Chosun Korean BBQ

Chosun is def a place you can go for everything, soondubu, KFC, and other Korean dishes like cold noodles. In Fed Way, most people know there's so many Korean spots to choose from within a mile or two radius. What sets this one apart is the variety and the service.My cousins come here often and I was always curious. This isn't one that stands out on the road, it's nicely tucked away and can miss it as you're driving towards the commons. The space is chill and a lot of tables, the ambiance is a common Korean restaurant with their decor.The menu is extensive and I would want to try the AYCE KBBQ menu next time I go. You get a little bit of everything from here that fulfills everyone's cravings. I got the soondubu combo with kabli ribs. It was bomb! Loved the silkiness of the tofu and the ribs were meaty. We also got the KFC soy garlic for the table and I would come here again despite my bias with Underground Kitchen.It's worth the try and will get a lot for your money!

My family and I (6), came for the AYCE dinner. Right when you sit down they give you all the banchan and water. They allow 4 selection of meats at a time BUT you must finish that order first before you can order anything else (which sucks). Ive read other reviews and didnt read anything about having to eat EVERYTHING before you get anymore, maybe its just us they did that too. The portion they give you is quite a bit so you'll probably never get to tasting anything else because you literally have to consume everything before ordering again (didnt expect that from an AYCE place and for the steep price, I should be able to get what I want.) For the grilling, they use an electric stove type of thing where you just put the grill on top. Not really ideal for KBBQ because the pork will never get crunchy like we would like. The food took forever to cook. Its basically cooking your food on a pan. The char you get from real flames is totally different, you wont get that here.Service was ok. Had to flag down a waiter a few times to order sides that come with the AYCE. We ordered think slice pork belly - couldnt get it to cook correctly. We also ordered Beef Bulgogi- that was good. we ordered the Rib eye (SELECT- by looks and taste of it) that is limited to 1 person, it wasnt good nor did it cook correctly because its basically frying it on a pan. Also ordered Shrimp (old-mushy), scallops and soy- sauce duck. I think what really set the tone was when they denied us to order other types of meat. Then they crammed 6 adults in a medium size table, very uncomfortable and couldnt easily shift in my seat. Its safe to say that we wont be returning, after a $400 bill for 6 people and walking out of there just unsatisfied, not worth it at all. For $400, i should have been able to sample all sorts of meat. The other AYCE places in federal way are better. But this id all my opinion, take it with a grain of salt and try it out for your self.

I think it's safe to say this is my FAVORITE Korean barbecue in Federal way . I have tried countless places and this always takes the cake . Service is fast , friendly , and clean . The waitresses remember you by face and never switch up on the quality of anything they have going on. Now to the food portion . Quality cuts of meat , superb salads and countless options of food to eat that come with the all you can eat . I usually get shrimp tempura , spicy beef belly ramen , rice cakes , soups and a sprite . The side dishes come out first and are usually put out almost immediately. The food is always hot and there is always someone around to help . The drinks are NOT bottomless and you can't get a to go box for your food for whatever reason . I think I've stuffed myself more times than I count here with 0 regrets . I took one star off purely because I want to be able to take my food home with me considering I pay for it . I think that's reasonable . I've been here multiple times and I absolutely regret not sneaking pieces of the meat I cooked with me when I get home simply because it's sooooo good . You get up to five meat choices at a time btw . Well that's all I have for now . Until next bite

I've passed by Chosun a few times but decided to try it with my friends. We got AYCE bbq and they were packed. Upon entering, my experience was already poor. They didn't have any central heating and to make things worse it was snowing outside so it was cold inside. They had two space heaters which limited the amount of tables to warm up. The other thing was that there was only one employee who was allowed to take meat orders. During our 2 hours there, we had to actively flag them down to order. Each time the table was empty and the server had to come back after 10 minutes to take the order. With service and ambiance already pretty poor, I had hoped the food was better. Meat quality was subpar to the price - super fatty meats and eel that had a fishy aftertaste. Wouldn't come back or recommend Chosun.

Came here for dinner. We were seated pretty quickly. Our server was moving super quick, however it seemed very rushed which wasn't appealing when you're trying to eat and relax. We had the all you can eat for $45/person. We ordered a mix of pork jowl, short rib, brisket, and beef top sirloin. The portions were decent and the meat tasted okay. The jowl was fattier than other places I've had it. The banchan was good and came with a variety of cucumber kimchi, bean sprouts, and radish to name a few. It also came with the typical sesame oil and fermented soybean paste. Overall I'm not sure if I would come back. I've had other Korean places and all you can eat that were better.

This place is a bit of a drive from Renton, but with it. It's an old school style place, you can't tell they've been there for a while. It's clean and welcoming. My husband and I really enjoyed the food! We got here right before dinner rush, thankfully. We did the unlimited kbbq option. We ordered the brisket(3 times) , ribeye steak, and garlic shrimp. Everything was really good! The shrimp did have the heads on still, fyi, I didn't expect that lol. It also came with many sides that you see such as macaroni salad, kimchi, kimchi cucumbers, rice, salad, and several more. Dessert and appetizers are also included in the AYCE menu. We did the honey drizzled rice cakes which I really enjoyed. The only downside was they did not have lettuce wraps, which my husband was disappointed in because he loves them. But they were very generous with their Ssamjang, which he appreciated. We will be back.

AYCE bbq which includes appetizers like tteokbokki = count me in! All the sides were delish, but the scallion pancake and tteokbokki was mid. The tteokbokki was a little hard to chew, but there's a great meat and seafood selection. It was about $47/48 per person before tax and tip. I would recommend other kbbq places to get a better bang for ur buck, but this is a good solid place if you would like a lot of variety!

This is the best KBBQ place in the Fed, hands down! I've come in person and ordered delivery and have always been satisfied. It is super clean inside with a mixture of grill and regular tables. I had the galbi, the Korean fried chicken, the bulgogi, and the fish stew, and all were wonderful. The banchan is also very flavorful and they keep it coming. The galbi is the dish I can never get enough of and would order repeatedly. The best part is the service. The servers are all very kind and accommodating.

4.5/5 Stars - My partner and I were visiting from Texas and I've got to say this is hands down one of the best KBBQ places we've ever been to!There's an authentic feel to the restaurant upon walking in. The doors were propped open since the weather was nice out. Definitely lively for lunch. We ordered the Large Combo for our party of 5 and it was the perfect amount. The quality and flavor of the meat was really good at this price point. Let's not forget about the unlimited banchan?!?! There were so many and they were all full of flavor. Our favorites had to be the fish cakes and kimchi. Pro tip: try searing the fish cake a little before eating (it gets even more flavorful).The service was provided by the staff was good. We were greeted by multiple staff, who were all friendly and double/triple checked that we had been assisted. The ladies regularly made their rounds, periodically checking on us and promptly bringing the items we requested. God bless their hearts bc we ordered so many banchan refills. Overall, great experience, would come here to eat again.

We've dined here multiple times. We were really impressed with the meat selections and all the sides that you can order with your AYCE. Price is much higher than most kbbq in the area, but it also includes all those other special sides. Service is always mediocre, or lacking. The ajimas there are more worried about turning tables than checking if you want more meat or sides. We always have to flag them down if we need something. Also, their restaurant closes at 11PM. That doesn't mean they take their last table at 11PM. It means last table gets sat at 9:45PM, last call for food is 10:10PM, and they all walk out and lock their business doors by 11PM. Good food, subpar service.
