I tried the All-You-Can-Eat Wagyu option at Wagyu Factory, without hot pot, and it was only $48 per person. Kids under 2 years old are free, which is a nice bonus for families. The beef was fresh, flavorful, and had a rich taste. I also liked that they offer different types of Wagyu, sliced or cut in different thicknesses, so you can enjoy a variety of textures and flavors. For the price, I think it's a really good deal. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience and would definitely come back again.

I was skeptical since I've been to AYCA BBQ where you grab your own meats and the meats are usually pretty low quality, however, this was such a great experience. There are three tiers and we picked the highest where it was BBQ + Shabu Shabu + A5 wagyu ($75 each). The shabu shabu is a smaller pot, but it's still AYCA. There's a large selection of meats, classic briskets to beef tongue and duck. There were also wagyu mini sliders too. There are a handful of fried items that's a part of the tiers, but we mainly just stuck with wagyu. The wagyu was delicious, although thin, you can order a lot. Some of the wagyu was large, but there were scissors to cut it smaller. There is a time limit though, you can only order every 5 minutes and I believe you can eat for about an hour. There's also a small selection of sweets: soft served ice cream, mousses, swiss roll cakes, and fresh fruit. There are vegetables, greens, and mushrooms for the shabu shabu as well. There were also some dim sum, but I didn't try any. Service was fast and friendly. And they even made our friend a small slice of cake for his birthday, that was very nice! I was very impressed with the ventilation that's built inside the grill, so the smoke is suck up before it gets into the air and stink up your clothes/hair!

Wagyu factory (part of the chubby group) takes over the old niku feast space in front of asian family mart. They're perfect for a group of 2-4 and offer self service meat, sides, and desserts. It can get a little expensive with non-members paying about $50 before tax/tip for the lowest tier. Moving up the tiers includes other cuts of meat and a portable shabu option. If you want to become a member, there's a fee associated with it. There's different cuts of wagyu cuts for shabu and bbq but it didn't seem to matter which cut you got. There's also some self serve dim sum, sliders, cooked meat toppings (Taiwanese braised meat, curry, etc), and veggies that are specifically for shabu unless you want to grill it. There's a small menu of fried items (karage, chicken tenders, chicken skin gyoza, shrimp). There's a wide assortment of drinks like soda, yuzu tea, and milk tea. Lastly for dessert, there's ice cream, different rolls, egg tarts, and different cakes. Overall, everything was solid from the meats to the sides. Although everything was good, they need to update the table layouts. For our party of 6, there was only 1 grill in the middle which ends up being very crowded which is why 2-4 people is the ideal group side. For our party of 6, gratuity was included at 15%.

Wagyu Factory has become our go-to for AYCE bbq! We have tried their wagyu option and it was great but we usually are already more than happy with their regular bbq option. My favorite meats are: bone-in short rib, wagyu karubi, and finger meat slice. I love cheese corn so I always get a couple from their buffet bar. I also love that they have a good selection of drinks - my favorites are the black milk tea and the jasmine milk tea. For desserts, their cakes are so-so so I would go for the soft serve and egg tarts. Service is usually great. We've been assigned to Hendy's area a couple of times and he's amazing! One downside is that the wait is usually long (about 2 hrs). They have started opening reservations for select time slots on Yelp so definitely get those if you can. If you anticipate visiting this place again, join the chubby club! You get discounted rates, a free birthday meal, and you earn points for free premium meats.

Came here on a Wednesday for dinner around 6pm and there was no wait. To check the wait, you can call and they have an ai call system to give you an update and they also text you afterwards to let you know the wait times if you asked about it. I've also been to the other location in Tustin, CA and compared to that location this one is smaller and does have less options but this is still pretty good. The staff is very nice and friendly.The meats were good and were replenished once low. My favorite was the black pepper beef cubes. The matcha nama chocolate Swiss roll cake was very popular, unfortunately I didn't grab it in the beginning and it was out by the time I went for dessert and the staff said they didn't have anymore. I would recommend getting it first if you see it!

Delicious all-you-can-eat Wagyu BBQ & hotpot. The meats are all so good and of high quality. Some truly melt in your mouth. Their self-serve hot dishes are also so good (except for the curry that's a bit salty). We were expecting a long wait as we arrived exactly at noon, but we were seated in less than a minute. Our server, Hendy, is also very attentive. Thanks, Hendy! The place is not big, so getting around to the self-serve hot dish area could be a bit of a squeeze. Overall, two thumbs up!!

Wagyu Factory kept almost all of the same seating as the previous Niku Niku, so each booth fits about 6 people with 1 grill each. Only one section has 2 grills for 1 party. The Friday dinner wait time without a reservation was at least 2 hours estimated. Good thing we had a reservation! The wagyu karubi was one of the best cuts, but it was also one of the fattiest ones creating more flames. Luckily, the server would change the grill and/or lower the temp when we cooked those. I was surprised my hair didn't smell like I had been BBQing afterwards. I found that the appetizers were all pretty mediocre except for the Japanese wagyu bowl. The curry rice and kimchi pork bowl were the only bowls I didn't try. Both the octopus and kimchi "buns" split open when trying to grab them. None of the fried appetizers stood out, but that day maybe the fried oysters and shrimp tempura were slightly better than the takoyaki, chicken skin gyoza, and chicken karage. If I could do it over again, I wouldn't have focused so much on appetizers and should have eaten more of the wagyu. The tablet didn't clearly indicate how many items came in each hot dish, so it was confusing when some came individually or with random amounts. It would help if the pics matched how many come in each order, so people don't end up overordering - leading to food waste. Dessert wise - the egg tart and red bean taiyaki were my favorites. The mousse was just artificial flavored fluff. The tiramisu mousse had no hint of tiramisu at all, but the mango mousse did taste like regular mango flavoring. The milk tea dispensers don't work as quickly as the other beverage dispensers, so I ended up trying about an inch of each one. The jasmine one was surprisingly not sweet.

I came here when it was still Niku Niku and we went all out with the A5 hotpot experience. They had three different shabu broths. The A5 was super tender and definitely the highlight. There's also a side bar where you can grab extra meats for shabu plus veggies and other add-ons, which I loved because you can mix and match whatever you want. The grill would get really hot sometimes and the flames would flare up pretty big, so it was kind of chaotic to watch--but also really cool at the same time. It definitely made the experience more exciting. Our server Angel was really helpful and explained the menu in a way that made everything easy to understand. And at the end, we got ice cream cones, which was such a cute little finish.

came in on a saturday evening and only waited 30 minutes! Service was great, Hio, our server was AMAZING and explained the menu and concept well. The ALL YOU CAN EAT is well worth the price. You get a buffet of assorted dumplings and some great Japanese style beef bowls! The meat quality was top notch and seasoned well, so much to choose from. I LOVED ATHE wagyu knuckle and pork belly, eat it with the "special salt" so fire. They also had food from the kitchen that was also included, Chicken Karage was perfect, as well as the crispy shrimp tempura. They also had a boba fountain, as well as soft service ice cream and deserts! This place is LEGIT! For 55$ , the value is insane and I left in a food coma! Would definitely come back, everything was tasty and plentiful.

This chill restaurant with fantastic service is a must try. To start, the server Wyatt guided through the meal and was attentive. There is Shabu Shabu and grill available with a premium A5 upgrade. There is a self serve station for all meats for both options as well as come other items. You can also order as many appetizers as you want. All the meats were well cut and flavorful. Overall a great lunch and will be back for dinner soon.

What are a wonderful experience at wacky factory in Seattle! Jonathan was thorough and helpful with our time here. This is the best barbecue at this building has had over past five years! overall I highly recommend and would come back!

Wagyu Factory is located in North Seattle in a shared plaza with other businesses, like LA Fitness, Sprouts, and Asian Family Market just to name a few. The parking lot is very spacious with plenty of spaces to park at. Our group of 5 waited about an hour to be seated for Friday night. It wasn't too bad of a wait since there was space inside. We all ended up doing the A5 Wagyu, which includes all the meat options and shabu. Wyatt was our server and he was super helpful throughout the whole time while we were at the restaurant! He helped us cook our meat and recommended certain sauces to dip our meats in. He even chatted with us about the other locations that are opening up in Washington. Wyatt was the best!

Visiting after their soft opening, so having higher expectations around their staffing and operations. Came in as a large party of 10 and had a great time! There is a large space cut out for big groups that seat 8-9 comfortably but can squeeze 10. I've been following some of the Chubby Group restaurants since I visited Vegas a few years back. While I know nothing else besides the restaurants, David Zhao's chains are fun because of the unique experiences and types of restaurants. I'd recommend jumping to the Ultimate A5, which I'll definitely come back for. We wanted to start with the basic BBQ but I'm not quite convinced the silver tier BBQ is worth it as the meats are the same as Niku Niku, but at a premium cost. However, the marbling on the A5 menu look fantastic. Great service, ample parking with the large plaza, and a restroom available outside of the restaurant (through the mall). Self serve bar is nice! Ability to grab meat rather than waiting to order and have it delivered does feel nice. Though again, meats here more on the basic side as they were available previously. Dim sum selection isn't the best, but cool that it's available. Their little wagyu beef sliders are tasty (a friend noted a similar taste to a quarter pounder). Dessert includes a strong selection of cake swiss rolls, egg tarts, cakes in a shot glass, red bean taiyaki with condensed milk, and soft serve. For drinks, there's a great selection. Black milk tea and jasmine milk tea machines were great additions to the space, in addition to a soda fountain and Calpico plus a rotating fruit tea. On the appetizer front, there's basic takoyaki, tempura shrimp, karaage, potato balls, fries, and gyoza. For the lower tiers, the iPad only lets you order appetizers which isn't very exciting (chicken skin gyoza is unique though). Fried oysters, chicken nuggets, pork gyoza, vegetables (like edamame), and fruit are available at the self serve bar.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Just amazing! Love this place! The meat is high quality and just melts in your mouth. The mala spice seasoning on the tables is my favorite. It's all pretty much self served unless you order freshly made appetizers and other stuff off the tablet. Best is to not fill up on the appetizers and enjoy the most of the meats they offer. The desserts are kinda mid but it's okay that's not their specialty. Everything else is yum! read more

Everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout the visit, and our server John was outstanding. He checked on us many times and was genuinely friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. Overall, great food, great service, and a place we'd definitely come back to. read more

That was at 1 pm. We drove 2 hours to this place and opened the door. The guy said they open at 4pm. So false advertising? And I even called to confirm and they answered wrong as well?

This was my first time here as it only recently opened - I'd highly recommend a visit. The quality of food overall was fantastic. We got the A5 with Shabu option. The meats were top notch and super tasty particularly with the house BBQ sauce. Add to that the top notch service we got from Derrick. He explained the concept well, was the perfect amount of attentive without being there too much. One last great thing, this place has super nice KBBQ tables where there isn't a loud vent in your face. If you've ever been to other KBBQ places those big vents can make conversation near impossible.

Based of first impressions, the protein portion looked like half the amount and I expected more for a $22 meal. The chicken was lightly seasoned but came with a sauce that was robust and spicy. The Mac and cheese was pretty heavy but very seasoned and creamy which was nice. The baked beans were like typical bbq baked beans but with a bit more spice. Cornbread was nothing special.

I always get lots of kimchi and sliced radish to eat it with for varied texture/flavor. Sides are not as good as a standard Korean restaurant, but the standard items are there. Meat comes out quickly once you order, and the pace at which you are allowed to order is plenty, or at least it was for a party of 2. They come by to switch out the grill frequently, so even though there aren't vents right over the grill, it doesn't tend to get too smoky. This is definitely a grill it yourself place, so just be aware that this is not one of those kbbq places where staff tends to the grill. The ipad works well for ordering and the user interface is easy.

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."

As a Korean American, I had never had wagyu this good anywhere in the U.S. To be honest, before going, I didn't have high expectations for the quality of the meat since it's an all-you-can-eat restaurant. But not only was the meat quality outstanding, the flavor of the meat, the side dishes, easy parking, and even the service -- everything was impressive. The wagyu was truly premium quality and literally melted in my mouth the moment I took a bite. The sauces were delicious, and I was honestly so touched that they even had kimchi. (Personally, I would have loved it even more if they had ssamjang, too!) At many other all-you-can-eat BBQ spots, the service can be pretty disappointing. But here, the servers constantly walked around checking to see if guests needed anything. Even if they weren't assigned to our table, they would step in to help if we looked like we needed something. They proactively changed the grill, came over if the meat looked like it was about to burn, and even helped cook the meat for us. The service was truly excellent. Our server, Wyatt, was especially kind and attentive. There is an annual fee for the membership, but you get discounts on future visits, so we signed up. One membership account can offer discounts up to 4 people. Totally worth it to sign up if you are planning to visit again. I also heard they're opening a Bellevue location, which will be closer to home, so we'll probably come even more often. I really hope everyone gets a chance to experience what real wagyu tastes like at this restaurant. read more

A fantastic BBQ spot with great value and exceptional service! The pricing is very reasonable for the quality of the meat and the overall experience. Honestly, nothing beats the taste of classic open-fire beef BBQ. The meats are incredibly fresh and offer excellent quality for standard-tier BBQ--to be honest, I don't see the need to spend 50% more for the premium wagyu when the base options are already this good. Their membership program is also a great deal. Signing up just for the free birthday meal makes it completely worth it right off the bat. I want to give a special shoutout to our server, Angel.She did a phenomenal job taking care of us! She was exceptionally warm, attentive, and incredibly fast whenever we needed anything. Her top-notch service truly elevated the whole meal. Overall, I strongly recommend this place! My only critique is the seating policy: you can't reserve a table over the weekend, and since no one seems to answer the phone, you have to show up in person just to find out the wait time. It's a bit inconvenient, but the great food and Angel's amazing hospitality still make it a 5-star experience. read more

First time here and it lived up to the hype. We came right at 4:30pm and there was no line, so we got seated right away. Hendy was really attentive and provided really great service. My wife had a peanut allergy and Hendy was very understanding and guided us through the menu on what to avoid. The food was amazing. We did just the bbq. The cuts of meat on the buffet were really high quality. The wagyu beef on the self service bar was so good. We also enjoyed the rib finger meat and the short rib. The bbq alone was well worth the $49.99 price. The hot pot and A5 wagyu option did not seem necessary for us. Plus, with a 90 minute time limit, the bbq by itself was good enough. The meat cooked really quick and Hendy changed our grill often. We also loved the rice bowl options and the fried food options you can order from the kitchen which was all included in the price. Overall, we had a great experience. We will be coming back for sure. read more

Our experience at Wagyu Factory was fantastic from start to finish. While there was a bit of a wait to be seated, it was completely worth it once we sat down. The star of the show was, of course, the premium A5 wagyu is incredibly tender, richly marbled, and bursting with flavor. What truly elevated our visit was the exceptional service from our server, Renee. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely hospitable throughout our meal. Renee offered excellent recommendations, ensured our grill was always at the perfect temperature, and promptly checked in to see if we needed anything, all with a warm and friendly demeanor. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. The combination of exquisite food and Renee's outstanding service has definitely made Wagyu Factory a place we'll be returning to soon. read more

Excellent food excellent service excellent atmosphere. A friend took me here Saturday May 9th 2026 to celebrate my birthday and I was beyond happy with the experience. Our servers name was Hendy and I advise anyone who visits this restaurant to ask to be seated in whatever area he's working. He was kind and very polite and attentive and explained every aspect of the menu and how it works to ensure we got the full experience and satisfaction of our dinner while we were there. The food was fresh and well prepared and maintained and once our order and reorders where put in it seemed like only seconds later that Hendy was bringing our selection to the table. Oh yeah after dinner try the ice cream Will definitely be coming back in the future and I advise everyone to try this restaurant read more

Just had to share this because I'm still thinking about it. Wagyu Factory in Seattle? Total game-changer. Their wagyu is next-level. Like, the marbling is insane and it just melts in your mouth. The shabu broth was so rich and comforting, and honestly, even the sides were on point. You can tell they don't mess around with their ingredients. But the real MVP was our server, Wyatt. Dude was awesome. Super friendly, knew the menu like the back of his hand, and his recommendations were spot on. He checked in on us just enough, never hovering. His energy totally made the night. The vibe is chill too, clean and welcoming. Works for a group or a date. Anyway, I'm already planning my next visit and you should definitely go check it out. read more

We tried the top tier AYCE menu $75.99 and it was absolutely worth it. With the $58/yr membership, each person gets $10 off, and one membership can cover up to 4people per visit, which makes it a really good value, especially considering this tier includes Japanese A5 WAGYU. What I really liked is that you can do both BBQ and shabu shabu at the same time. Our server Renee recommended the seafood broth for the hot pot, and it was delicious, very clean and flavorful. She also took the time to clearly explain how the membership works and all the benefits, without rushing us. I really appreciated her patience and detailed explanation. Great food, great value if you come with friends, and excellent service from Renee. read more

I came back to Wagyu Factory for the second time and it was just as great as the first visit. Renee was our server again and she was excellent -- friendly, attentive, and made sure our whole table was taken care of throughout the night. There were 10 of us celebrating a friend's birthday, and everything went smoothly. The food was delicious as always, and the service really made the experience even better. Renee did an amazing job handling a large group and making sure all of us had everything we needed. Everyone had a great time and left happy. Definitely looking forward to coming back again! read more

I've been to quite a few Korean BBQ spots in washington with family and friends and this spot was by far one of my favorite. First the food is delicious with special house sauces and variety of meat and veg selections, my only want is a side of spicy sauce but still 10/10! lastly my server Derrek was amazing as he gave us a detailed explanation of the menu and service that they offer to all customers. He was very helpful and kind to us first timers. it is on the pricer side but it is worth it if you want to try a qua KBBQ spot! read more

I had an incredible dinner at this BBQ spot! The smoky aroma hits you the moment you walk in, setting the stage for a feast. We ordered the signature beef brisket and ribs; both were perfectly charred on the outside and incredibly juicy inside. The homemade spicy sauce adds a fantastic kick that complements the meat beautifully. Service was fast, and the staff were genuinely welcoming. If you are looking for authentic, mouth-watering BBQ, this is the place to be. Highly recommended! read more

Came here with a group of friends & was definitely not disappointed! Our server Chris was very charismatic & set the vibe perfectly! The food quality was top tier, one of the best all you can eat set ups I've been to when it comes to Korean BBQ. We did the hot pot as well which I definitely recommend. Tons of vegetable options and appetizers, we all really enjoyed everything we ate. The meat quality is top tier & the earl grey cake is divine. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Food was great staff was nice. I will say when we did sit down we weren't given certain utensils necessary to eat comfortably like tongs for the grill and a serving spoon for the soup and it took awhile to get the attention of the servers. But other than that the service was great, the food was delicious plenty of options and the aesthetic of the restaurant was nice dim lighting but comfortable the space between you and other patrons is nice. Would go again! read more
