I went with a friend to celebrate her birthday. We got the BBQ w/shabu options. In this tier, most food is self serve. It was fun to see as that many types of meat options. I personally wasn't in the mood to try a rice bowl but did think it was cute that it was an option. They have some dimsum which I found okay but nothing particularly outstanding. The milk tea was good but the cups were more slippery than expected aka I did spill my drink. I did enjoy the salad of the veg options but it did overwhelmingly lean shabu ingredients. There was corn cheese but that does seem to sit under a heat lamp for a while. The same can be said for the wagyu burgers that I did not try. I don't have commentary on the shabu part because I don't particularly enjoy shabu. The servers were nice and you are able to easily request a grill change. This bbq is a significantly different experience from kbbq due to the amount of fire that comes when you grill a fattier cut. With how the meat is organized and how much meat you can grill at once, I didn't feel I ate as much as I might with kbbq. Since most of the meat is marinated, I didn't feel the extra dipping sauces added all that much. Overall, it was fine. It just didn't feel particularly worth it the price with my eating habits. Also they are on the dot about that 2 hour eating limit. read more

Great service, but A5 wagyu tastes like USDA Select. In picture 1: A5 signature cut (left), A5 shank (middle), A5 top round (right). 75 dollar per person. We were here a couple times and we have membership. It was the only Wagyu Ace option in Seattle. Previously A5 signature cut is limited to one per person, very high quality. Now they update it to be unlimited, which means the meat quality dropped. Don't go with premium option, if you tried Wagyu before you will immediately know this is no where close to A5. Our server helped us replace the meat from the kitchen and we ordered a couple rounds - same quality. They say it maybe because the kitchen didn't cut that meat very well and especially the signature cut is a peace of very lean meat. Lmao, what does A5 lean meat even mean? read more

Food was great for the price. We got the bbq only option and there were already a lot of options included. Meat options are great and you get them from a station and meat quality is excellent. Our server John M was so friendly and nice. It was our first time going there and he explained how to order very well. Star of show for us is the rice machine the have that shoots out rice in the serving you choose. read more

This place is amazing!!! I love AYCE but especially BBQ! Here are the reasons! Food wise: I feel like the quality of all the meats that were served was very fresh, the color and everything looked great. Even the veggies for the hotpot were amazing too! The flavor and taste of the meat was tender and good. There were many different types of cut of meats and also, pretty much all kinds including beef, lamb, pork and chicken. There are also different sides and dessert. It has this rice machine with different types of side entrees to put on top. It also has dim sum and fried items to be ordered on the iPad. Everything was self served which was great cuz we don't have to wait for it to be brought out. Service wise: Hio was our server and she went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. She was quick with everything like refilling our broth for our hotpot and even helped us with the grill including changing out the grill top. She was great! Ambiance wise: it was pretty clean overall and spacious. It didn't feel muggy from all the grilling and was well ventilated. Good for a date or a smaller size party cuz mainly there was only one big table that fit 10-12. Overall, we had a great experience there but when you do decide to go, definitely book in advance or put your name on the waitlist on Yelp to get ahead cuz we had to wait a while for walk in! read more

What a great addition to this neighborhood! It's been multiple styles of "grilling" spots, but I'm glad that it's now part of the Chubby Cattle umbrella. They have 3 tiers and the top two include the hotpot option. I don't think they really have enough veggies to make the hotpot worth it but the meat selection is great. The grill does tend to flame up, but they keep the place well ventilated and pretty attentive to changing your grill. The eats to chose from at the bar (lowest tier) is still worth it.... HIGHLY recommend the marinated rib finger. It's literally kalbi without the bone gnawing. The highest tier comes with the thin a5 (one serving per person) and other thin slices of different cuts. They are on the fattier end and ted to cause the flame ups. Drinks (soda/tea/milktea) included, there's a small section for hot foods, and the desserts the offer could be better. They've finally started doing reservations and make sure to get one because the wait times are long. Service 10/10 Meat 10/10 read more

DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE! Whoever gave this place high reviews either works here, or knows the owners because this place is not good at all. 1. The feng shui (fung shway) is totally off 2. The quality of the meat is not very good 3. The items from the hot bar was cold and was not edible The only good thing was the service I do not recommend this place. $50 each person is not worth it read more

Amazing service, quality meats, loved the self-service aspect of this restaurant, and great ambiance. Would highly recommend if you like KBBQ! Our amazing server was Hiro and she was the best! read more

The food was good, we paid for the premium selection but end up eating a lot of the Wagyu in the self serve bar. Skirt steak, Wagyu cubes and gyudon were highlights. If I comeback, it would be the regular selection instead. The service was good, attentive and professional! read more

Wagyu Factory - Second trip: The regular AYCE option - Barbeque Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We had a great experience at Wagyu Factory! We came here on a Friday night and arrived just before 6pm and had to wait about 20 minutes. There was, what looked like, a much longer wait by the time we left so I recommend coming early as they do not do reservations. The restaurant was restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. The staff was great at checking in on us and changing our our grill. What I was really impressed by is the lack of smoky meat smell that typically comes with BBQ restaurants. This place just felt and smelled very fresh! Their menu is reasonably priced and we decided to just stick with the basic tier which is BBQ (excluding the expensive cuts) without the hot pot. Even with the basic tier we had such a variety of cuts of meat to choose from! And on top of the meat, there were so many additional foods to eat such as wagyu sliders, dumplings, beef curry and then of course the delicious desserts! You definitely will not leave this place hungry! read more

5 experience! Located in a small mall with a few restaurants and market. Plenty of parking available. We had a group of 8, so our wait til was about 1.5 hours. We went through the market and also killed time by playing with their vending machines. The restaurant itself is somewhat small. But well worth the wait! The servers are very helpful. We selected the A5 wagyu buffet experience, I believe it was around $75. Unlimited meats, sides, and more! There is a 90 minute time limit, but our entire group was full around the 80 minute mark. They have a good variety of meats and cuts. The experience what also gives the place 5 stars! What a fun night to be had with friends and/or family! read more

We were seated fairly quickly and our server was really nice and helpful on explaining what each menu package contains. Dining experience is great, I like the beef short rib slice, knuckle and finger meat. There are plenty of hot food options. We got shrimp tempura and takoyaki. (I didn't get a picture of it.) It was yummy. I would come back and explore more of the hot dishes. And I got the sukiyaki hotpot soup base that was really delicious and warming. You get 90 minutes to munch and there is a food waste policy. Of anything over 1lbs or more can be charged. I think it is reasonable because 1lb is a lot of food loss. read more

Went on a Friday night and waited about an hour for dinner. You get 90 minutes to dine, with last call at 70 minutes. We chose the BBQ-only option for $49.99. For this tier, all meats are self-serve and the quality was solid, with good marbling that felt worth the price. You can order some appetizers on the iPad, but they did not really stand out. The fries were good. There is also a self-serve burger, dim sum, corn cheese which was really good, and options to build rice bowls with curry and Wagyu. Our favorite meats were the miso Wagyu otoro, Wagyu karubi, and short rib. Most of the meats come marinated. Sauce options were limited to two BBQ sauces, chili powder, and a sweet salt and pepper blend that got tiring, and they did not have plain salt. They changed the grill often, which was appreciated because with all that fat the fire got intense. Overall, a delicious AYCE Wagyu BBQ experience with good meat quality and variety. I would come back, especially for the Wagyu cuts. read more

My family and I recently visited Wagyu Factory. We used to go to their previous location, Niku Niku Japanese Barbecue, and always had good experiences, so we decided to order the Ultimate A5 this time. Everything was going well at first. The meat quality was great and we were enjoying our dinner. However, during the last round, we ordered the A5 Signature Cut, and what we received did not look or taste like the A5 we had been served earlier. The texture and marbling were clearly different. My husband wanted to speak to the waitress about it, but since we were almost done with dinner, I told him not to. Still, the situation left me feeling uncomfortable. It honestly felt like they assumed we wouldn't notice the difference, which was disappointing. When you're paying for the Ultimate A5 tier, you expect transparency and consistency. We left feeling let down at the end of what started as a good meal. I hope they take quality control more seriously moving forward. read more

Great food and a wonderful dining experience! The meat was fresh and delicious, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable. Special thanks to our server, Lily, for her excellent service. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Her hospitality really made our experience even better. We'll definitely be back! read more

I've been to Japan, and honestly... you don't need to go. The experience right here rivals--and in some ways surpasses--what I had overseas. Every bite of the wagyu BBQ was unreal: impossibly tender, deeply marbled, and bursting with that rich, buttery flavor that just melts the moment it hits the grill. This is the kind of beef that reminds you why wagyu has the reputation it does. Huge thanks to Wyatt for making this happen for me--absolute legend. From the quality of the meat to the way everything is prepared and presented, it's clear there's real care and intention behind the experience. The standout, without question, is the sukiyaki. It's the best I've had anywhere. The balance of sweet and savory is perfect, and when you dip that hot, perfectly cooked wagyu into a fresh egg, it takes things to another level entirely--silky, rich, and indulgent in the best way possible. Do not skip the egg; it's essential. If you're even remotely curious about wagyu BBQ, this is the place. Come hungry, take your time, and enjoy every bite. This is what it's all about. read more

Thanks hendy for help! The food was very good it was our first time here in Seattle to try this place! Will come again!

Very underwhelming. Service is basic. Meats were decent but sides at the bar pretty lacking, especially considering the price. I think there are much better Korean BBQ places for overall value and taste. I guess if you think you can eat 5lbs or meat then it's worth it. I would rather pay the same amount for a more elevated experience at a place like Foga De Chao. Again, not worth the price for the experience. read more

Angel was super friendly and made us feel welcome. The food came out quickly, everything tasted good, and the service was excellent.

Great as always. All you can eat high quality meat, and the restaurant was nice and clean. Great service, Derrick was attentive and helpful. read more

Nice ambiance. Not very bright lighting, decent seating, dark and comfy color scheme. Clean. The music is on the louder side. Still able to comfortably have a conversation. It did get a bit warm once busy, so consider layering clothes. The service was excellent. Our group had some experience with this style dining, but still chose the orientation offered. Im very glad we did, as this helped avoid uncomfortable fire flares. Thanks, Derrick! We were satisfied with our meal. Ingredients were fresh, good quality. We did the top tier,as this was our first visit, but in the future would probably stick to the first or second tier. Drinks and buffet are included in all tiers, which is a nice, low-cost way to add value for folks spending a large sum of money on a special meal. I know some folks are focused on packing themselves with as much meat as possible; this is not us. We enjoyed the variety of items and the experience. However, if that is you, I doubt you'll be dissapointed with the generous self-serve options. Favorite dessert was the egg tart. I can imagine it feeling hot and crowded during busy times, especially trying to navigate the buffet area. I can also imagine it might be tough for staff to keep the area clean during busy times, but this was not something we experienced today. read more

Use to go to Niku Niku but once their meat quality went down I stopped. Now that Wagyu factory is here I'm back! Let me start by saying the waitlist function on a Friday directly at 5 pm - SUCKED. Got there at 510 and was 21 in line. We didn't get seated for TWO hours. I can't wait till they go back to reservations because I will NOT be back till I can make a reservation prior! The menu for Wagyu is great but honestly you don't need to do it because the AYCE was just as amazing! Our favorite server DERRICK who is from Niku Niku is still there and he's the BESSST!!! he made the whole two hour wait worth it!! Great meat quality. So many more options. Loved it and can't wait to be back! Can't wait for reservations to be available. read more

This place is seriously fantastic! The meat quality is super fresh, and the seasoning is spot on--especially the marinated beef brisket, which is incredible when grilled until it's nice and charred. I really have to give a special shout-out to Wyatt for the service. He was on point all night; he was constantly checking in to change our grill grate without ever being intrusive. He even gave us some great tips on how to get the perfect sear when he noticed us struggling with the heat a bit. Having someone that attentive and professional really made the whole experience so much better. It's been a while since I've enjoyed a meal out this much. Definitely coming back soon--if you guys go, try to get seated in Wyatt's section! read more

Huge thanks to Wyatt! He was the highlight of the night! The food was delicious, I chose the A5 option which was $75.99 AYCE, I highly recommend the wagyu brisket. The side bars were all stocked and yummy! The location was clean with great lighting. Can't thank Wyatt enough, he ensured we had top tier service and gave us great advice. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Came to Wagyu Factory and got lucky enough to have Derrick as our server. The man was on it from start to finish -- friendly, attentive, and clearly knew the menu inside and out. Every question we threw at him got a real answer, not the usual "uhh let me check" routine. The highlight though? He cooked the wagyu for us at the table and absolutely nailed it. Perfect sear, perfect timing, didn't overdo a single piece. You can tell he actually cares about getting it right instead of just rushing through it. Great service, great vibes, great meat. Ask for Derrick.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

A fantastic experience complimented by our wonderful server Angel - she went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time. We opted for the premium A5 Wagyu tier, and the meats were stellar - we were able to order some slices for shabu shabu and others for barbecue so the flexibility was very nice. Lots of DIY veggies, cuts of meat, dim sum, cold side dishes, and desserts. Great value for money and we will certainly return next time we are in Seattle! read more
