Woomadang

We had the all-you-can-eat Course C at Woomadang KBBQ and it was amazing! The meat quality was great, everything was fresh, and the side dishes were delicious. The place is super clean and they have free parking, which is a huge plus. Rani was so sweet and helped us cook at the table, even giving us some grilling tips. Austin was really attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Honestly, one of the best KBBQ experiences we’ve had. Highly recommend!

This Korean BBQ is hands down the best BBQ experience of my life. Server Rani was incredibly professional, and one of the staff members honestly looked like a K-idol—both of them were extremely kind and attentive. The meat here is truly top quality. It felt like dining at a premium meat omakase—everything was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious. The signature “Jajak Naengmyeon” pairs amazingly well with pork belly and pork jowl, creating a combination I’ll never forget. What impressed me most was how the server explained which cuts of meat go best with which sauces and sides. I actually learned so much while eating, and it elevated the entire dining experience. I think this might be the first time in Seattle I’ve ever had such high-end service, top-tier food, and this level of hospitality at such a reasonable price. Truly outstanding. I highly recommend this place—easily one of the best restaurants in Seattle. The quality really is on another level, like a meat omakase experience. Once you try it, I’m convinced you’ll want to keep coming back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Woomadang Korean BBQ was such a great experience! They offer halal meat options with a separate menu and grill for Muslim customers, which is so thoughtful. We tried the beef bulgogi, chicken bulgogi, ribeye steak, and short beef, all super flavorful and tender. Sides like mashed potatoes, grilled corn, fish cakes, tteokbokki, and sweet & sour chicken were amazing too. The restaurant is beautiful and cozy, with warm lighting and cute decor. Service was top-notch—staff checked in on us often, refilled drinks, and the chef even came out to thank us personally. Highly recommend Woomadang if you’re looking for delicious Korean BBQ with halal-friendly options. Can’t wait to come back!

Wow. Amazing food quality and has a full, separate halal menu. Tried both the entree experience and the all you can eat. I really appreciate they have the marinated meats on the halal menu. Thank you to management for having the halal option at this wonderful place! Everything tasted really good. The grills are pretty well ventilated too compared to other places where it gets too smoky and needs to be changed frequently, but knocking off a star since you will still smell like KBBQ after you get home 😁 maybe they can ventilate the restaurant a little bit better.

Very nice Korean BBQ restaurant with all you can eat Halal menu. I tried them for the first time today. Good selection of meat. Good service by Justin and a very nice owner who was so kind. The place is big. Easy parking. Very clean too.

I ordered the Spicy Rice Stew, and it truly captured the authentic taste of Korea. Even though it was a busy weekend, the service was smooth and efficient thanks to the many attentive servers, so there wasn’t a single inconvenience. The restaurant is spotless and well-organized, with a live band that gives it the feel of a fine-dining experience. The ample parking is another big plus. Everything about this place deserves a perfect score.

Great quality food, excellent service, strongly recommend all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurant! Their trio pork belly are excellent, goes very well with house salad, kimchi, radishes and all other side dishes. They have live music in the evening too. Gogo!

K-BBQ Woomadang in Redmond has truly elevated the Korean BBQ experience on the Eastside, especially since coming under new management in November 2024. Their premium $49 All-You-Can-Eat option is a standout—offering not just quantity, but exceptional quality. The cuts of meat are top-tier, with buttery, marbled brisket and rich, flavorful galbi, but the real star is their seafood selection. The jumbo scallops are shockingly fresh and generously portioned, seared perfectly on the grill for a sweet, succulent bite. Add in prawns, squid, and other delicacies, and I have got a feast that feels indulgent yet accessible. Service at Woomadang is nothing short of impeccable. From the moment I sit down, the staff is attentive without being intrusive. They check on my table frequently—almost like they have a sixth sense for when I need a grill change, a refill, or another round of meats. The team moves quickly and efficiently, making sure my dining experience is seamless and enjoyable from start to finish. It’s rare to find this level of consistency and care, especially at an AYCE spot, but Woomadang sets the bar. Whether you’re gathering with a big group of friends, planning a family dinner, or looking for a fun and lively date night, Woomadang fits the bill perfectly. The spacious layout accommodates large parties comfortably, and the vibe is always energetic without feeling chaotic. What really sets the mood apart is their live music every Friday and Saturday from 6 to 8pm, featuring talented local performers. Then from 8 to 9:30pm, the stage opens up for open mic night—so if you’ve ever wanted to belt out a ballad after some soju, now’s your chance. Woomadang doesn’t just serve great food—it delivers a full evening of fun.

I tried this place today for the first time. I appreciate they have a Halal menu and serve Halal meat. Nice owner and nice serving staff. The Halal menu is simple. It's all you can eat for around 53.00 with some restrictions but it was good enough. Another great Halal option.

Wow! Now I know why my children and their spouses love it here! We were invited by my children to have lunch at this Korean restaurant. When we came, we were seated right away, the staff is attentive, checked on our table frequently. They come right away when we need a grill change, refill on banchan, or another round of meats. We had the $49 All You Can eat (Course C ) they offer a top quality meats. We had premium rib eye, marinated beef short rib, pork belly, spicy baby octopus, scallop, mussel and pork jowls. The restaurant is spacious and can occupy large groups, they also have live music on Friday nights. We all had a very nice dining experience here. I highly recommend this Korean BBQ place!

Overall, the food is 3.5/5. I rounded up to 4 for the service and the wide variety of dishes available. It's an AYCE with three different categories to choose from. We tried a mix of meats, cuts, and marinades. I liked the beef belly and spicy pork bulgogi. They serve generous portions for each order. You can select up to five items per round for a table of four. The marinated kalbi and pork jowl were fatty. The brisket and thin pork belly wers okay. The beef tongue had a rubbery texture that I personally would not recommend getting. They provide a lot of banchan, which I loved for the variety. The japchae was delicious with a nice sesame oil aroma and flavor. The pink radish paired really well with the fattier cuts of meat. There were only three servers on the night of our visit so they were busy. We had to wave them down for orders and water refills but they were always super nice and never seemed annoyed. One server noticed us waiting and helped double-check our orders. Overall, this could be a good spot for group dining if you're craving Korean BBQ.

Amazing quality and experience dining here. Staff were attentive and quick, meat was all fresh and tasty. Opted for the course C which gives you everything on the menu - definitely worth it for the marinated short ribs! Lots of seating great for groups of all sizes. They have somek towers (soju + beer) for those that like to indulge. Great spot for AYCE kbbq in Redmond for coworkers and friends.

Came back after exploring a few other places closer to Seattle. Found out ownership has changed, along with a few other things: 1. Menu has changed - more selections, specifically the thicker pork belly is now part of AYCE 2. No more hot bar. This is a bummer but most items are included and brought straight to the table. Distinctive from other AYCE places - full lettuce leaves. And their beef radish soup - still bomb. 3. Their meat quality is always superior than other AYCE places. Compared to places like Grill King in Shoreline, this is far superior. Come see Rani eemo who will always take good care of you. Don't sleep on this place.

Solid ayce bbq with quality meat. Do know that if you get there close to closing you will not get the full allotted time to eat. Seoul meat is a little better in terms of the meat quality, but it is really convenient to be able to make a reservation and not have to wait an hour which would make Woomadang my preferred place for groups. Solid ambiance, friendly service. All in all a pleasant experience. Would go again.

Rani the manager was incredible as she managed the lunch rush. Sat for a single AYCE which is often hit or miss for service... not here. Amazing attentive monitoring of my courses, a mid course grill swap and some gentle suggestions on cooking certain cuts differently for better end. Not a cheap option but the meat quality was great and if you don't leave full you weren't trying! Sides were great and the corn cheese is a fun addition. Ginger lemon honey digestive offered at the end by Rani was appreciated. Bring your family, friends or team this place is great!

AYCE kbbq is available for one person party Great selection of banchan Awesome meat selections and quality Phenomenal service Beautiful dining space with a karaoke stage

A pretty average K-BBQ spot that offers a "hot" bar, which was barely lukewarm. The AYCE price (currently $44) has decreased since they've opened, but honestly the value is still questionable. I generally only order the LA galbi, brisket, and pork belly which were just ok. The bar offerings were mostly just room temp, dry, and bland. Side note: I happened to stumble across an IG influencer who featured this spot and they got dessert ice cream. My party definitely did not receive any such thing after our meal so I'm a bit jealous.

Yes, the price point here is a bit higher than other AYCE kbbq joints I've been to, but the quality of meat, selection, and service match the slightly higher prices. We were seated and served throughout the meal by a hospitable and friendly Korean lady. Even though we didn't explicitly mention it was my brother's birthday, she came out at the end of the meal with a small dessert and candle. We were touched and amazed by her care and attention. The meat here tastes very fresh, and the side dishes express a variety of Korean food beyond what you'd normally expect for side dishes; I never thought that teokbokki would be served as a side dish at a kbbq restaurant. All the vegetable dishes taste fresh, and our orders came quickly. Maybe my only gripe was that they put cheddar in the corn cheese, which made it taste a little more sour than I would've liked. Perhaps the best thing about this food that sets it apart from other kbbq joints is that the grill is nonstick. It seems a simple matter, but we didn't have to keep requesting grill changes, and our meat always cooked well without getting unwanted char; don't worry, the pork belly can still get super crispy. We came at a relatively non-busy time, but the restaurant is spacious and homely. They mentioned live music on many nights as well as karaoke on the stage at 8 pm. Overall, we had a great time and I would definitely come again!

A lot of Halal options!!! I am a big fan of the bulgogi and their brisket! the atmosphere is nice and clean and nice employees!

Came here for lunch on a Sunday and we had a blast! We had a reservation but the place was surprisingly not crazy packed. They've got 3 options for AYCE with different meat options, and honestly the cheapest option ($32) was enough for me. Brisket, pork belly options, mushrooms, and all the sides and Korean appetizers you could want. I enjoyed the meal so much I want to come back for my birthday in a few months. I just wish they had rice paper

The AYCE selections were OK. Thick pork belly was not available for the AYCE but only in the a la carte menu. The ribeye was chewy. There were more selections at the bar (side dishes, soups, vegetables) and I thought the food quality at the bar was better. The interiors were nice and clean. With a traditional Korean vibe. The staff was very nice and attentive. Parking was easy as there was a parking lot.

You can eat fresh and tender meat to your heart's content. 3 options for all you can eat.

K-BBQ Woomadang is located in Redmond, within the same shopping center as the movie theater and other restaurants and a health center nearby. Parking is plenty and it's easy to find. The space itself is large, with plenty of tables for large groups. You can make a reservation ahead of time, especially for large groups. The first time I came with a large group, only some in the group wanted to do the AYCE option while others did not. With that said, in order for some in a large group to do the AYCE option, ALL members of the group must participate. They are very strict about this rule. Therefore, for our group of 12, we ended up just getting a la carte options, which is when I tried the soft tofu soup with beef. It was solid. And you do get AYCE banchan. But compared to other Korean spots around, it's nothing to brag about. In my most recent visit, my partner and I tried the AYCE option. They're currently offering a $39 anniversary special for the AYCE option versus the $50 it normally is. We visited on a Saturday night and the place was busy, with many people dining in. The AYCE option includes a variety of meats to choose from to grill, as well as the buffet of hot and cold food items. The cold items were mostly the banchan they serve for a la carte dishes, and I'd say this is better than the hot food items. The hot food items were bad. I had a chicken wing, which was super dry. I could tell it was sitting under the heat lamp for a while. The tteobboki wasn't even fully cooked as it was hard to chew and cold. Yuck! This hot food buffet is not good. As for the meats, we tried the beef bulgogi, brisket, ribeye and short ribs. Of the bunch, I'd say the beef bulgogi was the best because it's marinated so has good flavor. The short ribs were also fine, but pieces were fatty. The ribeye was the worst, as it was a thick piece of frozen beef that was so bland. You really need to hit up the sauces at the buffet station to enjoy the meat here. All in all, I wouldn't visit K-BBQ Woomadang again. I came, I saw, I conquered and I wasn't impressed. With so many other Korean restaurants around, especially news ones popping up all over the Eastside, I can't say this is worth checking out.

This is my family's go to KBBQ spot! The manager is super accommodating! We love this place

Wonderful, Ambiance, Food and service. Friendly customer service!! Love their energy!

Love this place! Come here with my friends all the time. I moved out of state but I will always come here when visiting. The people are so nice and friendly. They are also very attentive to your needs and refills. The food is tasty and a great price!

Do not trust this place with your halal food! We were served pork and lied to multiple times. We ordered the chuck eye round steak and this came out. We were certain it was pork. We asked our server and he asked the kitchen and they insisted it was steak. We were still skeptical and sure it was a mistake, so we asked another employee and they doubled down saying it was the steak. Now after going home and asking around, everyone is certain it was pork. Thankfully we chose not to eat it. If they had admitted the mistake and not lied to us, I wouldn't be leaving this review. Also the bill ended up being $407 for 6 people getting the all you can eat halal menu. Which is crazy expensive for a place that's LYING ABOUT THEIR HALAL FOOD.

Have to update my review. I would give this place more 3.5 stars but will keep my 4 star rating solely bc the service is really nice. However they have completely changed the concept here- see my new photos for latest menu. Dinner and weekends is now AYCE only and includes buffet. Lunch on M-F you can order hot entrees a la carte if you want. I have to say besides the galbi the rest of the meats we ordered for AYCE were not good quality. It makes me sad bc I just don't see how this business can survive if the quality of the meat isn't there. I see they've improved the buffet with some seafood, sashimi/ kimbap and offering fruit but it doesn't offset the bad quality of the main dish. The Kalbi was worth ordering but for $43 per person I expect more options and better quality. There's many other Korean bbq places open nearby now on the eastside that this place just doesn't seem worth it anymore for the price. Also the $16 flat price for all kids ages 3-7 is just...insane. Kids that age don't eat that much...why is the price that high?! I suggest management reconsider their food quality and the menu. Instead of focusing on AYCE, offer a la carte and execute those well. The place is also so large but was pretty much 2/3 empty on a weekend dinner time. Makes me sad bc our waiter was so nice but it's hard to see how it can survive.

Best of all you can eat KBBQ so far. Meat quality is great and has many flavors. Service is good and clean (super useful). There are live music on Saturday too.

Delicious food. Lots of options. Attentive staff. They changed the cooking table when it got charred which was nice. Pace did seem slow for refills and the time limit came quickly. Will try again.

We went to Woomadang for a birthday dinner and were slightly disappointed. We had a group of 7 people with us. We all ordered the unlimited buffet option and due to the amount of people we had and differing palates, we wanted to try every meat option. We ordered that and were only given about half of them. The service was incredibly slow and it's like our server neglected us halfway through. We kept having to call over people to help us order more food and get more water and they treated us like we were an inconvenience to them. Most Korean BBQ places will change the cooking plate every 20-30 minutes and ours were not changed out once. Food was absolutely caked on the bottom by the end of it. I do not envy whoever had to clean it (it was probably easier to just toss it because it was so dirty). The food itself was pretty good. The beef bulgogi and short ribs were our table's favorites. Overall, the service was so disappointing and despite the food being fairly tasty, I likely won't ever come back.

The meat is not very good, most of them are frozen except ones from the prime group. The space is spacious with live music. It should be a good place for group activities but not for dating :)

Amazing food and excellent service. We did the AYCE and they had a lot of different and special cuts to choose from. Will definitely be back here!

Great overall atmosphere. Karaoke nights are fun as well! Have been here quite a few times and the service is typically great!

I've only just started exploring the ayce K-BBQ scene in the Eastside after moving here, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with Woomadang. Yes, it's not cheap, but this isn't Korea. Food: let's start with the hot/cold bar offerings - admittedly, I steered (pun intended) clear of the hot bar items for the most part, since... this is KBBQ. I did hit up the cold bar for banchan (a must) and some salmon sashimi type appetizer which was a nice surprise. Everything seemed fresh and flavors were on-point. This is pretty similar to the "self" bar setup you find in Korea where you serve yourself sides and rice. Meat-wise, the portions for each type of meat were generous and they had all the usual selections you would want - bulgogi, samgyupsal, chadolbaegi, kalbi... you'll be full. Service was great, and the servers are happy to bring you more meat as long as you have room for it!

Excellent lunch with lunch boxes specials available until 2 pm. Other dishes are available until closing time. Service impeccable and atmosphere agreeable. We got coupons for drinks It reminds me of Seoul.

They are having the 1 year anniversary all you can eat for $39 per person. I think this is a really great price in Redmond. Their meat quality is great, and the hot bar and salad bar have great options to choose. The staff here is very friendly. Free parking

The meat was over-marinated. I had to force myself to eat them because I was hungry. For the price, it is kinda expensive.

My new favorite Korean BBQ place!! Have been here many times in the last few months and have always had a great experience. The AYCE is reasonably priced and the meat is always of decent quality. The selection of banchan is always great - I especially recommend the pickled radish wraps for any of the grilled meats. By far the best part about Woomadang is the service - the folks are always so nice, helpful, and attentive with our needs. Love this restaurant!

The service and the food was excellent. The price is in the same range as others in the area, nothing to complain there. I'll definitely be back again. Good for family gatherings.

3.5 truly but overall it was a great value. Came here for the first time and enjoyed their 1 yr anniversary AYCE. It was nice they had a hot bar and banchan buffet style, even with veggies, sauces and garlic to grill up for ssam! I'm sad to say the banchan was super bland. I just came back from Korea and this was my first kbbq experience since. The cucumber kimchi wasn't spicy, the tteokbokki was good, the potato salad was horrible, the regular kimchi was good, radish kimchi bland. I didn't try to soup but maybe next time. The lady was super nice who greeted us and went over the menu. We started with the bulgogi, pork belly and brisket. Fair meat quality. The ribeye and LA style ribs were the best quality and taste by far - definitely recommend! Now that I know what to get/what to avoid I feel it'll be a nicer experience. The bathrooms could definitely use a deep cleaning, I like the overall decor and vibe of the place.

Pros and cons about this place. Pros: Endless self serve banchan Tasty food Roomie Cons: Pricy but comparable really to other places Not as many choices compared to some places All in all there's not a lot of cons.... I've definitely been to better places and definitely worse ones out there. All in all it's a place I'd recommend and would go again. Service was great, once we got it, and I never feel rushed.

Food: Got the beef brisket and pork belly, both thinly sliced. As you can see from the pictures, the quality of the meat was very high - some of the best KBBQ brisket I've had. Well-marbled without being too fatty, and crisped up very nicely on their grills. I tried their galbitang and soondubu on different occasions which were also awesome. Ordering: They have a hot bar with fried chicken, tteokbokki, beef and radish soup, and more, as well as a salad/fruit bar. This is included with either the AYCE or a KBBQ a-la-carte item. If you order an Entree (stews, bibimbap, fried rice), you can access the hot bar for +$8. Great to have some soup and chicken with some KBBQ. Portions: 2 a-la-carte items are a lot for 2 people since you've got the hot bar - we decided to cook up the meats (80% doneness) and get a box for our meats which worked out great. They have a 10% discount for the summer right now! Very solid KBBQ spot.

6.19.2023 Second time visiting Woomadang. The restaurant wasn't busy and there were only 6 tables. I like this KBBQ spot because we have good selections of Hot Bar & Salad Bar. (Included one order person for every a la crate BBQ order)

Good all you can eat bbq. Good for the price. I think it was like $29.99. Came for a birthday party and everyone left full and happy. Staff was great at switching out the grills when they got burned. Ambiance was super casual. Good ventilation. They have a hot/cold bar with Kimchi and rice and sauce and other various items that go well with the meat which was nice! They also gave us free melona bars for the birthday! Would return. Lots of parking in the adjacent lot.

A formerly 4.5 star KBBQ, the best on the east side, has been remodeled as of Nov 1. It is now a 1.5 star restaurant. [NOTE: All food pictures prior to Nov 1, 2024 are now no longer representative of what is available] While the price has gone down for the bottom tier options it is at high actual cost: The buffet is gone, the quality of the meats has gone down, the quality of service has gone down. Why does service matter at AYCE? Because with vastly slower service, that means you will get full, or frustrated, much faster and now be able to order as much before leaving. There is increased selection of meats now compared to before ((large intestine, small intestine, and stomach, and instead of just pork belly there is regular, garlic, and spicy versions now available) , but since they quality went down it isn't worth the price. Some of the better meats are now in the higher price tiers but instead of being AYCE those items are 1-per-customer. I used to go frequently, but now will never go again.

Not my favorite for All You Can Eat (AYCE) because of the limited options but steep price per person ($55), but quality and service are pretty good. Their unique thing is having a cold & hot bar, with the typical banchan items such as kimchi and lettuce for ssam but they also have hot items including fried chicken and tteobokki. The hot bar is priced per person at $30, unless you get AYCE or order an ala carte meat to grill in which case each order includes 1 hot/cold bar entrance. You can also have the option of adding the hot/cold bar to an entree order for $8 extra, per entree. We ordered steamed egg and seafood pancake, which unfortunately didn't count for the hot/cold bar. We also got an order each of beef brisket, pork belly, and marinated short ribs; as well as an order for the combo soft tofu soup, which all came with 1 hot/cold bar entrance. In total, 4 out of the 6 people in our party were able to go to the hot/cold buffet bar. The meat and food quality here will definitely be a lot better than most AYCE places, so it's up to personal preference what you want most; either affordability and quantity or quality. Would this be my first choice for AYCE kbbq? Probably not, since I'm looking for quantity and variety when I eat AYCE Kbbq. However, I'd come here more for the quality ala carte meat options if I wasn't too hungry because I'd still get the hot/cold bar.

LISTEN PLEASE! This place USED to be the greatest. They had a side bar with unlimited self serve rice and fried chicken and there we others at the self serve bar. They took it out?? It was my biggest draw to the restaurant. Another huge complaint is their customer service went way downhill as well. They constantly hover over you and touch your meat and try and flip it for you. Basically babysitting you. The whole point of kbbq is to do it yourself and enjoy the experience and your meat cooked how you want it. They would flip my meat extremely early and the pork still rare on one side. It's rude and demeaning AND killed my appetite at an all you can eat place. OH and the last major issue with them is they will purposely try and usher you out. It's not even busy, we paid for all we can eat and they will hover over you stare at you like hawks and keep impeding on your dinner. I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYMORE. Only upside of this place is the food still taste good. Maybe tell them at the beginning to back off and not be in your space unless you need them.

This place is unlike other Korean restaurants I've been too as they offer not only KBBQ and Korean dishes, but also a cold bar buffet that comes with all the yummy banchan sides and sauces AND a hot bar which is included in the AYCE price or an add on for $8 that comes with different friend chicken wings, cooked marinated meats and tteokbokki. AYCE is probably the most expensive KBBQ place ive been too, but there are A LOT of options to choose from since it comes with a large variety of meat and the hot and cold bar. The radish and beef soup is something I love and also ended the meal with some really sweet cold and refreshing oranges. The servers are nice and attentive. We came with a party of 11 at around 4 PM and the table was ready when we arrived. It was empty so the server was very attentive to us. Overall, this place has options for everyone. If you don't want to get AYCE, you can definitely get full off a regular meal and have the option to add the hot bar to the meal. Would definitely recommend.

Great option on the Eastside for AYCE k bbq. Service was friendly and fast, with lots of options. Hot bar had plenty of sides and sauces , with lots of options , even Korean style fried chicken. They can accommodate large groups with reservations. I went on a Thursday night with 7 guys and it was easy and overall delicious. A decent selection of means on the AYCE menu but I felt perhaps at $55 per person , there could have been more options. You can order a few meats at once per order and they'll check back in once you've finished them to order more. Service of meats is very fast. My major complaint and the only thing holding me back from a 5 star review is that the grill just doesn't get as hot as you'd expect at a K BBQ place. I found it difficult to sear meats effectively and it made the cooked meats texture feel more rubbery or "poached" in its own sauce / fat. It must be the way the grill is designed with its downdraft fan to create a more "smokeless" environment. It does mess with the taste and texture of the finish product I'd have to say so it left me longing for a hotter electric grill or a gas grill.

Best halal kbbq I've had. Amazing experience and very nice and friendly staff. Great halal menu available!

They have new owners and the staff is wonderful. The food was amazing and they even had live music. We will definitely be back!

Disappointed. This used to be my all time favorite kbbq restaurant. I recently went back and they had changed everything. They no longer do the self serve, and you have to order everything. They also started a system for meat based on a color code so you can only order from the green if you pay this much or purple if you pay this much. For the most expensive section, purple you can only get the ribeye 1 per person, prior there were no sections and it was a true all you can eat. The banchan was also disappointing, the kimchi all felt very recently made with no fermented flavor. The samjang was just doenjang mixed with sambal. The tteokboki tasted like it was made with paprika.You have to order anything you want causing you to constantly ask a waiter for help. They no longer have the large selection of side they did with self serve. The prices are lower but it is not worth it. I would have much rather continued to pay a high price for self serve. I am truly disappointed as this was my favorite restaurant and I now need to find a new place to go.

With a price comparable to Brazilian BBQ steakhouses, Woomadang is expected to be pretty high quality and it lives up to expectations. Definitely the priciest AYCE KBBQ in Washington but also the highest quality. Brisket and pork belly are KBBQ classics and the ones here are labelled "premium." While not levels above others, they are definitely better quality and tastier. Alongside that, the AYCE menu includes brisket, short rib, ribeye, chuck flaps, beef bulgogi, pork belly, pork shoulder, and pork bulgogi. You can also come here for an entree, add $8 for the hot bar, and feast on AYCE Korean fried chicken which is amazing. Might have to come back for that and skip the KBBQ, though the KBBQ was still delicious. Prompt service walks through aisles and checks to see if you need anything through a flip card. There was not a single moment we were without meat. The waiting primarily came from cooking pork and not waiting for meat. Hot bar comes with Korean fried chicken and bulgogi. Interesting to note that they have bulgogi pre-cooked at the hot bar and you can order some to cook with the KBBQ menu. Cold salad bar has pasta salad, mashed potatoes, radish, kimchi, vegetables, and mixed fruit (oranges on our visit). Rice and soup is also available near the hot bar. Skip the pork shoulder. We figured we'd try everything but it's your typical pork shoulder. Dense, thick, and they gave a lot probably because no one else orders it. Highly recommend the chuck flaps. Easily the richest meat available. High quality, tender, and cooks very well. Cooking this medium rare is very simple and tastes delicious. I wish we had ordered this earlier because then we would have continued to order more.

Full Disclosure: As of January 2023 Woomadang provides a 10% off your meal for leaving a Yelp review and showing it to the staff. This is something to factor in when looking through reviews here. The ambiance in the place is great and the music choice definitely sets the mood. Came here with another person and ordered the K-1 AYCE which ran us 55/p before tax/tip. This option has less variety in meat selection (which can be seen in the pictures of the menu) and comes with access to a hot/cold bar. Personally, I really enjoyed the hot bar but wasnt blown away by any of the cuts of meat in particular. Factoring in the attentive service, though, Woomadang sits at a solid 4 stars.

Could not be more delighted that there is finally a proper KBBQ option in the Redmond area! The AYCE here is very solid - we tried all of the options aside from the pork and beef Bulgogi and the standouts were the ribeye and brisket. If you order AYCE, you're given unlimited access to the hot food bar with rice, a variety of side dishes, chicken wings, and tteokbokki. Despite it being a busy Saturday afternoon, we were seated quickly and service was ample and friendly. The only caveat here is the price - AYCE is $55 a person but if you arrive with a ravenous appetite it is definitely worth your while.
