On Saturdays, my friend and I try something other than experimental(We are far from culinary artists) Indian food we've been creating since 2008. Blue Ginger was on the top of the list my Korean friend, Kwang-ho, had given me awhile ago. I believe we were served by a young manager. The food we ordered came with four side dishes and it was good. What made me resentful about my dinning experience in Blue Ginger was not the indifferent and not so friendly attitude of this lady but the number of side dishes two Koreans behind us were having. OMG twelve delicious looking side dishes . Who wouldn't feel discriminated under this circumstance. Pros: The best BBQ Cons: Racial Discrimination?

Pretty good Korean restaurant located in Bellevue near Microsoft. Of course what do I know as I'm chinese, but my korean friends seem to like it! Their BBQ is very good, and so are their soups. I also really like their appetizer dishes. A few minuses though - first, they didn't have two dishes on their menu - seafood pancakes and cold noodles - claimed it was out of season... Didn't know noodles go out of season? And also, our waitress just left our check on the seat back while we were eating and never even told us about it! We waited for 20 minutes for her so we could ask for the and finally we saw the check on the seat back and just paid up front... That was pretty weird. I think maybe her shift was over so she just left it there.

I first ate here and tried there sushi. I have frequented sushi in arizona and california and I am new to the seattle area and will be posting various reviews so you can trust these are non-biased reviews. I always order nigiri to evaluate the quality and freshness. All pieces were very large and decently priced. The sushi was cold and rice room temp. Both times I have had sushi there it was very fresh and very nice presentation. Their squid salad is very fresh and zesty. They have toro, but its not very high quality toro in my opinion but its ok. Yellow tail, tuna, salmon, smoked salmon, eel, and albacore nigiri were all flavorful and very fresh. All nigiri was served traditionally with a little dab of wasabi underneath.It is served with miso soup. You really cant screw up miso soup theres comes with the tofu and the green oninon. They finish it off by serving you with apple and orange slices. It was suggested that I come back there and try Koreann BBQ for the first time. So I come back and get the B1 on the menu which is some beef that comes with some side dishes, some were good some were not. The marinade on the beef is excellent and you cook it yourself. It is seved with rice. All in all its a well rounded place and service is prompt and friendly. I have been there 4 times this month. Pros: fresh sushi, prompt service Cons: menu may be intimidating

Good place to try Korean barbecues. Various Korean menu available and most I was satisfied. A little bit americanized though.

My husband and I went here on a friday night. This was our first experience going to Korean BBQ and we found the service to be attentive and waitresses to be very helpfull. The Seafood pancake appetizer was delicious and honestly my favorite part of the meal. We ordered the boneless beef Kalbi and the pork belly. My husband enjoyed the beef kalbi and I loved the pork belly with the grilled kim chee. While we are novices to Korean BBQ, we found it to be very enjoyable, the food good, the service attentive and helpfull, and the price reasonable for $50 for a TON of food for 2 people. Pros: Attentive & helpfull service, Good food, Good location & parking
