The Grill King All You Can Eat Korean BBQ

The Grill King is perfect. We chose the standard AYCE option, which had everything we needed and more. Worth every penny. I love how thinly the meats were sliced and how every cut was fresh and clean. And the portion sizes made me so happy. So happy. Also, the sides and the sauces were beyond delicious. Frankly, the sauce options alone revealed to me that this restaurant really cares about Korean food. The service was also top-notch. Super polite and super attentive. We had our grill changed multiple times, and our sides were restocked as soon as they were emptied. Also: FREE RICE REFILLS. Overall, this is the BEST AYCE KBBQ I've ever been to, and I'm looking forward to more belly-filling nights at the Grill King. Keep up the good work!

This review will be more food quality based. The service however is wonderful. Very attentive and friendly. Meat quality is really low, cheaper quality of meats for sure. Banchan are also subpar. Open late so that’s a pro.

Good Enough for a Chill Night Out The dining experience here was “good enough.” For two people, our bill came out to $75 — that includes a mandatory 18% tip added before we even sat down. We went with the standard dinner selection: unseasoned pork belly, beef brisket, marinated beef, and spicy pork. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Can’t really complain — you're cooking frozen, raw meat at your table, so expectations should be realistic. What really stood out was the service. There was just one Korean gentleman running the floor, and he was on point the entire time. Super attentive and friendly — definitely made the experience better. All in all, it’s a solid spot. If you’re craving Korean BBQ without too many frills, grab a seat — your money’s not wasted here. Thanks!

My husband and I love coming here. The staff is super kind and generous with servings. The all you can eat deal is a good deal and if you add the $6 veggie bowl, it makes you STUFFED! It's enough veggies for 2+ people. It's about $100 for both of us with waters, veggie bowl and a generous tip.

I LOVE it here so much, I go all the time and bring all my friends as my favorite KBBQ place in the city - fr thinking of having my birthday here because of how much I enjoy it. The food is delicious, the sauces are yummy, a good assortment of refillable sides. The ayce is great, the tiered cost menu is also awesome and has A LOT of delicious food - we frequently get the medium tier. They are so kind, last time we were there they noticed how much we enjoyed the kimchi and cucumber salad & brought us big bowls of them. Every time we have been they're busy, there's def been times that i've had to flag someone down or go to the counter to ask for extras on things, but tbh that's no trouble at all to me and pretty standard practice outside of the US, I much prefer having to go flag someone down vs being pestered while trying to eat. The place has a mom and pop vibe, which means you know it's gonna be good, and it SOOO is. The staff are all super friendly, there is an 18% charge but they're VERY transparent about it and what it goes towards and that it exists - & the cost is really reasonable for the quality of food & how much food you get. 10/10 every time 😋

We went there to celebrate graduation around 9:30. We ordered combo for three, the portion was a lot! Everything was delicious. The service was great and the owner gave us an extra beef and sides for free.

We thought the service and quality was like review but seem like overall bad and expensive. Look at the receipt and how they explain charge 18% tip automatically with anything I asked they didn’t have. I asked if they have more banchan, salad , even lettuce they said charge each bowl $3 more. The service lady look like she doesn’t understand what we asking for. We went on Saturday night dinner 5pm and only 2 tables. I have never seen anything state in the receipt explained 18% charge and ayce $45 with no salad . Never come back!

absolutely adore this place! the atmosphere is chill, the staff are amazing and work so hard to make sure everyone in the restaurant is attended too. the sides are awesome, and you get such HUGE portions!!! this is my favorite KBBQ place in the whole city, and one of the places I always take friends who are visiting 😁

This is definitely a solid low-budget AYCE KBBQ option. The meat quality is a bit lower than some of the mid-tier spots, but the service is attentive and the staff keeps things moving smoothly. The grills work fine, though they're prone to grease fires (part of the charm, I guess). There's no real ambiance, but when you're here for a casual, budget KBBQ, that's not a dealbreaker. Overall, I'd give it a 7/10. It does the job if you're looking for KBBQ on a budget, but I do wish they would bring back the chicken and soup options to round out the menu.

Food: 4/5 Service: 3/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Overall: 3.5/5 Overall, the experience was decent. The food was alright. Same thing with the service, but I do hope the staff often replace the grills, as when I was about to be done eating, I asked for the check. The staff asked me if I would like a change of grill, which is pretty late, and I find it odd that they don't change the grill often. Also, I was aware that they charged 18% gratuity. But then, when I was watching the staff to make sure I was not being charged extra besides the cost, tax, and gratuity. Since they looked behind their shoulder to ensure I was watching them. I had to double-check my check to ensure I was not overcharged more than the amount I initially charged for the meal. Also, I find it weird that they don't come to my table and charge my card on the spot. But instead, they had to charge it at their register station. Would I recommend it for someone? Maybe - depends on how trustworthy is the service and the communication of the staff...

This review will be more food quality based. The service however is wonderful. Very attentive and friendly. Meat quality is really low, cheaper quality of meats for sure. Banchan are also subpar. Open late so that's a pro.

We went for their AYCE Standard option and loved the spicy pork & marinated beef meats! So flavorful and tender. Would definitely love to see their vegetables were included with the order in the future! Everyone was super attentive and welcoming! They were very prompt in helping us and changing our grill whenever we needed to. Great intimate space and delicious food!

The meat was alright, kind of tough and so easy to overcook due to the grill being electric. For AYCE there were not a lot of options. It ended up being around $60 a person with the 18% service charge, which I find to be very expensive for the quality of the food. I was charged for lettuce because that wasn't included in AYCE which I find extremely strange. Kimchi was bitter. The service was good but I wouldn't return.

Went to celebrate here for my birthday and we all enjoyed our meal. We all got the $26 all you can eat and we're pleasantly surprised how fast they brought the items. My favorite from the sides was the spicy pickled cucumber. My favorite of the meat was the beef bulogi. The meal also came with bottomless white rice and dipping sauces. Be aware that they add an automatic 18% gratuity but theymade sure to tell us that counts as the main tip. Will be back!

The food is good. The service is good as well. Food was out really quick and they changed the grill often as well. It is pretty cheap compared to other places around. There are some options for meat selection but not too many. Their short ribs and marinated beef and spicy pork were really good. The side dishes were good as well. Overall 8.5/10.

The name of this place does not lie. There is literally a grill they bring out; you cook it and it's all you can eat. As you finish a particular offering, they'll bring out another one and the grilling continues. Having only been to a place like this a couple times, it's kind cool as you chat while your meats are cooking. On my visit, it was a crowded Saturday night. It was about a 15-minute wait on a walk in. Opted for 'all you can eat' that included short ribs, $35 per person which I recommend. Best part of the platter. Everything was else was good, but once you put a piece of short rib in your mouth, it departs you from the chicken, shrimp, beef offered. The place is pretty unglamourous. Not too much interaction with the staff, I know it was busy, but I found it kind of hard to get their attention if we needed something, such as a refill on a meat or a grill cleaning or anything. I know it was busy, but they never checked in. Also bottled water. Why not a pitcher of regular ice water? So, for an all-out grilled meat buffet, that's what you'll get here but service and setting isn't much.

20% service fee for "gas and servers in the back of the house on top of high prices for the buffet. Save your money and get a more pleasant meal elsewhere.

Love the all you can eat meat quality! Usually don't like to go to a all you can eat since meat quality falls off, but this place has very good meat quality for the price you pay! Love the beef and pork belly here! Definitely recommended!

SO GOOD! :D My partner and I came in around 7 and were seated right away. The restaurant ambiance was very quaint and clean. We got the premium all you eat meal which includes beef brisket, pork belly, shrimp, bulgogi beef, spicy bulgogi beef and my personal favorite, the short ribs!!! It also included unlimited sides of kimchi cabbage, kimchi cucumber, Mac salad, bean sprouts, and fish cakes. We also got a side bowl of veggies and some sodas and the whole meal was only $105 including a 18% gratuity fee. The staff were all so kind and helpful during our meal and the quality of meat was superb!! I am so happy we found this gem of a place and we will definitely be back :)

Wait: ~5 minutes (we came around 1:05 and they were still opening up the restaurant) Food: (the quality of meat was very good (generous portions), sidedishes were refillable) - Sidedishes: (Napa Cabbage) Kimchi, (Cucumber) Kimchi, Fish Cake, Penne Salad (sorta mayo-ey butter white cream sauce?), Flavored cold potato (that was sweet and salty tad bit sour), Bean Sprouts. -Rice: 4x Pretty packed bowls of white rice. -Meat: Marinated Chicken (both Spicy and non spicy version), Marinated Shortribs, Marinated Beef (both Spicy and non spicy version), Non marinated Sliced Pork, Non marinated Sliced Beef -Sauce: 4 sauce options. Staff: Very Friendly. There was less people that day and so the servers came frequently to check in on us. Environment: On first glance the restaurant is a little crusty. And you might not think it's that well kept. Even though the floors are a little sticky, all of the tables and the chairs were very clean. The utensils were clean and so was the grill-top that we used (which they asked regularly if it needed to be replaced.) They deserve the excellent food safety rating Bathrooms: Pretty Clean. (Hand Sanitizer, Soap, and Water was provided) Price: ~$105 + 18% service fee. (Not outrageous for the amount of food we got) We got the meal platter for 4 people. Review: This was a good experience. The meal platters were very generous and the price was not too bad for a K-BBQ. The meat quality was exceptional. The only complaint is the floors being quite sticky. But other than that the service was good and everything was great. Overall experience: Good experience 9.25/10

We had a blast at this Korean bbq place. This is such a fun date night idea! The place itself is very casual, things are a little sticky from all the cooking that is happening around, but the tables and utensils were clean. We only had chopsticks. I don't know if silverware was an option - we didn't ask. The marinated portions were by far our favorite! If I went back I would get some of the veggie options too. It was such a fun experience, I look forward to returning!

quality meat, good sides, speedy service! was able to fit our big group which was nice

I think the 3.5 rating this place has is fair and true. My bf and I were craving AYCE KBBQ and this place did not hit the spot. Menus made out of paper. You have two options for AYCE. Standard was $27 per person for 4 types of meat and the premium was like $35 and included the 4 protein from standard plus shrimp and short ribs. They also have sets for parties of 2, 3, 4. The set of 2 was like $55 and I wish I went with this option instead. They give sides like kimchi (which I found to be very sour), radish, kimchi cucumbers, spicy fish cake, bean sprouts, and cold pasta. The sides weren't anything special but they are refillable. They give 4 types of dipping sauces. The meat was ok. Since there was only 4 options they give it to you all. The brisket and pork belly were plate size and spicy pork and marinated beef were in a bowl. I don't think it tasted amazing. And normally my bf and I can eat 3-4 rounds but we only did 1 round. Hence why I said we should've done the set meal instead because at least we can take leftovers home. The rice was hard. They don't give lettuce or salad like other KBBQ places. They also give room temperature bottled water. Which sucked because I would like to wash down all that meat with a nice cold drink. I'm sure this could have been resolved if I asked for a cup of ice but just something to note. They do offer cold soda cans and alcohol. & not that it's important but their decor did not match. Different styles of chairs & different table tops. The place seemed dirty. They had terrible ventilation (they had several standing fans to rotate the air) so it felt very humid and sticky inside. However, the customer service was great. The workers were nice. I don't like that upon paying they're looking directly at you during the tipping portion. I think it would be respectful to look away so you're not pressured to tip so high if the service didn't meet your expectations. Parking lot was small but did find parking easily. Overall I wouldn't go back. Food was below average. Place wasnt clean. Nothing amazing offered on their menu. But they do seem to have regular customers which is great!

Here's the deal- if you want a quick, easy, straight to the point KBBQ, this is the place. The owners are super nice and really seem to value your feedback. We've been here a few times since the ownership change and I think they be found their groove. The banchans are flavorful, the meats are good. My only gripe is the actual grills. The cuts of meats are thin and cut into smaller chunks and tend to fall in between really easily. But on the other hand, I appreciate that it actually gets hot enough to cook meats quicker. It is a bit of a hole-in-a-wall vibe, they're open late nights and the price is right.

Had an absolutely amazing experience here, this just might be our new go to for all you can eat KBBQ. Open late (until midnight), affordable ($25/person is hard to beat, especially in todays AYCE KBBQ economy. After tax and tip you're looking at just under $33/person), includes a variety of quality meats (beef brisket, pork belly, spicy pork, and marinated beef), solid sides, and service that goes above and beyond!!! I'd like to emphasize that last point. Eko (Icho) the owner was on another level. Insanely proactive, anticipating people's needs before they even ask. Rearrange the restaurant to immediately seat a party of 10+? More meat?? Grill change? Side and sauce refills? Service with a smile and great posture? Eko's got your back! As the menu states "If you are unsatisfied with anything, please ask for Eko." The man can hustle and will bend over backwards to give you the best experience possible! Thank you for the service, can't wait to be back!

To preface this review, I want to thank Ikko and Young (pronounced YONG) for being absolute superstars. We started the meal with brisket and bulgogi and were very disappointed with what we ate. We brought it up to the server who then connected us with Ikko and Young. After some back and forth they set out to make sure we enjoyed what they had to offer. Customer service was top notch and clearly shows their commitment to customer experience.

My first and last time coming to Grill King AYCE. We paid for the premium all you can eat and it is definitely far from being premium. They kept serving the short ribs that is all fat. The only meat was on the bones. Servers will ignore you and pretend they don't see you. For the price there are way better KBBQ option. There are only 6 items on their menu for AYCE. Save your money and go to a better KBBQ like Gen for the same amount of money. Quality would be better too. I feel like this place is going under and they just don't care.

I had to ask 5 times just to get rice and sides. And they have the audacity to charge 18% automatic gratuity. Food quality is mediocre. You can get a better experience literally anywhere else.

Mandatory 18% service charge regardless of party size. Quickly seated. Complimentary bottled water. Nice grill that doesn't get burnt on you that utilizes rods versus a grill plate. Quality meats and good selection of small dishes. Left satisfied.

Great food, exceptional service and prices were very reasonable. Considering this is a KBBQ, we did not find it too smoky and the place is clean. Will definitely come back again.

Not very tasty plus the meat is not very good quality and smells a bit sour to me. All the banchan dishes are very limited and not tasty either. Not many choices compared to other restaurants

Came here for dinner with a reservation. Got the AYCE option. I really liked the side dishes that came with it and both the radish and the kimchi were really good. We also got some lettuce and the lettuce went well with all the meats. Rice was also pretty standard. The meats themselves were also pretty good. They have 5 options with the AYCE and we tried them all. I liked the brisket the most since I'm a brisket person. It was a little thicker than normal but still good. I also really liked the chicken since it was really tender and juicy, not dry at all. The pork belly, bulgolgi and spicy pork were all just pretty typical. The service was pretty good since it's a relatively small restaurant and they have a couple of people working and walking around.

The service was friendly and attentive, though, as others have noted, there's an additional service fee that gets charged. The all-you-can-eat (AYCE) option has a somewhat limited selection of proteins compared to other places, which was a bit disappointing. While the food was decent, it didn't quite stand out in terms of variety or flavor. Overall, it was an okay dining experience, but it didn't wow me enough to make me want to return.

This is a good Korean barbecue restaurant. The price was very affordable, the food was delicious and the food portions were large. The service was good, but I had to remind our server a few times of several items we were missing. Overall, this is a great Korean barbecue restaurant, you will definitely get your moneys worth.

First visit, easily five stars very pleased with this place as an experience! Five stars because: -Quality meats -Grills work very well and are nicely maintained -Affordable bargain priced, the standard all you can eat fair is $27 per person + 18% service charge explained in detail and context in the menu. -Open late till at least midnight if not later -Comfortable and charming atmosphere with many large comfortable booths like a home away from home. -Very friendly and helpful staff PS. Personally I really have a soft spot in my heart for fantastic businesses like this that try really hard to provide an exceptional value and service thus the customers can easily without much analysis paralysis as a no-brainer make enjoying going out to eat also say with a group of friends or someone special a regular thing. Left stuffed and Looking forward to next time and would most certainly highly recommend! -St. Rick "Line out the door" & "Car trunk take out" hobby Pro.

Definitely recommend. Owner is attentive and cares about the customers. I will 100% support this business over the overly hyped one on Tik Tok. Food is great. If you ever have an issue they will make it better.

The Grill King - All You can Eat Korean BBQ Great deal for all you can eat BBQ. They changed their menu now so the ones online are not updated. Check out pictures for new menu. They only have 1 package for the all you eat now - $25 for all you can eat, 4-5 different meats. We really liked the Bulgogi, steak, and pork belly. The ban chan was not bad - I liked 2 of the 5 but they could've been better (I always like to see things like potato salad or an egg one but they didn't have it). The bean sprout and radish was good though. Definitely recommend it for a large group because we were all were stuffed and satisfied by the end. Great deal! Tip - get lots of rice and lettuce to make a lettuce warp! So yummy!

Yikes. I dread typing this, but was a very underwhelming experience. From the moment we walked in, the server questioned whether we had a reservation. He seemed insulted we didn't (thankfully there wasn't a wait) and felt like he sat us as close as possible as to the other two parties. I get business is opening up with COVID, but would have been nice to be spaced out a little bit. After seeing the menu, their first AYCE option was unavailable. The brisket and pork belly arrived on the same plate. The pork belly was pretty decent, but it was the first time I didn't want to eat the brisket. The quality of meat wasn't great and we had to wave down our server to get the rest of the meats. You have to explicitly ask for the lettuce and rice. I'm not sure if it's bc I'm from LA & my KBBQ standards are too high, or maybe it was an off day there, but I would not return here. I was appalled to watch the server seemingly wear the same exact gloves while cleaning up the tables and grills, to serving the frozen meat. His apathetic attitude matched his customer service & inattentiveness.

This is my first time visiting this AYCE KBBQ place. I live around Shoreline so I always see this place when I'm driving to work and grocery shopping. I just haven't have the chance to stop by and try it out. I came here with my friends recently. We got seated right away. During Covid, they give you water bottle for water. That is good, I guess. The menu have A,B,C for AYCE Kbbq. #A is unavailable so we did #2 instead. The list are pork belly, beef brisket, spicy pork, marinated chicken and beef. Decent meats. They do have side dishes as well. They food itself is good. We ask them for lettuce, jalapenos, and garlic. These are the essential for eating meat to pair with it! The service were pretty attentive, we just have to wave at them for refill and etc. The price is alright, but they charged us extra for the garlic, jalapenos, lettuce. Which was unexpected. Most KBBQ those were all complimentary. But overall, decent KBBQ.

This is one of the few places that's open late around here and it's decent kbbq! The service was kind of slow when it was a bit empty but the food definitely hit the right spots. The ambiance was chill and I enjoyed it! It's AYCE kbbq and the price was decent! Check it out if you want to eat some late night bbq

So I went here a couple weeks ago and had good service, so we went back last night. The man was not working, but it was two ladies and I understand the service charge is built into it and I really don't care, but sometimes I think service lax because of that . So last night when we went there, they never changed our grill never came to our table unless we asked, we were out of sauce out of water and just felt that we were neglected . The food is so so we just get the marinated beef, the pork belly and the other beef that is a little chewy . The first time we were there, everybody seemed to be cleaning, but this time it seemed a little bit dirty. There's still big, cobwebs hanging from the ceiling.

Such an amazing spot you can eat at! I definitely recommend! Food: easy enough to order. They have variety of meat and variety of sauces and banchan. It is more on the expensive side but I didn't mind. You pay for good food! Atmosphere: very, very, very homey. When you first walk in the restaurant itself is rather small but very welcoming. Right now it's covid so everyone one is seated every other table with screen coverings. Staff: omg! The service. I loved it! From our server to the other staff members who were very welcoming and kind. They were very attentive to us and made my daughter laugh and giggle. Overall this is a great restaurant if you want dinner/hangout. If your catching up with friends or just want a quick bite to eat. Definitely come by you won't regret it.

If you love meat, you will love this place. Korean BBQ is great fun as you cook the meat yourself. Great when you have a group. This all you can eat restaurant offers great quality cuts and quite reasonable prices. The brisket and the beef bulgogi steal the show. The pork belly is also good. The chicken cooks really quickly and, in our case, overcooked. I would complain to the chef... but since it was me, no complaints. The wait staff are very quick to get you more cuts or meat, side dishes or sauces. Some people have complained about the service charge. It's not hidden. It right on the menu. I would recommend reservations as it can get busy.

Some major pros about this place, but also some major cons. Pros: amazing food. High quality meat. Super affordable all you can eat buffet. Delicious sides. Cons: slowwwww service (at least when we were there). The meat cooks really slowly because they turn it to a low temperature. We asked to increase the temperature and they said if it gets too hot, the fat drips down and causes flair-ups with the fire. So it was a bummer to have so much meat, but having it cook so slowly, it took us a really long time to get through all of the meat. Not the greatest atmosphere - it's fine, but not the comfiest. Overall, the price and taste make it a solid 4 starts and I would return, but don't expect a 5 star experience.

I have ate for about 3 years before the pandamic. The owner have never let me down for anything. The owner is very friendly and the meat always fresh and high quality. Highly recommend stop by this place.

The wait time was about 15 minutes or so on a Friday night, but the service is mentionable. He kept us informed and hurried us in as soon as he could, it was a cold night! There are 3 AYCE options, more meats = more $. If you are just a basic pork belly and brisket person then #1 option is for you! The marinated meats were not too bad though, bulgogi as expected. But the chicken though! I do not ever have chicken for AYCE for obvious reasons, but it was tender on the grill. Be sure to specify if you only want certain meats to come out otherwise they will bring ALL the meats available in your option (in my case unfortunately the chicken was out the coop). The ban-chan had a variety of 6 - the white radish was the best one IMO. I did wish there was a salad or lettuce that came with it - best when wrapping up that little pork belly. However it is an extra cost. An OK rating only due to the sides. Otherwise the meats are typical of an AYCE and the servers got them out quickly after we request MORE MEAT PLEASE.

This is THE place to go for Korean BBQ. Our family had the #3 option in the AYCE menu. Some basic facts: 1. We got to select the meat/seafood we wanted . 2. Portions were generous, one round was already enough to fill us. Just too good to stop then. 3. Every banchan dish was tasty. The owner recommended us to grill the fish cake and pancake a little before eating, nice! 4. The kimchi was AMAZING! 5. The quality of meat was very good, marinated well, the beef tongue and short ribs were our favorites. 6. Did I mention that the kimchi was spectacular? Bonus points: 1. Restaurant was clean and well ventilated. 2. Service was attentive and very friendly. 3. Ample parking space. For the quality of food, the service received, and how satisfied we felt after the meal, we certainly received good value for the price paid, and this restaurant is now on our must-go-again list.

Husband wanted KBBQ on weekend around 430pm. The restaurant is empty. The AYCE set is $25pp. I was like. Oh no.... There are four kinds of meat to select from. 20% service fee is added automatically. The side dishes came. First bite of the fish cake was gross. It was mushy in texture and taste nothing like I had at any Korean restaurant before. For $25pp, what do you expect with meat quality. Really!? The beef was paper thin, tough and dry. I'm speechless for the rest of the meat. Anyway, we finished quickly without ordering more and headed to another restaurant. I can understand business is tough with inflation. If you are IN the business, offer what you respected to your customers. Charge adequately if needed to stay afloat. This is just not acceptable in my book.

Well worth $27 per adult, and you need not worry about gratuity since they automatically add 18%. Haven't been to this address for over 15 years so good to see a Korean restaurant remains next to Shay's. Might upgrade next time for $8 more/person. Friendly staff.

This spot saved us when we were craving kbbq at 11PM! We felt bad about going past the restaurant closing time at 12PM by a few minutes but the owner never seemed irritated and took good care of us the whole time. Honestly was probably one of the best services I have received in a long time. Now let's move on to the food. We ordered the AYCE combo #2, and for the price, itwas a great deal. The quality of the meat was good, not amazing, but satisfied us anyways. I would give the food 4 stars but the dining experience was so spectacular that I gave it an extra star.

As a Korean, I would say this place is authentic. First of all, you cant beat the price. Second, the meat is really good quality. Third, the side dishes are home made and taste good. The cucumber kimchi and spicy fish cake taste like what a next door Korean ajuma with good taste would make. I went to baekjeong and was disappointed for what i got compared to price. This place is much more homey and authentic. I know when a korean restaurant places more value on customer experience over profit. I usually despise eating bulgogi or spicy pork at an ayce because they are usually too sweet as they are geared towards non-Koreans. I could not have enough bulgogi and spicy pork at this location as the they had perfect sweetness as I would get em in Korea. Service was amazing, too. The ajuma and ajussi that works there were friendly. I'm going to visit again!

Very humble, mom and pop AYCE Korean BBQ. The moment we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the waitress. Excellent service by her. Provided everything we needed and asked for without hesitation. Very sweet lady. 10 stars for the service here. The kimchi was very good here. My issue was the substandard meat that we received. (We ordered the AYCE #1 which was pork belly, brisket, and chicken.) We felt it could have been better quality. They brought out the pork belly and brisket first, letting us know they would bring out the chicken last. After the underwhelming first round, we didn't even bother getting the chicken. Also, while banchan was generous, it was also average. Did not care for the macaroni salad. Too much mayo.... the other issue was the grill. They use electric grills here and they just don't cook the same as gas. I was missing that classic gas grill most Korean BBQ restaurants use. We could not have asked for better or more friendly service. Which easily makes up for the interior of the restaurant. Would love to give this place another chance if they improved on food quality.

For a 25 dollar unlimited meat, it's a good deal. The meat has a pretty good quality, one of the usual korean bbq restaurants i've had. The side dishes are okay. The service is good as well. They always get back shortly to your call. Ambiance is very korean. We enjoyed it, however, it's pretty hard to cook. The heat kinda burned my fingers. Too hot. And also, the bill was extra $7-10 for some reason.

Great food friendly service awesome place to grab a bite with friends! Always super busy when I'm here the staff are really attentive.

Ever since COVID, I don't think I have given any reviews to some places I've been to and I just think our ratings and reviews (are very helpful) will help keep these businesses open if we continue to adverstise them to our friends here on Yelp or anyone around the area. It was my first time here last week with my fiance and coming from San Diego, CA we had a lot of choices for AYCE(all you can eat) Korean BBQ---that is not much here in WA. This place is not too far so we wanted to just try and check it out. Few pointers here that I hope the owners and employees will feel encouraged :) 1) Service: The staff, not sure if the man that helped us is the owner but he was very kind. We had our server and she is nice also, she kept apologizing for the delay. THEY ARE VERY POLITE (calling us Ma'am and Sir) which I felt kinda shy for them to call us that but also made me smile how nice they were. #1 Tip to keep customers. 2) Food: very generous on the side dishes and the meat. Although we got the ALL YOU CAN EAT OPTION A, the first served brisket and pork belly made us full. They asked us if we wanted more side dishes (not all AYCE BBQ or resto does that) and were very pleasant on providing this to us without feeling like we asked too much. Hence, sometimes I do go for just the side dishes. My fiance likes their sides and said he will come back for those again. Very tasty flavor. 3) Evironment: Clean. They really take the time to clean each table. I didnt want to say 10/10 cleanliness bec the place is small so it'a a little cramped and they have supplies thats covered by a room divider. This also can result into a long wait so BE PREPARED! they call you once your table is ready if you want to wait inside your car. I just hope one day they can expand for more tables and space. 4) Price: If you're not familiar with AYCE KBBQ, you're going to think the price is too much. But really tho, it's not bad for unlimited meat and side dishes. 5) Location: They're a busy area and pretty small parking lot so always be prepared. Call before you come esp if you live far. Reserve over the phone and try to arrive 30 mins to make sure you get a parking spot, unless you come at night. I hope they open a few locations around Lynnwood, Bellevue, Seattle, Renton, or Renton though!

$25 all you can eat is a good deal!.... However When the bill arrived they added a $23 service charge on top of that also ask for a tip?!?! Now I don't mind tipping but there was 4 adults and nothing on the menu that mentions a service charge so I don't know. But they did get us in on a Saturday night with no reservation. The place was busy and the variety is pretty good. My fave was the spicy pork and bulgogi they had the best flavor. The pork belly and beef were ok better with the dipping sauce. Overall it was good and fun cooking your own food. $25 would be great if it was REALLY $25 w/o a service charge.
