We came here for lunch to get our carnivore eating on! This place is located directly on the corner of Imperial/State St of the strip mall. There is plenty of parking on either side of the plaza but Im sure it does get crowded during peak hours. Most of the spots had a 3 hour parking limit. Upon entering we were promptly greeted by the hostess and brought to our table. The decor and ambiance of this KBBQ place is pretty standard with long wooden tables in long rows with your BBQ grill directly between every 4 seats. This place does have weekday and weekend pricing. Weekday Lunch $15.99, Dinner $20.99, Weekend is $20.99 All day long. They do have a 2 hour time limit too! The menu is organized by protein: Beef, Pork, Specialties and side dishes. All tables comes with their 10 signature banchan dishes including kimchi, potato salad, soy tempura, corn, pickled onions, macaroni, cucumbers, bean sprouts, kimchi radish, and picked cabbage. Of course you also have your side salad, and your omelet egg cooking on the side of the grill. For those alkis yes they have a pretty good selection of drinks! Soju wise they have your classic Red and blue bottle jinro. But they also have flavored soju like watermelon, grapefruit or maple. For beers they have a nice selection of domestic and your usual Korean beers (Hite and Cass) by the bottle or a small selection of draft beers too. Onto the meats! We tried pretty much all the popular beef and pork options here. The hands down favorite has to be the Garlic Pork Belly, for the pork lovers, and Spicy Galbi, for the beef lovers. The pork belly is perfectly seasoned with a mild roasted garlic profile. Paired with the soy dipping sauce it just melts in your mouth! The Spicy Galbi aka beef rib fingers when cooked medium rare was oh so juicy and flavorful! Overall the meat quality was pretty good for AYCE with pretty well seasoned selections. Of course they have some hits and misses like every place! The other must try items include: spicy squid. These are marinated in a sweet and spicy sauce and cut into long thin strips. These were super juicy when cooked just right with the right amount of heat to the mouth feel. Marinated Pork Skin - This was one of the most interesting item to try! Its literally like crispy spicy pork chashu! Def cook this one till its crispy to get the best texture! Volcano Rice: This was the most entertaining item to watch them make! They cook this dish on a separate pot directly if front of you or table next to you! Its like watching the benihana vocano show except without the smoking onion rings haha. Instead you have a smoking egg omelette cooking off the top! This comes in two varieties regular beef or premium shrimp flavors. The shrimp add on isnt on the menu but you can ask for it for an extra charge! Each order comes in two large bowls after cooking. The flavor is like a wet sweet and spicy fried rice. If you love bibimbap this is pretty much the same gochujang sauce. Overall the service here was very good. The waiters were very attentive and helpful. Yes they have those call buttons on each table like other KBBQ places! Not sure why this place was getting a bad wrap about service. Or maybe they were having a off day before? If youre looking to celebrate a birthday yes they do have birthday dessert here too! Its pretty much a rice cracker with your choice of ice cream (chocolate or strawberry) wrapped inside. Oh so yummy! If youre in the area and looking for some yummy AYCE definitely check this place out!

I visited this was early in the day, visits during busy times might change the experience. The service was friendly and courteous. The food quality and selection was decent. Keep in mind that some other places might charge more but you get better. Price to quality; its adequate. The grills are on the small size. For up to 2 people it will suffice, larger groups go somewhere else. Unfortunately in my first visit the part of the grill where the egg is poured was not cleaned. My spoon was dirty, I had just taken it out of the bag. The cleanliness of the grill and utensils is an issue and concerning. For a place that just opened for business first impressions matter. What else goes on that we cant see in the back? Is the food prepared or handled in a sanitary fashion? This was a bad impression.

It was a terrific lunch! The place was clean, staff was professional, extremely attentive, polite. Everything was brought quickly, had everything we needed immediately. And the food was incredible! Beautiful presentation, salads were cold and crisp, very flavorful. The meats were perfectly seasoned, tender, delicious. The side dishes were tasty, and plentiful. They bring you as much as youd like! It was a wonderful feast! There were alot of menu options and everything was high quality and delicious. For $15 lunch time, it was a great deal!!! Only complaint was music was sooo loud, had to shout to talk, couldnt hear waiters. Outside of that, it was fantastic, will definitely go back. So glad to have a wonderful place in Lynnwood!

I stopped by this weekend with a group of friends for lunch and WOW, what an experience. AMG Korean BBQ offered great quality meats and a large selection to choose from. My favorite was the garlic pork belly and the dragon fingers. Also, I really love their cilantro sauce and their special fried rice. I can eat that everyday. I usually drive to K-Town for Korean BBQ, but now that I know theres something closer to me I will be visiting again. Location is clean and their service was outstanding. Lunch $15.99, dinner $20.99 - All you can eat. Theres also a 2 hour minimum, but cmon, if you eat more than two hours, you really gotta go. lol

Great quality and large selection of meat, seafood, and vegetables in all manners of marinades. Must try: garlic pork belly, spicy beef strips, galbi (short ribs), and pork skin. (Yes, pork skin! It wont get chicharones-level crispy, but dang it was flavorful!) And dat volcano fried rice you can order is fun to watch and delicious to eat! Friendly and attentive service. Great for parties! There is a 2-hour limit but you WILL get your fill by then. Have I had better? Sure I have, but this is definitely the BEST AYCE KBBQ Ive had outside of K-town. Disclosure: I was there as a guest for an event.

I really wish I could give this review NO STARS because it was that horrible! First things first, what Korean BBQ place DOESNT HAVE RICE PAPER ?! this place was SO Americanized and it was honestly the worst experience I ever had. The portions were so small as well as the grill. Even though there were not many people the staff was not attentive. If you want authentic and amazing Korean BBQ I suggest you go to Bulgulgi hut in koreatown or Gen in Alhambra . Not only is it cheaper but its AMAZING AND AUTHENTIC. Please save yourself the trouble and suffering and just go to Bulgulgi hut.

Every item we enjoyed here was very fresh. I have been to many Korean BBQ establishments but this one stood out from the rest because of their impeccable service and delicious food. They offer a huge variety of sauces on seasoned meats for every customer craving. My personal favorite was the bulgogi and fried rice. We topped off our meal with their rice cake ice cream sandwich dessert which was delicious! It was the perfect amount of light, yet sweet, taste that was needed after a huge savory meal!
