This place is not as bad as people say it is. I was really disappointed when they first opened and my grill kept turning off, but years later, they have definitely improved. I really wished their grills were bigger, and some of their meat was too fatty for me, but overall, not a bad experience this time around. Solid 3.5 for the food. What really bumped my rating to a 4 was the impeccable service. I did not expect our server to be so attentive. Never had to ask for another round of meat. Refilled our banchan and water without asking. Memorized every specific thing we wanted. It really made a difference so I just had to shout out the waitress for her hard work. 9292 i will be back and let's see if we can change this rating to a 5 star! read more

Lots of options and one of the better Korean BBQs in the area. Came here with friends and made sure I was hungry. Inside there is plenty of seating and you shouldn't need to get reservations. The food is prepped well, although the small cooking area makes it hard to do more than 1-2 meats at a time. The side dishes are fresh. They give a cool ice cream stick after your meal. The bill is on the high side, but that's expected for Korean BBQs in the area. read more

9292 Korean BBQ - Pork at 9292 Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

9292 has always been a go-to for KBBQ! Everything from the food to the experience has always been consistently great for the times I've been here. Like most KBBQ places, they provide side dishes and I like that they provide a variety like salad, soft tofu, soup, radish, kimchi and even on the burner itself you get steamed egg, mushrooms, corn cheese and marinated bean sprouts. All super good!! I feel like i could just eat the side dishes and leave happy haha. For the meat, I like the beef brisket the most! I also like the fact that they provide both AYCE and à la carte options. read more

This is an authentic K-BBQ spot -- just not for me. Walking in, the menu made it clear this place leans into a more traditional Korean BBQ experience, which I can respect even if it wasn't quite my speed. Food (2/5): The peanut appetizer and salad were enjoyable highlights. The shrimp, however, was served head-on and lacked the flavor I was hoping for, and both the shrimp and chicken needed heavy saucing to be palatable for me. Although my mom did enjoy the melon ice cream given to her at the end, she also experienced some stomach discomfort after our visit, which is worth noting. We will most likely not come back because of the food. Service (5/5) : Genuinely impressive. Our server had a warm, persuasive energy that kept us engaged even when we were quietly on the fence -- without us ever having to say so. The manager was equally personable and gracious. Vibes (4/5): Authentically cultural and true to the cuisine. If you're into a traditional K-BBQ atmosphere, this delivers. Overall (3/5) : A step up from K-Pot, but it didn't hit the way Firepan K-BBQ or Gyu-Kaku do for me personally. If you're adventurous and appreciate a more traditional spread, this could be your spot -- it just wasn't mine. read more

9292 Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

We ordered meat à la carte and were a bit disappointed. The beef brisket had no fat or marbling on it so it was pretty dry. I think it was the worst beef brisket I had at a Korean barbecue place so far. If we had got ayce it wouldn't have been a big deal but we didn't. The marinated beef short rib was good though. The way they had some of the sides as part of the grill was interesting. The service was decent and the place had a casual ambiance. read more

We were so disappointed in our dinner here. With a new baby it's hard to get out, so we were looking forward to enjoying a nice holiday meal together. We ordered the Combo 2 for $129.99 and expected some good quality meat. Right off the bat, the experience was shockingly poor. The sides (banchan) were not fresh and every single one of the little bowls were dirty and sticky on the outer sides. The residue was on the outside so we just let it go and skipped it. The meat quality was noticeably poor, even my husband who isn't picky could tell. The sliced brisket was thick, chewy and I could only eat a couple pieces. Our server was not good about checking on the meat and let our brisket burn as well as later our pork rib. I've never asked to talk to the manager at a restaurant in my life, but this went too far. The manager replaced the pork rib and brought some additional brisket which was only marginally better. The service was SO DISAPPOINTING compared to every single Korean BBQ restaurant I've been to! Our server didn't turn down the huge flame once the meat was done or stop by to make sure the meat didn't burn. We kept having to guess whether we should flip or turn it down ourselves to stop it from burning. This made it a very poor dinner experience. The last straw was the tiny piece of galbi they served, way too small for the total combo price of $129. When we talked to the manager, instead of bringing over a little more, she just took the old piece (which had been sitting out on our table the whole dinner) and brought an even thinner one. At least she replaced our burnt pork and brisket, but it would have gone a long way to just bring a small amount more of galbi. Even worse, I think it is gross and wrong they took the old piece sitting out on our table for over an hour to serve someone else. Really sad with our experience here. read more

12/2025 5 stars I live out of state but travel to the Annandale area frequently for work, and no matter how many times I come, 9292 Korean BBQ is always my go-to spot--even when it's a little out of the way. It's become a reliable highlight of my trips, the place I look forward to hitting for that perfect Korean BBQ fix. The food is consistently on point: high-quality, fresh meats like the prime beef brisket, marinated pork belly, and bulgogi that grill up beautifully at the table. The all-you-can-eat option is a great value, with a solid variety and generous portions. I love the banchan spread--fresh, flavorful sides that get refilled promptly--and the grill accompaniments like cheesy corn, steamed egg, and mushrooms really elevate the whole experience. Everything tastes authentic and satisfying every single time. The staff is equally impressive: friendly, attentive, and quick to help with grilling or refills, making sure the service keeps pace even when it's busy. The vibe is lively and casual, perfect for unwinding after a long day. What else could you ask for in a Korean BBQ spot? If you're in Annandale or passing through, this place is a must-try. Highly recommended! read more

9292 Korean BBQ - Bbq experience - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

This is my favorite Korean barbecue spot. Anytime a friend of mine suggests kbbq, we either go here or their sister hot pot location if we are in the mood. The service is great, they are always fast at delivering the items. They will stop by to help cook the meat if you are not a pro. The menu has lots of options and unless they are super busy, they don't limit the time to two hours. They'll let you hang out a little longer, they may cut off the ordering time, but they won't make you vacate the booth. I've always had great experiences. There is plenty of free parking, but it does get busy. We've had issues finding parking before, but I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes for someone to leave. It's in a complex with a few other restaurants. read more

We come for the AYCE meats and don't order anything else. I believe it is $34pp and comes with pork belly, short ribs, spicy pork belly, beef bulgogi, if you pay for the higher tier the prime beef brisket was really good. Also comes with the following that is re-filled: - Corn cheese, egg, bean sprouts - kimchi, peanuts in this awesome sauce, macaroni, salad, radishes, etc - ice cream bar! Similar to a melona bar but off brand, melon flavored and delicious. Parking: yikes...if you can carpool. At main meal times the big parking lot they have will be completely full. read more

Spacious and clean interior, including the bathroom. Food was good. Including their sauce. It wasn't mind-blowing quality meats, but it had decent meat selections. I liked the variety of banchans as well. They give egg soup along the sides of the grill including a bean sprout side dish. You have to ask for rice... I don't know why they don't automatically give it? lol Service was good but not the best. Sometimes they forgot to change our grill and we had to ask because it was burnt, or the egg soup was overcooked at one point too. I think it's just a matter of who you get as your server though. However, I would come back to give it another go! They also gave us complementary Melona popsicles! read more

9292 Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Restaurant was clean and spacious although the bathroom seemed a bit rundown. Service was slow at first but once they started cooking it sort of picked up. Some of the first meats burned a bit since they left it in the grill so I hopped in which seemed to prompt them returning to the table and being more attentive. Banchon was mostly good. Lots of radish and onions. Drinks were all reasonably priced (we got beer and soju) and $34 for ayce is a pretty good deal! A bit odd how the egg soufflé and bean sprouts just kind of continuously cook while you eat leading to some burning if you're not quick to eat it. Overall good experience and would return! read more

I came in for a quick solo lunch so I didn't get the AYCE but nevertheless I left full. read more

Points for us being able to get a table on a Saturday night; demerits for service and poorly-prepped meats leading to a meal that took way too long. The cuts of meat were huge, and they took forever to cook, which is not normal for a Korean barbecue. They were not sliced until they had cooked for a while. This led to each dish taking forever, and us being there for well over two hours... read more

Venue: Industrial vibes. Service: Woori B was very attentive and pleasant. Food: The variety of condiments/side dishes were multiple however not as flavorful as other Korean Restaurants I've tried. I would have liked less of these and not had to pay $1.50 for a bowl of plain rice. The bulgogi beef was tasteless as though it had not been marinated. The garlic/onion pork and chicken were also tasteless. Did enjoy the melon popsicle. read more

The food was great! We did AYCE option A and it was the options we want: beef brisket and pork belly all day. The ban chan selection was great! They will refill the eggs, cheese corn, mushroom and sprouts as soon as they're out. For your ban chan, you'll just request more if you want. No rice is served unless you order it. You really do not need any rice. There are enough sides for you to fill up on. Low carb - whoo hoo! We needed rice for my son. Service was great. It's nestled on the infamous little river turnpike. In a large lone standing building. I just think it feels a little filthy in there. The back row has all the pots and pans in bins that are just an eye sore. All outlets and things under the table are just overly greasy and unappealing looking. The dishes just all felt sticky. I think they need to change the plates out, because the dishes all felt sticky to the touch. There is a sign in the bathroom to not flush toilet paper in the toilet. That makes no sense. The establishment has to represent that price. I've been to plenty of AYCE where the place is cleanly looking. The cleanliness with great food, will make me want to come back again. read more

Not bad! Finally stopped by for Friday lunch and was not busy. We noticed a lot of seniors since there are good senior discounts for lunch which is very cute. Our server was attentive and made sure to refill our ban chan and sides when we were low (even the corn cheese and mushrooms!). We got the Prime Beef Brisket, Hand Rub Seasoned Steak, and Bean Paste Pork Belly. Loved the steak and pork belly. Those were marinated so well. The brisket was just ok. It was a little tougher, and I noticed there wasn't much fat on the meat to make it more tender and juicy. I loved that the ventilation was well done. There were like vacuums that suck up on the smoke right above the grill. The grill was quite smaller than other places for cooking meat since there were compartments around the perimeter for cooking sides like steamed egg, mushrooms, spicy bean sprouts, and corn cheese. I did not like the egg since it got hard on the edges, but I did enjoy the mushrooms even though they were plain. I'm not sure how I feel about the side compartments on the grill since it doesn't really cook the sides the best like other places. The 3 sauces were delicious! Enjoyed most of the ban chan including some sticky nuts, kimchi (one of the best I've had at kbbq), mac salad (a little bland), radish. There were also sides of tofu, lettuce, and spring onion that were all topped with a spicy red sauce that was a bit sweet? Maybe some fruit jam. They give you complimentary melon ice cream bars at the end!! read more

Very slow service. We ordered all you can eat and had gotten three plates of brisket. The waitress maybe had two other tables serving yet unable to get us the next round of order until 15 minutes later. We ordered another round of korean belly. Finished then 15 minutes passes until she brings the next order. Very disappointing in this restaurant since we have been coming here for years. read more

Tried this place on a Friday night, although busy we were seated fast and the restaurant itself is large. The sides were delicious and quite surprised at how many things came with the AYCE. We tried brisket, spicy pork, and onion garlic chicken. All were good and they didn't skimp on portions. For sides I enjoyed the salad, corn cheese and macaroni the best. It all finished with a melon popsicle. Will definitely return. read more

Let me save you the trouble: this is your sign to go to 9292. Ask for David. Period... DROP what you're doing and GO HERE NOW!!!! The wait is OVER!!! This place goes ABOVE and BEYOND the second you walk in and make sure you ask for David!! Literally the best of the best. So attentive and kind. You'll feel like you're getting first-class treatment. After a really sour experience at Honey Pig (another Korean spot), my family came here on a whim... and BABY we were blown away!! They gave us special menu items they normally only serve at select times but made an exception just for us. David really advocated for us the whole time, and even the owner came through! She got us seated immediately and was so warm. It felt like we were visiting family, not a restaurant. They even gave us ice cream for free!!!! At the end of service!!!! Food? GOOD. Prices? Lower than most Korean BBQ spots. Gratuity is included but nothing crazy. They refill all the side dishes without hesitation, and yes they cut the meat for you!! Y'all PLEASE give them a shot before anywhere else. You will NOT regret it. And ask for David! They also have a bar section so it's perfect for date night too! read more

We finally visited 9292 Korean BBQ for a family dinner something we had been planning for a long time. It was the four of us: my husband and I, my sister, and her husband. Since we all love Korean food, we decided to order their mixed platter with beef and chicken. Honestly, it's hard to put into words how fresh and flavorful the food was! The meat was perfectly marinated, tender, and full of taste. And the portion size? Way bigger than we expected. This platter can easily serve six people, but the four of us still ended up over-eating ,that's how good it was! We also ordered two bottles of soju, which paired perfectly with the food and made our evening even more enjoyable. Good food, great company, and endless conversations it turned out to be the perfect family night. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for authentic Korean BBQ with generous portions and a great vibe. read more

9292 Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

I decided to give "9292" a try for a Korean BBQ experience in Annandale, Virginia. I've been to several Korean BBQ spots where you cook the meat yourself, so I'm basing this review on those past experiences. The Good: Portion sizes were generous, and they brought out a wide variety of side dishes to snack on while the meat cooked. One standout was the cheesy corn, which sizzles on the side of the grill--super tasty. The rice paired nicely with the meats, and the salad had a flavorful kick that added to the overall meal. The Not-So-Good: Some menu items were unavailable, but we weren't told until after choosing the $39.99 option instead of the $34.99. Not a huge issue, but it would've been nice to know in advance. We tried the onion garlic marinated chicken and the shrimp--neither really impressed. However, the marinated prime beef and beef bulgogi were both excellent--full of flavor and cooked up beautifully. The scissors provided were extremely dull, which made cutting raw meat a struggle. Also, if you're planning a date night or hoping for an intimate dinner, be aware: the music was loud, and the smoke vent hangs right in front of you, making conversation a bit tricky. Plus, since someone has to be actively grilling most of the time, it's not exactly a laid-back, chatty dinner. read more

Came here with the family for a birthday celebration and wow was it good! We opted to do one of their set meals and it was amazing! The meat was high quality and well marinated. As much as we liked the meat, we liked the sides even more! This was some of our favorite banchan and sides. Would definitely come back just for these! Our server was also super attentive and made sure we were ok throughout the whole meal. He also helped out with different requests my family made! read more

9292 is honestly so good and so fun. The kbbq comes in two tiers $35 and $40. The $40 gets you delicious marinated prime meat, and some shrimp. While the beef is delicious it's not necessary for the upgraded. Would definitely recommend this place for service, ambiance, and the food. read more

Parking lot so no issues with finding a spot. We walked in and were sat immediately. The fan above the table was emitting some kind of smoke so that was a little strange. Our table had a small issue with the grill but the server eventually was able to get it lit. Our service overall was good. Really friendly and attentive but ge seemed a bit new. We had to ask for utensils and plates. My friend and I chose the first option of the all you can eat for $32.99 which strangely didn't come with rice so we both ordered one for $1.50 each. We ordered the pork ribs and the spicy pork belly first. The pork ribs were good, probably my favorite out of it all. You also get a lot of bulgogi. The steamed egg, mushrooms, bean sprouts and corn cheese were all a part of the grill so they started to burn towards the end. The steamed egg was very salty. I don't know if I would come back though, but it was good to try and seemed popular otherwise. They include a honeydew Melon popsicle which I really enjoyed. read more

Had to update that 9292 is still a great spot to enjoy Korean bbq. They have such an extensive menu and extensive banchan you can't go wrong. The service is always great with either helping you with the meats or letting you lead on your own. They also play tons of k-pop music in the background as you enjoy your meal. Still highly recommend 9292. read more

this used to be my FAVORITE kbbq place in VA, but ever since they changed the menu, the quality has gone down. AYCE option A and option B changed so now brisket is included in option A and the option B extra meat opt are not great. i would recommend getting option A because the quality of meat in option B is horrible for the price and they use the same seasoning for all the meat. the marinated beef prime rib ESPECIALLY the quality is AWFUL. the meat is like shredded but still together, it feels like im eating carpet meat?? read more

About a 1.5: I'm sorry, but 9292 Korean BBQ is just not it. The meat quality is super low, and the cost just does not justify what you receive.

I've been to 9292 twice in the last couple of months and it was a good experience both times. When you first walk in it smells great, right off that bat. It is a little more industrial feeling so it's not as cozy but still a nice vibe inside. We were able to order quickly and get the meat cooking soon. Overall the meat was very good and the sides were great! I appreciated that they will refill everything as needed. I would come back again! read more

The food was decent. I called in to try to make reservations, and I was able to. When I came in, they said it was a first come first serve basis. I came in a little early, but it was really upsetting that they would tell me they've put down over the phone but tells me this. Once I was seated, I was able to enjoy option A. The selection was decent and I enjoyed the corn cheese that was being cooked as we ate. The server took care of refilling the sides and drinks. I wasn't really interested in the ambiance as it was really crowded and loud. There was a lot of people waiting on the outside so it got really crowded up front. read more

We were a group of 4 and we got our money's worth! We did the $40 AYCE but honestly our favorite meats were included in the $35 meal so we will do that next time. All were excellent, but we especially loved the bulgogi and the onion garlic marinated pork. The banchan were excellent, and 3 dipping sauces. I did ask for one of those without the peppers, and got it. Delicious! Excellent service taking care of the cooking of the meats, frequent changing of the grill. We started with 4 meats and then added more. The grill includes cheese corn, mushrooms, sprouts, which get replenished as well. read more

I've done a lot of Korean bbq and this spot is one of the best! Their banchan and sides are unmatched. There's more variety than many other places I've been to and they include egg soufflé and corn cheese with no additional cost. The servers here are on top of it, so quick to help replace the grill grates so meat doesn't stick and burn. The quality of the meat is good and the price is really fair. This place does get really busy and be warned, the parking lot can fill up so maybe try and carpool if you're coming with a group. This remains my top recommendation for Korean BBQ in the DMV! read more

My go to KBBQ place in NoVa! Great all you can eat meats and honestly the unlimited steamed eggs and corn cheese are underrated stars. They have so many side dishes that combo amazing with the meats. Meat quality is great and they will help you grill the meats if you want! Sometimes it is a little hard to flag down a waiter, but they never keep your grill charred for too long. The place is large and it's always blasting kpop so be prepared to jam or be surrounded by kpop music videos on the abundance of tv screens. I love 9292 and hope they keep up the great service and AYCE deal going! read more

This place has really fallen off. Please don't advertise prime beef when what you send out is not. In the past you guys did serve prime quality beef. The last two times we went the quality of beef were not prime beef. Gratuity added is fine if the service was top notch. Service was slow and server kept forgetting our foods. Fried rice was forgotten. Overall food quality has gone down and service has gone down. There's a reason why you guys used to be busy on a Sunday but now only 2-3 tables. See photos attached for quality of food. read more
