Meet Korean BBQ Reviews

We were part of a group of 15 who enjoyed a Korean barbecue experience at Meet! The food was prepared, tableside by servers who were courteous, well informed, pleasant and efficient. This was our first visit to a Korean barbecue and I would highly recommend Meet!

First time at Korean Bbq & this place provided a great intro! Tried out the signature feast which comes with 4 meat cuts plus served with Corn Cheese, Banchan, Ssam, Egg Soufflé & Wagyu Soybean Stew! Good quality meat cooked to your liking for you at your table + rice on request

From the moment we arrived, I enjoyed the sleek, sophisticated ambiance. We were asked to wait at a central bar area while our table was being prepared, which was probably no more than five minutes. This gave us a chance to chat, read the menu, and order some excellent drinks. The service was attentive and professional, with staff members who were also genuinely friendly. The food was exceptional, and our attentive server provided helpful guidance and was very welcoming. I loved this restaurant and would certainly visit frequently... if I lived in Seattle haha.

A foodie friend of mine gave me the tip to go here for a Mother's Day Eve dinner. My family and I decided to go with the feast option. We did add the LA korean spare ribs "upgrade" and was pleasantly surprised. The only criticism was the restaurant was in Seattle. If it was in Bellevue, it would be perfect. The city is SO disgusting, run down, boarded up, and overrun with homeless. I would not suggest going after dark.

Well I totally disagree with the only other review. We are here last night on 4/23. Made reservations which I advise. I am 45, my spouse 51, and we didn’t feel like we were the old ones at all. We took my son and 2 of his friends. So 3 16-year old boys for my sons birthday. The food was amazing. The service exceptional. The atmosphere was lively yet we could carry on conversations and enjoy the meal. The wait staff was very cautious of COVID and wore masks the entire time. I loved how they all worked together, chatted with us, and had fun with us. Feeding 3 teenage boys is often a challenge. For what we paid I felt like it was an amazing amount of food and everyone was stuffed when we left. I would definitely recommend it!

I came to this restaurant with friends who were visiting from Wisconsin. Their daughter is a Koreanphile, dating a young man with Korean heritage. This was her opportunity to introduce us to Korean cuisine. Meet Korean BBQ is a steak restaurant, not truly a representative of the culinary tradition of Korea. Yet, when a person is excited about something, it’s cruel to “burst their bubble,” and we went along on this journey. The presentation reminded me of a place called Benihana, that I dined at about 45 years ago. My apologies to Korea, as Benihana was a Japanese steak house, and no one should forget Korea survived the Japanese occupation of their country. The two countries should never be confused, but the restaurant concept at Meet Korean BBQ was very similar to Benihana’s. The server grills your meat at your table and there are dipping sauces and sides. The meat was okay. When the owner came over, his name was Park, the steak he chose to grill for us was decidedly superior. The patrons at Meet BBQ were primarily groups in their twenties, enjoying the booze and camaraderie. Looking around, I felt ancient and very susceptible to getting Covid. The people dining in the restaurant were obviously not concerned about the virus. Maybe if I was in my twenties, I would feel the same way. But I’m decades from my twenties, so I ate quickly, donning my mask when I was done. The prices were sky high at Meet Korean BBQ, and as the oldest in our party, felt obligated to pay. Hey, maybe those young people dining around me can get me a job in technology at their salary level. When I was their age, McDonalds was a splurge. It’s a different world, but is it better? What will these kids expect when they’re older if they have everything now? I have no idea.

Our son gave us a gift certificate for Christmas. We've been to Korean BBQ before, but Meet is our favorite so far. I love that the waiter cooks the food for you, so you don't have to worry about cooking it yourself. The food was really good, the cocktails were great, and we will absolutely go back.
