Chadol Korean BBQ

Fantastic food and environment. We've been a few times since the start of the year and this place never disappoints. The all you can eat is such a good deal for the area. Don't skip the top blade and the seasoned pork jowl - they're so ridiculously tasty. All the servers have been wonderful and we've never had to wait more than 20 minutes for a table. Do be mindful that there's a huge gym around the corner so parking can be tough immediately after work when everyone goes to the gym.

Chadol in Rockville is a great choice if you’re craving Korean BBQ and want to go all in.The all-you-can-eat option is absolutely worth the price, especially if you show up with a serious appetite. We ordered pork belly, spicy ramen, seasoned top blade steak (my personal favorite), soy top blade steak, soy chicken, and soybean soup. The soy chicken and soybean soup were the only items that came prepared—everything else was grilled right at the table, which added to the experience. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 for a few reasons. First, the policy that the entire table must order AYCE—even if one person prefers à la carte—feels a bit restrictive and doesn’t offer much flexibility for mixed dining preferences. Second, while understandable, the à la carte charge for leftovers beyond one order might feel a bit rigid, especially for groups trying new dishes or sharing. Lastly, I’ve had more flavorful sauces, side dishes, and garnishes at other Korean BBQ spots—these felt more basic in comparison. Still, the meat quality is solid, and it’s a fun, satisfying meal if you come hungry and plan accordingly.

This was the best korean bbq restaurant I’ve ever visited ! They offer a wide selection of foods including various meats, ramen, fried dumplings, and other side dishes included in the all you can eat menu. The portions were remarkable ! Additionally, they offer exotic cocktails; I highly recommend the screwbar strawberry cocktail. I was impressed with the spacious atmosphere that seats many parties comfortably. Our server Lally had a friendly, helpful demeanor making for an even better experience here at Chadol. The service was 10/10, highly recommend.

We visited based on reviews, but were disappointed. Our group of 10 opted for a la carte, as recommended by the waiter. Unfortunately, the tiny sides and average Korean BBQ didn't impress. Also what's with the tiny drops of dipping sauce? I could not believe how little sauce there was! Friendly service, but not enough to make up for the lackluster food. Wouldn't recommend

Chadol is one of the better options for Korean BBQ in the Rockville area. They don't offer an AYCE option, so go in knowing that, but the quality of the meat definitely matches the prices. The menu is a bit limited, but everything they do offer is solid. The drink menu sounded creative, which convinced me to try a cocktail, but I didn’t feel like getting a second one — they look better on the menu than they actually taste. Service here can be pretty inconsistent, depending on the day and the server. It's a nice spot for pretty much any occasion — casual dinners, celebrations, or even a date night.

Chadol provides a satisfying all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ experience with quality meats and a clean, modern vibe. The meat was fresh and well-seasoned — especially enjoyed the brisket. Service was really good as well. The price is definitely on the higher end compared to other AYCE spots, so it’s more of a treat-yourself experience than a casual weekday dinner.

Beautiful place. Quiet enough to have a conversation with a lot of people. The service and food a delicious and a lot! It's a bit pricey but it's worth the experience and a great opportunity to taste new things and it's also a lot of food. My party went with all you can eat and we were all stuffed at the end.

For my first Korean BBQ, the vibe was terrific! Luckily, I had someone in my group who has been before so the cooking was pre-designated 💀 Thinking of a good date spot? I'd recommend on atmosphere alone, roughly $100 for 2 people and service was on point👌. Def will return with a worthy shawty💯

Let's start with the service... FABULOUS! From the moment we walked in we waited no longer than 2 minutes to talk to someone. Our waitress was checking up on us very chance she got, answering every question with a smile! The food.... F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S! As a fist time Korean BBQ eater, I was not sure what to expect! I tried a little bit of everything, and was pleasantly surprised with each bite! Definitely coming back again :)

Very great service. Will was very funny. Very welcoming and beautiful atmosphere. Not to mention the phenomenal food. Will be back again.

Just had dinner here about week and a half ago and it was amazing, cant stop thinking about it! Our server Leo took such great care of us. A few friends and I were out celebrating, and they made the night even better. The food came out super fast, even though we ordered what felt like 100 rounds of brisket, it was always fresh and so juicy. The pork belly was also top notch and cooked perfect. Service was incredible all around. We're already planning our next visit, definitely a new go-to spot! Also wanted to add, normally the other KBBQ places I go have really bad bathrooms, like that one all you can eat one in rockvile is alwasy dirty and low on soap, but these bathrooms were clean, plesant suprise, but very welcome.

We have dined here a few times and will keep coming back. We love the unlimited banchan. The first couple times, we ordered the premium combo for 3-4 for a party of 6 and it was plenty. But we realized our favorites are the brisket and marinated short rib. So this last time, we ordered a la carte. Our server recommended we just start out with a few and then add on as we go if we want more. We ended up being satisfied after just our initial order so he saved us from over ordering and we realized that dining at Chadol is pretty reasonable price wise. The servers are always friendly and helpful - especially when we ask for refills. And we also enjoyed the seafood pancake. I do find the restaurant a bit dark in the lighting. If it's still bright outside after we are done, my eyes hurt having to adjust from the darkness. Tip: if it's someone's birthday, they will give you 2 free ice cream mochi and a shot of some sort of Korean sake. Will be back!

We had a reservation for 7 but they canceled it because someone dropped out last minute, which is fair but then we had to wait 50 minutes before we could get seated and they kept telling us 10 minutes. Better meat quality than probably 50% of other all you can eat Korean barbecue places, but their service was so slow. At six people at a table they limited us to three plate plates per order at a time and we had to finish "a good amount of it" before we could order again according to our server. Our server told us to get the chicken and I have never gotten chicken at KBBQ. It was middle of the road but better than other places. Still, don't get it. I was still hungry and they made sure to kick us out after 90 minutes. They are very strict with the time constraint and they were heavily understaffed to be able to get our 3-plate maximum order at a time. I have never eaten more than half a bowl of rice at an all you can eat Korean barbecue, but I finished my rice because I was still hungry. They did not refill the banchan even. I really wanted to love this place because it had so many high ratings, but it just wasn't it, ESPECIALLY FOR 50+ per person (auto gratuity and tax included). It was frustrating.

Tuesday 4/8/2025 I've had this spot on my list for a while, and I always see this spot when I go to the One Life Rockville gym. My good friend Jared recommended this spot for dinner, so I moved it to the top of the list. I don't go to Korean bbq spots very often (this is maybe my 2nd or 3rd time), so I'd say I'm relatively newer to it. We got the all-you-can-eat dinner for $41.51, where you had unlimited servings to choose from meats like beef, chicken, and pork, sides, and seafood. The service was good: the waitress gave us recommendations and explained what everything was. You have a 90-minute limit for your time at the spot, and fortunately, we were able to stay for 3 hours with no problem, so shoutout to our waitress. I tried nearly everything except for the chicken, as the waitress and my friend both said it wasn't worth it. The beef was the best, the pork was a mixed experience, and the seafood: shrimp was alright, but I did not enjoy the experience of deshelling it. I made tiers of every item I had and ranked them based on whether I would get them again: Yeah: - Dumpling (had 3x orders of it) - white rice - Spicy brisket (had 2x orders of it) - Seasoned top blade steak - Brisket - Bulgogi - Spicy bulgogi Maybe: - Pork bulgogi - Soy top blade steak - Spicy top blade steak Nah: - Korean ramen - Korean spicy ramen - Soy bean soup - Seasoned pork chowl - Pork shoulder - Regular pork belly - Curry pork belly - Butter whole shrimp - Spicy butter garlic shrimp - Butter garlic shrimp I tend to feel overwhelmed at these types of spots, but now that I actually know what I like at Korean bbq spots, I can definitely see myself coming back and enjoying the experience even more.

I'm going to sound like such a weirdo for saying this, but the vibes are incredibly sensual. This is the perfect place to bring a date for Korean. The seating, the decor, even the menu is beautiful. The lighting is dim and oh so pretty. Now let's get to the make or break...the food. We ordered AYCE dinner, and opted for the brisket and top blade steak. Exceptional quality as the meat tasted good without sauce (just a little salt/pepper). We were brought a pink sauce (absolutely delicious) and another that was sweet/sour. The portions weren't large but the perfect amount, and our waiter was kind enough to bring me a bowl of plain lettuce. I'm one of those people who loves to eat meat with an obscene amount of lettuce. I also ordered a bowl of the ramen and would give it a solid 2/5. It tasted like packaged ramen from the Asian store. Not bad at all, but I was expecting something with a little extra jazz. The banchan we tried wasn't amazing, but it wasn't bad. I'm unsure as to what each one is called, so this will be based on description. The potatoes and pickled radish were good, but on the sweeter side. I did not like the fish cakes and the kimchi was so/so. This is personal preference, as I'm sure someone else might say they had the perfect bite. I enjoyed the rice. We didn't order drinks but I was tempted to, especially when waiters walked by carrying one. They were beautifully crafted. My only "complaint"? They didn't have a sauce bar, but this isn't a place that would look good with a sauce bar. It would throw off the entire vibe, so instead a range of sauces to offer would make up for it. They could also have some black vinegar on hand. Overall, a solid 4/5. Lovely experience :) **PS- Parking is a bit tight, so factor in time for that or get dropped off. The gym is directly across. ***PPS- There might be an AYCE option, but it's not the best for big back activities. It's more medium back. Slightly broad back. Back with a little extra squish.

I honestly wasn't impressed by the meat quality, but the staff were very friendly. The food came out a little bit slow becuase they were understaffed. The panchan was mid and the wait was long. The parking lots were packed. I would recommend going elsewhere.

We visited Chadol in Rockville for Korean BBQ on a Friday night. They offer AYCE and a la carte options (even some that aren't listed on the menu). Service: The wait was 35-45 minutes to get seated, which was expected for a busy Friday night. When we sat down at 9 PM, the staff clearly mentioned that they close in an hour--fair enough, since we weren't doing AYCE. Food: The meat quality looked great, but the grill was a major issue. Even on the lowest setting, it was way too hot, burning everything before we could cook it properly. It really took away from the experience. The banchan (side dishes) were delicious. We kept asking for more. Overall, I'd be open to trying it again, but only if they can better control the grill heat.

I went to Chadol for a weeknight dinner and was not disappointed. I ordered from the all you can eat menu and got pork belly, brisket, and shrimp among other things. At most all you can eat Korean BBQ places you end up sacrificing quality of meat for the all you can eat option, but not at Chadol! Chadol has both a wide selection, good quality cuts of meat and a decent price. The service was great with the waiter asking whether we have had Korean BBQ before and accessing our comfort with cooking ourselves. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and the dining room isn't loud enough that you can't hear the people you're sitting with. Overall, I think Chadol is one of the best all you can eat Korean BBQ restaurants in the area.

4.5/5 but gave a 4 since I can't do 1/2 Went here for a small birthday celebration on a Monday evening as walk-in since we were able to make reservations. Located in a shopping center with ample free parking. We got the AYCE options which was slightly on the pricier side. The brisket and top blade steak were the best. Our server Lynn was very attentive and constantly checked on us, helped us cook, and very prompted with bringing us whatever we needed. I found it interesting that whatever grill they had caused us they not needing to change the grill at all and their range was working really well. Rare that we leave KBBQ not smelling like meat. I wasn't blown away but would definitely come back for another kbbq dinner.

My friends and I got here around 7:30 on a Tuesday evening, and there was a wait of up to 30 minutes. It was definitely the dinner rush because it slowed down a lot about an hour later. Chadol has a great selection of quality meats and options to pick from AYCE or a la carte which is great! We picked the AYCE option and loved everything we ordered. You can also order a soup and a few sides like fried dumplings too. Sauces were good. I'm not sure what the pink sauce was, but it was sweet. Service was great too and very helpful if we had any questions about the menu. The parking situation was kind of a nightmare. You would think a lot that big would provide plenty of parking, but it took a while to keep circling around to find a spot fyi.

I've been coming back here more often as it is really close to my home. Before they had ala carte pricing, but now, they do also offer an AYCE offering. Guess they have to compete with all of the other AYCE places, especially the hot pot places (so many in Rockville!) that has bbq grills too. Sad to see Honey Pig vacate Montgomery County, but glad to be coming back here for my kbbq fix. The AYCE menu is fine, except its missing the kalbi. For that, we do order it separately. The lighting here is much brighter now, which is most welcomed and the service here has vastly improved through out these years. The quality of meats and the marinade for their galbi you can't beat. I wish they brought back the larger soups and egg dish, as both come out in such small bowls. At least you get a hot bowl for the egg dish, unlike Iron Age, where you have to cook it on the grill (occupies some valuable space!).

KBBQ is everywhere these days and that includes what I'll call north Rockville. We don't usually frequent Rockville for KBBQ but meeting family for dinner and they want AYCE. Personally I prefer a la carte as the quality of the meat is much better but hey, let's see what the AYCE is like here. I'd say Chadol is a bit more upscale then the typical KBBQ joints with lots of exposed pipes, stainless steel, K-Pop music blasting etc. Definitely better for families. As for the AYCE it's pretty much the usual. You can choose from different beef, pork amd chicken cuts as well as shrimp. Personally I prefer the pork jowl, the marinated beef and the brisket. The beef cuts could be of better quality but hey it's par for the course. The shrimp has garlic butter on it and the shell. You don't cook the shrimp on the grill but leave it in the container and steam it...weird. Lastly, our server never cooked any of the meats. He brought out the food and set it in the table. I usually don't really care about this but Chadol tacks on a 20% tip to the bill (we had a party of 8) so I'm not sure why we tip 20%?? Yeah, not too happy about that. On the positive side, I thought the Bibim Nayongmyeon was tasty amd the Haemul Pajeon was fried nicely with a good amount of seafood. Perhaps a la carte ordering is the way to go. 3-3.5 stars is the verdict.

The food here was very good but I'm so, so horribly dissapointed with our experience here. I came here with eight people for one of the parties birthday. Online, it gives no information on being able to book a reservation. I scoured the website back and forth, looked at their Instagram, and looked at reviews and nothing. Most kbbq places won't let you place a reservation so I assumed okay, sure. They weren't even open til 4 so I couldn't call. We arrived, and we were not able to get a large table because we didn't "reserve one" (which fine, but they give NO info on this.) So they sat us next to each other in back to back booths, and STILL charged us as a group. We didn't even share anything. It just felt like insult to injury because we couldn't even talk to each other without shouting across 2 tables. I'm sure there's some kind of reason for this, but, with this being a birthday and being split up and then the restaurant being understaffed and slow (our server was very kind though, zero complaints about her) the experience was just really upsetting and after all of this I won't be returning, really really sad birthday experience.

Chadol offers combos of chadol, pork, beef, and even a premium set. You can also order a la carte, soups, and various sides. We ordered: +Chadol (aka, brisket) - this had a great ratio of the meat and the fat! +Ggot Ssahl (aka, boneless short rib) - think of this is like a Korean version of kobe; very well marbled +Yang Myum Galbi )aka, marinated short rib) - great house marinade, and I was surprised at how thick-cut and large of a portion it was from one rib! The banchans were pretty tasty, especially the broccoli, the mashed potatoes, and the peanuts, and they were all refillable. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, with a great sense of humor. I just wished that they didn't press on us in regards to how they believe the temperature of the meats should be cooked and kept on the grill consistently. We had asked our preference and stated what we would like the doneness of each meat would be, multiple times, but it was blatantly ignored. We'd probably ask to cook the meat ourselves the next time. They do have an online reservation system, so take advantage of that. Plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot. +premium cuts of meats +friendly staff +be firm with your requests of the meats' temperature +online reservations available +plenty of parking in the shared plaza lot

Possibly my fav kbbq places in the DMV! Disclaimer I've only gotten the a la carte so can't speak to the AYCE. To start, the seafood pancake here is the best seafood pancake I've ever had in my life. The seafood is cooked to tender perfection and there's plenty in every bite. The corn cheese is also incredible and a must get with every meal. Moving on to the meat, we love the short rib and brisket here. We usually get the set menu that has the two short ribs in it. My friends thought the marinated short rib may be a bit sweet compared to other places but I love it. You can always get the unmarinated version and it's incredible as well. I love the banchan here and the endless refills they bring you (although service can be slow as they are quite busy). In addition the drinks here are super fruity and fun to try. Such good vibes and a great place to hang with friends!

The best Korean BBQ around. It's not even close. The staff is always fast and efficient. Even if there is a bit of a wait it's always reasonable and always worth it. Definitely check this place out.

Did you know that Chadol has All You Can Eat KBBQ? And if you did know... why didn't you tell me!? One of my friends actually threw in a link to a video in our group chat that was spotlighting the Chadol in DC (which was also news to me), and I was like.... uhhh we have one of those in Rockville! Yes... it doesn't have a conveyor belt... but it does certainly have AYCE kbbq which is obviously the most important part. Lunch is $30 Dinner is $40 The selection is pretty great too. For Beef you can choose; Brisket Bulgogi Spicy Bulgogi Top Blade Seasoned/soy/spicy top blade Pork: Pork Belly Seasoned, spicy, curry Pork Belly Pork Shoulder Pork Bulgogi Pork Jowl/ Seasoned Pork Jowl. Then they have some chicken options, some seafood (which are all three shrimp), and it comes with white rice and soy bean soup. All the meats we had were fantastic -living up to Chadol's more premium quality meat selection. The pieces of pork belly were sooo thiccccccc and good. I also got some of the soy chicken (cooked back in the kitchen) which was absolutely delicious. All banchan was delish although I kinda wish they had fishcake ( a favorite of mine), but truly everything was wonderful including the service and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to go back.

The first time I visited Chadol was before they introduced their AYCE menu, but I got to experience things I still love about them like their super friendly service, the cool interior, their banchan, and their meat quality. I've said it before and I do need to say it again -- I am not great at discerning high quality meat. That being said, the meats at Chadol were really nice. They are named for their fatty beef brisket and we love starting an AYCE meal with this quick-to-cook and tender option. Everything we get here is delicious, and we also really appreciate their tasty banchan side dishes and accoutrements for wrapping ssam -- lettuce, pickled radish wraps, doenjang jjigae, and of course rice. They're also very good about bring ssamjang and garlic and jalapenos if you so desire. The service here is really nice! We've always had very friendly servers who are happy to chat with us and recommend drinks, meats, and music if you ask. This is one of the things that sets Chadol apart in Maryland for me, but I will warn that if you don't like chatting with your servers there is a small chance you might find them possibly too friendly, especially if the restaurant isn't too busy. We are really glad to have Chadol as an option in this area because it's now our go-to for Korean BBQ here, and we love being able to get quality AYCE in a nice atmosphere. We have been back and we will be back.

My husband and I have been to Chadol a few times now and it's been a consistently good experience. The AYCE ($42 including tax) offers enough variety of meats, with our favorites being the brisket which is thin and isn't overly fatty, and the soy top blade steak which is juicy and tender. The AYCE also includes the standard bulgogi, a few flavors of pork belly, some seafood dishes, and unlimited banchan side dishes + salad. Soybean soup is included, however, steamed egg costs $7 extra. We've always had decent service, although sometimes our server can seem really busy and a bit flustered. The ambiance is nice with the restaurant being relatively new and clean, and the seating is spacious enough for large parties. Parking is free right outside Chadol, and if the lot directly in front gets too crowded, there are also additional parking lots across the street. I also recommend that large parties take advantage of the reservation system and there is also a virtual waiting list on Yelp.

We used to frequent Chadol on a minimum weekly basis but hadn't been in a while after a bad experience. When we first started going to Chadol a couple of years ago, it was a stand out among Korean BBQ restaurants in MoCo, but I feel like they've since gone downhill. The meat portions have gotten smaller and fattier (not better marbling, but large chunks of fat), while prices continue to increase. The servers used to all be great, but there seems to have been a good amount of turnover. Given how my wife and I went so frequently, we know exactly how much of something we eat, when I asked for that amount to save us and the serve the trouble of asking/bringing the side multiple times, I was told kind of rudely that I'd be given it when I finish the initial amount. I ended up having to wait multiple times during my meal for refills of sauce and sides. No real issues with ambiance, although I do wish they would occasionally clean the layers of grease on the overhead light fixtures.

Been to Chadol twice now. Both times have not been disappointed. Service is great and staff are very attentive and do most of the cooking for you instead of you having to take charge yourself at the table. All the food is seasoned so well; especially, the meats! Even my mom is impressed and she's hard to please. Chadol is a bit on the pricey side but for the quality of meat you get, it can't be eat. There's plenty of seating and having gone on a Saturday night and at lunch during the week, we have always been seated right away. High recommend giving this restaurant a try!

Amazing food and my personal #1 spot! I have been a long time fan and personally enjoy everything from lunch to happy hour here. The food and meat is so high quality and for the price point it is worth every penny. The meat is tender and melts into your mouth. The cheese corn is also a personal favorite and it's cheesy throughout every bite! Personal favorite bites are the curry pork belly! The service each time my friends and I come is usually done by Cyrus and he's the best! I can say the staff truly care here and it shows in everything they do. From cleaning around the restaurant and how nice they are during service it's a breath of fresh air. Will be back!

This is an update to a prior review; came here for dinner and to celebrate my husband's bday two weeks ago. Had a slightly different experience. Ambiance was still nice, the place is clean and there is no smoke, which is great. This was the first time for husband and daughter. I'll start by saying, our server was new so he had to check on everything. Although that didn't bother us that much, he kept constantly coming over to cook our food, after we said we wanted to grill the meats ourselves and that was annoying. At one point he even shut off the grill. Not sure why, but we ended up having to turn it back on again. Then we had to ask for water and sides, several times, before he brought them. We went with the AYCE basic, the meat options were decent. My husband also ordered shrimp and although they looked big and beautifully cooked. He was very disappointed to see that they weren't cleaned and so he couldn't eat any of them. That was disappointing since he was the only eating that at the table and since it was his bday. We wish there were more sides that we actually liked. The sauces were just okay, we asked for bean paste and gochujang which were good. They should provide at least the bean paste as a usual side sauce.

Great KBBQ! I got the a la carte rather than the AYCE and the quality and quantity of the meat cannot be beat for the price. I spent around the same amount of money per person as the AYCE but was able to get a bunch of other appetizers and dishes on the size and we all left incredibly full. The Chadol premium was totally worth it!

Chadol is my go to kbbq spot in MoCo. It strikes the right balance between great quality and value. I prefer going for AYCE as I tend to stuff my face with as much food as I possibly can at kbbq. The meat quality here is excellent and the portions are solid, whether you do AYCE or the preset "For 2" or "For 4" options. The service here is friendly and attentive, something I notice is hit or miss in the more popular kbbq options in VA. I have never had a bad experience during any of the several visits I've had here. The ambiance is dark, but well lit for eating. It makes for a great date spot, family dinner or even business meetings. I really enjoy the dark decor and color choices in the restaurant. All in all, don't hesitate to give Chadol your business. You will not be disappointed!

Service was very good. Enjoyed the barbecue the butter shrimp was not the high point. The boneless short rib was the high point decent side dishes, but not enough.

After years of looking for the best Korean BBQ in the DC area I'm excited to share that the best quality meats (and service) is right here in Rockville. Chadol offers a number of different meat options at the highest quality. We always go for the AYCE option as we're brisket and pork belly lovers, the quality is always as expected and the different sides offered are great.

I made a reservation online, when I came in I was seated in less than 5 minutes. Ambience is the same as Iron Age, dark with ambient lighting. Food is great, I did the AYCE option which was $39 per person for dinner, $29 per person for lunch. Quality of meat and sides were great, all the sides were refilled a bunch of times. I always order brisket whenever I go out for Korean BBQ and this one was good. There were meats that I have not seen at other Korean BBQ spots, for example the Curry Pork Belly which was very tasty. My standout here was their Top Slice Steak. This steak if cooked properly to a medium was melt in your mouth, I had to get it twice b/c it was that good. I have to shoutout my server, Dino. He was super friendly and was very attentive to my table, he came over multiple times even while hosting other tables and he got to know me and my table. He was very personable and you could really feel that he liked his job. I would come back for his service alone. I recommend this place for sure and if you come by ask for Dino! Amazing customer service.

YUM. The quality of the meat is great, and the service is wonderful. There's something about the restaurant that makes me feel like I'm not in the US, and I love that. I ate with a friend and we ordered pork belly, brisket, short rib, and beef tongue. Everything was delicious and worth the price. I would definitely go back to Chadol!

They really deliver on their slogan of being an elevated K-BBQ experience. - The meat is EXQUISITE. - Interior is classy, and staff are friendly. Great for special events or just a nice night out. - Side dishes (반찬 banchan) are excellent, especially the japchae (잡채), kimchi, and gyeran jjim (계란찜 egg souffle). - My one gripe is that the kimchi jjigae (김치찌개) is good but not authentic. It tastes surprisingly like tomato. The soy bean soup (dwaenjang jjigae 된장찌개) was great, though. We got the all-you-can-eat. Sometimes the all-you-can-eat K-BBQs (understandably) skimp a bit on the quality, but Chadol's cuts were all top notch. Will definitely be returning.

We decided to try the AYCE KBBQ at Chadol, after a bad experience eating pork belly at another local restaurant. I was blown away by the quality of the meats and the amazing service. We ordered the pork belly, spicy pork belly, beef brisket, and steak. My favorite meat has always been the spicy pork belly. Chadol's spice pork belly delivered! I loved the sweetness of the meat and the slight char/caramelization from the sugar. The meat-to-fat ratio on the pork belly was perfect as you can see in the picture. All the sides were delicious, and I especially liked the soy-marinated garlic and onions. Our server was extremely attentive and polite. I feel bad for not remembering his name (we were there around 6pm on 1/11 during a shift change). He was quick to refill any of our sides. I was impressed by his multitasking abilities, waiting at least 4 tables at once, yet none of our meats were burnt and all our needs were taken care of. I felt like the AYCE KBBQ in the area has been going downhill for the past years and did not taste authentic. Thank you Chadol for providing quality KBBQ AYCE in the MoCo area!

We did the all you can eat buffet and stuffed ourselves silly. Our server was very kind, so top points for that. Out of all the meats the spicy pork shoulder was the best. The spicy bulgogi was the spiciest of the spicy meats that we tried. The spicy shrimp had no spice, just a plain buttery flavour. If you ask they bring out lettuce leaves for wrapping your meat. They give you three dipping options, one of them being a homemade salt and it was so delicious! Overall it was a great meal, though quite expensive per person. A nice treat to have on occasion!

We made a reservation for 28 people for a celebration party on Sunday . We arrived prior to its opening at 12pm. We took four tables and benches on the furthest right hand side. Because of weekends, we paid the dinner price on the full menu. We went three rounds of orders and received prompt and good table service. We were given full two hours instead of regular 90 minutes lunch.

I've lived in the Bethesda area for a few years and have tried multiple Korean BBQ restaurants. Chadol is hands down my favorite and my go-to Korean BBQ restaurant. The cuts of meats are preeminent and meticulously prepared. You'll find yourself planning your next evening out before leaving the restraint. Kaitlyn, our server, was extremely welcoming, kind, and knowledgeable of the menu. She even shared some of her personal favorites. Her recommendations did not disappoint. 10/10 recommend.

Worst Korean BBQ ever. It's my first time writing review in Yelp. We ordered the premium beef combo but we got the buffe quality meat. Server kept encouraging us to grill watching me grilling in front of him. We had about 400 dollars of amount of meat including 2 Galbi which will make the grill burn but he wanted to clean the grill with the napkins without instead of offering new grill. Chadol was 80 percent fat. It's weird that I liked the server, he was nice, checked on us multiple times.

First time i had dinner here with my family yesterday Christmas day . I was amaze how the staffs are professional they even offered my mom some hot tea while waiting, the taste of the meat is way better than other korean bbq like iron age , their table is also impressive , we go out after dinner with no smell like bbq , i want to commend our server Steven , he serves as well and fast very friendly too . Chadol will definitely be my go to bbq place.

Came for a low-key birthday dinner in the middle of the week, and we were treated very well. Restaurant was very clean and pretty. Crowded but not too loud, and the staff are very kind and professional. Impressive selection of meat, sides, and drinks. Got AYCE dinner with brisket, seasoned pork belly, bulgogi, soy top blade steak, and garlic butter shrimp. Everything was delicious and high quality (especially the top blade steak!). Our server Joseph was very attentive and super friendly. Favorite part of the night was the strawberry mochi and very sweet birthday card from the staff, so so nice of them. Would absolutely come back and recommend that you come here too!

My new favorite Korean AYCE bbq. Period. They serve quality cuts of meat and you can really taste the difference. One bite and you'll be convinced that you won't want meat from any other AYCE Korean bbq joint. Best part is they use new downdraft vents that suck away all the greasy fumes as you're cooking the meat, which makes the eating experience a lot more pleasant. Bonchan selection was good with a nice variety of tasty side dishes. Ambience was nice as well with a quiet, upscale, and modern vibe. Price is higher than some other locations, but for the quality and experience, I'll gladly pay the difference.

The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful, with great variety. The service was super attentive and friendly, and the ambiance made the whole experience even better. Will definitely come back!

This is my new favorite KBBQ spot! It's located in the same center as the Rockville OneLife. I came here with a group of 7 and they accommodated us with a spacious table with two grills. We came on a Tuesday evening at 7pm and it was fairly packed! The ambiance is similar to any other KBBQ spot, dark aesthetic with single low hanging lights above each table. The music wasn't too loud, which I appreciated, so that we could hear each other talking. The service was great! We did all you can eat. There were plenty of small plates with pickled veggies, japchae, etc. - the usual. We all got our own bowl of rice and some salad and lettuce wraps for the table. All the meat we ordered was absolutely delicious. It would be hard to list them all out but we ordered a lot (bulgogi, pork belly, brisket, etc. - multiple different flavors of each type of meat too). Every single meat dish did not disappoint and it all tasted quality too. We all ate a lot, as we usually do at KBBQ, but none of us left feeling super full and bloated. My stomach didn't hurt at all! I think that's a great sign that they were serving quality meat. An added bonus is that the place didn't feel smokey at all and upon leaving my hair and clothing didn't smell like meat!!!! I was shocked but so happy about it. It was pretty cold where we sat but they must have very good ventilation. I didn't even see any hood vents, and I'm so curious how they managed to create such an awesome and thoughtful KBBQ atmosphere. 100/10 would come back again. This is my new favorite and go-to KBBQ spot! I can't wait to tell my other friends, but actually, maybe I want to gatekeep this :)

Recommend by a coworker and it's now a go to of ours! High quality meat, and they have folks monitoring to make sure you're not overcooking. I can't speak highly enough about their customer service, they check in on you but not too much and their sides are delicious and they're always ready and happy to refill. Steamed egg custard, kimchi soup and pancake are all fantastic as well Nice dim lighting for a date night. Great lunch spotmenu as well

Very great korean bbq. The quality of meat is very fresh compared to most kbbq. They do have ayce menu which is nice and the service was good. Chill spot for some good food. definitely will be back again!

Unlimited banchan is my favorite part. The portions are good and have never had issues with quality! Steven was our server today and he was great.

If you like Korean food, just try this place. Very busy though. Even if you make reservation, you might have to wait but the food was amazing. Every dish on the menu is worth tasting for...

Great food and the meat was delicious! The quality of the meat was well worth the price. Also another cool aspect is the grill. We took off our jackets ahead of entering into the restaurant, anticipating the smell of the grill on our clothes (something our previous Korean BBQ restaurant experiences have taught us). However, when we came out of the restaurant, our clothes smelled just like before we walked in. There was no smell of smoke. Not sure what kind of cool grill magic happened, but absolutely amazing! Our waiter, Luffy (I hope I spelled their name right) was very prompt and brought the side dishes, the meats, and anything we did promptly. Highly recommend!

Haven't been able to find a good kbbq place in the area until I found chadol. They have good quality chadol (brisket) for a very reasonable price! I usually get the chadol combo but their other combos offer pretty decent options too (especially beef & premium options with the boneless prime short rib). Place is pretty spacious but it's always full, so be sure to make a reservation before you go. Service has always been so great! Very attentive and friendly. I have not tried their all you can eat because it doesn't offer chadol -- what they are known for -- but price seems very reasonable if you're into that.

Solid Korean food. My friends and I had the all-you-can-eat meal, which included the following: - Brisket - delicious, probably the best meat here so far, can't go wrong with this one - Bulgogi - Top blade steak - Pork bulgogi I also tried Hokkaido fruit beer (white peach), and it was light and sweet and refreshing. Other meat dishes here look good. I think it'd be better to try a la carte food instead of AYCE actually.
