This restaurant was so great that it deserve an official recognition. I highly highly suggest this restaurant. Service, food quality and everything you expect from a restaurant was amazing. Special thanks to our servers who made our night special.

Outstanding spot for Korean bbq in an upscale setting. Despite its unassuming exterior, this place has a beautifully minimalist atmosphere, excellent service, and a great deal on a prix fixe menu of plenty of sides and a rotating selection of meats. Don’t skip the cocktails - they’re amazingly creative and very photogenic!

Yeah, we attended this restaurant during Restaurant week where a prefix menu was $65 per person. The atmosphere on arrival was busy. The environment looks like a fortune 500 cafeteria serving a continental breakfast or a dining hall on a Carnival cruise ship. The service was nice maybe a bit brief and abrupt. It seemed like they were quick to get us out of the restaurant and the entire dining experience lasted about an hour and a half. We were started with a salad and some accoutrements, including kimchi and broccoli. These were fine. Next, we were given a small radish crab roll bite as the moose bush which again was OK, nothing to write home about.

For the next course we received a mountain of lettuce in a very strong and voluminous dressing with salmon. The salmon was great. Overall, the salad was one of our favorite dishes of the night.

Next started the grilling portion of the evening. A pound of beef was delivered to the table on an ice cold plate, producing a cloud of steam that the waiter wanted us to take pictures of. We didn’t take any pictures. He then returned and placed the first pile of meat onto the grill. It was cooked to perfection. A number of team members there were cooking our food. There were multiple courses of different cuts of meat, including short rib and a marinated skirt steak. These were very fatty cuts of Wagyu beef and were quite good. The was not considered to be enough meat for an adult male to share with an adult female. The adult male preferred significantly more meat, and wished that it had been doubled. As such, you can imagine that the value for money was not excellent. The traditional price of this restaurant is $79 per person. Unfortunately, the coursing of the meal that we had was inadequate, and our main courses were supposed to arrive while the meat was still being grilled however, it arrived after we had finished the meat course. We received a spicy seafood and beef soup as well as a cold soba noodle with spicy sauce. These were average at best. The flavor was quite lacking, especially after such robust and quite delicious meat course. I forgot to mention the sauces that accompany the meat were quite flavorful. A cleaning service was performed at this point with removal of plates into a cart that held all sorts of dirty dishes, and our table was wiped with a strongly scented cleaning solution. To say this spoiled our taste for dessert would be an understatement. At the conclusion of our somewhat inadequate meal we received dessert, one Yuzu cheesecake, which tasted like it came from a freezer and was about two bites big and an odd blueberry dish that was basically a cold pastry stuffed with a bland cream and covered with frozen blueberries that have been thawed

Would not return.

Awesome KBBQ! Great value for an upscale place, and the cocktails were super creative 👍🏽

Ingel Korean Steakhouse was a very special and rewarding experience. I took my son and his wife for a birthday dinner. The service was exceptional the beef tender and juicy, the sides were to die for. Dessert was as favorable as articsly beautiful. The wine selection was very nice. We had an exceptional birthday dinner and a very happy family.

Quite possibly the best Korean spot in all of DMV. My husband and I have tried hundreds of locations, and this one stands out the most. Amazing hospitality, such high quality and clean food, and a beautiful designed restaurant. There is literally no bad dish here. Everything is curated with so much care and perfection, and I already want to go back. Couldn’t recommend a better place.

Had a good experience at Ingle Korean Steakhouse—the food was high quality, especially the meats, and the staff was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The ambiance was stylish and comfortable, which added to the overall vibe. That said, for the price point, I expected a bit more in terms of portion size or overall value. It’s definitely a nice spot for a treat or special occasion, but probably not something I’d do regularly. Still, worth trying if you're into KBBQ.

One of the best Korean steak house I’ve ever been to. High quality meats, great variety of appetizers, good savory dishes selection, and most delicious desserts. In Korean BBQ, I usually don’t like server to grill meats for us as it usually was overcooked but here was totally different, server asked you what temperature of meats you liked and they cooked to perfection, excellent service with great atmosphere. Definitely will come back again and again, highly recommended.

First time visiting Ingle Korean Steakhouse. Three of us had lunch (two adults and one child). We ordered two lunch prix fixe menus along with a few side dishes. The portions were generous, and the food was excellent—very high-quality meat. Service was five-star. We would definitely come back.

MIGGY was the highlight of my experience here. I know, I know, the food is and should be the main reason for a review, and don't get me wrong, the quality of the meat was probably the best I've ever had, but our server Miggy outshined from the beginning to the end, every step of the way, he was phenomenal. From impeccable timing to having the knowledge on how to properly cook the meat, no intruding, but was down to earth, overall great.
He made us feel welcomed, like family, and was very informative regarding the foods he would cook and/or the food that was given to us.
When it came as separate food and service, individually they were one of the best. However, if both were being factored at the same time, then I would say this restaurant provided, overall the best food/service combo for KBBQ.

Great food, when you can get in the service is good, but they were super slow to seat you. A couple times they left me standing there so long that I left and went elsewhere. The galbi, zabuton, and cheese corn were good; the asparagus was meh.
