Okay. I knew I was possibly setting myself up for disappointment. By nature, BBQ loses quality as…read morethe day progresses. Once the meat gets pulled from the pits, the clock is ticking. The chances of keeping even a perfect brisket tender and juicy by the dinner service are very slim. It's possible, depending on how you portion and hold the product. But it's unlikely. If your one of those people who stand in line several hours before a place opens in Central Texas, you might have a shot. I took my chances and went on a Sunday, about 5:30pm. I can't say I'm disappointed, because I knew the odds. The brisket was sliced super thin. Probably less than 1/8" thick. Very lean. No trace of fat cap or streaks of fat. It wasn't bone dry, but it wasn't super moist either. Some more fat content would've helped the cause. It was generously sauced and flavorful. But it wasn't as tender and juicy as it could've been The food came out lightning fast, so I was surprised the fries were as good as they were. They were made before I got there if they made it to the plate before I even got my drink from the soda fountain. But they were hot, crispy and tasty. The beans were flavorful, but I think some fat drippings would've improved it. There were noticeable bits of meat (brisket and burnt ends) mixed in with the beans, but it lacked that special something. And heck, they invented cholesterol meds for a reason. The service at the counter was genuinely friendly. Not the fake friendly you get from the budtender at a cannabis shop who wants to know what you're doing this weekend and if you're going to the Dave Matthews concert later... I usually complain about prices in the Seattle area. $26.49 for the brisket sandwich and 2 sides. With a little over 20% tip ($6.00) that came to $35.24. But with a unlimited soft-serve included for dessert? (the machine is in the dining room). That's very fair (even though I'm a no lactose guy and couldn't partake). If you have a family to feed, that makes this place reasonable. They also get props for the suggested tip options on the tablet. Their max option is 16%. I still chose "other" and entered a dollar amount. And thank god this isn't one of those hipster places. It's a nice place with a pleasant, genuinely comfortable atmosphere. Plenty of seating inside and outside. And its worth noting you don't need a combination number, secret password or safecracking skills to use the restroom. It's just a normal door to a restroom. My faith in humanity is restored.

I recently dined at DoSi and I have to say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was welcoming, and the staff was incredibly attentive and friendly. The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the beef belly. It was perfectly marbled and cooked to absolute perfection right at our table. The flavor was rich, tender, and simply melted in our mouths. Every bite was a savory delight, and it truly set this KBBQ experience apart from others I've had. The rest of the menu was just as impressive, with a wide variety of meats and sides that complemented each other beautifully. The quality of the ingredients was evident in every dish, and the portion sizes were generous. If you're looking for a top-notch KBBQ spot, DoSi should be at the top of your list. Don't miss out on the beef belly--it's a game-changer. I'll definitely be returning. read more

Do Si Korean BBQ is hands-down the best KBBQ spot I've been to! I came here to celebrate my friend Hallie's birthday, and everything about this place was a 10/10 -- the food, the service, and the ambiance. The quality of the meats, appetizers, and sides is absolutely worth the price. You can taste the care they put into everything they serve. The staff were incredibly accommodating, even though our group accidentally stayed six minutes past closing time. The manager was warm, understanding, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Their hospitality truly set this experience apart. My friends and I have officially claimed this as our KBBQ spot. Whether you're coming from the south (Tacoma area) or the north (Seattle area), it's 100% worth the drive. Can't wait to come back for another amazing meal! read more

We had a reservation for 4 PM on a Sunday and enjoyed the Supreme AYCE for $48.95 per person. The Pork Jowl, Angus Beef Ribeye, and Angus Beef Boneless Short Ribs were outstanding. We also loved our Somaek Tower, which was $55, and appreciated the ice cream served at the end. It was a bit disappointing that the Beef Tongue was thinly sliced rather than the thicker cut we preferred. The staff was friendly and helpful, keeping us informed about the last call timing. The restaurant was spacious, with K-pop music and music videos creating a lively atmosphere. Parking was easy, thanks to the available parking lot. read more

Our family eagerly welcomed a new KBBQ joint to the neighborhood, but my recent visit uncovered a fusion approach instead of the expected authentic Korean experience. Disappointingly, the flavors, particularly the banchan, didn't meet our expectations. Additionally, the quality of the meat didn't justify the price point. Considering the experience, one might find better options by driving to Federal Way or Renton. read more

Mind you, we're all moms who were just looking for somewhere casual to eat and wind down after karaoke, and I definitely was *not* expecting the vibe here. It was... bizarre, to say the least. I don't really know how else to describe it. It didn't feel like somewhere a group of moms would casually grab dinner. The atmosphere has a very gritty, old-school Korean drinking-joint vibe, almost like one of those pocha scenes from a K-drama where coworkers come after work to drink soju and unwind. Dim, casual, a little rough around the edges, and definitely more focused on drinking and late-night socializing than a relaxed dinner atmosphere. Maybe we just weren't the target demographic, but the atmosphere wasn't really our scene. I didn't think about the name of the restaurant literally meaning Korean Pocha, until after we arrived. We actually considered leaving after sitting down at a table since the vibe felt off and service was slow, but we were already there so we committed. Regarding food, everything tasted okay. Nothing was necessarily bad, but nothing stood out enough that I'd want to make the roughly 40 minute drive back here either. The service was also pretty subpar and didn't make the experience any better. We were curious about the Zodiacal Peach on the menu and asked about it, hoping for a dessert, but the explanation we got wasn't particularly helpful. We decided to take a chance anyway because we were curious and... it was legitimately just peaches?? It was good but for the price, absolutely not. At least now we know, but I definitely wouldn't order that again. Washington has no shortage of Korean restaurants, and out of all the ones I've tried so far, K-Pocha unfortunately falls pretty low on my list. Between the atmosphere, mediocre service, and food that was fine but forgettable, I really couldn't care less about making the drive back.

We tried again a week or so later as my work is close by and we wanted something quick and affordable as we had a comedy show to go to afterwards.

Once we had ample time to glance over the menu which honestly had the right amount of items, I got the udon and shrimp tempura while my boyfriend got their Philadelphia roll and chicken katsu. Our waitress asked if we were fine with water and I didn't see a drink section on the menu but they do offer fountain drinks, canned drinks and hot tea.

This Korean-Mexican fusion restaurant had me and my friends overestimating how much we could eat…read moreeven before we ordered... which is to say the food looks temptingly delicious AND it's a high recommend! We got here on a Friday night around 6pm and it wasn't busy at all. Inside is extremely casual with the carpet floors and bright lights closer to the counter. It's a place I can see getting full at peak hours given the limited seating inside. Parking for this place is relatively easy to find; the parking lot was big and virtually empty when I got there. You order up at a kiosk at the register, and after that things are hands-off with the napkins, sauces, utensils and water. The servers then bring your food to your table and you can enjoy from there. Menu consists of regular Korean dishes, mandus (Korean dumplings) and Korean-inspired burritos. We got plenty of stuff: - The pan-fried mandus (pork, veggies, tofu, glass noodles) were pan-fried just right with enough burn marks to satisfy my appetite here. The provided sauce was definitely better than just having plain soy sauce. Regular pan=fried dumplings but I love them! - The meat lover's fries had spicy pork and bulgogi beef along with cheese. It made the plain fries so much better! - The Korean sweet & spicy chicken wings were pretty small but they packed a lot of spice and flavor. - The real winner here was the bulgogi steak burrito, which had a lot of bulgogi meat, cheese, cilantro, white rice and other things all wrapped in a burrito wrapping. This by itself was larger than I thought and took up the bulk of my meal. I would advise not to get as many things as my friends and I did if you get this. It's packed with flavor, very delicious and also very big for $12.99. It was so much bulgogi meat in one meal but this was one of the best things I've had in a while!
