The newest Korean restaurant on the Eastside  4 Star Rating - Very good

Though their business address is listed here as in Seattle, their restaurant presence is actually in Bellevue on Northup. Korean food seems to be much more difficult to find on the Eastside than all other Asian restaurants. Luckily, this Korean BBQ restaurant just opened up a couple of months ago and offers both barbeque and standard Korean fare. The prices are decent for Seattle, (but expensive compared to places like LA), and they have a wide selection of Korean foods and drinks. For those who dont know, the meal starts out with some small plates of a variety of pickled vegetables as appetizers, and kalbi is a pretty tasty (and standard) cut of meat to order. This place packs up quickly, and they dont take reservations on the weekends, so arrive early.

Pathetic Service and Food 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

Team of 8 decided to go for lunch today. One was served Seafood instead of beef, one got frozen Tuna and I was the unfortunate one that did not even get my food for 40 minutes. Everyone was done eating and my food was still not there. God help this restaurant because they just lost 8+ customers and they way it looks they will loose more soon.

Expensive, bad service from the host and server. 2 Star Rating - Wouldn't recommend

They do not offer chicken for their Korean BBQ, and requested us to move out of the BBQ area asap which was terribly embarassing. The host then told us, "No Korean resturant in the Seattle area has chicken for BBQ." That is a complete lie. We ordered a variety of dishes, Korean and Japanese, and just as the previous reviews said, the sushi was not fresh. Very disapointed and will never return again. Who doesn't serve chicken??

Pros: Parking
Cons: Food

Pros: korean food and japanese that's not sushi, service is good

Fairly Accurate Korean Replication 4 Star Rating - Very good

For the record I am not Korean, but I just spent the last summer working in Korea. If you've never been to a Korean BBQ then you must visit one once. The best choices for first timers would be their Bulgogi and Calbi. They are both beef dishes cooked on the grill in front of you. I did not eat any Sushi on my visit. The service for us was great, maybe a little too much. Our waitress was friendly and talked quite a lot. She did come around quite often and was very nice. The food in this restaurant is a very good replication of what you will find in Korea, but there are a few differences. Much of the food wasn't spicy at all and some of it too sweet. The Pork Belly tasted like regular old bacon. The environment was great, and actually it looks exactly like the pictures shown above. It has a very modern look. Overall the food was pretty good, but nothing was particularly stunning. However, if you've never been to a Korean BBQ then you must definitely give this place a try.
