    Summary: Newish spot in the Wilde Lake community area that offers both a traditional KBBQ experience or an AYCE (All-You-Can-Eat) Option for $45 a person. Normally, when I go to an AYCE place, I feel like I'm giving up some quality in favor of quantity, but it's just so hard for me to pass up the option when it's there. We decided to opt into the AYCE option ($45/person, but $24 if you're between ages 5-10). The service was very speedy and kind. They definitely have a system here and it works. The staff seemed on top of things and everything was very organized. The decor was modern , sleek, and clean. The way the process works is that you typically order about 3 types of meat to start off with your selection of sides. Once they start cooking your third meat, they ask if you want to put in an order for more meat. The portion sizes aren't too bad given that it's AYCE-style. I'd say that for one "serving," a table of 6 adults can probably get like 2-3 pieces of the cut. For reference, when we ordered the pork belly, we got 2 slabs of pork belly. (Of course, you also have the option to order more.) Now the important part, the taste. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and the flavor. Everything was delicious and tender. We ordered a top blade steak option and I feel like it's a type of cut that very commonly comes out tough and chewy. It wasn't the case here. The bulgogi marinade was delicious and everything was on point. The server made their rounds on time - in KBBQ world, I feel like the metric is, do they let the meat burn if you don't supervise it yourself. They did a great job from top to bottom. Although $45/head is pretty pricey, I feel like it's still competitively priced compared to similar options in the area and I didn't feel like I had to stuff myself to get my money's worth. The meat felt like quality and the side dishes had a great variety and were tasty in their own right. Great option for a nice meal out and would totally recommend.

    Overall: excellent food, good service, dark ambiance, pop music, multi-stall gendered restrooms, high chairs, booster seats, and changing tables available They have all you can eat and à la cart options. The meat might have been my favorite of all of the MD Korean bbq I've had. Their bulgogi, spicy brisket, and soy chicken really stole the show for me. I loved that they had two types of pickled radishes and japche in their ban chan options. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable. I always love Korean bbq but I typically leave feeling stuffed in a gross way. I didn't feel like that leaving here- just content and happy. My only complaints were that the pork belly was a little tough and the shells kind of stuck to the shrimp. I wish Korean bbq places would have bigger tables. Not a knock on them, it seems like that everywhere but there are way too many dishes involved for a regular sized table.

    Came here for all-you-can-eat KBBQ. For $45.45, you get to enjoy all the meat you want. We got spicy bulgogi, chicken, seasoned top blade steak, butter garlic shrimp, and many more options. The worker was very friendly and accommodating and kept bringing us sauces and japchae. I would say this is definitely worth it for all-you-can-eat KBBQ. I would recommend this place! There's plenty of seating, and the restaurant is very clean. They also offer free coffee afterward, which was such a nice bonus!

    Came here for dinner with friends and was very happy with the experience, food was delicious and service was good. Made reservations online which was easy and convenient, saved us a wait on a Friday night. Got seated quickly, the place is nice more upscale vibes. The staff were attentive and fast, they also handle the cooking of the meat which is nice. We as a group ordered the all you can eat option, and it didn't disappoint. We all had plenty to eat and was happy with the selection. Tried brisket, bulgogi, steak, pork belly, garlic shrimp, and the various sides. The meat was all high quality especially for ayce. Favs were the bulgogi, brisket and steak. All well seasoned and flavorful, and with plenty of dipping sauce options. The banchans/side dishes were good and even the dumplings and ramen on the ayce menu were good. Overall really liked this place for ayce, they also have à la carte options which I'll have to come back to try for. Good vibes and a nicer/fancier spot than most regular kbbq spots. The cost was more then reasonable for good quality ayce, fyi they do have a 90min time limit for ayce so come hungry. Nice to have an upscale Korean bbq option in Columbia/ Howard county. Theres plenty of parking and the service here was excellent. Definitely recommend and will be back.

    All the extras! Salad + assortment of kimchis.

    Checked out Chadol (newly opened in February) on a Saturday evening for my birthday celebration. It wasn't overly crowded, and the atmosphere was great. A dark ambiance without blasting loud K-pop like Iron Age, so you can actually carry on a conversation. We did the All-You-Can-Eat ($45.28/person, 90-minute limit). The meat quality is top-tier, and our server, Ria, was incredible. She cooked all of our meats at the table and nailed a perfect medium on the top blade steak. Food Highlights: * Spicy Bulgogi: My absolute favorite....sweet and spicy perfection. * Soy Top Blade Steak: Deliciously sweet and savory, again, cooked perfectly. * Plain Brisket: Pairs amazingly with the salt and sesame oil combination Ria recommended. * Curry Pork Belly: Gets a great crispy crust with a nice, subtle curry flavor (just wish it was a bit saucier) * Spicy Brisket: Very solid with a good kick. * Sides: The soybean soup was spicy with plenty of tofu and paired great with white rice. They also offer spicy ramen (seemed like classic Shin Ramen...a slightly random menu addition, but satisfying). Finally, I wanted to mention how amazing the strawberry lychee was. The drink was made with the regular soju. It was smooth with a fresh kick of strawberry and 2 huge lychees. I could drink 10 of these. TL;DR: Phenomenal meat quality, fantastic service, comfortable noise level, and abundant parking. Highly recommend

    If you are looking for KBBQ close by, then this place wouldn't be so bad. If you're looking for the best KBBQ in the DMV though, skip this place. We had many of the traditional Korean barbecue meats, including pork belly, beef brisket, pork jowl, bulgogi, top blade steak, regular steak, chicken, etc. Overall, the meats weren't bad but they felt not as up to par compared to other places in NoVa like Oegadgib and Sō. The brisket here wasn't as fatty and delicate, and the pork belly wasn't as tender as other places. The top end steak was the best thing, packed with flavor and savoriness. I found the other meats like the chicken and bulgogi a tad too sweet for my liking. The sides were limited at our table. No beansprouts, pickled onion, or other types of kimchi apart from the napa cabbage one. Salad was also included, but again i found it to be a bit heavy and sweet with the dressing compared to when they use gochugaru and oil. We did get radish and kimchi but we continually had to keep asking for more. Usually at other spots, if you ask for extra banchan, they will give you a lot so you don't have to keep asking but for here, we kept on getting small plates. We kept on having to ask almost every time our waiter came around, along with everything else including water, rice, sauces, etc. Not necessarily bad but other KBBQ spots will see these things and refill or give you more immediately without you having to ask. The atmosphere was nice and felt classy. The grill though was a bit weak but the pans they used were nonstick so they required less changing than traditional ones. I also found the dipping sauces that came by default were lacking oomph like what comes at other places. Our total bill ended up to be $55 a person, so for that price, I would have much rather eaten at other spots like Honey Pig or Iron Age. Not a bad spot but definitely mediocre compared to others.

    I am a big fan of the Chadol restaurant group and so happy its made its way to Hoco. I stopped by recently with friends during their soft opening. The cuts of meats were fresh and the service was great. We opted for the AYCE menu. We enjoyed everything from the brisket, top blade steak, pork belly, and pork jowl. All of the cuts did not taste like they were once frozen. The banchan spread was beautiful and the soy bean soup had the right amount of spice. They even include shin ramen in the AYCE menu. My friends and I really enjoyed our experience here. The ambience was dark and intimate. We saw plenty of families and children enjoying their meals. Our server was attentive. The banchan and waters were constantly getting refilled. We will definitely be back for their a la carte premium cuts.

    Quality meat! I've been the Chadol location in Rockville and thought I'd try their new location in Columbia. Typically you'll find the Korean spots in Ellicott City when it comes to Howard County; so I'm glad to see this location in a different area. It's been about a month since this location opened and I have to say the meat quality is never disappointing. The AYCE (all you can eat) opinion is a must try at least once and worth every penny. Our waiter was Isaac who was amazing. I'll be trying to request him if possible when I make future reservations at this location. Our meat of choice was: Brisket Galbi Pork Belly Curry Pork Belly Soy Top Blade Top Blade Steak Sides: Korean ramen Fried dumplings Rice Kimchi Radish Corn Salad For AYCE, you get half off premium meats, however, we didn't get to do that because what we chose from the main meats was satisfying. Perhaps next time. The curry pork belly was a first for me. I loved the crispy texture from the grilled pork that was dressed in curry. I'm drooling thinking about it. All the meats were tender. The kimchi was great in flavor. All the sides were good. Overall, it's one of the top Korean BBQ spots on my list. There is an à la cart option if you're not wanting to pick the AYCE option. You can't go wrong either way. Customer service is excellent. If you've never been they'll give you a rundown of the menu and concept. Ask about their meat quality which the proof is in the pudding; it's top tier. You are constantly checked on to see if you're ready for more meats and they consider your preference on what meat you'd like cooked next. Do yourself a favor and go to Chadol!!

    My family eats kbbq about twice a month. Meaning I've been to nearly every spot in the Howard county, Baltimore, and DC. I'll say this is the best AYCE until you get to So down in NoVa. Huge portions, big variety of marinated and non marinated meats, and very fair prices. One thing I liked about chadol was the server did all the cooking, as someone with a chronic back injury it's nice to not have to do the cooking. Having an attentive server who stays on top of the cooking allows you to drink and relax more. Also the corn cheese here was the best iteration of corn cheese I've ever had. It was almost like elote and came sizzling like fajitas.

    We stopped by for an early weekend dinner without reservations and were seated after about a five minute wait, which was great. The restaurant has a nice rustic meets modern vibe that feels warm and inviting. We decided to try the AYCE option ($45 for adults and $24 for kids ages 5-10). We sampled the brisket, seasoned top blade steak, seasoned pork belly, pork jowl, garlic shrimp, and also paid extra to try the premium jumulleock marinated beef. We added a few included sides like ramen and fried dumplings as well. Most of the meats were decent, but unfortunately the premium jumulleock (which we paid extra for) was surprisingly bland and underwhelming. We did let our server know, and she said she would inform the manager. Additionally, some of the fried dumplings were over-fried and too hard, and my daughter didn't want to eat them. Overall, while the experience wasn't terrible, it felt a bit pricey compared to other AYCE Korean BBQ spots we've tried, especially considering the quality and flavor didn't quite stand out. The location also isn't the most convenient for us. At this point, we're not sure if we would return.

The soup was delicious too and full of substance. This isnt your watery soup. There was so much in the soup that you would be surprised or be like "yea, this is how a soup should be".

Expecting to be great from all the reviews....mediocre at best. Overrated. Overpriced. We did 2 of the combo grill items and one entree. The grill experience just was not up to par. Rather than us grilling, they do it for you. So, first round with 2 different beef items, that seemed fine since it was grilled separately in the process aspect, but they took the meat off and swaped it so we could not grill as we wanted to as we wanted it. That first batch was way undercooked and very fatty. Second, tenderloin was ok. Then they did the combo beef and squid, and we saw that beef getting really nice, where we thought they would do the same in taking it off then doing squid. NOPE! THey just threw it all on and pretty much ruined the whole thing since we never intended to have them together...and for me, it was inedible since I can't eat seafood and squid particularly. WTF already. No mention of it in the menu unless it was in Korean language. Tossed that $ right down the crapper. As for ambiance and service, just don't have high hopes. The person doing the grilling split us up to access the grill and was constantly in the way of any conversation. Service? Hahaha..that's a 2 of 10 rating there. Never once even attempted to ask us if everything was ok, never asked if we needed anything or water, napkins, more food...just all business end and forget the rest. All 4 of us had the same thoughts. We had to pester them to get anything. This one is a one-and-done for all of us. It was so bad that I normally take images, and this was just not one for the books nor will ever be memorable other than an expensive mistake. Celebrity chef...whatever. Rosanne Barr is a celeb...'nuff said. This one can be skipped.

Given the various Korean restaurants in the area, I must say that this place is a great spot for family, friends and group gatherings. The food here is very fresh and the staff are very friendly. We ordered various dishes from their LA Galbi, Bossam, Fish and tofu soup combo, seafood pancake, spicy pork and their rice cake soup. The LA Galbi was the best we had in town. Tons of flavor and the meat was juicy and meaty. The Bossam was delicious. Pork was tender and comes with sides to help you bring out the flavor of the dish. Definitely ask for their bean sauce and slices of jalapeño and fresh raw garlic. The fish and tofu soup is really good and can be shared with others. Fish was fresh and flaky. The seafood pancake was thick and has tons of seafood and comes with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy pork was plenty and has tons of flavor. Not too spicy. The rice cake soup was surprisingly good. Tons of flavor with slices of rice cake, eggs and pieces of beef. Great for sharing especially with young kids. Overall, this place is great to check out if you are in the area.

He repeatedly gave our orders to other tables & when we complained and tried to order more food, he told us we COULDN'T order anything else until our missing orders arrived. Except THEY NEVER CAME!!! After waiting 20+ minutes, we complained again and Nye gave us such a rude and condescending tone and response: "We have other customers too ya know." Seriously?! WE'RE CUSTOMERS TOO, ya douche bag. It got so ridiculous that 38 MINUTES into our meal, our table of FOUR had received a grand total of TWO plates of meat - even those were the plates we had to take from the neighboring table because our food kept getting sent elsewhere. And here's the kicker: AYCE is only 90 MINUTES. More than 1/3 of our allotted dining time was basically wasted waiting for food that never came, while our server wouldn't even let us order more. We only FINALLY started receiving our meat after we complained to the Vietnamese manager. He immediately stepped in, got things moving & extended our dining time to make up for the ridiculous delay. Shout out to him!!! But having to escalate to a manager just to receive the food we were PAYING FOR is absurd. And maybe Nye felt like he didn't have to bother because the gratuity was already automatic due to our party size. That would certainly explain the complete lack of effort. When your tip is guaranteed regardless of how badly you treat the table, I guess actually serving your customers becomes optional? STAY AWAY or at the very least, pray you don't get Nye as your server.
