This is my favorite Korean restaurant in Annapolis! The food here is absolutely fantastic, and they have all these different soju flavors. Their AYCE deal is a steal！！！the meat quality is awesome. They even have lunch specials on weekdays, perfect for a quick break.
Plus, they give you all these free side dishes and salad. I mean, how good is that? Today we got the premium meat from the menu, and they were beautifully prepared. Our server was super cool too, really patient and full of energy. The whole vibe in there makes you feel like you're in Korea!
Honestly, if you're around, you've gotta check this place out.

I brought a group of 15 people to KBBQ on a Friday evening. While we purchased the all you can eat meat package, I was frustrated to hear that some of the people in my group left hungry as it is truly not all you can eat. While serving us slowly and limiting us to only being there for an hour and a half, we feel as though paying 50$ for all you can eat was a scam, only to mention that the grill my table was using kept shutting off and we would have to wait for the waiter to come fix it. Despite having a reservation 4 days in advance, while finishing our last bites of food at the table, a worker came up to us and said that there was a group waiting for us to leave and we needed to hurry and finish eating. Food tasted good, but the service was poor and we felt as though we were scammed. Perhaps this is due to the large group that I brought that made it difficult to serve. I would not recommend bringing a large group to eat here.

It was our first time dining here, and we came to celebrate my birthday. Our server, Matt, was very pleasant and made our dining experience enjoyable. We ordered the premium beef selections. The food tasted good, except for one type of beef slices that were a bit chewy and not very pleasant. However, the rest of the food was excellent.

The food and service was great. Our server made sure that we didn't burn the food. I gave 4 stars because the lemon drops were terribly sweet. They poured too much syrup and served it in a soft drink glass. This was our second visit. We'd normally visit the Wheaton location but they have roaches.

The food was okay, but there are other Korean BBQ places that are so much better than this. The service was terrible. We kept asking the server to bring us things, but he was very slow and would forget to bring some items. The rice cakes were not good. The salad was okay. I will not be returning to this place.

I had such a fantastic experience at INJU BBQ! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and lively. The staff were so attentive, always making sure our grill was just right and that we had everything we needed.
The quality of the meat was incredible—tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. Every bite just melted in my mouth. I also loved the variety of banchan (side dishes); each one was fresh, delicious, and added a perfect balance to the meal.
What really stood out was how fun and interactive the dining experience was. Cooking at the table, sharing food, and trying all the different flavors made it so much more than just dinner—it was an experience I’ll definitely come back for.
If you’re looking for amazing food, generous portions, and great service, INJU BBQ is a must-visit! Highly recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️

Walked in to get a table of 4 for midweek dinner. There were 4 occupied tables and the rest of the restaurant was empty. We were told to wait for a table to get ready, and we waited for 15 minutes. We walked out — how can an empty restaurant not be able to at least seat us for a quarter of an hour? And how could it be 80% empty during normal dinner hours?
The decoration looked nice at least. I got a really good, extended view.
We had an incredible experience at Inju Barbecue! The was amazing for the price and the marinated steak was so good !
What made our visit even better was the service. Our server, Bob, was amazing! He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. He went above and beyond to make our meal enjoyable, and it really made a difference in the whole experience.
Highly recommend Inju Barbecue if you’re looking for great food and outstanding service. We’ll definitely be coming back!

i cant speak for the food because i didn't even get to go in... I got there around 7:30, and they told me it would be a 30 minute wait for a party of 2. they put me on a wait list and said they would text when a seat became available. 50 minutes later, we didn't receive any form of contact from them. we decided to walk back and saw that they posted a sign on their door saying that they were closing at 8:30 for the day due to maintenance. while it would have been no problem for us to find another place to eat, the lack of communication did not make us feel welcomed or valued as a customer. they did not even come out to apologize. they simply posted a sign on their door, clearly saw that we had been waiting, and did not say a single word to us. we were really excited for our first kbbq experience in maryland but was very disappointed.

I’ve always had great experiences at Jongro, but today was very disappointing due to the rudeness of a staff member named Natalie. Upon arrival, she immediately told me they were severely short-staffed and that the wait would be an hour. She pointed out several people ahead of me who had been waiting 40 minutes and came across as very unpleasant and rude.
When I asked if I could put my name on the list and walk around with my two young children while we waited, she said no, insisting we had to sit in the store for the full hour. She also mentioned that seating closes at 8:30 PM, even though the restaurant hours show they are open until midnight, giving inconsistent information. I explained that this wasn’t feasible for us, but she continued to be rude and unaccommodating. I asked again if she could at least take my number, and after a tense exchange where I mentioned it seemed like she didn’t want to serve us, she finally took it.
Her behavior felt unwelcoming and, frankly, counterproductive—driving customers away, which is not helpful for establishments like Jongro that rely on repeat business.
Overall, this was a very unpleasant experience. I’ve never had this kind of interaction at Jongro before, and I hope this feedback is helpful in improving customer service.

Food was decent, service was better. They have lunch specials Monday-Thursday. Plenty of parking since it’s located at the mall. Pretty quiet in there when we arrived around 3 on a Friday.

Love this place but everytime we go they’re blasting very weird dubstep music which totally ruins it!
