We came for dinner on a Saturday night, and I was so impressed by this place. No wonder why it's called Meat Project... It quite literally felt like a meat factory when we stepped foot in the restaurant because of how busy and big the place was! I loved that there was an iPad where you can add yourself to the waitlist as soon as you walk in. It was very efficient. Even though we were on the waitlist, the wait time wasn't too terrible (about 30min), and we were able to get seated fairly fast because there are lots of seating options in the restaurant. The quality of the meat was amazing. My favorites were the brisket, thin slice pork, and spicy pork bulgogi. They also had seafood options in their menu, such as intestines! I loved their side dishes; they offered steamed egg, soybean soup, corn cheese, and salad. However, I was surprised that they didn't offer kimchi. The service was a bit disappointing. Our waiter was very forgetful and we had to remind him/request for certain foods several times. But overall, I loved the food here; I can safely say this is my new favorite KBBQ spot in NoVa and hope to come again sometime in the future! read more

Meat Project - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Tldr; It was a frustrating and disappointing experience and we will never go again. I was really excited to try this new kbbq restaurant but our server made the experience less than enjoyable. I wasn't sure if the music was too loud or the server couldn't understand us but it felt like he wasn't even listening. He asked if we've been here before and we said no, normally that prompts them to give the whole newcomer spiel but no. We asked if there was a time limit and he said "yes" so we had to prompt him again and then he said 90 minutes. We had to ask our server multiple times for anything (water, napkins, sauce). If we asked for 2 bowls of rice, he'll bring 3 bowls (granted there were 3 people in our party but this would have been the second round of rice and only 2 of the 3 wanted some) or we asked for the salad but no sauce and he brings us the salad with sauce. When we first sat down he brought us our sauce plates stacked on top of each other which made such a mess. And he'd throw the food on the table or grill and things would splash which made it an even bigger mess. There were so many little things that he would do that didn't follow what we wanted so it made the whole experience frustrating and annoying. Although the meat is marinated differently they all tasted the same or very similarly; there wasn't anything really distinguishable about the food. We'd ask for two different meats but he'd bring two of the same meat which made us have to order again. It was just a frustrating and disappointing experience and we will never go again. We won't even bother trying the Fairfax location because of this horrible experience. * review was also posted on Google read more

We were in the mood for some good Korean BBQ, and this place had good reviews so we decided to check it out. I put myself on the wait list through Yelp as they had said over the phone, but that did not seem to matter. When we arrived, the instructions were to check in with the host to notify them of our arrival. There was no host, and everyone would look over to the several people waiting and continued to walk past. This was definitely frustrating. Finally after 10 mins, an older lady just asked how many were in the party and seated us, did not even ask about the waitlist. Once seated we were shown a QR code to scan for the menu and were told 3 meats at a time and you only have 1.5 hours to dine. They however only bring out two meats at a time. The meats that we choose the whole dinner were, Golbi (shortribs) marinated chicken, grilled shrimp, spicy octopus, dry aged ribeye, honey butter calamari and spicy bulgogi. Everything was delicious, we even had 3 portions of the golbi and shrimp. However the dry aged ribeye was not to our liking. It was extremely tough to chew and the cut was thick and not tender. The peach soju was delicious and refreshing. For sides we got the steamed egg, the cheese corn and salad. All 3 were a great addition. Overall this place was great except for there being a lack of hostess. read more

Very yummy AYCE Korean bbq spot out in Centreville. I had previously tried So Korean bbq in Centreville and was not impressed, so I went into Meat Project with tempered expectations. The banchan were not a good start - very mid and in small quantities, while the potato salad was way too mayo-y. When it came to the meats though: Meat Project has the meats. Particularly of note: the brisket was super flavorful and delicious despite not having any visible marinade, the galbi came in tasty marinated slabs, and the grilled shrimp was good enough to make me confront my mild allergy to shrimp. Our server was also fantastic, constantly and promptly bringing us new orders of meat. Improve the banchan and this is a 5 Yelp star joint, especially at the $30 price point read more

Service was super fast. You get 90min to eat, but the staff was very attentive and efficient. We were full and done in 40min. There was a sizable selection of meats, and they were marinated well. There were a good amount of side dishes and salads available too. At the end of the meal, they give you a melona bar as dessert even though it's not on the menu. read more

Honestly became one of the top three places I like to go for AYCE KBBQ!! The meat was good. My favorite was the honey butter squid. My friends and I ordered multiples of that. They had yogurt soju and it went down so smooth, you would've thought it was just juice. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The price was very fair as well!! Definitely a place to go back for some good meat and amazing service. read more

Meat Project - Beef Brisket, Steamed Egg, Corn Cheese - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Love coming here! The wait can be long even if you make reservations ahead of time. The service is always good as they can come and cook the food for you, if you like. They've cut back on their sides - the corn cheese use to be a little bigger and they used to have japchae. It's better to go with a group of people to really get your money's worth. They also serve all sorts of drinks and alcohol and give you free ice cream at the end on your way out. read more

I love this place. They have variety of meats and seafood. Food always fresh. Price is reasonable and service is good but you just have to keep asking for side dish as they only brings you little bit a time. I also love their steam eggs but it's not very consistently cooked good each time. Someday is perfect, silky taste but someday is way overcooked. read more

This place was so good! Came with a group of friends the day after vday right at 5:30 so it wasn't crazy crowded at first (plus put our names on the waitlist via Yelp). The meat all seemed good quality extremely well marinated, and for $30 you cannot beat the selection! The only reason I am docking a point is because while the waitstaff was really nice, they were overwhelmed and short staffed so we ended up cooking most of the meat ourselves and had to ask for certain things a couple times before getting it. read more

For $30 I would 100% come back to this location. My friend and I came here for dinner. It was extremely packed with a long line, so make sure you join the waitlist on yelp. The ambiance was hip and fresh, wish some questionable music at times ranging from K-pop, Ballack eye peas, Kanye and 21savage (we loved it just thought it was funny) the quality of meat was really good in my opinion (better then the Qui in Chantilly). The only thing we didn't like was the spicy bulgogi because it was to spicy for us. Lots of choices, I would recommend going with a bigger group so you can try more meats. We thought the corn cheese, scallion salad, Korean potato salad and ghalbi meat was to die for!! Only negative was our waiter had a really sour mood the entire time, so I wish we had a different one. None the less we will 100% be back. read more

This is one of our FAVORITE places and one of the best Korean BBQ joints hands down. The servers are always so nice. Tonight we brought our 11 month old. We wanted some time together and didn't have anyone to care for our son but they were super accommodating. Shout out to Daniel for being so attentive. He was so so nice and we felt comfortable. The food was fantastic (the Hawaiian bulgogi is amazing). Highly recommend this place! read more

Can't beat the price. Other places are comparable but don't carry as many sides. I liked it. read more

Been wanting to check out this place for a while and finally had the chance today. As soon as you enter the building you are greeted by the host stand with Meat Project on the right and Coffee Project on the left. The interior is super hipster with these colorful ring chandeliers which is a first, really nice atmosphere. For the meats we tried the brisket, fresh porkbelly, miso porkbelly, red wine porkbelly, galbi, steak, and all three intestines. The brisket was classic and delicious, but the MISO PORKBELLY and red wine porkbelly were a MUST TRY!!! You can definitely taste the flavors and the miso porkbelly especially was so tender and marinated well. My friends really enjoyed the intestines which taste better when cooked crispy! The small round ones tasted like yummy pork skins. Our server Khoa was always on top of things. The other servers and bussers were also super helpful as well. Make sure you place an order for the cheese corn and steamed egg right away as it's made to order. The sides were so yummy, will definitely be back to try the rest of the menu! read more

Meat Project - Galbi and Red Wine Pork Belly - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

See all

$30 per person. Includes Galbi on the all you can eat menu. End of meal "dessert" is the Korean melon bar ice cream popsicle. Sooo good!! Customer service was great but they should switch out the grills more frequently. We got the galbi first and then miso pork belly. Instead of switching out the grill, they put the miso pork on the same one taking away from the true taste. It was basically miso galbi pork belly. They serve everything the other Korean bbq places do. They are very limited on side dishes though. So if you're a banchan (side dish) person, this might not be the place for you. Get here early cause they get busy starting at 5pm on the weekend. We walked in at 4:45pm on a Friday and by the time 5:30pm rolled around, the dining room was packed. Lol. read more

Everything is just weird during the pandemic. Kudos to all the small businesses including Meat Project for trying to have a sense of normalcy. We enjoyed our BBQ experience. Service was upfront and friendly. A slight wait to be seated due to staffing issues but that is ok. The AYCE is a great deal for $30/person under 90mins time limit. Drinks not included. read more

Meat Project - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Came back here with a friend and honestly I would still say this is one of my favorite places for AYCE KBBQ! It's $30 per person which I think is really good and my personal favorites were the Galbi ( so tender !) and the beef brisket! I also love how the side dishes are like personal sizes so you can get one for each person plus I am such a. Sucker for the steamed eggs so it's was perfect! I also love how spacious and clean the space is and our server was also very respectful and nice. Will definitely be back ! read more

We received attentive and amazing customer service! We were a group of 15 and were able to get seated relevantly quick around 5:50pm. We were worried because they don't make reservations but it worked out. The AYCE was worth the price ($30/person) and they had unlimited side dishes included! My personal favorites are beef brisket, miso pork belly, and the cheese corn. They played good music as well! read more

I think I found my new favorite spot for Korean BBQ in Centreville! I am usually a fan of Iron Age but Meat Project definitely won me over. We went before the dinner rush on a Saturday. Our party arrived and got seated promptly. It is definitely a modern vibe, and I appreciate how there is ample lighting. Music level was perfect, loud enough to hear it but not overwhelming. Our server was awesome and helpful. The quality and the selection of meats was surprising! They have a wide selection for everyone from the basics to something more for the adventurous eater. You can order as much sides as you want. Only thing I will nitpick is the small intestine was pretty gritty, but everything else exceeded my expectations. The pork jowl was definitely my favorite. Time just flew by and before we realize the server told us we reached our 90 minutes. I would say this is one of the better AYCE places in the area. The cherry on top is that they offer a free popsicle for dessert. Which is a must after KBBQ. I cannot wait to come back and tell to everyone to check this place out! read more

I am bias bc I'm spoiled in California with good AYCE KBBQ and a lot more options but for the price you pay and the service you get i would go back to this place. The server was attentive though we were a big party and I appreciated that. I dont think it's worth a 1.5-2 hr wait but it's still a decent option. Wasn't a fan of their brisket and pork belly but my fav meats were their rib eye, honey garlic squid, and pork jowl. I'm typically not a fan of marinated meats with KBBQ but I'll make an exception for this. Also wished for a wider selection of banchan too. read more

November 2020 - COVID Review: During COVID, they're wearing masks and gloves. They're also doing temperature checks at the door! It wasn't very crowded inside and they properly distanced parties from each other. Who knew that Meat Project was actually a kbbq spot and *not* a butcher?? I saw the sign go up for this place months ago when I would drive past on Rt. 29 and luckily I saw an Instagram ad recently that said it was now offering AYCE kbbq! My husband's and my go to spot is typically Sō but they recently raised their prices ($25 to $27). So we decided that since Meat Project is only a few dollars more ($30 as of November 2020), we would give it a try! Especially since they include galbi, intestines, and seafood on their one AYCE menu - where at other AYCE spots you would have to upgrade to the higher priced menu. The meat quality was really good! They said that since they started off as non-AYCE and offered meat combos, they kept that same meat quality. All of the meats were really tender. The meats come out pre-packaged/portioned. You also have a 1.5 hour dining limit. My main con was that the sauces were different from other kbbq places. They gave us soybean paste, a jalapeño soy sauce, and a pesto sauce. **If you have a nut allergy, you cannot have the pesto sauce! They use tree nuts in it!** The pesto sauce was unique but it tasted too creamy and like a salad dressing to me. I couldn't get it to go with any of the meats we ordered. But despite the sauces, we agreed we would definitely come back for the mouthwatering galbi! They also have Coffee Project and Dessert Project located to the left inside the restaurant - a Korean bakery cafe styled spot with an outdoor patio for nice weathered days! read more

We've been here many times and always loved it! Especially the brisket and spicy octopus. Our waiter Daniel was one of the best waiters Ive ever had, friendly and very helpful, and very attentive! Hope he's there next time we come read more

One of my favorite go to spots in Centerville. Of all the AYCE, this is the cheapest and includes more expensive cuts including large intestine. It is definitely catered towards all with salad and side dishes. It can accommodate large groups however it gets so busy during weekends and nights. Make sure to join the waitlist early! I recommend the pork belly and brisket as starter meats. They definitely have a variety and have very fast service! read more

First time visiting the area and a friend suggested this location; surely do not regret it! First off the service was amazing, like some of the best I've had in a while. Our server was extremely helpful & attentive. There are several meat options to chose from including seafood!

TL;DR: Another solid KBBQ place in Centreville. NOT AYCE. Amazing quality and flavor of meats and sides, fast service LONG review ahead Came here on a Friday afternoon, and it was pretty empty. Found out that they did not have a soft OR grand opening. They just decided to open up a couple weeks ago. Opening during a pandemic is for sure harder, so having grand openings would be hard while social distancing. When it comes to new new businesses, I like to cut them some slack. No place is going to have it all together the first few months of opening. But Meat Project didn't really need it. But hopefully they can handle and scale their service as they get busier. FOOD: Water: They serve bottled water, probably due to the pandemic, and I appreciated that Sauces: They had a green sauce that tasted not as Korean, but it was so good. They had a more runny soy based sauce, again, good. And lastly they have samjang We got the Beef and Pork Combo for 2: Brisket: love brisket! It was soft and tender, and all their sauces were so good with it too Pork belly: like butter. I always get worried since pork belly can be tough and chewy, but theirs was 10/10 Pork Jowl: so much flavor Galbi: SO GOOD. The marinade was perfect Steamed egg: Actually had a lot of flavor. A lot of KBBQ places have a reputation for very watery and bland steamed egg, but I liked theirs Soybean Soup (doenjang jjigae): had a lot of veggies and tofu in it! They did not skimp! Love it Corn cheese pancake: can't go wrong with corn and cheese Japchae: I liked that they served it a little warm. Nothing beats japchae that feels like it was just made Potato: Not my favorite thing. It had a tangier flavor than I'm used to, but that's just personal preference Salad: i LOOOOOVVED their dressing. It was spicy and sweet and acidic. ugh, could eat a huge bowl of this CAFE: They have a cafe that is attached, and it is such a great space with a v cute outdoor area over looking a little pond. Looks like they sell/partnered with Manoa and Shilla bakery to sell their pastries. Didn't have a chance to try their drinks yet, but looking forward to it. Will definitely come back! read more

My review is 3.5 stars! My friend and I didn't order kbbq here. This restaurant is located next to a nice pond (with ample sitting area) and we wanted to eat around there. So we ordered bibimbap for takeout. Surprisingly, it took over 30 minutes for our order to be ready! It seemed that there were only two employees taking care of the entire restaurant. When we came in to place our order at 5:15 PM, there were only two parties. Ironically, this place is called Meat Project, but there was no meat in their bibimbap!! Since there was no meat in our bibimbap, I'm not sure why it took them such a long time to prepare them. Regardless, it was solid bibimbap... Just a bit pricier than other Korean places in the area (~$13 with tax). I understand that this restaurant is new and they're probably working to iron out the kinks with their service. I'm willing to give this place another try in the future. I think it may be hard for them to compete with the abundance of Korean places in Centreville. To note, this place isn't AYCE for kbbq. Their kbbq prices seem expensive... read more

Currently (September 2022), at $30 per person for AYCE Korean bbq, this place is hands down a pretty good deal for meat yumminess. I've heard about this place for a while now, but held out, until finally deciding to give my self imposed Korean bbq ban a break (high LDL). Admittedly, this place was pretty good. Excellent service from the young staff members, who work as a team, made for a good experience. Make sure to get a honeydew flavored ice cream bar before you leave. One per person is given out to diners! Yum! read more

Each meat was good. Good flavor and consistently tender. The banchan were also good, in particular the corn cheese and soybean soup. The portions for the banchan are small so if possible, order multiple of each for the ones that aren't already set on the table for your group. Whoever's playlist it is, the Kpop is great but with the big sadboi hours music, my question is: who hurt you? You good bruh? Also, the IU soju posters. For lovers of meat and IU in the DMV, it's paradise. 5/5 for IU alone. read more

Meat Project - IU Soju posters - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Went to this new Korean BBQ place with a big group a few weeks ago. We got all you can eat and tried these BBQ meats: Bulgogi, Project Steak, and Beef Brisket over soju and Korean beers. We were also served corn cheese, rice, kimchi, and radish. I like corn cheese - theirs is good but I have had better elsewhere. Their house sauces were unique and flavorful - I think one is wasabi or cilantro, gochujang, and sesame. I was surprised on how good the quality of the meats are. Each serving is quite generous and flavorful. The service is excellent. Our server was really attentive and made sure that we have everything we need - including a water refill, ban chan, and sauces. I would definitely love to visit this KBBQ place again soon. read more

I'm coming back to this place because I had a great experience last time. The food quality was on par to other good KBBQ places. Unfortunately the server we got this time was not as good as our last one. We would ask for something and before we could finish telling him everything we needed he was gone. When he came back we would tell him another item that we wanted and again would leave before we were done telling him what we wanted. It really is hit or miss when it comes to whether you get an attentive server or not. The place is loud but not as loud as other restaurants who play songs at volume 11. The noise is a combination of other tables talking and some music in the background. read more

Not gonna lie, everything about Meat Project is 10/10! from the food to the staff, I am blown out the water every time I come here. I found Meat Project through looking at places that were close to Spa World on Yelp after my friends and I finished our sled care day on a Saturday night. Thank god this place was open late or else I'm not sure where my friends and I would have ate! When we came in, we were immediately seated and placed our order. The staff was so attentive and the three of us placed our meat orders and they were coming out consistently. I've had Korean BBQ before but a lot of the times they gave us the food and we cooked the majority of the time...but at Meat the staff here were coming almost every 5 minutes and were cooking for us! It was really great to have staff so attentive. For me, the brisket and the potato salad were the stars. All of the meat is fresh and the side foods are great to cleanse your palette or to add to your meats. This is a must after a day of indulgence at Spa World, or since they are open pretty late, a great place to go with a group of friends. At 30 dollars a head, you can't beat it. read more

I came into this palace with high expectations. It totally hit the spot. I give it a 4 only because the meat portions were uncommonly smaller than the other Korean bbq places in the area. Everything is portioned in advance. I'd recommend trying all their meat options. They are yummy. The only one that was cut weird were the intestines. Get the gopchang but the daechang is cut up way too small. The service is quick and you can call in advance via yelp. read more

Meat Project - All you can eat! Kalbi and pork belly were great! - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

I came to Meat Project on a Tuesday evening with a big appetite after a day of spa activities. I was seated within 5 minutes of arriving with no reservation. Our waiter Eric was very personable, attentive, gave great suggestions throughout our meal, and cooked our food well. Your meal comes with all you can eat pork, beef, chicken and seafood options with steamed rice, an assortment of sauces, kimchis, radishes, and optional sides included in the cost. I tried the Corn Cheese side at the recommendation of our waiter and enjoyed it. If you like creamed corn or even elote (Mexican street corn), you'll probably enjoy it too. I didn't try any other sides to help save room, but I regretted not ordering the 3combo salad after it arrived to a table beside mine. Having such a beautiful salad would have been perfect with all those savory, delicious meats. As for the meats, the Brisket and Spicy squid were my favorites, followed by the Spicy Beef Bulgogi and Shrimp. My least favorite was the Short Rib. It tasted great but was too chewy for my liking. Lastly, I tried the Peach Soju, which is their most popular Soju flavor followed by the Yogurt. The Soju comes in a bottle with a shot glass to sip it from. I split it with a friend and still had trouble finishing the bottle. It was a little too sweet for me but was a nice compliment to all the spicy, sweet, and sour flavors of the rest of my meal. Overall I enjoyed my experience. I received great service, was able to choose from a variety of options and found my meal to be a great value for the price ($30 pp and $16 for a bottle of Soju). I was trying not to eat pork so I would have liked more seafood and chicken options but would still return if I'm ever craving Korean BBQ and in the area again. read more

Very disappointed to have to leave this review. We used to frequent Meat Project but hadn't gone in about six months since we live in MD. MD doesn't have many good options for good korean BBQ so we were excited to have found Meat Project. The meat was high quality and the value was good. When we went back today, it seemed like a different restaurant (not sure if management changed). The food quality has dropped drastically, the meat was mostly fat and looked like it had been sitting a bit too long. There was only three banchan (side dishes) and all tasted strange. The bait and switch on the "dry-aged ribeye" was unappreciated. Their version of a dry-aged ribeye is a thinly sliced unmarbled (barely choice) ribeye soaked in marinade to the point that the meat starts to disintegrate. We had driven 40 minutes to eat this and was shocked. If I wanted low quality Korean BBQ, I could've saved time and gas going to a MD Honey Pig or Iron Age. Next time we come to NoVA, we'll stick to our other favorite Meokja Meokja or honestly any of the other Korean BBQ restaurants in the area. The positive reviews of Meat Project are probably all outdated or are from those who are new to Korean BBQ or have not yet experienced high quality Korean BBQ. You can tell a Korean restaurant is good when there are actual Koreans that dine there since no one has higher standards for Korean cuisine than Koreans, but no Koreans were to be found. Meat Project seems to have lost its identity and it was quite evident they were only looking for ways to cut costs than to offer the best product. Also they have been working to renovate the other half of the restaurant for more than a year and I have no idea what is happening with that. read more

My new favorite KBBQ place in Nova by leaps and freaking bounds. This place is a fresh take on the classic idea of a KBBQ, having lowered barriers in between tables so you can see other people who are in the restaurant as opposed to being in your own cubicle. I feel like for an all you can eat place this is important to me so that the waiters can see if you need more food easier. The waiter, Isaac, as phenomenal. This guy was super attentive and made sure my friends and I were well received. Now onto the actual food that this place offers. Despite not having the world's biggest menu selection, this place offers a very quality lineup of meats. The brisket is fantastic and the pork belly is super tender and juicy. Not at all dry. The biggest surprise was the kalbi, which is something I sometimes refrain from ordering from kbbq's as it can be hit or miss. This place blew it out of the park. Fantastic cuts all around. The biggest question mark/letdown that I had here was oddly enough the dry aged ribeye. I was surprised to see this cut alongside the others and got it out of curiosity. It was oddly stringy, tough, and doesn't cut well in a KBBQ setting. Other than this and the fact that some of the jjigae was absurdly salty, this place was a fantastic location and I'll be back soon! Definitely check out the cafe next door! read more

My siblings and I came here a couple weeks ago to try it out for the first time, and i would definitely recommend it! For $30/person, you definitely get a very good option of meat selections! We didn't bother with any of the seafood but tried pretty much all of the others. The table favorite was the marinated pork steak - so flavorful! But no complaints about the brisket, pork belly, bulgolgi, or ribeye either. Sesame oil wasn't one of the default sauces, which was new to me, but they were quick to bring it out when requested! The sides are a little sparse compared to other AYCE KBBQ places, but honestly, most people don't eat those all anyway, so I didn't mind. I did appreciate the japchae and the mashed potatoes though - my forever favs. Service was good - they came by enough and helped to handle the cooking although we did do some of it on our own too. But very friendly servers. Vibe is a little more casual than other places - not necessarily a "hip" and "modern" place, but casual, open and just fine for a chill time. They also offer melon ice cream pops for dessert, which is a nice touch! Maybe not the best for asians who are lactose intolerant, but I liked the option! It looked like they were opening an AYCE dessert place as well, which I definitely cannot wait for! Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be able to go to both in the same night, but it'd be cool if they offered some sort of dessert discount for those who eat kbbq in the same night. Would definitely recommend Meat Project and go again too! read more
