I decided to revisit Hawaiian Sun BBQ because The Homie and his friends had a satisfying meal here…read moreafter a long road trip and hike. I had laulau elsewhere recently, so I was interested in trying their version for comparison. Last laulau ordered here was in 2018! We took 99N all the way to Everett Mall Way to avoid the I-5 commute traffic (4/23/26). We were immediately seated and provided menus & ice water. Pretty much the same interior, no overhead music, and straightforward table service. There were three others dining onsite, but also later overheard phone orders taken followed with brisk takeout pickups. They also have the capacity for catering with product, prices, and serving pan sizes posted on the wall. The Homie ordered the loco moco with overeasy eggs, plus their standard cheeseburger. He was pretty happy with the outcome. Consistent to his previous experience, but also took note of the quality and reasonable cost for the cheeseburger. I opted for the laulau plate which came with the requisite two scoops steamed rice and one scoop mac (Hawaiian style macaroni salad) with a sizeable laulau. I unwrapped the outer ti leaves and cut into the taro leaves (steamed like spinach) to reveal succulent pork and tender butterfish inside. This was great with a little added shoyu. Spot on delicious! The ice water also hit the spot. Perfectly chilled without any aftertaste from a pitcher. None of that tepid water in a stoppered top glass bottle or carafe. Refreshing! Overall satisfying meal at a reasonable price.

This has been a favorite place for many years. The location is in an older strip mall and not…read moreglamorous. But the food here is always good and the service has always been great. The menu is pretty diverse with many selections available. They also have a catering menu available for parties or get together. The pricing is very reasonable for both the retail and catering. One of the favorites is to order Spam Musubi to go and pick up for local sporting events. This is definitely a place to find and try. It might become one of your new places to frequent.

It was a choice between this and a couple of chain restaurants for us, and my son picked Mr. T's…read moreMoonshine BBQ. We were there a bit later, just before 8 p.m. on a Monday, and easily got a table right away. I didn't want too much food - at my age I've learned my eyes and stomach are rarely on the same page - but I definitely wanted some brisket...as an amateur smoker I appreciate how much work goes into beef brisket so always try it when I see it on a menu. So I went with the Happy Hour Caesar Salad & Brisket. For $8.50 it was a great value. The fat of the brisket was rendered PERFECTLY. My wife wanted the baked potato but allegedly someone came earlier and bought TWELVE and cleaned them out. Disappointing! But the two street tacos she got off the Happy Hour menu were tasty. My teenager decided to lean in and get the brisket entree. Fries and Mac & cheese as the sides with cornbread. He added some of his brisket to the Mac & cheese and loved it. Fries were crispy (double fried? Or battered?) but didn't get finished - too much food! I had a couple of beers that were good. The tap listing was available on a screen. Service was well-above average. Very friendly. I can imagine this place getting busy during peak hours but it's small enough that they likely can keep up. I doubt we'll be back. We are from out of town and while we come to the Seattle area often I like to try new places whenever possible. But we were very happy with how tonight went. 4.5/5.0 but it won't let me do a halfstar. Give it a try. This isn't a chain restaurant! We were happy to support this one.

I visited Arirang Korean BBQ a few years ago, and since K-BBQ has become so popular lately, my…read morefriend and I decided to give it another try. The restaurant was nearly full when we arrived, but a friendly employee let us know that they were cleaning a table for us. After waiting only a few minutes, we were seated. We ordered the K-2 option and were genuinely impressed by the quality of the meat. It did not feel like typical all-you-can-eat meat at all--the cuts were fresh, flavorful, and much higher quality than we expected. The service was also top-tier. The staff checked on us at just the right times without being overwhelming, and every employee was cheerful, welcoming, and incredibly kind. They even had a soccer game playing, so my friend and I enjoyed watching it while having a delicious and relaxing dinner. We heard that the ownership changed last year, and the improvements are very noticeable. The meat quality, customer service, and overall atmosphere have all been upgraded significantly since my previous visit. Our dinner experience was absolutely five stars. We will definitely be coming back!

Even though I live in Seattle, I will travel back up to Lynnwood with family and friends to eat here again and again. Everything was perfect.

My friends and I ended up in Lynwood and we were like, why not get some Korean food while we are…read morehere!? So my friend did some research and we came to WuJu. There were only one other group when we came in around lunch time on a Sunday. It looks like it gets crowded in the evening so it was a surprise to find the place so empty, but we didn't mind. The lady who was serving us was very friendly and came back a bunch of times to ask if we need more tea. We were there way longer than how much we spend time at typical BBQ place, but she didn't seem to mind, which was nice. We had the beef combo, cold noodles, and squid and veggie stir fry, and that was way more than we needed. We thought the combo comes with only two bowls of rice but they added another one, seeing that we are party of three. That was nice. Banchan was pretty good and I kind of wish I ate more of it before the meat arrived because I got full from other items quickly. Cold noodles were average. Of the four kinds of beef in the combo, I liked three of them except for one (I believe it was the NY steak) - one item was leaner/dryer than other NY steak I had elsewhere. The combo also came with individual sauces (two types - salt in oil and sweet-ish sauce). The sweet sauce was quite forgettable and so I kept dipping the meat in the salt in oil sauce, but I wish they offered other sauce...maybe like soy sauce based ones or just plain salt. The squid stir fry was spicy and I enjoyed it. The combo also came with tofu soup, which was also pretty good. Overall, there were minor stuff that didn't go with my preference, but I had a nice time at WuJu!

Pretty mid KBBQ, came here for a late-ish dinner with a group of 4 on a Sunday night, and had to…read morewait a bit to be seated. The KBBQ here is not AYCE, we ended up ordering a full portion of 1 combo and a half portion of another combo, and left feeling full but not stuffed. Meat quality was average/poor, the only meat which I thought was good in the combos that we got was the marinated short rib. The sesame oil + salt sauce was super salty. I liked their banchan selection though, they have fish cake, potatoes, and pancake among others. Service wasn't the greatest, there was only 1 server for the whole restaurant and it was a bit hard to get her attention, though she was very friendly once we did. Also wish the ventilation was better in here - my clothes reeked after this meal. Overall meal came out to around $60 per person, which is definitely on the steeper side. At that price point I would much rather go to another KBBQ place with better meat quality and selection.

Came here after seeing that Kawon across the street was closed but regretted it soon after…read more Since they are marketed as a korean bbq joint I would assume their bbq is pretty good... Unfortunately, I was highly disappointed. Majority of the meat was full of fat and cartilage and there was barely meat around the bones. Even for the marinated meats they were extremely salty and hard to chew through. The meat here isn't cheap either with the combo we got being $130. We got a couple of soups as well and THEY CHARGE FOR RICE HERE $2 PER BOWL. How do they expect us to eat a korean soup with no rice?? This alone will not bring me back here. Many people come here for the korean fried chicken which is honestly pretty good. This was the only saving grace to the meal. However with everything else, I won't be coming back here.

Came in for an early dinner around 5:00 pm. It was the perfect time to beat the crowd. The place…read morewas nice and calm, which made for a relaxing meal. Parking was easy too. The restaurant is located in a plaza with its own lot, so no issues finding a spot. We ordered the mackerel and the mul naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles), and both were solid. The mackerel was a decent size and cooked just right, with crispy skin and moist inside. The fish came with multigrain rice. The naengmyeon was refreshing and a great choice if you're looking for something lighter, a nice summer dish. Can't talk about a Korean spot without mentioning the banchan (side dishes), and this place didn't disappoint. Good variety, nothing felt like an afterthought, and they refilled them. Service was good too. Our waitress was friendly and attentive without hovering. She checked in at the right moments. The restaurant itself was clean. There are a couple of TVs mounted on the wall playing Korean shows. Overall, a really pleasant experience. Great for an early dinner if you want to avoid the rush. Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Tried the gangam family set (came with mackeral, bulgolgi, steamed egg, soft tofu soup). The mackeral was larger than expected and tasty and everything was fresh. Bulgolgi was alright but I liked everything else. We also got take out which included a beef soondobu (tofu stew) and bibimbap and it was very nice that they included a portion of banchan, nicely separated by little sample paper cups. Everything was packed neatly and was hot. The soondobu was tasty and came with purple rice which was nice. Bibimbap was also good but I wish that they provided a little more sauce to go with it. Overall, this is a solid place.

The pork belly with rice and the crispy chicken with rice are perfect late night dishes. Have you ever ordered a protein with rice combo, open the container and find two to three huge scoops of rice and then a spoonful of protein? That hasn't been my experience here. Here the rice to protein ratio are even. This is a great late night stop!

The service was really great and the workers are very nice. Overall I'll definitely come back to get the Dakgalbi again!

I do like this because it helps reduce waste and portion control, and they've added a few new menu items like intestines but kept old favorites like the raw marinated crabs. Service is always great and the restaurant was pretty busy for lunch time on a Saturday, which is always a good sign. There were a couple big tables celebrating birthdays, so it's also a good spot for larger groups.

We both ordered K2 for $35.99 each, and it came with 8-9 AYCE meats and self serve sides included. May I suggest that you ask for a "half portion" of the first four meats you pick? They bring you an INSANE amount of meat. Even if you are starving, making it through the first round is no small feat and you may not even have room for a second round. Just remember, you can always get more! Favorites were marinated beef, beef short ribs, pork short ribs, and spicy pork. Service was perfect. Sodas have free refills. What could have been better: We weren't crazy about the banchan in comparison to other places. The kimchi was good, but they had some odd things like pasta salad and mashed potatoes that seemed out of place. We liked the "salad bar" style, but the options weren't very impressive. All in all, a decent night out! It felt clean and was a popular place on a Friday night. Can't wait to go back to try some new things.
