We've tried their prix fixe menus for both lunch and dinner and have always had a great experience! Their meat selection is excellent, and I especially appreciated how mindful they were about cooking my meat well done when they saw that I was pregnant. The staff is always professional, attentive, and friendly. The service feels very polished. I also the variety of options on their entree menu. I always order the soybean paste soup, which is so flavorful, and the makguksu is refreshing and one of my husband's favorites. For dessert, I always order the bingsoo. It does cost extra, but it's definitely worth it! The ambiance is modern and upscale while still feeling warm! We've enjoyed every visit and always look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!

If you're Korean, and you're looking for the traditional affair, this is not it. I'd take a client or friends here who aren't Korean. It's catered more towards non-Koreans IMO. They're selling this as an upscale spot and while the quality of meat is pretty darn good, you have to ask for lettuce and garlic - the two items always present at a traditional k bbq. It kind of sh*ts on the tradition by doing that. Why not provide that to give the full experience we all expect? I love luxury dining as much as anyone else but this was a colossal waste of money. I come to this shopping center multiple times a week since I live in McLean and almost always miss that this exists. They also have barstools outside facing the bar indoors but it's just so awkward. The sidewalk of this area is not built for that! Great idea (usually), but terrible execution. There's so many Korean bbq places nearby. I'm glad I tried this place to kill my curiosity of what they do different. Again, great spot if you want in bbq in a more upscale atmosphere, but it's more or less "fusion," and I'd be good with a business dinner here. Service was impeccable though. I appreciated the promptness in attending to our needs. The savory dishes btw- the dwenjangjiggae is awful. Lacks depth, flavor, and just overall was very meh. The other items (and we had all 5) were just fine. Nothing to sing home about.

Service was great and were seated right away. The ambiance is good, it was a bit noisy since it was busy, but that just shows how popular it is among the locals. It's served with purple rice and lots of banchan, and the Yukgaejang has lots of meat, tastes authentic, rich, hearty, and full of flavor. Truly comforting and satisfying. If you're craving authentic Korean homestyle dishes, this spot is a must-visit!

Our helpful waitress did all of the cooking. As it got busier, we did have to wait a bit for our desserts and check. But overall will come back.

Unfortunately, especially as a regular diner at Korean barbeque/Japanese yakiniku restaurants at a similar price point of ~$50-150pp, I can't say that I was satisfied. When it came to taste, Seoul Prime felt very average. From the get-go, the raw Hanger Steak came out as cuts of irregular cubic chunks rather than the typically thinner slices. The meat itself was not stellar, even though it was tender. Pieces of fat were left on and it didn't seem like much of anything was really seasoned (and this is coming from someone who eats on the blander side). I expected the Marinated Rib Finger to be the most flavorful, but even that did not taste very marinated. At similar restaurants, the taste of the steak alone with maybe a dash of salt or wasabi is enough to carry the meal without much need for any other sauce. Here, I felt like I needed to save my steak with ssamjang, which tasted alright. Additionally, I would've liked a more traditional sesame oil-based sauce over the mustard, but that's personal preference. With this, the available sauces did not help make the steak any better. The sides we ordered (Soybean Brisket Stew & Volcano Egg Souffle) were average; there are definitely places in the area that do better on the sides department alone. From the ambiance to pricing of Seoul Prime, it's clear that the restaurant aims to present itself as a more upscale KBBQ experience compared to the many more casual KBBQ restaurants in the area. From dropping my fork off my plate when serving meat to continuously mentioning that they are new and conversing about all things not steak--our server's banter and visible lack of experience did not match the experience Seoul Prime seeks to give, even if they were really friendly. They also left our Marinated Rib Finger on for too long at the end, which definitely burnt due to the marinade. With the abundance of KBBQ restaurants in NoVa, I'm not sure I'd return.

It is a small place, but the meats are fresh and tender. We had the bulgogi, galbi, and pork ribs and they were all delicious. Our favorite meat is the marinated rib tips. It has the best flavor when grilled. This restaurant is the best Korean barbecue in Northern Virginia. We like it better than all the other Korean BBQ places because the marinade is excellent and the place is smaller than most places , but service is good. They prefer to grill everything for you. We will definitely come back and refer others. They do not take reservations. You need to come get on the waitlist and wait...most of the time it's over an hour long. They will call you when your table is close to being ready. Highly recommend getting the marinated bulgogi and a marinated rib tips they are super flavorful!

The meat-based soup brought our spirits back after a tough training session for me and my friend. We both got galbitang. It was so good. I also recommend the fried dumplings. The decor is pretty simple. There's a few private tables away from the main arrangement of tables. There are about 5 parking spots right outside. If you cannot get a spot, you'll have to drive past this building to a bigger parking lot by the other shops and walk back here. Not a big deal. Takeaway: the portion is giant. If you don't eat a lot, share one. Soup is 5/5 flavorful AF.

What a pleasant surprise to have fresh sliced ginger rather than pink jarred ginger with all the preservatives. The Food was absolutely AMAZING! It was very fresh! The PRESENTATION was AMAZING! I wouldn't hesitate to eat here again. When we first arrived we were brought a bowl of seaweed salad and freshly steamed edamame to share at the table. We also enjoyed a small bowl of corn soup. My friend and I shared the Salmon Carpaccio appetizer. We both had a Tysons Combo. I had the yellowtail and my friend had the salmon. The yummy house-made soy saw was not as salty as a traditional processed soy sauce. We chose Cafe île, since it was near our hotel in Tysons before our trek home to the valley. We arrived at a very strange time. It was 3 pm on a Sunday over Labor Day weekend. The bathrooms were clean so I am assuming the kitchen is too. The restaurant itself had piles of crumbs around. It was quite dirty. Hopefully they were in the middle of sweeping and cleaning up the dining room. We can't wait to come back!!

Well,you got my vote and my loyalty. Place itself is not impressive and service is nice,but not superb. So,I thought on 4 stars,but this food... Wasabi - made in the house,soy sauce- made in the house by chef recipes. Soy sauce is home made!!!! Thick ,complex,tangy and not salty,amazing!!! I ordered sashimi combo this time and it's served with not white lousy rice,but takikomi gohan( please try it). This is one of the most complex flavor combinations in rice I ever had. I felt dashi broth,mirin,tons of veggies and even beans. Sooo nicely served with fish cake flowers on top. Sashimi itself was outstanding,fish selection was excellent,with scallops,squid and freshest cuts of fishes. Previous times I tried rolls and it was amazing as well. So,prices are high, this is not sushi eatery where you can casually grab your lunch. But if you feel like you want artistic style and refined food,or just want to celebrate yourself,this one s the place to indulge and enjoy!
