    The spread!  Yummy and so colorful!
    Esther K.

    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!

    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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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...

    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.

    Ask the Community - Let's Meat Kbbq

    Can solo dinner do AYCE option?

    Yes

    Do they have bimimbap?

    They do now!

    Is there a parking lot or do I have to fight over street parking?

    There's a medium size parking lot, then some other nearby lots and street parking for backup, so odds are that no matter when you go you should be able to get a decent spot within reasonable walking distance

    Do we need Reservations?

    They don't do reservations! First come first serve.

    Is Let's Meat pretty busy for Saturday Lunch and Dinner?

    YES! Expected 1 - 1 1/2 hrs wait time.

    Is there outdoor seating and is it dog friendly?

    No and no

    Is this a good place to go for just two people for a date?

    This is a great place for two people on a date. It's a very casual atmosphere. You can set the pace at which the food is delivered and cooking together is always fun.

    Do they have pescatarian options?

    Yes, they have squid and shrimp!

    Are they open for inside dining?

    Yes at 50% for phase 2 of covid 19

    How much per person?

    I think it was $29.99 per person.

    Would it be worth it to come here as a vegetarian?

    No, for the price it wouldn't be worth it given all you could eat is the small number of vegetarian sides and vegetables that you could grill.

    Do they serve soju?

    They do!

    What is their max table seating?

    Roughly 8 for a booth, but I'm sure they have tables to accommodate large groups for 10-15 people.

    What is the ages for it to be determined as a kid?

    4-10 years old

    Is it $30 for lunch or is lunch a lower price?

    Lunch is now $19.99 for adults since their instagram reached 10,000 followers

    Is it less expensive to go for lunch?

    You're in luck, they just announced on Instagram that thru August (2019) they're running a lunch special $19.99 Monday - Thursday. You just have to show them that you follow them on Instagram!

    Do they accept apple/samsung pay?

    yes

    So they have rice paper?

    No, they do not.

    Do they have this brown sauce for the meat ?I think it's soy sauce mixed with something else makes everything better!!

    I’m not sure if it’s the brown sauce you’re talking about, but they give four different types of sauces when you sit down! I’m sure they’ll have exactly what you are looking for!!

    Are there any meat options that don't contain soy?

    Yes, they have a lot of meats that are not marinated in anything. You just cook and then you can dip it into sauces for flavor.

    MOA is such a unique and fun dining experience! The food is delicious, but what really makes it…read morestand out is being able to cook your own food right in front of you. There's something so enjoyable about preparing your meal exactly the way you like it, watching everything cook right at the table, and being part of the entire dining experience. It makes the meal interactive, memorable, and perfect for a night out with friends, family, or a date. The food is flavorful and fresh, and there's something extra satisfying about eating a meal that you helped cook yourself. The atmosphere adds to the experience, and it's definitely a place I would recommend if you're looking for something different from the typical restaurant outing. The only downside is parking. Since MOA is uptown, parking can be a little tricky. Garage parking can easily cost $10-$20, while street parking can be difficult to find. If you do find street parking, the maximum is probably around three hours, but even that can feel a little tight once you factor in finding a spot, walking to the restaurant, getting seated, cooking your food, and actually enjoying your meal. You may find yourself watching the clock instead of completely relaxing and enjoying dinner. That said, MOA is absolutely worth the experience. Just plan ahead for parking, come hungry, and give yourself plenty of time. The interactive cooking, great food, and overall atmosphere make it a dining experience you'll definitely remember!

Quality of food was good...unfortunately quality of service lacked severely from my server. Reception team seemed enthusiastic, but the server was very "over it". After being brought my food- I was not checked on. No eye contact. She was very involved with the 3 other tables in her section.. difference was: they were drinking and eating for four leading to a bigger tip? I had to flag her down for additional rice and then water. Only thing I was happy with was the quality of the RibEye and the perfectly cooked rice. Upon exit: I talked with the manager (I think). Very enthusiastic guy: He offered to comp my meal- but I passed. Their food was good and I was happy to pay for it. the quality of people serving just sucked. I just didn't have the heart to NOT tip for the service I didn't get.

I told our waitress, Kim, that we had two newbies, and the rest of the meal, she was as excited as I was for them to try things! We ordered a huge variety of items, including the soups, the cheesy corn, bulgolgi, pork belly, chicken, squid... everything that looked interesting :) It was so very very tasty!

    We hadn't been here in about a year and decided to bring our cousins from out of town, which made…read morethe experience even more disappointing. We honestly wished we had chosen somewhere else. The food quality here was not like how it was years ago. The biggest issue was the food quality and value. The galbi was $30 per plate and had barely any meat, mostly bones and mixed in with a lot of cabbage. The pieces of meat were extremely small, about the size of a penny, which made it feel completely overpriced. The photo on the menu showed much meatier portions, so what we received felt misleading. We have had galbi at other places with much better portions for less. The japchae was also difficult to eat. The noodles were excessively long, around 2 feet, making it hard to grab and portion onto plates. Typically, japchae noodles are cut to a manageable length. The banchan portions were very small, only enough for about two people. When we asked for more, we were told it would be an additional charge, which was disappointing. Service also impacted our experience. The waitress hovered over our table and repeatedly asked to take plates away while we were STILL eating, which made the meal feel rushed and uncomfortable. We were a party of 4 adults and 2 young kids, ages 4 and 2, and the kids barely ate anything, yet we were still automatically charged a 20% gratuity. That did not feel appropriate given the situation. I am all for supporting small businesses, but when you are charging premium prices for very small portions and the quality does not match, that is where you lose my business. Overall, the portions, pricing, and service did not match expectations. Our $183 bill would've been better off at an AYCE Korean bbq.
