This was genuinely one of the BEST kbbq experiences i've ever had!! im so frustrated seeing the star rating on here what the heck! walked in and was immediately greeted and seated. they start by providing ample sides, (that salad is to die for btw), super quick service, and drinks. my sister and i put down maybe 4 or so rounds of brisket, bulgogi, and pork belly, and each one was so fresh and flavorful. the staff is SO SO SO attentive, constantly walking by to cook your meat for you, refill your sauce / water, and see if you want to order more. in addition to service, the inside is a gorgeous wooden, cozy interior that feels like you could spend hours in there. i lovedddd it, skip the big chains like iron age and give this place a chance!! read more

Oegadgib - full spread - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Went here twice with my parents. Bulgogi is excellent - definitely no "boiled" texture, you could tell it was grilled. Hugeee portion too, has like 5 servings in there. The lunch special with the tofu stew + spicy pork is an excellent deal at $14 for both items!! The spicy pork has a delicious marinade and isn't too spicy, plus the tofu stew is decent and a good portion. No frills, high quality food at a fantastic price. read more

I've tried their sam gyup sal and cha dol bak i. For AYCE, their meat quality is excellent. Waiters regularly check what I needed and did not miss my requests. I could enjoy conversations with my friends in the restaurant and it was not very noisy. read more

Bare bones KBBQ, very traditional, very old school. And that's what makes it so great if you wanna get lots of meat and don't care for variety then this is your place for a really affordable and filling meal. You do have 90 minutes to interdine, but this was plenty of time for me and my partner. They also offer a choice of soup or Steamed egg to go with your meal. They also offer very simple banchan and a small thing of rice, which is great to cut the fattiness and complex flavors of the marinated meat. Pretty much all the meat is marinated, so you may get sick of the same flavors. I can see this place being a family tradition or favorite restaurant for its affordability and homey feeling. read more

This establishment ranks among Annandale's top all-you-can-eat BBQ spots. The prices are fair, especially given the quality of the meats and generous portions. Though it is all-you-can-eat, their excellent dipping sauce, signature lettuce salad with unique seasoning, and side dishes--unlike those at some other local places--show a commitment to high standards. The service is praiseworthy; our attentive server made sure the BBQ plates were regularly refreshed, preventing any burning. They expertly grilled and skillfully sliced the meats into smaller portions for us. Even the suction from the grill pan was so strong that we left without smelling like BBQ. Every aspect of this restaurant is excellent, and I highly recommend it. read more

This was our second visit (the first visit was during throes of Covid) and our first time opting for the all you can meat option ($29.99). We came early afternoon on a Saturday and there were still a few open tables. Despite some idiosyncrasies, we enjoyed our meal and will be back. The meat options include beef brisket (but was not available when we here), pork belly, bulgogi, chopped marinated beef steak, marinated boneless pork ribs, chopped marinated pork steak, spicy boneless pork ribs, marinated spicy chicken, marinated chicken and beef intestines. You can order two meats at a time. We tried the pork belly, bulgogi, beef steak and spicy chicken. My favorite was the pork belly (so we ordered a second round of that). We also especially enjoyed the beef steak. Curiously, the meal comes with only one bowl of soup, even if there is more than one person at the table. Scrambled/steamed egg comes in a separate bowl, for adding to the soup. The meal also comes with a bottomless banchan tray. I liked its light macaroni salad and the banchan vegetables were very good. Each person is also provided with a covered bowl of white rice. The award for best flavor of the day goes to the sesame sauce that you can drizzle over your meat, rice and vegetables. The restaurant staff cooks the meat for you, frequently coming over and stirring/turning over the meat in the grill on your table. They were pretty good about that, except for one time when they forgot about our meat cooking and the chicken was burned black. They did give us a replacement. But overall, service was excellent and attentive. read more

It's been awhile since I came here but when I did I enjoyed my experience. I just came with a friend for a quick nice meal and thats what we got! Service was good but I would say the ambiance kind of didn't match the vibe. Like it's so dark and stuff but I would consider this more of a homey place. Perhaps their night life is popping? idk but I should try the bbq next time. read more

The best for late night dining. Yummy food. Will always visit when I'm in the area Highly recommend

' Way gah gib' that's how it's pronounced. Had to ask because I'm not proficient with Korean spelling and pronunciation, but I know food! If you've never been here before, or not familiar with the area, you will miss this place because it's tucked behind a Mexican restaurant. It's not fancy by any means, but the meats are really good and so is the dip that is provided. It's sesame based for sure. It comes with 4 types of banchan and a delicious salad to share for all. There is the option to get soup and steamed egg. If you want more than one bowl each, it's extra $2.99 a serving. The soup has a little bit of a bite so be wary if you don't like spice. I love spice and thought it was just right. The servings of meat are quite plentiful. We got the pork belly, marinated steak, spicy boneless pork rib and beef brisket. That was enough for the 3 of us. They also cook the meat for you! That was kinda nice. They dont stand there the whole time, but they come back quite frequently, adjust the burner if necessary and let you know when meat is cooked. They are very efficient. We didn't need to wait for anything. Thay have another side menu with pancakes, rice cakes , mandu, and more, but that's extra cost. Not necessarily needed at kbbq, if you want the grilled meat. You can also ask from garlic and jalapeño on the side, Would definitely dine here again if I. The mood for kbbq. read more

Our second time here and the food is just so good. The prices are competitive to other places in the area. The salad is excellent and the meat is always flavorful and perfectly cooked. We love this place and always leave happy! read more

One of the better Korean barbecue spots in Annandale although the menu has 3 beef options. Not the most ideal when you don't eat pork but I did enjoy the bulgogi, wasn't the biggest fan of the steak or beef brisket. I will say the special sauce they have is incredible and absolutely delicious! One of the best I've had in KBBQ They charge you for extra eggs (2.99 for each) which I thought was strange since my other spot just gives you unlimited of that. The servers are constantly walking around to make sure your drinks are full and if you need anything else on the menu. Overall great experience and as mentioned one of the better kbbq read more

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. This has become one of my favorite restaurants. The staff is quick and tentative. They have a great selection of meats for the all you can eat with brisket being my favorite. The Bulgogi and marinated steak are also great options. What makes this place so amazing is the sauce they give you and the soup!! The soup is a must try! read more

Oegadgib - Brisket - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Amazing Korean bbq! There was a big group that was really distracting but not their fault at all! The service was great and the quality of meat was even better. So good for the price ! read more

I've visited a few times before, but unfortunately this most recent experience will probably be my last. The service was disappointing, and the wait for the food was extremely long. Our table ended up being the last group there because everything took so long. I understand that the restaurant gets busy, especially near closing time, but we felt overlooked and treated unfairly throughout the night. Being charged an automatic gratuity on top of that was frustrating. The meat selections also didn't feel particularly special for the price, especially with additional charges for side refills. I hope others have a better experience than we did. read more

This was, without question, the worst experience I've ever had at this restaurant -- and I've been here over 10 times. Let's start with the bill: automatic gratuity has always been for parties of 6 or more. Since when did you start forcing it on parties of 4? Forcing customers to pay extra without transparency is dishonest and unacceptable. Now the food and service: I know exactly how your green salad and bean sprouts should taste because I eat them every single time I visit. What I was served tonight was spoiled -- it smelled rotten and tasted bad. When I asked politely for a new plate, the server glared at me and snapped, "WHAT'S UP WITH IT?" Then challenged me with, "HOW? We just made a new batch." Excuse me? A paying customer should never be interrogated or disrespected like that. If the food was fine, why would I bother to ask for a replacement? Instead of apologizing, he brought another plate that was just as bad, shrugged his shoulders, smirked, and walked away. No apology. No respect. Nothing but arrogance and rudeness. This is beyond careless -- it's insulting. Food that tastes spoiled is a health risk, and a server who laughs at customers and dismisses their concerns has no business working in this industry. To make it worse, you automatically added a 20% tip to a party of 4. On a night like this, that server deserved $0. Forcing customers to tip on top of terrible service is pure robbery. read more

It's simple, no-frills KBBQ. They had all the cuts of meat that matter to me (i.e. brisket, pork belly, and some type of steak) and the highlight of the meal was definitely the side dishes; they were amazing. Only one dipping sauce is offered but it complemented the meat well, with a sort of soy-based but also tangy flavor. The interior is quite small, so we had to wait a long time for a table. Overall, I'd return, maybe at a time that isn't as busy so there isn't as much of a wait. read more

Delicious authentic AYCE food for $30/person. Beef brisket was the best. Pork belly and chopped marinated beef steak weren't bad but not as good as brisket. The accompanying sweet/savory sesame sauce was *soooo* good. I think it might have honey and lime, too. The salad and banchan were great; I was particularly impressed with the salad! Who knew salad at a Korean BBQ place could be so delicious? The salad dressing tasted of sesame, lime, vinegar, and honey(? It was slightly sweet). I swear to God, this place has the best salad as well as the best accompanying sauce for BBQ meat. Good quick service too. read more

Saturday, March 15 @ 8:00pm, we walked in and wrote down my name for 3 people on the waiting list, there were 2 names ahead of me. A party of 5 and a party of 3. I stood infront of the counter and waited patiently. A few minutes later, a party of 3 walked in, the host who was standing behind the counter knew the person and did a fist bump, the man asked if there was a table for them, the host asked for how many, the man said for 3, without even telling them to sign in he had them seated right away. I asked the host whats the use of the waiting list if you were just going to seat people you know right away? He said that group was on the list, told the him that's not true because if he was here before, you would not have asked how many were in his party. The host could not say anything for he knew he messed up. No apologies whatsoever. I dont mind waiting, I have waited for 45 minutes for a table in other places. But it was done correctly, no playing favorites for people you know. It was not our first visit here, the food is always great and thats why we always eat here, but that might change after this, the experience left a sour taste in my mouth. Not sure if he owns the place or not, but if he does, then he is setting a poor example and it reflects badly on the restaurant's integrity. If he doesn't own the place, then management should be aware that favoritism like this can drive loyal customers away. I understand that regulars and friends might get special treatment sometimes, but when there's a clear system in place, it should be followed fairly. The whole point of a waitlist is to keep things organized and ensure that everyone is treated with respect. This experience was really disappointing, especially since we've always enjoyed the food here. I hope management takes this seriously because no matter how good the food is, unfair treatment like this makes people think twice about coming back. read more

All you can eat kbbq. Tucked away in a tiny parking lot. It's definitely a mom and pop shop. Service is very quick and fast. They come by and cook your meat for you. The side dishes are very basic but all you need for kbbq. The salad is really good. They have a good dipping sauce for the meats too. Perfect because I usually like getting the plain meats like brisket and pork belly. They actually let you cook it crispy too. Got here at a perfect time bc when we left it was busier. So for a Saturday definitely be mindful about time! read more

terrible customer service and didn't want to be seated an hour before close. rude managers and staff.

This place used to be my go to in my college years, but i don't know what happened but the quality of the meat was so trashy. The grill had oil grease on it. I will not go back. read more

!!!UNBELIVABLTERRIBLE!!! We a group of 5 people go to this place all the time since the restaurant still used the stone grill and not even renovated yet cuz we love the food and the service there. Today we also want go there to enjoy our dinner after work like we always do once in a while. The experience we got today was unbelievable terrible! Like extremely disappointed and disgusted from the service we got from a male server with glasses. Everything was a rush and everything we order to grilled is burnt! Like freaking burnt that it's not appetizing at all. Like the time we go into the restaurant was 10:40pm and we know it close at midnight plus we know the last call from the kitchen was 11:20pm which we were fine cuz we been there before during this time, like we even went there at 11pm a couple times but never got treated like this by any server in the restaurant. It was not even busy only 3 tables left in the restaurant and he wasn't even serving or grilling for those table beside us. He still chose to turn the grill on high puts in the meat and walked away doing who knows what and not even on the floor where the freaking grill was shooting fire until the nice little guy that was cleaning came in to turn it off for us. That's the 1st mistake, and then more mistakes keeps coming. He then still chose to do the same thing but turning the grill on super high this time, we saw that so we were trying to cook the meat ourselves to make sure it's not burnt so we can have some meat that's more eatable, but we can see the grill is burnt and black and we understand that it's from the burnt sauce from the marinated meat but it should not burnt like burnt charcoal meat that we can't even eat. When I told him that we can't eat it because it too burnt and bitter especially after he stirred the meat around the burnt grill pan even more that it even catches all those burnt dust, he said it's normal because the meat was marinated, I said it's not cuz we been there since before he worked there, we eat those marinated meat before, but never burnt like charcoal burnt taste like this and it's not eatable, he still argue and said it's normal and nodded and walked away without apologizing or even trying to do anything that would help the situation. He then start another meat with a new grill pan and walked away again! He didn't even asked how we're doing or see if we were able to enjoy our meal that we paid full price for plus the auto grats that wasn't even worth it for his service. He just walked up and put down the check and rush us out saying they close at 11:45 when we still grilling the last meat that was the only meat portion that eatable and not burnt cuz we grilled it ourselves. So we put down our chopsticks and pay the freaking bill, left a note about the service and walked out very disappointed, disgusted and upset with the service provided especially we can see the owner/manager standing there minding nothing about the poor service his server did. I know when it's late people tends to want to go home, but you don't freaking work in restaurants that closes at midnight and rush customers that came in the door to enjoy the meal like this. Freaking chose to do last seating like an hour before the kitchen last call so customers don't get treated like this from your servers or trend them again to be more mindful and respectful to customers that came in to pay them for your services, not like oh at least 4 people came I can auto grats them and serves them poorly like this! !!!UNBELIEVABLY TERRIBLE!!! read more

Oegadgib - Burnt Beef Brisket and Burnt Beef Intestine - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

This was the most impeccable Korean BBQ I've ever had. The food, service, and value were all top notch. The restaurant also felt like I was suddenly in Korea. I also learned today that I LOVE beef intestine!! And their bulgogi isn't sickeningly sweet like other places make it - it has actual flavor. The unlimited banchan and salad are also delicious and hard to stop munching on. Highly highly recommend this place at your next BBQ craving. read more

If you know you know. This is the where I first ate Korean BBQ in the DMV area. The location is quite quaint but well maintained. Not much has changed since the late 2000s which is a good thing nowadays. The service is commendable and the sauce is legendary. Start with the Beef Brisket and work your way through their AYCE menu. read more

Oegadgib - Beef Brisket & Salad - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Was finally able to go here after planning for it for a long time, only to be treated badly by an arrogant manager who could not even let us know if we had to wait or what the wait time even was after asking him multiple times. He just pointed towards a sheet that had the names of the waiting list telling us to fill in the form. When we did and waited for a while, he finally got off the phone and took us to our table. Then came the waiter who brought and cooked the meat for us carefully. When the waiter was busy, the manager kept stepping in to cook the meat and ended up either buring or serving us raw pork. The restaurant also has a fine of $20 for every plate of leftover meat, this forced us to eat the burnt pork belly pieces or the uncooked parts of the pork ribs. The only time the manager even made eye-contact or smiled at us was when we were leaving to pay our bill. Food: The food was decent in taste and was on par with other KBBQ places I tried around NoVA but I would still not recommend given the price and the options you have. You are only provided with one sauce and some bonchon without an option to order additional ones. Ambience: The place was small but was decent. But it was too noisy due to being a smaller area and the waiter just throwing in the BBQ stoves. read more

As a big fan of Iron Age I was REALLY disappointed here. No knock to the restaurant because many really this but not MY preference. For starters there's isn't too much to choose from and in my opinion the food wasn't seasoned at all like the pork belly. Definitely will not be returning but I do appreciate the staff for being very friendly it's just not what I look for at a Korean bbq place. One thing I didn't like was you have to pay extra for rice cakes unlike in places like Iron Age, it's all included and free refills. read more

For the DMV area, my friends and family like going here the most for AYCE kbbq. The quality and variety of protein on the menu is pretty great and we really like the salad. I highly recommend you call in to place a reservation if you're not there during opening time. Finding parking can be a bit of a challenge as well. read more

It is so good to be back. Have always enjoyed Oegadgib in Annandale. My recommendation is go during a weekday night, as parking is a challenge. With that being said, and this restaurant's popularity, you will experience a culinary feast. Am full once again. Tonight was a family celebration, but have gone here for just an all you can eat Korean meal that's an excellent value. Always feel at home here. There are side dishes like rice and vegetables. The sardine soup was surprisingly good, as I gave it a try. My main food choices are the beef brisket or chicken. My apologies for not knowing the ovens names, but the staff help you stirring the meats, so that it's the right temperature. These are so tasty, and the pork belly is a treat. Some love the intestines, while I found them strange and rubbery. There's a whole bunch of choices, and the price is right for this type of quality! I ate too much but that's the joy of a buffet. This is packed always, but the tables/seats are comfortable enough. I like how the staff always is around to help you. It is a wonderful cultural experience. Everyone I know who's been here, feels the same passion I do. It is among the best restaurants in the area. Also you won't be mocked for using a fork. This is a wonderful place with a great staff. This is a must type of place in Annandale! read more

Go-to KKBQ spot in Annandale. No reservations (unless you have a group of 10+) so expect to wait 30+ minutes for a table. The banchan + salad + sauces here are why we keep coming back. The feel is definitely like you are in "Grandma's house". Meat quality is pretty average (favorites are the marinated meats) but everything else is brings this up to 4 stars. read more

The worst Korean bbq experience I've ever had. Meat quality was very poor. Beef steak was mushy and beef intestine was bitter. Pork was super fatty. Also the selection was very limited. Banchan was mediocre, with only one kind of sauce. Service was bad. We cooked for ourselves most of the time, while we were forced to pay a 20% service charge with little service received. The place was tiny and packed. If you have more than 8 people, they'll make you sit at separate tables. If I have to name one thing I liked from this place, it'd be the salad. Overall a very disappointing visit. read more

Oegadgib - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Overall I came here with a few friends who are regulars here. I didn't have an amazing experience but the service was great. First of all, this is an all you can eat Korean bbq place (~$38pp after tax and tip). There's a list of meats you can choose from that's included, and you get steamed egg, soup, salad, and banchan (side dishes including fermented vegetables and a pasta salad). We made a reservation for 7 and got sat in the back/private area on the left side of the restaurant. On this side, they grill your meats in portable grills on the side (not at your table). I think the pork belly specifically was coming from the kitchen. Brisket was good, this is mostly what we stuck with. Bulgogi was good if you like marinated meat. Pork belly was not good, it was always overcooked and I'm pretty sure the quality of meat was not good. Pork chop was better than pork belly, but also just okay. Salad - as one friend described it was "the most unhealthy salad I've ever had" but also on the other hand it's the "reason why [my other friend] likes vegetables" now so do with that what you will The service however was great. While the wait between meats took a while, we realized we just had to order the next round as soon as they hand us one round of meat, and it would come pretty quickly. Our server also always brought banchan/salad/sauce/rice refills whenever we asked. read more

I Loveeeee Oegadgib and come back here time and time again. It's perfect for a good group of friends. I've never gone in a bigger group of 6 but you do have to walk in and potentially wait for your whole party to arrive. They have a Homestyle feel, great options, delicious meat - the marinated beef is my absolute favourite! The owner tends to walk around and make sure everyone is satisfied, he's a very nice person and cares about your experience here! They have many side options and delicious dipping sauce - like "I want to buy it and take it home" delicious! Highly recommend, just come with your table don't show up alone and have to wait for 5 people and they're pretty fast about sitting and serving you after that! read more

Oegadgib is a pretty popular KBBQ spot - so as the other reviews mention, be ready to wait a bit or go early. The servers are attentive and we did get our food quickly after being seated, which I appreciate. You also get one free order of soup and egg which is a plus. Unfortunately, I was not very impressed with the banchan here, they did not have regular kimchi but rather a marinated cucumber dish. The banchan consisted of the cucumber, macaroni salad (tasty), a spinach (?) dish, and carrots. I would've appreciated more options, but maybe Koreatown LA has got me spoiled. I did really like the green salad the banchan came with though. For the meat, I tried the brisket, galbi, and marinated chicken. The brisket was by far my favorite - can't go wrong with this. The dipping sauce the meat comes with is also quite delicious, I needed a few servings! Haha - anyways, this place is a pretty decent option for KBBQ, it truly is all you can eat. read more

Really good toasted sesame dipping sauce and the salad dressing is really unique. The banchan is questionable though and that's such a quintessential part of Korean food so IDK but the rating is for the sauce and salad read more

One of the best kbbq places in the area. Customer service and food are great. I really like their signature salad dressing. Last I heard, they were thinking of selling their dressing. Not sure if that's happened. This place is pretty tiny, so keep that in mind when attempting to make a reservation. I had a large party once and we were quite cramped around a table. We still had a great time and enjoyed our food, but I definitely wanted more elbow room. Lastly, parking isn't great. Very few parking spots for a popular place. read more

I haven't been back here in a while and wanted to try it again. They don't have as many meat options as most ayce kbbq but I still think it is pretty good! No other place can beat their salad and I don't even like salad or vegetables! Their buffet comes with an egg and soup and other small sides. We tried 6 different meats and all were delicious except one (boneless pork- a bit dry). The bulgogi and marinated steak were my favorites and were seasoned so well that I didn't need to use sauce for them. Only downside is the lot and restaurant are a bit small so you may be waiting but other than that, I would highly recommend! read more
