The Qui Korean BBQ & BAR | Korean BBQ Fairfax, VA

Great Korean BBQ spot! The meat was fresh and flavourful, especially the bulgogi and seafood. Tons of tasty side dishes, and grilling at the table made it super fun. Staff were friendly and helpful. Perfect for groups or a casual night out. Highly recommend!

The karaage is actually quite good - crispy but also tender probably the best karaage I had in a while. Their steamed egg is quite big too. Their meats were standard kbbq meats which were decent but their sides are exceptional.

A bit on the pricier end because the better tasting meats are on their Premium AYCE menu ($50+/person)! Meats are very juicy, very tender, very yummy 😍 We thoroughly enjoyed the Rib Fingers, LA Galbi, and Pork Belly. Only complaint was that their beef brisket was a bit tough and dry, more on the leaner side (based on preference really).

Their sides are pretty good too, not common sides that I'd usually see from other kbbq places, like buldak, chapagetti, gyoza, and karaage. My friend recommended their Buldak Carbonara, which came in a huge black bowl LOL. The portion size was enough to feed 2-3 people, and good to eat during the downtime in between meats and changing the grill hehe

Overall a good experience, would come here again

This KBBQ spot has completely transformed since the new owner took over—honestly, it feels like a hidden gem now. Everything from the food to the service has improved dramatically. We went with the premium option, and it was absolutely worth every penny. The quality and selection of meats were top-tier—tender, flavorful, and perfectly marbled.

Our server, Jay, made the experience even better. He was incredibly kind, attentive, and helpful the entire time. He made sure everything was cooked just right and never let our grill or side dishes run low. The service felt genuinely thoughtful without being too much.
What really stood out were the sides. And the fact that they include buldak noodles as part of the sides? Huge win.
Between the upgraded service, premium meat selection, and creative sides, this place is totally worth visiting especially if you haven’t been since the new management stepped in. You’ll definitely notice the difference, and you won’t regret splurging a little for the premium set.

Absolutely love Qui, it’s my number one kbbq spot but they’ve definitely lost a star after switching out their sauce (the Gochujang type one). If you’re gona switch out a sauce I think it should atleast taste similar or be the same consistency. This one is grainy and doesn’t even taste good. Definitely took away from the experience. It also looks like tomato sauce. Other than that, my experience there is always amazing. Pls switch back the sauce lol

Make sure to read the menu carefully before visiting. Premium meats are limited to one order per person, and unfortunately, lobster is not included among the premium options. The food itself was average at best, but the service was disappointing. We repeatedly received items we didn’t order, while some items we requested never arrived, even after multiple reminders. Overall, it was a frustrating experience.

I was a regular here however in the spans of just 6 days the menu has changed and the sauces are no longer the same, wasted my time and money coming to eat here tonight.

Qui KBBQ serves up really good quality meat—tender, flavorful, and cooked just right. You can tell they prioritize the quality of their cuts. The only downside is the sides; they could use a bit more variety and flavor. Still, for the meat alone, it’s worth a visit!

Nothing mouthwatering here. Be careful with the wording for menu options A and B. Menu B limits the extra options you pay for. Menu C is for true gluttony and unlimited options. Again, nothing special here. They also do not allow a table for 2 if only one person eats and the other is accompanying. Pay full price for 2 people just to be seated, but only 1 person eats the entire time

This was the first time I've ever had Korean BBQ and the waiter was very patient, knowledgeable, and pleasant to talk to. He made many suggestions and I was pleasantly surprised to love everything he brought me. Made the whole experience enjoyable.

I was visiting from out of town and remarked to one of the other staff members that I'll have to find a good Korean BBQ spot when I get home and they where quick to make recommendations and load me up with Korean snacks/chips/drinks for the road which where delicious.

Thanks again and if your in the area give them a try.

Did the Combo 1 AYCE option and the food/quality isn’t as good as before. Overpriced and not even the side dishes were that good. There are definitely other better KBBQ options in the area.
