ChoSun Hwaro

My favorite KBBQ spot in Virginia! ChoSun Hwaro offers amazing meat quality and Korean dishes at an amazing price! The service here is stellar, and both the wait staff and the owner were so pleasant to talk to. I came here for dinner one evening and we got their ChoSun combo package with four different meats for 4 people, as well as their bibim naengmyeon, corn cheese, beef tartare, and dolsot bibimbap. Everything was amazing quality and so so delicious. The meats were juicy and well-marinated. The portions were great and the combo came with doenjang jjigae and steamed egg (which were both delicious—I loved how they added cheese to the steamed egg). The corn cheese was the perfect sweetness and the beef tartare was also another favorite. Would love to come back!

Service was excellent! Our server was quick, professional, and very friendly honestly one of the best servers I’ve ever had. After we ordered, he came over and started grilling the meat for us right at the table. He was like a grill master, cooking everything with precision and cutting each piece into perfect bite-sized portions. The pork belly and steak came out with a beautiful crust and amazing flavor. The side dishes were also spot on kimchi had the right level of spice and everything tasted fresh. The food was excellent overall, but what really made the experience 10/10 was the server. Truly outstanding service that elevated the whole meal. Highly recommend this place for both food and experience!

An a la carte/combo only kbbq spot, serving quality, premium meats - all very juicy and tender! But, given that this spot is more of an upscale kbbq restaurant, they can also give you a run for your money if you're not careful with how much you order... Although their meats were all delicious, I was a huge fan of their banchan and seafood pancake, which was thin and crispy. Loved to snack on pieces in between cooking meats :) The bulgogi tower was an interesting one... works as a standalone ngl, and also comes with the soup, glass noodles and onion which was pretty neat. For a Friday night and for a large group (9 people) we made a reservation ahead of time, and they were able to accomodate us right away with no wait. Again for a Friday night, it's not too rowdy and not super busy. Service was also very quick! Now, not a spot I would frequent, but would def come here for special occasions!

I ordered the japchae (Korean-style glass noodles with vegetables and beef) to go, and I really enjoyed it. The flavors were delicious and well-balanced, even as takeout. I also really like their Korean BBQ. It’s always satisfying. I definitely recommend this restaurant!

Where Food, Hospitality, and Heart Come Together — ChoSun Hwaro Fairfax ChoSun Hwaro is the kind of place that reminds you what true Korean dining is meant to feel like — thoughtful, comforting, and made with heart. The Jae Yook Gui was exceptional: deeply marinated, perfectly grilled, and full of bold yet balanced flavor. Every bite felt intentional and beautifully executed. The steamed egg soufflé was pure comfort — light, airy, and warm, arriving at the table like a gentle pause in the meal, perfectly timed and never rushed. And the 동치미 was crisp, refreshing, and subtly bright, cleansing the palate and tying the entire experience together with elegance. What truly elevates ChoSun Hwaro is the people. The staff are attentive, polite, and genuinely kind — always present without hovering, and always making sure everything is just right. Their calm professionalism and warm manners make the experience feel effortless. And the owners deserve special recognition. You can feel their care in every detail — from the food to the service to the atmosphere. They are gracious, welcoming, and clearly passionate about preserving quality and authenticity. It’s rare to find owners so hands-on yet humble, and it makes all the difference. ChoSun Hwaro isn’t just a meal — it’s an experience built on respect, tradition, and hospitality. A true gem in Fairfax, and a place I’ll continue to recommend with confidence and gratitude.

Absolutely unforgettable Korean BBQ experience — upscale, welcoming, and worth every visit! Chosun Hwaro in Fairfax is hands-down one of the best upscale Korean BBQ spots in Northern Virginia. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels elegant and high-end—the interior honestly reminds me of a Korean version of Capital Grill: classy, warm lighting, beautiful décor, and a polished vibe that makes it perfect for date night, celebrations, or hosting out-of-town guests. The food quality is always top-tier, but I have to highlight the Prime Boneless Short Rib—it was unreal. The marbling was gorgeous, the cuts were thick and tender, and once it hit the grill it was buttery, juicy, and packed with rich flavor. You can immediately tell they use premium meat and the freshest ingredients, because every bite tastes clean, high-quality, and perfectly prepared. The banchan (side dishes) were delicious and well-balanced too, and everything came out hot, fresh, and beautifully presented. What truly makes Chosun Hwaro stand out though is the service. The staff is attentive, professional, and genuinely kind. They made us feel so special, especially since we were celebrating—little thoughtful touches that turned dinner into a memorable experience. That level of hospitality is rare and it really sets them apart. If you’re looking for premium Korean BBQ with a luxury atmosphere, exceptional service, and a place that makes celebrations feel meaningful—this is it. Chosun Hwaro never disappoints. Can’t wait to come back!

Had dinner at Chosun Hwaro in Fairfax and absolutely loved it! The Baekdusan Bulgogi was not only delicious but beautifully presented — tender beef with just the right amount of seasoning and a perfect hint of smoky flavor. The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, and the staff were attentive and friendly. Great food, great service, and great vibes — definitely five stars!

The food is great and high quality. I highly recommend the marinated galbi. All the dishes, including the side dishes, were seasoned perfectly and tasted fresh. Our server was Kelly and I highly recommend her since she had such a bubbly and outgoing personality. The service was wonderful and she did some soju tricks and grilled the meat perfectly with a nice char.

First off, I want to make it clear the banchan is NOT unlimited. I understand that some places may charge for refills but it's my personal pet-peeve when that's not mentioned upfront or on the menu. Because then it results in a case where I'm cut off not even half-way through the meal and have nothing refreshing or acidic to cut through the heavy meat which sucks. The food was great, good quality meat and I enjoyed the banchan (maybe too much? We were cut off after requesting refills thrice --portions were pretty small each time though). However the service was subpar. Aside from being told we couldn't get anymore refills, every time we asked our server a question or made a request he would just nervously laugh. In addition, after nervously laughing he wouldn't answer. My mom asked if there were any additional sauces and he awkwardly laughed, cooked the meat, but didn't answer. She also asked if we could have a refill of the green onions (for the first time) and he nervously laughed, said nothing and never brought more out so we assume that meant no. Then 10 minutes later the table next to us got a refill of the green onions. So, the service killed the night for us but the food was really good. Overall, for such an expensive meal, having no side dishes was disappointing and unfortunately my family and I left the restaurant still slightly hungry.

Honestly a pretty big letdown. I was excited to see this being built up and all the hype but the prices were high, the food was mid, and the service was just slow. First the food, we got one of the combos so the additional marinated kalbi, extra egg soup, deonjang jigae, and seafoood pancake. Everything including the pan Chan side dishes were pretty bland tasting. The dipping sauce was also mid. It cost more than all you can eat but the quality was not great. The meat felt too tender, powdery, and honestly old. I heart the nengmyung was good but I didn't get it. The best thing was the seafood pancake. It was mostly crab sticks but it was extra crispy. I didn't like how they gave very very small glasses for the barley (or barely hah) tea and I would keep having to ask for refills but then they would forget who had tea. Maybe use a different cup? For the price and lack of flavor, I honestly would not be back.

Good Korean bbq place that serve decent Korean bbq. They provide good banchan (korean side dishes) and good selection of Korean entrees and appetizers. For a good appetizer sample, try their Assorted Jeon which provide a good selection of seafood, shrimp and beef. Claim is premium beef but IMHO not as premium as ingle. But to be fair, brit as pricey.

The service was good, they cook the meat for you. Although I really rather to cook my own food at kbbqs. The meat quality is okay. The seasoning on the meats that were season ruined the taste of the meat IMO. But the meats that weren't seasoned were not tender. Overall, the food quality is okay.

Another "high end" Kbbq spot in nova. We went on a Wednesday night and experienced no wait, though majority of tables were full. The meal was quite expensive but unfortunately left feeling not full. The meat cuts were ok, but not super top notch, especially for the price. The ban chan and hot sides were bland. Our server tried to rush through cooking the meats. I had to ask her to give us a break so we could continue to enjoy the meats hot. The seafood pancake was underwhelming - used imitation crab meat and mostly batter. In comparison, you can pay a similar price for a couple other high-end kbbq places in the area and actually leave full. There's free parking for 3 hours.

Tried out this fairly new KBBQ spot on a stormy night after craving some comfort food--and it absolutely hit the spot! This is their second location (the first is in Ellicott City), and the owner brought the concept over from Korea, which shows in the quality and authenticity. We ordered the combo with brisket, Emperor's Galbi, and Empress's Galbi--everything was flavorful and well-prepared. The set came with dwenjang jjigae and the fluffiest gyeran jjim I've ever had--adding cheese took it to the next level! A special shoutout to our server, Kelly, who was friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. She even treated us to a little soju show, which was such a fun touch! We also got the chive pancake (not pictured)--extra crispy, just how I like it. Kelly recommended it since it was raining, and she was spot on. Can't wait to come back and try more of the meats and soups--and I'll definitely be asking for Kelly again!

I really enjoyed this kbbq place! It was really hopping! We enjoyed every dish we ordered. Not really a fan of cheese on top of the egg but you can ask for no cheese. The cold noodles were . We also celebrated a birthday and I called ahead and asked if we could bring a cake and they were fine with it. They also lit the cake and blasted fun happy birthday songs and the waitress were very into the dancing which was really fun to watch!

I've been here before and tried their beef combo, which was good, but this time I came for lunch and wanted something lighter, so I ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap and Braised Hairtail (Galchi Jorim). The basic side dishes were fine, nothing special, but okay. However, the busboy who brought the banchan (side dishes) yawned while serving, which gave me a bit of an unprofessional impression. It made me feel like the place isn't really attentive to customer service. The Galchi Jorim came out first, and it looked great, generous portion and visually appetizing. But the moment I took a bite of the radish, it was completely under-seasoned and bland. Then I tasted the fish... and honestly, it tasted off. Not just a bit fishy it had that spoiled taste that immediately ruined my appetite. I can usually overlook minor issues, but this was beyond that. I tried to eat a few more bites thinking maybe it was just one bad piece, but it wasn't. I finally told the waitress that I couldn't eat it. To their credit, they handled it quickly and apologized, so I didn't want to make a big deal out of it. My guess is that since this restaurant mainly focuses on meat dishes, they probably don't order or serve fish often, which might explain why it wasn't fresh. My advice: skip the Galchi Jorim at Chosun Hwaro. It's definitely not their strength!

We came on a Thursday night to celebrate and was able to get a reservation easily at 6:30pm. There were a lot of options for meat, but we got the set for 2-3ppl. The meat was honestly just enough for the 2 of us (or we might just be starving). The house salad was really good, and there were lots of banchan given. I also ordered the cold noodles, which I think paired well with the meat. We also got the corn cheese, which I thought was gonna be hot, but it was a bit cold? I would go back again here to try other meat options ( maybe Wagyu?) and soup dishes! Love the place too. So spacious!

My friend and I went during the week and restaurant was not crowded. Big place with lots of seating. Very new-looking and staff was warm and welcoming. We ordered the Baekdusan Bulgogi and Budae Jjigae and both were delicious! But the star of the show was definitely the Baekdusan Bulgogi (pic attached). I want to go back just for that! Yummmm!

3 stars: nothing special - would not go back or recommend TL;DR: food was just okay; ambiance is not what was expected; service is awkward Was excited for this place to open up for some time now. Based on their website/advertisement, they were selling it as a premium KBBQ spot with authentic KBBQ with a luxury dining experience. I expected it to be on par with the other upscale KBBQ spots in the area, but it fell short. First time we sat at the bar, and the second time at a table. AMBIANCE: I expected the vibes to be similar to Honest/Ingle/Woo, but it was more similar to SO/Kogiya/Meokja. The music is loud and the typical K-pop that is common in regular KBBQ places. They have a bar area, which was more like a sports bar, but I did like that they have grills at the bar that you can eat at, if you don't want to wait for a table. SERVICE: ~Each time we come here, the service has been a little strange. When you get seated, they seem to just stand right in front of you and stare at you until you are ready to order. I don't know if this is how they are trained, but I felt very uncomfortable. ~They cooked multiple meats at a time, which seems atypical at KBBQ places around here ~Started cooking the uncooked pork while our cooked beef was around the edges of the pan ~Placed the cooked meat into the plates we were eating out of, which had various drippings and liquid from the steamed egg and other banchan ~^this also lead to our server somewhat pre-portioning for us and not asking us if the cook was to our liking (LA galbi could have used a little more time) ~Placed a napkin directly on our table top and told us to put our LA galbi bones there ~Overall, the service was problematic FOOD: ~stating this upfront - the quality of the meat is maybe a little above average but improved cooking technique could elevate it more ~They only have 1 combo that has an option for 1-2 people, everything else is for 3+ ~We got the marinated combo, which is stated to be for 3-4 people, and was going to take the leftovers home, but the portion was ridiculously small ~Banchan: they provide a variety of option including kimchi, radish, fish cakes, and salad. Salad has a gochugaru forward flavor, but they don't give enough dressing, which makes you feel like you're just eating lettuce. ~Nengmyun (3/5): it was fine, but missing some umph in the broth. Portion was generous ~Doenjang Jjigae (4/5): I like that this is definitely a traditional doenjang jjigae and the flavors were nice ~Gyeranjjim (4/5): Very fluffy and flavored well So far we have tried the Chosun Hwaro Combo and the Marinated Combo ~Brisket (5/5): good portion and cooked well. Very soft ~Empress galbi (3.5/5): when cooked well, it is tender. (note: this comes unseasoned, so use the sauce they provide) ~Emperor's Galbi (3/5): this was jumuluk. Not sure I would necessarily classify this as galbi as jumuluk refers to the marinade and the cut of beef is dependent. They may have used short rib, but unsure. Texture seemed like rib finger ~LA Galbi (3/5): marinade needed to be a little stronger, but they may be going for that light seasoning. Meat was a little chewy which could be due to the cookery ~Marinated galbi (3/5): same as LA galbi ~Marinated pork short rib (3.5/5): The marinade on this was better than everything else, but it was fine. The food here is okay but not worth the price or the portions. Service needs some work.

My friends and I wanted to check out this new Korean BBQ spot that opened up. We got a set menu and added on a couple items. The meat quality here was amazing! Meats had good marbling and were very tender. They offered a lot of different side dishes to pair with the meat. We particularly loved the Emperor and Empress Galbi. Good Korean bbq but definitely on the pricer end. However, with the quality of the meat and the great service, this is definitely worth a visit! Apps: Kimchi Jeon (Pancake) Entrees: Chosun Hwaro Combo M (Empress Galbi, Emperor Galbi, Brisket and Ribeye) and Pork Belly Sides: Corn Cheese, Bibim Naengmyun (Spicy Cold Noodles), Gyeran Jjim (Steamed Egg) and Doenjang Jjigae (Soybean soup)

Been meaning to come here for about a year and I finally got to come here on a weekday for early dinner around 3:30 pm with my wife. They are open throughout the day from 11 am through 10 or 11 pm depending on the day of the week. There is also a location in Ellicot city, MD. There were no other guests when I came to dine as it was in the middle of the day and too early to some for dinner. I was seated right away and got the menu. I took a minute to look at the menu since they have many different combos or a la carte options. Throughout the whole visit, I felt a little rushed to eat. Perhaps because there were no other guests, the worker was very attentive and stayed with us pretty much the whole meal making it feel a bit burdensome and not private. We got the combo meal for 2-3 people. The cost was like $109 base for it. It came with three meats (brisket, empress and emperor galbi). Egg and soup included. Can't remember if they charge for rice or not. Naengmyeon is $12 which is a good price. It was definitely lacking some sweetness and tanginess. The broth must have also been pretty salty bc I had to drink so much water later in the day. The grill was in fantastic condition. The meats sizzled and cooked perfectly, and the smoke was sucked into the smoke vent in the middle. I appreciated not smelling like grilled meat when I left. The portions were disappointingly small. Although I felt like I ate a meal, I did not feel full. The side dishes and dipping sauce were also good with refills on them. Ambiance in here is pretty much as you would expect from a Korean restaurant. K-pop music blasting, big TV monitors playing Music videos, sports near the bar area. Maybe bring a layer during summer bc the A/C is on full blast. Service was great besides just standing and being there throughout the whole meal. I think a bit of privacy would have been nice. The meats were all grilled perfectly. Quality: excellent quality beef, but the portions are tiny. Even if you were to buy it at a grocery store, it would be cheaper for the portions you get here. I would recommend sizing your meal up. A combo for 4-5 people will probably be enough for 2-3 people.

Wow! I've been to hundreds of Korean bbqs, and this place is tops. We got the special for 6-7 people. It was fantastic--all the meats were top quality and so tender. The banchan were great even the service of the cold white kimchi soup midway during the meal. The salad was refilled frequently and the pickled radish was perfect to offset the meats. I loved loved the egg soufflé (gyeran jim) and doengjang that came w the meats too. It was packed by the time we left as it was a Sat night--glad we got reservations night before and chose to have an early dinner. And the service was great to match the food. They were at our table side nearly the whole time.

This restaurant is definitely more on the pricey side for KBBQ. think the meat quality was good but the portions were kinda small for the amount you pay for. My friends and I got the beef tongue, jowl, and the bulgogi tower. The bulgogi tower was a neat concept where you dip the sauce into the marinade! The sauce also has some clear noodles. It says that the tower is meant to serve 2 people but it was a good amount when we share with 3 people along with meats. The egg also tasted kinda burnt. The service was underwhelming. We had to ask our serve multiple times for side dishes and soju. He also forgot about our soybean stew and egg.

As a Korean I've been surprised at the growth of Korean food over the years. As an ethnic food grows in popularity, there is the possibility that restaurants that serve this food will change their food to reach a broader audience. I can safely say that this is good authentic food, if anything a bit elevated. We got a fixed meal with various cuts of beef. The meat was good quality but the real gauge of any korean restaurant is the banchan. This place did not disappointment they had all normal ones: kimchi's, fish cakes, potato salad but it's the others that really shined. Egg Souffle was spot on, the only nod to modernity was adding cheese. The Doeng Jang Jigae was good. It was nice funky contrasts to all the meat. One of our diners had stomach issues and couldn't eat spicy food, so they brought out a non spicy water kimchi that was spot on. It's on the pricey side but I think over all you get a much better value than if you went to a US steak house.

Parking lot of the side of the building. I've been twice and it was not busy at all. Service is normal, nothing wrong with it. Waitresses talked while they cooked food then usually left us alone unless we stopped them to ask for something. Menus were really nice. Material it's made out of is really nice. Also restaurant is spacious. Both times we went we weren't too close to other parties. Ordered marinated galbi, Baekdusan Bulgogi. Jap chae. First time. Second time reordered everything but the Jap chae. Jap chae came with beef so I wish it would have said that. Also the waitress didnt know it came with beef either. Also there is sweet potato noodles in the broth of the baekdusan bulgogi. Which its not mentions either. So we found it pointless to order jap chae and the bulgogi. Just some minor details missing. We enjoyed all the dishes. Baekdusan bulgogi was my favorite dish. Consistency of the meals were different to me. First time I loved the baekdusan bulgogi and the broth was so flavorful. With a side of rice. It was great. 2nd time it was goodbbut broth was not hitting the same as the first time. Marinated galbi was really chewy my first time. But it was hard to bite through the pieces. 2nd time not so hard to chew, so that was much better. It's a decent place to try. Next time I would definitely try something else to give a better review. There was too of us so buying too many options with the price would just be over kill.

Great experience for my daughter's first time trying Korean bbq. Service was incredible. Kind, warm, and helped explain what everything was and how to enjoy it traditionally.

I've been on the lookout for a restaurant that serves good galbi jjim in this area, and I finally found one that's as good as what you'd get in LA. The portion is listed as being for two, but it can easily feed four people. I also tried the galbi dolsot bibimbap, and it did not disappoint. Everything I ordered was delicious, and the service was excellent. The staff were very attentive and made sure I had everything I needed in a timely manner. I'll definitely be coming back!

We had a group of friends that wanted to try the newest KBBQ in NoVA! Their concept is considered high end KBBQ offering a la carte and combo set option. - Chosun Hwaro Combo [M] for 3-4 people - Pork Belly + Prime Ribeye -- in addition to the combo set We went during peak dinner time on the weekend, unfortunately they did not have a large table available for us. They sat us in a section with two separate tables (also meaning two separate checks) so we were unable to choose the combo that would have been worth the price for our group. The meat tasted significantly oilier compared to other KBBQ places. Otherwise, the service was good and their staff were attentive.

Absolutely one of the best KBBQ experiences I've had. The meat quality is top-tier--every cut was fresh, tender, and packed with flavor. What made it truly special was our amazing server, Young Kim. She was not only warm and attentive but gave such thoughtful tips on how to enjoy each dish--like pairing sauces, wrapping combos, and the perfect grill timing. She turned a great meal into an unforgettable one. If you come here (and you should), cross your fingers you get Young Kim guiding your KBBQ journey!

Welcome to the hood! Excellent service paired with quality meat makes for an awesome dinner service. Limited parking available to the side of the structure. Open from 11am-10pm. We tried the combo small comes with unlimited banchan beef brisket, galbi and some other meat thats marinated. Overall a great experience.

Amazing service, our server constantly checked in on us and provided everything we asked for. Top notch meat selection and presentation. The short ribs were fresh, the soo yook (boiled pork) was abundant, flavorful, and came with plenty of garlic and pickled radish. The mool nengmyun (cold beef broth noodle with sliced beef, cucumber, and pears) was a delightful way to wash down all the grease and finish off the night. The interior is spacious and they offer private rooms as well. My only gripe is that they charge $2 for lemon slices for water but at least they brought out a whole lemon, lol. Not the least bit to deter me from coming back again. Will definitely come back to try more.

ChoSun is a great addition to the kbbq scene in NoVA! I personally do not enjoy AYCE, so ChoSun was a perfect new place to try out! Our group of 4 got the combo set for 2-3 people and we also decided to add the bossam as well! I don't remember which meats were which but our group def agreeed that all the meats were flavorful and cooked well! We also all enjoyed the steamed egg, which came out sooo fluffy!!?? The bossam set came with a lot of porkbelly and sides to compliment the wrap! One thing to note is that the parking is sparse, we ended up parking quite far away and the restaurant itself was not too busy. The service still needs some work for efficiency but nonetheless very friendly! Would highly recc!

Pros: great quality of meet. We recalled liked that it s NOT AYCE. We prefer a la cart. Got the 3 meats, egg soufflé, soup. The waiter cooked our meats. He was nice. Very good service. Cons: limited variety of banchan.

We weren't feeling KBBQ, so we went rogue and ordered a mix of random dishes like yukjeon, naengmyeon (bibim and mul), bibimbap, and a soup dish. The yukjeon was our shining star. Bibimbap was fine if you're into "just okay," and everything else? Let's just say barf emoji. I had high hopes for the naengmyeon since it's a KBBQ joint. With the naengmyeon, they are not even trying. It was evident that they didn't properly rinse the noodles in cold water after cooking. The waitress was sweet, the ambiance charming... then there's the hostess/manager. When we needed the check and couldn't find the waitress after waiting a while, we tried to flag the high and mighty hostess/manager down. She ignored us. Straight up. It was bold, it was shocking, and yes, it was rude. Bless her heart. Maybe their KBBQ is good but my suggestion is not to order the non KBBQ items. I would hate for first time Korean food eaters to think that's what Korean food tastes like.

While kind of expensive, ChoSun Hwara has some really good food and service. And the venting setup at each table, while obtrusive to being able to easily see each other, works like a charm when you might otherwise get smoke. Nice (refillable) sides. The Emperor's Galbi was a bit fatty; the marinated pork short rib was absolutely divine. My wife liked the dolsot bibimbap - just the right amount of crispy - and the jap char and the Kim Chi Jeon pancakes were good. However, the meat and the sides are the stars here. Did I mention the great service? It is a heavy meal, and not cheap, so we can't enjoy it too often, but I look forward to our next visit.

We came in with mediocre expectations and I'm glad I set my baseline lower than usual because... we'll all definitely be waiting a bit to visit anytime soon. If you've never had Korean bbq, this place is great. If you've ever had Korean bbq before, it'll satisfy your craving. If you've ever had great Korean bbq, you'll be planning your next visit elsewhere shortly afterwards. We ordered bbq and the meat was either overcooked or told our pork belly was cooked when it was undercooked. We got a jungol to enjoy while having bbq, and for our non bbq eating guest, and wish they told us there's no way to keep it warm while simultaneously using the bbq grill bc the soup needs to go on top of the bbq grill. They said they don't have separate burners and our server seemed confused as to why we would have wanted to eat bbq and soup together- why was it brought out at the same time then? It's nice they have a pitcher of ice water and hot water but our hot water pitcher had a small leak and when we asked for another, they never brought another one back. The service was spotty but im sure it's growing pains yet we had to point out the things we wanted to order because the server could not understand the menu items. We felt the price point was expensive for the quality of meat, jungol, and banchans. My kid had no interest in the soy bean/dwenjang jjigae and it's usually his favorite at Korean bbq places! The steamed egg was a big bland for us too. A lot of the overall experience left us scratching our heads. The feel of the space didn't seem like a happening new place. Maybe we went during their down time but it was empty and quiet. I was looking forward to having a good Korean bbq place but I'll wait in line for a nearby place in Fairfax circle or go to centreville for now.

Took my coworkers to show authentic Korean bbq. They burned the meat, very little side dishes unless I asked, galbi did not that taste that great. Embarrassing in front of coworkers.

너무 맛있었어요 ! 써버분이 너무 친절하시고 잘해주셔서 더욱 더 좋은 저녁 식사였어요. 꽃갈비가 재일 맛있었고 콤보 세트도 잘 나옵니다. 된장찌개랑 계란찜도 너무 맛있었고 반찬들도 소박하게 많이 나옵니다. 꼭 추천합니다!

So far i did take out on galbi tang and kimchi jiggae. Both of them tasted great and they give a lot of meat. The kimchi jiggae had generous amounts of pork. It had a perfect balance of sour and spice to it. I like how the galbi tang came with slices of brisket. They are very generous with the sides so I always tip them when I do take out.

I loved the quality of their meats. They taste delicious however the quantity I would say is a bit on the lesser side. If I didn't order any extra dishes like nangmyun, I would probably leave content but not full.

This restaurant serves up different cuts than other restaurants. They don't have bulgogi that is marinated except the spicy one. The flavors of the sides are not as flavorful. The kimchi is not the best in terms of flavor. You also do not get the complimentary cheese corn and the steamed eggs that usually comes with the meal. Their dipping sauce is not as flavorful as well. The marinated pork short ribs are delicious. L.A galbi is more flavorful than the emperor galbi. Overall this restaurant is decent.

The quality of meat was excellent! The best cuts of meat I've tasted in a long time! We ordered a small beef combo and it was the right amount for the four of us. Loved the brisket, the galbi and some other cut of steak that you sprinkled salt on. I definitely want to come back and try some of their other selections and soups. I'm still thinking about their meat!

Visited on Mother's Day with my family and left disappointed. We were excited to try this spot, but the quality of the meat didn't justify the high prices. We've been to other kbbq places nearby that offer better value - similar or better meat, more banchan, and lower prices. The nengmyun was also a miss - it was unusually salty and not worth ordering again. Service was very slow, likely due to the holiday, but still added to the overall underwhelming experience. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to the expectations for a special occasion.

First time I ate here it was 5 star food and service. But every time I have gone since (about 8 times now) both food quality and service seem to get a little worse. We actually complained about meat quality because it was so fatty... at first manager tried to tell us that's just how it is but later checked with kitchen and got us better quality meat. I hope they don't follow other places who sacrifice quality of food and service as they get busier.

It was a weekday dinner with friends. The food was great and I can tell they know what they're doing. The quality of meat is pretty good and it's better than the competing restaurant near the Nova area. The freezing cold soju was also amazing. The server was very friendly and cooked meat for us every time. I really enjoy the food and service. Good vibe in the interior and nice and attractive atmosphere. Love to come back and check out more menu.

Amazing service and truly kind and hospitable staff. The food was exceptional as well! Had a lovely time with a large party. Really fun vibe as well!

The service was absolutely amazing! You have to ask for the green onion mix, it really is a game changer to your meat wraps! The ambiance was friendly and not too loud!

I went there for my brother's birthday dinner with our families. We already made a reservation for 16 people in a private room. When we got there, the male owner told us that the reserved room only seats 14 people. We asked "but, we had a reservation for 16 people and why are you giving us a room that only holds 14?." With a stern face, he said "well, I am telling you now it only seats 14!". He became argumentative. I told him that he should have told us when we made a reservation but he offered apologies and didn't attempt to make it right. We ended up having everyone eating in a tight squeeze. We usually eat out 3-4 times a week at different restaurants and this was not a good experience at all. Will not be back...

places is pretty good but also expensive. The meat seemed pretty fresh although it wasn't much. I was there with my family of three. We spent over $200 although we got the package that was not marinated. The noodles were pretty good we tried both the plain and the spicy one. Those are priced well, but the portion was very small. May gave it another try in the future but right now I would say there are better options. Also, no onion salad; one of my favorites when I have Kbbq.

Came here based on an instagram post. Great Korean bbq place that is not all you can eat. I prefer quality of meat over quantity of meat. We order the combo that fed 3-4 people. We had brisket, ribeye, galbi and a marinated steak and it came with soybean soup and steamed egg. It was so good. The meat was fresh and delicious. We also had the seafood pancake which was crispy and tasty. Our server Jo was nice and great at explaining everything. The meat was cooked perfectly to how we wanted it. We came around 3pm so it wasn't too busy. But the server Jo did recommend making reservations for weekend dinner time. Overall it is a great Korean bbq place with top notch meat selections. We have been to many and this one we will definitely be returning to.

I've had the pleasure of visiting this restaurant several times, and without fail, every meal has been outstanding. The experience reaches another level when Ms. Kelly is your server. She's incredibly hands-on and attentive, ensuring that your meal is prepared to perfection. The one time she wasn't our server, the quality of the food just didn't compare--particularly the meat, which wasn't cooked to the same level!!! This place serves the best 냉면 in Virginia--refreshing, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommend!

This is our second visit and we are excited to keep coming back. Service was great and attentive! The meat selection was fabulous. Not all you can eat but my husband and I shared the small combo and added the corn cheese and feel it was enough to leave full but not to excess. Ambiance was great tonight for an intimate dinner without the little one. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new date night spot to try. Oh also loved that we got a pitcher of beer for only $16

Great food! Aesthetically pleasing and wonderful service! Lots of seating throughout the whole restaurant and very clean inside! The best part was the steam egg! So big and fluffy!

We absolutely loved it here! The food was amazing and the meat was so high quality. The staff was also so lovely and attentive. If you're looking for a la carte KBBQ in Fairfax, definitely give them a try!

Joe was the best server and truly elevated our dining experience with all of the knowledge he shared about the meats and the best sauce/seasoning pairings. Service was 10/10. Love all the side dishes and the spicy cold noodles. Great flavors. Fluffy egg was delicious. Restaurant feels very modern, open, and clean
