    Bit of a hidden gem. Food is incredible, if a bit on the pricey end. Everything was sizzling hot and tasted amazing. Service was remarkably quick. We were one of two customers there during a Sunday afternoon. We were able to order just after sitting down and our food was ready within minutes. Ambiance was typical of a Korean restaurant. Very clean with a few tvs showing YouTube videos. Since it's not crowded I was able to easily converse with my friend.

    Beef tips, 2nd beef out of beef combo for 3-4 people
    Alex J.

    Went on a Sunday for lunch. We' were one of the early ones so we were seated in a good location. Ordered the beef combo for 3-4 people, cold and spicy buckwheat noodles, kalbi soup and dolsut Bibimbap. Meat quality was good. Portion was smaller than other BBQ combos I've had for same amount of people. Buckwheat noodles were over cooked and soup base was ok. More radish,cucumber and pear would of been better. Kalbi soup was good. Dolsut Bibimbap was ok. First time eating at a Korean BBQ in Springfield. Other areas in VA are better, but willing to try again to help local business in areas across VA.

    We came shortly after they opened for dinner so it was nice and quiet! They have a good amount of food choices on the menu. The food was absolutely delicious and flavorful! It was a tad higher priced then other Korean BBQ places we've been too but the food and service was absolutely amazing that the price point was worth it! Looking forward to coming back again in the future!

    Beef pork combo 2

    Top notch. I am Korean, and this is my favorite KBBQ restaurant. For a party of 2.5 (two adults and a toddler), we ordered beef and pork combo #2 and left with our tummies contently full. The brisket was a nice, thicker cut than typical kbbq restaurants. All cuts were mouthwatering good, and pairs perfectly with the three sauces (salt, ssamjang, brisket soy sauce). All of the side dishes were tasty. This is a fully serviced bbq. The owner grills the meat perfectly for you. Overall, the service is what reminds me of home. Not superficial or loud. Quiet and considerate. For example, for our toddler they served an extra fried egg without us asking. I like that the ambiance is calm and welcoming. Not blaring loud music. Clean floors and restrooms. A place to bring your folks to impress.

    Steamed egg

    Meh, I think this place is alright. Not an all you can eat place, just fyi to all the carnivores out there. That being said, it gets pricey quickly. Out of all the things we ordered, the steamed egg was the only best part for me as it came out fluffy and full unlike some other places their egg would sink down. The bulgogi we ordered was flavorful but it was too salty. The banchan (side dishes) that came out was ok, I see the servers taking it out from their cart on the side which I don't know if it's refrigerated or not. Everyone had the runs when we got home. The super thin metal chopsticks that they have will give you hand cramps. Another thing that pissed me off was everything I ordered came out but the rice. I had to ask for it 4 times, it wasn't even busy.

    Bibimbop
    Eunha Y.

    The way Samghyupsahl was sliced was pretty. Unlike other places, there wasn't excessive smoke or popping of the oil at the table. Bibimbop was good. Soondubu Chigae was a bit too sweet for my taste. Soy bean stew was very good though. One of my daughters ordered Nangmyun but the owner came out to apologize that it wasn't available that day. Rice came with the orders. Lately, I've seen Korean restaurants charge extra for rice. I think that's crazy. Although their 2 TVs had pop playing, it wasn't as loud as other places. The service was good too. The owner & the server checked on us often. Although there was plenty of parking available, it was difficult to find because it's located behind Trader Joe's. All in all, it was a great experience. I just wish they had grilled fish in their menu.

    Beef and pork combo
    Monique H.

    Nice place kinda in the cut if you're not familiar with the area and the direction you come from. If you are a beef and pork eater this is the spot for you. I wanted chicken bulgogi which they didn't have nor would make which seemed odd to me for this being a Korean restaurant. Nice ambiance nice staff and the apple soju is good..

    Ban Chan
    Sylvia K.

    I love this place. It's clean, spacious, nice sunlight, food is good and prices are decent. The galbi was good with good portions, spicy pork nice flavor, the dolsut bibimbap had crispy edges and the ban Chan was plentiful. Over the summer I liked the spicy bibim neng myun. No dukkook which is sad. Service was adequate.

    This is absolutely the best Korean barbecue in Springfield. The food is fresh, the service is excellent, and the prices are decent. I lived in Korea for five years, and I have tried all of the Korean barbecue restaurants in the surrounding area. This ranks up there at the very top and the fact that it's so clean and close to my house is a huge bonus. I like the small touches, like putting butter on the cooking surface before you start cooking the meat... It helps season the cooking surface and prevents sticking... you won't leave hungry as there are lots of side dishes and plenty of lettuce too, which you won't find at all of the restaurants around here. Bottom line is this is a great choice if you're into Korean BBQ.

    Great authentic Korean food on the way to the Balian Spa. Another recommendation is to get the Soju to compliment your meal.

    Makchang Dodook Korean BBQ - Beef Brisket

    My friend grew up in Nova, and his favorite KBBQ is Makchang Dodook. He says it's the best for AYCE…read morein terms of quality and price. I've never heard of this spot before, and you typically will not find me in Springfield. However, a few of us made lunch plans this past Good Friday to take advantage of the $29.99 AYCE weekday lunch pricing. We got three rounds of beef brisket (chadol), one thin & thick pork belly (samgyupsal) each, and half an order of large intestine (daechang). The chadol was a little too fatty than I'd like, but it was high quality and comparable to non-AYCE options like Meokja Meokja. I didn't love the thin samgyupsal as much, but the thick version was so meaty and juicy. The intestines were a fatty treat, and I was good with just a couple bites. We had to ask for ssamjang and sesame oil for sauces, which they were generous with giving. Our server was pretty attentive, but we thought it was weird that he cooked the thin samgyupsal and the beef brisket at the same time. As for sides, we asked for lots of them (sadly our corn cheese never came). The fermented soybean stew was strong, but a bit too salty at the end. The egg bomb was fluffy and delicious. They also have ramen (aka shin ramen) which we enjoyed by adding several pieces of chadol and letting it soak in there to get that deep meaty flavor. I enjoyed the kimchi throughout the meal, which was the perfect "not quite fresh, but still crunchy" texture. Overall, we ate to our heart's content. I definitely would be back for more chadol, thick samgypsal, and a bit of daechang in the future. The $30 pricing is a steal for the amount of food we got, but I'd hesitate to pay for the $40 dinner price. I don't eat enough at AYCE spots to get my money's worth, so I would rather spend that $40 at a non-AYCE spot for higher quality cuts like galbi and rib tips.

    We came in really optimistic, and the start was strong. The banchan were excellent, especially the…read morekimchi and pickled onions. Easily some of the best I've had in the area in a long time, and they set the bar high going into the meal. Once we got to the meat, though, it was a little underwhelming. The all you can eat selection was limited, and a lot of the flavors leaned sweet. We were hoping for more savory, classic Korean BBQ flavors. The sauces were fine, but nothing that really stood out. If we came back, we would definitely add on the ribeye or galbi instead of sticking strictly to the all you can eat option. Service was great and attentive, and the atmosphere is solid for the Springfield area. That said, our hood vent almost came off mid grill, which definitely took away from the experience. Overall, a strong start with great banchan and service, but the BBQ itself did not quite deliver.

The actual restaurant feels massive but decorated in a rustic way. I want to give a huge shout out to Alicia. She is such a knowledgeable, approachable, and receptive server. She was on top of refilling drinks, making sure we weren't left alone for too long when we were waiting for our food to come, and just had an overall amazing energy. While we really enjoy all of the servers we've had at Mikes, Alicia takes the cake. If there's any way to provide her with recognition, I would highly vouch for it. She could sell me anything on that menu with that kind of personality! Thank you, Alicia! I'm going to make sure we try to get seated at your table again.

    I visited Mike's American after coming across it on Resy and was able to get a same-day reservation…read morefor two on Easter Sunday. As expected, it was busy, but the restaurant does have a fairly large parking lot which made arrival easier. The setup was interesting. After checking in downstairs, I was given a ticket and directed upstairs for seating. I took the elevator, which offered a clear view of the kitchen below as it ascended... definitely a unique touch. Upstairs, another host staff guided us to our table. The space had a lively feel, roaring with chatter from customers, and I could see parts of the kitchen where food was being prepared over an open flame, which added to the overall atmosphere. For the food, we started with the calamari. It was cooked well and had a nice texture, especially paired with the crispy onion shoestrings, which added a good crunch and flavor. It was served over a lobster sauce, although the lobster flavor wasn't very noticeable. The main issue was the salt level... it was quite heavy! I did enjoy it overall, but I would only recommend it to someone who doesn't have to watch their sodium intake. For entrées, I ordered the steak cooked medium with broccolini. The dish automatically comes with mashed potatoes, and while I was able to substitute the salad for broccolini, there didn't seem to be flexibility with the potatoes. After tasting the mashed potatoes, I wish I was offered to substitute it as it tasted like the brown box we grew up on where you just added water. When the food came out, the steak was closer to medium-well or well done rather than medium, and both the mashed potatoes and broccolini were a bit cold. I chose not to send it back since we waited but it did affect the overall experience. My guest ordered the ribs with fries and coleslaw. The ribs were well-prepared--tender with a clean pull off the bone--and were probably the highlight of the meal. The fries were also very good and came out hot. The coleslaw wasn't as well received, described as having too many of the tougher parts of the cabbage. Overall, the experience had some positives, especially in terms of atmosphere and certain menu items like the ribs and fries. While I did enjoy parts of the meal, it's not somewhere I would personally return to, but it may be worth trying once to form your own opinion.
