Seattle moment…read more Walking around downtown, I spotted this old corned beef spot that's been there since 1948 and decided to go in. First guy I talked to either came from Dallas or knows Dallas inside and out. He has family there, has lived in Seattle a long time, and told me his grandfather used to bring him here as a kid. He's been eating here basically his whole life. Second guy had lived here for 40 years and said this was somehow his first time ever trying it, even though he'd walked past it forever and always meant to stop in. We stood there talking for a while. Really good guy. The woman behind the counter did not speak English, so I got to tell her in my very limited Spanish, "Thank you very much for your work. It looks beautiful. I really appreciate it." She answered me in Spanish, and then I had to admit, also in Spanish, that I was very sorry but I did not understand Spanish, I only barely know how to speak it. She laughed. I laughed. It was great. Then I got back home, opened the box they split for me and my mom, and this was half of it: best Reuben I have ever had in my life. Just one of those unexpectedly great little trip moments. Good food, good people, good conversation, and one of those places that feels like it's been holding onto a piece of the city for a long time.

Falling River Meats is one of those places I'm genuinely glad we have in town. I not only come here…read morefor meat but lunch or dinner as well, which says a lot. They offer clean cuts, good variety, and staff who actually know where the meat comes from and how it was raised. It feels intentional, not mass-market, and that's why I trust it when I'm cooking for my family. Their salads and sandwiches are an easy go-to, and on weekends the smash burgers are worth planning around. Simple, well-seasoned, cooked right. No gimmicks. I'll usually grab a burger here and then walk next door for a beer at Volition Brewing, which makes for a pretty great low-effort lunch or dinner. They stock a ton of other things as well, worth stopping in when you're in town to see what they have. This place works because it's consistent. Whether I'm shopping for a special meal, stocking up for the week, or just grabbing something quick to eat, Falling River Meats always delivers.

They had plenty of seating and we were able to fit our group of 6 into a booth. While they only have one grill per table, when the fire is turned on, it is really high so things cook so quickly! They have a couple of different tiers of options, but my family loves galbi so we opted for the premium tier ($45). The mid tier (I believe $35) you can go serve yourself all of the meat, but the premium meats are brought out. We tried galbi, ribeye and scallops from the premium menu, which were all tasty (the galbi pieces were large and marinated well, ribeye was nice and red, and scallops while small, came in the shell). Most of the sides and meats are self service which is also nice. They have many different side dishes (including cheese corn!), different pickled veggies, garlic, lettuce, sauces, and the meats and some seafood like shrimp and squid were self serve including a nice cold meat refrigerator for the thin slices such as brisket and belly. They even have a hot bar that I didn't try with various fried foods. They also had oranges, and my favorite - a self serve soft serve ice cream station! Yum! There were also yogurt drinks at the end. It is a lovely place that I think it is mom and pop - we had a sweet lady as our server and she was nothing but smiles. Things can get busy so it took some time for our premium meats to come out but no worries as there were plenty of self serve things to eat while we were waiting. This is my favorite KBBQ place in the Lynnwood/Shoreline area so far, so will definitely be 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."

We orderd the set that's enough for 2 people and had unmarinated cuts of beef. The banchans were also very fresh. I think there were about 10 banchans and each one was good. I do think the soybean soup was lacking some salt, but I did enjoy everything else.

It's an all-you-can-eat with a coal grill, and you get 90 minutes once you're seated, so come hungry and ready to order. 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!
