Son of A Butcher

SOB was a nice, relaxed Korean BBQ experience. The drinks were good and strong and the staff were super friendly. We ordered the baby back ribs, corn cheese and cheese fondue to start and each were delicious.For main course, we had the beef and pork combo with bulgogi. There portions were good for 2-3 people. The quality of meat was good and everything was fresh. We had a good time and would definitely return.

Pros: great location in Eastlake, plenty of street parking, good vibe inside, friendly staff and meat quality is high as are all the banchan side dishes. Prices are awesome for the quality you get.Cons: light is a touch low so it's a little hard to ascertain how much you're cooking your meats.It's on the small side so call and make a resy. It's a leisurely Korean BBQ dinner, take your time and bring friends!

I should have trusted yelp - mediocre meat quality with minimal seasoning set in a nice clean environment.Service was minimal and sterile, but that's pretty much the new norm these days.Banchan was minimal and meh.White rice was extra!!!! Poor value and meat quality. Woobling beats it on meat quality and Hae Song and Exit 5 beat it on flavor.

We came (around 9:25PM) because it was open late (until 11PM) and we were craving for KBBQ! Heard this place was authentic and good quality.We ordered the Volcano Steam Egg, Beef Intestine, Beef Tongue, and Pork Jowl. Overall the meat quality was really good. The intestines were cleaned well and it tasted like butter melting in your mouth. The environment was spacious and clean. Friendly staff but they didn't cook for us. Overall I thought the food was good but it was a bit more expensive compared to many other Korean restaurants (with soju, each of us two paid $80+ after taxes and tips), and I was hoping they could cook for us.

SOB is a MUST try in Seattle if you love KBBQ! When you think of Seattle, you wouldn't associate it with KBBQ like Downtown LA but this spot has delicious food and hip music! We walked in about 8pm last Saturday and was asked if we had reservations. Interesting because I did call weeks ago to try to reserve for dinner and was told NO reservations for party of 2 so strange that the guy even asked! He told us to have a seat at the bar and will clean up a few tables for us. Within 5 mins, we were seated in a small table in the back of the restaurant. You would scan the QR code for the menu. We ordered the Beef Combo which is more than enough food for two people. We actually took food to go and had lunch the next day! The beef Combo consisted of:Ribeye, Brisket, Bulgogi, Steamed Egg, Cheese Fondue, Dwenjang Jjigae ($110). You can order a la carte as well with a plate of meat averaging $32 a dish, which more on the expensive side. It is good quality meats though so you get what you pay for! The Combo is more cost effective and you get more side dishes, veggies, salads, etc. The banchans come separately as well. So you have plenty to munch on while you wait for your meats to cook! The brisket was the winner of the night! So soft with just a hint of fat. All their meats are very lean. The veggies was a nice touch especially the asparagus which I have never seen before at Kbbq places. They also had mushrooms, tomatoes and onions you can grill. The steamed egg was also the bomb! Make sure you ask for bowls of rice to enjoy with your meats!

After trying so many Korean barbecues in Seattle, I finally got to check this place out! We arrived at 5pm and got lucky with seating. We ordered beef brisket and ttheokbokki (soy beef flavor). Food was great but my favorite was the ttheokbokki! It's fairly rare to find variations of ttheokbokki outside of the traditional gochujang flavor so I was quite excited to try it.

Best Kbbq option in Seattle!I'm very picky when it comes to Korean food (was spoiled by LA's Koreatown) but this was my by far my favorite kbbq experience in Seattle.The quality of the meats and banchan were all 10/10.For two people we ordered the marinated short rib/kalbi, thick porkbelly, 2 bowls of rice, corn cheese, steam egg, 1 terra (beer), 1 (jinro) and the total was around $120 after tip.Servers were all very attentive and friendly. Price is a little steep but the high quality of the meat makes it worth it. I wouldn't mind coming back to try other items on the menu. I would highly recommend making a reservation because they get pretty busy.

This Kbbq restaurant came highly recommended by our friends. The exact words were "You need to call in for a reservation they can get very busy."Following that advice, I called in for a reservation for 4 on a Thursday. This restaurant is located in a small business strip on Eastlake. Parking, if any are available, is limited and we opted for street parking. Walking in the restaurant, we couldn't smell the ubiquitous charred barbeque scent that normally sticks to clothes. That 's a testament to how well the space was ventilated. Each table has it's own adjustable exhaust fan and an induction grill. One of the things I like about Son of A Butcher is their menu selection. The combo were a good value and made for an easy decision. I also appreciate that their alcohol is not limited to Soju or Sake. I ordered an Old Fashioned, dumplings, and opted for the beef and pork combo (which serves 4). The combo meal comes with the standard banchans, steamed egg, cheese fondue, salad, soup (we picked the dwenjang jjige), and a half sheet tray assortment of pork and beef cuts. The meat tray consisted of ribeye, brisket, pork belly, pork jowl, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, onion slice, and asparagus. We grilled the non-marinated meats first and ended with the brisket. The meats were high quality and had beautiful marbling. Service was fast, however not frequent. It was difficult to get water refills or order more items. Overall, I think this restaurant has reasonable pricing and quality cuts. The combos makes for easy selection and cocktail/spirits list is more than what I've encountered at other Kbbq spots.

I was really impressed by the friendly staffs here; they were super accommodating, even when I needed extra napkins, spoons, chopsticks, and they even switched my warm water for tea upon request.Arrived around 6:30 on a Thursday and got seated right away. The atmosphere was laid-back and cozy, despite the place being pretty busy.Unfortunately, the Kalbi Short Rib didn't quite live up to expectations. It was a bit rubbery, and the marinated Kalbi lacked the pungent flavor I was hoping for. Next time, I might opt to try something different from the menu. Nonetheless, I'd definitely be open to giving this place another shot and exploring more of what they have to offer.

My favorite place to go - it never disappoints! The food quality is top-notch and the staff, especially the owner, Mr. Park, are so friendly. The only downside is that they open at 5pm. I wish they were open for lunch too. If they were, I'd definitely go there every day!
