Liam our server was awesome we recieved our food so quickly and all the food tasted great!

Amazing service and food. Definitely coming back again. Food was very tasty and fresh.

Picked up my bf and his friends from a bachelor party so... you can imagine the weekend they had. 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! read more

For our friends' joint birthday celebration, we spent part of Sunday evening at FIREPAN for AYCE KBBQ. Our table went with Option A, which was around $29.99 per person (at most $31.50, though I can't remember the exact price). Lowkey, this is an absolute steal for AYCE KBBQ on a weekend dinner. That said, we had to grill all of our own meats, whereas at higher-priced spots, the servers usually help with most, if not all, of the grilling. Between the seven of us, we got to try a ton of different meats and sides. I personally loved the steamed egg, which was really jiggly with a slightly runny top that was perfect. I'm not the biggest fan of marinated meats, and most of the AYCE options here were marinated. However, I actually really enjoyed the Firepan steak! It was tender, and the marinade was savory without being too overwhelmingly sweet. It was definitely a fan favorite at our table. The other marinated meats were less memorable, though I do remember finding them too sweet. The non-marinated meats we tried, including the thick-cut pork belly and thin-sliced brisket, were just okay. The brisket was way too fatty for my liking, and we probably could have rendered the pork belly a bit longer to achieve that nice, crunchy texture. Additionally, I thought the dipping sauce were a bit odd. Both the ssamjang and sesame oil with salt had a sweet aftertaste that I didn't particularly enjoy. There was also a chimichurri sauce, which wasn't great either. For the area, FIREPAN's pricing for AYCE KBBQ is a steal, but I didn't enjoy much of the food beyond the steamed egg and Firepan steak. Personally, I wouldn't return, but those looking to maximize their protein gains on a budget may disagree. read more

Solid experience. This place sits in a strip center with a lot of free parking. Our server was very attentive and helpful as we enjoyed our time in a comfortable environment. There's a ton of options to choose from and you can make every visit a great one. You'll cook your food to your liking and there are delicious dipping sauces to complement what you cook. I think my favorite is the sesame oil and salt (you'll have to ask for it). I love the pork belly dishes, but everything is very good. read more

Huge shout-out to David Congona at FIREPAN Korean BBQ! He took excellent care of us and made our experience even better. We were surprised to learn he's still a trainee because the service he gave us was already five-star worthy. David deserves recognition from management--having someone who makes guests feel this welcome is a big win for any restaurant. Thank you, David! We'd gladly come back and ask for you again! read more

FIREPAN Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

A spur of the moment decision to stop for dinner as we passed this restaurant which was across the large Wayne Ave. Garage where we had parked. The delicious smells hit directly into our faces as the front door was opened. This looks like a popular neighborhood establishment. We were greeted and seated immediately on a Wed. evening. The setting is a bit dark with neon lights and table booths with their BBQ grills arranged around the restaurant. It did feel a bit tight for my legs due to the way the BBQ grill was set into the table. Service was great. The person attending to us helped explain the menu, how to order and decide on which proteins to be brought out. He would occasionally pop over and help grill our meats when we became too busy talking instead of cooking our meals. We ordered the All You Can Eat Option A and you are given 1 1/2 hr. to eat, don't know how strict they would be with that. Unless you are truly hungry, I would order an à la carte dinner instead of the all you can eat option. I particularly enjoyed the thick cut pork belly, steamed egg and spicy tofu stew. There were a few small portions of Banchan to go with our meal and you would need to order additional side dishes of noodles or rice dishes separately from the all you can eat menu choices. There were tried and true hearty portions of meats to grill and it was quite filling. Nothing extraordinary but tasty and a nice place to visit on a regular basis if you want a satisfying Korean meal. read more

Amazing service and food always fresh and taste the same everytime. Ambiance fits the cuisine.

Honestly, this is my new spot. We frequent Iron Age, but decided to give firepan a try this time. All the protein was really good quality. The steak was amazing. We did try one of the sushi rolls. I would skip on those the rice on. It was very mushy. Other than that, everything was really good. The side dishes were good and the service was exceptional. read more

We love firepan. They always have great service and delicious food! Our go to is- steamed egg, rice, salad, firepan steak (literally almost like la galbi) my friend said bulgogi was her favorite, pork belly and sliced brisket. Its pretty busy in the area I would recommend reserving if you go in the middle of lunch or dinner time. We went early on sunday afternoon around 3 pm, people were still eating & busy! I also like the vibe in there. It was a bit cold but the heat from the grill was adjusting :) read more

So glad they gave refills of the radish! Good refreshing banchan to combat the greasiness of the meat. The staff kept coming over to our table even though we chose to grill ourselves, so that wasn't ideal, but at least the staff is attentive and makes sure that their patrons don't burn down the restaurant (?). Good prime steak and brisket that wasn't too fatty. I wish they had more veggie options but this is KBBQ! They have good marinated bulgolgi from their option A too! Their ventilation is pretty good as well--my hair didn't end up smelling all Smokey! Came out very full and happy! read more

(Takeout review). Finally got some good pork belly. The chicken thighs with gochujang is very good. Glass noodles are very good. The octopus and kimchi weren't good. Good portions. Enough here to justify five starts read more

Great time at FirePan. The service was exceptional. I like that our server provided us with the option to cook on the grill. It allowed us to just enjoy the food without the worry of burning the food. The food was really good as well. My favorite were the short ribs. Delicious. I'll definitely be back. read more

FIREPAN Korean BBQ - Lobby - Korean Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Finally dined in and loved the quality of meat and serving size! Our waiter was friendly and offered to help with the cooking which I love as it takes the pressure off of the table paying attention and cooking. Really spacious with lots of space for walk ins on the Sunday we went! My only problem is while it was affordable for lunch ( around 35 per person for one of the all you can eat options) I really love Galbi and the combo that included galbi was quite the price jump. But def worth it despite that personal preference ! There's still so many great options - way more than a lot of places to pick from - and rice and sides are included. read more

Solid KBBQ spot in the heart of Eden Center! Good service and quality meat, but a bit overpriced compared to some other options farther out--however, the location is in the perfect spot surrounded by other fantastic eateries and shops which makes it a go-to for us. A bit busy on certain evenings, so be prepared to be on a waiting list if you don't get a reservation. read more

Not sure who is keeping this place in business. It's not that great every time I tried. Meats are mediocre... not the worse but not the best. The sauces are very off putting. The sauce that tastes like oranges is absolutely diabolical. Who wants to dip their meat in oranges? I'll be nice and leave my rating at a 3 star, but I would not come back here! read more

Quality of the meat and shrimp were definitely above expectations for an ayce lunch.... The ribeye was of high quality. That rich butter marinade was different, but that's a me problem not a them problem. The kimchi and sauced noodles banchan were very good. Food wasn't overly salty now that I think about it... read more

For the price in quality of the meat served at this Korean barbecue place I don't think you can beat the price! Not only do you get quality meat, but the quantity served as well is substantial to the point that you do not get hungry trying to flag your waiter down again for a second or third order set. For lunch on weekdays it is $23. All you can eat for the A package for dinner and weekends. The price is $30 per person. Will be returning here and also a great date spot to take someone if you like to enjoy privacy and have a full meal!! read more

4 of us got the $38 ayce (top tier) - Not much meat (beef) selection for the top tier. - Beef brisket/bulgogi/ pork belly/ribeye - this was our beef choices/selection for the top tier. Meh - Octopus+ squid was food - Tofu soup is bland - Steamed egg is good - we got a couple of the "crazy" rolls and it was decent to share. Need better meat selection between the tiers. Quality is decent and good for soju. read more

The ACYE option has more options than what most places I've been to have. With option C, the ribeye steak with butter was so worth the up charge! You get sushi, more "premium" meats and everything else in the other options Our server was really great and made sure to constantly come back to our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent customer service and food was just great! Definitely recommend coming to the Eden center and coming here! read more

Silver Spring parking are hard but they have garage parking that you pay by hour .the foods is another Korean BBQ place nothing crazy what would help the establishment is services ,if they have great services the place would be a 5 star the place is very nice layout they need to train server to how the traditional Korean BBQ is . read more

The service was OK, my niece did end up with a plate of raw chicken on her lap, but that was totally an accident. The server just fell. The overall ambience of the restaurant is really small and there's not very many places to sit so it's kind of a longer wait if you wanna sit down and meet it's very nicely decorated and it's clean. The food is good. They have all kinds of options for steak chicken seafood. I would go there again, but I probably would not take my kids with me. read more

I came here on a Friday night a while back, because I never tried Korean Barbecue before and I always like trying new things and new places whenever I can. I came in by myself without a reservation slightly after 7pm and by the time I was seated, it was almost 9pm. So I waited a little over an hour and a half, and it was partly worth it in my opinion. I purchased the Option A of the all you can eat buffet (Option B includes seafood), and it was a reasonable price in my personal opinion. I had 4 servings of meat in total (Firepan Steak, Thick Pork Belly, Spicy Chicken, and Brisket), and the meat did taste very good, but it was too fatty & greasy in my opinion, and it gave me a stomach ache. I also ordered a Korean beer, Terra, and the price was much too high in my opinion for a beer that was not much larger than a standard-sized beer, and it was not very special in my opinion either. It was still a very nice beer, though. I personally felt a bit unhappy about the price. The price of the all you can eat buffet was reasonable, but the price of my one beer was more than 1/3 the price of the all you can eat buffet. On the up-side, the wait staff was very fast and friendly, as well as attentive. The food came with some little complimentary side-dishes as well, including rice. If I come back in the future, I will probably come back just for the all you can eat buffet without getting drinks, and I will make sure to come back during the slower business hours. This place is worth a try, though, if you like Korean Barbecue or want to try something new. The food was delicious overall. read more

Our family loved this place. Great service. Great food. Great environment. Highly recommended.

This is a good AYCE kbbq spot that can accommodate a large group, but it's not my favorite. The cuts of meat aren't the best and I wish they had more side options compared to other options in the area. That being said, I only tried the brisket, pork belly, and steak. Out of the 3, I enjoyed the steak the most but I had to take my time pulling off some of the fattier bits. The servers were all really nice and very quick so there was never a lull in the amount of food on our table though. read more

Overall, the food and service was good but wasn't any different from most of AYCE Korean BBQs. Meat selection was average, smaller portions and priced a little higher than some of the other places I have been to. Service was a little slow but I think we had a new server. The physical space of the restaurant was a lot smaller than what was marketed via social media. The restaurant did not give us the lunch prices since its was considered a holiday weekend (MLK). read more

Overall a great experience! My girlfriend and I wanted to try a new Korean bbq spot and chose this one based on reviews. They have an all you can eat for $30 per person. The quality of the meats for $30 was better than some places that charge upwards of $40 per person. The only one that wasn't good was the spicy bulgogi. Idk what it is but it had a weird consistency and neither of us liked it. The thin pork belly is actually incredibly good and doesn't taste fatty. The steak options are delicious as well as the chicken options. The service was quick and friendly. There isn't much interaction since it's kbbq and you tend to cook it yourself. But we were seated immediately and food came out quick. The ambiance is very casual but has a sleek/modern feel inside. There is a fair amount of seating. The parking can be sparse on the weekend. Also recommend getting a reservation as it can be busy. Highly recommend this place if you're feeling KBBQ read more

In my opinion, this is the better location than the one in Woodbridge; I think the service here is way better from my experience over there. Same fare as usual, walk in, get seated, pick what AYCE option ( or not ) and dig in to what meat selections you choose. It was a bit busy when I went and honestly I didn't mind it at all. The food was what mattered to me because you definitely come here to eat right? I'm a fan of brisket, pork belly, bulgogi, the steamed egg, and the salad itself too. I could be content with just eating that and I'd still be full. It's best to come here with a group but it's still a good time with a friend or a date. Easier to split the bill with too. Since it's in Eden Center, check this place out and the other places surrounding it. You're going to need to walk for a bit after eating so much food! read more

FIREPAN Korean BBQ - KBBQ - Korean Near Me - Falls Church, Virginia

Okay, so first time at FIREPAN. The environment was similar to Iron Age,K-pop playing in the background, loud, and fun. I feel like that this place is designed to be friendly for non-Koreans, which is fine, just different. I had gotten that all you can eat and pretty much tried all the different types of meat. The side dishes: the side dishes could've been better, the kimchi was not fermented enough (a little too fresh). The fish cake was OK not the greatest, but decent. Their soybean soup was more like a miso soup? Not the greatest and they didn't have steamed egg bc of the egg shortage. The barbecue: OK so the spicy bulgogi was kicking! Had good spice and flavor, just not Korean? It had more of a perhaps sambal spice? Or something else that wasn't expected. But good! The bulgogi had good flavor and was tender! Pork belly was good both soy and spicy! The pork bulgogi was actually prob my favorite, just loved the tenderness and flavor! The only meat I didn't like was the FIREPAN steak, the flavor was good, but the cut wasn't. Had to spit out half of the steak because it was too chewy and uneatable. Overall, not too bad. Side dishes were a bit lacking, the meat overall was good flavor a mostly good cuts of meat where it was tender. Not the best KBBQ in NOVA but mid-tier and good enough If the usual top tier places are too busy read more

Very busy location & a tight squeeze. Bathrooms could also use some cleaning. However, service was good for how busy it was. They'll leave you with a pitcher of water on your table so it's convenient. If you get soda, just know that they serve you the can with a straw rather than pour it into a cup. Food was good! There are tiers for pricing, like if you want to add on sushi, it'll be an extra $3-$5, if you want the premium meats, a little bit more. I don't think the sushi add-on is worth it though for the options... it's not your typical sushi that you would get in a Japanese restaurant. However, the premium meat add-on was good in my opinion. We loved the beef belly & ribeye. The sauces they serve are different but there's a variety. I wish their steamed egg soup wasn't sold out when we were there. I felt like we didn't get the full quality of the price we paid because some things weren't on the menu that night. We may try this place again in the future, but for now, it isn't our "go to"! read more

The food is ok. Not premium meats. The service was slow. Kept looking for our waiter. Bust boys were better than our waiter at least. Ambiance was nice. Music and noise level was ok that we can still talk to each other across the table. read more

Great place for people to get together, and the all you can eat option is pretty reasonably priced with good meat options, even for option A. Unlike other Korean BBQs I've been to, there's no buffet for sides, just a couple on the table, but our server was great to keep checking on us instead of slowing down on getting more refills. We tried the bulgogi, pork belly, soy chicken thigh, and brisket. They were all great! Just requires a little patience to let it cook, but it's worth it and very filling. Don't go overboard or you'll feel it later! read more

Tried the AYCE option C at Firepan. Our favorites were the marinated shrimp, olive beef, beef belly rib, thin cut pork belly, and the spicy bulgogi roll. If you choose the AYCE, you are limited to 3 options at a time. Our waitress cooked the meats for us, and brought out orders quickly! We ate until we were full and for the most part enjoyed everything. The only items we didn't really care for were the beef brisket (it was dry and hard to eat) and the steamed egg. Overall we had a good time and plan to eat here again soon! read more

Came here after my workout excited for some good kbbq. Was reluctant since most kbbq is in Annandale but came with an open mind. AYCE at 3:45ish but since we left around 5 we were charged for dinner. Super OK brisket & a little better Firepan steak - good for the price though if you're eating lunch special, which apparently we weren't since we left later. $6 for cheese corn - I asked the waiter if it was worth and he said it was but for $6... eh. I liked the steamed eggs more. Even still, it was a quick wait and they were quick to accommodate our table of 6. It's a nice place to go with friends & looks pretty new. Not rushing to come back but for the price, I'd maybe be open to giving it another chance one day. Overall, OK experience. read more
