okay, our family loves korean bbq. a lot. we recently tried exit 5. exit 5 has amazing cuts of meat - way better than all the AYCE places - we really enjoyed here the biggest downside to here is the atmosphere - it's a nice location, it's clean, the food is good, but the restaurant is exceptionally loud so it's hard to hold a conversation with a large group

Daniel gave us the best meat ever!! We'll definitely be back for that meat! It was two of us girls and we don't really know how to bbq so he took care of us The soju was great .

I am a rare consumer of K-bbq joints, simply because I tend to just favor K-bbq at home. However, I enjoy the hassle-free, cleaning-free experience of K-bbq restaurants so we decided to try Exit 5 out! Very large space, and of course the tables were filling up since it was Friday night. We got the beef combo between 5 people and the meat portions felt ample enough for us, but probably would feed 4 average adults comfortably. It's mostly self-order through a tablet attached to each table, so you're also able to order more throughout the meal. Side dishes all feel fresh, I love their Kimchi which is on the less fermented side. I didn't care too much for the regular short rib as it felt too dry and tough. I'd recommend the brisket (a must-order in any K-bbq experience) and the prime short rib. Food comes out quickly and staff is quick with requests! We were celebrating a birthday and our main server was kind and attentive, even bringing out cake plates and a serving knife. I've normally seen places not allow cakes or charge a cake fee so that was nice. Overall a great experience!

We love it so much and seeing ourself come back more often. The food was so good but the customer service was even better

This is hands-down the best korean food I've had since being in school in Seoul. It's a little pricey but so worth it. We got bibim naengmyeon and bulgogi and loved both. They come out right away with the banchan, tongs, scissors, etc - they even have mustard and vinegar for the noodles! The service was also incredible. I'm on crutches and a cute old ajussi jokingly offered to carry me to our table We were actually originally seated in a different spot near a large, excited group, and a lady kindly moved us to a quieter and more private spot. We were checked on so often, too. We were overall just super impressed; couldn't shut up about how cozy and welcoming the environment was. Will absolutely make the trip back down here in the future.

One of our new kbbq places. It is not all you can eat, and the pricing is more expensive than other kbbq places in the area. But the meat is good and the sides are unlimited and all really tasty. The service is also very good. They are on top of refills and changing out the grill without being asked. We have gone a few times now and will continue to come back

Exit 5 kbbq Guys, I love KBBQ! Exit 5 is one of my boyfriend and I's favorite places to get it in the Greater Seattle area. The service has been very good most of the times that I have gone. I do not have to ask for the grill to be changed or for more banchan (side dishes). The music they play fits the kbbq vibes perfectly. I appreciate places that play good music cause it makes a fun atmosphere. What I've got: - Mixed Combo (Small $99): Beef Brisket, Seasoned Boneless Short Rib, Pork Belly, and Marinated Pork Neck - Beef Combo (Small $99): Beef Brisket, Seasoned Boneless Short Rib, and choice between Prime Boneless Short Rib or Ribeye - Pork belly ($35) & thin beef brisket ($38) The meats are always really good and I love that they help you cook sometimes and give you tips on how to cook it better. The small combo feeds 2-3 people and it gets me super full especially with the side dishes. However, I've noticed that the prices for the combos have increased by $10-20. They also only take orders off the new tablets they installed which was fine. Some of the banchan were not as fresh as usual; the cucumber was surprisingly bitter. Despite this, I do appreciate the workers kindness and attentiveness there. I've always loved going to exit 5 kbbq and will continue to go in the future. They're still one of the best around the area. Check them out:)

Exit 5 has been the go-to spot for high quality Korean BBQ for many years. With some new contenders opening up north, I came by to re-evaluate. I still prefer this spot over Baekjeong - they're basically even in price and value, but I lean to Exit 5's meat selection without the marination. Service is always excellent. Ask for water once and they'll remember to continuously check in on you for water. While the menu says rice and banchan costs extra after the first refill, I'm not sure if they really stick to this (haven't tried, but they don't seem stingy). However, definitely pricey for the amount. Also the fishcake banchan was warm which made it twice as good. Definitely needed to call that out. Large Beef Combo - while a large is meant to serve 4-5 people, I will argue that the meat itself serves more like 2-3 people. However, if you do get refills on the banchan and rice, you can likely feed 4 to be satiated but not necessarily full. Get the short rib over the ribeye.
