Second time here, first time was about 8 years ago and food was decent and more recent about 2 weeks ago. Food was so salty i couldnt eve eat it :(. Everybody's food at our table was salty unfortunately. For such high price I would love to enjoy what I'm eating w/o being overly salted. Vibes were off. Our party had a pregnant person and she wasn't allowed to bring her personal water bottle inside, they made her put it away in the car. I was honestly flabbergasted. I wouldn't give them another chance. read more

The food here taste amazing and the service is fantastic. Our server was so sweet and we appreciated that she was very friendly and cheerful! She checked up on us to make sure we were ok a handful of times. We came a bit earlier than the usual dinner time so it was a little less busy than what dinner probably usually would be. The atmosphere is very pleasant. We appreciate and want to thank the staff for being accommodating to me and my service dog and even going as far as to ask if he would like some water . Probably the best service I have had in a long time anywhere. Note for future visitors. If you are coming in after 4PM it would be best to make a reservation unless you are okay waiting a bit. But be prepared for it to get busy because the food here is amazing, so it is a pretty popular lunch/dinner destination. read more

One of the nicest restaurants in Kent. However, at night, the location was not the safest; we parked in a side street. We had a bad first impression because the hostess was quite rude, there were lots of people crowded at the door, and it was very loud and smoky inside. We waited 10 minutes to be seated despite having a reservation, but once we were seated, it was smooth sailing and the food was very good. We had a wonderful, sweet and genuine waitress. They will ask if you want fruit in your water (orange, cucumber, lemon, etc). - Chuleta de Ribeye: incredibly flavorful, smoky and a massive portion! Get this, you won't regret it! - Vacio Wagyu: extremely tender and served rare on a sizzling stone with rosemary and salt so you can cook and season it to your preference. - Tuetanos: we were unsure why this is so highly recommended - it was shallow so there was less marrow than expected. The marrow was oily and rich but not divine. The bread was wonderful and would've been better if it was toasted. You can ask for more though! The presentation was superb. - Flan: perfect to finish off the meal. It was silky and denser than pudding. Our favorite was the chocolate, then traditional, then coconut. I was surprised by how active the experience of eating was. It was fun to build your own mouthfuls with sides of flour/corn tortillas and try the different sauces. The sauces were both a bit spicy and the green one was grassy and oily. One thing I could've done without was the Cotija cheese because it was lightly salty without much flavor. The star of the show was definitely the meat, but I've also heard great things about their baked potatoes! Our clothes smelled like smoke at the end of the night - a reminder of a memorable meal. read more

Came here on Wednesday night around 6:30 pm and had to wait around 30 min for a table for 2. Parking is kind of weird you have to park on the side of the street and there's a lot of puddles on the right side. If you are sitting inside be prepared to leave the restaurant smelling like smoked meat . This was our second time here and we got the roasted potato again with bacon cheese and a crema sauce that always hits and is so massive. It's only $3 more to add meat to it but we were also getting the carne asada plate so we didn't do it this time. The carne asada plate was definitely the highlight of the meal and it comes loaded with meat and this time it had such a good char while being tender. It comes with 4 pretty big tortillas that would get you full if you share this plate with another person. My tip is to definitely cut all the meat before you start digging in or else if you eat the meat in large chunks it's really chewy. The green sauce that comes on the side combined with the salsa that comes on the plate is also so good we asked for extra. Only negative i would have to say is it really felt like the server was judging us with his tone for us not ordering more food since we were sharing 1 app and 1 entree or getting any drinks. I hope they know that not every customer is out to celebrate and drink lavishly... if we could make our own choices without being judged that would've been great. read more

Great food and portion! Mixing Mexican and steak flare together. Cocktails were delicious

Steak isn't worth eating next to a stranger. I would rather the wait time be 40 minutes than be eating shoulder to shoulder to someone in the dining area like it's a bar. read more

The food is good, but the restaurant has very poor ventilation. There is a lot of smoke in the dining area, which makes it uncomfortable to sit and enjoy your meal. I hope they can improve the ventilation. read more

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding my recent dining experience at Asadero Prime's Kent, Washington location. I had a reservation for a party of three with a check-in time of 7:25 p.m on June 5th. We were seated promptly and placed our orders shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, what followed was an exceptionally long and frustrating wait for my meal. Throughout the delay, our server repeatedly explained that the issue was related to my Delmonico steak, stating that it was particularly thick and required additional cooking time. However, I had ordered the steak cooked medium, and this explanation became increasingly difficult to understand when the couple seated next to us, who ordered the same steak approximately five minutes before we ordered, received their meal, finished eating, and still I had not received mine. They even commented on the situation themselves and expressed hope that my meal would be comped due to the excessive delay. As time passed, it became apparent that nearly every table seated after us had received and completed their meals while I continued waiting. Even our server acknowledged the situation, stating words to the effect of, "I know everyone is getting their food but you. I haven't forgotten about you. I'm forcing the kitchen to hurry up." What was most disappointing was the complete absence of managerial involvement. The manager on duty walked past our table numerous times during the delay, yet never stopped to acknowledge the issue, apologize, provide an update, or attempt any form of service recovery. By the time my steak finally arrived, the experience had become so frustrating that I had lost my appetite and was unable to enjoy the meal. Afterward, we experienced another lengthy wait for our check. When the bill finally arrived, I was surprised to see that the delayed entrée had not been removed or discounted, nor had anyone spoken with us about the experience or asked how the situation could be made right. I understand that delays can occur in any restaurant. My concern is not simply that my food was delayed, but rather that there was no meaningful communication, no managerial engagement, and no effort to recover the experience despite the obvious service failure that affected my entire table. I would appreciate a response regarding this matter and an explanation of how the restaurant intends to address situations such as this in the future. I chose Asadero Prime expecting a premium dining experience, particularly for a birthday celebration, and unfortunately my experience fell far short of those expectations. read more

Came to Asadero Prime for lunch with some friends because we wanted a solid protein fix, and it did good. We started with a few appetizers to complement our main dishes, the Vacio Wagyu and La Carne Asada Wagyu. We also ordered sides, the Papa Josper and seasonal vegetables, which are not included with the mains. Overall, the quality and flavor were spot-on, perfect for any meat lovers. The Vacio Wagyu comes out on a hot stone skillet, allowing you to cook it to your liking, a unique and fun experience. The restaurant's atmosphere was fine, though a bit dimly lit. Personally, I prefer brighter spaces to better see my food. The parking situation is a little odd, with the lot located across the road, but it's a short walk. Just a heads-up: the prices are on the higher side, and sides come at an extra cost, which add up read more

Asadero Prime is an upscale Mexican restaurant in Kent. We were looking for something more than the barebones Mexican restaurants you usually find. Nice decor. Just a little on the dark side. I sat on a bench that was too wide to lean comfortably back against the wall. Not many customers were there when I arrived at 1:30 but a steady flow of new people kept coming. We had lunch so prices were less than they are for dinner. Still I believe prices are reasonable for the quality of what you get. Service was personable but quite minimal. We had Wagu Vacio tacos off the lunch menu. Cooked rare. Absolutely delicious. I highly recommend this. Their guacamole came with two small fried chips and two pieces of bread! That's a first for me. Interesting. They no longer have beer on tap, just bottled Mexican beer. My main complaint is that I never felt completely comfortable. I've been in hole in the wall places that felt more relaxing. I probably won't be returning but I do think that you should give it a try. read more

Asadero Prime - Australia Wagyu - Mexican Near Me - Kent, Washington

Probably my fave place I tried while in Kent. Very yummy food! Lately steak hasn't been hitting my tummy right. BUT this high quality meat was delish and I felt fine afterwards. I ordered the Wagyu Carne Asada perfectly thin cut with side of nopal and chorizo!! The nopal was cooked to perfection. I tried bone marrow for the first time...learned it's not my thing..but also maybe because it should've had cheese and I don't eat cheese. Worth the try if you're feeling adventurous. The grilled onions were one of my faves, they were soaked in a soy like juice. Juicy!! The service was nice. We were there celebrating two birthdays! We had so much food no room for desert. Cute hidden restaurant, very nice! Parking in front and on side in lot. We would definitely go again! read more

Me and my brother ate here today. Food was delicious. It's always better when served by a beautiful waitress. Thank You Victoria for your great service and conversation!! Loved the vibe. James read more

Great food, I like the steaks, baked potato, roasted cauliflower, i asked for extra chimichuri sauce and it was 3$ for a small portion. Service is hit or miss they are super busy so you have to flag them down when you need something. The kids will eat lots here, they have a kids menu with 3x simple tacos for $11, this was a great deal since it was all meat. The waitlist is stressful, I come from Bellevue so it won't allow me to get in the waitlist until I'm 10 miles out. So I get in my car drive to the landing at exit 5 to put myself on the waitlist and then find out that it's a 2 hour wait .. they should increase this to 20 mile radius. read more

There is a small parking lot right in front of the place but there is a bigger parking lot on the side of the building across the street. The place is a little small and it gets very busy so it might seem a little crowded but cute place. The service was amazing. Waiter was very attentive and they were cleaning our table right away with any dirty dishes. The food was amazing. Everything we had was so good! The steak were great ! A bit pricey but worth it especially if you haven't tried different types of steak. My favorite was the Australian rib eye. For dessert I got the flan trio. read more

Absolutely delicious and insanely worth the very well priced meats. We tried a bunch of dishes and they were all fabulous. Favorites: Bone marrow - must get if you like bone marrow. Rajitas poblanas - soooo good. Can't beat the peppers, corn and cream combo! Perfect on the crostini. Vacio wagyu - love that it's served on a sizzling hot stone. The meat is just absolutely tender and melt in your mouth!! This is probably one of my favorite cuts of steak ever. Tip: start cutting and eating it as soon as served if you prefer medium rare or let it sit longer/cook longer if you prefer it more well done. Okay dishes: Papa loca - giant baked potato topped with the usual baked potato toppings but with added mountain of wagyu carne asada. Loved that there was no skimping on the wagyu!! LOVED the wagyu but could do without the rest of the baked potato ha! Guacamole - great if you like guac, I'm just personally not an avocado girl Horchata - good but very sweet Lengua (wagyu beef tongue) with salsa verde - very good, super tasty, moist and soft but personally not my jam. Hugeeee pieces of beef tongue, you can literally see the tongue details, a little too much for me! Would definitely come back if I have the chance for those above listed favorites! read more

Food was amazing. Sides are large and plenty share. Steak was cooked perfectly. The steak on the hot skillet was a neat concept.

Presentation, taste, service recommend 100%, phenomenal. Parking is interesting, just park on the street, not the restaurants fault just a recommendation. California guy here so just my thoughts. If you order the wagyu get some fresh tortillas with that bad boy and enjoy every bite like I did! And don't forget to order the bone marrow appetizer, if you are good with the texture it is a winner, I wore half of it on my shirt because I couldn't stop. read more

Never a disappointment! I've tried a variety of dishes over the years but the vacio wagyu is my go to.

Absolutely terrible experience from beginning to end. I tried booking a corporate party of 11. Since there's no online reservation system, I called. They took my info... and then nothing. I called THREE more times, still never got the manager, only the hostess who clearly had no answers. Days later, I finally get an email saying they require a $100 hold for a party of 11--other restaurants do not usually need this kind of hold. Especially when they couldn't even bother to answer calls or confirm anything properly. Day of the event, the chaos continues. I called to ask if we should be added to a waitlist--they said no. It's a Tuesday. "You'll be fine." I reminded them we were 11 people. Still, "No waitlist needed." Right before arriving, I called again to check the wait time. Hostess said there was no wait as long as "all parties are present." Fine. We show up in waves--like any normal group would--and there's a big empty table literally ready for us. The restaurant had maybe eight customers total. We were 1 person away from being sat down. And yet the hostess REFUSED to seat us. Not even to let us sit while waiting for ONE more person. We were already crowding the entrance. A big table was open. And the manager? Standing around, watching, saying NOTHING. No help, no flexibility, no common sense. Just the hostess repeating some ridiculous "company policy" as if it justifies treating customers like this. After several attempts trying to reason with them, it was painfully clear: They did not care. Not about customer service, not about business, and definitely not about a corporate party ready to spend money. What makes this worse? I knew this place back when they were a tiny hole-in-the-wall restaurant. I used to vouch for them hard. But now? The ego is unreal. You can't even seat a group while they wait? Other restaurants do it every day without a problem. This entire manager/hostess interaction was embarrassing--for them. A disaster from the first phone call to the moment we all walked out. Never again. This Kent location needs a full reevaluation, the manager and the hostess, the "company policy" and how they treat customers--because this was unacceptable on every level. Agave restaurant took our business and it turned out into a great night! They get the 5 stars! read more

Underwhelming experience. Walked in to a smoke house. It was uncomfortable for the eyes to be in that much smoke. Half of the things we wanted from the menu were not available.

The food was as amazing as I rememebered from my last visit here. Seating was a bit of a challenge since we showed up during peak lunch time on a Friday afternoon. The staff got us seated after approx 20 min wait (not bad since we had no reservation) and we immediately got some drinks and food ordered. We opted for the Steakhouse Burger, Wagyu Vacio Tacos (4), Pescado Halibut Tacos (3) and Buenos Aires Torta dishes. All the meats were cooked to medium since we like our meat on the more tender side. The tacos came with some extra items on the side, but they were tender enough to not need a thing added to them--cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, chipotle cream. The meat on the Wagyu tacos was so tender that it was so hard to eat slowly and savor every bite. The halibut tacos were also pretty delicious and melt in your mouth good. The meat on the Buenos Aires dish was cooked to perfection and the greens were a perfect balance to the baguette and meat. The chimichurri sauce was lightly drizzled on and added to the flavors of the dish. The steakhouse burger was also cooked to perfection and had a nice chipotle sauce plus the challah bun helped keep this burger together. The burger also came with a small serving of potato bites, but I concentrated all of my efforts on eating the burger. Considering how much stuff we had (lots of entrees, a tequila shot and 2 glasses of wine) we expected it to take a lot longer to get our entrees. Wait time was minimal and the food was delicious. This is my second time here and it definitely didn't disappoint. The atmosphere wasnt super loud and people were able to have conversations easily and at a medium volume range. Whenever I'm in town in Kent I'll make sure to stop by. Worth the trip, if you ask me. read more

Food was amazing go with the Australian ribeye it really is worth the award it received! Skip grandmas rice, I thought it would live up to the description but we should have passed. The Australian steaks is what we ordered; all three on the menu and we loved them all. To me the Ribeye was the AllStar! It comes out on a stone and they were all cooked to perfection. If you order the cheese appetizer like we did save some, melt if even better on the stone and have a little bit with the bite of steak. Oh my goodness it was amazing. The rice pudding is sure to please very creamy and excellent flavor. The server was amazing from the orange slice in my water to explaining the menu. He was great. Although it just looks like a family style eatery and basic don't let that fool you. Great location for birthday or special meals. This should be on your list. Great steak house! read more

Asadero Prime - Good wine! - Mexican Near Me - Kent, Washington

Asadero Prime is where steak dreams come true and your diet goes to die--happily. Their Wagyu steaks are so tender and juicy that you might consider writing "them" a thank-you note. The smoky mesquite aroma hits you the second you walk in, and by the time the sizzling Wagyu medium rare steak or La Carne Asada Plate hits your table, you're already plotting your next visit. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is lively, and you'll probably leave grinning--and maybe loosening your belt a notch. If loving great steak is wrong, Asadero Prime makes you feel cared for! I got so caught up in talking about the food that I forgot about how great my margaritas were. Glad I was going home in an Uber because I needed it after three of them. Take my advice go eat here when you want a good steak. Period!!! read more

!! Warning !! I went to asadero a year and a half ago and had the A5 Wagyu. The next two days I was seriously ill with typical symptoms and fever. It took about a week to fully recover. Yesterday I finally went back. My colleague had the Australian ribeye. He is now spending the day sick in his hotel room.

Food: My prime carne con chile was very good. The sauce had a nice kick, and the rice and beans were top notch. Some of the chunks of beef were tender, and others were a bit tough. I could have done without the tough ones. My boyfriend's tacos del patron (ribeye tacos) were good. The ribeye was nice and tender, and the tacos were big. Our friend shared a bite of his New York strip, and it was also quite good. Our server was very friendly, but he did not bring us a second bottle of water when ours was nearly empty. Parking is in a lot across the street. The place is pretty small, so you'll definitely want to make reservations. The bathroom I used was clean. I would definitely eat here again! read more

Service was terrible. Got in a 30 minute wait, waited for an hour and a half and they seated a 20 person Group who wasn't in the waitlist before us. Incredible food but terrible management.

Our first interaction was with the hostess. I asked for a chair for my 75y/o disabled family member due to the expected wait and we were told 3-4 times that they do not provide chairs to sit and wait, not even one for the disabled elderly waitimg over an hr to try the food in their restaraunt. I let the hostess know we had taken a car service and don't mind waiting if they could please give one chair for my elderly disabled family member. We were told no and our option was to stand or sit outside on the curb where it was dark and cold while we wait. After escorting my family member to the curb, I went back in and found PLENTY of available chairs sitting in an unused hallway. Your hostess needs more training, more ADA training. I purposely left out any of the other details of the night because this was pretty foul customer service. I don't know anyone who has a heart and soul that could tell an elderly that can't stand for long that they can't have a chair. We chose to spend our money at this restaurant and this was how we were treated from the start. read more

I can't stop ranting about this place and I'm disappointed that I didn't come sooner. The service was great, I had low expectations for this place since I've been to other steak houses where the meat didn't have flavor or there wasn't a good sauce to pair with BUT this place did everything and beyond, from the guacamole and tostadas to the ribeye and salsa flight. The chuleta ribeye was so tender so flavorful, I usually an a picky person for salsa that's not made from home but they had this amazing salsa rojo that comes on the flight with salsa verde pickled onions and pico de gallo. Even the drinks were strong and flavorful. This place does not disappoint it's definitely worth your money!!! We spent about $300 with tip for 2 appetizers, 5 drinks, 2 entrees. I will definitely come back again ;) read more
