the service is good. Our service Micah helps us a lot. Food is normal. Great environment.

Great food and service. Our server Ben is amazing. We had really good time having dinner at Friday night

The roaster tray is really bad, it very easy drop the meat. Even though the staff refill that for us, but we need to very careful for the rest of the meat. Other than that the staff service is good, thanks Mia. read more

Amazing food at Mama Xita!!! The meats were so delicious and full of mouth-watering flavor, and the sauces worked well to elevate the meats to new heights!!! Our service was top-notch - our waitress Calli was extremely attentive and worked hard to make sure our experience here was the best it could be. She made it that much more amazing to eat at Mama Xita. The dining area is so gorgeous as well and the vibes were immaculate. Beautifully decorated and clean. If I'm ever in Bellevue again, I will be looking to go to Mama Xita BBQ. read more

Overall: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 I've been hearing the hype about Mama Xita BBQ all the way over in PDX, so when I got the chance to visit Bellevue this weekend I was stoked! After waiting an hour, our party of 3 was promptly seated and tended to by Jen. First impressions of the restaurant was how clean and beautiful the interior was, as well as how sweet all the staff are! Food wise, we did not order the combo as one person in our group did not eat beef. We got the pork jowl, the pork chop, thin beef slices, thinly sliced beef tongue, and spicy chicken feet. You can truly taste the quality of the meat- our wonderful waitress Jen checked in on us multiple times during our meal, refilled our banchan (the potato salad and kimchi were addicting), and even helped cook one of our beef dishes after explaining how everything worked. Our recommendations to order would be the pork jowl and the beef cuts for sure! Only qualms with the food: the grate itself had holes that were a bit too large, which caused some of the meat to fall through :(. The pork chop was also a bit tough to eat, but we do prefer tender meat so to each their own :). The spicy chicken feet were also really good, but I would stick to ordering the bbq meats instead next time! Overall, if I am craving KBBQ and in the area I would come to Mama Xita to satisfy the craving. It is not an AYCE, but the meat quality and experience was great and I think for the meat quality and service alone it is worth the price to treat yourself. Would love to try their desserts another time- especially the matcha gelato! NOTE: they also offer parking validation in the parking garage which is wonderful and appreciated!!! And we did not leave smelling like KBBQ which is another plus :) read more

Long wait times, need to put your name and party size on the waitlist at the kiosk in person, can't join online. There is parking in the building, but make sure to get your parking validated before you leave. It was my first time trying a Chinese and Korean fusion bbq. They had good quality meat and included unlimited banchan. The sesame paste dipping sauce was really tasty. We got a set combo for 4-5 and a few additional dishes, and it was plenty of food for 6 people. I like that the tables are large, and I didn't smell like bbq afterwards. read more

Super cool ambiance with outstanding presentation, but the food taste is off for those used to Korean and Japanese food. The service was good but at times it felt like a budget conveyor belt sushi place in Japan . Overall it is a nice try but a miss and too expensive for what you get. read more

We tried Mama Xita over the weekend and had a wonderful time. Validated parking is available at the Bellevue Connection Tower parking garage, which makes it very convenient. The restaurant is upscale, polished and modern, making it perfect or a celebration or elevated night out. We arrived outside of lunch hours and the restaurant were still quiet busy, I'd recommend planning ahead of time. We didn't have to wait for long and were seated shortly after arriving. Our server Nika was so lovely, she explained the entire menu to us, as well as her recommendation for different items on the menu. We went with her recommendation and got a 2-3 person set meal with original angus brisket and seaweed salad, and an order of thin-sliced beef tongue, for our group of 3. This was the right amount of meats as we were full and satisfied after. All the meat cuts in the set, as well as the beef tongue were super delicious. My personal favorite was the ginseng king angus prime steak, it was so juicy and tender. The set came with 6 side dishes with unlimited refills, the side dishes were very tasty! I like that they served a variety of Chinese and Korean sauces and spices to choose from, they all go very well with the meats. Throughout the meal, our server Nika was very attentive and periodically checked on us to see if she can bring us anything from additional scissors, to more side dishes, water and napkin. In some restaurants it might be hard to flag a server, but it is not the case at all here, and it made our experience so much more enjoyable. I'll definitely come back soon. read more

This place is new I think! and I was very excited to try it this weekend. The wait was ~1.5 hours so I think a little long for what I prefer. The flavor of the meats were soooo good. I honestly think it was one of the better kbbq places I've been. And the sides were delicious! I liked ALL of them, and especially the cucumber/cabbage and tofu ones. I think our server (Amar) really made our evening though-- we ordered three meats and the veggie basket, and one of the meats was fatty enough that things started going on fire, and he came to rescue us. After that, he helped explain how to cook the remaining meats, gave us quick refills on banchan, explained the membership program (didn't get it this time, but if I'm coming back more frequently, maybe I will). Honestly if I think about this too much longer, I might get the membership just to remind myself to come back hahaha. I think one of the detractors of the location is the wait time, which I think is slightly exacerbated by the fact that they only seem to have 4+ sized seating? I would consider coming by alone (and even this time I went with one other person), but the wait would be the same regardless of party size, which isn't great for someone like me :( read more

It is always fun to find new places to eat and i am glad that we got to check this place out. The only negative thing would be the wait time as we put our name on the list and waited for a little over an hour. The service here is pretty good with our server checking up on us occasionally. I did like the quality of meat and also the dipping sauces that they had. We ordered a 4-5 group meal combo as well as adding a couple of extra dishes like the japchae and the. Bingsu dessert. read more

Amazing!!! We came during the soft opening and had the best experience. Jen was our server and she was so attentive and gave us great recommendations. The food was so flavorful! We came with three of us and ordered their 3-4 person meal. Which was the perfect amount for us! The ambiance inside looks so modern and nice. I will def be back again and can't wait! read more

Mama Xita BBQ - Korean Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Came during soft opening. Weekday around 5:30pm and we had to wait about 45 min for a party of 5. We got the set meal + seafood pancake, which was plenty for our group. But if you have some big-eaters you'd probably want to order more. The set came with about 8-9 different cuts of meat. The cuts varied in quality and the a5 definitely did not taste like a5. But overall the meats were pretty good. As a note, the servers do not cook the meat for you here. At this price point for kbbq I feel like they should. The banchan was pretty slow to be refilled (on the kitchen side we were told) and we didn't get kimchi at all until halfway through our meal. I do recognize it was soft opening and Im sure they're still working out their kinks. I would want to come back when they have their grand opening. read more

Lovely experience! Quality meats and excellent service! We ordered the 2-3 person combo set which came with selected meats, soup, sides, lettuce, and sauces. With two of us, it was honestly a perfect amount of food. (soup not included in pic) Ben was our server and he was top tier if I'm being honest. Before we even had to ask, Ben was already offering more sides. He is friendly and personable. The decor was modern and sleek, I did notice that we didn't reek of bbq meat after our meal, which I really appreciated. I'd say the only major downside was the wait. We came on a Tuesday during dinner time and were quoted 30 mins-1.5 hours. I think luckily they validate parking and the location is located conveniently near the Bellevue Square mall so we spent our wait time there. read more

Will lead with the fact that like many Chubby Club chains, they do ask for reviews at the end and have an internal competition about best service among staff. That's why you'll notice a lot of reviews for a newer place plus tons of names being dropped. No reservations now during their opening. Join the waitlist in person and chill at Don't Yell At Me for drinks or walk around Bellevue. That being said, huge 5* shoutout to Micah (Moo) for his attentive and enthusiastic service. I was shocked by Mama Xita because I genuinely had low expectations, but the quality of food and service exceeded expectations. Our party of 5 may not have all left a review, so please count this as a collective, unanimous opinion for Micah. Have to knock down a star because their online menu is misleading and has changed a bit. Prices are a bit higher as we saw $174 in person, $168 online for the 4-5 Group Meal and roughly $20 off with membership. Transparency wise, I am a member of the paid Chubby Club membership which gives a discount on various items, so for 5 people we paid around $45-$50 each after tax and tip. Honestly, not too bad of a price but expect maybe $5-$10 more per person without a membership. Regarding the 4-5 Group Set, contrary to their online menu, there was no soft tofu soup. Instead, they offered seaweed soup (no ability to choose). There was also no lettuce wrap set but instead, there were greens provided with various meats. These greens were on the dryer end, not the typical lettuce wrap (ssam) for BBQ. All the meats are delicious and cook very fast on their terrific grills. Most of them are on the sweeter end with some marination, but nothing too overwhelming. For dessert, we were really excited to get some bingsu but looks like that's also off the menu. They have thick toast and some ice cream available. Hopefully they add it in the future, as it was shown before (and perhaps exists at other locations? Unsure). read more

We had a wonderful experience here! The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere, and the food was outstanding--the barbecue in particular was incredibly good and packed with flavor. Our server, Jen, also did a great job. She served everyone well, was a huge help with the barbecue, gave clear and hands on instructions, and was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the meal. Highly recommend!" read more

I was recommended this place by a family member, and I brought my mother here for Mother's Day, and she absolutely loved it! Vince made the experience amazing. He was incredibly welcoming, kind, and took the time to explain everything to us. The food was delicious and came out quickly, the prices were reasonable, and the ambiance felt clean, warm, and inviting. Overall, it was such a great experience. I would definitely recommend this place to others and would love to come back again! She got to pick a rose upon walking in :) read more

Calli our server was the sweetest and so attentive. She always made sure that we were doing okay and that we understood the ordering process as it was our first time. The food was so good! There were 3 of us and we got the 3-4 person combo + cheese corn and everyone was totally stuffed by the end. I forget which meat it is but there is one that when they bring out its in a wooden case that they open with a flourish and smoke. That was cute and charmed us. The meat quality was one of the best I've had in a while for a kbbq place. Plus sauces and banchan were also really good! Calli noticed we liked the radish and potato salad and brought us extra as we were already through one serving before any meat hit the table. So many people have posted about how pretty it is inside and it's true the place is stunning to look at. For me though the most important part is that the fans that suck in smoke at each table were strong enough to get almost all the smoke and I didn't feel like I was walking out smelling like a campfire. Overall I think they're doing extremely well even during their soft open and already have plans to come back again with more friends. This is definitely the place to go if you want a nicer bbq experience. read more

Amazing experience. Decor, service from Diego- all great from start to finish. I sometimes am a bit wary about chubby cattle chains given they can focus more on quantity over quality, but this place was excellent value with great quality meats. The set was portioned perfectly, and the banchans were great. I loved their thick cut beef tongue as well. Will definitely be back! read more

We ordered the 4-5 group meal set to try different types of meat. This is definitely enough for 4 people unless you came in super hungry. The meat quality was amazing, and the side dishes were decent. The presentation of the food was great as well. Shout-out to our waiter, Brayden, for being knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant's ambiance is not overly fancy, but it's a great place to take your out-of-town guests or for celebrations. read more

The food here is fantastic! We got the combo for 2-3 people and the meats were incredibly tasty. The banchan was great, and the mashed potatoes were a standout favorite. Their special sauce is truly unique. I haven't tasted anything like it at any other Korean or Japanese grill. And the white rice? It had perfect consistency. It was fluffy, slightly sticky, and every grain cooked just right. Our server Diego was attentive and took the time to walk us through on how to order, which made the whole experience so much smoother. Highly recommend! read more

Calli is great, very enthusiastic and caring! We had really great experience dining here read more

Came during Mama Xita's soft opening with a group of friends and left impressed! First, a huge shoutout to our server, Vicky. She was fantastic throughout the entire meal--attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the menu. Since it was our first visit, she took the time to explain the dishes and make recommendations. She even rushed over to help us grill our meat when she noticed we were getting a little too ambitious and potentially about to burn ourselves. That level of attentiveness really stood out and made the experience even more enjoyable. For food, we ordered the 2-3 person combo, and the meats were excellent. The quality was immediately noticeable--tender, flavorful, well-marinated, and cooked beautifully on the grill. If you're coming here for the meat, I don't think you'll be disappointed. One unexpected bonus: we were able to order bubble tea from Don't Yell At Me and have it delivered directly to our table. As someone who loves their drinks, that was a huge win and made the experience even better. The food was such a hit that a couple of my friends signed up for a Chubby Club membership before we even left the restaurant. That's probably the best endorsement I can give. I've also visited other Chubby Group restaurants in Las Vegas and have eaten at Wagyu Factory in Shoreline, and I can honestly say I haven't had a disappointing meal yet. It's great to see that Mama Xita continues that tradition of quality food and service. One thing I was curious about is whether there is any connection between Mama Xita and the former restaurant that occupied the space, Itadaki. I also know the owners are involved with the Don't Yell At Me franchise, which might explain how they are able to coordinate bubble tea delivery directly to restaurant tables without any apparent food-safety concerns. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that many of the side dishes leaned sweeter than I personally prefer. The kimchi, pickled shredded radish, and mashed potatoes all had a noticeable sweetness to them, and even the cold noodles--which we ordered as a separate dish rather than receiving as a side--were sweeter than I expected. I realize this may be intentional and some diners may enjoy it, but I found myself wishing for a little more balance and tanginess in those dishes. The table was also a bit small for the amount of food we ordered, so things felt a little crowded once everything arrived. That said, the meats were definitely the star of the show and were outstanding across the board. A word of advice: come early and get your name on the waitlist. We experienced about a 2-hour wait during soft opening, but honestly it wasn't too bad. We spent the time hanging out at Bellevue Square and grabbing a drink nearby before coming back. Overall, a very enjoyable meal with excellent service, quality meats, and a fun atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back and seeing how they continue to evolve after their grand opening. read more

Oh the wait. Not worth it. Wait until all the hype is over. A bit pricey for a well presented dishes. The food was good but not great. We orders the 3-4 people meal and it didn't disappoint.

Had a great experience at MAMA XITA BBQ Bellevue. The meats were fresh and delicious, and there was a great variety of food to choose from, so everyone in our group found something they enjoyed. Our server, Jim, was outstanding. He was friendly, attentive, and efficient, always checking in on us and proactively making sure everything was taken care of. He's also bilingual and was able to explain the menu, answer questions, and help place our order in Mandarin, which made the experience so much easier for my parents-in-law, who don't speak English. His excellent service made our meal even more enjoyable. A nice perk in that the restaurant offers 4 hours of validated free parking, which made our visit convenient. However, the waiting time was a bit long, and there isn't much of a designated waiting area. Most customers ended up standing near the entrance or waiting outside in the sun, which wasn't very comfortable. Hopefully, the restaurant can improve the waiting experience in the future. read more

Probably the best Korean BBQ I've had to date! Extremely high quality cuts and the service was top notch! Anu was our server and she handled all of our requests and was the most attentive to our table. She kept the unlimited ban chan coming and we never needed to ask. I suggest that you come at least 30 minutes before opening to be placed on the waitlist (your entire party must be present before sitting). If not you could be waiting for hours as they take no reservations. Even though this is not an AYCE the amount of cuts you receive with each set is plenty. And be prepared for a slow and wonderful K-BBQ experience. Mama Xita - welcome to Bellevue! read more

I visited Mama Xita expecting a good dining experience. Overall, the food was okay -- some dishes had good flavors, but the experience did not stand out as much as I hoped. The service was friendly, but there was a moment where Micah asked me to leave a review and mentioned a membership program that required a paid fee. A review should be something a guest chooses to give based on their own experience, not something that feels requested or encouraged. I believe feedback is most valuable when it comes naturally from customers who genuinely want to share their experience. The ambiance was pleasant, with a comfortable atmosphere, but the overall visit felt average. The food, service, and environment were decent, but the experience could be improved by allowing guests to provide feedback organically without feeling pressured. In conclusion, I do not think this restaurant symbolize anything Chinese or Korean. Only thing Korean is probably just the kimchi and only thing Chinese is the decor to be honest. If you want something more better service, quality and authenticity, you are better off going to a KBBQ or Japanese BBQ. read more

Great experience, first time trying this style of Chinese BBQ. We opted for the set menu for 3-4 plus the tofu soup was plenty for our group of 4 adults. Pricing came out to around 150 or so. Good cuts of meat, plenty of grill changes and sides (opted for membership) and overall good service. Would definitely come back. read more

I had a great time at Mama Xita! The wait time is 1-1.5 hours on a Sunday. After joining the waitlist, we went around the mall so it wasn't too bad. The combos are a great deal, the ambiance is beautiful, and the meat is high quality. Nika took care of us and was very attentive. She helped cook the meat, replaced the side dishes, and had a warm personality. I left soooo full :) read more

2nd time here :) I really like this place. The meats were really good and well seasoned and they don't skimp on sauces or sides. The staff are very nice and come by to check on you just enough. The place is clean and well decorated and there is enough space so you don't feel like you're all up in your neighbors business. Only thing is right now they do allow online waitlist so you have to arrive and wait but we have waited like maybe 30-45 minutes at most so far arriving around 5 and another 8:30 and it wasn't bad. read more

Reasonably priced high quality BBQ! It's a popular chain in China and I'm glad it's also in the US now. Their 2-3 ppl combo was enough for the three of us. Our server, Amar, was nice and attentive. The snow mountain dessert was smaller than expected and very overpriced, though. Tasted like plain vanilla ice cream with Oreo crumbles, only thing interesting was the presentation. read more

We love Mia! Food was good too. And John is the best manager - he runs a nice operation.

Micah's the best! Great service and good energy. Meat was so good! The restaurant itself is nice too and they provide parking validation.

Tonight was a very excellent dinner! We had a reservation and were able to get seated early, which was a great start. Our server John was honestly a big part of why the experience felt so good. He was kind, attentive, and took the time to explain the menu, how the restaurant works, and how to best use our membership benefits without ever making it feel forced or overly scripted. Once we ordered, the banchan started coming out pretty quickly and everything was delicious, my favorites being the pickled radish and the potato salad. We got Combo B dinner set, and the presentation was beautiful, especially the A5 Wagyu skirt steak. John helped us get started with the grill and gave us helpful guidance on how to cook everything the way we liked. The meat quality was excellent and everything tasted fresh and flavors well thought out. The sesame sauce that came with the set was also really good and paired well with the meal. John kept checking in on us throughout dinner and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. We did have one small issue where the cheese tteokbokki ended up burning because the gas stove under it was too high, but John caught it right away and got it remade for us. No fuss, no awkwardness, he just handled it, and the new one came out great. Overall, this was a really great dining experience. The atmosphere was excellent, the food quality was impressive, and we never felt rushed, which was especially appreciated compared to some other all-you-can-eat BBQ spots in the same Chubby restaurant group. We had a very nice evening here and will definitely be coming back. read more
