Woobling Korean BBQ

As someone who lived in Korea for four years, I’ve really struggled to find truly good Korean BBQ in the U.S. Since moving here, nothing quite measured up — until this place. I’ve been twice already. The second time I brought my spouse just to make sure I wasn’t overly excited after the first visit — and it absolutely held up. They offer an unlimited all-you-can-eat option (we went for the late dinner slot, around 9 p.m. to midnight). You grill everything at your table, with unlimited choices of pork and beef. My favorite was samgyeopsal — the classic Korean three-layer pork belly with the perfect balance of fat and meat. You also get unlimited rice, salads, kimchi, and a variety of panchan (Korean side dishes). Everything was very good. The meat quality seemed excellent — perfect thickness and cut, grilled beautifully. The panchan selection was fresh and flavorful. I truly cannot recommend this place enough. This is officially my new favorite Korean BBQ spot in the Seattle area. Price was $28 per person before tax, fees, and tip — about $80 total for two — which felt very reasonable for the quality and unlimited option.

I visited this place a couple of years ago and had a mediocre experience. At the time, we ordered à la carte, and I personally wasn't a fan of the staff grilling for us; it felt like they were rushing us to finish. This time, I returned with several friends to try their All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) option, but the experience was disappointing. Despite the restaurant not being very busy, the service was lacking—perhaps they were understaffed. We placed our orders via the tablet, but the portions were tiny and many items we ordered never arrived. We even had to track down the staff just to get our sodas. Given how many great Korean BBQ options there are in the Seattle area, I won’t be returning here. There are much better places to spend your money. The only major plus is that the building offers three hours of free parking in downtown Bellevue.

It’s a sad place. Don’t come if you want good KBBQ. The non stick pan is not able to get a good sear on the meat. It’s a waste of meat and money. The soufflé egg is not authentic and kinda gross.

Seattle Bellevue is a very livable town. But I don't understand how there is such a poor Korean BBQ restaurant here. I'm worried that the guests who come here will be disgraced in Korea. It was the last place I wanted to go again. My family and I ordered a 135 meat set menu and alcohol and had to wait a long time. First, the meat grill was electrified, so the heat didn't come up, so it didn't cook well, so we had to wait a long time. I called the staff several times because I thought there was a problem, but they didn't come right away. In the case of seasoned ribs on the set menu, if the seasoning burns and sticks to the grill, the grill must be changed or cleaned, but they didn't provide such service at all. Of course, I didn't even mention how to grill the meat or how to grill it. Eventually, I called the staff several times, but they didn't come, so I was very angry and complained. Only then did a person who said he was the boss apologize and gave me a parselard that he was selling for $5 as a service. I've never seen a Korean BBQ restaurant that sells pa-salad separately without refilling it. Other places nearby offer it for free. When I asked the boss why he didn't give me parsalad for free, he said that's because the price of scallions has risen so much. When you receive this ridiculous service and pay later, you've set a default tip of 20% to 35%. It was ridiculous. These restaurants should be gone. I never want to visit again.

Used to be a big fan of Woobling. I considered it a better version of Baekjeong when comparing their beef combos. However, went this week and was sorely disappointed by the quality and taste of the meat. The beef cuts were really fatty and full of ligaments making them rubbery and hard to chew. The seasoned kalbi which is usually the highlight was WAY too sweet. Seriously our throats were burning from the sweetness. The only cuts that were decent were the chadol and the steak with butter. The doenjang jigae was good. The rice was very cheap quality. Sides like the green onion are now charged for refills. Service was quick and efficient.

the presentation looks just as good as the food tastes, especially the wagyu stake if you put salt on it!! it’s soo yum along with everything else, i’m a picky eater and this was an amazing experience. everything came so quick so we got to eat when we wanted to:) 10/10, would recommend!! photo below is the wagyu steak:)

Okay, I’ve officially found my second Korean BBQ place that I really like. I was a little disappointed to find out they don’t serve solo diners. I’m used to going by myself in San Diego when I take a “me day,” and honestly, I can handle the meat 😄. But it’s not just this place—I called several highly reviewed Korean BBQ spots and they all had the same policy. When I walked in, I immediately let the young man know that I have gluten allergies. He walked us through the options clearly: either all-you-can-eat or a two-person combo. I waited for my friend, and she chose the all-you-can-eat. From that point on, he was very attentive—making sure the meats I ordered were gluten-free and explaining in detail which side dishes were safe for me and which ones to avoid. Both floor servers were on top of everything throughout the meal. My friend got a little excited and ordered more than she could eat, and I honestly felt bad knowing the leftover meat would be thrown away. The young man (I wish I remembered his name) was kind enough not to charge us extra for the wasted meat since it was our first visit. And yes—I finished mine 😄. The meat quality was very good overall—fresh, well-cut, and flavorful once grilled. The only item I wasn’t a big fan of was the Wagyu beef. It didn’t quite compare to the Wagyu I’ve had in Japan or at other restaurants in the U.S., so that one didn’t stand out for me as much. Overall, it was a really enjoyable dining experience, and price-wise it felt fair for the quality and quantity. I do wish they offered à la carte for solo diners, but regardless, I’ll definitely be back. The restaurant isn’t huge and isn’t too small, but I can easily see it getting very busy, so reservations are probably a good idea.

I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant but the meats and the banchan were just so disappointing. the meats were inconsistent, some were chewy, some were tough, the only good thing on the menu was the wagyu but you could only get 1 per person, and the banchan just weren't that great either. all in all, just not worth your money.

Isn't it amazing when friends discover hidden gems and invite you along? I'd never have known about K-BBQ Woobling without them. Let me just say--the food was absolutely delicious! The portions were generous, offering plenty of meat for the price. Believe it or not, I ended up having more steak than I could handle. The staff was friendly and helpful, guiding us on the best cuts to try first. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

I don't often give bad reviews so when I do, it's really bad. I lived right upstairs in the Elements complex. One time I went down during lunch and found out they didn't have vegetarian options. I was feeling stuffy and still too full from the previous day's meal. So I ordered a soft tofu stew, repeatedly told the lady waitress please do not put any meat or seafood in. She confirmed to me multiple times that I could just order the seafood tofu stew, she would assured the kitchen to make it without meat/seafood for me. Moments after the order came out with clams, shrimp and just everything else. I didn't have time to waste, so I just scooped everything out and finished it. Then I told the lady waitress, she apologized and quickly went back to work. The second time I came with my husband, we decided to eat something light because I wasn't very hungry. It was already past dinner time in the evening. The waiter came and told us that we could not just make one small order for BBQ. We ended up order more that what we thought, and the waiter came out smiled as us saying "see you finished all". I was like, did he really say that? After 2 visits, I've never visited again. This restaurant is in a prime location but I have no idea how they could survived with such attitude. My husband and I have been switching to closeby places such as Wild Wasabi Signature and Minamoto for way better service.

Came here w wife and inlaws who are Korean. As other Reviewers noted, getting to this place is a bit of a maze. You enter the parking garage and before you know it you are alongside the elevators for the 2nd Elements building and there is no way to cross over on the 2nd floor where the restaurant is located...Architecturally, a poor concept. The restaurant has a nice ambience, and the aromas were great walking in. Staff very friendly, too. Anyhow, the inlaws were wanting primarily dolsot bibimbap, so we opted to order a la carte and not AYCE. Just as well. The banchan variety was modest, some 5-6 choices, but refills available on request. We ordered 2 meats for the grill, the boneless marinated pork and the marinated chicken thighs. Reasonable portions of both, and the grill operation was decent w pretty good ventilation. The marinades were quite good, not overly salty nor overly sweet. We also ordered the brisket/kimchi fried rice which was nicely warm w gochujang seasoning. Inlaws enjoyed their bibimbap, though they said that the portion of meat in the dish was on the small side. We shared our chicken and pork with them so all was okay. No leftovers to take home. My only reservation about this place is the issue of value. You certainly get more of the same quality and at a better price point in Lynwood or Federal Way....but you have to drive there, a consideration for sure. I guess I will have to try it again and hold off on a hard recommendation until then.

I would rate Woobling above Baekjong (despite the fact that they don't cook for you), and below Meet (where they do cook for you!). Overall, the service at Woobling is friendly and efficient, the tables are clean (with in-grill ventilation), and the quality and quantity of the meats is excellent. We ordered a La carte instead of one of the sets/AYCE, and for us that was the right way to go, but I like the fact that you can really choose your own adventure here. Free 3 hour parking in the Elements' building garage, too. We'll be back!

I came here for my birthday a couple of weeks ago with my partner and a few friends during the evening. We came at 8:30pm, and they close at 10pm so we tried to make it quick. The interior is modern, but the area we sat at had some cool traditional Korean artwork. It's a pretty place to have celebrations, but I do wish the music was louder in our section so that it wasn't awkwardly quiet in the restaurant We ordered the mixed meat set that came with different cuts such as brisket, pork belly, a few marinated items, and more. All the meats were good quality but nothing special compared to any other average KBBQ restaurant I've been to. We also got some decent side dishes that were refillable for free which is nice. By the time it was 10pm we tried to rush our meal so we wouldn't cause issues, but the staff kicked us out right away at exactly 10pm which was a little upsetting. I understand everyone is trying to wrap up and go home, but almost every KBBQ restaurant I've been to has given grace to quickly finish, so an extra 5-10 minutes would've been nice to finish the last meat we had. Service could've been friendlier, but I understand the situation. Just wished it was handled better.

I'm very conflicted on this restaurant. I'll have to come here again to see if I have a different experience. Felt like a good space for both a nice or casual night out. Service, however, was VERY slow and we didn't get rice, banchan or condiments for 20 minutes after our meat arrived. The quality and quantity of the meat did exceed my expectations, surprisingly . None of the other menu options seemed to be a very good value but the 2-person bed combo was probably enough for 3. M

Such a great Korean BBQ place. Service and quality of the meats 5 start. Portions are fairly small. Two of us order beef combo for 4, and we almost finished it. Every single meat in the combo were excellent. It's a place to splurge for sure! Sorry, realized didn't take much pictures

This is my third time dining here. I haven't tried the bbq but their weekday lunch special is not bad. It's actually a pretty good deal and when it says it feeds 2-3, we had a group of 4 ladies and we still had leftovers. The lunch special comes with a choice of beef or pork bulgogi. It also comes with rice, steamed egg soufflé (10/10), soybean paste or kimchi stew, marinated crab (only a few pieces though) and for us that was more than enough. We also order a bibimbap so total two orders: lunch special + bibimbap. The sides are pretty good but they were out of the ones I like for example pasta, broccoli, and pink radish slices. The potato salad was good though. Very creamy. It's not going to be like the Korean food in Federal Way or Lynnwood standards by any means, but if you're craving for korean food and you live on the Eastside this is the place to go. Also FYI, horrrible location! It's literally in a building on the second floor and it's a MAZE. Accidentally parked in the wrong garage and had to walk to the adjacent building but it's soooo confusing. Give yourself extra time to find it if you have a reservation. It's never packed the three times I went. My theory is because ppl can't find it and/or don't even know about this place. It's so completely tucked away. I'm rating this based on other Korean foods on the Eastside. Not Korean food in general (FYI).

K-BBQ Woobling, aka Woobling, is located in the one of the Elements buildings that always manage to confuse me. We found it from the outside along 112th then look for a path inside. It worked. There was a 30 min wait without reservations, which was fine with us. Once we sat down, the service was reasonable. The staff is very busy, seemingly running from one end to the next or pushing carts to deliver the piping hot foods. We learned to flag down a staff as they roared past us for service. The décor is modern Korean with cleanliness and fun murals. Unlike most others eating KBBQ with meats served on Insta-friendly tiered racks, we opted to not cook our own food. No regrets. The banchan was skimpy with four sad little options. They didn't even have kimchee radish. I wonder if it was a busy night, and they ran out of some options. The overall rating doesn't warrant a full 4 stars. But the staff was pretty cool. I decided to round up. The Food: Bulgogi Octopus Hot Pot, $45 - 4 Stars Menu: Serving size 2 -3. Mushroom, onion, radish, green onion, beef bulgogi, octopus I don't know what I was expecting with this dish. First, I didn't realize it was a soup. LOL! But it was genuinely flavorful and satisfying on a cold night. The octopus in the center is served raw. A swift dunk in the bubbling broth was just the right amount of cooking. It is a giant pot. I was happy with plenty of leftovers with broth to make more meals. Korean Fried Chicken Wings, $16 - 4 Stars Menu: Korean style deep fried chicken wing, salt, pepper, garlic, onion, wheat with original fried The $16 is a wee high for wings, but I'd be lying if I don't admit it was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Fine, fine, I'll pay $16. These KoFC is making me fat, and I'm liking it far too much! Korean Seafood Pancake, $22 (L), 3 Stars Menu: Korean pancake made with squid, mussel, shrimp, green onion, carrot, onion, wheat flour, egg The seafood pancake didn't taste like it has as many varieties of seafood as the menu says, not even bay shrimps to represent shrimps. The dominant visible seafood is the fake crab shreds, which isn't listed in the menu. The crispiness and chew are good, but I object to the reality vs menu description. Side note: The Seafood Pancake arrived super late, after I asked about it twice. They either forgot to place the order or they comp'd this dish without our asking. Regardless, it contributed to my decision to round up the rating.

It was good here and the meat selection was good too. We got one of their meat combos that feeds for 6 people and their beef bulgogi (not pictured). I liked their beef bulgogi and their presentation. Wish they had more variety of ban chan but they do give a lot!!

TIP: look at the LUNCH MENU (during lunch hours) for cheaper prices of the exact same portions/ food items. all ordering and the menu is on a tablet at the table, and we originally clicked and opened up the regular menu, during lunch time, and would've been subjected to the full price if we hadn't seen the button way at the bottom for lunch menu. Lunch menu had the same items just for ~20% less and we even asked- same portion sizes. at lunch prices it's absolutely a solid deal. had good sides, free refills, really appreciated the food. they did mess up the soup ordered where the soup isn't as pictures (ex; had an egg shown in picture but was told it's not supposed to come w egg lol what.) they also originally forgot all the noodles in the soup. all good though they easily corrected this and were super nice. would recommend going based off our experience of buying regular dishes

Was looking for Korean food when I was visiting and found K-BBQ Woobling close by because we wanted to do the KidQuest Children's Museum afterwards.The place was a bit hard to find cause it was upstairs of a multi story business building. We ordered the tofu soup, some paejun and bibimbap. The food was good! I can't say it was the best Korean food I had but everything was flavorful and service was good!

The food was awesome! Super flavorful. The presentation was great too. Really made the entire experience we showed up right before closing but the wait staff were very accommodating and helped us order quickly. Everything was super great and we will definitely be coming back! Everyone ate the Korean Corn Cheese and LA Galbi before I could take photos! Lots of Soju too.

Meat quality was decent, seemed fresh, good variety. Poor air ventilation so you will smell like bbq on all your clothes. Slightly higher than average prices for all menu items and drinks. Lots of space - good for large gatherings and groups. Service was good, staff are all friendly. I'd recommend sticking to the meat combos or the meat sets and would not recommend getting any of the soup entrees.

The food here is great! We got the cold noodles, beef tartare, and lunch mixed combo for two. The beef tartare was prob my favorite, the beef was so fresh and I'll def be back for it. The Korean bbq meats were also high quality but the price was a bit steep. You order your food and drinks on a tablet at the table. Staff were friendly. It was a fairly quiet dining experience.

I've had better Korean food in Seattle, but not in Bellevue. And our experience was a mixed bag. You order from a computer attached to the table. Hard for anyone to see except the one person touching it. The servers did come by to see if we had questions, but they were always in a rush. We ordered the kimchi pancake as an appetizer and 4 other dishes. The pancake was the last dish to arrive, and we were half way through the meal. It was greasy and soft, the dish we liked the least. The banchan tasted good; there were 5 items. The kimchi was very good. The spicy pork was ordered medium and came really mild. The beef bulgogi had little flavor. The bibimpop was very nice, with tasty and colorful components. The rice got a little crispy against the bowl, which was nice. The sauce for it was provided in a squeeze bottle and was VERY mild. I enjoyed the soft tofu soup's flavor (again pretty mild), and it was full of tofu, but little else. We had ordered mixed, but we're hard pressed to find anything other than tofu in the broth. Parking, elevators and finding the place is confusing. I'm not sure who the target audience is for this restaurant, maybe the people working in nearby buildings.

We visited on a Tuesday evening and easily got a table. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the meat was fresh and delicious. The restaurant was spacious and clean. We weren't aware of free parking, but the server confirmed it's available in the same building with registration. We completed the survey online, hoping for free ice cream, but the server confirmed they no longer did free ice cream, so we got Fanta instead. Overall, it was a good experience with delicious food and with nice presentation. Wish they would include the thick pork belly in their combo menu though as we only saw thin pork belly offered in the combo.

I had food poisoning several hours after dinner and my friend had stomach issues. I contacted the restaurant to let them know about it, and they weren't helpful and defensive. --------------- I had reservations for 2 at 5:30 but the restaurant wasn't busy. We ordered the small beef combo with marinated beef short rib and it was enough for the two of us. The food came out fast. The soy bean paste stew was below average, banchan was ok overall, and salad was fine. The marinated beef short rib was my favorite cut, and the other meats were all just ok for me. Nothing else tasted good or particularly good. The service was minimal, and I don't think I'll be back since it was an expensive meal and I don't think it was worth it given the quality/service.

Hands down our family's new favorite spot for Korean BBQ !! Everything was top notch. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was incredible, especially given there was only one server working that evening. Totally blew us away. Can't wait to come back !

Woobling KBBQ is absolutely to die for! The food is incredibly delicious, with a superb selection of high-quality meats that stand out from your typical KBBQ spot. While it is on the pricier side, it's definitely worth it for special occasions or if you're in the mood for premium cuts without going the AYCE route. Ordering from the convenient tabletop tablet makes the experience seamless, and the servers are quick to bring your food. The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly, making it a great spot to enjoy a memorable meal. Highly recommend!

I recently dined at Woobling in Bellevue, and I must say, their brisket kimchi fried rice is a game-changer! The flavors were perfectly balanced and flavorful. It's a definite must-try for anyone visiting this restaurant. Can't wait to go back for more! I was in a group of 6, we did not make a reservation for the evening, but the service was so good that we did not have to wait that long to get seated. Keep in mind, this isn't always going to be the case, this was just my experience. Everything was amazing, nothing was mind-blowing, but nothing was lacking either. One thing worth mentioning is the presentation of the meats and the rest of the dishes were one of the best I've ever seen. This is a fantastic restaurant for date night or casual dining with friends as it is just a small walk away from the Shops at the Bravern. The price is a bit on the higher side, but you'll be guaranteed an eventful dining experience with warm delicious food! Overall, if you're in Bellevue and you're looking for some great Korean food, check this place out!

This place is a new solid kbbq restaurant in downtown Bellevue. Was able to try this place twice, while prices are higher than federal way k town there is good quality food, and high customer service. The downsides are that there as many side banchan choices, and green onion salad is extra charge, lettuce is extra charge and rice is extra charge and the barley tea is not complimentary line standard kbbq places. With that being said kimchi side is very fresh and the marinade for green onion side salad has great tangy flavor. Be prepared to spend for the extra things. Ideal to make a reservation if you have a large group on the weekend. The beef tartar appetizer came with the egg to mix and nicely marinated subtle to still taste the fresh meat flavor and was a crowd winner. The short rib is freshly grilled and has a sweet marinade and the beef tongue nice texture and bite to it was paired well with the dipping sauce provided. We all left full and satiated.

Had this place bookmarked for awhile and finally had the chance to eat here when some friends wanted kbbq on the east side. Things to note: Parking - A wee bit confusing but as long as you parked in the building where the restaurant is located, just make sure to head up to the second floor. Signage isn't as clear but follow your nose to the smell of kbbq. Reservations: If you have a group, you can make reservations up to 6 people via Yelp. Any bigger, would recommend calling in. Things that make Woobling shine: Mix Combo (4-5 people): ---Portion: For my group of 6, all of us were decently hungry and this quantity of meat was just the right amount. ---The Meat: Love how there were a ton of variety of beef and pork. 2/3 of my group were brand new to KBBQ and having a variety of meat was a great introduction and tasting to the various options. ---Meat Quality: For the most part, both the beef and pork had pretty solid flavor and quality was definitely pretty good. No complaints here :) ---Generous Refills: if you like your sides / ban chans, don't feel afraid to ask for more. Refills are pretty generous and there were a good variety of options offered Other things to note: ---Service: Throughout the entire meal, there really wasn't much service provided. If something was needed, we would have to wander around to find a staff member and ask. ---Price Point: A bit higher than typical places and overall, the lack of service makes this place not as great of an experience when compared to other kbbq places at similar or lower price ranges ---Non Kbbq Food Items: Overall, sides were a bit more on the blandness. For my group, we also ordered the kimchi pancake which ended up being a bit saltier than normal. Overall, experience here was decent but I wouldn't go out my way to come back again.

Food was good and reasonably priced (especially the all you can eat!) and the service was alright, but nothing special

Walked in on a Friday evening and was seated within 15 minutes for a party of 4. Service was friendly and attentive, however it's slightly overpriced as I have had better Kbbq experiences for the prices that they charge here. Side dishes were decent but it felt like they were slightly stingy with the dipping sauces. I did enjoy the steamed egg though. Parking in the garage is free for 3 hours so that was nice.

Six of us ordered the beef combo for four, steamed egg, braised beef short rib, and seafood pancake. The portions were generous--we could barely finish them, and we usually eat a lot. The meat was tasty and tender, and the steamed egg was incredibly soft and yummy. While the braised short rib was tender, it was too salty for my liking. Unfortunately, the service was slow. We were seated at the back of the restaurant and hardly saw the servers. Despite using the call function, no one came, and they never checked on how our food was. Additionally, the restaurant floor was oily and slippery.

Nothing really impressed me with this restaurant. The meats were just okay (not super high quality), the side dishes were not good, rice was too dry, and the combinations don't come with egg soufflé. The only food that we really enjoyed was the seafood pancake. At this price point, I would've expected better. I recommend checking out other kbbq restaurants: Baekjeong in Lynwood, Bellwether in ID, Meet in Cap Hill, or I think even Palace in Bellevue is better. If you're going to go the higher quality kbbq route, I think you can get much better meat and sides elsewhere.

We got a bbq combo and bibimbap. The tofu bibimbap was really plain, wouldn't recommend it. The marinated beef was really good, but for the price I would come in a big group. The restaurant space itself was great, though the tables felt a bit small for the amount of plates there were. Unfortunately, we ran into a few issues with the service, like bringing us something we didn't order, writing our order down wrong, never changing the charred bbq pans.

This spot is in a less busy area of downtown Bellevue, and it's nice that they also have free three hour parking in their garage. It is definitely pricier and more of an upscale Korean barbecue restaurant, but I did enjoy the ambiance here, and it was roomy enough and not too crowded when we went even with my 10 month old niece. The service was great and we thoroughly enjoyed all the food that we ordered, including one of the combos, a seafood pancake, the Korean style steak tartare (my favorite in the noodle strip form), sundubu, and beef nigiri (you can pass on this IMO). The bbq was delicious, and you can tell the quality is up there, especially since they're service USDA Prime beef. I'd go back for special occasions or if I'm craving the steak tartare and happen to be in the area!

Meat quality was okay but nothing amazing and the marinated meats were very underwhelming. The worst part was there was only 1 server for an entire half of the restaurant so most of the people eating there at the time just self-serviced and got their own utensils, boxes, water, etc. For the price that they are charging, servers should be helping guests cook the meat. The tables are also extremely small. We were a table of 4 and it felt really small even before the food came. Lastly, their electric grills are extremely slow! It took almost 30 minutes to cook each set of meat. I have a video of me putting my hand near on the grill and not feeling any heat. You might as well stay home and grill your own meats on a home grill! VENTILATION does not exist, probably the stinkiest Korean bbq we've had! Neither the hood or the grill vents worked. This was probably the worst experience I've had at a restaurant considering it's pretty hard to go wrong with Kbbq since you cook everything on your own anyways! I hope they improve their service, food, tables, grills and ventilation since Bellevue really needed a good BKkq spot.

Bougie KBBQ. My birthday was a month ago and still meeting up with friends to do birthday dinners as I will only allow myself 2 cheat meals a week, KBBQ is such a good way to get protein in. I thought it would be pricy, but actually for $125, you can get the mixed combo that happily fills 3 people vs us 3 going to an AYCE with lower quality costing more for $45 each. Presentation was on point, floor is kind of slippery which makes sense with grease splattering everywhere so don't be like me and wear skinny heels. My favorite side dish was the green onion salad. My jacket still smells like smoke afterwards, but it wasn't strong walking in. There's plenty of other Korean entrees if you don't want to do KBBQ. Nice location, it's on the 2nd floor of the Element building right when you get outside elevator. Free 3 hour parking with Park Mobile app that I hate so much. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

Tasty and high quality Korean BBQ for two! Definitely used to that $27.99 AYCE Korean BBQ in LA Ktown so this was a bit of an adjustment for the wallet but when we came across this spot on Yelp, the food pics seemed too good to resist. We arrived with no reservation around 7 pm and waited for around 15 minutes as expected. Once seated they quickly brought out banchan and salad (which is unlimited refill) and took our order. We got the beef combo #2 ($91) which features brisket, short rib, ribeye, and marinated beef short ribs. The fat marble was divine! It also came with a few vegetables including asparagus, mushrooms, and onion. We ended up ordering gyoza as well but the combo is definitely plenty of food for two. Ambiance was chill and not too loud like a typical KBBQ spot, so it was perfect for a dinner date. Service was excellent and the food, while pricey, was clearly high quality!

Excellent food Above and Beyond Customer Service and inside and outside of the restaurant superb clean.

Location: we parked at the bottom garage but took the wrong elevator up so we ended up on the opposite building and having a hard time finding the place. Service: friendly and fast service. Food: now, with the price tag and being in Bellevue with not a lot of good kbbq competition. I'm not sure where this stand. The meat quality was mediocre to me. I thought with the price I'm paying, the meat would be less lean. Some of them were kinda chewy due to how lean it was. Giving this a 3 star because of the service and decent side dishes.

The restaurant is spacious but the tables were not very large so we had to have quite a few side tables to fit all the food. - egg soufflé was a bit disappointing as it was dry. - chicken- usually don't order this at kbbq but it was really tender and nicely seasoned - Kimchee stew was devoured by the kids - Soju options were good and they brought ice and tonic Was hard to get the attention of the servers. They mentioned changing out our grill plate a couple times but didn't make it until we were almost finished.

I was really excited to try this place because the meat quality looked good but I would not recommend Woobling. First, there is no customer service. The hostess doesn't greet you, the server checked on us once, none of the employees say anything or ask if you need anything, and for $91 for 2 people, you grill your own meat. Second, the food is just all okay. The banchans are all just okay in taste and dry like they've been sitting in the fridge for a while. The meat is okay at best. The portions of meat are very small and the quality is not what I expected for the price. I've never tasted such bland joomulluk. Third, we ordered beer and the glass the waitress gave us was HOT like hot out of the dishwasher hot. For $17 more at Meet they cook your meat for you and include steamed egg, corn cheese and stew. I wanted to leave less than 20% tip maybe 15-18% but it was awkward to do that as the waitress held the card reader and just kept looking at me to see what tip I selected. The tip selections are default 20, 25, and 30% and anything else needs to be manually input while they watch you. The only good thing about Woobling was the seafood pancake.

Had a nice lunch. The food was good, next time I will try the bbq. Service was quick and very polite. I also want to try the lunch special but it's only available on weekdays. Parking is free for 3 hours using the Park Mobile App.

Pretty Clean Korean BBQ place in Bellevue. Staff were friendly but missed a few things. For example they forgot to bring scissors and tongs which I had to request. Then I also realized they forgot to bring dipping sauce. No big deal but please don't forget more than one when serving customers. The quality of meat was great. The presentation was equally good. Everyone liked pork belly. Beef Kalbi was popular but as Korean i thought it was too sweet. Fried chickens were excellent as well. The my didn't provide any of traditional lettuce to wrap the meat. No soup either. The reason I cannot give more than four stars is as follows. 1. The table is just too small for Korean BBQ. 2. Missing lettuce to wrap my rice and meat. 3. Staff missing some basic stuff. At least those who I interacted with were all friendly. I would come back with probably non Korean guests.

I really enjoy this place. Location wise, it's very close to downtown and is a small walk but also has plenty amount of parking so getting here is convenient. Service was good, there is an occasional wait during more busy hours, and they will refill your Bonchan when prompted. Food here is great, the Galbi tang is my go-to since it's rich and delicious but the kbbq platter is also good for larger parties. There is plenty variety in the bonchan but kimchi are more towards the spicy side. I noticed that the seafood pancake was good, but they have since changed and don't come with shrimp on top anymore. A noticeable downgrade. Beef tartare was only okay as well, it was still a bit frozen. Ambience is good, a great place to hang out and relax. The fans are running so it never gets too Smokey. It's a bit more on the pricier side and ambience reflects it. Overall, a great place for Korean food, not just kbbq. I highly recommend trying it out

They have great quality of meat. But they are expensive. The waiter at the front desk is not very friendly and professional, when I asked him how to do the parking payment and wanted him to tell me if I did it correctly, he just pointed to a sign and said " just follow this" and walked away. ( when there is no other customer in store and after us) But the food here tastes good. I will not come here very often because of the price.

Came here for lunch and it was so good. A little on the expensive side. I ended up getting the variety meats and it came with A LOT of meat. Also came with giant amounts of banchan and a huge salad. The service was great and we were checked on constantly. Water was refilled and when I dropped my chopsticks without saying anything, the server brought me another one!

Service can be tricky. Depends on the server, you may have different experience. Food is good but sometimes it takes forever without any further explanation. Again it is about the server. Ambiance is good and conveniently they have a garage to park for customers. But price is high. Maybe it is just my opinion.

We were able to walk in without a reservation on a Saturday night (a little after dinner rush). The interior is pretty clean and lively with modern decorations. I appreciated the attentive servers! They brought out new side dishes whenever ours were running low and frequently stopped by our table. I ordered the beef combo, and the presentation was beautiful. However, I thought the quality of the meat was lacking -- maybe it's because I just moved from Texas so I'm comparing it to the Korean food there, but the meat just didn't taste as high-quality. The side dishes were also pretty bland and not as tasty/fresh as other Korean restaurants I've been to. I was also surprised that the combo didn't come with any soups or stews like I've experienced at other restaurants, especially for the price. For the price, I just didn't think the meal was worth it, but I did enjoy the service and the presentation.

Really enjoyed our experience here. The food was presented beautifully and the quality of everything was great. We went in for lunch on a Friday so it wasn't too busy. We ordered the beef combo for 2 and the seafood pancake. Really good portion of beef for the price and the quality was pretty solid. Our only complaint was the brisket was a little thick and tough. Definitely could be sliced thinner. The seafood pancake was delicious and my wife and I both agreed it was the best we've had in awhile And it was a big portion with lots of seafood. We're looking forward to coming back to try some more of their other non-bbq items.

Love their steamed egg! So fluffy and the portion size was huge. The meat portion size was also huge! The side dishes are unlimited and very tasty. The restaurant was spacious and we were seated quickly. The workers aren't that attentive and don't regularly check in with you. Some may see that as a flaw or a plus, I didn't mind. There's a parking garage, free parking up to 3 hours I believe.

I can't remember the last time I was this impressed with the service at a KBBQ place! Maybe when I was in LA. Anyways, servers here are super attentive and have really fast service with things like refills, grill changes, and really any question you may have. My family came here for my mom's birthday and the 3 of us could not finish all of that meat lol! But you can take whatever you'd like to go so long as you cook it first. The cuts are delicious and I really enjoyed the choice of beef brisket. Plus everything is arranged into little meat roses, hello?? Not super busy on a Wednesday night (expected) but the environment is very spacious and clean. In a nice part of DT Bellevue that's tucked away and parking is free for 3 hours with registration! Come for celebrations!

I came here for lunch today and got the braised beef short rib "hot pot" (aka Galbi-jjim) for 2. I highly recommend this dish if you're not in the mood for KBBQ; it is savory and sweet, soul-warming, and so tender. It's the perfect cold weather food but I can eat it any time! Service was a little scattered as it took a while for the servers to notice a queue accumulating at the entrance before they quickly seated us and brought menus. After ordering, banchan and drinks were brought out, but there was some confusion, and I waited almost an hour before the server realized our entree hadn't been prepared. They quickly came over to apologize, confirm that we still wanted to have lunch, provided extra food, and gave us a discount to make things right. I appreciated the quick apology and actions to right the wrong; had I been in a hurry, I might have been more bothered by this, but I had good company, so a leisurely lunch was fine. It was especially helpful to have had 3 hours complimentary parking as well! All in all, I had a really good experience there and would go back. Everyone has off days, but their recovery from mistakes are what impressed me, and the food speaks for itself.

To say that I was disappointed is an understatement. To start, the side dishes were the most bland and old side dishes I've ever had at a Korean restaurant. Only three side dishes were offered even: fish cakes, bean sprouts, and kimchi. We ordered the beef pork combo and the beef tartare. The beef brisket from the combo was completely frozen, which affects the toughness. The beef tartare looked like it went through a meat grinder. All of the meats except for the marinated meats were not at the level of what you're paying for. The soybean stew is also incredibly bland. It's insane that they are charging 19 dollars for 계란찜 (steamed egg). The restaurant has potential, but it seems like they are charging the highest rate for kbbq and providing the lowest tier of quality.

I think this korean waive is getting into some business owners head, thinking that they can serve shitty food and ppl will be ok with it. WTH is wrong with this place and people that work here? You may go and enjoy their bbq but limit it to that please or just simply go somewhere else. Everything else is just so bad it will anger you like it did to me. Never order To Go for sure. They literally put spoon of rice and argued with me that it is a whole bowl of rice. You can see it in the picture i added. Tofu soup was so freaking oily, no salt , barely any tofu and no lean meat pure fat, it was impossible to eat. They charged $17 for it, absolutely inedible. Side dishes, don't even bank on it, with my whole order which included 2 soups and Japchae, which was hella oily as well, they literally included tiny box with, 3 cucumbers and 3 kimchi in it. Like how can this be ok? Truly boils my blood, such a waste of my money ,my time and my poor stomach. There are many great mom and pop restaurants out there, where you can get decent food from decent people. Avoid this place!!!!!!
