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.

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.

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.

TLDR: One of the best AUCE KBBQ spots in MoCo. Excellent service, quality meats and reasonable price for the selection. Vibe: 5/5 - Firepan is located in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, so come prepared to street park or garage. Fortunately, there is a huge garage across the street from the restaurant that is reasonably priced which we opted for. Firepan has a deceivingly small storefront that can be easily missed, however once you are inside the restaurant goes deep within the building. With around 2 dozen grill tables, Firepan gets popping at peak hours. My party of 12 were able to comfortably sit at 2 adjacent tables for our 8pm reservation. The restaurant is well laid out, clean and perfect for groups both small and large. Service: 5/5. The Firepan staff were very accommodating from start to finish. My party of 12 had staggered arrival times for our 8pm reservation, however the hostess was able to seat us after we had more than 50% of our party present. The reservation process was also a breeze, as we had to call it in due to the size and they were able to accommodate our 2 tables adjacent request. Our server did a fantastic job keeping our group happy with taking meat orders, drinks and fresh grill pans. This is a grill yourself KBBQ experience vs. the server doing the cooking, so be forewarned. Bonus points for the staff accommodating a birthday with free dessert (ice cream for the table) and candles! Food: 5/5. In a sea of AUCE KBBQ restaurants in MoCo, Nova and DC, Firepan is a solid contender for best in show. My group was impressed not only with the quality of meats they use, but the selection was also robust enough to keep is happily munching away for the full 2 hour dinner duration. Highlights included the chadol brisket and the thin sliced pork belly which are staples for any KBBQ but when done right are amazing. The banchan and side items were also noteworthy. The kimchi was crisp and tart, the steamed egg was perfectly umami and the rice cakes were spicy and chewy as they should be. We opted for the most expensive all inclusive menu which included premium items such as bulgogi sushi and calamari which were tasty as well. Overall, if you're group of big eaters is in the mood for elevated AUCE KBBQ, Firepan has you covered!

I enjoyed the AYCE. Meat was delicious. I really enjoyed the firepan steak, soy garlic bulgolgi, spicy bulgolgi, brisket, and thinly sliced pork belly. The steamed egg was very good. The tofu stew was decent, lacking some punching flavor but it wasn't bad. Ask for some sesame oil to go with the soy garlic sauce and it will be perfect for on everything! The banchan was simple but good: Kim chi, radish, noodled radish and onions. I would def come back. We just parked at the Wayne garage and walked over. There's not a lot of spots otherwise, some metered parking out front and 2 reserved spots out back. Great service, very attentive. read more

We had a disappointing dinner at Firepan tonight. Although the Korean barbecue itself wasn't bad, the service was abysmal. We practically had to tackle the waiter to get him to bring us more meats for our at-table bbq grill. Nor were waters, rice or appetizers refilled. The poor service didn't stop them from adding a mandatory 20 percent gratuity to our bill. If you want authentic Korean barbecue skip this place and head straight to Annandale for Gogi Friends or one of the other restaurants there. In fact, the owner of this restaurant should force every one of his employees to go to Gogi Friends so they can learn how to provide good service. read more

Came here to try their AYCE KBBQ with some friends. During the weekday, it wasn't busy, so we got seated down very quickly. The place was spacious and housed a bunch of people if it was busy, it wouldn't be any problems. We got a few items for the meats and the steak was the best on the menu in my opinion. The meat wasn't nothing special for AYCE but it was unlimited. Service was great and our waitress was very helpful/tentative. read more

Met with a group of 8 for a dinner on Sunday night at Firepan; we heard this spot recently opened so we were excited to try the KBBQ. We had a reservation for 8pm and were seated immediately at 8 by their friendly staff - always a good sign there. However, we were seated at two 4- top tables with an aisle separating us. It was tough to enjoy dinner as a whole group and talk with everyone who was sitting (quite literally) at another table. The don't appear to have seating available for large groups. Odd seating arrangements aside, the interior is decorated well. A blue hue is cast throughout the interior which makes for cool lighting. The restaurant was incredibly clean and tidy - exactly what you'd expect from a new spot. Time to get to the food! There are two options for all you can eat KBBQ (both are on discount now for the soft opening special). One option was $27 and the other was $34 -- the higher option had 5ish additional meat options to choose from. Overall, I found the meats to be pretty underwhelming due to lack of seasoning and flavor. The two items that had the most flavor were the shrimp and the bulgogi (though the bulgogi was a bit too sweet for my liking). The ribeye steak was the best meat that my table enjoyed - adding their brown sauce and salt mixture to the steak made it a great bite. The portions of each round of meat are pretty large - at first I thought this was a good thing but it made trying various meats difficult. For example, I wanted the porkchop knowing my tablemates wouldn't eat very much of it and that left me ALOT of porkchop to eat. Yes, smaller portions means more orders/back and forth to tables but may help guests get more of what they like most. The waitstaff was very friendly, quick, and accommodating. One member of our party had some dietary restrictions; our waiter worked with us to properly prepare her food on clean grates and even charged her less for her meal since she wasn't able to indulge in the actual AYCE experience. Overall, a nice spot that has potential due to their nice new venue and awesome waitstaff. Hopefully preparation and flavor development of the meat improves overtime to help that final taste. read more

I was excited to see this place finally open! We came on a Friday night, so wasn't sure how busy it was. It seems like they still hadn't fully opened and are still in the "soft opening" mode. I'll admit the blue lights threw me off, the atmosphere felt a bit more like a club. We were seated right away and our server also came pretty quickly. The menu they said was a bit limited for now, so we ordered a couple different things. We got a pork and beef dish and both were pretty good! We weren't as knowledgeable as we hadn't been to a lot of Korean BBQ places before and our server was helpful in making sure everything was cooked right. One small thing was the plates, the way they were designed, they kept spinning around when you tried to pick up your food. Hoping that they're able to work out the new opening things and hope to be back! read more

My friends and I decided to go to their soft opening this past week. I visited their VA location a few years ago (also during their soft opening) and remembered it being okay. Their Silver Spring location was very spacious. The interior was decorated with blue neon lights. We went on a Wednesday evening and was quickly sat. We were impressed with their banchan. All the various kimchi dishes were delicious! They also had a salad which was eh; we didn't really end up eating it. We decided to opt for the Option B all you can eat menu. We started off with the brisket...which was extremely disappointing. The meat was so dry and rough. It was my least favorite of the night. We also ordered the belly beef rib, pork belly (okay as well), calamari, marinated shrimp, and rib eye. The favorite of the night was the belly beef rib. We also tried the olive steak which wasn't too bad. Onto more of the sides. The corn cheese..you guys we were so upset! The corn tasted a bit undercooked and lacked seasoning. Usually corn cheese has a bit of kewpie Mayo and butter. This was just cheese and bland corn. Do not recommend. The spicy tofu soup and the soybean paste soup were both part of the AYCE menu. Both of these just didn't taste right. The spicy tofu soup was heavy on chili oil and was watery. The soybean paste soup lacked soybean flavor and had a very fishy taste. We did enjoy the steamed egg though. I want to give the benefit of the doubt to our server since the restaurant was still pretty new. But it seemed like he lacked knowledge in cooking meats. Rather than letting it cook, our server kept moving the meats when it wasn't ready. Causing the meat to tear and break apart. We ended up just cooking the meat ourselves. I really wanted to give Firepan another try but the meat quality did not meet my expectations. Needless to say, I was very disappointed with my visit. My read more

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.

The menu has shrunk significantly and what's left doesn't justify the price point. $20 for deviled eggs? And nearly everything is paired with grits, which is interesting for a restaurant billing itself as African and Asian fusion. I brought a Nigerian friend along and we were both equally confused by that creative direction. Safe to say grits aren't exactly a staple. We were told about off-menu options tomahawk, ribeye (out of stock), and branzino. We went with the branzino and a potato hash that turned out to be exactly what it sounds like: cut up potatoes and what tasted like powdered eggs straight from a hotel breakfast buffet. The branzino needed salt, pepper AND hot sauce to get there, that's not a seasoning preference.. The ambience and decor remain the highlight genuinely a beautiful space. But a pretty room can only carry so much. I wanted to love this place. I really did. But I don't think a third visit is in the cards.

I had the tofu bowl with rice, lettuce, onions, eggs, cheese and broccoli with black beans. YUMMY!!! So here's some background information because I have never heard of this place before: Bibibop has been described as "an Asian take on Chipotle."

Casual eatery providing customized bowls, rice and salads along with a selection of Asian-inspired toppings. mixed rice Bibimbap meana (mixed rice), sometimes romanised as bi bim bap or bi bim bop, is a Korean rice dish...

I guess this is how I know FoodTok has officially reached the mainstream, because I'm seeing more and more staged scenarios and dubious opinions.

For those of us familiar with traditional ethnic Chinese food, a menu written in Chinese is a good sign. They have traditional Taiwanese and Chinese food like scallion pancakes, sesame balls, beef noodle soup, soup dumplings, etc... Very good variety and there appears to be something for everyone, possibly with the exception of vegan dishes.. - Quality. Pretty good. Their scallion pancake was soft, not too oily, and not too salty. I prefer the scallion pancake to have been a bit more thick and flaky, but that's my personal preference. To be fair, still delicious. Their chive and pork dumplings definitely had a delicious chive flavor. Substantial and the wrapper was not too thick. Their spicy sesame paste tofu had a good flavor and substantive. The chili oil wontons were not too spicy and had a good flavor. Again, my personal preference would have been for the dumplings to have been more substantive, but still pretty decent. - Service. Pretty good. It appears most, if not all their staffers, speak Chinese (Mandarin), which was also helpful, because I specifically ordered in Chinese. I asked them about the spice level, because I wanted to ensure it would not be too spicy for my friend. - Price. Pretty good value for menu and portions. - Location. It's pretty easy to find. Also within convenient walking distance to the Silver Spring metro. The inside space is pretty good. Tables can seat a minimum of 2, all the way up to 8. What's Not - Quality. The sesame balls are smaller than I expected. They're the rough approximation of a ping pong ball, maybe smaller. I was disappointed, because I like sesame balls that are substantial. - Service. I specifically asked for soup spoons, because we were eating dumplings. Instead, they gave me regular spoons. Not all the dishes come out in the order you hope. For example, main dishes may come out before the appetizers. This is going to be dependent on your personal preference. - Parking. There is parking near the restaurant, but it's going to be dependent on the day and time. Final Answer Worth coming back.

I recently had the absolute pleasure of dining at Firepan Korean BBQ, and let me tell you, it was an experience like no other. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for an unforgettable culinary journey. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Korean BBQ experience. Each table is equipped with its own built-in grill, where you have the opportunity to cook an array of mouthwatering meats and vegetables to perfection right at your table. The selection of meats was exceptional, featuring top-quality cuts like marinated bulgogi, succulent pork belly, and tender beef short ribs. But it wasn't just the food that impressed me--it was the impeccable service and attention to detail that truly set Firepan Korean BBQ apart. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. From guiding us through the menu to expertly assisting with the grilling process, they were friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. And let's not forget about the flavors! Each bite was bursting with authentic Korean flavors, perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. The marinades were rich and flavorful, while the meats were tender and juicy--truly a feast for the senses. Some of the meats were over cooked, but its easy to burn them if you don't take them off to your desired taste. And with all you can eat, it is clearly replaceable. In addition to the BBQ, Firepan also offers a variety of traditional Korean dishes, including bibimbap, kimchi stew, and seafood pancakes, all of which were equally delicious and expertly prepared. Overall, my experience at Firepan Korean BBQ was nothing short of spectacular. Whether you're a BBQ aficionado or just looking to indulge in some incredible Korean cuisine, I cannot recommend Firepan highly enough. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! read more

The quality of food at the buffet bar is just unparalleled to any other AYCE Kbbq place with the variety of food as well. And the Kbbq and hotpot items were also soo good.

I'm not a fan of places where I have to cook my own food. They have a grill set up at the table but…read morethey expect you to cook your own food which is again not my thing, I guess that's part of the entertainment aspect of it There are certain aspects of the buffet that I really did like, papaya salad and pineapple rice. They also had king crab legs which I always love. I like some of their desserts as well, they put coconut sago which was a bit diluted. One of the more annoying aspects is when anyone had a birthday they would make a big loud celebration of it and it was really distracting. The meats are tasty when you cook them at the grill but again this is not my style of eating out when I go to eat out I want to relax and not have to cook There's plenty of parking in the street. No service issues. They also include lots of different drinks in the package. From a price standpoint I think it's okay overall I'm not in a rush to come back here

I stopped in here randomly because it was close to a work training, and it definitely did what I…read moreneeded it to do. I'm a fried rice lover, and this hit the spot. The only thing that threw me off was that I wasn't given the lunch specials menu when I sat down. I had already looked online and knew there was a lunch special, but I was only handed the regular menu. I had to ask about it, which was a little disappointing. That said, the server was friendly, and it seemed like she was handling the floor by herself, so I can understand things getting busy. Overall, the food was good, the fried rice satisfied the craving, and I'd stop by again if I'm in the area. Cute place as well. Also, love that the lunch stuff came with some dumplings

Seoul Kitchen and Bar is a little new to the area, but I'm worried about it becoming one of those hidden gems that doesn't quite make it. Service was great, food was fantastic, and there's plenty of space to hang out in large groups or small ones. I really enjoyed myself, and want this place to start popping off.

Chadol has become a regular spot in my rotation of restaurants. Since my initial visit years ago,…read morethe restaurant has really perfected its menu. Some of my favorites: - Brisket - Pork Jowl - Steamed Egg Custard - Fried Dumplings Chadol and its staff do a great job at servicing large parties. I have been reservations here several times and we are always seated right on time as long as the majority of our party has arrived. The staff consistently check on their tables, bringing extra water, ban chan, etc. as we ask/need it. This is a very family friendly restaurant, I love bringing my family here. If you have not given Chadol a chance, ignore my initial review and come experience for yourself the delicious food, relaxed atmosphere and wonderful staff :)

I've been wanting to try this kbbq place for awhile now since several of my friends recommended it…read moreand I finally got the chance to check it out and WOW this is officially my new go to place to get kbbq. Everything was great from the attentive service and staff to the quality of meat. I really like the fact that they have an a la carte option because personally I cannot do all you can eat since I get full pretty quickly lol. My cousin and I ordered one serving of the beef brisket and pork belly. The portions were generous and more than enough to fill us both up. I also love the ambiance of the place and unlike other kbbq places, it wasn't smokey and I didn't come out smelling like bbq :)

Food is good, broth is clean and very tasty not greasy and full of fish sauce to give it taste like other restaurants in the area do to mask the taste. Do yourself a favor and go there the name of the old spot is still on the building but it's a new restaurant named Narin Noodles you will definitely like the Pho.

My fav is their number one on the pho menu including all the meat cuts and tripe. Freshness is another thing about Narin, everything is super fresh. This place is not on the map yet, but I expect it will be soon. So excellent broth and fresh vegetables......what else does one need? The only awkward thing about this place is the seating arrangement... is 4x booths plastered against the wall with an aisle way on the side. But I'm not complaining, the pho is where it's at.

My lovely wife and I visited the restaurant on Friday, May 8th for an early Mother's Day dinner…read more This was our second visit. We tried three new dishes: Special Lo-Mien, Sweet and Sour Ribs and Scallion Pancakes. All were very good. The Lo-Mien was much lighter than you get from one of the many take outs in the area. The pancakes were not heavy but rather light. The ribs were very tasty. However, I would not get the ribs again, as they are small pieces, as opposed to a whole rib. Why? Because when I but them in my mouth, a couple of times a small piece of bone would break off, which made it more difficult to eat. I understand that this is so that you don't need to hold them, a knife, etc. The waiter not only recognized us but also boxed and bagged our leftovers for us. Great job!

I came on a weekday for lunch and had a positive experience. The fried whole fish in spicy bean…read moresauce was superb, and the stir-fried green beans with minced pork was solid. Peking duck was so-so, I've had better especially at the well known Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church, Virginia. But that place sets a very high bar for that delicacy. Service was alright, but it was a quiet weekday after 1 pm. Possibly not the best time to get a true sense of the quality of service. The tables, chairs and dining ware were definitely quality goods better than an average mid tier Chinese restaurant's, and the decor was bright and fairly aesthetically pleasing. There was one wall having paint job and/or wallpaper which may be inherited from the prior restaurant I suspect, and jt looks more Mediterranean than Chinese, making it feel a little strange. Maybe fusion East-West interior decoration is becoming a thing. Overall the atmosphere was very good including the rest room and the faucet and sink for handwashing between the two rest rooms.
