    Super clean, easy to locate and find parking. You order through a tablet attached to a table, so old timers who are used to yelling out their order will have to be patient. We upgraded from classic to premium so we could have LA kalbi. And it was thick prime cuts. Our server checked on us often and asked us if the food was tasty. Love that they were attentive to the grills and changed them often. My favorite was that I ordered Korean soft tofu soup versus the soybean paste for free. Wish more kbbq places had that option. Also, the squid came out fried and it was seasoned and delicious as well! The mall walk afterwards helps with digestion, so we will be back!

    There are so many options to choose from, in so many different variations of food. You can order, it's all wonderful, and you get to cook it and you know what you like! I have to say the marinated meats are better than the others! And I thoroughly enjoyed the cheese corn and the fried rice! Our server was funny and kept the ball rolling. So we didn't ever have to wait too long...Always checking in on us!

    Five stars - great This was my first time going to a Korean BBQ. We went in blind, so we had no clue what to do, what to order, etc. Our waitress was very friendly. She didn't do the best job of explaining how the menu worked (there was a little language barrier), but we ultimately figured it out. I'll do my best to explain how things work. Essentially, you can order a variety of meats and appetizers, which are separated into three categories. If you purchase the higher tier, you not only have access to the meats/appetizers of that tier, but also any tier below it. You get unlimited food for two hours. During that time, you can cook and eat a variety of meats that are available in your selected tier. You could order three dishes and three sides at a time. Despite not knowing how things worked, we had a great experience. We got the first tier ($35 per person), and we were satisfied with our options, but we will definitely get a higher tier next time we go. We got three rounds of food, and we were stuffed. It was really fun cooking the meats while we enjoyed our appetizers and drinks. This is the perfect restaurant for catching up with friends and family because you will be there a while. I would recommend going with an empty stomach. We will certainly be going back!

    Woobling is on the south side of the mall next to BJ's. They have three price options with different menu options for all you can eat, ranging from $35-$50. I asked if they had à la carte options but was told it's not all you can eat style. The ordering is done from a tablet at the table and a food runner brings it out. I was impressed that the design of the grills allowed them to not need the hang down smoke vent, it made it a quieter experience and we didn't smell like smoke after. There are definitely better Korean BBQ options in Tacoma but this spot gets 4 stars for the convenience and for their family friendly atmosphere.

    So they lie to people also!!!

    They make you place your order from an IPad at the table and someone brings little portions of food for YOU to cook. I was at a table of four people and my nephew was at his own table of four people next to us. We had two different bills yet they charged both tables a $50. Gratuity and said it was because we had a large group, WE HAD 4 people. I'm still so pissed off!!!!

    This is the meat you eat... gross enjoy!

    One of the worst places to eat in Tacoma. The service is below par and the food is not safe to eat! Call poison control before dinning you will need it.

    New BBQ spot in Tacoma Mall Area! The wait was roughly 10 minutes on a weekday evening for 2. The service was okay as well! The server occasionally check on us but we mainly used the call server button! We opted for the Signature choice selection and it was decently worth.. The meat/food portions per order are a good size for having a bite and trying a variety of different dishes! When the store is busy, it does take quite a long time for the meat/food orders to come out to our table.. but it's understandable. I would come again before their Grand Opening specials are over! Decent pricing!

    I should start out with the good. The lady who served us was very friendly. The restaurant was very new and clean, much like your typical modern Korean restaurant. And the price point for their happy hour can't be beat. $19.99 is pretty amazing. The food however was not the best. The banchan wasn't very good and the brisket was not quality. You have a 2 hour time limit and we felt like we were waiting a long time for our orders. At Korean BBQs we are often waiting for the food to cook, but here we were spending more of the time waiting for the uncooked food to even arrive. It felt like an Americanized KBBQ which is on par for Tacoma Mall I suppose. If the server wasn't so friendly and the price wasn't so good, I would rate it lower.

    Uncooked shrimp from their kitchen, no apology for a mediocre and high price eat all you can Woobling Tacoma. Very dissapointer will not come back anymore

    Gathered a group of friends here. Haven't been to the Tacoma mall in years. The majority of the meat selections were great, but some of the other side dishes were quite questionable. We had 5 at our table, and they all said the kimchi jjigae tasted like tomato soup. We also ordered one of the marinated meats, I forget which one, but we told our server we didn't like the taste of it because if you leave food behind, you have to pay. He brought the owner, or chef out, who asked a few questions but said it was fine to remove it from our table without billing it. They offer a variety of side dishes that our normal kbbq place didn't, so we wanted to try it out. I've been to the one in Bellevue with family so I already knew what to expect but it's nice to have another in the Tacoma area, I just absolutely hate mall parking. Come early so you get a table.

    To start, the food was definitely delicious, the sauces surprisingly were very good too usually i don't even touch them but i ended ip finishing mine. we split the cost between 4 people and the total was very cheap for us. Our server was amazing, funny and attentive . Explained the whole ordering processes, made sure we had any and everything we needed and constantly checked up on us! It was a Friday evening so it was quite busy, we did wait in line for about 20ish mins but again it is a new restaurant so there's going to be a crowd.

    Food is great! Price is great too! Can't beat $27 Wish there was more marinated options for the classic meals. And more sauces and sides!

We were out celebrating my buddy's birthday today, and started out next door for some smokes and drinks. I had a plan for some choices for his bday dinner, and he opted with Ms. Jane's inside BJ's Casino. First off... this place is very elegant with a fine dining experience. Secondly, Cassandra was absolutely superb!! We all thoroughly had an amazing experience, from the drinks, appetizers, to our entrees, and the service. The Lavender Martini was top notch, and we also ordered the White Mojito. That mojito was crisp and refreshing! Two spectacular cocktails. As for our meals, undeniably unbelievable!! I ordered the 12oz. Ribeye, with Garlic Potatoes and crisp Broccolini. So crisp and a unique almost vinaigrette flavoring, with a subtle spice. As a side, we ordered the Thousand Layer Potato. My first time ever having this, but seen how it was made on a video. Simply divine. My wife ordered the Braised Bison over Polenta, with some Carrots. This is the tastiest Bison we've ever had!! We finished the evening with a Dubai Chocolate Fudge Sunday, and Cassandra gave us each a spoon to share in this decadence. Needless to say, my buddy had an incredible day of celebration! Thank you for this wonderful experience! As always, Enjoy & Happy Birthday, Wazowski!

    I have been seeing this highly rated restaurant for a while and my husband wanted to check it out…read moreon a Sunday, so we made a reservation and they took us right away. We were the only people in the dining room for lunch the entire time until our last 10 mins. This restaurant is inside a casino in Fife. Parking is interesting, and the casino itself is in the middle of a reno so it looks a bit messy but otherwise it is fine. Kudos to them for trying to make the outside section nice because the view kind of kills it. Pros - it's a very nicely designed space. The hostess and our waitress were so nice and welcoming, even giving me a stool for my bag (and it wasn't even my fanciest bag lol!) Overall, the restaurant is nice, the food seems to be mostly fresh and good quality and service was nice. I actually quite enjoyed my ribeye, despite our broccolinni having no almonds, as stated on the menu. My affogato was good, and the cake frosting and flavors were good. Cons - I say these with love...but we both feel the kitchen was not up to par, or the main chef was off, or something happened because there were quite a few mishaps during our visit. The appetizers were good, but the scallops needed salt and I would not pair them with pineapple, personally. The calamari weren't the most tender, and the breading was interesting - it's definitely not your typical breading, it suited a fish and chips dish better. The sweet and spicy sauce served with it is from trader Joe's...I know because I've bought it before, so I don't believe it's house made. Like I previously stated, the broccolinni was missing the almonds, and the carrots on the side that I ordered for $13 were so embarrassing that the waitress came back after serving us and told us that she spoke to the manager and got those off our bill. That's how ridiculous they were, so thank you to her for having good values at work. While I liked my steak, it was very, very fatty, and my husband asked for medium rare and definitely got medium well. Lastly, the pink champagne cake was disappointing, not because it was yucky, but because the cake itself was clearly days old, and had been freshly frosted. It was tough, dry and stale, while the frosting was fresh and light. Overall, I can see coming back but I'm in no rush due to the price/location/overall food.

Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. The catfish was paper thin, rubbery, and inedible. The grits were bland and unappetizing. The fried pork chops were greasy & tasted like they had been cooked in old, dirty oil. The banana pudding also did not taste homemade. After spending over $100 and only managing a couple of bites, we decided to request a refund because the food was simply unacceptable. We returned the food, but the store clerks said they couldn't process a refund and were unable to reach the owner. Two days later, the owner contacted us and refused to issue a refund. We truly value supporting small Black-owned businesses, but based on this experience, we will not be returning. Save your time and money.
