    look at all that delish meat!
    Hannah M.

    This is such an amazing restaurant and dare I say my favorite restaurant in DC! The food is AMAZING, steak melts in your mouth, service is spectacular and the attention to detail is top notch! The restaurant is also very pretty on the inside.

    This was my first time visiting the D.C. location, and my husband and I were ecstatic to try it since we both are huge fans of their Tysons spot! It is definitely one of the fancier Korean restaurants int he DMV area. From start to finish, the service was top notch and the food was absolutely delicious! We visited on a Friday and took advantage of the Restaurant Week menu, which was an excellent value at $65 a person. I particularly enjoyed their grilled asparagus, makguksu, and soybean paste soup. The makguksu isn't too spicy and the broth complements the noodles perfectly. The soybean paste soup is always packed with plenty of fresh ingredients and tofu! A special shout out to our service Jimmy, who was wonderful throughout the night. He was incredibly mindful and attentive, making sure to cook my meat well done since I am currently pregnant.

    Experience was a 4, food overall was a 3.5. Food: very good options for price, it's about 80$ for a large quantity of food. They give you good cuts of meats, apps, hot meals and side dishes. The hot meals were lacking and there was really only one that was shareable (a beef fried rice). The other 2 options were cold dishes or a soup. Service: it was evident that our waiter was brand new so the service wasn't the best. We ordered an expensive white wine that came at room temperature. Drinks: not much uniqueness to the cocktails. Sake was good.

    Had a really good experience here. The service was really good. They cooked all the meats for you to temperature. Everything tasted really good. Only negative was the price but I think for the quality it was good though I was skeptical it would be.

    Really legit. The best Korean food in the District. We've been to the Tyson's location, so we had a high bar, but this location is just as great and SO much more convenient for us. We did the lunch pre fixe and everything was just SO tasty! We chose the jjampong and the doenjang jiggae as our savory meals. Both were so good and so flavorful! I was surprised how large the jjampong was. Also the kimchi was really legit here too. The meat was all so tender and cooked perfectly (we request medium rare). We also added the ssam side for lettuce leaves to wrap the meat in. Finished with fruit and an iced americano! Can't ask for more. I was totally full and really happy about having a new great Korean restaurant in the area. I would come here just for the jjampong if I didn't want to go for the whole bbq meats thing.

    I had an awesome, elevated Korean bbq experience, arguably one of the best in DC proper. Walked in on a Wednesday night and had no problem getting seated. The two of us shared one app, one hot entree, one side, and one meat. All were phenomenal, but highlights were the beef fried rice and asparagus. The staff grills your meat for you (a nice touch), and are overall very friendly! The space is stunning, and the meal was very reasonably priced. It's a comfortable space for a group too. Highly recommend!!

    The service here is unmatched! Everyone is so kind and goes out of their way to make the experience special. The menu offerings are expensive, but you can do the a la carte option to be more price friendly. The meat was the most tender and delicious I have ever had!! Perfect date night vibes and atmosphere.

    I have been a fan of Ingle's Virginia location since 2023. If fine dining and Korean BBQ was a thing, Ingle would be a fitting description. Ingle is one of my favorite places to go for some good quality meats and Korean inspired dishes. The service, the quality of food, ambiance, attention to detail and knowledge base of all staff members are on a different level compared to your average restaurant. I came on a Friday evening to take advantage of the restaurant week menu. The dinner prix fixe ($65/person) was an excellent value. Although it is not the most filling as many AYCE places, the quality and aforementioned aspects of this establishment outweigh the cost basis. The starter was a pumpkin porridge which is a very familiar dish that I grew up on. If you grow up in a Korean household, you probably developed your own taste and particularities about your pumpkin porridge. The one served here was a bit sweet and too grainy for me. I could taste and feel the glutinous rice grains. The scallion pancake had a good crisp and it did not have too much batter on it which I liked. It went well with the sauce provided. The meats on the menu was tri-tip, hanger steak, galbi and marinated zabuton. All meats were cooked by our server perfectly. The quality was very good and paired well with each of the condiments. My advice is to eat the unmarinated meats with just salt and a hint of wasabi. The grilled asparagus had a great flavor, but I wish it had the asparagus tips included and not just the stalk. The makguksu was not too spicy and was refreshing. The noodles had a good bouncy texture. the misutgaru tiramisu was very very thick but had a good roasted grains flavor. Jimmy was my server and he did an excellent job taking care of me and my wife while attending to several other tables and bigger groups. There is a parking garage nearby and some street parking options nearby. I was able to find street parking a block away. A very good addition to the U street corridor food scene. There is no particular dress code, but it is somewhat of an upscale and luxury experience so go at your own discretion.

    This is probably the best KBBQ I've ever had. The meat was amazing and cooked perfectly by our server at our table. All four cuts were delicious and there wasn't one I wouldn't eat again. The appetizers were also good (especially the toast with roe) but nothing can beat the all waygu meat. The beef fried rice was also delicious, and reheated wonderfully at home for lunch the next day. We did the price fixe and it was a generous amount of food (that I would do again). The restaurant was beautiful, the staff friendly and helpful, and the food delicious. Plus, you can't beat the convenient location right on 14 street downtown--so glad it opened. Will definitely be back!

    ingle was not just a korean bbq spot, it's an experience. we went with the prefix dinner course and when i say everything was so good i am not exaggerating, i believe you can't go wrong with whatever you order. here's what i personally loved: + haemul pajeon (seafood pancake) you must order this. + makguksu, the perfect noodle dish to complement the meat + cod roe toast + tiramisu (best dessert out of the three) ingle has earned its place as one of my favorite korean steakhouses in the DMV. please check them out. i would love to come back and see it as a perfect celebration dinner spot.

    Not gonna lie, I can be a tough critic of Korean restaurants (and particularly higher-end spots) as a resident of Queens, NY and a frequent traveler to Korea. I read the positive reviews of Ingle, but I still had a healthy level of skepticism when entering the establishment. I was there for a family dinner with my husband, brother, and extended family while in town for the holidays, and I can say that we all left feeling full, satisfied, and impressed. The restaurant itself if beautiful. It has a really modern, clean aesthetic with some updated takes on traditional Korean artwork and decor. The service was fantastic. Our server was extremely patient, attentive, friendly, and unflappable. We had the tasting menu and loved everything. The jeon was so delicious with the crab meat and panko for added crunch. The yukhwe was also a stand out. Really fresh and well seasoned. The meats were visually stunning and also tender and flavorful. I had the jjampong as my entree, and it was on point--full of seafood and perfectly cooked noodles. The modern desserts were also a nice touch: frozen sujungwha, misugaru tiramisu, bingsu....definitely unique and well executed. I would definitely recommend this place to others looking for a modern, more upscale Korean dining experience. It did not disappoint, and I hope to return someday soon.

    the beautiful mother-of-pearl artwork

    A truly fail-proof Korean steakhouse -- one of the best you can find in the U.S. In the DC area, it's rare to find a Korean restaurant you can confidently recommend to anyone, which makes Ingle Korean Steakhouse especially refreshing and something to be proud of. The quality of the meat is outstanding, making it a place you can take anyone without hesitation. What sets Ingle apart is not just the food, but the space. Sitting at the bar, the beautiful mother-of-pearl artwork immediately draws your attention, perfectly blending traditional Korean aesthetics with modern sophistication. Unlike the Vienna location, this location also offers private dining rooms, making it an excellent choice for intimate gatherings and private events. Most of all, you can feel the owner's thoughtfulness and dedication in every detail -- from the cuisine to the atmosphere. Ingle is more than a Korean steakhouse; it's a restaurant I'm genuinely proud to introduce in the U.S.

    Visiting DC and swung by this establishment for dinner with a group of friends…read more Overall enjoyable, but there are definitely some items which are hits and other misses. Before getting to the food, I'll first rate the interior excellent. It's big and open, and has a modern yet rustic design, which makes it an excellent atmosphere. They had an impressive list of wines and cocktails, but the draft beer selection was limited. Could use a bit more variety on tap, but I enjoyed the Imperial IPA nonetheless. As for the food; all of it was on the pricey sized given the quality and quantity served, but the salmon collar was by far my favorite -- followed by the chicken, although the chicken was a bit less meaty than I expected. The gem salad, the carrots and the steak fries were all very "meh," and the bisques seemed like small ciabatta buns rather than actual biscuits. All that aside, the biggest disappointment was unfortunately the ax ribeye - it wasn't cooked properly (despite asking for med-rate, depending on the bite, it ranged from medium to very rare), and it was really stringy and fatty - a major disappointment for a steakhouse. Deserts were delicious, I really enjoyed the ice cream cake and thought the peanut butter pie was good. Service was great, prompt and friendly. So I definitely wouldn't recommend this place as a statehouse based on my experience, but would consider coming for the salmon.

Everett was friendly and made great drinks! We got seated downstairs. It was noticeablely warm and we mentioned it to the manager. They said they were working on it but it never got any cooler. Restaurant Week was extended so we were able to take advantage of that. It was a good deal with upcharges for bigger cuts of steak. The sides are not included but they're large enough to share. I got the 6 oz filet, medium and it was perfect. The warm butter cake was delicious. The pomegranate martini with the dry ice added for dramatic effect was a popular cocktail at our table.

    The food was very good, but the service was extremely disappointing, especially for a birthday…read moredinner at a restaurant of this quality. Our server was noticeably inattentive. At one point, he came to our table and explained that there were other people celebrating their birthdays and that he was busy attending to them. I understand that restaurants get busy, but telling a customer that other birthday celebrations are taking priority is not appropriate. He knew it was my birthday as well and even apologized for "ruining" it by mentioning this. It was an incredibly strange way to address his lack of attentiveness. When our food arrived, the server did not promptly come to plate our food. We eventually plated it ourselves, and only afterward did he come over and say that he had been planning to come plate it for us. At that point, the service had already been missed. There were also multiple staff members assisting with service, which made the lack of coordination even more noticeable. The kitchen was quite slow as well, and the garlic mashed potatoes were cold by the time we were eating our steaks. There were also clumps of mashed potatoes left on the table, which our server picked up with his bare hands. These may sound like small details individually, but together they made the service feel surprisingly ordinary for the setting. The food itself was the highlight. The filet was very well seasoned, the garlic mashed potatoes were excellent despite the temperature issue, and the signature warm butter cake with ice cream was phenomenal. My dining companion said his filet was the best filet he had ever had. I also found the dress-code enforcement somewhat inconsistent. I had made an effort to dress appropriately for the occasion, and my dining companion did as well, but I noticed another guest being admitted in denim shorts. My dining companion independently commented on how people were dressed, so this wasn't something I was looking for--it was simply noticeable. Ultimately, I would return for the food, but I hope the service is substantially better next time. This was my birthday dinner, and unfortunately the service did not make the occasion feel particularly special.

    Ocean Prime: How Tiana Turned a High‑End Dinner Into a Full‑Blown Culinary Adventure…read more Takeaway: The food was outstanding. The private room was beautiful. But Tiana? She elevated the entire night like she had a PhD in hospitality and a minor in mind‑reading. The 73rd Birthday Mission We needed the perfect steakhouse for a 73rd birthday celebration -- something upscale, polished, and worthy of a family‑and‑friends get‑together. Ocean Prime was the unanimous choice. Ten of us, private dining room, big night ahead. My wife and I pulled up to valet at the same time as another couple. The valet attendant greeted us like he'd been waiting all day just for us. He even parked our cars together right in front -- a small touch, but it set the tone. We walked inside, talked to the hostess, and then...the night changed. Enter Tiana -- The Greatest Waitress I've Ever Had A few minutes later, a woman approached with the biggest, warmest, most welcoming smile I've ever seen in a restaurant. She introduced herself: "Hi, I'm Tiana. I'll be taking care of you tonight." Not serving us.Not waiting on us.Taking care of us. That's when I knew we were in good hands. She walked the four of us to the private dining room, gave us time to settle, then introduced the wine and drink menu. And then she did something I've never seen done at a table of ten: She asked for everyone's names. All ten. And remembered them. All night. Not once did she slip.Not once did she say "sir" or "ma'am."She addressed every person by name like she'd known us for years. That alone elevated the experience -- but she wasn't done. The Drinks: A Masterclass in Descriptions Before taking drink orders, she told us: "If there's something you want that's not on the menu, I'll check with the Chef." Who does that?Tiana does. She recommended the Berries & Bubbles to a few of us and described the Smoked Old Fashioned like she was narrating a food documentary. I went with my classic: a White Russian . Drinks arrived. Everyone was happy. The Food: Ocean Prime Doing What Ocean Prime Does Orders included: Grilled Oysters Lobster Linguine Creamed Spinach Deviled Eggs Rack of Lamb Parmesan Truffle Fries New York Strip Ribeye with Oscar Style Dynamite Roll Kid's Crabcake Brussels Sprouts Parmesan Broccolini Loaded Baked Potatoes Bread Service Everything was beautifully plated and tasted outstanding.The Parmesan Truffle Fries?Some of the best any of us had ever had. One steak came out well‑done instead of medium -- corrected immediately, no hesitation. I sampled the sides around the table. Every single one was a hit. I asked the group how their meals were -- nothing but smiles and nods. Dessert: Tiana's Final Touch When dessert time hit, Tiana went into full celebration mode. She surprised the birthday guest with two desserts: Ten‑Layer Carrot Cake Warm Butter Cake with Ice Cream And "Happy Birthday" written on the plate He lit up like a kid. I ordered the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie -- I enjoyed it, but everyone else at the table loved it. The Carrot Cake was good, but the Butter Cake?Outstanding. Worth the hype. Final Verdict Ocean Prime already delivers a high‑end dining experience -- but Tiana transformed it into an unforgettable culinary adventure. Her professionalism, warmth, attention to detail, and ability to remember ten names without missing a beat made the night feel personal, special, and elevated. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. And yes -- I will be requesting Tiana again.
