EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING was delicious! My first generation Korean parents said they wanted to bring us here. That’s saying a lot coming from them because my mom has cooked Korean food almost daily for the past 45+ years.
First of all, you’re not gonna find $29/person KBBQ combo (even during dinner time) anywhere around here.
Second, the presentation & flavors were wonderful; they have a modern fine dining flair, which brought a uniqueness to the table. I haven’t seen this kind of presentation at any other KBBQ restaurant in this state. Also, I LOVE their tea! Most places just pour the usual 보리차 (barley tea) but this one was different.
My husband ordered their 간장 닭고기 볶음 which is basically soy sauce based stir fried chicken and the flavor was deep! He is so picky but it satisfied him so we were happy.
My mom kept asking for off menu dishes and they kept delivering so I was thankful they were so kind to her…
The service was incredibly warm & dishes were abundant. Since they give their best I found myself enjoying the whole experience… especially after winning the Superbowl yesterday it was such a memorable treat & one I won’t be forgetting.
잘먹었습니다! ♀️

EVERYBODY PLEASE COME HERE!! In my opinion, i felt like this is the best place in this area. First of all, the food is really cheap and SO SO GOOD. Secondly , the restaurant is really chill and pretty I really like the vibe there. All the waitresses are super nice and sweet to us. They literally prepared for us hand lotion, body mist, body lotion in the restroom which is really nice of them so we can use it after we eat- plus the restroom is super clean. I love everything here in this restaurant, it such a wonderful place to come. PLEASE COME HERE ASAP, THIS PLACE DESERVE TO GET MORE PEOPLE COME TO THEM TRUST ME

This was a simply wonderful and authentic Korean BBQ place. The kimchi fried rice and pork gochujang were my two favorite menu items. We got the special value meal x3 which was worth every penny! Lots of variety and the sides were fantastic! If I was local this communal eating spot would be one of my favorites.

I visited this place with high expectations after hearing that the chef was a “master” and that it had recently opened. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing.
The meat preparation was poorly done, and portions were small. The complimentary side dishes were lacking in both quality and quantity. Items like a single rice cake floating in broth and jajangmyeon served as a side dish made no sense at all.
The raw beef (yukhoe) was even more concerning.
Traditionally, yukhoe should be made with freshly sliced beef, seasoned with sesame oil, and balanced with pear and vegetables for umami and freshness. Instead, this place used ground beef and added melon, resulting in a dish that completely missed the fundamentals.
Grill management was also very poor. The grill was never changed despite being burned, and it wasn’t oiled at all, so the meat kept sticking.
On top of that, kimchi was not refillable—you had to pay extra to order it as a side dish.
The cold noodles were worse than a packaged meal kit, and the soybean paste stew and galbitang were below the level of even a casual diner.
Overall, the food, service, and execution all felt unprepared.
This visit was yet another reminder that about 90% of restaurants hyped on Instagram or social media are not truly good restaurants.

We found this gem and was so impressed with the quality of food and service. This would be one of the best Korean bbq restaurants I have been to including my several decades of time in Korea. Another bonus point is that this place is kids friendly. They have books for kids and a little stool in their restroom. I will be going to this place weekly, if not daily, for sure.

I’ve been to many Korean BBQ spots in Washington, and Namdo Korean BBQ is by far the best! The meat quality is outstanding—fresh, tender, and full of flavor. The side dishes especially the Yookhwe (beef tartare) are unique and absolutely delicious, each one packed with authentic taste and creativity.
I’ve been to Korea, and I truly love the authenticity of the flavors here—it feels like the real deal! Chef Ryan Park is an exceptional Korean chef who knows how to elevate the dining experience.
Our server, Jaeshin, provided excellent customer service—friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. And oh, they have Bingsoo too—and it’s really good!
Everything about this place exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended! I will definitely be coming back again.

This was an absolutely amazing experience! From beginning to end it was a fantastic experience. Jazmin our server was incredibly sweet and attentive as was the rest of the team. We have gone to other Korean Barbecue restaurants where the side dishes were an afterthought but here there was just as much care in the sides as there were in the meats themselves. Will definitely be back and highly recommend.

I didn’t expect food to look elegant, but it does (cucumber sushi is so cute haha)Great looks for all the food. We ordered beef combo which is a generous portion. But the inside of beef tartar was still a little bit frozen and seafood pancake is a bit expensive for its small portion. Generally speaking, still recommend to have a try! Will come back for lunch special which looks good.

We ordered the small set for two people, and it was absolutely delicious! The food was fresh and flavorful, with multiple varieties of beef and pork—even some raw pork for grilling, which was a unique experience. We arrived early around 11:30 AM, and the staff was amazing—friendly, attentive, and helpful in explaining what each item was. Overall, a fantastic experience with great food and great service. Highly recommend
