All you can eat Korean BBQ, say what?

So I'd been hearing a lot about this $15 all you can eat Korean BBQ place called Palace particularly because a few of my friends love eating here when they are down in Federal Way/Tacoma and need a Korean BBQ fix.  I'd never been, but I just so happened to be in Tacoma last weekend and I just so happened to be with these friends that were craving BBQ..... so off we went to eat ourselves into blissfulness.

I have to say for the price we pay, this deal is amazing.  There are about seven or eight different different selections of meat from pork to beef to shrimp along with refillable banchan (side dishes), one stone pot soup, and a bowl of steamed egg.  Our first order of food allowed us to pick five items.  We had the beef marble brisket, pork belly, shrimp, grilled marinated beef, and marinated tender beef. Yes it was a lot of beef! To offset all the meat, we had plenty of banchan and also a salad.  The service was quick and they started the grill in front of us as soon as we finished ordering and brought out the banchan a few minutes later.  The restaurant was not quite full as we got there early in order to beat the dinner crowd at around 5:15 pm.

As the platter of meat was brought out, our hungry stomachs began to rumble.  We began to throw our meat onto the hot grill and soon the aroma of cooking meat began to fill the air.  Although there was a filtration system turned on above us to collect the smoke, we all still collected the smell of meat in our clothes and hair.  Delicious meat with hot rice soon began making its way into our stomachs.  We took turns cooking so that we'd all have a chance to eat. For girls we ate a lot and soon were on to ordering another plate of meat with not quite as much as the first order.

We were stuffed beyond words at the end of our dinner. Why do we do all you can eat when at the end we feel like we are going to burst?? One answer because it tastes so good!! We are done with BBQ buffets for a while....... until the next craving strikes!  All in all, Palace is a great place with good food and a good deal.  The people are nice and the service is quick.  Love Korean BBQ? This is your place!
