The bulgogi bento lunch was amazing tender, flavorful beef with just the right balance of sweet and savory. The sides were fresh, the portions generous, and everything tasted homemade. Prices are fair for the quality and amount of food you get. A great local spot for a comforting, delicious meal. We'll definitely be back! read more

Food was average but the side dishes and kimchi were very below average. Kimchi and cucumber kimchi were overly sour and soft. Worst part was the additional 20% added on a bill without letting you know. Would not come again. read more

Korean Grill is a small Korean restaurant, nestled in the Springwood Shopping Center. They serve various apps (such as fried and steamed dumplings, shrimp tempura, etc.), charcoal BBQ, teriyaki, and rice & soup dishes. We came here for an early dinner, and we tried: +the Dduk Mandoo Guk - pork dumplings and rice cake in a beef broth; the staff let us know that they had run out of the beef shank, so there wouldn't be meat in there; the broth was thick and flavorful, but I just wished the soup came out piping hot +the Dol Sot Bibimbop - hot stone bowl with rice, bulgogi, veggies, and rice with the bibimbop sauce on the side; this was just okay; the rice was a little mushy, but the stone bowl was super hot that it made the rice crispy +and, the Galbi Gui - marinated beef short rib, that's cooked in the kitchen; this was our favorite, as the meat was tender and had a good charcoal taste to it The banchans were all fresh and very well-prepared. Service was very sweet and welcoming. There seems to be regulars who dine-in, and there were many who did call-aheads for to-go orders. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +Galbi Gui +friendly service +plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot +located in the Springwood Shopping Center read more

what an awesome experience... hospitality was excellent and her recommendation of the beef short rib was absolutely perfect... yes it's $40 for the entree but it was worth every cent... the dressing on the salad was one that I almost wanted to sip the last of it off of my plate but I'm not a complete Neanderthal... a wonderful quaint setting and this was my very first time dining there in the 16 years i've resided in Woodbridge... I'll definitely be back read more

I've been coming here since I was a kid & the food is consistently good every time. The place hasn't changed much lol! But it doesn't need to. IMO this really is the best Korean food in the Woodbridge area. It has a peaceful ambiance, it's clean, and the service is attentive, but not overbearingly so. If you're worried about price, consider coming at lunch time. They bring out banchan for every table, which I appreciate because I've been to a few korean restaurants that don't offer this. If you are brand spanking new, I'd recommended the bulgolgi or a bento box. I've seen some reviews mentioning how they won't let you in close to closing time but c'mon guys, that's just basic common courtesy and good for them being firm on their boundaries. They are probably tired like the rest of us!! Happy eating!! read more

I ordered takeout today from Korean Grill. When I went to pay a tip was forced on my check. I think this is bad faith business practice. I will no longer be returning to this place and will likely spend my money at the other korean bbq places that have popped up in the area. read more

The food is good but the waitress auto tips herself on the credit card. I think she tip herself approximately %25. I am going to think it twice before going. Or, if I go I will pay with cash rather than using my credit card. read more

Here's an update: Have been coming here for years, even during the pandemic. Was here to support the grandmother that was running this place and was inspired by her religion. It appears to have been taken over by her kids or other family which started to increase the cost of the foods which we accepted for many years more than doubling the prices from when we started. The food is still great, would love to still support the restaurant, but the sneaky extra charge on my togo order of an additional 10 to 20% of my bill is theft. I paid since we had ordered and was already there and did not want to go hungry. So as a man of principle I have stopped coming. If you want to charge more that's a business decision, price gauging and adding additional fees appears to be illegal. read more

IMPORTANT UPDATE 20% MANDATORY TIP - This is a new policy the establishment decided to implement while neglecting to mention it anywhere in their menu or a posted sign in their restaurant. You will enjoy a delicious meal, and that is the ONLY reason this review received 2 stars. Apparently the new policy is in place as a way to keep employees from quitting since they either weren't getting tipped enough or not at all - Which I don't see why patrons should be the ones to "pay" to keep workers at the restaurant when tipping in itself is NOT to be MANDATORY. The owners are kind but to force tipping 20% (regardless of party size) is not professional. read more

I've been here probably some ten plus times now, and am overdue to sing my praises for this spot. I drive from Madison to Woodbridge for day trips every now and then, and this is usually the go-to place to eat for us. It's small, usually very quiet, and the wait staff is always very attentive and kind. The menu is a nice size, not too big or small. The side dishes the food comes with is always delicious, I especially love the kimchi cucumbers. The japchae is generous and well seasoned, but in my experience my favorite items are the stews. The soondubu jigae is my favorite, it's always so flavorful and full of seafood. I've asked for the addition of zucchini to mine before, and they happily obliged. It's always a joy going to the Korean grill! read more

What a hidden gem I wished I've tried sooner! From the cute atmosphere once you step inside, to the quick and friendly service, everything was perfect and such a wonderful experience. The food? The best part! Authentic, delicious, prompt, and came out sizzling hot (literally). I'll look forward to many more visits here and adding this to my regular rotation. Don't sleep on this place and don't let the location fool you! It is worth your while 100%. read more

I just ordered delivery. There was not a huge serving of beef galbi, but still satisfactory!! Taste = Good! Presentation = looks great, but they pack there to-go food with so much of the drippings of the dish, it leaks. Rice could taste better if Jasmine! I would go back. read more

A HIDDEN GEM IN THE MIDDLE OF WOODBRIDGE Korean Grill has been in business for about 20 years. I didn't know about them until recently. Wow, a SOLID 5-Stars. Like always I will review this gem in terms of the Quality of Service and the Food. Service: This is a Mom and Pop restaurant, my favorite type, operated by the owner. Everybody in the restaurant are extremely friendly and very attentive to your needs. Can't say enough about how awesome they are. Ambiance: This is a traditional Korean restaurant. It is very Family oriented. Quiet, and you can feel an air of respect and traditions. The place is very clean and the "silverware" consist of traditional Korean Chopsticks and Spoon. For those of you who can't use chopsticks, they provide a fork. Hot tea is served in traditional Korean jade ceramic teapot and cups. Food: It is EXCELLENT Korean food. I have been in the Korean Grill multiple times since I discovered it. The first time I visited the restaurant, it was lunch time and I ordered a Beef Bulgogi bento box. For those unfamiliar with Korean food, Bulgogi is Korean dish made of thinly-sliced meat typically marinated in soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and pear. Some of my Korean friends would make Bulgogi with Pork, or Chicken. It was very good. When I had the first bite, I was immediately transported back to my days when I visited Seoul for work. The Bento Box came with three sides. One fried mandu guk (Korean Dumpling) that was incredible. I could have eaten a dozen. It also had a side serving of Japchae noodles. Japchae is a Korean noodle made from sweet potato starch and it can be served either cold or hot. In the Korean Grill Bento box the Japchae is served cold. Like I mentioned earlier I have visited the Korean Grill almost on a weekly basis and my goal is to try their entire menu. On my second visit, I went for dinner and ordered the Jaeyook Gui (means grilled marinated pork in Korean) for dinner. If you like spicy hot food, this is a good dish to try. I don't recommend asking them to be mild, because you will lose the flavor. It is served steaming hot, on a hot plate, with a side of steamed rice. You can also ask for a side for lettuce and make wraps by putting the Jaeyook Gui in the lettuce, wrap it and eat it. This is a common way of eating meat in Korea. If you want to try food from other cultures this is a great place to visit. OTHER REVIEWERS: I have a problem with people who through ignorance, or because they have an inferiority complex will give a business 1-star, because of small things. I believe the people who gave this restaurant a 1-Star are BULLIES. I hate Bullies so I am going to answer their concerns/complains in an update to this post. Yelp has a limit on the number of characters read more

My family and I love this place. The food and staff are amazing but a forced 20% tip is not reasonable. I always recommend the place because of the service and flavor but, what if someone has a bad day or is on a limited income? They may not want to tip or can't afford too. I always tip personally but I didn't like to see it forced. read more

Bottom line: This place is worth checking out, especially if you're in the Woodbridge/Dale City area. I've been here a few times for takeout, so I'd say it qualifies as my 'go-to' for Korean food in the area. The portions are big, the service is always nice, and there is plenty of parking. Although there are other Korean BBQ places in the area, some don't offer take-out because they're all you can eat, or the quality and/or service just isn't there. In my opinion, this place has the market cornered on cost, quality, and service - the tranquil atmosphere is just an added bonus. read more

Ordered takeout but the vibe inside the restaurant was very home-y and authentic, like you know your food is about to be good. We ordered the fried dumplings, bulgogi, and galbi which came with the sides + rice. It was enough for 2 people and flavor wise was really good. Could've been better if there as a dipping sauce for the meat. Would try this place again! read more

Not a fan of them forcing a tip on the check, the owner wrote the tip in and charged it to the card as if she was entitled to it. The service was great, would have tipped anyway, why make it weird... will never return to this place and do not recommend it. read more

Korean Grill [KG]. (3 stars). Me: I want Wang Galbi. Friend: Don't they have legit Korean Restaurants there? Me: No!!!!!!! Friend: You're just spoiled & used to eating in Korea. Me: YOU ARE DAMN RIGHT!!! KG is a typical sit down Korean restaurant that does offer some dishes that are not well known. For those who are not familiar... Galbi comes in 2 forms... Wang (butterfly w/rib bone) or LA (sliced). Koreans adore Wang Galbi because of its heartier & tender meat but LA Galbi is more affordable & easier to grill. I'm so behind on my reviews as I've visited KG on numerous occasions for months!... KG's version of Wang Galbi is very muted in flavor. Interesting since I was told they marinate their meats. Their Kimchi Jjigae is tolerable but muted as well. No robust anchovy or garlic flavors here... Tea is $3 per pot with unlimited HOT WATER REFILLS. Their Spicy BBQ Chicken is grilled nicely & flavorful. Probably the only item I would recommend currently. Banchan is on the blander side & you can't choose which items you want. I'm spoiled. I don't enjoy KG's Americanized banchan selection. They have lunch plates which are slightly cheaper but nothing I would highly recommend. Average fare. Parking is available in a shared lot. As a Korean who has travelled & enjoyed my way through almost all provinces of SOUTH Korea... KG is OK but definitely not what I crave. I wish KG well. read more

From the moment I pulled up this place did not seem like much, but when I walked in, it told a completely different story. For starters, it was very clean and staff were very friendly. I had the beef short ribs meal and I cannot explain just how good it was. They brought out a set of lettuce, bean sprouts, miso soup, kimchi, and a few other vegetables as an appetizer. The main course came out on this plate that was still sizzling with the most tender meat you could imagine. Everything I had was priced just under $30. Considering everything I had. I think this is a pretty good deal. I will definitely be back here before I leave and I highly recommend you do the same! read more

Korean Grill is a bit of a "hole in the wall" in an unassuming shopping center. The food is tasty and on par with peer small, family-run establishments. Overall, it is no-frills and has on-point Korean favorites. Visited for lunch in December 2020; there were a few others guests dining in, which was a good sign. We split the tempura shrimp appetizer, which were a bit over-breaded and just OK. I had the Galbi (spare ribs) lunch special, and it did not disappoint. The server brought plenty of gochujang (Korean chili paste and my favorite hot sauce). Note: Due to COVID-19 spacing and/or lack of demand, the same server is the only person helping the front of the house, including handling takeout orders/payments, phone calls, running to and fro assisting dine-in guests, etc. While dining in, this led to a some understandable service delays. That said, our overall service was friendly. They are taking COVID-19 seriously: some dine-in tables were blocked off, and there was hand sanitizer at the entryway for takeout orders. read more

I must say that the food was well-cooked on the grill and also served freshly hot with steam still flowing from the cast iron skillet. Our waitress was very attentive to our needs and kept coming back to check up on us. *** If you are Korean and are a Christian, they also hold Sunday service here.*** Must ask staff member for details. I highly recommend this place! read more

Love this place!! Our new fav Korean restaurant, the best we've been in Woodbridge/Dumfries area. The staff are very nice and helpful. Restaurant is small so it could get really packed, not sure if they take reservations. We're lucky that every time we go it's just right before it gets crowded, food is amazing! Definitely check it out! read more

Never again! Impression serves as a lot when you see a restaurant. Not ever having eaten here I was taking a huge chance off of reviews and looks/impression. 1- the outside look of the establishment looked bootleg and non inviting. However some hole in the walls places have some of the best food. Not this place! It was dull and just outdated. Their furniture could use some updating. The cloth chairs were dirty in my opinion. 2-the waitress who took the order was nice 3- The prices were a bit high. I was like I can get two meals chick fil a for the price of one meal from here and I know it's going to taste good with good service! 4-the meal was beef bulgogi. I had a To-go order so I didn't see the food until I arrived home. It was only rice and beef literally. No sauce just some dry ass beef and sticky rice. Not what I expected. I had to make my own sauce at home. 5- the meat smelt burnt and also tasted burnt. Not much flavor and very much not worth it for $22 plus tax! Beef Bulgogi read more

I'm completely obsessed with this place ....they have the best Bulgogi I've ever tasted and I've been too a lot of Korean grills!!!

Fantastic service super nice people and delicious authentic Korean food. The kimchi is so good I took an order to go!

Open during COVID. taking safety measures seriously, reservations only for dine in -- call ahead at the number posted on Yelp. So many protective barriers between the tables. This place is AMAZING!! Super hole in the wall, the food is fantastic and they have an amazing selection. We got the dumplings and bibimbap. Highly, highly recommend! The food was amazing and there was so much food I was able to have it for lunch again the next day. Absolutely love it. Call ahead, availability is tight! read more

I would say this is the second or third best Korean food in Woodbridge. It isn't my favorite, but it's not bad. The (kimchi jjigae) is pretty good, a little on the spicier side versus sour. There was a lot of added gochu garoo (red pepper flakes) that weren't from the kimchi itself. The side dishes were just okay. The radish was great but the , spicy cucumber was super vinegary rather then it's typical spice. The (bean sprout) didn't look that fresh. They said I could order the jjigae with out meat, but I still found a piece, bummer. Could've been worse. read more

Korean Grill - Kimchi jjigae - Korean Near Me - Woodbridge, Virginia

Small unusual Korean eatery in a strip mall setting. I've only stopped here for lunch, but the food has been consistently good. My usual dish is bulgogi, served plain with a side of rice and some side dishes. Very traditional sides, kimchi, and pickled vegetables. Nothing fancy or interesting, but still good. I like that the meat on the plate is not served with too much sauce pooling. The facility is nice and clean. Pleasant decor and friendly service make for an overall good experience. Based on other reviews, I think I need to come over with the family for dinner or something because the big meal sounds so good. Unfortunately, I'm out of the local area, but I recommend it to anyone passing through. read more
