Took a look at the menu and noticed the Combo Special prices went up again, since the last time we came to this restaurant! The Beef Bulgogi and Tofu Soup combo showed a price of $37.99! I recall it being $28.99 - $34.99 in the past 2-3 years! Dunno why the prices keep going up, but that's something we realized while checking out the menu, which has been pretty much the same ever since the first time. Our complimentary fried fish and side dishes were dropped off at our table shortly after placing our food order. Then about 10 minutes later, we received the Bibimbap and Beef Bulgogi. Seemed like the meat dish's portion size dropped once again! It used to be a bigger sized plate, if I remember correctly... Anyway, we enjoyed our food and atmosphere while we dined in. Service was great, as usual. But the prices keep going up, so we do not drop by as often as before.

Thank you Stephen and Nancy for making our visit so special! :) My partner and I decided to drop by to try Do Si KBBQ and we're so glad we did. The service was amazing, music was great, and they even had LoL games up on a screen which was chef's kiss! Iykyk ;) Meat quality was great, they had an amazing selection of appetizers/side dishes, and it was very clean inside. I was surprised at the quality of the appetizers... especially the bean paste soup and crispy pancake. S-tier!

The premium pricing went up from 38.50 to 41.50 but you get a ton of variety which is nice. Appetizers are included, so you can't go wrong with that. Our favorites were the LA Galbi, and the thinly sliced pork belly. The potato salad and bean sprouts had a strange taste, almost like dishwater which threw us off for those bites. Radish and the kimchi cucumbers were great though. I'd give it a 4.5 if I could, highly recommend it but beware of the banchan...

A party of 2 or more is recommended for the kbbq because of the amount of meat that is served. They do have entree items that are perfect for one person. We tried the premium butcher feast option and it gave us some flexibility in what kinds of meat we wanted. My personal favorites is the wagyu steak and the zabuton. Super tender and soft. Some of the other meats I thought were a bit too chewy or fatty. The feast is definitely more than enough for two people. It includes side dishes, salad, tofu soup and steamed egg. The interior is very spacious, clean and modern. They did an impressive job with the menu as everything looks appetizing. I'd like to come back to try the entree dishes. Overall, the presentation looks aesthetically pleasing. It is a little more expensive compared to other kbbq spots but you are definitely paying for the quality.

Overall had a great time here and would come back!…read more Food The premium bento was $20 after tax. It came filled with plenty of food, enough for two servings for me, and came out fresh and hot. My favs were the pickled cabbage, stir fried fish cakes, and sesame ball. I would not get the chicken again as I found it dry. I liked the fish cakes a lot and in the future would consider buying a container separately. I look forward to trying other menu items Service We ordered on the screen but the food came out quickly. The minimal staff interaction we did have was pleasant. You do not bus your own table Ambiance Very clean and casual. Decor reminded me of a cafe almost. Not a ton of seating, but the way the food is packaged makes it great for travel/to-go

This small and intimate Korean restaurant is nestled in a small business center…read more When I visited the first time, I was hoping to try their kimchi but the smallest option to purchase was a 5lb bag. I cannot commit to large volume when I don't know what it taste like. So instead I ordered kimbop and their soup of the day. That soup of the day - it was a beef and radish soup. Insane flavor! The broth was delicious and left us wanting to try more foods. Came back and of course ordered more of the soup of the day which was still the beef and radish. And also ordered a Korean lunch box. The offerings in the box were delicious. The Korean tonkatsu was crispy and paired with a sauce that was very sweet. A little too sweet for my liking. But the egg omelette was delicious. The jap chae was seasoned well. We will definitely keep coming back to this place. The food is good and offers a great addition to the neighborhood.

These folks probably need another great review like Elon Musk needs an increase in his allowance,…read morebut fairness demands that I not keep silent regarding my enjoyment of this restaurant: THE ROSES: Ample dedicated parking. The staff is gracious, prompt, professional, and - I hope no one objects when I say this - rather attractive. Generous portions and reasonable prices for what you're getting. The food is nothing sort of legendary - bold flavors and dishes have the perfect balance of sweet, heat, savory, and umami. THE THORNS: None significant enough to mention. NEITHER ROSE NOR THORN: It is important to note that this place is insanely popular with the area's Korean community. The restaurant is quite busy Thursday thru Sunday, and significant waits for a table are likely. Monday thru Wednesday is your best time for going and getting a table without a wait. The price of some dishes, like their signature offering, Kalbijjim, might give you a pause ($80+). It is important to keep in mind this is made to order, and one serving can easily serve four regular appetites. If you're just a couple, you're definitely going to be taking this home with you. This is not a bad thing, as Kalbijjim is one of those dishes that is even better the next day and doesn't suffer from reheating. THE VERDICT: Daeho Kalbijjim is extremely popular, and it's not hard to see why. The execute authentic Korean cuisine pretty much flawlessly with efficient and charming service. What else to you want in a restaurant? Highly recommend. Just try not to go on the busy days.

I wanted to give this place a second chance because I know a lot of people really enjoy it, but…read moreunfortunately my experiences were underwhelming. As i always say go try it for yourself. The first time I visited, the quality of the meat cuts didn't impress me, and the soups lacked depth of flavor. I'm not talking about needing more salt--the broth itself just tasted flat. When you're paying close to $30 for a bowl of soup, I think it's reasonable to expect a higher level of quality and care to ingredients. The second visit was a mixed experience. To be fair, I was in the wrong. There is a clearly posted policy stating that your entire party must be present before being seated. My group was about seven minutes away, and since I had already checked in on Yelp and there were only two parties ahead of me with no one physically waiting, I asked if I could be seated and order while I waited. I had already been standing inside for about 10 minutes. I was told that although tables were available, seating me ahead of the other parties on the waitlist would be unfair. I understood the reasoning, but she had also asked prior for my order. Her explanation left me confused so i sheepishly said I understood the policy. She already seemed upset by the time i had gotten there. Sometimes we have off days i get that. This place is clearly hit or miss, I've got friends who absolutely swear by it. For me, though, it wasn't anything special and didn't justify the price. If you're looking for Korean food in the area, I've had better experiences with higher-quality dishes elsewhere, especially in Lynnwood.

GEN KOREAN BBQ @ SOUTHCENTER MALL…read more Parking is super easy at this location since it's in the Southcenter Mall, with plenty of free parking available. We found a spot right out front, and it's nice that you can also walk around the mall before or after your meal since there are lots of other shops and restaurants nearby. This was my first time trying JEN Korean BBQ with my family, and I was excited since I'd heard they have several locations across the U.S. We came for dinner, which is about $35 per person for the all-you-can-eat menu, while weekday lunch is around $25 per person, making it a great value if you're looking for AYCE Korean BBQ. They have a great selection of meats, plus plenty of appetizers. The corn cheese was definitely one of my favorites and is always a must-order for me. Everything came out fresh, and there were lots of options to choose from. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to bring out refills. I also really liked the ambiance the darker interior gives the restaurant a cozy, modern feel that's perfect for enjoying a meal with family or friends. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely come back. If you enjoy Korean BBQ, this is a fun spot where you can cook your own food, try a variety of meats and sides, and eat as much as you want. It's a great place for groups, family dinners, or anyone craving all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ.

Food was mediocre. The marinated beef wasn't too bad tho. There weren't much sauces. I thought the…read moresnack bar had some more sauces where you could make your own but there's only one on your table labeled dipping sauce. The pork belly comes with a sauce they bring for you. Speaking of pork belly they were too chewy we cooked it for long enough and it was still very chewy. Service was trash. The lady that was our server poured all the meat on our fryer so half of the meat was stacked on top of each other so it took longer to cooked. We're already on a 90 minute time crunch. If my step dad wasn't pestering the lady for a next round they wouldn't have checked on us and we would've been waiting for 30 minutes. While we were waiting for the second round the lady told us to turn off our heater when we're not using it, the man later came and turned it back on and told us to keep it at level 400-500. The next time we got the food she tried to put all the meat on the fryer again my step dad said "It's okay we got it, thank you" she looked at us like we didn't know what we were doing. Later on she looked at how we put everything on the fryer she looked and laughed at us TWICE.

The display was beautiful but the rice didn't crisp up against the stone pot the way I expected, and that may have been because of how it was plated. I also ordered the six piece mixed fried chicken - the chicken was super hot, freshly fried and flavorful. I can definitely see why they advertise the chicken on the door. It's not my favorite Korean place but I'll definitely come back here if in the area.
