Must go; this is by far my new favorite restaurant and automatic recommend in Seattle. Yes open now during these crazy times - and now actually is the best time to go because this place is so incredible, I guarantee there will be long wait times as soon as quarantine lifts. This is the best Korean restaurant in Seattle hands-down no question. I lived in Seoul for 2 years; that is the first time I had Korean BBQ and I immediately fell in love. However I have never been able to find anyplace in Seattle that came even close to those experiences - until now. The food is delicious. The atmosphere is fantastic. The service is awesome. I cannot recommend enough, but feel a little selfishly apprehensive because once word gets out, it will be much harder to get a table here. read more

I ordered a boneless Korean fried chicken dosirak (bento) through Grubhub. It says it comes with a wagyu beef patty but it came with fried tofu instead. The rice was really dry as if there was not enough water added when they were cooking the rice. It was ok for the price I paid, $11, with the $5 off deal but I do not think I will order it again. read more

Meet Korean BBQ - no wagyu beef patty but soy sauce marinated fried tofu - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I saw the high rating and the ambiance looked great for a great night out. The servers were quite welcoming, taking my group to the table and always checking in every few minutes on our food. We ordered the signature feast. The meat looked marvelous, with the beef being very well marbled. The course also came with the egg souffle, kimchi rice, corn cheese, and tofu soup, which the latter 3 typically cost extra. That was a nice surprise. It also came with ssam (lettuce and leaves) to wrap your meat in, along with radishes and sauces. The place was also very well decorated with a lively ambiance. However, I do have to post a negative review regarding the professionalism and the quality of the cooking. First, while the initial beef was cooked medium rare as stated and tasted wonderful, the rest of course became progressively more overcooked, with our samgyeopsal (pork belly) being so burnt we could only eat half of it. Furthermore, it was clear one of our chefs (the chef that cooked for us the most really) had taken an interest in one person in our group, and the light group chit-chat diverged into a 1:1 with phone number exchanges with the rest of the group ignored. If you're interested in someone, wouldn't it be better to ensure the meal ends with a bang rather than burnt? The 18% mandatory gratuity tax is unjustified in my opinion. I have had better experiences elsewhere, even without the mandatory tipping. My recommendations? Promote proper professionalism with your cooks and ensure that they know how to cook properly and ensure a high customer experience before their own personal interests. Then and only then would I be more satisfied with the gratuity tax given and the high cost. read more

The meats are clearly better than your typical "AYCE KBBQ". I love that their banchan are made in house and aren't your usual options. I also really enjoy that they cook FOR you. Usually, I'm the one cooking! They don't use the usual grill, but a cast-iron style pan. The dipping sauces and seasonings pair really well with the meats. Rice IS extra, but with all the cheese corn, and unlimited banchan, it won't be missed. read more

Amazing! They were able to squeeze us in without reservations. The staffs were friendly. The food was so good that I couldn't stop eating. Thank you for making this birthday dinner special! read more

Came here after making a reservation for dinner - my first time dining out after quarantine life started. First in, you get an option to either sit at the front or back, after being greeted by a friendly staff. Front is closer to window/outisde/fresh air, but cooked with induction, whereas the back is a bit more spacious and you get gas grill. We chose to dine in at the back. TL;DR: Let me just start by saying this was the best KBBQ place that I've ever had in Seattle so far. Quantity, quality and the service was just phenomenal. I'm super looking forward to returning here soon. 100% recommend here! You'll be very pleasantly surprised at how amazing it is. Details: We got a small dinner beef feast - Small is for two people and large is for four people. Good portion of beef cut came in order of bavette steak, denver steak(zabuton steak), beef brisket and marinated skirt steak. These were of course accompanied with ample amount of side dish (duh, Korean), and also with unlimited fresh veggies. Th'e dinner feast comes with rice bowl, Korean Steamed egg (egg soufflé) and your choice of stew. I really can't emphasize enough how great it was both in quantity and quality. Best of all, all these beef were BBQ'ed by a friendly chef. They asked how we'd like our beef, and they cooked them perfectly in front of us. They would check up on us frequently to see if we need anything, and when we were almost done with the first cut, then they came to start cooking the second cut. Our water glasses were never empty, and we were asked multiple times if there was anything else we needed. They are not open for lunch yet, but I'm excited to come back and try their other menus! (Or the same one again and again and again!) Thank you Meet!!! read more

I went in for a meal with several friends and we were having a pretty typical meal until the waiter came up and exclaimed that he thought we all played video games and were likely engineers. I feel as though we may been profiled for being Asian... the abruptness and awkward silence that followed was deafening. When we no longer wanted to engage in small talk with the waiter he insisted that we were being too quiet. I've never been to a place where they assume my entire life story and tell me how to enjoy the meal from a volume standpoint. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

Meet Korean BBQ - Beef feast - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Meet is one of the best Korean barbeques spots in Seattle, probably the best. We visited 3 times in a month. Tried both beef feast and pork feast - both delicious. Banchans were delicious and egg and soybean soup is top notch. Also enjoyed the soju cocktails. I really don't have any negative feedback but if I had to give one feedback, would like to see more digestivs or after dinner drinks. Not to an extend where they would need a bartender but a solid selection of after dinner drinks would makes sense after Korean BBQ. The few selection of Amaros they have, we didn't personally like them. Also the limited wine selection didn't pair well with the pork feast we had. Overall! Great job! Keep it up!!!! read more

My husband and I were craving a good Korean meal as we can't get one near our house. This restaurant was near our hotel so we booked a table. We had high hopes but ultimately were disappointed. The server/chef was aloof and not that helpful when we asked him questions. Our drinks came halfway through the meal although we ordered them first. The server wandered from table to table cooking, not saying much at all to explain what he was doing or what we were eating. The food was good but I don't think I would return. read more

I really like this place! Amazing food quality, amazing service, and the price is fair for the food/experience. The only downside is that its street parking but thats to be expected with Seattle. The decor and atmosphere is nice especially at night it felt like we were on a date rather than just getting dinner. My husband is usually very picky about his kbbq but he loved it here and said the waitress really cooked the meats perfectly. I was so excited for the corn cheese but it was a little sweet (maybe it had Japanese mayo in it, next time i'll ask them to omit that) but still edible. The ribeye was probably my fav. Will be coming back here again soon! read more

A friend ordered in advance for their loved one and the company took their order and had to close the day schedule. After many weeks, they have still failed to refund them and provided no proper communication to make amends or refund. Update: they had refunded half but still refuse to refund full payment or provide any more clarity about what is happening. I understand times are super tough, but this level of disregard is has been a choice to try to steal money from customer who might know they can ask their bank to charge back. read more

Best K-BBQ in Seattle !!!. Just found this place in the beginning of 2020. When we came here, everything is excellent include meats, dishes, and service. We usually ordered Large Beef Feast. I thought the price is higher when the first time we tried. But it's ok with us. Meats are so tender. Love the view. We're craving K-BBQ for so long time. Finally we can dine-in after 3 months of the lockdown. To be honest, the price is a bit high but it's worth for the food and service. Hope they can have more other dishes. We also ordered beef tartare before but I didn't see it on menu today. Highly recommended !!! read more

First time trying Meet Korean BBQ and it was amazing! You get lots of side with the order and good meat portions. The flavors of all the food and sides were spectacular. We also loved the service. We learned it is owned by four friends and all of them were there. They were friendly, explained what they were doing and checked on us often. We would definitely recommend and go there again when we're in the area. read more

I came here for dinner with a group of 6 people and we ordered the signature feast. the meat portion is good- fed all of us and we all left with full stomachs. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. The price is pretty expensive IMO, we paid 85 for each person including mandatory gratitude. The meat quality is ok. The steamed egg has cheese on the top, but it's really dry, like a baked egg. The service could definitely be better... Throughout the whole time, it was so hard for us to grab our server or even get her attention. We had to wave our hands really hard, and couple of times we had to grab other servers or the shift lead just for some simple requests, such as cooking, water, or more veggies, even we had to request side dishes because our table didn't get it, but when we were hungry and waiting for server came to cook, we saw side dishes on other customers' tables. read more

I don't normally write reviews mostly because I don't trust them but let me make an exception. As a Korean (born, raised, military service), who has lived in Seattle for the last 8+ years, and who regularly cooks Korean food and makes his own Kimchi, I have to say, I am a little appalled by the dirth of authentic Korean restaurants in Seattle and environs. One needs to go to Vancouver to find a decent collection. But I truly think Meet fulfills that gap. Let's start with the service. In any good Korean BBQ place in Korea, you don't cook your own meat. Sometimes servers get offended if you try. They'll tell you when it's ready to eat. So Meet follows that tradition. The staff explain to you the cuts of meat and when it's ready and how you should eat it properly. Meet follows that tradition and the meat is cooked for you by a server. Then there is the meat. The quality is exceptional. Please don't ask the insulting question: "is it all you can eat?" Would you ask that at any other fine dining establishments? I thought not. There hasn't been too many high-end Korean restaurants - it's been mostly bibimbap, soft tofu or food trucks - so people don't know that there are fine dining options that you would find more typically in Korea or LA. And you should expect to pay fine dining prices. The banchan (side dishes) are minimal but well-favored. Sometime people expect dozens of side dishes at Korean restaurants. All of Meet's banchan are home made (I asked the chef). Those that serve you a plethora of banchan are usually store-bought from mass produced sources since it take a lot of effort and pickling time to make good banchan. The tastes are subtle and authentic, not overly sweet or spicy to cater to non-Korean tastes. Maybe it's because it was opening weekend, but the chef, Heong Soon Park was very available, jumping from table to table, often cooking and explaining the menu and meat cuts himself and sharing his energy with the patrons. This I've found pretty common occurrence at his other restaurants, Chan and Tray (closed). We asked him what his favorite restaurants were in Seattle - he told us that unfortunately when he goes home at close to midnight there are not too many open. He's a hard working chef indeed. He did share a pro tip - shop Fridays at H-Mart. Produce arrives on Thursday so you'll find the freshest stuff on Fridays. Korean food brings people together. I'm so glad we have Meet in our city. I certainly hope this is the beginning of a trend in exceptional Korean dining experiences in Seattle. I'm ready for more. read more

High class KBBQ made its way into Seattle! Must Tries: Beef Combo I been to Meet a couple of times and have had a great experience each time. Before this the only KBBQ place I have been too where the staff cooks the meat for you was in LA. Which is pretty much stateside Korea 2.0. So when I heard there was a new KBBQ place in Capital Hill here in Seattle I was all for it. The first time I came here was for right when they opened after the pandemic restrictions were lifted. The meat quality is really good here and the staff is super friendly. I enjoy the sides as well, the corn and veggies they give you to eat along side your meal is great! A special shout out for sides is the Egg that is so light and fluffy. Recently my family came here to have a bday celebration and the 6 of us ordered a beef combo large and pork combo large. It was a huge amount of food so I would for sure come here on an empty stomach and a FULL wallet. I say this cause this place is not cheap. That quality comes at a price and if you come here expecting 40 bucks down all you can eat, you will be disappointed. But if you want to upscale your KBBQ for a special event, this is the place to do it! read more

A+. Meats are great, banchan is great, service is great. Honestly, one of the best Korean BBQ places I've been to.

Everything but the meat was lackluster. When we arrived, the banchan (which was about 50% onions), was already sitting out in the sun and warm. The salad was onions. The tap water was warm with no ice. The meal came with an egg custard that was literally just puffy scrambled egg in a hotpot. There was no rice. The table was too large to share dishes, so we had to pass them back and forth, and talk around a large vent that reached down to the table. The meat was good. My search for KBBQ in Seattle equivalent to anything like Genwa in LA continues. This was not it. read more

Meet Korean BBQ - Egg custard looked better than it tasted, it was literally scrambled egg. - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Seems like this place still needs to iron out A LOT of kinks. We showed up as a party of 3 on the second day of opening and waited around 15-20 minutes for two different servers to "check in the back to see if there are any tables open". We finally got fed up and grabbed the guy who seemed like the manager of the place. He said he couldn't seat us because 1) We didnt have a reservation and 2) You have to be a party of 4 to make reservations. ????? If we wanted to be seated, we'd have to come back 3 hours later. It's totally unacceptable that it took THREE different people to tell us they couldn't seat us/don't accept walk-ins. And BTW, we never saw those two servers again lol. I'm sure the food here is great (the meat quality looked amazing), but maybe wait a few days/weeks/months for them to figure out how to seat parties of less than 4 people. TLDR; Grab some friends and make a reservation if you wanna eat here. read more

Pricy but SO YUMMY!! I LOVE KBBQ! Meat was so good sides so good I had a great time. Got the meat lovers or something idk.

We had a fantastic meal at Meet last night - our party ordered the large beef feast, the large pork feast, the bounty mushroom appetizer, and the wings. The feasts come with all of the sides (soup, egg soufflé, cheese corn, banchan and ssam), all of which were solid (although the banchan is mostly pickles/kimchi - it would be nice to get some more variety in the rotation there). If you have big eaters in your group, the feasts are definitely the way to go - a la carte would be a better option for 1-2 diners, but the feasts come in smaller sizes too. The highlights of the meats were the beef zabuton, the skirt steak, and the pork howl. Service was excellent (servers did a great job re: cooking the meats on the table grill, ensuring drinks were always replenished, making small talk). Meet offers a good selection of Korean beer and liquor, too. There is even a convenient garage across the street on Summit that offers $5 parking (after 5 pm). No question we'll be back. read more

I wanted to love this place so much. Living on cap hill for 10+ years, I've been waiting for a kbbq place. When Trove opened up, I was like "yesssss", and it turned out to be mediocre at best. So when I heard that the chef/owner of chan (delicious Korean/fusion in pike place) was opening meet kbbq, I got really excited. Of course, I started following them on insta right away, so I could keep an eye on when they were opening. So when I saw that they were opening, I forced my boyfriend to go check it out on opening day. And we got there a little early and they were able to squeeze us in. It's a kbbq concept where you have your server come around and cook your meat for you. If you've been cote in NYC, it's pretty much the same concept. We got the signature feast, which was $49/person. It came with: kurobuta pork jowl, kurobuta pork belly, Angus prime boneless short rib, american wagyu zabuton, and honey marinated Angus prime skirt steak (which comes to your table cooked, whereas everything else is grilled at the table). Aside from the meat- you get corn cheese, banchan (mostly picked veg and kimchi), ssam, gyeranjjim (egg soufflé), and tour choice of stew (kimchijjigae or doenjang jjigae). We decided to go with the kimchi jjigae. We also got a side of rice (which is extra, but every order of rice, a portion goes to their current charity) and kalbi marinated Wagyu beef belly. The pork options were done, nothing 'wow' about them. We felt the same way about the Angus prime short rib- it was good, but no wow factor. Then we had the american wagyu zabuton and WOW. That was some good meat. Tender, juicy, perfectly cooked. Buttery. I could have eaten their entire stock of it. Then came out the honey marinated skirt steak...underwhelming. And over marinated, overly sweet, just not what I'm used to. The kalbi marinated beef belly cake out- thinly sliced meat with the sauce poorer atop and then grilled. It was good, but again, missing the wow factor. Kimchijjigae was just ok and the boyfriend didn't love the banchan, but I love all things pickled, so I didn't mind. Overall, it was little bit disappointing. Because I was hoping for more of an L.A. Kang Ho Dong experience, and instead it was more like a lesser version of NYC's Cote. Less meat, our gyeranjjim was burned/overcooked, but one upside is that the chef/owner cooked most of our meats for us and obviously cooked them well and was super nice and friendly. And I learned how delicious American wagyu zabuton is. I hope that the kinks get worked out, cause I want to support! read more

Small menu, meat is fresh, and a good amount of side dishes. If you go ala carte for meat choices, then you can pay extra for side items such as the cheese corn, steamed egg and soup for additional $15. read more

The meat quality is nice but as a kbbq experience it feels expensive for what you get. Tl;dr: yes the meat quality is nice and yes the staff are nice but the banchan, rice and actual cooking the meat misses the spot. Also skip if you have a group larger than 4. I went with a group of 11 so we ended up getting two beef feasts and one pork feast. While the meat quality was nice, it was everything else that brought me down. The banchan tries too hard- we had pickled oysters which is cool but also sometimes I just want the fish cakes and the potatoes. A bowl of rice is $2 and ours wasn't cooked well at all. Extra cheese corn ? $3 for the little dish. It felt like everything was extra and every time I had to ask for something I had to openly make sure it wasn't extra money. I felt that every time the server came by it was to ask me if I wanted to spend even more money through drinks, extra meat or extra sides. I also didn't think that having one server for 11 people was smart - the food was always overcooked and I openly pointed it out to the server (sorry dude) but if I'm paying for this - I expect the quality in the amount I'm paying. Overall, yes the meat quality is nice and I applaud the staff for taking my criticism in person very well but I didn't enjoy the high prices and I would recommend large groups to skip this place. read more

TOP NOTCH meat quality, probably the best I've had outside of LA. I tried the signature feast, and all the beef is perfectly marbled, it just melts in your mouth. The pork was delicious too; the pork belly was not too fatty like a lot of other KBBQ places. The ssam sauce to dip the meat in was bomb. Believe it or not, even the oyster mushroom that came with the feast was amazing. It's the first time I've had mushroom that not only has a perfect not-so-chewy texture, but a little flavour of its own too. The lettuce was unlimited too which was very nice. My favorite side was the egg souffle; it was so fluffy! I really want to give this place 5 stars, but I just can't because of all of the following: - We were four people and all ordered the signature feast. However, the feast came with only one small bowl of soybean paste stew, one bowl of egg souffle, and one tiny tray of corn cheese. When we asked the server about it, she said they will only add one more serving of those if the party is 5+ people. The fact that if we all sat at our own table and would have gotten more food for the same price just baffles me. - Speaking of the stew and the corn cheese, they were pretty disappointing. The stew was way too salty and the corn cheese was mainly corn and very little cheese. - One bottle of regular 5$-in-a-supermarket soju was 15$. - Remember the delicious mushroom that I mentioned? There were only two of them to be shared among four people. I had half a mushroom. - The side dishes were meh. None of them opened my appetite. - I left hungry. If should have known it was not going to be enough since the beginning when our server HIGHLY recommended the bibimbap and chicken wings. Usually when I get a meat combo at another Korean BBQ (especially a 50$ per person one), I definitely don't need anything extra to fill me up. Here, you probably do. Despite all this, I am giving Meet a 4 stars; that's how good the meat is. But I'll not be coming back hungry next time. The service was great. The owner cooked our meat for us, and it was perfectly cooked every time. If only they could give a soup, corn cheese and souffle for each person (as each person is paying for it), we would not leave hungry and I would definitely rate it a 5 stars. read more

It's refreshing to see an elevated version of your traditional Korean BBQ. Yeah you pay more than your standard kbbq joints, but to me it's worth it. The meat itself is buttery soft and high quality, but it's really everything else that sold it for me. I liked that they had the green onion salad and ssam leaves to wrap the meat in. The jiggly egg soufflé was good too. They said the salt was smoked in house and honestly I didn't need any sauces except a little bit of that salt on the meat bc the meat is that good. The vibe is cool and the cocktails were pretty good. I really appreciated that the owner Park came to talk to us- apparently he's the owner of Chan and Bacco Cafe too. One suggestion would be to bring in the somaek tower! read more
