As someone who lived in Korea for 2 years, I’m very happy I found this place. Great tasting food and simple to understand menu. If you never had Korean food before, this is an excellent place to start with a small bowl. Please give it a chance and ask the staff for their recommendations on what to order and try.

Kid-friendliness: They have a kid friendly tiger mascot. The small bowl is perfect size for kids as well

Parking: Small parking lot, but always able to find a spot.

Quick and decent food. Recommend for a quick and nice fast food Korean. They also have Vegan option which I really appreciated.

Yum!! I got the noodles with bulgulgi meat and the mild sauce. I got a side of Kimchi and it was amazing. The meal had a bit of a bite but was not too spicy. Will certainly be back.

Welp guys this was my first time trying Koren BBQ and MANNNN !!! This place rocks, I’ve been craving it every since. I really can’t tell you what I had, I just went with a small and added everything that I had a taste for at the time!!! But this baby was packed with flavor and the meat was super tender. Guys if your in the area….JUST GO THERE &.THANK ME LATER ✌?

Yum! The only reason i rated food 4 out of 5 was because the chicken teriyaki was supposed to be sweet so she for my lil ones, but it had a slight kick some minutes after swallowing. My spouse tested the chicken, unsure why our child was complaining "spicy".I loved my bulgogi with kimchi over rice. My dude said should've ordered bulgogi for the kids, since it wasn't spicy. I thought the chicken would be easier to eat for them.Still, i personally found the chicken teriyaki yum! It's not just the teriyaki flavor you get from bottled marinade. There's a certain depth of flavor after.They didn't like the fried dumpling. Also there was no dipping sauce for it?I would defo go back of i was in the area and looking for a quick yet tasty meal.

Kid-friendliness: Staff was friendly and didn't mind my noisy kids. They had kinda high chairs if needed.

Food is fantastic! I ordered Kodak on fried rice with some veggies. Used Itawon sauce. Unbelieveable. Chicken tender,plentiful but the rice was OMG good.Also got beef short ribs on noodles. Delicious,tender, noodles thick with tad of spicy.They have various yummy sauces too.

Great place for a quick and tasty meal. You start your order on the right-side and work your way left. You can choose from a variety of carbs, meats, sauces, and veggies. I had the noodles, which were mildy spicy, with my pick of veggies, bulgogi beef, and Itaewon sauce - also mildly spicy. It was very filling and tasted great! Locations is good, too, and walkable from campus.

Wow. I have never been to this area before but when you’re a busy college student and need something fast for lunch so you can go back to studying, you don’t have time to wait sometimes. The service was quick and the food was hot and it was mild spicy too and since it was a rainy day it was perfect. I really liked it. I will be coming back for the noodles and bulgogi meat!

I ate here one day on a whim & quickly found out there’s no unsatisfying combination like other made-to-order/ barsvtyle restaurants.Even on my off days it’s completely worth it 30 minute drive because they always meet the mark.

Quick kbbq bowls (you don't cook the meat yourself). Pretty cheap, tastes legit, potentially healthy depending on what you get in bowl. Would go again.

At Itaewon Grill, the meal is what you make it! Load up on toppings, veg, sauces and meat. The portions are great, and they always seem to serve well. I like the Itaewon sauce (hint of spice) and garlic. The Sesame has a bit sweet flavoring and matches well with other flavors. The beef bulgogi has the best flavor of the meats, and has always been served warm in my experience. Mixing everything together makes the dish! Def try out different combos to see what your favorite is.

So I decided to try Itaewon after searching google for a high rated Korean bbq place since I haven’t been able to find many good places around this area. I had the large sized bowl with fried rice, edamame, sweet corn, bulgogi, and fried chicken. It was all really good! The downside is that my food was extremely cold. Like not warm at all. Other than the rice. That really kind of put a damper on my eating experience, especially being that it’s a chilly windy day and I was really looking forward to a hot bowl of comfort food. I would recommend this place, but only if I could ensure that the food was going to be hot and fresh once I got it. Maybe get it to go and warm it up at home?

Well worth a visit. I chose to dine-in, and was pleased. Order your base, then your vegetable choices, then sauce, and lastly protein.Also their wings are tasty if you get them before they run out.The staff was friendly and helpful, don't hesitate to ask questions.No photos from this visit, but I will return again and will have some then.

This spot has good food. I strayed from my normal bulgogi order and for chicken instead which wasn't bad. The sauce is a little spicier than I thought but didn't upset my stomach terribly. Tasted my wife's bulgogi and knew I should stick with what I like. It was great!
