So delicious. Definitely do the all you can eat option. Seungyun is great and super attentive. Tip him extra!

It’s hands down our favorite K-BBQ spot in the NCR. Wear loose fitting clothes, and an appetite ?

WE WON’T COME BACK TO SUFFER FROM THIS KIND OF “SERVICE”. The service made us unhappy and lost appetite at all. The waitress seemed short of training and the restaurant served food in random amounts. It felt like the waitress was unhappy about us asking for next round of food. The check can only be split into two.The waitress was unhappy for unknown reason. She didn’t respond actively, and we have to call they again and again. Sometimes she showed up to help us cut the meat, then sometimes not. It wasted our time but also hers. I don’t understand why she didn’t want to make everyone happy and get more tips.The amount of food is random. We called two servings of beef brisket, and it turned out to be less than the one serving we asked last round.

Food itself was awesome. All you can eat has variety of meat that I can choose from, also includes complementary rice, ramen, and several side dishes so I’m super happy with that. If it gets busy, the service tends to get a little bit slower. However, with the food quality and taste, I’d visit again.

We have eaten a number of Korean BBQ in the DMV and all were quite similar. This establishment is a definite outlier. The quality of the cut is subpar and quite a chew. I hope they improve ⁹

(Delayed review)If you don't know much about authentic Korean cuisine and flavors, then you might enjoy this AYCE experience. But as a Korean after the one visit, I was so disappointed that this is what "Korean BBQ" has come to in this area. We opted for individual servings of a pork and beef dish. The marinade was very americanized, and the cuts of meat were awful. We had to make a complaint because half of the serving was all fat. The side salt&pepper sesame oil dip was also stale. The pork marinade just seemed old too and there just was way too much pepper.None of the flavors reminded us anything of Korean BBQ. This was an attempt to mimic Korean BBQ at best. We also ordered the dwenjangjjigae (soy bean paste soup) and were sorely disppointed. It didn't taste anything close to what it should taste like. It tasted watered down and you could see the oil pools on the surface (not normal for this soup). This was closer to the soft tofu soups (which is nothing like soy bean paste soup).If you are Korean or have experienced true Korean BBQ, this place is not it. The service was all over the place as well. Because of the high backs on the booth it was difficult to get the attention of any of the servers. Our server didn't come to take our order for quite some time. A table that sat much after us got served before we did. The interior looks nice on the surface, but definitely feels poorly constructed and the seats are not too comfortable.

Never trust the star ratings on Google. If you say “All you can eat,” it’s worth a visit. $40 per person isn't bad, but the combo menu is the worst. They give you the same meat as the one in All you can, but the price is a premium. In New Jersey and New York, you can get really high-quality meat for a combo menu priced in the $100 range. However, the prices here are the same as in New Jersey, but the meat quality is very poor. The menu I ordered was Medium Combo. I ordered three pork ribs and a sirloin, and the sirloin was the lowest quality meat that would be used to make cheap tacos in rural Mexico. First of all, the pork ribs seem to be from the neck sirloin, not the ribs, and they are so salty and sweet that it looks like they just gave the meat served at All you can eat. The atmosphere was young, so it was nice. Oh, one thing that surprised me was that soju was $18. The price of soju has never gone up, so why is soju priced at $18 here? It is said that among Koreatowns in the US, LA and New York have the highest prices. There is no place in LA or New York where soju is $18, so I wonder what kind of guts they have here to charge $18. One good thing about this store is that all the workers are young and friendly.

Had unplanned korean bbq in this place. We always see this whenever in the area but we only tried once. We chose the Option B and I also highly suggest it. The meat looks of good quality.We initially opted for the additional +$10 bottomless beer and wine but we wanted soju bombs. It was nice for our server to suggest not to get the bottomless since it would be cheaper for us. My bf loved the pasta salad too. Plenty of parking but during busy times it could be hectic.

So excited about this spot opening in Springfield. Very reasonably priced for all you can eat. Loved the selection of meats and seafood. The soups were extremely tasty. Fun interactive food experience ?

Service slow, so if you are done with the food, then you may have to wait before ordering. Beware that the all you can eat is limited to 90 minutes so the wait impacts how much you can get. Food is decent. Not sure if the $10 all you could drink beer and wine is worth it. See the taps in the front of the screen so in you know what beers they carry but they refuse to show you what wines they serve, so it's probably cheap. They have these long vents at the table to take out the smoke, but then it hampers your conversation across the table. You come out still reeking of food and smoke, but it's not as strong as other restaurants; but it is part of the experience. Limited parking out front, so park across the street by the dollar store and post office.

It's a little more expensive compared to other places but their all-you-can-drink special is where you will make back your money for some high-quality meat and sides. also has the best salad dressing for the side salad

Great place to enjoy Korean BBQ. Well decorated with very friendly and attentive staff. Food was awesome, the appetizers were great and the sirloin steak actually came whole! We were used to the steak being pre-cut, so that was a cool change of pace.The all-you-can-eat special is well worth it and you can add bottomless beers or wine for a small extra charge. Would absolutely recommend trying.
