Son Of A Butcher

"Aside from Bellwether BBQ, Son Of A Butcher in Eastlake is one of the only great places for Korean BBQ in Seattle proper. Here, you can slap a giant bone-in short rib on the grill while J. Cole blasts and soju pours, all without leaving city limits. The best way to go is to order a couple of meats a la carte—like beef bulgogi and hickory smoked pork belly—and lean into their sides. We’re fans of the delicate tobiko-topped egg souffle, kimchi pancake with crispy edges, and torched cheese corn that we may have contemplated stuffing into our bags for later. " - kayla sager riley

"The first thing you should know about Son Of A Butcher is that their online waitlist system is a total sh*tshow. It’ll ask you to come to the restaurant in an hour and then have your table become available (and then given away) in five minutes. But we can’t help but love this Korean BBQ spot anyways. They make great cocktails and have a ton of different meats that you can choose to grill, like marinated beef bulgogi or an entire ribeye. However, some of the best things here don’t involve red meat at all - we’re fans of the steamed egg with tobiko, spicy chicken with rice cakes and sweet potato, and the comforting tofu soup." - aimee rizzo
