Mirak Korean BBQ Restaurant

The price is affordable, and the staff is very helpful and friendly. We ordered a seafood pancake, but it was kinda burnt, so we asked if they can remake the pancake for us and they did. We are really appreciated the care that they gave to the customers.🫰🏻

They are affordable and their food taste good! But they need to improve their service. Their servers either are just not there when you need them or they don't understand what you're saying and you don't understand if they understood what you're asking.

This is exactly how Korean BBQ should be! After a terrible experience at a 'high-end' spot nearby, coming here was a breath of fresh air. The food quality is incredible—the meats are well-marinated and way better than the overpriced corporate places. The best part, though, is the service. The staff is attentive, welcoming, and they actually took the time to help us cook our food to perfection. You can tell they actually care about their customers regardless of who you are. No rushed timers or forgotten orders here—just great vibes and even better food. If you’re looking for authentic K-BBQ and top-tier service, support this local business instead. We will definitely be back!

First time coming here with the family. We had a large party and they were able to accommodate. The seating was very roomy for all of us. We ordered kalbi, brisket, pork belly and beef bulgogi. All was delicious. The banchans were so good, def loved the cucumber kimchi. The waitress we had so funny and sweet! She made sure we ordered the best dishes. Initially I asked for the marinades chicken and she was like no, it will take too long to cook, I’ll get you the brisket instead haha. It was a really good choice too! Highly recommended! We will definitely be back!

Mirak KBBQ was my side quest for the day. Federal Way has several KBBQ spots, and Mirak is definitely worth trying for all you can eat. What stood out most was the meat quality. Unlike other places that bring out frozen meat, they served brisket and pork belly either thawed or freshly cut, which tasted noticeably better. The kalbi had great flavor that really penetrated the meat. They don’t offer a huge variety of meats, but it's a case of quality over quantity. The banchan (side dishes) were all solid. Service was great, especially considering how busy it was and from what I saw, all the servers were kind Korean aunties you'd want in your life. Give this place a try!

This place is the best all you can eat kbbq place in town. Our server is very friendly and offered to help us cut the pork belly. The meat quality is visibly much better than other more expensive places. Most importantly, you cannot beat the price! I would definitely come back and bring my friends here again.

Been here so many times and the all you can eat is so good! Our favorites is the spicy pork and beef kalbi. But the best feature by far is how consistently great the service is, every single person working there is super kind and positive. Such good vibes every time keeps us coming back!

Great food and hostess very friendly and gave us lots of recommendations on the order to eat the meat, dipping sauces, and how to eat "Korean style". Price was very reasonable and the meat was delicious. Also lots of different yummy Korean side dishes too. Would definitely come again!

Food was really good, meats were good quality. The service felt rushed, it was really busy so I understand. But the restaurant itself has an interesting feeling, the music is at a good volume, but there are no vents, the entire restaurant is in a constant haze of smoke.

Went here to enjoy some KBBQ AYCE and we had just that! It was amaaaazingly good. Did not disappoint. We had everything including shrimp and soju and it was so yummy. The service was short and rude just what we expected lol good people who helped us along the way. And the ambience was good- pretty clean and well managed! Will go again.

This is by far my new favorite KBBQ place in the area. The prices are reasonable and the portions are huge. The owners handmake all of the banchan, kimchi, and sauces. You have to ask for the ssamjang, it's the best. Service was 10/10, the servers were friendly and they checked in on us often. My favorite cut from the AYCE selection was definitely the brisket; cooks the fastest and has the right amount of fat. I also enjoyed the LA Kalbi! I wasn't a huge fan of the spicy marinated bulgogi, it was too heavy for AYCE. One qualm was that it was super cold. I expected it to be a little warmer because of the grills, but even with our grill on, I was freezing the whole time. But I would definitely come back for kbbq with friends :)

Food quality: about average for KBBQ. Service: very good! Very diligent and attentive. Some of best KBBQ service I've ever had. Atmosphere: very causal Overall experience: good Notes: they were very accommodating. The prices for non AYCE KBBQ seemed higher than other places I typically go to. I would give their service 4.5 stars alone if I could.

Kbbq from Mirak is very affordable if you're on a budget at $31 per person for AYCE. They carry more marinated meats than non-marinated. I prefer non-marinated, so I'm just limited to the brisket and pork belly. The meat quality is okay, nothing special. Their banchans are fantastic. I love the variety they provide and they always taste super fresh. The potato salad and cucumber kimchi are my favorites! Service here is impeccable. Everyone is extremely friendly and so eager to please. I've never had a negative experience.

Early dinner on Monday night. This place was suggested by a friend for a get together. Lots of parking Fair to good service. They had only 2 ladies working the floor. One was more pleasant than the other. We had to call them over to ask for refills . We did BBQ grill AYCE. My fave was the shrimp, Beef brisket Prime, and the marinated pork My fave banchan was the potato salad, cucumber Kimchee and tofu strips. It came with fresh salad as well. The Kimchee did not have a crunch to it. It got busy around 7pm. Restaurant had multiple tables and lots of room. Great for big parties of 8 or more. Bathroom clean. Price is right! Would recommend!

I decided to go to somewhere different and decided to go to Mirak for lunch. I was initially surprised by the amount of people sitting there having Korean bbq for lunch, but I should know I am not the only one, who's off during the day. Additionally, the waitress was so nice. She tended to me right away, and another waitress checked back with me to see if I'd need anything else for my meals. The restaurant is simply simple with the front door wide open at the time I came to dine-in because I believe the restaurant was trying to get rid of the bbq smell. Because it was only me, there was no way I'd order Korean bbq. I settled for spicy pork bugolgi (quite sweet and spicy) and seafood soft tofu soup. My belly was full & happy by end of the meal.

I mean it's KBBQ, so should always be good...ordered the small combo with is 2 types of marinated meat, pork belly, thinly sliced beef, and thick cut steak. I was underwhelmed by the plain meat and even with the dipping sauces found it to just underwhelm. There were 8 different sides but no one came to refill our water until we asked a second time, no refill on sides, etc. someone did come to cook the food for us probably because I sucked (haha). I also found a staple in one of the pieces of meat. Next time I would order just the marinated beef and pork.

It's the best happy place ! Ajima is awesome , she is very nice and welcoming . If you are in Federal Way, this is a must go to KKBQ place !! Thank you !!

One of the better kbbq spots in fed imo! Great quality meats that do not come out frozen! Delicious side dishes as well. Good value, service was good too (call button!).

Mirak KBBQ was my side quest for the day. Federal Way has several KBBQ spots, and Mirak is definitely worth trying for all you can eat. What stood out most was the meat quality. Unlike other places that bring out frozen meat, they served brisket and pork belly either thawed or freshly cut, which tasted noticeably better. The kalbi had great flavor that really penetrated the meat. They don't offer a huge variety of meats, but it's a case of quality over quantity. The banchan (side dishes) were all solid. Service was great, especially considering how busy it was and from what I saw, all the servers were kind Korean aunties you'd want in your life. Give this place a try!

Decided to get this highly rated Korean restaurant a try. Did not get the AYCE BBQ because not everyone in my party wanted BBQ...that's probably where we went wrong. Ordered the Mirak meal for two and a la carte Kalbi. The Kalbi was good, nicely marinated and probably the best thing we ordered. They have a decent variety of banchan items. Never been a fan of mackerel...just too fishy for my taste. Fried mandoo tasted like they were store bought, Bulgogi was a disappointment - dry and not marinated well at all. The spicy beef tofu stew was pretty good. Glad I tried this place, but there are so many other restaurants in the area that I don't need to come back here for a while. Food was average, service was slow, and ambiance was an average run of the mill KBBQ establishment.

Hands down the best Korean BBQ experience I've had! Been here twice with my family but the third time with my boyfriend made me want to leave my very first review... ever! The food was absolutely incredible! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. But what made the visit even more special was the warm and welcoming atmosphere. It was like visiting a family-owned gem where everyone genuinely cares about your experience. The service (shoutout to Ella!!) was outstanding friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We even got to meet the owner, who was so kind and generous. The space itself is cozy and comfortable, and the music playlist? Immaculate vibes all around. They also own another spot nearby called Moon's Kitchen, if you're ever in the mood for amazing Korean comfort food! This place has officially become my go-to Korean BBQ spot.. honestly, the only one I'll be going to from now on :3

I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, my experience left a lot to be desired. The service was incredibly slow--we waited far too long just to order more side dishes and appetizers, and things didn't improve from there. Our server was noticeably rude from the start, with an attitude that made us feel like we were inconveniencing her just by being there. Food was okay but became distasteful due to the ambiance. What really sealed the deal for me was when she actually got upset that I didn't tip based on the total bill. I always believe in tipping fairly for good service, but when someone is dismissive and short with you all night, it's hard to justify a generous tip. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a little courtesy when dining out. Sadly, I won't be returning.

So, my son's been bound and determined for years to introduce me to the Korean BBQ experience he enjoyed at such places in L.A. Problem is there aren't any such places 'round where we reside. Besides, I've cooked my own Korea BBQ dishes on my charcoal kettle grill. Isn't that the same thing? Well, today I learned, it's not. He found Mirak on Yelp and it looked great to both of us based on reviews and other factors. We had no idea how great an eating experience it would be. It's an unassuming place when you walk in. All the tables were empty since it was not long after the time the place opens for business. We chose the table to sit at and our server brought us a menu along with two empty bowls and two sets of chopsticks. She also brought a set of shears for slicing the long strips of cooked meat into more bite-sized portions, undoubtedly for smaller-sized mouths than ours. We were there for the AYCE Lunch deal which pretty much limits your choices. Two types of meat per table (we think that includes refilling plates with raw meat instead of being able to choose 1 or 2 other types of meat). There's a $5 charge for leftover meat and you gotta finish eating within 90 minutes. So, kind of restrictive, huh? The reality was, with the large portions of the two plates of meats delivered to our table and all the Banchan (side dishes)--which are also refilled AND the bowl of white rice--also refillable--well, all we could eat quickly turned out that we ate all we were ABLE to eat. In other words, we were full--and it didn't even take a full hour. We chose beef brisket and beef bulgogi. The USDA Prime brisket was unrecognizable from what I've bought and cooked with for years. It was sliced thin like pork belly and it's look and texture were unlike the beef brisket I love. Not sure what cut of meat the beef bulgogi was made because the menu didn't specify and the marinade hit its true identity. But I tell you, it was uniquely great grabbing meat with the provided tongs and draping them across the hot gas grill on the table. You quickly learn how to long to leave it in place to give it a nice sear before flipping it over to cook the other side. Now when I tasted the beef, I told my son it was under seasoned, because it was. "Dad," he says to me," that's what the dipping sauce is for. Oh yeah, the server had placed a small plastic cup of dark sauce in front of each of us. I dipped the meat into the sauce, shoveled the meat into my mouth, and tasted true gastronomic heaven. The sauce, which was a combo of soy sauce, chopped jalapeño, sugar(?), and possibly some type of vinegar somehow caused the meat to explode with flavor in the mouth. I would've been stunned but with only 90 minutes to finish eating, I didn't have the time. The beef bulgogi was similarly joyful to eat and if anything, even more tender than the brisket--which was exceedingly tender. The Banchan selection of eight small side dishes were an amazing potato salad with chopped broccoli, the best potato pancake I've ever had, wondrously delicious fishcakes that looked like sliced water chestnuts to me, kimchi cabbage, sprouts and small cucumbers and other stuff I have no idea what they were. Just call it all exceedingly delicious and we're good. Our server also brought out a large bowl of mixed green salad. It would've been just OK, but the soy sauce-based dressing made it truly delicious. More customers walked in as we ate and we saw how popular this place is with locals who know Korean BBQ. This place has been here since 1982 for a reason. Our server did a great job of checking back with us. She had a friendly personality and was genuinely appreciative of our compliments on the food. Yes indeed my son and I plan a return visit. We just gotta try the pork belly and Pork Kalbi. And if we go during dinner service, the menu opens up, offering even more yumful choices.

Mirak has some of the best brisket I've had because it's fattier than normal. Brisket is a staple of kbbq, especially AYCE but their brisket might actually be closer to beef belly. Two small downsides were service falling off and immediate 90 minute cutoff. The service started off extremely strong. Super attentive, constantly checking in on us, and then nearing the end it felt cut off abruptly. No more visits to see if we wanted more meat, no grill change until much later, etc. I still thought the service was exceptional as a whole, but there was this expectation set from the start that kind of died. Then we were asked if we wanted more meat, they gave us some time, but returned and said no more because it's been 90 minutes. Wasn't sure if it's serious or a joke, but we were pretty full and took it as a sign anyways. No reason to try and argue.

I really wanted to like this place--the food was spot on. The portions were generous, the flavors were solid, and the side dishes (banchan) were great. Unfortunately, the service completely ruined the experience. From the moment we arrived, the two younger female servers were rude and dismissive. It honestly felt like we were being treated differently--maybe because we weren't Korean, or maybe because we're younger. Either way, it was uncomfortable and unprofessional. The only person who showed us any real hospitality was the older halmeoni (grandma), who was very kind and respectful. When we ordered soup combos that came with egg soufflé, one of the servers told us, "You should just order individual items--it's too much food." That's not something you tell a customer. What if we wanted to take leftovers home? While we were cooking our meat (as is standard at Korean BBQ), the server repeatedly rushed us, telling us to put more meat on the grill--even taking the tongs from us and doing it herself. We wanted to take our time, cook at our own pace, and enjoy the meal without overcooking the meat. It felt invasive and disrespectful of our dining experience. Service was also very slow. When we asked for refills on the banchan or sauces, it took quite a while for anyone to come back. And finally, the worst part: when we were checking out, we planned to tip in cash, so we hit "skip" on the Clover kiosk. Instead of giving us space like most restaurants do, the server held onto the kiosk, stared at us, and then said, "No tip?? Pressing skip means no tip." That comment was extremely rude and unnecessary--and made us change our minds about tipping altogether. Yes, it's Korean BBQ and we're cooking our own food--but service still matters. And this service was not only slow, it was actively uncomfortable and rude. I hope the owner takes a serious look at the behavior of the servers, because the way we were treated was disappointing. We won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place. There are plenty of great Korean BBQ spots in the area--this isn't one of them.

This is the best KBBQ I've ever had. I cannot recommend this place enough. All their meats were high quality, their sides were all delicious, and the service was phenomenal. They were highly attentive to switching out our grills and were quick with bringing out more meats.

My daughter took me to this place on 3/20/20. We were wanting some Korean food and her friend had suggested to her that we try this place. Boy! It did not disappoint. My favorite is the Kalbi short ribs with all the beautiful side dishes. My daughter opted for the Kimchi hot pot or soup. The food was delicious and tasty! Service was awesome. We would definitely return again. Highly recommended! Tip: you can go across to Melody Boba for dessert. That's what we did! LOL!

Mirak Korean BBQ was recommended by a Korean Friend and long-time resident of the area. We dined here on a weekend evening, between 6 and 7 pm. When we arrived, almost all the tables were occupied, but we still managed to be seated immediately. The hosts were spirited and helpful. We were pretty hungry and opted to go for the all-you-can eat BBQ. For dinner, this amounted to $29.99/person (if anyone in your party is ages 4-7 [not a notably generous age group], then the all-you-can-eat price is $14.99). For anyone over 7, it's $29.99. The grill placed on our table didn't have any notable cleaning agent smell (this hasn't been the case at other Korean BBQ Restaurants). We initially ordered beef brisket and pork belly. Later, we asked for spicy pork and short ribs. The pork belly had no seasoning, which was a let-down, but everything else was fine. The side dishes weren't that varied (there were maybe 6: kimchi, tofu, bean sprouts, maionese salad, and one other). But overall, everything was good, and the service was solid, too. We'd probably come back if in the area, but that decision would definitely not be made lightly. For a party of four, our bill was close to $150 after a respectable tip (this was with no drinks), so Mirak Korean BBQ may be a bit outside our budget the next time.

This is my favorite Korean bbq in Federal Way. The prices for AYCE are lower than that of other Kbbq AYCE places nearby and the quality is good for how much you are paying. The downside is that each order did come with a lot of meat, especially the brisket, so you may order fewer rounds.

Tried this place after a recommendation of a family member. It is what you would expect from a good KBBQ spot. Their sauce for the meat is delicious. So as their potato salad. Reason why it's a 4 star? The lady who served us sort of gave me an attitude when I asked for more of the sauce. I felt like I got called out unnecessarily. Would've been 5 stars easily.

One of the better Korean bbq experiences I've had. None of our meats were frozen, side dishes were excellent, and service was great. For $30, this is our new favorite Korean bbq spot in Federal Way! Love how there's a call button at the table too! We didn't have to use it much though because our servers checked up on us very often.

My first time here. Came with a group of 8 for a work lunch on Sunday, which is dinner price for All You Can Eat all day. Rules for the AYCE: everyone at the table must get it, 90 minute limit, 2 meats at a time, extra charge for leftover. We got about 8 banchans, and our choice of white or mixed rice (lots of beans). There are about 10 different meat choices, including kalbi, beef brisket, spicy pork, pork belly. Kalbi was definitely my favorite, spicy pork had a kick to it (which I liked). Service is better than a typical kbbq place, we were able to get rounds of meat fairly quickly, and got our grill changed once.

Hands down my new favorite AYCE KBBQ spot in Federal Way! Growing up in the area, I've typically chosen between two KBBQ spots that were located relatively close to each other. Since I was back in town visiting, I thought I'd try out a new spot! With Yelp to the rescue, my husband, my best friend and I settled on Mirak Korean BBQ. When we walked in at around 3PM on a Sunday only about 6 tables were occupied so we were able to get seated immediately. Note: since it was a weekend, it was dinner pricing all day. Service was quick and efficient and the servers were kind. I think only two or 3 people were covering the floor as the restaurant filled up and it was amazing to see how they zoomed to each table taking and dropping off orders. On to the food - I thought the portions of meat were a good size!! Quality of meat was also great. I'm still thinking about the brisket.. *drool*. On top of that, you get 8 types of sides, plus salad and rice. Lastly, the ambiance was a lot cozier than most KBBQ spots I've been to. I actually really liked it! I will definitely be back next time I'm in town and want an AYCE KBBQ fix!

I know Federal Way is known for Korean food, especially KBBQ, but recently a lot of places in the area have not the best reviews. Saw Mirak has higher ratings and decided to try it here. Dinner pricing is slightly cheaper than other places around, probably since the meats for their AYCE is relatively limited. But it has all the meats I would want: brisket, bulgogi, and kalbi! The place is relatively smaller than larger establishments but it made it feel more homey. Came in on a Sunday afternoon, around 3, and there were a few tables filled but also lots open. Our party of 3 were seated immediately, which was nice. The service was really good and really fast. Our orders were put in at a timely manner and meat came out quickly too. They were good about coming by and asking if we need anything else pretty frequently. We loved the meats, the sides, and just everything! Definitely would recommend coming here is you're looking for All You Can Eat in Federal Way!

Their ayce kbbq is great quality and great price! I will say though that they do not have as many options as other kbbq places may offer; however, they have all my go-to kbbq selections like beef brisket and LA galbi! I also love their banchans! Very delicious! The people who work here are also very efficient and friendly! They check up on the table frequently and change grills, refill tea and banchans as necessary! Wishing only best for Mirak because they deserve it!

I like this place a lot. The food here is good. We got the typical meat. Galbi, pork belly and some bulgogi. The lady serviced us was amazing. So kind and nice and happy. They also have a big seating space if you have kids or toddlers with you. I'm not in federal way often but I would come back here when I go do go back to visit.

Craving Korean bbq, we headed to Federal Way in search of a restaurant open until at least 10p that offered beef intestines. We found ourselves at Mirak Korean BBQ Restaurant around 8:30p on a Friday night. The homey Korean restaurant was only slightly busy and we were immediately greeted and seated. For a party of 4, we opted to order from the la carte menu since several of us wanted options not on the AYCE menu. We ordered the Special Combination, beef intestines, seafood pancake, and soft tofu seafood soup. While we waited for the food to be prepared, the staff brought out 4 bowls of white rice, an assortment of banchan, salad, and brisket sauce. Of the eight banchan served, I absolutely loved the garlic chives kimchi, fish cakes, and cucumber kimchi. The meats were excellent. The seafood pancake was crispy and packed with seafood. The soft tofu soup was hearty and delicious. If I'm ever in the area, I would definitely come back for the banchan and seafood pancake.

My coworker put me on to this place. We came on a Saturday so we had to pay the dinner price for AYCE kbbq. Well worth it. The cuts of meat are thick and they give you plenty each round. The quality of the meat is 5 stars. I like that each table has a button you can push for a waiter to come attend to your table. This is may just be my new go to kbbq spot.

We came here on a Thursday evening and were seated immediately for a party of three. It is located in Federal Way and has ample parking. The AYCE KBBQ is $21.99 for lunch (12pm-4pm) and $29.99 for dinner (4pm-10pm). We started off with a set of eight sides of banchan which were all delicious. You can order only up to two meats at a time so we wanted to try as much of their offerings as we could. Out of the meats that we ordered my favorites were the spicy pork bulgogi, the shrimp, and the LA kalbi. I wasn't a fan of the pork belly as I felt there was more fat than meat, and the beef brisket had a little more fat than I would've liked but was still decent. One thing is they don't have a lot of sauces (they only have a single dipping sauce) and other sauces are by request only, such as sesame oil or spicy sauce. The service was great though: the food was brought out quick, the grill was changed swiftly, and the servers were even cracking jokes with us. This isn't LA KBBQ but it's pretty good.

It's clean, and staff are super nice. The prices are great. KBBQ is delicious here--one of my favorite KBBQ places

My friends and I heard about Mirak from a friend who lived in the area, and knowing about Federal Way's reputation for having some of the best Korean food in Seattle, I was definitely excited to try this spot! Everything about this restaurant was just so home-y. From the super sweet Korean women running around to the endless banchan that was served, this place just felt so warm and comforting! The food itself was spectacular - my friends and I did AYCE KBBQ, which included some really good cuts of meat (my personal favorites being the LA Kalbi and Beef Bulgogi). The meats themselves were marinated so well - there was a slight sweetness to them that really elevated the flavor for me! The banchan was also great - my friends and I were huge fans of the fish cakes and potato salad. We really ate those plates up. For the lower cost of about $38 per person compared to other KBBQ spots, I think that Mirak is a great place to get some high quality Korean food!

One of my new favorite Korean barbecue spots! We were able to get seated right away. Literally all of the banchan was amazing. My favorites were the fish cake and the potatoes. But everything tasted so good. The service was incredible. Everyone that helped was super nice and helpful it was probably one of the best services I've had at a Korean barbecue restaurant. Food was great. In addition to the banchan, they literally had the best ssamjang and brisket I've ever had. Everything was fairly priced as well. Definitely coming back.

Best Service I love omma the best. Quality of the food is also the best. It is also affordable. My top Bbq

We did the all you can eat option. The staff were all incredibly nice and checked in with us multiple times. We also loved the sides that were provided! They were all delicious!

Great service and amazing food! Visiting from Hawaii and was highly recommended. 10 out of 10. Definitely recommend and will come back again!!!

Horrible customer service. I've been a couple times and there are two groups of older women rotating. One group is super friendly and the other group is beyond horrid. We'd called multiple times before they respond, they'd be extra rude when we ask basic questions and sometimes, we'd get lectured back. This time, I just couldn't stand it anymore and it was my last straw because we got a whole plate of stinky meat and shrimp that has gone visibly bad. We just decided to leave after one round. We still tipped but I don't think we'll be back again.

Best service I've ever received at a kbbq restaurant! Everyone was so attentive and timely. The sides were so good too!

So good! Wow. Smelled like heaven when the meat was bqqing! I would definetly get the beef and chicken! The sides are to die for! Love the bean sprouts and cucmber, potato, well... everything! Check it out! Service is attentive and nice. Will not leave you disappointed !

Great service, fun people, love this place! Amazing food! Staff is always welcoming and fun

The food is delicious and the bonchon has a lot of variety. But don't ever try to reserve a table there because they are often too busy to write it down and reserve a table for you because it's always first come first serve. I tried to book a table and called multiple times to confirm, but they did not save the table space for us and let a party that came before us have it. Don't come here on a Friday night.

I've passed this place a couple times and it has been on bbq places to try list for a while. A lot of the reviews were pretty decent so wanted to give it a shot. The plaza has easy parking and the decor is inviting enough without extra fluff. We decided to get the dinner ayce. I feel like with ayce it's a gamble because we know usually it's not the highest quality meat but you're getting value. Unfortunately, the marinade flavors were a bit overpowering. Also because maybe there's too much extra sweetener it left a bit of an aftertaste. The pork belly was thin strips and got real crispy , out of all the beef cuts brisket has the best balance of texture to flavor. Kalbi was too tough hard to chew , and the bulgogi marinade was too overpowering sweet from the marinade and a bit tough. The sides were pretty good with also salad. The shrimp we had last was the best protein of the night which is a bit disappointing for a k bbq place. On top of that, the waitress was very curt in her tone and inpatient when getting us half of the sides we felt like we couldn't ask for sides from the other side of the table. This place does scratch the itch, and a relative value for what you get.

All-You-Can-Eat Korean BBQ for a fine price of $21.99 during lunch time and $29.99 for dinner. Lunch offers the meat selection of: - Soy Marinated Beef Bulgogi - Soy Marinated Chicken Bulgogi - Spicy Marinated Pork Bulgogi - Soy Marinated Boneless Pork Kalbi - USDA Prime Beef Brisket - Pork Belly Dinner AYCE encompasses all of the above in addition to: - Soy Marinated LA Kalbi - Shrimps Up to two types of meat can be chosen at a time. My favorite was the Soy Marinated LA Kalbi followed by the Soy Marinated Boneless Pork Kalbi. Rice and banchans are included, and had new choices like kimchi tofu. $5 fees will be charged for leftovers. Service was somewhat difficult to get despite pressing the call button several times. At least there was no rush or time limit to our stay. The restaurant has plenty of parking outside.

Former Southern California native, craving Korean food. Nothing compares to K-town but Mirak was pretty darn good. Banchan was tasty and service kept it coming. Ordered the all you can eat for 4 of us. Two people in our party were newbies but enjoyed the chicken and kalbi. Friend enjoyed the shrimp. I loved the cucumber kimchi and kalbi. It was a good experience.

"No. Shrimp is for dessert." That is what our server told us when we asked for it during the first round of AYCE KBBQ. We thought she was joking but she was dead serious. So bizarre to be denied especially when we were paying for the dinner option. Came here to have AYCE KBBQ to celebrate a special occasion. Since our shrimp request was denied we asked for bulgogi and brisket we got bulgogi and bacon. When we asked for soybean paste soup they made it extra spicy; nobody could eat it. It took forever for a grill change too. We had such a great experience the last time we visited which is why returned but because of the recent rotten service we got I don't wanna come back. Gen Korean BBQ is supposed to open at Southcenter next year. Hopefully that AYCE restaurant will be waaaay better than Mirak.

Meat quality is what u paying for as for Service it def could've been better! Ordered 2 rounds in 45 min and it was like they was purposely avoiding our table SMH thin lady with short bob hair cut is so rude! not friendly at all def won't be coming back specifically because of her! -0 stars

I went for lunch, total of six adults. $21 all you can eat lunch deal. Pork belly (personal fav), bulgogi, chicken, pork kalbi Sides: mashed potatoes with mixed veggies, kimchee cucumber, kimchee, bean sprouts, fried veggie fritter type thing, daikon, sauces for dipping meat, cut and flavored lettuce. Everything was tasty, nice and clean restauraunt. Service was really slow - we didn't get rice bowls until the food was already cooked and we were looking around to ask someone if it was even coming....only one person seemed to be working the floor. Sides were delicious - fav being the kimchee cucumber, mashed potatoes and bean sprouts. The mashed potatoes were sweet, but not sweet potatoes. Personally I would've preferred whole lettuce so I could wrap my meat in it. There was no gochujang. This place is good value for your money especially if you like meat! And it is conveniently located right across from a boba house. I'll probably look around and try some other Korean BBQ spots cos Seattle has plenty.

Came in an hour before closing for a party of 4 people. We sat first and got started because our two friends were running late - ended up being 30 minutes late lol. We ordered the brisket and pork belly first and ate a round and ordered a second and last order of brisket because they stop serving brisket near closing time since they said they had to slice it still. We had super attentive service (probably because they wanted us to eat fast and get out lol) and the waitress was super friendly and joked around with us. Overall, all the meats we tried were delicious and marinated perfectly. The prices are also lower than competing kbbq places in the area. I have to come back again earlier than an hour before closing so I can enjoy the kbbq and really assess my experience.
