Bulgogi bowl
Chris P.

Very good! Tried for the first time, awesome service and portion sizes were insane! Definitely coming back to try other proteins.

Build a Rice Bowl
Jennifer J.

Been wanting to try this place out and the food was really yummy. My boyfriend got the kimchi rice bowl with bulgogi and it was delicious! I got the build a bowl with rice, bulgogi, kimchi, carrot, corn, cilantro, and green onions with the yum yum and ponzu sauce. Overall a yummy experience. Definitely a place to try if you're in the area and/or want something fresh and flavorful.

Purple rice bowl with beef bulgogi.

This places seems to be going downhill. The good did not sit well on my stomach last time at all. It's such a cute place but I'm thinning maybe they don't have enough business for steady food turnover

Came in to pick up a togo order for lunch, cute place! There was only one person there waiting for their order... I hope they get some business, or maybe it was a slower day. I had rice with cucumber salad, pork belly, scallions, fish cake, & a fried egg in top. It was delicious, I've never had purple rice before but it's pretty good. My friend had a beef bulgogi burrito, I did try it but I prefer the rice bowl, really just based on my taste preference. I will say there are generous amounts of protein in each one, they don't go overkill on the sides as make their portions look big. Portion size is great. For an online order we also appreciate they were able to accommodate our requests, putting the sour cream & poco in containers on the side. We actually got a free mandu as a promotion, those were good too with the ponzu sauce. The lady working was super nice, the place was clean, & they have fast service. Definitely drop by & give them a try.

Little Seoul is a Korean take on BYOB restaurants like Chipotle, Cava etc. It was my first time here, and the girl behind the counter was really sweet and helpful. I ended up getting the purple rice as my base and the bulgogi as my protein. You can choose 5 toppings; I went with the edamame, green onions, corn, radish, and cucumbers. Some of the ingredients didn't look the freshest, but that's a typical downside of BYOB places in lieu of convenience. (Everything still tasted good though). For sauces, I went with the employees recommendation of yum yum sauce and gochujang. Aside from the BYOB bar, they also have menu items to pick from. I decided to try the Budae Jjigae (Army Stew). I ordered it to go and was impressed by how neatly everything was packed. The noodles and cheese were put in a separate container from the soup to prevent them from getting over cooked and soggy. The aroma from both items I ordered smelled so good and tempting as I was driving home. It was delicious and comforting!

Casual clean place, we got the build your own bowls, we got Regular size and it was a lot of food do I'll probably get a Half size next time. Taste was more flavorful than the other Korean bowl places I've tried.

This was our second time here, I don't know why this place isn't busier. The food is great and the service is friendly and super fast. The portions are big and the prices are reasonable.

Bulgogi bowl
Romeo D.

The service was great. The person behind the counter helped explain the menu to me and gave me a detailed explanation of each item. This was probably the best part of my experience here. Friendly and helpful service can make or break a restaurant. The ambiance was unique and fun. The walls were painted with bright colors and the space between seating was more than adequate. There were well placed bar stools in front of the windows also. The food is where the wheels started to come off. I ordered a custom bowl with rice and bulgogi. Among my choices, I had regular kimchee, their version of oi-sobagi (cucumber kim chee), and some odeng (fish cake). Both Kim chee dishes had mild heat and acid with just enough flavor to make it passable as a kim chee. The odeng, although the right sponginess, didn't have much flavor to it at all. Those items I could deal with. The real issue for me was that both the bulgogi and rice were both very cold and almost flavorless. I'm unsure of the style of Korean inspired food but I'm accustomed to warm/hot meats and rice with cold sides that have spicy heat. I finished my food because it wasn't terrible; it was just bland.

First time trying this new to me spot out ! I took my niece Lexie. She's never had kimchi fries so that's what she ordered with spicy pork for the protein and it was delicious the fries were big wedge style ! I had a purple rice bowl with spicy chicken and got to add up to 5 toppings and two sauces!! We'll definitely be back to try other options next time. We also had great service and were greeted with a smile !!

Build Your Own - Salad Bowl & Spicy Pork
Belle R.

We received an advertisement in the mail for Little Seoul and I am so glad we did, otherwise we never would have known about this little gem! The shop is small and clean with some fun artwork on the walls. You go up to the end of the counter and can choose from their specials or build your own bowl. I enjoyed the build you own with noodle, pork belly, and other fun toppings. The worker helped guide me through my order, which I appreciated. All three of us polished off our food and I must say I am way too full! I'm looking forward to coming back!

Overall the food was okay but the protein portion was very small. There was way more rice than beef bulgogi.

Bon KBBQ is one of my family's favorite spots for Korean barbecue in the Arlington area. Lunch and…read moredinner are all you can eat, so the value is great for the amount of meat you get. The place is always full when we're there, but I haven't encountered a wait for seating yet. The interior is a little more casual than other kbbq places I've been to which makes it good for a less formal meal. The grills can be a little slow, but our servers were attentive and changed out the grill plates often to help with optimal cooking. The buffet offers a good selection of bonchon dishes and some preprepared meat options. Although the preprepared meats are good, they aren't as fresh so I'd highly recommend ordering from the grill menu to get the best quality meats!

I brought it to my waiter attended she at first was confused but then let me know that the steam table on the food wasn't working. So definitely decided to server cold food verses just have hot food in the back of house keeping the food hot and bringing it when requested. I paid $26 with tip to have an experience not worth the price. I was told when I was leaving not satisfied with my experience that the hot food is now hot I was told by the front desk lady!!! I was already there for an hour waiting. So I got screwed over on the experience. Please do better

I loved the fact that they brought a liter of cold water to the table. We ordered spicy chicken - of course! We had the Spicy Galbi and the Caribbean Spice (like jerk) - both 9 pieces. The orders came with refreshing little daikon pickles. It was a great deal of crunchy delicious juicy and messy Chicken! We had an interesting appetizer. So Ddeok So Ddeok, a sausage skewer. It was tasty and took the edge off before the chicken arrived. We also had the Corn Salad. Cold! Yummy! With great texture. Surprisingly good and perfect with spicy chicken. bb.q Chicken Mansfield was fun and quite the treat. There's plenty of parking lot parking and we had a comfy booth by the window. There's also big tables and chairs. Alcohol is served as well.

We went at 6 on a Sunday and it was not packed at all so we didn't have to wait to be seated which was great. Our waitress Emily gave us a quick rundown because we had people in our group who had never done Korean BBQ. Our first round of meat had a hair in it and she kind of ignored that and asked if we still wanted utensils then left. From there we had to flag down other waitresses/ and the manager Harry also came and took an order of meat at one point too. The meats were okay, but we've definitely had better. We tried a variety of meats like the bulgogi, brisket, pineapple steak, Gen steak, honey soy beef and garlic beef. They were all fine. When we were done with our grill, we told our waitress and she asked if we needed anything else... I guess we should have asked for the check because it was another 25 mins before we finally flagged someone down and asked if we could just pay at the front. We did in fact get up and do that, the hostess split our bill 4 ways when we asked for it to be in half. At this point the manager came up and he cancelled the first checks, split it correctly and then our waitress finally came up and asked where table 60 was (which was us). After being there for a few hours she had no idea what any of us looked like and that we were already in the process of paying, she asked her manager if we had skipped out on the check. It would have been easy to do if we weren't good people, but we indeed planned on paying, and were. The manager did apologize for the service we ended up getting as we explained some of the missteps throughout our time there. He was nice about it and apologetic for the hair. Other KBBQ spots offer a small ice cream scoop as a part of your meal, we kind of missed that here. The atmosphere was fine but the lights kept flickering on and off throughout the meal too which was kinda weird because it got very dark at times. Overall, the experience was just okay, but not something I would invite others to experience.
