    Lowkey play a bunch of bangers here

    I've walked past Seoul Meat Co (and smelled it) many times while in the Totem Lake area, and I finally got the opportunity to try it out! My family and I came for an early Father's Day dinner, and our wait didn't take very long. My family and I opted for the normal dinner set, which was priced at $51. This is definitely on the pricier end for meals, but it comes with a huge variety of meat and sides that you normally can't get at other korean bbq restaurants. I'm a pretty simple guy, so my favorites were definitely the beef brisket, short rib, and spicy pork belly. These meats were well-marinated, with a delicious flavor that we kept reordering! I definitely wanted to try the other meats, like the green tea pork belly or marinated pineapple steak, but those initial meats were just too good. They had many different sides as well - I loved having corn cheese slowly cooking on the grill so we could dip the meat into it. Their cucumber kimchi and steamed egg were highlights as well. I do however wish they had more variety of banchan like other kbbq restaurants (potato salad, fish cake, braised potato, etc), but the ones they had were good. There were a few sides I would skip out on in the future; the tofu soup was a bit bland in my opinion, and the fried chicken, dumpings, and japchae were overall fine. Definitely stick with the meats here! For a busy Father's Day, service was great. Despite the restaurant being very busy, there was always someone frequently checking in on our table, and whenever we ordered, the meats would come out within a minute. Definitely appreciated how fast and attentive everyone was.

    Place is amazing. Recommend the restaurant highly. Good food, steady service and restrooms are alright. Had a great family time. We certainly will be back.

    My friend and I decided get KBBQ and she said this was her go-to. I decided to invite some friends and they were all raving about it, so I was intrigued. I had no idea this place existed and I often came to this area for other things. This restaurant is kind of hidden but not. You can easily miss it if you aren't paying attention. We arrived around 4:30pm on a Sunday and only half the place was full. The place seemed newer and more modern for most KBBQ restaurants I've been to. This place was very minimalistic and vibes were more fitting for people in their 20-30s. We were seated fairly quickly and served almost immediately. Not long after we started eating, they were SLAMMED. All the seats were taken up and there was a huge line out the door. It looked like people were lined up for a club. We showed up at the PERFECT time. Surprisingly, the service did not slow down at all! If anything, I felt like the servers picked up the pace! I was thoroughly impressed with the service. The food was good! They had the largest variety of pork belly I've ever seen. Definitely heaven for pork belly lovers. And the cuts were thick, scored, and wrapped beautifully when they bring it to you. I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of it. Everything else was pretty standard. The brisket, beef belly, and kalbi were good but nothing stood out. The pork belly was definitely the star, but the thing that was missing was ssamjang. The banchan was solid. I really enjoyed the kimchi and the pickled daikon. One thing I'd note is that the servings were small. I normally would complain about that, but the service was so quick that it didn't matter. In fact we were able to control the portions better and the meat was always fresh. It was a great first experience and I'll have to come here again to get a picture of that pork belly.

    $51 weekend all you can eat! Located in a very food filled complex, and the environment was quite nice - not too smoky since they had the vents. Had to flag down some waiters but they were understandably busy manning all the tables. We asked for pineapples on the side to grill and they were very accommodating. Meat was very worth it, and quality is consistent with that of an AYCE KBBQ. Ribeye steak is 1 piece per person and that is probably one of my favorite cuts.

    This place is great for AYCE kbbq! They have a vast menu with a ton of items, so you can try a bunch of things. I would stick with the pork and beef, and some of the sides. We came without a reservation and only had to wait around 15 minutes for a table, which was really convenient. My favorite items were the spicy beef brisket, garlic pork belly, and marinated rib finger - all of them were so flavorful and juicy. I also enjoyed the ribeye, which I'd definitely recommend taking advantage of the one per person limit. Their steamed egg was also one of the best I've had, and their banchan were great too! Service was super attentive and came to check on us for a grill change / next round of orders very often. I appreciated how friendly they were too. Highly recommend!

    This place had a rocky start when it opened (and a rocky, delayed road to opening), but now that it's been here for over a year, it's a decent place. They've tuned some things and made improvements, and that's good. THE GOOD The food is great. The incredible variety of meats and side dishes was fantastic, and the quality was top-notch. All very good. They have overhead venting (that's the dark shadow you see in every grill photo on this listing), and it works very well. They aldo change out the grill grate for you as you cook, which is a particularly nice touch. Temp was just right, and they provide plenty of utensils. THE BAD The place is louder than it needs to be, mainly because the music is blasting at too great a volume in this kind of space. The space is pretty in an industrial, concrete, and metal kind of way. Seating is comfortable--with one big exception. If you sit along the wall, all is good. If you sit in the middle, you will be C-O-L-D in the winter. They leave the back door fully open, creating a wind through the restaurant. A cold and fairly strong wind. Ask them to close the door (because everyone at your table is wearing coats and is still uncomfortably cold), and they will begrudgingly comply. But the door will get propped back open (not fully), which still creates a cold wind, just not the hurricane-force wind from before. This is unacceptable in a restaurant like this. I get that the kitchen gets hot, but that's expected. Don't punish your guests for it. The service to get seated is not great. No reservations. Understaffed. A wait for a table when there does not need to be a wait. During mealtime, the service improved markedly and was great, but getting to the point of ordering was not pleasant. Great after that. That low health department score (only Okay). Ugh. It's been that way since they opened. They really need to address that and improve their score. This issue kept us away for a long time, and it's definitely a yellow flag that needs to be cleared by the management. Loved this place overall, and we will return. But the freezing wind and the only Okay health score both need to be fixed.

    The food (All-You-Eat) was great. The service was great too. I can about an hour before they closed. An All-You-Eat Kotean barbecue restaurant. There is free parking and free parking garage.

    Food: 5/5 Love love love this place! If you want an AYCE kbbq experience for a fair price and quality meats, this is where you want to go! The side dishes were pretty good too! Service: 5/5 They are tentative and were accommodating to my odd requests (I was the person in your math tests getting an odd amount of things, in this case the sweet potato slices). They were really kind and recommended me meat options that were "bang for your buck". Ambiance: 5/5 Typical KBBQ place, high ceilings, loud, large tables, nothing you won't see at a kbbq place. Overall: 5/5 I'd go again. Great place for large gatherings or a solo day

    I came here on a Saturday around 5pm for dinner with my group of 7 and our wait time ended up being about an hour. With this being said, it's best to come early here since there's always a ton of people waiting to eat here on a weekend. Thankfully, you can put your name on a waitlist and wait for a text saying your table's ready, all while walking around the Totem Lake area where you can check out Cinemark, Trader Joe's and other places around the area. To get here, parking in the parking garages nearby is suggested. It's bustling like hell here with tons of noise from patrons, servers walking back and forth around the area, and K-pop music blasting from the speakers and on TV sets around the restaurant. There's a combination of indoor and outdoor seating, where outdoor seating has some heat lamps. Regardless, be prepared to smell like grilled meat by the time you're done here. Service was very rushed among many of the servers we asked for certain utensils like extra plates, water and napkins. One server also accidentally knocked over my chopsticks, and it took a little while to flag down another server to ask for a new pair and - at one point - even a plate for sharing. Our food was still solid though, especially with the meats we got from their all-day premium deal. My favorites were the marinated pineapple steak and the top blade steak, and my table - which was mostly split between a 3- and 4-person group but still together - got those two meats multiple times. Both had a nice marinated flavor that we kept coming back for. Our sides were also pretty good; they have soft tofu soup here, and they don't skimp on the spice on it. Truffle fries were one of my friends' favorite.

    Very fast service, before the waiter left our table, our request came out as he was taking our order. Meat quality is pretty good. The grill has a hood so you don't smell too much like KBBQ afterwards like other places. Has a decent amount of variety of sides. Love that they have steam eggs and soups! Always a nice treat if you want to spend a bit more and get good quality and value.

    The quality is very nice with lots of seating! There's also staff is very friendly and they are quick with getting you meats and changing the grill. However, for 2 people it was about $140 (including tip) so definitely expensive for kbbq.

    This was my first ever Korean BBQ. I have nothing to compare to so take my review with a big grain of salt! I'm not really a fan of all you can eat places. And this restaurant was super noisy and HOT! It was a hot day as well but it seemed like there was zero ventilation inside. The servers were super friendly and helpful! 5 stars! All the meat I tried and sides were delicious. There was nothing that I didn't like. Truffle pork belly and beef bulgogi stood out in flavor for me. If you're a meat lover, this is the place to be! If you enjoy talking over dinner, this isn't it haha.

    Can I get on the waitlist when I'm on the way?

    First come, first served. No reservations.

    Are children counted as "per person" and charged the same as adults?

    No they do not charge the same as an adult- they charge children by height. You can find that information at the bottom of the menu. Check out the photos of the menu on yelp to see what height is what price.

    Does this place have a phone that works? I found two numbers for them. Neither get answered and both say mailbox full. Just trying to find out if they have tables for 9 people or not. No website, no phone, seems a bit weird?

    You are right that they don't do a good job of answering the phone, but occasionally at low times they will answer. They can make large tables together for you, yes, we have sat 12 before.

    When does lunchtime end?

    3pm

    Do they take reservations?

    Not that I know of. You have to show up and put your name down on their virtual waitlist then they text you when your table is ready.

    Do they only offer AYCE? Or is there any option for regular dining?

    I believe they only have AYCE

    Is this an all you can eat? 40 dollar for the table or per person?

    This price appears to only be during their soft opening and it's per person.

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes

Their menu may not have an all-you-can-eat option, however the serving portions and variety are more than enough. This KBBQ is located in the Redmond Town Center. Their dining space is spacious and perfect for large parties. Their menu features 3 types of combos. We were advised the small size comfortably serves 2 while the large is serves 4. We opted for the small mix combo which had the prime ribeye, beef brisket, king prime short ribs, la seasoned ribs, beef tail flap, pork belly, pork jowl, pork shoulder, and seasoned boneless short ribs. We also ordered a bottle of soju to share. The meats were beautifully presented. They also served an array of banchans including onion salad and lettuce. Service was amazing. Our server always checked in and offered to change our grill pan. Pricing was on par for the meat quality and amount that came with our order. We even ended up with a couple to-go boxes.

Steamed eggs came out looking amazing (haven't seen it like this before) but was on the dry side; to each their own but we like it more brothy like Chicken wings were ok not great... the dish I didn't expect much from was the fried rice but it turned out to be the best dish!! Not because it's just "better than the other dishes" but it was truly amazing, it just had a great taste to it! Soup was yummy too and came with clear noodles Proportions are to the smaller size making prices a bit high but banchans were refilled quickly. Recommend because their food had its own special taste/ dishes that you will remeber it by. Was a fun place to eat and staff was friendly!

From the moment one crosses the threshold, the air itself seems perfumed with a slow‑smoked promise of delight, beckoning diners into a realm where time-honored craft reigns supreme. The brisket, a veritable masterpiece, arrives with a bark so exquisitely rendered it borders on the poetic. Each slice yields with gentle persuasion, revealing marbling that melts into a silken whisper upon the tongue. The ribs, lacquered in a glaze of subtle sweetness and smoky depth, cling tenderly to the bone, surrendering with an elegance that speaks to hours of meticulous tending over smoldering embers. Even the sides--often relegated to mere accompaniment--command admiration. The cornbread is a golden triumph, delicately crumbed yet luxuriously moist, while the collard greens possess a soulful richness that lingers like a cherished memory. And the house-made sauces, presented with almost ceremonial reverence, offer a spectrum of flavor that elevates each bite without ever overshadowing the meat's inherent artistry. Service is attentive without intrusion, delivered with a warmth that mirrors the glowing hearth at the heart of the kitchen. One leaves not merely satisfied, but genuinely moved by the harmony of craft, care, and culinary passion. In a world crowded with pretenders, this BBQ sanctuary stands as a beacon of authenticity and refinement--a place where smoke becomes symphony and every plate tells a story worth savoring.

It's dark, has a bit of a modern feel to it. There is one side that has the BBQ tables and the other half of the restaurant has the regular. Big restaurant, so if you have a large party this place can accommodate. Service: Great! Got there at 11:30, I think we were the first people. It's a real mom & pop shop - I talked to the son, Andy, who works here with his father and grandfather. Andy's a trained french chef, it sounds like everyone in the family are chefs - runs in their blood. He's really proud of his family's restaurant, and told me about how they are selective in where they source all of their food - beef from OR, ban chan ingredients from some Korean farm, some other protein from Idaho - he could name where they sourced all of their ingredients and you can taste it in the food. Food: We ordered 2 lunch sets Lunch JUNGSIK Set · 2 fried mandu - okay, bulgogi - good, mackerel - okay - I just don't prefer it, squid - there was a lot of veggies and kind of had to search for the squid, tofu stew - good I probably wouldn't order this one again Lunch BBQ Set A Pork belly - great cuts, beef bulgogi - so one of these they pre-cooked for us, and the other they did on the grill - I honestly think the one they cooked in the back tasted better - more tender and juicy, brisket was great - small pieces, but good bite size. I'm not sure what the marinated pork ribs were, they had a spicy pork - I'm not sure it was ribs though, but still was good. Really liked the egg souffle, but I think if you're into cheese - get the corn cheese. I would probably order this again. LA Galbi cooked in kitchen - the BOMB!!!! Banchan - They had a good assortment. We normally get refills, but there was so much food in the lunch sets that we didn't get any. There were some different banchan that I had here that they don't normally serve at other Korean places, so I liked that. They also sell their homemade kimchi and banchan in a fridge next to the cash register. Dessert - they threw in a free dessert drink - sikhye - it was cold and refreshing - also a nice surprise! Recommendation: So this place does feel a little pricy about $50/person and we didn't order any drinks, but for the quality and variety - it's worth it. If you're doing a lunch set, shell out for the more expensive set - it's worth it. Favorites were the LA Galbi and the egg souffle.
