Our servers were great, the vibes in the restaurant are date night/special occasion worthy and the quality of the meat was nice. If 4.5 was an option we would give it that for a couple reasons, specifically around the quantity of meat for restaurant week. It listed (3) or (6) on the options, but we ended up getting 2 pieces of meat per option and 1 for the dessert cut totaling to 184 with auto gratuity of 20%. Overall, it was a great experience and the banchan/quality of the meats were a treat. My girlfriend also was a big fan of the Lychee Taiwan beer. Would recommend checking it out for a special occasion or during restaurant week.

Had a great dinner at Meet -- definitely on the more upscale side of kbbq. The vibe is trendy and fun with neon lights and hanging meats. Service was excellent -- the staff cooked all the meats for us exactly how we wanted and were very attentive. We went with the signature feast with four cuts of meat. As a banchan lover, I appreciated the variety but it felt average here. My favorites were the cheese corn, seaweed, and radish (though I wish the radish had a bit more tang). The cucumber didn't quite hit for me since I prefer a more punchy flavor. For the meats, I believe we had two beef cuts, pork belly, and bulgogi. The second cut of beef was our favorite -- super tender, soft, and you could really taste the marbling. All the cuts were high quality and well-prepared. The pork belly fried rice was decent. But I would just get the beef feast next time which doesn't include the fried rice. Even though the individual cuts felt small, with all the banchan we ended up stuffed by the end. A great spot for a nicer KBBQ night out. It's definitely pricier, but worth checking out for the quality and experience.

Meet has great service and cooks the meat for you however it's not worth the price. Meet is dimly lit inside with the check in in the middle of the restaurant. There's also a unisex restroom space with 3 individual rooms and a communal hand washing space. Upon seating, you'll get a corn cheese to share. Meet is NOT AYCE but by item (wagyus) or by sets. I got the small beef feast which is recommended for 2 people (large is for 3-4 people). We got 4 different cuts of meat, some banchan, soybean stew, and soufflé egg as part of the set. The banchan are not typical at other Korean spots and were too vinegary for my liking. The stew was light in flavor and the egg was good. Meat was tender and again, cooked by staff. Overall, the Korean food here is americanized and not what you usually think of. Although staff cooks for you, it's pretty pricey. I'd rather enjoy the food and meat at other kbbq spots. There's also a included 20% gratuity so keep that in mind.

Overall: great service and vibes, decent food, pricey. Great for a date night spot. The atmosphere and service here were definitely the highlight of the experience. The servers cook the meat for you, which is definitely welcomed especially when having a few glasses of soju with your dinner. We got the signature feast for the 2 of us, as well as the steak tartare. The amount of food was okay, but definitely on the pricier side. Yhe meat quality was decent, but nothing super outstanding. I would skip the yukhoe, it wasnt bad but I wouldn't get it again. The one at Daeho has a lot more flavor to it. My one real complaint was that ALL of the banchan were pickled items. And this is coming from someone who loves pickles and sour things. I was craving some fishcake, bean sprouts, spinach, potato... ANYTHING that was more umami/savory. As a kbbq and banchan lover, I was disappointment by the assortment. Honestly, the overall experience was good and I'd recommend coming here once, but I'm not sure it's worth more than that. I don't mind spending more money on a nice meal, I just don't think the value is really here.

Beef Feast small + Zabuton a la carte
Yuri Y.

Dropped by the other day and was shocked by how nice this place is! This was my first time experiencing KBBQ where they cook for you! Totally blown away by the service and attention to detail. They never burnt or overcooked my meat, it was perfectly medium rare every single time. The meat doesn't need any sauces either, just a touch of salt and it goes a long way. Huge shout to out our waiter, Andre & Larry. They took care of our table and were really fun to talk to! They made sure to time the cooking and brought in our banchans so we never ran out. The interior of this place is super cool, its low light ambiance with undertones of purple is kind of romantic hahah. Totally bring your partners here... for the good food ofc Overall I had a great time! I'd come again~

The meat was higher quality but it's small portions. What is this a kbbq for ants? I have been to korea so it's unfair to compare to their cheaper and better quality meats but I could go to Baekjeong in Lynnwood and feed 2 people quite heartily for around 100 bucks. I don't think the slightly better quality makes up for the 100 dollars. The service was nice and the ambiance ismore of an intimate vibe which is a suitable for a date night. I don't think it's worth coming here personally.

Zabuton
Mike L.

Offers a great dining experience with a stylish interior, friendly service, and high-quality meats. We ordered the marinated bone-in short ribs, pork belly kimchi fried rice, and the zabuton. Everything was cooked well and paired nicely with their wide variety of banchan, which added a lot of flavor and balance to the meal. Overall, it's a solid spot for Korean BBQ--great food, great service, and a place we'd definitely return to.

Mireya S.

When you step in the vibe is very chill. We came here for our office Christmas party. Everything was so flavorful and fresh. Not your typical Korean BBQ as they have a cook at your table cooking the meat for you. Our cook Jessie was so informative and answered all our questions. We all left happy with full belly's.

We've been to Seattle twice and Meet KBBQ has been on my food lists both times! My bf and I got the signature feast and it was the perfect amount of food for us considering we haven't eaten all day. Everything was so good, but wasn't crazy about their spread of banchan, I only liked maybe 3. Servers cook for you and there was never a time where we felt like our meats were cooking past our preference of medium rare. They already add 20% gratuity to your tab but jokes on them, I was already going to tip 20%. Restaurant is nicely decorated and clean, good place for date night! I'll be waiting to eat this again the next time I'm back in Seattle!

Beef

I've heard a lot about this place, and figured I would try it for their Seattle Restaurant Week menu. We made a reservation ahead of time and were promptly seated at a large table. It was a three course set menu with different types of meat, and they had the banchan already set up at the table. There were a few items, but none stood out that much. We also got the steamed egg and doenjang jjigae which I actually really liked. Onto the meat - the portions were quite small but they all did taste pretty good. I liked the pork belly and the more premium beef options a lot. They cook it all for you so you don't even have to do any work. Overall, this is definitely a more boujee kbbq experience and not the traditional one you might be used to. I think it's a good experience once but I probably wouldn't be back.

Zabuton add-on to the pork feast
Monica M.

Came here late on Halloween and it was surprisingly empty, which was good for us because of the craziness outside. Ordered the pork feast but the cuts were not enjoyable, way too much fat and the pork belly just turned tough so quickly. Very glad we added on beef Zabuton because it is worth the $65 compared to rest of the meat. The marinated pork bulgogi was the next best thing even though it was a but pasty. Bar was already closed when we arrived (odd, since we made a reservation and had the last time slot) so we weren't able to try drinks except for soda, and getting even that was like pulling teeth with our server. We left feeling the $300 tab wasn't worth it. If we try here again we'll skip the pork and stick to the higher end beef choices.

This place is so good that I went back twice within a week. Everyones knows that Korean BBQ is good but there are the type that is just average that you can't tell one restaurant from the other and there are the ones that stand out from the rest and this is of the latter. I normally prefer Suwon style kalbi because they are more tender and has a sweet undertone. Although this is not Suwon style but it's still delicious. I highly highly recommend the marinated beef short ribs and prefer it over any thing else. They do have a lot of combo choices and if it's your first time trying Korean BBQ then order a combo. But if you know Korean BBQ then I'd highly recommend the marinated kalbi because they are tender juicy and absolutely phenomenal. It's so good that I'd rate them as good as top 3 in the Bay Area. The pork belly is also good but beef is better in this case. Service is very good. It's mostly young guys cooking for you which is different from many family style Korean restaurants where ajuma cook but it's more high-class and modern I guess? I'd totally put this a must go restaurant in Seattle if you like meat. If you are vegetarian don't bother. Place itself is also nicer inside than you'd expect from the building itself. Overall one of the best restaurants in Seattle or maybe even in the US for Korean BBQ fans.

Sam L.

Located on a street corner, we were welcomed and quickly taken to our table. The inside was nicely decorated with sharp and modern edges. For a group of 3, we ordered both the beef feast and pork feast. This location cooks your meat for you, which was a bit different than my usual experiences. The beef was nicely cooked and tender, but the portion was still quite small. The pork feast was really disappointing in flavor, and I honestly can't recommend it and would suggest ordering something else. The side dishes they served were also mediocre. The servers were nice and attentive though, and answered questions we had, as well as assisted us very quickly! However, for the price of this location, I can't say it offers anything unique (aside from high quality cuts of beef) for its dining experience to justify the price.

Brisket was the best protein, it was tender, juicy, flavorful. Lamb was good, little gamey taste, the chimimuri sauce was good but wish they put it on the side because it warmed up on the lamb and it wasn't that great anymore. All the sides were delicious. Their chilli was meat heavy but a little salty. We even got Mac and cheese as a take out just because it looks good and it was good as well. Service is great, price is good for the portion.

The staff was excellent super friendly, helpful, and quick with taking orders, clearing dishes, and swapping out the grill without us ever having to ask. For just $5 more, the premium menu is 100% worth it especially for the wagyu. Everything we tried was delicious, but our favorites were the wagyu cubes and the lollipop lamb chops. On top of that, they offer a salad bar, fruit/dessert, and a sauce station to round out the meal. The atmosphere was another highlight: modern, clean, and comfortable, which made the experience even better. The only downside is the time limit, but honestly, 90 minutes was plenty for us to enjoy everything. Overall, we loved our visit and will definitely be coming back!

Legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, our ancestors lived by eating raw meat and…read moredrinking blood. One day, lightning struck a tree, causing a massive forest fire that killed many animals. Our ancestors then discovered that cooked meat tasted much better than raw meat. This is why roast meat has always been regarded as an important part of the human diet. Today I gathered with friends and chose this barbecue restaurant. It's located north of Redmond, with a prominent sign and plenty of parking. Ambiance: The decor is creative, but it feels quite contradictory. Barbecue is inherently a very "Jianghu" (lively, rough-and-tumble) kind of thing, yet the restaurant leans toward an artistic, literary style. When I used to run my own restaurant, I followed a principle: avoid anything unrelated to the core dining experience. Seeing many books on the shelves here, I understand they're trying to bridge Jianghu and artistry -- but it clearly feels out of place. That said, the place is very clean, and the stickers/decorations are festive. Service: My high rating for this restaurant is largely based on the service. After we sat down, we were given free appetizers -- braised peanuts, which tasted great. The staff training is very professional, whether it's taking orders, making recommendations, attending to us during the meal, or checking on tables and refilling water. All excellent. Taste: Jianghu-style cuisine is characterized by boldness, satisfaction, and not sweating the small details. We ordered spicy hot pot (Malatang), spicy hot pot skewers, grilled beef, lamb, chicken gizzards, oysters, and many other items. First, the Malatang and spicy skewers tasted almost identical, so it felt like eating the same thing. The grilled skewers were just average -- neither good nor bad. The oysters were very tasty. However, the shrimp in the spicy skewers were very unfresh, which was disappointing. "By the way, the prices at 'Friendship Skewers' are anything but friendly -- I think it's quite overpriced overall."
