you can make reservations ahead of time and there's a lot of parking available since it's inside a shopping plaza. Since it's on the higher end if kbbq, I'd come only on special occasions. My favorite dish: japchae. Overall, all the meats being grilled by the server was absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection (medium rare).

This new restaurant is fantastic. Went in for date night and the experience did not disappoint. We had great service from the moment we walked in. Food was wonderful. Probably the best Korean bbq experience I've had. It is expensive (was about $290 after tip with one drink each, split meat combo for two, and one appetizer). That being said, will definitely come back. I think they said all the meat is local and rated at least prime which I thought was great. We felt well taken care of by our server Caesar! He was the best server I've had in a while! I could have done without the bulgogi in the set and more raw meat to have cooked!!!

We made a reservation for date night and were very happily surprised with our dining experience. The service was quick and efficient and offered good recommendations. We ordered the Takju makgeoli which we both enjoyed. It is locally sourced from a brewery in Woodinville. For our meal, we got the small package for 2 and the food came out quickly. The Kimchi stew was so authentic and spicy. My husband was most impressed with the meat cuts, which is also locally sourced. My personal favorite was the cucumber kimchi. We will be back with a large group of friends.

Stumbled upon this new restaurant because the wait times at Niku were too long and I'm so glad we did. We ordered the Jungsik Package which was more than enough food for two people and provided for a well-rounded meal with soup, noodles, beef, fish and potato pancakes. Given that we tend to be indecisive, I really enjoyed that it allowed us to get a little taste of many of their menu's highlights. I found the japchae to be a bit salty but aside from that, everything was delicious. They serve 11 different banchan and they were all fresh and well executed. I will say that the service was pretty slow and our server didn't really check up on us. They were on the busier side and they're relatively quite new so I feel like they're still working out the kink on the operational side. Irregardless, everyone was friendly and I'm sure service will speed up as they get the hang of things. Overall, we'll be back as this is easily some of the best Korean food in Seattle.

Yelp
I appreciate the attentive service! The Korean BBQ is decent, but it is still not comparable to LA Korean BBQ. But I need to say that the solo dishes are quite a disappointment. The Dongchimi Noodle dish was overly salty and overpowered with ice. Not worth 22 dollars. I would probably only come here for the Korean BBQ.

Came here to celebrate my brother in law's birthday. It was fun, relaxing, decent food, and had friendly service. First of all, to set expectations, you have to come here knowing you're going to spend a bit for ambiance and food. Make it a special evening out. We had 5 people, and ordered the large Onmi meat set, kimchi pancake, gamjatang, and dongchimee noodles. That was more than enough food for 5 of us. Onmi meat set is pretty decent - great cuts of meat - filet mignon, New York steak, ribeye, boneless short rib, and marinated Kalbi. Honestly most of the cuts of meat were ok and just enough for us to have 1-2 pieces. However the marinated Kalbi was very good and had generous portions. A great set to share. Gamjatang was packed with flavor and pork and veggies. I loved eating it with rice though at some point after eating a lot of it it started to taste salty (strong strong flavors). Kimchi pancake had a nice crunchy crust - I liked it. Dongcheemi noodles was so refreshing at the end and the noodles had a nice firmness to it that complemented the cold refreshing broth. My favorite was the dongcheemi noodles. All in all - there were A LOT of flavors here and I really liked the food. Afterwards though I realized how salty everything was because my tongue is feeling the remnants of it even a day later. The food is worth a try and I imagine will only get better. Service is really great and very friendly. The one downside is that you bbq your own meat, which I thought was interesting given it's trying to be more of an upscale restaurant. You're on your own after they deliver the meat. Still we really liked our servers - so friendly so engaging. At the end of the meal, they bring you some dessert: a permission covered nutty sweet snack and shikkae - a sweet rice drink that I love. Ambiance is really nice. The restaurant inside is wonderful. Relaxing, large, spacious, good for groups. Parking is easy - lots of parking available in the commercial center. Bathroom is very clean meaning the kitchen is very clean! All in all, it was a decent good restaurant and we enjoyed it. The food, service, and experience was better than I expected after reading some reviews. If you really like Korean BBQ, and love dishes with an explosion of flavor, and you're willing to pay up for it - this is a great place to try.

Overall food was pretty solid quality. We came on a weekday and it was pretty empty, no wait. However I hear on weekends it can get really busy, and reservations are encouraged. We had 4 ppl in our group but didn't do the Large beef combo and ended up with choosing 3 meats a la carte which turned out fine. The only thing we wish the team would've done is give us a heads up about last call as a courtesy to their customers. Everything was going pretty well, until we tried to order more and we were told "we're closed" and the dishes start to get cleared off our table as we are still enjoying our drinks. Other than that, drinks were solid, the place is super clean and spacious, our guy Mike took great care of us, really nice guy! We'll definitely be back for more.

Food is amazing, very authentic and good ingredients. The sauce for everything is delicious, and the kimchi is out of the world. This review is for the servers. Please treat your servers better, because they are tired and not willing to be a good server. A few of the employees are great only because they are amazing people - it is clear you don't treat your staff or pay them well. The service here was terrible. The 비빔냉면 was so overcooked we couldn't eat it. We won't be coming back. Niku feast across the street is better.

Authentic Korean bbq, generous and kind family who owns Onmi is from Korea and they import their peppers from Korea. They get their meats from local farms. The service is amazing, Andrew is so helpful. The ban chan were house made each were so flavorful. They also sell their Kim chee by the pound. It's such a beautiful upscale restaurant with beautiful aesthetic that is not too overstimulating. We want to come back for our birthdays!

This is an excellent new place for Korean BBQ. Grand Opening was around March 2025. Run by a Mother and Son duo. The space is open, clean and modern with plenty of parking in front. Full bar and expansive menu. We opted for the Mother's Day special BBQ. Plentiful and diverse ban chan to start. Excellent purple rice as well as a special rice with dates and butternut squash. The Wagyu A-5 beef was excellent as were the short ribs. An added bonus was our server, Mike, doing the cooking for us. Japchae, mushroom soup, seafood pancakes and chicken wings were added to our menu and all were excellent as well. I give it a 10 out of 10 for every category. We will be back with friends.

We randomly discovered this place after finished shopping at Amazon Fresh, and we've been back twice within the month. All their dishes were really good, and the side dishes are all homemade. Their beef is especially flavorful and tender, even our toddler was able to chew through. We also loved their homemade rice drink at the end. We'll definitely come back to try their BBQ at some point.

Listen to the advice, don't go, it's nothing special, there are two ways to go: barbecue or order dishes. Today I went there for the first time and wanted to try barbecue. There are not many menu options and the price is OK. I chose a $160 set meal for two people, which includes three kinds of meat (short ribs, ribeye, NY strip), kimchi soup (or bean curd soup), steamed egg, bulgogi, salad and side dishes are included. When the meat came, I thought it was just the first wave, but the waiter introduced that this was all. I almost thought I ordered wagyu beef. There were six pieces of meat that were not much bigger than a baby's fist, two pieces of each, no seasoning was added, only salt, soy sauce and bean curd sauce were given for dipping. The quality is the Prime level that Costco can buy. The clerk said that this portion is equivalent to ordering two servings of meat. Their meat costs 50-60 per serving. The kimchi soup tastes too strong and sour, and it's not tasty. The steamed egg is OK, normal level. The bulgogi is only sweet and the meat is a bit sandy, which I don't like. The fish tofu balls in the side dish may be the most delicious thing. The service is OK.

I made reservations for 2 for dinner Saturday night. We were seated right away. We ordered the large meat combo and it didn't disappoint. The food came out quickly and the staff was really attentive. They helped us cook the meat and told us what cuts we ere eating. The meat is high quality and cooked to our liking. The sides were house made and tasted fresh. The meal also included bulgogi , Kim chee stew, egg soufflé, salad and rice. We were stuffed and ended up taking the boneless short ribs home. Another plus, the restaurant has excellent ventilation. We didn't smell like BBQ when we left.

Amazing food and service! We went with the 'Cuisine' menu and ordered nearly everything on the menu lol. Everything came out impeccable! The staff went out of their way to help create a memorable experience for me and my family. Highly recommend for those seeking high quality Korean cuisine!

Yes my first review, but I needed to let those who's from LA know that this place is legit. I haven't had Korean food comparable to the ones in LA and this place hit the spot. We didn't bbq, but we got the naengmyun, Mackerel, and DONGCHIMI GOOKSU. Haven't had a dongchimi gooksu this good since I've had it in a place known for this in the OC (iykyk). The variety of side dishes were also refreshing and the service was also amazing, even catering to our two toddlers. Recommending this place to all who asks for the best Korean restaurant.

Onmi serves elevated Korean dishes with a modern twist. The galbi and seasonal banchan were especially memorable. Great vibe and friendly service, perfect spot for a special night out.

Great experience, food was amazing. We were impressed with the cuts of meat, great service & quality of food. We LOVED the Korean fried chicken & the banchan that came with the meal. Our service was great & the waiter was very knowledgeable.

We had a great experience at Onmi during their soft opening and will definitely be back. We started off with the kbbq set, which included NY strip, filet mignon, boneless short rib, and ribeye cap. The meat was fresh, with wagyu-like marbling, and each cut was high quality. The kids absolutely loved the meat and couldn't get enough, they kept asking for more. Always a plus when the kids eat well. In addition to the kbbq set, we tried the marinated boneless short rib, one of the best I've had at a restaurant... along with pork belly and aged kimchi, which was also really good. They even change out the grill for you so that you can grill the kimchi with the pork belly. We also had the kimchi and potato pancakes, both were delicious, though I personally preferred the kimchi pancake. The dongchimi noodles were refreshing and paired perfectly with the grilled meats. Oh, the kbbq set also came with kimchi jjigae and Korean steamed egg soufflé. The kimchi jjigae is good enough to order by itself and has that deep kimchi flavor. The banchan (side dishes) all tasted great and comes with refills. For drinks we had Terra (Korean beer) and Saero (soju). They have a good selection of Korean beer and soju. Will have to try their cocktails and makgeolli next time! We wrapped up dinner and with dessert and sikhye, both also very good. Beyond the food, the atmosphere and service were top notch. You can tell the they put a lot of thought into the small details, matching the dinner experience with the quality food (keep up the good work) 5/5 we will most definitely be back.

10/10 would recommend Space is very clean, modern and stylish! Definitely an upscale kbbq experience. Very well thought of interior from the marble tables to the top grade grill+vent. While cooking it was never too smokey and I didn't leave smelling like kbbq which I loved. I even was impressed by the quality of the chopsticks! Tons of parking in the plaza as well which is always a plus. Food was excellent the top tier cuts of meat were delicious and so fresh! I would come back even just for the banchan (sides) because they were so authentic it paired perfectly well with the meats. The kimchi alone is by far the best I've had, amazing kick of spice to it. Also tried the pork belly soup which was so flavorful and the dongchimi (cold) noodles that was so light and tasty had the right amount of acidity and sweetness. Truly a chefs kiss meal, will definitely be coming back! Service was great, very kind, helpful and attentive staff!

We were a party of 7 celebrating my (Korean) mom's 85th birthday. Everything was really good but my fave highlights: kimchi pancakes, banchans, teokkboki, miso soup, fried chicken and the marinated short ribs. Really really delish and grandma approved!

With the numerous amount of AYCE kbbq restaurants saturating the corners of Seattle, it is hard for a restaurants to stand out from "the trend" and not be affected by the stigma that Korean food is "cheap" and "affordable". The meat quality is superb, especially the pork belly and dry aged kimchi. The servers cooking and you getting to see them do their thing is quite an experience and makes you look forward to the first bite. I appreciate what Onmi is doing with their dishes because they not only push bringing authentic Korean flavors into their cuisine, but also educating people who are unfamiliar with Korean food. The servers are very well trained when it comes to what is being presented to their guests, especially the side dishes. Most restaurants will just throw the sides onto the table and leave it at that, but I really appreciate how the servers here explain what each dish is. Some of these dishes I have never seen before and being able to know exactly what I am eating is a nice treat, especially the presentation. I also appreciate the variety of different sides they provide and from what I hear, the servers tell me that the sides change everyday depending on what the kitchen decides to provide. I can't imagine the amount of work and care is put into making these sides and especially the quality of the ingredients. As with any restaurant, you can't make every guest happy, but what I respect about Onmi is how they always ask for honest feedback regarding the food, especially if its a new dish they are trying. It is clear to me that they want to listen to feedback and want to make sure that the food being presented to the guests is above satisfactory and is consistent in taste. So my advice is, if the server is asking for honest feedback, be honest and tell them if you really didn't like something or if you really enjoyed the dish so that they are aware whether or not guests are satisfied with their meals. Yes, Onmi is expensive and yes, its KBBQ, but you honestly get what you paid for. Don't let the AYCE stigma steer you away, try it and then make a judgement for yourself. The quality, the taste, the craft is all there and honestly the whole dining experience with the beautiful interior and well ventilated dining space is something that is very inviting and makes you want to come back and enjoy more dinners with friends and family.

TLDR: Great food, drinks and service. Must try! Great place to visit if you are a fan of Korean food. My wife and I ordered the 2-person package and the amount of food we received was more than enough. The quality of the meat was excellent, which combined with the high-quality grill at the table allows you to easily cook to your liking. The side dishes and soup that come with your order are so good, I would easily enjoy just eating them for a meal. If you are having Korean food you definitely have to enjoy it with a little something to drink! We ordered the Takju makgeoli which has a great unique taste that complimented our meal perfectly. Definitely recommend trying it! The staff was very friendly and attentive, regularly checking with us to ensure we had a great experience. Overall will definitely be coming back to try other items on the menu!

Just had lunch there and the service was wonderful. I am not familiar with Korean cuisine, but was anxious to try it. The server was most helpful in helping me choose my dish. It was delicious! Lovely interior. I will definitely go back again. Judy G.

Ambiance is very nice, new and fresh. Staff was very friendly and had knowledge of all the items on the menu. Food was even better. I was a little intimidated as some items were written the Korean language. So l had to ask lots of questions. I had a cold soup with noodles and a spicy sauce with radish and other vegetables. I don't even like radish but it was fabulous. My husband had a fish with potato in a broth. He didn't share the fish but l snagged a potato and was really good and the broth even better.More food than two people could eat so we had lots of leftovers. Will be hard to go back as long as will not which new dish to try but there will be a next time and soon.

The vibe here is super chill and lively, and the staff made you feel right at home all night. I tried the onmi's large package and wow--the meat was incredibly fresh and juicy. There were plenty of cuts to choose from, and every piece was bursting with flavor. The marinades were on point, and the sides really nailed that authentic Korean taste. If you're up for a fun spot with amazing eats, this place is definitely worth checking out--I'm definitely going back to try other dishes.

This a new restaurant that my daughter found on Insta. Looking online it looked like there was a cuisine and a bbq option. We made a reservation and when I changed the time, I accidentally changed from bbq to cuisine. When I showed up, they accommodated us and allowed us to us to sit in the bbq area. The restaurant has two sections with the bbq area having a grill and vent when the cuisine area has regular tables. We ordered the large package for $260 that feeds 3-4 people. It was a bit pricy but we went for it. Since they have been open for 2 weeks and we came in a Friday night, the service was a bit slow. The servers were nice and try to do what they can. The food was amazing. The meat quality was on par with the price and we really enjoyed our meal. I ate less that I typically would but instead of quantity it was more about quality. The banchans were excellent and we really enjoyed the flavors. They even gave us dessert to end the meal. We will come back and try the cuisine menu next time. I highly recommend.

This new restaurant in Seattle is a must go to! Our group purchased a set and the meat was very high quality and delicious. I was a little skeptical at first of the portion sizes since I am used to all you can eat but I left feeling full and satisfied. The staff was very friendly, since they are new they were trying to keep up with everything some things were forgotten and given last minute but they were friendly! We are definitely coming here again!
