Great all you can eat. Weekday lunch wasn't busy and staff was helpful

Can’t say enough good things about the food here. The soy garlic pork is my go to. They cook the meat to perfection.

Is the best Korean bbq of all DMV. The food, the service, the ice coffee, everything is so good! So kindly with the kids!

We had a table of 6 reserved for Father’s Day, June 15, 2025. We chose this particular restaurant because of the write ups in the Washingtonian magazine, although they had not been recognized in a few years. First thing I noticed was how cramped the area felt and that the floors were extremely sticky. We were seated directly across from the reception area and the path to the exit, so ppl were constantly coming and going, bumping and brushing past us. You sit on stools that are pretty low and the leather or material was extremely cracked and damaged which ended up snagging my pants. We all got the $38/person all you can eat meal and purchased several beverages and drinks. We were given two small bowls of soup and scrambled eggs to share among six ppl. The portions they prepared were not enough for our entire table which eats away at your 90 minute limit to eat. We asked for vegetables and was given two small florets of broccoli and one large mushroom. We asked for a second portion of vegetables which we had to send back as the broccoli was yellowing and browning. You could see where they had tried to cut the bad portions off. We elected to have our food prepared by a server. This was a mistake! He was also serving several other tables and a few of our meats were very over cooked. I started to cook the meat myself and even serving until he would return. My father ordered pig intestines. The server put them on and left the table. The food started to pop grease everywhere and burned my son and I. We didn’t know what to do because we would get popped by the grease if we reached to try and take it off. No one was at the reception desk at the time. Flames started shooting out from under the heating element and thick smoke engulfed our table. Someone who I believe was the manager came over and turned the flames off. The server came, switched the metal cook plates and turned it back on. Again, the manager had to come adjust the temperature because again, the server left and the food was cooking too rapidly. The food was absolutely charred by the time they took it off and was disgusting! I have grease stains on my clothes and no one asked how we were, really apologized, or even offered to recook the charred food. In fact, we were reminded that our time was almost up. We were very patient and never were we loud, rude or obnoxious in any way. We didn’t even complain. I just wanted to get out of there. We all smelled of smoke and I felt that this ruined Father’s Day for my 84 year old dad! I would never recommend this particular restaurant to anyone! We were charged $51 in gratuity for an absent server, burned food, grease stains, smoke inhalation, bad vegetables and for getting pooped with hot oil!!! This was my first Korean barbecue experience and I am now totally turned off from experiencing it again.

Very disappointed this time dinning here. We came here to celebrate my husband birthday expecting to have good experience like the last time we came. However everything was very bad. The quality of the food decreased badly, the taste and freshness is not the same.
The ambience is very humid and hot, the ventilation is not working good.
Specially the kimchi soup we orderer was very salty, we added lot of water for it but still cannot eat, we ask for a return but the manager refuse to do so. We wanted to order some more food, however the way how they solve the problem put us off, so we just order the bill.
Will never come back.

"Really the food doesn't taste much to my opinion... people are very rough... they're not kind at all and almost at the end of the hour and they told us we had to go pork... the next reservation was ready... that we had to go out... I think they weren't the right ways and people aren't kind at all."

This Korean BBQ place had the expected sides, though the ventilation could have been improved. The food was good, but it was disappointing on how covid seems to have been forgotten here. This place is definitely designed for groups but I was not provided with extra utensils for the group to share. This lead to an uncomfortable situation. The innovative chair design was brilliant and effective in reducing BBQ smells from clinging to jackets. I haven't came across a place with similar chair experience. As for service, it was okay.

Overall, I didn't have a good experience and I would suggest going elsewhere.

My go to for Korean BBQ in the DMV

I'd never been to a Korean BBQ so I was unsure of what to expect, but it was fun. The food was good especially the pork belly. The sides were plentiful, the serving sizes large and the food was delicious! The only thing I didn't like was how noisy the place was. It's fine for an afternoon out with family and friends but I wouldn't bring a date here because conversation was difficult.

It was a very nice experience. We had the Beef combo and all the meat was tender. The environment and service are very nice. The waiters are friendly and attentive. Thank you.
