After seven years, I finally made it back to this K-BBQ staple, and it remains one of the most consistent and high-quality dining experiences I've had. From the premium cuts of meat to the impressive variety of side dishes and soups, every element is executed perfectly. Two things really set them apart: the meat portions are perfectly sized, and the variety of dipping sauces is on another level. Even during a busy service, the staff is attentive and the food comes out incredibly fast. Having traveled and eaten at top-tier spots in Los Angeles and New York City, I can confidently say this place holds its own against the best in the nation. read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Amazing experience! - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

So I went to this restaurant all the time in my early twenties. It was very warm and inviting. The lighting was bright but warm and the booths were this beautiful wood. The prices were still $30 a head. I don't think there was a time limit for how long you could stay then. Now it's $40 a head (which inflation.... I get it) with a two hour limit. My main issue is the ambiance is horrible!!! They painted the big wooden booths with this cheap sticky black paint that's slowly coming off. I was wearing shorts and it was PAINFUL if I got up too quickly. The lighting is cold and uncomfortable. It's not a welcoming place to dine anymore. A completely depressing environment. Everything looks like it's in disrepair and being very poorly maintained. The quality of the meats has gone down as well. The sides were not fresh. Especially the cucumbers. This is no hate to the staff but almost everyone that worked there seemed miserable as well. They did a great job but it just seemed like they all were sad for some reason. I truly think it's the environment. I would hate working at such a depressing restaurant. The staff were attentive and consistently checking on us. They never left us alone for too long! There was one guy with glasses that was exceptional. He was great with the small details of serving. Always pre bused something from the table every time he came by. If you're smart you will bump his hourly and make him a shift manager/ trainer. The staff is the reason I'm not giving one star. Korean culture is vibrant and fun! Please hang up some art work and posters. Hire someone to remove that god awful sticky paint! Which I know you can't clean properly. Change the lightbulbs to warm lighting. Put out some fun decor on the tops of the booths. Make your restaurant into a place people naturally feel happy to be at. Paint over that black wall in the back and fill it from top to bottom with Korean art work as an accent wall! Or put in giant decorative shelves with plants and collectible Korean toys. DO ANYTHING FOR THE LOVE OF GOD. read more

Let's Meat KBBQ is an AYCE KBBQ spot that recently started offering hot pot as well, which is included with the KBBQ pricing. There are ample dining tables inside, but the parking lot is rather tight as it is shared with Seoul Food Meat Company. However, the restaurant does validate parking if you pay for parking so just let them know. The ambiance was not too loud, but it definitely gets busier at lunch or dinner times. I would say that the service was alright. It was nothing special. I found the servers who attended my table to be upbeat and friendly, but I kind of wanted them to come around a bit more and check in on us when we were running low on water or sides. My family mostly ordered the Premium Original Pork Belly and Fatty Beef Brisket along with some vegetables. The pork belly comes out in two strips, which makes it quick to go through. I personally enjoyed the pork belly. It tasted great with the sauces! I did not like the Fatty Beef Brisket that much because it was too fatty (I know the name includes "fatty" but it seemed like the fat to meat ratio on each brisket piece was 2:1 at times). My parents thought that the Premium Steak was tender, but it was a bit too salty for them. Since they are older, they are more careful about sodium intake but I understand that a lot of people prefer more salty foods. But I will say that I found the kimchi and corn cheese a bit salty so maybe it is more than just a taste palate issue. My mom wanted to eat hot pot, but my dad and I were too full to eat more and we were worried about the additional charge if she did not finish some of the food. Also, you cook the food yourself here! This might not seem interesting but at a lot of KBBQ places in Atlanta, the servers always cook for you (which can either be a pro or con depending you). There are not a lot of AYCE KBBQ spots in North Carolina compared to Georgia... where I have been the past few years... so I think my actual rating of this place would be 3.5/5 stars. If you can make the drive to Atlanta, I would go there because there are better options. read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Premium Original Pork Belly and Fatty Beef Brisket - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Let's Meat at Let's Meat KBBQ! Hands down my absolute favorite KBBQ spot in Charlotte. Fun fact: This is Charlotte's FIRST AYCE KBBQ restaurant, which makes it even cooler and they've clearly set the bar high. The restaurant space is roomy, lively, and welcoming, with beautiful wall art that pays homage to Korean culture. The vibe is fun, the music is good, and the staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful, whether it's your first time doing KBBQ or you're a regular KBBQ lover like me. Their operating hours are great! Now let's talk FOOD. The meat and pork quality is LEGIT. I've been to plenty of KBBQ spots, and Let's Meat does not cut corners. The marinades are flavorful, the proteins are well-prepared. They have everything from Kalbi (Korean marinated short rib), pork belly, beef brisket, some seafood options like squid and shrimp, and chicken. The dipping sauces take everything to the next level. Everything's a total flavor bomb. And the banchan?! As a huge banchan lover, I appreciate that they offer unlimited banchan with great variety AND great flavor. So many places skimp on this. Let's Meat KBBQ absolutely does not. They also have amazing Korean street food snacks, like crispy Korean fried tempuras, and their Korean steamed egg (gyeran-jjim) is soft, fluffy, and so comforting- an absolute must-order alongside the grill. The corn cheese is a must. Also, saw some traditional Korean cold noodle- Nengmyun and spicy noodles that I love so will have to come back and get that next time. They offer all-you-can-eat options, which is incredible for the quality and quantity you get. You can also get some vegetable options to grill and you have to get the lettuce to make the perfect bite of all the yummy stuff you get from the grill. On top of that, their drink selection is fun and nostalgic, with a mix of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, including classic Asian drinks I loved growing up and some newer favorites. Bonus: they often run promotional deals, so it's worth following them on social media. The price point is more than fair for the experience, quality, and portions. If you want great food, great vibes, and a great time, go support this local gem. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit. I can't wait to go back to Charlotte and when I do Let's Meat KBBQ! read more

Been a bunch of times, but never had the kalbi till this past week. If you didn't know, they are running a special till 3/31 where certain add ons are included in the AYCE. Kalbi was delicious! We left happy and dreaming about more kalbi. read more

The best KBBQ in Charlotte. The place is great and has great service. Beef Brisket, Dumplings, Steak, & Jalapeño Pork Belly are a must. Great vibe, no rush with the two hours given, and close to uptown and other areas of Charlotte to enjoy before or after dinner at Let's Meat. Parking lot can get full but there is close parking nearby that cost $3 for two hours on "Park It" app. Never a bad experience. read more

The place was not very clean. The steak tasted good, but the portion was extremely small and very thin. The chicken was mediocre at best. Overall, it was way overpriced and honestly one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. 200 bucks down the drain. Servers definitely need more training, and music was so loud you had to almost yell so your server could hear you. read more

Says they'll validate parking but no codes work. But if you don't have park mobile account and use park mobile website they won't validate parking read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Came here with a group of girlfriends on a Thursday. Our waiter (I think his name was Christian?) was great - very attentive and friendly. The meats were great and the price was comparable to other KBBQ places I've been to in the area, but the sides were definitely lacking. The rice had a weird texture (fried and white). The "mashed potato" dish was not what we would have expected based on other experiences. The dumplings were weird, kind of a flat folded over thing instead of a pot sticker or soup dumpling-type shape. Pineapple was definitely canned. Overall would probably go to K Pot instead of this place. read more

I am not sure what has gone on with this restaurant but it has gone down hill since I was there last. The sides were either too water or bland without seasoning. The meat did not taste as good as the last time. We tried several different meats but ended up repeatedly getting the steak. The waiter was very understanding when we asked to remove several banchan due to the bland taste. I wish it was as good as it was back when I first went but I don't know how to improve it. read more

Beautiful Experience here ! My wife loves the Korean culture and this hit the spot ! So many options of meat and great service , out of so many restaurants experience this has exceeded my expectations. read more

It was okay. Not the best but definitely not the worst. My biggest struggle with this place was it's all you can eat until you order galbi. This is an added charge of $16 dollars or so. I didn't mind paying for this premium meat...however when we got the dish, it was two slices and not very good quality. Would I go here again? Only if I wanted to walk to get kbbq. read more

Sucks they closed. This was the spot for awhile for me! Living in Greensboro, I used to drive here once or twice a month to get this jalapeño pork belly. Service was always on point and I love the design of the place minus the wood seating. If you want similar, iron dish is really really good! Highly recommend read more

This is my new favorite for Kbbq! The meat is good quality, but the flavors of the side dishes are what really make this place stand out from the others. I have not had Kbbq this good since my trip to South Korea. As I was eating, I was already looking forward to coming back. Went by myself this time, so can't wait to return with my friends to try even more items on their menu! read more

Food was top tier went to celebrate my sons bday we opted in for the regular menu, premium didn't really have much other than lamb, wagu(+12$), and some other stuff you can still get by on high quality with the regular menu. Service was great, the gentleman that served us made my son's day, and was very attentive although it was a busy Friday night. We look forward to dinner here again in the near feature read more

Last weekend I had an early dinner at Let's Meat. I've been to a few Korean BBQ restaurants. It was a pleasant experience, and although it wasn't my favorite kbbq ever, we were satisfied. Pros: Great service in casual atmosphere. We lucked out with our waitress (the blonde haired lifesaver who helped us tremendously when we struggling to cook the food properly). They give you a coupon code with a $2.00 credit for parking (although the code I received was invalid). Bulgogi was on the menu, and it was easily the best item they offer. The prices listed didn't exceed $30.00 pp like most of the Korean BBQ places I've tried. Cons: Parking may be a smidge of a pain. The menu was pretty limited. Less meat and side options than all of the other similar restaurants I've tried. The helpers weren't too friendly. Our waitress would take our re-up order, and someone else would bring the items to the table. The female runner helping out had a bit of an attitude...she never said one word, even when we acknowledged her. All-in-all, our food was tasty and our waitress couldn't have been any better. It's worth a visit. read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I was very excited to try this place. I went Friday night at around 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock it wasn't too busy we paid for parking and then we got sat and for the next 10 minutes, nobody brought out a water or greeted us and we were sat all the way in the back so we cannot get anybody attention after the 10 minutes was up. I ended up getting my stuff and leaving. I wasn't even giving utensils. No server greeted me and as I'm walking out, they were two servers up in the front just sitting there doing nothing will not be back. read more

I wish I could give this place 1,000 stars. The quality of the food is fantastic. I've tried just about every meat option on the menu, and none of them disappoint. The sides are also delicious! I also can't say enough good things about the service here. The hosts are always on top of their game. And the wait staff are so upbeat and friendly--they seem genuinely happy to take care of you. The restaurant (bathrooms, tables, etc.) is always clean and tidy! I hate that the place burned down!!!! Please come back!!!!! read more

A few more things to add the list of "must try" Ribeye Chili Shrimp Fatty Brisket Just try not to sit Daniel's section (I think that's his name). Hispanic kid, he wasn't very attentive. An Asian male server with glasses actually was more helpful. He's dope. Thanks... read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Do not waste your money. This place is not worth it. I been to other Korean BBQ place and this is the only place that limits you so much. For example, you can only pick 3 proteins at a time even in a big group. Which I would guess if the portion size made sense but they would bring small pieces of meat for 10 people like it is basically a single serving. Also, it is impossible to get the server to order more. So a lot of the time you are waiting. So basically it all you can eat but small portion and they make sure you don't get your food fast enough. Now about the food taste there literally no flavor and the meat not consistent. Like we order the beef bulgogi multiple times because it the only meat that had some sort of flavor but sometimes it come out completely different. There are also not enough bathrooms in this place. It is always packed and they only have two gender-specific bathrooms. Which is really inconvenient as there always a wait. read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

So...it is an all you can eat place. THEY RAN OUT OF BEEF. So the waiter keeps saying how sorry he is and we keep waiting. 20 more minutes go by and he apologizes some more. Ask us if he can get us anything else while we wait, compliments. We order an egg souffle. 3.99. Bill comes, it's on the bill. You run out of meat. You keep apologizing. You offer something. Then you charge us? Running out of meat is two stars, charging for something that is supposedly free and an apology. That is one star behavior. Also, they changed my tip after I left and I will be disputing the charge. A 105 bill magically became 146 after I returned home. That is some fraud. read more

Second KBBQ I've been to in the charlotte area. First one was Iron Dish. They have more side plate options than Iron Dish. The service was relatively fast and the food was good. Decent pricing for all you can eat too! Downside: I don't think they have their own parking lot (and if they do; it was very small and offered limited space). So be prepared to pay $15 for parking. read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

The first time I came here was during Valentine's day so we had to wait over two hours since they dont have reservations. But this time we went around 2pm and surpirsingly we didnt have to wait at all for a table and the service was super fast! The waiters are always very nice and give you a run-down f it's your first time doing kbbq. The steak and pork belly are my personal favorites! I thought the saffron pork belly tasted better than the lemon garlic but both were really good. Last time they had a rosemary pork belly that I really liked too but looks like they took it off the meny. The banchan are really tasty too, especially the pickled radish. They also give you three different types of sauces which are all pretty unique and is fun to experiment eating different meats and sauces together. Love that they also have pineapple you can order which we threw on the grill and put in our wraps! read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

This place was delicious in its hey-day but it seems to have passed that stage now. They were closed for a while because of a fire in the kitchen and just recently re-opened. My friends and I came here for a GNO and it's just not the same. The wait staff appeared overwhelmed, there's no structure when attempting to place your name on the wait list and the food was not up to par. It's like they took shortcuts in every dish and it shows. Let's start with the meats - the quality was meh, what you'd expect for an AYCE however before, it used to be amazing. Now, The pork belly is 90% fat. We cooked it for a while trying to render the fat. Didn't help, it was still chewy fat. The spicy pork belly was salty, no taste of gochujang, just salt. We kept refilling the beef brisket since none of the marinades were any good. Now for the side dishes - they're a staple in Korean cuisine. If you can't this right, it's a wrap on your meal. And here, it was horrible. I used to love their banchan before the fire. How did they let it get so bad? First off, we had a table of six people. The amount of banchan initially provided was enough for 2 people. We repeatedly asked for more and were given the same tiny amount. Why did we keep asking if it wasn't good? Cause we're paying $40/pp! Here's a rundown on each side dish: Kimchi - we got the "core" of the cabbage twice. It's hard and inedible. It should've been trashed, not served. Potato salad - there were large chunks of crunchy half-boiled potatoes and it was dry, needed more mayo and seasoning. Fish cakes - super salty. Just salt. This is usually one of my fave banchan and was so disappointed Cucumber kimchi - sliced super thin with no flavor except vinegar. Tasted nothing like a Korean cucumber kimchi Garlic stems - salty. Just salt. Soybean paste soup - bland broth and no veggies or tofu. You get a sliver or two of zucchini and a cube or two of tiny tofu bites. That's it. By far the worst doenjang jigae I've ever had. Corn cheese - all cheese with a tablespoon of corn. Not good eats as it just gets greasy from the cheese Japchae - bland and full of onions. No soy, sweet or sesame oil flavoring. Just bland noodles Brown pickled veggies and cubed radish - I can't even describe how horrible these tasted. Like it's horrible. I hate to write this review since I loved this place so much before the fire. I don't know if they're cutting corners because they lost revenue for so long but coming back after a hiatus with this quality of food is not helping. They used to be the only kbbq spot in town - and the best. But they lost their touch and with so much competition with much better quality food, they need to shape up if they wanna stay in business. read more

I've visited several Korean BBQs in my day, including two in Seoul, Korea. Now that one was awesome. But the hubby and I decided to try Let's Meat since we hadn't been to one together since we visited Korea in 2018. We met on a Saturday afternoon. There was zero wait so we were immediately sat. The booths were roomy for two people and once our waitress let us know how to order we dove in. We started with pork belly and spicy chicken (for the hubby). We were greeted with an array of side dishes which my husband enjoyed a bit more. I did order the bone marrow soup which didn't have a ton of flavor but I ate it. We also ordered bulgogi beef, steak, and brisket. I also had an order of japchae, I just wish it was served hot. I also tried the corn cheese and was not a fan. But I always wanted to try it as I like both cheese and corn but didn't really like it together. I would come back but I do miss the one in Korea. LOL. read more

Expect a long wait when you get here , as it fills quickly for dinner and there's no reservation options. But it is definitely worth the wait! We drove over a hour just for this place! (The 336 area unfortunately doesn't have an all you can eat Korean restaurant) Ive been here a few times and each time was a great experience . Staff is great and constantly checking on us to make sure we don't need any extra refills or meat . I think the most I've gone is 4 rounds of meat and tapped out . The meats pair so well with the small banchans (small side dishes) . You can refill on the banchans by request too. We always get the flavored soju for drinks too. What I love so much about Korean bbq is that it lets you engage with the people you're having dinner with . You're having fun cooking the various meats in front of you and engaging in conversation. It's a fun experience for sure . read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - a variety of food items - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

For $36.99/person AYCE, this place is a solid/average KBBQ place. They definitely let us stay a little over 2 hours and did not seem to be rushing us out. We had 8 people and sat at 2 tables next to each other. We arrived at 4:15pm on Friday after Thanksgiving. There were 9 parties ahead of us but by 4:45pm we got notification that they were ready for us to sit down. The service was probably one of the best services we've gotten at a KBBQ place in most cities. I would like to give 1 full star for our server who came around almost every 15-20 minutes to check on our tables. The food itself was alright. I think what really disappointed my family and myself was the bibimbap and cold noodles. It's not your typical bibimbap with different toppings. It was just bed of lettuce, rice on top, some korean seaweed, and then sauce. We added a bunch of our bulgogi and pork belly meat into the "bibimbap" to make it appetizing. Same with the cold noodles. It was just the same sauce with plain noodles. Favorites of the night were: bulgogi (kinda overly sweet but most of us liked it), pork belly (lots of different seasoning types), and butter squid (cook in the foil tin!!). The LA Kalbi is an additional $15 and it was pretty good. I don't think I saw any desserts available on the menu so can't speak for that. read more

The restaurant: located on the outskirts of Charlotte's uptown on Church St. Restaurant has its own dedicated parking, but it's packed. There's also street parking. The wait: we came on a Sunday at around 5 pm and waited for over 2 hours before we were seated. I do recommend the restaurant gets a Yelp list for people to call in or something. The wait is very discouraging and will hurt your business. The atmosphere: very crowded and cold in the restaurant. Bring a jacket ladies. The service: while we wait inside the restaurant to be seated, we noticed the guy (who we assumed to the the manager cleaning up the table) was working at snail pace! Here you have a gazillion of people waiting and we see you take like half an hour to clean up the table! Additionally, we also noticed the employees who bring out the food did not so enthusiastic. It looks like they were miserable working there. Our server was pretty nice though and attentive though. The AYCE experience: after over 2 hours wait, we were seated with some side dishes and we continue to wait some more for our food. Even though we ordered lots of meats, the non meat stuff were brought out first... it was as if they want us to be full on other stuff first. It takes a very long time for the meat to come out. One other thing I noticed is they don't change out the grill plates here. In California, every kbbq places change grill plates when they become all charred with nasty stuff. Here, they just give you 1 lime.... I'm not sure how sanitary this is and it does not make the food taste good with lime flavor! I recommend the restaurant to have staff changing out grill plates at least 2-3 times! The food: the food was good. Huge portions when they bring the food out. Unfortunately, I had the biggest stomachache and had to go do #3 immediately when I came home. So something in there was not good.... Overall experience: I came from California where there are abundance numbers of kbbq restaurants with reasonable wait time and excellent services. The kbbq price here costs as much as the price in California, so I do expect the food and service to be good. This place, unfortunately, is a disappointment despite the hype. If I ever come back to Charlotte, would I wait over 2 hours at this place again? Most probably not because I look for restaurant with good service. read more

My husband and I came to visit Charlotte from Wilmington and Korean BBQ was first on our list! They have everything you could ever want. Loads of marinated pork belly, steak, chicken, mushrooms, and much more. We loved how you were able to cook everything the way you wanted and everything was absolutely delicious! Our server provided the best service we've received in a really long time. He was so attentive and carried on an amazing conversation for most of the night. I think his name was Marshall (I'm sorry if I got your name wrong but you know who you are!) and he was wonderful. Loved the super casual environment! You'll be pretty safe in anything you choose to wear. You absolutely get your money's worth here. $38 and all you can eat is a steal--just make sure you have a big appetite. We would absolutely come back next time we're in Charlotte! This was probably one of the most fun restaurants we've been to for a date night in a long time. read more

Sometimes I'm scared to write bomb ass reviews for bomb ass places because I'm scared the wait for a table will become endless, but that's gatekeeping, and this place is great, so I am gonna write it anyways. I gotta talk about how great Let's Meat KBBQ is. This place is amazing, not just because I love Korean barbecue, but because the ambiance is fun, upbeat, and urban, the quality of the food is top notch (pricing is good value too), and lastly the service and the staff are fantastic!!! If you haven't ever had KBBQ, this should be the first place you ever go to! It should set the standard, because it's SO GOOD, you may make Korean barbecue your new favorite type of cuisine! I've been to plenty of places in LA and other cities, so it wasn't my first, but I knew coming in that the food was legit! You have all your authentic and classic KBBQ grill sides, (kimchi, pickled veggies, radish, greens to wrap your proteins, fluffy eggs, cheesy corn!!! And more) all of your choices of high-quality meat: from chicken, pork, beef, and seafood! ALL OF THIS is part of an buffet (all you can eat) experience. It's incredibly value, and in a very classy, exciting, and wonderful experience. So good for friends and family! So they'll basically bring out your meat (3 max at a time) and you just order and eat for I think 2 hours max. They may charge you if you order a bunch of meat and leave not eating a ton of it, but it's good because it promotes less food waste. Tables set up nicely, nice grills, decent sized tables for all the dishes that you have, it's a good system running there! Maverick was our waiter, and he was really great to remember things and get all the orders in, but also explaining things and coming over to help cook every once in a while! We had a really great time, and I will 100% be coming back multiple times! Love this place! Keep it up y'all! TL;DR: Impressive KBBQ place in Charlotte area that is incredible, worth the wait, great quality meat and ingredients, wonderful service, really cool and industrial/creative decor, super fun dining experience for new and old to the cuisine! Prices are very valuable, especially with all you can eat! Ask your waiter questions if you're not sure of what to eat/how to cook, etc! Recommend this place HIGHLY, and will be coming back! read more

Thoroughly enjoyed this place! Great service and great food....if you leave hungry shame on you! Will be back!!

Our whole dinner was underwhelming. We left full but very dissatisfied. The bonchon was good, the soups are so bland (please add some flavor or at least salt!), the meat selection is small, and the grills are not non stick. Disclaimer: I just moved from Southern California where there are dozens of AYCE kbbq spots; I've eaten at many of them so my expectations for kbbq are high. Maybe it's personal preference, but the shrimp and pork were great. We only liked the beef options which is only 4 options. Cons: -there is no rice paper (that is 100% unacceptable for a kbbq spot! -the bone broth soup and egg soufflé lacked any flavor -limits to 3 proteins per round; if service is slow, you'll digest and won't be able to eat as much -they offer butter (which I'm not used to) but the meat gets stuck and burnt -the grill gets burnt and black fast -the brisket sauce tasted very sour and not sweet as it's supposed to be Pros: -the ventilation for smoke is in the grill, so you won't smell after -they have quite an abundance of bonchon (sides) -they offer different soups (you just need to ask for salt lol) -the restaurant is large so it helps with the wait time read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

I'm a big fan of KBBQ so I was excited to come here! Came with a group of 6 friends after eating lightly all day so we came hungry! We came on a Monday night so we didn't have to wait to be seated, but since there are no reservations make sure you come early or be prepared to wait. There is some parking next to the restaurant, but if you can't find a spot, there is street parking and paid parking in the adjacent lots as well. Our service was relatively quick and the food was decent: -BANCHAN: The side dishes were ok; we really liked the japchae and kimchi but the other ones we didn't touch as much. -MEAT: For the meat, you can order 3 at a time. We ordered a lot: beef brisket, pork butt, lemon garlic pork belly, curry pork belly, and original pork belly. My personal favorites were the original pork belly and the beef brisket. The meat quality was not as good as other briskets and pork bellies that I've had, and it was more thick/chewy, but they still tasted ok. -RANDOMS: Separately, we also ordered egg souffle, bone marrow broth, dumplings, onions, green leaf lettuce, and corn cheese. These were all very tasty and great pairs with the meat we were devouring. The bone marrow soup was not the most flavorful but it was still soothing and a good way to wash down all the meat. Overall, it was a decent experience with good service. read more

Let's Meat Kbbq - Beef brisket! - Korean Near Me - Charlotte, North Carolina

Let's Meat Kbbq is an interesting place that I very well could have given a 4 or 5 star had I had been given better information on how the process works. That was a very expensive experience to not know what you are doing as we had never been to a Korean Bbq restaurant before. We didn't know anything about the sauces that were provided to us and how to use and we were given very little detail on how to order and how to complete the experience and how to use what, even after asking our waiter. Our waiter was very disinterested even after asking was this our first time here. So $100 during lunchtime got a meal for two that we didn't get near the experience that we should have or could have. The restaurant was clean and the set up good. There is not a lot of free parking so plan for that and there is no option to not get the buffet so prepare for that. Go hungry and maybe watch a video before you go. I regret not doing that and I regret not letting the manager know how subpar our waiter was. I am willing to try it again because I feel I would enjoy the food and the experience but I won't be so casual about lack luster service which is what caused my experience to be just that. read more

Amazing and super fun experience! We came in at 6pm on a Sunday and the wait was an hour and a half. We went to Seoul Food Meat Co. next door and got drinks at the bar while we waited. It went by pretty quick, and I love that they have a waitlist link that they send to your phone to check how many people are in front of you in line. Once we were seated, they brought us our sides and took our orders. You can order 3 proteins at a time. We kept ordering the bulgogi because it was the best thing! The chicken was also very good. I loved being able to cook my own food and add anything I wanted to the grill. I also loved the corn cheese and the veggies. We also got the soju and added pineapple yogo vera to it. It was a lot of soju and 4 of us were able to share it. It was really tasty. Tasted like pineapple vodka. Overall, I loved this experience! The service was great and our server was super friendly! The music was great too! Can't wait to come back! read more

You can't make reservations so go early or be prepared to wait. We went on a Saturday night and had about a 45 minutes wait. Once instead we were greeted by our server and she was very efficient at taking our order and the food came out relatively quickly. The portions are not big but since it is AYCE, you can just keep ordering. The banchans (sides) are unlimited and when you ask for refills, they give you way more than the initial drop-off. Paid parking available nearby or free street parking. read more

Loved let's meat! The food was very high quality, I would say you have to try the pork belly and squid . Those two items were delicious. However all the meats and seafood was very tasty on the menu. The price per person is 38.95 so approximately 40 dollars before tip and tax. The service was amazing we had rounds of different things coming to our table all the time. They made sure we got our load up, we probably got around 30 plates before leaving lol. Ambiance was nice too, simple tables in a large room that smelled like beef, as a KKBQ should. :) Definitely recommend coming to celebrate sometime and come hungry read more

The food, food, food...all you can eat and you can grill to each persons desire. They also have a great number of items that are gluten free. The service was quick, and steady, our waiter even recalled all the drink orders and was on top of everything from explaining, recommending, and anticipating. read more
