First thing first I went with my cousin to eat here on 4-10 and we got a sit pretty fast and we didn't have to wait that long. And everyone was so nice to us and keep checking on us if we were good and if we want to order more or not. The meat quality here was so good and it was just perfect so me and my cousin try most of the meat there and there was not smell to it. I would 100% go back to this place to eat again. read more

Stephen and Nancy were our servers and they were both incredibly friendly, efficient, and amazing servers! Thank you Stephen and Nancy for making our visit so special! :) My partner and I decided to drop by to try Do Si KBBQ and we're so glad we did. The service was amazing, music was great, and they even had LoL games up on a screen which was chef's kiss! Iykyk ;) Meat quality was great, they had an amazing selection of appetizers/side dishes, and it was very clean inside. I was surprised at the quality of the appetizers... especially the bean paste soup and crispy pancake. S-tier! Everything came out fresh and this was probably our best KBBQ experience we've had in WA. Definitely recommend!! read more

Came in for a date night meal, and it was great as usual. The service from the team was attentive and top tier. The premium pricing went up from 38.50 to 41.50 but you get a ton of variety which is nice. Appetizers are included, so you can't go wrong with that. Our favorites were the LA Galbi, and the thinly sliced pork belly. The potato salad and bean sprouts had a strange taste, almost like dishwater which threw us off for those bites. Radish and the kimchi cucumbers were great though. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could, highly recommend it but beware of the banchan... read more

Ambience. A Service. A Food. A Price. A Found in strip mall with lots of parking. Nicely decorated and clean. Service friendly walking in and getting table at 12:30 on a Sunday. We went for All you can eat and upgraded to premium pkg to get premium meats. Loved pretty much everything except the r shell in shrimp was difficult and messy to eat. LOVE the galbi short ribs/. Gochujang Chicken was tender even when I burnt one side. Recommend changing grills when too much charcoal builds up. Service was up in changing many times. Grill changes happens frequently when sauces burn into the grill. Lots of free banchan refills and. Ice variety. Also they have barley tea. I wish we had ordered more but we got full after 90 mins. The table tried beef tongue first time and they liked knowing its thinly sliced. Quite a drive from downtown Seattle. Took me 45 mins. And thank goodness for GPS. I am a fan ! read more

This place is awesome. The food is great, fresh, not too salty, the side dishes are perfect, and the service is good so you can get enough to eat - meaning you can order often and get the hot plate changed out quick! Highly recommend going here during the week since the weekends are crazy busy. And free ice cream at the end. :) read more

Do Si Korean BBQ - Kbbq - Korean Near Me - Kent, Washington

I've been to Do Si a couple of times, but I actually haven't had the chance to try the Korean BBQ yet, so this review might need to be updated later. My last visit, I ordered the beef bibambap and I was very happy with the portion size and the banchan (side dishes). The staff here were so friendly and very attentive! This place has some of the best service for a KBBQ place that I've experienced. I didn't feel like I had to try to get anyone's attention as I was checked on very often. The parking here is easy and I had basically no wait time even though I went on a Saturday night. It definitely gets really busy here but I'm glad to have another solid option for Korean food. Overall, I'd say that this is a place to check out if you're in/near the area, though maybe not one to go out of your way for. Personally, I will definitely be coming back here again. read more

Do Si Korean BBQ - Beef Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Kent, Washington

The last time we ate here we realized that as we get older we can no longer do all you can eat. So it's great we can just order whatever a la carte via the menu. Place is always clean, staff is always cordial with us. Since we are trying to get healthy we can only commencing a while for special occasions. So glad we live around the corner. If we ever crave kbbq we can just walk over. read more

Very good quality short ribs! And despite being unlimited, their service is Tre rice and amazing! We will be back again soon!

Located in Kent in a plaza with plenty of parking. Upon entering, they have a device you can use to check in the event there is no one at the front desk. There's plenty of seating and the music is very up beat along with TVs literally everywhere. The service itself was really great. I would argue to say that it's the best service I've ever received from a KBBQ spot all around. We were always checked in on and not once did we ever have to wave anyone down to ask for something. Whenever they'd see we were low on anything, they'd come over and ask if we needed more water, wanted more meat, or just wanted to order anything else like our grill changed. 5/5 to their staff for sure! The food itself was good, we definitely had the meats we liked more. I would personally say to stick with the beef items if you're not a fan of that gamey pork taste as it was strong, even when you dip it into the sauces they give. We enjoyed that they had beef tongue and that's what we ordered most of the time alongside the other beef items. The Banchan was what you'd normally expect, no complaints there. As far as the side appetizers we ordered, we really liked the crispiness of the fries and the corn cheese was good too. Personally, I'd say not to order the chicken wings. The bones were broken on almost all the flats I ate and the flavors were nothing special. read more

Definitely a go to spot with great customer service even on a busy night! We've been here a few times now and they've been consistent with quality and customer satisfaction We do the AYCE option which has a large selection of meat to pick from and appetizers as well. You get to pick up to 4 types of meat and 2 appetizers each round and with the service they provided they made sure we were ready for our next round every time. The quality of meat is good and the sides are great! At the end of your meal they also provide complimentary ice cream too! Excellent place for KBBQ read more

If you want to get your kbbq fix this place will deliver. One the things i appreciate is how attentive the staff is to your needs and wants. If you need more meats and seafood to throw on your grill, they appear within minutes. They have good situational awareness; if your grill has heavy char and need changing, they will notice it and have it swapped out with a clean one. They even give the courtesy of including a piece of pork fat for you to to rub on your grill plate. Their short ribs and bulgogi is nicely marinated, and their banchan dishes are fresh. Reasonably priced menu. I will be coming back soon! read more

Really pleased with this place and didn't know what to expect as it was the only cream place in the area when looking for some good barbecue. Great service and I loved the little entrées they had on the side and unfortunately, I ate all of them before the flu was ready, but I ordered them again great beef selection and what not I love the barbecue. It just had great flavor and everything was tasty a little hidden gentlemen in the area. read more

First visit! Love the experience! Place is nice and cozy (AC was a big high... maybe BBQ makes a lot of heat that's why). Serves were very good. They check our table and change grills often!! They don't have many entrees. Both of us ordered the small mix BBQ combo, tofu soup, and fried chicken. Port of the meats were big. Meats were very fresh and marinated flavors were good. Little recommendations, I think server should use a holder to hold the dirty grill pan after they changed it tho... the oil from the dirty grill pan makes the floor so slippery.... I almost slipped when I was there tho. Other than that, we had a great experience. For sure we will return! read more

Pros and cons of this place Pros: -Really good service -Really good sides (loved the radish wraps, fish cake, etc.) -Meats were pretty good (some cuts were questionable...) -Appetizers were amazing (LOVED the crispy pancake, cheesecorn) -Pretty good selection of meat Cons: -Pricey! It was $50 per person (including gratuity of 5+ people) - We really disliked that we only could get 2 appetizers at a time. - Although it's AYCE it took a while for them to come back and start a new order for those. There was 5 of us, and sharing two appetizers was hard at a time. - parking in this area was horrible - the table is pretty long, so it makes it hard for people to reach over and get stuff. It's hard to explain but it was hard to coordinate here lol. - pork was super thick... it was also a little gamey. The SHRIMP WAS SOOOO SALTY. I felt my blood pressure going up LOL. -ambiance was very casual read more

So exciting to experience the first kbbq place in Kent! Do Si has two different types of ayce: lunch and dinner. While also have lunch specials through the week and an a la carte menu as well. They have a wide variety/cut of meats, being unseasoned to seasoned and an exceptional amount of appetizers you can choose from too! As a reminder they do limit you to four meats/appetizers and WILL CHARGE you for leftovers. Cute part of the meal is you get ice cream for dessert! Service can vary at times... but overall they are all fairly nice to everyone. Do Si is quite spacious, with a decent amount of seating. And the vibes are great because they have music and videos playing throughout the restaurant. I will say that you won't really smell too much like kbbq on your way out because of how well they ventilate the restaurant haha. read more

Korean BBQ a little closer to home! we did the premium all you can eat which came with beef belly (so tender and flavorful), kalbi beef ribs (nice cut and well flavored), and super thin pork belly which of course was also delicious! Unlimited sides (no potato salad at the moment ) but none the less good! The cheesy corn was a little dry after it cooled down could use more butter or mayo. The staff are nice and accommodating with two under 5. The unlimited included fried chicken and fries (ask for no spicy mayo on top if u have kids) which was perfect for our picky little eaters. Restaurant was clean, decor was cute, music a little loud but overall we will def be back! read more

I remember this place used to be a hotpot restaurant, but I'm glad it's now a KBBQ spot. We made a reservation for AYCE with a large group, but we got stuck in traffic and arrived a bit late. We called ahead, and the staff was very accommodating and held our table, which was great since the wait would have been long without a reservation. Overall, the staff was friendly, and the service was nice. Their AYCE menu includes some unique appetizers for a KBBQ place, like chicken wings and fries. The fries and wings were just okay - not something I'd typically get at KBBQ. We tried new items each round, but our favorite was the beef bulgogi. It's a bit disappointing that they don't offer steamed egg on the AYCE menu, though. At other KBBQ places, I'm used to getting a small piece of butter each round for grilling. I'm not sure if Do Si offers butter, as we didn't receive any. Instead, we were given a very tiny piece of pork belly fat, which didn't work well for oiling the grill and caused the food to burn easily. One of the servers noticed and kindly offered to cook the next round for us. I was curious to see his technique, but he just used a squeeze bottle of oil, which worked much better than the tiny piece of pork fat we had. The portion sizes didn't seem adjusted for the size of our party, so the servings were a bit too small for everyone to share. They offered free ice cream at the end. For parties of five or more, there's an automatic 18% gratuity. However, someone in our group ended up double-tipping because he was simply handed the payment machine to select a tip amount. It'd be nice if there was a reminder. read more

I love Do Si! The quality of the meats, the fun ambience and kind employees are phenomenal ! Our server, Ronnie, went above and beyond for us on my birthday. Not only was he super attentive, but he had our group laughing the whole time and even helped show us how long to cook the meat to ensure the tastiest flavors. Will be coming back very soon :-) read more

The service here was very good! The server kept on coming around to make sure that we were okay and making sure that we always had our choices of meats and appetizers! The food here is good and seasoned well depending on what meat items you choose. The seasoned items we ordered were the Cajun Shrimp and beef short ribs. I haven't really had corned cheese in a restaurant before, but I can say that I really liked it! I was so full and couldn't eat for the rest of the day! The restaurant itself is nice inside and real cool chill vibe. I would definitely come here again and recommend that you try Do Si Korean BBQ when craving some KBBQ. read more

I actually came all the way down from Bellingham to try this place with a friend and it was awesome. There's no good AYCE places up here in Bham and I moved from California where there's a ton so was happy to find this gem. The servers were super attentive and changed the grills often, the meats themselves were great, loved the selection they offered and the banchan was also good. The atmosphere was also nice, the inside is very upbeat and roomy for a KBBQ joint. Definitely will be back, hopefully soon. read more

Serving is small and not that great of service. Came here with my kids and grandparents and was very underwhelmed

A fairly new Korean BBQ spot located off the Kent-Kangley Road. The restaurant is located inside a plaza, so parking was not an issue for me. The inside is well decorated and feels welcoming. There are lots of TV screens playing different music videos and sports channels. My friend and I had planned to come in on a Sunday at about 11:45AM to do all you can eat. Once we were seated, to view the menu there are QR codes to scan that are on the table. We decided to do the premium dinner ($38.95) rather than the supreme dinner ($48.95). Supposedly there is a 90-minute limit, but I don't think they are too strict about it because we were there for about two hours. Each round you can order up to four types of meat and two appetizers. We were only capable of doing barely two rounds since we were getting quite full. Here is what we ordered: - Thinly Sliced Beef Brisket - Pork Belly - Beef Bulgogi - LA Galbi - Thinly Sliced Pork Belly - Buldak Chicken - Marinated Squid - Do Si Fried Chicken Wings (3pcs) - Japchae These are the sides/banchan that came along with our order: - Salad - (2) Dipping Sauces - (2) Steamed Rice - Kimchi - Pickled Daikon - Daikon Kimchi - Garlic Zucchini - Potato Salad - Bean Sprouts - Broccoli - Fish Cakes - Ice Cream (at the end) We were definitely well taken care of from our server, Brandon (I believe). He came to check up on us every so often, asked if we needed anything else, and replenished our banchan. Great experience overall and would come again! read more

We came here on new years day! because we were tired of cooking from the holidays haha. Plenty of parking in the strip mall parking lot. Didn't have a reservation, but were seated pretty quickly at 5:45pm. After we sat, it seemed like people were constantly coming in; quite a busy restaurant. We did the premium AYCE (the cheaper one), and certainly we were able to eat enough variety for the evening. I liked how many appetizer dishes we could try especially. There were so many flavors of pork and beef belly. Overall the food we got was good. However, I'd say that most of the meat cuts were ...too fatty? The brisket, for example, was almost entirely fat. And I was sad that the rose wine meats were still spicy, despite them being labelled not spicy :( The place could also use a little better ventilation, I think. The table kbbq grills had pretty good venting, but when they replaced the grills, if they were smoking, it got pretty bad. (also at least once the fat from the grill fell in and set a large fire briefly!) The service was excellent. There were always so many people around to get replacement sides, additional meats, or appetizers! The best part was the portion sizing for the meats/appetizers though-- they were smaller than I'm used to, but that's so good for an AYCE place with attentive servers, because it means we got to try a bunch of different options without having to overcommit to any specific dish! If anyone was going to be in the area and wanted kBBQ, I would certainly recommend this spot! read more

This was a great place for an ayce new years dinner! The service was excellent; very attentive servers who consistently checked whether we wanted any more food and replaced our grill. Every item we ordered was a small portion, which was really nice in an ayce setting to try all the different items (and of course we could reorder stuff if we wanted more). The more "basic" premium dinner ayce menu had plenty of options, and all the appetizers were included as well. It was a really good experience, really bolstered by excellent service. read more

Good food, great service and good vibes. My husband and I really like this KBBQ. We come here often.

Went on a Sunday night an hour before closing and the service was great. Very attentive and they replaced our grill frequently. Our favorite appetizer was the honey chili butter chicken wings. The meats were all delicious and standard quality. The finger tip ribs were our favorite protein, marinated so well and delicious with the ban chans. read more

Explained I drove 37mins from Alki location. Said I was talking to a co worker over 3 times coming to the establishment. When I got there it was told we had to wait another 30 mins. I asked was there a way to accommodate due to a prior 1hr n 30 min wait at Alki location. He said no and there is 7 parties in front of me not knowing I just had someone ask at the front and it was told 4 parties was ahead. Felt like he profiled me due to my appearance. Guess you have to look like money for him to treat you nicely. read more

Came here for lunch and happily discovered that they have a special lunch offer! I opted for the kalbi entrée accompanied by rice and banchan, and my friend got the bibimbap. The array of banchan was wide and satisfying; kabi was bbq-ed perfectly; service was quick and attentive, and the portions were filling. I'm glad I stopped here for lunch and plan to be back! read more

Had to stop by this Korean BBQ place close to home. We weren't super hungry so didn't try the bbq options this time. We ordered the DoSi and butter chili chicken wings, the beef rib Galbi and the kimchi fried rice. Everything was freshly prepared, the sauce on the wings is thick. The DoSi is a vinegar base, tangy and a bit sour. The banchan was plentiful and a nice variety. Got a good amount of ribs with our order. Service was super attentive refilling our banchan and tea multiple times and making sure we were ok. It was very nice to have bottled water and ice cream included in our meal. The interior is cool, with multiple big screens with K-pop videos, as well as sports. Will be back for the bbq! read more

First time trying this place out. Was excited since its the closest KBBQ in Covington. Before we had to go to Federal Way for this. The only downside is the wait time. It does get packed here, so it is highly recommended to pre-register through Yelp on the waitlist. What I liked though, that despite the busyness. They are quick with the service. Food comes out pretty quick and they are very attentive to details. The price is not that bad. I believe its about $35ish per person for the AYCE standard package. The food quality was also pretty good for the price. Just like any KBBQ place, the place is loud, so just be prepared for the typical noise level. Will definitely recommend it and will be back again. read more

My favorite kbbq hands down. I love a large menu offering, and you can easily go 3 rounds without even wanting to repeat (except the brisket is just too damn good and eats so quickly!). Fairly good drink selection, the cheese corn is reeeeally cheesy so hell yes if that's your thing, and I love the sauces they have for their different cuts of meat. read more

We went yesterday (Friday 12/22) 6:30pm so they are still relatively new. The servers seemed really busy despite around mid-way through our dinner in see there were at least 3 empty tables Though a lot of times I had to physically walk up to them for something they were kind and I can see they are trying. They take reservations online! We still had to wait a bit to get seated but we were a group of 9. ********************* Food ********************** Side dishes were good, I liked that they had potato chunks, I thought it was daikon at first . The cucumbers were so crunchy. I liked that among the side dishes- the sprouts, pink daikon, broccoli- were not spicy. The potato and cucumber had a light spice but would be tolerable for those who can't usually eat spicy We ordered the beef and pork kbbq combo. Pork belly was thick cut. The galbi for me wasn't as flavorful as other stores but the friends and husband that came said it was really good, so it's probably just me? The tofu soup had spice but not the crazy numb your mouth spice and it's less spicy than other soup places Chicken wings came with fries and had a light batter (didn't get to try any but it smelled so good and they kids devoured it). Lychee martini, if you are one that likes sweeter cocktail, this one is for you! It's soooo yummy (and sweet) Oh, we ordered the squid dish it was bouncy and right amount of spice. To sum it up their flavors are more mild and it feels less sodium (in a good way). Complimentary ice cream at the end is always very nice! You can choose from strawberry, vanilla and mint chocolate chips We had left over and the bag is so fancy looking and sturdy! read more

Would be 5 stars but there are quite a few things they really need to resolve because it can be quite annoying and a negative experience if this were to occur past their grand opening phase. Food is amazing and the value is comparable to other KBBQ in the area, albeit still a bit pricey. We went here on a Saturday around 1pm and the Yelp waitlist was quoted 11-26 minutes. Sure, wait times can be a bit off sometimes and understandable, but the way they operate can be a luck of the draw, and for us, we got the short end of the stick. It would be around 35 minutes if we were a party ahead, but it took us over 1 hour to get seated. This is because they seat people in batches, even though 2 tables are already cleaned up. If we just showed up at 2pm, we could have just walked in along with the other 4 parties that arrived around that time. We were just made to keep on waiting until the next batch. It was even more annoying that half the restaurant was empty, and we were inefficiently seated at a table meant for 6 people when there was a smaller table available (not that this is a bad thing, but it would be for other people that arrive later) When we finally were seated, every chair was dirty and had a few drips of oil or sauce. I observed the employees cleaning the tables and took their time stacking the dishes and cups, but very hastily cleaned the table, neglecting the chair. Some of the cleaning solution might have gotten to the chair too. I felt that it should be opposite, to clean the table and chairs more thoroughly and worry about the dishes and cups at the back. This is just a suggestion. We redeemed the free small combo from the email, which is worth $79+tax/tip. We thought it was too good to be true but it is true, maybe just time is money and this whole dining experience required a 4 hour block in my day, including the 45 min drive one way down to Kent. Anyways, my review assumes the full price to keep things fair. The small combo is the mixed combo which has beef brisket, short rib, pork belly, marinated pork collar, and a few other nice surprises that I love to see - gopchang (intestine)! This came as a nice surprise because I only really see gopchang served in dedicated restaurants or as an entree in itself for the more traditional Korean restaurant. The meat quality is fairly good, and the quality was not reduced just because the combo was free. I particularly loved the marinated pork collar and the short rib, but the brisket could have a bit more fat to make it easier to put on the grill and get the cooking started. It might also would have been good to have some fat to put on the grill to add a little bit of grease, as the grill itself was not really greased thoroughly. Additionally, the combo came with rice (which they gave generously), banchan (fish cake, bean sprouts, kimchi, broccoli, cucumber, pickled radish, and potato), along with "salad." It is in quotes because it is not even salad as there is no dressing - just straight up lettuce and onions like did they forget to include it? Banchan is free refills but a miss is that they forgot the fish cake and brought an additional kimchi instead, which we didn't really eat. Service overall is okay, not good, not bad, which is acceptable for me. I wouldn't write this place off, but I would recommend trying it out later once they figure things out. However, if you do have the coupon, definitely just be lucky with timing the waitlist or just have a lot of time in your hands. read more

Found this spot from FACEBOOK reels. The food was very delicious, especially the butter sweet chili fried chicken wings! I loved the Cajun Shrimp. I would rate this place a 5/5 when it comes to food and the variety of options. But the service was a 3-4/5 only because service was a bit slow... But the atmosphere is definitely a good spot to eat with friends and family. My man and I loved it! This might just be the go to spot read more

Happy to see that AYCE Korean BBQ has made it to Kent/Covington! FINALLY! The prices are fair when you compare AYCE restaurants across King and Pierce Counties. They're really not far from the median of a lot of the K-BBQ restaurants. We appreciate that this restaurant is AYCE but also has lunch specials for when you're not looking to stuff your tummy. The servers were all friendly and kind. The restaurant is clean. And - we have to add, their takeout containers and bags are gorgeous. Shows their attention to detail. The times we've gone, we've seen a good amount of tables filled with customers. We are so happy to see this part of Kent showing some love for Asian cuisine. Take it from someone who loves AYCE K-BBQ and has been consumer at many different restaurants - this one stacks up. And - I've heard from friends in Des Moines and Seattle who drive down to Kent for this place, so that's something. I wish them all the success in their future. read more

We were excited to try this place but when we sat down we discovered a dirty fork. Also, the food was good but we didn't get the best customer service either. It felt like we were getting brushed off and kind of ignored. We didn't get checked on as much as other tables and had to wait a little for them to take our order. Otherwise, food was good but I'd probably visit at a different location. read more

TLDR: everything is good. Complimentary ice cream to eat after you stuff your face with all the noms My husband and I have gone here a couple of times for an early dinner. It's usually busy which I don't mind at all (that just means the place is good, yeah?!) they have a wait list you can put your name and number and then you can wonder off around the stores, they'll text you an ETA and will update what number you are on their waitlist, I found this to be super convenient. Ordered the AYCE mixed meats. Priced at 38$ I think? Meats were pretty good. I like how you can order sides as well. The drinks here are also pretty good. Atmosphere is chill, and the servers were attentive and friendly as well -- which I appreciated, especially when you see how busy it gets. It peaked my curiosity to see how many steps they get in during a work shift Banchan is are my jam and all the ones they served were all delicious. It's way better than the banchans from other restaurants. I mean, I know we all go to kBBQ for the meats butttttt I mean, I would have been just as happy for AYCE banchn. lol. Anyways, it's great. I give them a solid 4.5 read more
