MeatUp Korean BBQ & Bar

A great KBBQ option in the area, especially the dinner/weekend option. Most of the meat quality was great, and they have daily specials. We came on a weekend ($34/per person) and opted for the additional ramen add-on ($3.50/per person), and all you can drink from a choice of 3 drinks ($10/per person). The appetizers were also included in the AYCE (takoyaki, gyoza, karaage, seafood pancake, edamame, corn cheese etc).The servings were good sizes so you can try other proteins. The ramen in my opinion was decent/average: I would only recommend it if you're craving ramen and there's nothing else in the area. One cocktail I tried was not good, and I waited for it to be watered down to be drinkable so I stuck with the Sapporo.You can only order 4 different meats at a time, and can only order with the staff. There is a self serve station of sauces and sides, including fried rice, seafood boil, fries and more. They have a small private parking lot, and there is some street parking next to the private lot. They also have K-pop music videos playing on their TVs. Their tables only hold 6 people so if you have a bigger group, you will be split up. Their menu is on a QR code.

Absolutely not! They invested a lot in micro influencers and food photographers on IG and it shows!We believed the hype! We came for the good food and dranks! We got neither. In fact, we actually ate less than we'd dreamed of, drank little, froze half to death, and got terrible service. The food: so gross. The quality of meats are so bad. The cleanliness of the side/sauce bar was a 2/10. Japchae shouldn't look like that. Rice shouldn't be mushy. The ramen was THE WORST I've ever tasted. The drinks: NASTY AND WEAK!Service: slow, inattentive, ageist? (we're not college kids and they seemed to not GAF), and confused ... oh and forgetful.Not worth the price or the hype. Brought our concerns to the server's attention multiple times and he offered a $2 coupon for a next visit. Don't do it lol

Hey friends! My boyfriend had a taste for Korean BBQ so we came across this place on Yelp.We ordered the all you can eat option. I can't remember every flavor we ordered, but we had a combination of their shrimp, beef, chicken and squid. We enjoyed everything! Ingredients were fresh and portions were generous. The all you can eat option comes with a food bar. The food bar was stocked with various condiments, sides such as: brown and white rice, onion rings, salads, shrimp, and even dessert! For dessert we had the cinnamon cake, chocolate cake and strawberry cake. The cinnamon was our favorite!Service was very friendly. Our grill was replaced often. Our server checked on us often. The interior is very eclectic. It's the first thing that catches your eye as you enter. Parking is free and ample. Price point is pretty affordable. About $33/person. I would definitely return. Hope you enjoy!With love,The Picky Pescatarian

First timer here - and to be honest, I was not sure of the 'cook for myself' approach for public dining - but MeatUp.. I get it.You enter (the parking lot is designated but limited so.. pack your patience when arriving), and you're taken to a well lit, super cool spot. *see pictures* Almost gives you a speakeasy vibe, iykyk.Anyway, my brother and I got the gyoza, and the unlimited chicken, lamb and steak to cook. The portions are great and plentiful. The unlimited bar was also full of options including spices and seasonings to pick from - my recommendation; mix the curry & the rice if you like spice in your life. Bomb.My brother and I are already texting how we're going to return again for ramen! The only reason why I did not give this place 4 is because of their parking, and simply because.. as delicious as the food was, for the price - I could have cooked at home with the same amount of money - and been able to take the food home. Nonetheless, I WILL be returning for ramen. Until then....

I have been to MeatUp Korean BBQ several times, and each time I loved it. I love the self-served bar, the small dishes, and of course the meat! The quality of the food is great! It is so good, I would travel 40 mins to be there. I love the curry fried chicken, garlic shrimp and the short ribs. The inside is remodeled. Brand new industrial cyber style interior. Give it a try and you will love it.

A big disappointment. First hassle, a new median has been built. This means a U-turn will be involved no matter which direction you're coming from. They have shifted from a high-quality model to a booze oriented style. And the price is up too.None of the meats were particularly good or bad. The kimchi lacked fermented flavor, and its seasoning was one-dimensional. My server tried to "help" by just dumping the meat on the griddle. For any novices, you need to separate the pieces and lay them flat, to get even cooking and that tasty sear. This place is suitable for the first stage of a Korean style pub crawl https://mimsonthemove.com/2017/11/therounds.htmlbut I wouldn't go there just to eat. OK is as good as I can go.

Over good experience. The overall process could have been explained more. It was assumed we knew what to do andHow things would work. Once we were cooking I really liked the experience. Here are pros and cons:Pros: All You Can Eat Meat, Onion Rings, and Rive. Large selections of meat. Allows you the opportunity to be adventurous. Love the group drink dispenser. Great music. Cons: there were no large tables so our group of 7 had to be divided among two tables. They charge children by height not age unfortunately my children are tall. Can only order 4 meats at a time for the table. Essentially it is 1-2 meats per person depending number of people at table. For example shrimp you received 4 so that was 1-2 per person. Smaller selection of meats at lunch. No spices or cooking oils so the food stuck and burned to the cook top. The "salad bar" advertised tortillas, but we didn't see them. While I like the concept, I prefer the hot pot KBBQ option. I would return but with a smaller group and better understanding of using salad bar items to heighten the experience.

The parking here was very difficult. We had to drive around a few times to find a spot to park. We were able to get seated right away. The customer service wasn't bad but not necessarily something I'd compliment either. It was sufficient.We got the unlimited and added Ramen. I got the spicy chicken ramen and I thought it was very flavorful and it was huge. The meats we got for the grill were really nice and thick. When I've gone to other similar places, The meats tend to be considerably thinner. The marinades the meat came in were very good and all the food we ate was good. My favorite was the grilled cinnamon pineapple. The sidebar with the rice, kimchi vegetables, and seasonings, etc was very lackluster compared to other places I've gone.Overall it was good experience and I felt it was worth the cost of what we paid.

Solid KBBQ spot with a lively vibe. Meat quality is top-notch - try the bulgogi and pork belly. Portions are huge, so come hungry!Pros:Great meat selectionFun for groupsCool cocktailsCons:Can get noisyPricier than some KBBQ placesExpect a wait on weekends. About $35+ /person with drinks. Worth it for the quality, but not an every week splurge.Tip: Book ahead and come starving. You'll thank me later!"

I have a great experience here. Went right after work before dinner and it was almost empty. The food was great the service was good and they take a little mini picture of you. You have to ask about it. It wasn't offered by word of mouth. I saw it posted somewhere and inquired. It's good for a date night.
