Makchang Dodook K-BBQ

Pleasant experience

I recently visited Makchang Dodok K-BBQ, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. They made us feel right at home, walking us through the menu and offering helpful suggestions for first-timers. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience for their guests.

The service was fast and efficient without feeling rushed. Our server kept checking in to make sure everything was cooked to our liking and that our drinks and side dishes were always full. It’s rare to find such a friendly and professional team at a busy restaurant, and they truly stood out.

As for the food—delicious! The meats were fresh and flavorful, and the signature makchang (beef or pork intestine) was perfectly prepared with that satisfying char. If you’re a fan of authentic Korean BBQ, this place delivers both in taste and atmosphere.

Highly recommend for a casual night out, a group dinner, or anyone looking to try something new with excellent service to match. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Makchang Dodook in Springfield is hands down one of the best Korean BBQ spots in the area. The quality of the meats is top-notch, especially the signature makchang (beef or pork intestines), which is prepared perfectly—crispy on the outside and tender inside. The seasoning and marinades are authentic, and the side dishes are always fresh and flavorful. The staff is attentive and quick to help with grilling if you need it, which makes for a smooth and enjoyable dining experience.

The AYCE (All You Can Eat) menu offers a wide variety and great value overall. However, the one downside is the pricing for certain add-on options, which feels a bit steep compared to the base AYCE price. That said, it’s still worth it for a special treat if you’re craving something unique.

If you’re a fan of Korean BBQ or curious to try makchang, this place is definitely worth a visit!

This is a great Korean bbq spot near the Springfield mall. The Gochujang Pork Belly is a must try item. High quality food and the service was exceptional. Thank you Tran for a wonderful evening!

Used to be my favorite Korean barbecue ever, even though they later on added a 90-min time limit, the service declines over time, they increased their price for multiple times and very soon became one of the most expensive K-bbq in the area - we kept going back. However recently they changed their menu again, making it way too complicated, skyrocketed price ($85 per person and have to include alcohol?!) and is essentially no longer all you can eat anymore. Very sad to lose my favorite restaurant. Looking at the menu just gets me more and more upset.

Nice bbq place you ever go to.
