    Food is not bad, price is reasonable for all you can eat. Rolls are not as good and taste a bit too oily. We had the all you can eat and like the Ribeye Steak, Pork Belly and Bulgogi. The place was pretty packed so I recommend reservation instead of walk in. There is a parking lot across the street on Wayne St for easy parking. Wait staff was ok not the best. Oh and be prepared to cook unlike other Korean BBQ where server cook it for you here you have to cook it yourself.

    I love this place so much. I think I've eaten there at least 10 times in the past year and I've invited different people and they love the food also. The meat is high quality and always consistent! The waiters are always on top of changing the grills, and they always answer any questions about how to do KBBQ if it's not someone's first time. I think the ambiance is quaint, but I'm not actually a huge fan of seeing k-pop videos/ music selection, but it's not distracting

    Went here on Veterans Day to catch up with a friend. I believe this is my second time getting Korean AYCE BBQ. The rarity it is for me to come to Silver Spring but it was worth it. I wasn't a fan of the wait but we were eventually seated. It was kinda dark in the restaurant, gave off blue light vibes. We ordered the option A (it was 24.99 or 29.99, can't recall) 90 minutes lunch special & partook in the all day 50% off Happy Hour for drinks. I must say I was highly impressed with the food and the drinks. We also got the Fall season themed drinks (also 1/2 off for Happy Hour) & they were FANTASTIC. Of course I had to get the Pumpkin Spice expresso. I would definitely come back again and get full as a tick again. I couldn't tell you the distance from the Silver Spring Metro because I drove.

    "japchae"

    Calling is korean kbbq is a joke. Food is white washed to the max and everything is either drenched in sesame oil or spice to make it "asian". japchae with only noodles DRENCHED in sesame oil mind you and offering sushi that's as good as gas station food. thin slice brisket is THICK sliced and thick cut pork belly is THIN disappointed considering the 4 star reviews. wouldn't come back here

    Wenthere during a recent visit to see friends. I'll give it 4 stars. If you're expecting a traditional authentic Korean BBQ, this is probably not the place for you. Firepan is more of a modern spin on KBBQ. We got the all you can eat, which is a great deal. You can pick any of the meats and you get. I would recommend the soy and spicy marinated meats. The kimchi is ok, but you won't get the 8 or so banchands that you would at other places. Our server was excellent and I don't remember her name. She was attentive and gave us a rundown of what to expect. She brought most things promptly but it was a busy night. Parking maybe challenging but you can also take the metro. All in all, I'd probably go back again. But my KBBQ pocket is only half full.

    Of course as a first timer I was excited to see the hype. It's definitely hyped sadly I couldn't enjoy my entire experience because it was super busy being Valentines Day evening but even with that the server was forgetful, and wasn't really attentive to the table. We ordered the steak & chicken , also sushi rolls the sushi 10/10 !! Definitely worth a try and the K-Steak was delicious very tasty. The only issue was the Chicken it wasn't flavorful and was very easy to burn on the grill. I have to return for a better experience because it wasn't bad just busy and I understand crazy nights happen

    We had a fun experience at Firepan. I thought mostly everything we had was good, including the strawberry soju and old-fashioned. The bar looked nice and I'd stop in for just a drink. Salad and kimchi were delicious. We all liked our meats. I recommend skipping the Korean fried chicken. I thought it was going to be Bonchon-style, but it was very lackluster and not even close. Server was friendly, though inattentive. We definitely had trouble flagging her and getting more water, etc. It also took forever for the check to come. We went early enough so there was not a wait, but I definitely recommend reservations. I'd return if wanting KBBQ and not wanting to drive to Rockville.

    Went to Firepan for a nice weeknight dinner. The restaurant was mostly empty and quiet but more people started to come in as the evening got later. We ordered the Option A which is All-You-Can-Eat and included different cuts of chicken, pork, and beef. Our server was very attentive and our meats came out quickly. While it's not the best KBBQ in the area you get a lot of value for what you are paying. I would put it on the same level as Iron Age for KBBQ in the MD suburbs.

It's also a short walk from Takoma Metro. Cute and casual place. I didn't need reservations on Friday night or Monday night coming around 6:30 or 7 PM. It's probably harder and bigger groups but if you're just coming in two or four or even six, it should be pretty manageable. My favorite here is the pad Thai. I get extra lime and the spicy tray. And it's one of the best pad Thais I've had. The drunken noodles was OK and the green curry was OK for me. Not bad but also not what I'd be returning for (I'm coming back for pad thai!) my husband loved the green curry though. Service is pleasant and nothing over the top and water is topped off timely manner. Absolutely no complaints. They have two single stall bathrooms and that's kept pretty clean. They're outside seating is for takeout so that's kind of pleasant if you wanna do takeout and just eat it outside.

I wasn't a huge fan of the recommended sauce, which was served cold and detracted from the dumpling imo. The mango lassi was cold and delicious, and overall we enjoyed our meal.

None of us were from this area, and we intended to go to the Mayflower Chinese Restaurant, based on Yelp reviews. However, once we walked in the door, it was apparent this place was focused on carryout, and there was no way we were staying to eat in their dingy entrance area. We walked next door to the Meleket Ethiopian restaurant. However, the place was deserted, and we didn't stay there either. We tried the Lime & Cilantro, the next place down, but it was packed and couldn't handle our group. So, we skipped past the verernary clinic and went to Spring Garden. And, what a great choice that was. They offer a huge menu of Chinese, Thai, and Japanese meals. Everything is reasonably priced. Once we got our food, we were impressed with the quality and portion sizes. And, through it all, the service was prompt and friendly. I ordered Hot and Sour soup (my bellwether for Chinese restaurants) and beef chow fun. The soup was flavorful without being overpowering, and the chow fun was delicious too. I liked everything so much that I ordered another soup and Thai Basil with Chicken to go, and that's been my lunch for the past couple of days. Don't be put off by the seediness of its location.
