Picked up my bf and his friends from a bachelor party so... you can imagine the weekend they had…read more All good fun! But they came back HONGREE. They said want to KBBQ? We said heck yeahhhh, so the decision was made AMBIANCE: Big space, pretty empty as we were one of the last people to eat before they closed! They were very accommodating-- letting us know their kitchen closed at 10:30 PM and the restaurant closed at 11 PM. When we arrived, it was 945, so we weren't looking to play around. We knew what we were gonna get. Onward we went SERVICE: My girl Arieles (PRETTY sure that's what her name was) was our server! She was so sweet and got us our stuff promptly. We knew we were coming in late so we weren't gonna waste time, but she was joyful to serve us regardless and I appreciate that. So many times people are FED UP, and it shows, to be at the end of their shift (and I get it), so it was nice to have someone of good demeanor to host us! FOOD: We ordered brisket, spicy pork belly, spicy chicken, and spicy bulgogi. First time trying the spicy Bulgogi for fear that it was gonna be TOO spicy and it was not at all! To reference -- I thought the kimchi was a bit spicier than the bulgogi! So try it, flavor is amazing! Can't wait to come again. I hadn't gone to KBBQ in a long while!

The taste is authentic Korean AF. Almost all staff are Koreans and the soup were really delicious…read moreand soulful. It's a perfect dish when rainy and snowy days. The meat-based soup brought our spirits back after a tough training session for me and my friend. We both got galbitang. It was so good. I also recommend the fried dumplings. The decor is pretty simple. There's a few private tables away from the main arrangement of tables. There are about 5 parking spots right outside. If you cannot get a spot, you'll have to drive past this building to a bigger parking lot by the other shops and walk back here. Not a big deal. Takeaway: the portion is giant. If you don't eat a lot, share one. Soup is 5/5 flavorful AF.

I debated whether I wanted to give this place 3 or 4 stars…read more 1. Mandu (3/5) - while it tasted good, the temperature was lukewarm which was disappointing. 2. Half chikin (4/5) - why do they call it chikin? It made me think it wasn't real chicken like what veggie grill calls their fake chicken. Anyway, it was messy but it was crispy and hot - it was fine. I've had better. 3. Lobster steamed egg (1/5) - the lobster was rubbery and I'm not a big fan of mixing sweet and savory together and for me, the sweet peppers ruined the entire dish. For me, the dish as a whole was less than the sum of its parts. 4. Ssam (5/5) - this dish saved the rest of the meal. The meat was tender the pear was nice and refreshing but to be honest, I consider this hard to mess up as long as the meat is good. My wife said that she wishes we just ordered two of these and nothing else lol. 5. Drinks (non-alcoholic - one was yakult and the other I think was passionfruit) - my wife really enjoyed both drinks so I guess I'll round up the review to 4 stars. If I lived in DC, I would probably go back here but since we're from out of state and visit DC once a year for work, we probably wouldn't come back here.

Such a great restaurant! Their portion sizes are very generous and their menu is extremely diverse,…read moreI was really happy with all the options they had! The inside is very well decorated and has a great ambiance whether you come here with some friends or family or for a date night. Our staff was super kind to us and helpful in recommending dishes.

I would ask for a booth/regular seating if you don't want to sit on the high top stools. I tried the mushroom and eggplant bao for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I could definitely eat more than two of these. The chicken katsu curry is a generous portion size and I took some home. My only note is that I would prefer more curry sauce for a more even sauce to rice ratio.

It is a small place, but the meats are fresh and tender. We had the bulgogi, galbi, and pork ribs and they were all delicious. Our favorite meat is the marinated rib tips. It has the best flavor when grilled. This restaurant is the best Korean barbecue in Northern Virginia. We like it better than all the other Korean BBQ places because the marinade is excellent and the place is smaller than most places , but service is good. They prefer to grill everything for you. We will definitely come back and refer others. They do not take reservations. You need to come get on the waitlist and wait...most of the time it's over an hour long. They will call you when your table is close to being ready. Highly recommend getting the marinated bulgogi and a marinated rib tips they are super flavorful!

They do amazing job at cooking up consistent wings and having great service. Just one thing to check is that your count of wings match the amount that is being served. We particularly love the classic crunch, the spicy, and the yangneom sauce. Though it's extra, we always get a side of pickled radish to cleanse the palate in between different wing flavors. If you order a Terra beer, it pairs perfectly with your order of wings. If I were to order just one appetizer over and over again, it would be the so-tteok so-tteok or the sausage rice cake skewer; it's perfectly sweet and spicy. I'd recommend it as a chill place to hang with friends, especially on a Monday or Tuesday early evening.

Texture was bad and not a lot of flavors --my friend ordered the jajangmeng, I tried one bite and thought it was ok but my friend said there's way too much sauce and it's overwhelming --I ordered peanut noodles, very light on flavor, I did make it a lot better by adding the sauce from the shrimp dumplings. The crunchy veggies (cucumbers and I think jicama) were good) Would have given a 3 star but service was nice

You order and pay at the counter before receiving your meal, which worked for me since I was taking it to go. They packed it up really nicely and I had myself a little picnic to take advantage of the good weather we've been having. The kimbap was huge and every ingredient was fresh - no dried out rolls here! It also came with a side of spicy mayo. While I was waiting for my meal, I noticed that they have a banchan and miso soup station so definitely will have to do a sit down meal here next time.
