Probably my favorite KBBQ place I've been to. Basically every meat was amazing, along with some good sides too. Good service as well, with some great interior design.

Worst place to spend $78 for two people.Bad Food--They literally want to kill you to save a dollar: It blows my mind that anybody over the age of 13 is oblivious to basic food safety. Here, when I ordered pork, beef, or chicken, they serve them to me all in a single plate; the food touching and contaminating each other. To save themselves from washing one plate, let's possibly get customers sick? Yes, please. From manager, chef, to server, they really don't care. Even restaurants in third-world countries practice better food safety.As for the quality of the meats, they definitely bought them from the wholesale bin.Bad Portions: When you order the "cheaper" cuts, they give you a mountain of it--I'm looking at you bulgogi. When you order the slightly more expensive cuts--brisket ain't expensive, its just not junk--they literally give you 4 slices of beef. Bad Service: The servers took forever and the place looked like it was closed when we were entering; the next few parties even did what we did, which was stick our heads in and ask whether they're open. The System: What in the world is your system? AYCE time is 1.5 hours--that's fine. You may order 4 items at a time--that's fine. Wait, we MUST order 4 items? I can't just order 1 or 2 items per round? Wait, there can be no double of an item per order? I'm forced order "filler" meat before we can order it again in the next round?It's like going to Hometown Buffet and the manager tells you you can only grab one hamburger and three different items before you can grab a second hamburger; if you can't finish the three items you didn't want, you have to pay for it. What kind of asinine, moronic, senseless policy is this? In my years of eating at countless KBBQs from different countries, this circus takes the cake.$78? It's highway robbery. Please, your money is worth more than this dumpster.I'm aware that reasonable minds may disagree on many things, however, not this place. I am sincerely questioning the reviews that give it anything more than two stars.Management, I am happy to fully discuss, in detail, every fact that warrants a 1-star review for your location.

I had recently had a not-so-good experience here, and I'll list several reasons why:1. Low meat quality: This Korean BBQ place is lower end in terms of quality, and unfortunately you can see it most in the meats. Most of the meat they give is either of average or below average quality, and I don't think much of it is seasoned either, so it was surprisingly flavorless. Also, the "premium pork belly" we received was very dry and thin. Additionally, their side vegetables were not the best either.2. Weird ordering policy: They have a 2-hour time limit for AYCE, but you're not allowed to order anything for the last 30 minutes of your window. This was confusing to me, because it made me wonder are you just supposed to sit there and not eat for the last 30 minutes of your supposed "2-hour" window?3. Bad service: It seemed like they were taking their time to try and make that 1 hr 30 minutes of your ordering window pass by quickly, as it takes them awhile to bring out the meat each time, which overall seems to reduce the amount of times you can order. We also ordered some pork belly but I guess the server misheard me and brought out an entire raw chicken breast, which we were unsure what to do about until we asked them about it. Finally, the sauces are not clearly listed on the menu, and our server made no effort to explain how the sauces worked or how we can order them, so we ate our entire meal with no sauce.I would say the one positive thing about this place is their portion sizes are pretty big, but I don't think that alone is worth justifying eating here, and I'd go somewhere else if I want Korean BBQ next time.

I recently dined at K-Town Korean BBQ and overall, it was a good experience. The variety of meat options for grilling was impressive, catering to different tastes. However, I was disappointed that they don't offer unlimited soda, which would have enhanced the meal.One downside was the wait time between rounds for the meat to arrive. It felt a bit slow, which interrupted the flow of our meal. Despite these minor drawbacks, the food quality was solid, and I enjoyed the overall ambiance. I'd recommend it for anyone craving Korean BBQ, just be prepared for a bit of a wait.

Driven by for years and finally stopped. It satisfied my craving for Korean food, but it's about as low-end of any Korean restaurant I've visited.Observation: not one Korean employee. The Dolsot Bibimbap was subpar, but ample. The banchan: meh. The interior ambiance: sloppy. The outside: sketch.Service: friendly and above average. Meaning, she checked-in a few times, was pleasant, a little above and beyond actually.So would I come back after all that? Yes, because it's value including generous reorders of banchan.

Really amazing food and the prices felt fair. The all you can eat deal was a little silly that the whole table has to do it in order to utilize it, but otherwise I loved this place. Really great service too.

I don't recall this place being exceptional, so the service here might be hit or miss. However, we had a much better experience thanks to Zach (the cashier on our receipt, and I hope it's him) compared to my previous visit to the Beaverton location. We visited with a large group on a Thursday night and were fortunate to have no wait time. Whenever Zach brought out our plates, we quickly emptied them and were ready to order more within 5 minutes. Zach's attentiveness and excellent service stood out. He ensured we were full and satisfied throughout our meal. Although 18% gratuity was automatically added to our bill due to our party size, Zach certainly earned it. I've never had these many rounds at an AYCE KBBQ place.I have no complaints about the meat quality. However, I wish they would offer more steamed egg servings. One steamed egg for every six guests is challenging to share among a group.This place will leave your clothes smelling like BBQ afterward, so it's wise to dress accordingly.

We went for the first time and to be honest I don't understand the negative reviews. There were two of us and it was like 2-3 pm when we went so a weird hour. The restaurant was clean, service was incredibly friendly, continued to check on us and were very quick. We did the all you could eat and to be honest with the two of us we struggled to finish that second plate of meat. We loved all the sides they brought to us, the sauce and what I assume is MSG was great as well. I don't feel like they were stingy with the meat they brought or they slowed service at all! We also got to mixed drinks which were AMAZING. Honestly we had fun, loved the food and left very happy.

K-town is a good beginner's place for Korean BBQ, to get the experience of cooking your own food. The food itself was medicore, the meats could be better. Veggies was very sad. Banchans were basic. The steamed egg was deflated and dipped in like a crater with barely any eggs. Lastly, I'm not a fan of gas stoves with a metal grill. I prefer charcoal and/or the webbed metal grill for better flavor. Wait time was around 20 mins for a table for two. AYCE $35/per person.
