Firepan Korean BBQ

🔥 Firepan Korean BBQ at Eden Center (Falls Church, VA) was super delicious! The service was very friendly and attentive 👏. Almost all the meats were soft, tender, and high-quality 🥩😋. The dipping sauces were amazing and flavorful too! I also tried their steamed eggs, fish tofu, spicy Korean tofu kimchi soup, spicy noodles, and even sushi — everything tasted really good and fresh 🍜🍣🔥. Overall, it was a great Korean BBQ experience — delicious food, great service, and totally worth coming back! 💯🔥😍

Food’s delicious, service is super friendly and attentive. Got the beef combo and the meat was really good quality and well maintained. Definitely going back to hit up the buffet next time!

I loved this place soo much, I came across it someone’s Instagram on decided to try , the servers was so nice , the one who served me was Vincent and the table was set kimchi , salad , & some delicious pig back , and other two delicious veggies , the main was so good I tried almost everything , the fire pan steak , various porks, briskets and what not ,it was so good , the sides were varieties eggs, fries and soo many to choose from unlike most Korean restaurants they don’t charge u for sides

Sorry, not really authentic korean bbq. Very sweet, all meats we ordered are extremely sweet, no spicy at all. It’s just really bad. Pretty much Americanized. I don’t think we will be back again. The waiter also used the tong he used to cook raw meat and used it again to pick up the cooked meat into our plate, which is not very safe, especially you touched the raw meat already! We are concerned about the food safety here as well. Hopefully they will get better training not to mixed up With the utensils.

I have been to a lot of Korean BBQ. But there was something special about this place. It was very clean walking in. High ceilings and one thing you really can't miss. The 20 foot projector on the wall playing k pop. The price was good and I like how the smoke is pulled into the table. Much better than the overhead smoke vent.

I’ve been here several times already. The weekday lunch deals are a great value. I recommend the steak, spicy bulgogi, and soy pork belly. The lettuce wraps felt a bit tough, but still acceptable. The restaurant’s cleanliness could be improved. I also noticed that the suggested tips on the bill are calculated after tax (It would be better if that could be corrected) Overall, it’s worth recommending.

Amazing dinner! Omg that meat is to die for!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😋 Our server Gustavito is such a sweetheart and very attentive. He made the experience much better. Thank you sir!

Service was great. First time there and our server was great. He basically held our hand through the process ordering and preparing the food.

Yummy . That's so good food. You can choice this one...they open later and u can eat with night time. 11:00 pm

This should be your goto to KBBQ! My family and I are new to the Washington DC area and found it great for a family dinning!

they make sure to sit me infront of the musi videos!! i love kpop! and plus the food is great!!!!

I learned about Eden Center Asian Food Hall from a friend. This is a strip mall with a variety of Asian restaurants where you may observe Asians dining on authentic Asian food! There is even an Asian supermarket. My son wanted to try Korean BBQ so we went to FIREPAN. Let me tell you, the service and friendliness was fire! (pun intended.) They were also quick to bring out these hot, wholesome meals! My 15 year old son is 6ft 2" and they gave him a lot of food--he had enough food for 2 good sized meals. Most importantly the food was delicious: japchi, crazy Californian rolls and fried dumplings. We will be back and we will be telling all of our friends about this fantastic eatery as well.

Came here after my workout excited for some good kbbq. Was reluctant since most kbbq is in Annandale but came with an open mind. AYCE at 3:45ish but since we left around 5 we were charged for dinner. Super OK brisket & a little better Firepan steak - good for the price though if you're eating lunch special, which apparently we weren't since we left later. $6 for cheese corn - I asked the waiter if it was worth and he said it was but for $6... eh. I liked the steamed eggs more. Even still, it was a quick wait and they were quick to accommodate our table of 6. It's a nice place to go with friends & looks pretty new. Not rushing to come back but for the price, I'd maybe be open to giving it another chance one day. Overall, OK experience.

This is by far one of the best Korean BBQ spots. The quality of the meat and the taste is so exquisite. Great service as well. Never can go wrong with eating here.

All I can say is wow! From start to finish, we had an exceptional time. It was a food connoisseur's heaven. Our Servicer, Nami explained how everything worked because we had never visited a Korean barbecue place before. She brought out the salad and the other dishes of pickled radishes, kimchi and I can't remember the name of of the other item, but every one of them was incredibly delicious. My friend had the spicy squid and I had brisket. We opted not to cook it at our table and they prepared it for us in the kitchen. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant, there was tons of food and we had to take some home. I ate every bite of my leftovers. It was so good, I will be back again and again to this restaurant it is gonna be one of my top five. The atmosphere was upbeat and fun, lots of people sitting around, listening to the music and just enjoying each other's company while cooking Korean barbecue and dining. In my opinion, this is a restaurant you have to go to.

Great selection of meats, sides and sauces! I love the ambiance as there's usually music videos playing on a projector staff is very attentive and checks on you frequently.

Great place for people to get together, and the all you can eat option is pretty reasonably priced with good meat options, even for option A. Unlike other Korean BBQs I've been to, there's no buffet for sides, just a couple on the table, but our server was great to keep checking on us instead of slowing down on getting more refills. We tried the bulgogi, pork belly, soy chicken thigh, and brisket. They were all great! Just requires a little patience to let it cook, but it's worth it and very filling. Don't go overboard or you'll feel it later!

Tried the AYCE option C at Firepan. Our favorites were the marinated shrimp, olive beef, beef belly rib, thin cut pork belly, and the spicy bulgogi roll. If you choose the AYCE, you are limited to 3 options at a time. Our waitress cooked the meats for us, and brought out orders quickly! We ate until we were full and for the most part enjoyed everything. The only items we didn't really care for were the beef brisket (it was dry and hard to eat) and the steamed egg. Overall we had a good time and plan to eat here again soon!

Awesome Korean bbq! The restaurant is really nice and the side dishes are very tasty. The salad is very good too and the ACYE is very reasonably priced

Super impressed by this kbbq spot! We had a large group of 12 and they were able to sit us all on time and comfortably. The AYCE option A and side dishes were really good and service was top notch. Also the price point was very reasonable. All of us had a great experience dining here. I highly recommend checking this place out!

I love this food place! I've swung by numerous times but didn't have a chance to try it until I went with a friend. The service was great. We chose the option for two people, and the girl working there was fantastic. She was very friendly and provided excellent service. I forgot her name, but she was wonderful and even took great pictures for us. We walked in and didn't have to wait long for a table. It's a great Korean BBQ place inside the Vietnamese shopping center. I would definitely come back!

We came right before they hit a major rush and everything was amazing. The service was extremely attentive even with a group of 29 tourists descending on them. Staff were friendly and the food was great quality. Literally couldn't have had a better experience. We will definitely be back. 10/10

I came here for the Korean barbecue, initially I came and got only two orders of meat(bulgogi and thin pork belly). But I ended up still being hungry after that. The server talk to the manager and allowed me to switch to the all you could eat option where I got the spicy bulgogi and fire pan steak. The meat was a really good! Service was also really nice and fast, they offered to cook the food for you, however, I declined in order to do it myself. For $31 you get a great selection of meats to choose from and you have 90 minutes to grill to your hearts content. I was very happy with this meal and would definitely come back if I'm in the area. Food: 9.0 Staff/service: 9.0 Value: 9.0 Overall: 9.0/10

love the spicy bulgogi! very affordable and great quality. Service was kind and very fast

Came for the lunch (11:30-4pm) all you can eat. Our server was very diligent with setting up the grill and bringing out menu items. His time managament was superb which made the experience enjoyable. The apple mango sojo, kimchi, spicy bulgigi were delicious and my top items. My guest never had korean food before and can be a picky eater. They rated the experience a 5/5 so i would say this place is a go. Check it out if you are in the area.

The food is so great! This is my second time here and I love it. The server is always so great and helpful, and the price is sooo good especially at lunch

Great food , yummy love it will be coming back. 1st time experience. Great atmosphere

Firepan is definitely our top KBBQ place in Arlington. We came late on a Saturday night and only took about 20 mins to get seated. We opted for the AYCE menu and our top 3 favorite meats were the Firepan steak, the spicy bulgogi, and the spicy chicken. SO GOOD. The firepan steak really melts in your mouth. What we loved was the option to have the servers help cook your food (many other places in the area don't have this option). The service was great and the ambiance was perfect - not too loud or quiet, and the best part was no smoke!!

Get the table and food come out very fast! I was very hungry!! Nice service! They accept one person for All you can eat too! Quality meat and service!

Great ayce kbbq at a good price point. We had a family dc trip recently and made the great decision to stay in VA just outside DC. This allowed us to try out a couple of good Korean restaurants in the falls church area. Firepan was pretty good especially at this price point. They break down the ayce pricing further if you want to eat squid and octopus and ribeye - it's an additional $7 pp for dinner. At $7 less you still get pork belly and "firepan" steak. There's also some rolls that are only available at the higher pricing. Nothing with sashimi however, the rolls consisted of shrimp tempura, bulgogi and a double fried California roll. The ribeye was one of the highlights of the meal. It was decently tender and tasty. The brisket was pretty good but not as tender as it is at nj kbbq ayce establishments like butcher 360 or cast iron. The beef rib steak was my favorite. It's basically what their brisket should taste like and it was up there with the best kbbq briskets I've had. One disappointment was the server letting our meat get burned. I saw he manned several tables and liked to cook with the flame on highest. The other minor letdown was that they served tap water in jugs that at other Korean restaurants would be filtered water. These are minor gripes I suppose. The food and the pricing was great and service was timely if not a grill master.

Tried take out at this restaurant. I got the LA Galbi . I really enjoyed the sides although I wish there was a little more rice and I felt my galbi pieces were a little on the fattier side of other Galbi I've tried or maybe it was just missing some extra seconds on the grill . Nothing major to be concerned about and wouldn't mind going to the restaurant to try dine in!

Very clean, quick service, good food. The host was very attentive and made sure everything was running smoothly

It's just REALLY good-- especially for lunch. 23.99 for AYCE Lunch which includes all of option A. The firepan steak is fantastic and so is the soy pork belly. A must try for lunch in the Arlington area!

The food is always great here and it's always a 10/10. Shoutout to our guy Hanmin! Took great care of us.

Food is amazing, so is the ambiance !! One of the best Korean bbq spots in Virginia!!!

AYCE korean bbq restaurant in the Eden center. Meats were ok. The sauces could use improvement. Service was excellent though. Very attentive staff. We had no wait on a Sunday. Spacious inside.

Had a great experience here! We were seated immediately and our server Han was very attentive. He was very friendly and cooked our meat orders perfectly. All the food options were delicious. We chose option B for all you can eat, which was only $3 more from option A and allowed us to try some sushi rolls. Everything from the sides, meat, and sushi rolls were *chefs kiss.* The meats we chose were the brisket, thin pork belly, firepan steak, and the olive pork chop. I'm not usually into pork chop but the olive one was a pleasant surprise and marinated beautifully. Their corn cheese was the BEST corn cheese I have ever had! The inside of the restaurant had great ambience. I loved how everything was dark with mood lighting above each table. The k-pop videos were fun to watch while we ate as well.

Service here is fast and the meat is of high quality. Solid choice for KBBQ and better than the KPOT nearby as far as grilling meat goes.

10/10 Experience, I'd definitely try again. The staff here were extremely attentive! Highly recommend coming with an empty belly if your table plans to do the all you can eat for $36pp.

We went for AYCE and it was great! We tried brisket, steak, bulgogi and pork belly. All were same par with So BBq, Gopchang story or meat project. Banchan were plentiful with good side dishes. Service was great also. The price was great! It was only $22.99 for adult AYCE

Very pleasent and friendly staff and great atmosphere. Also it is located in ine of my favorite shopping centers in VA. I highly recommend you alp to try them out.

Great kbbq, I always get the AYCE option A. The meat quality is fantastic and I love the side dishes as well. The service was excellent - the meat comes out fast and they're very helpful with cooking the meat. We had to wait about 45 min for a table for 2 on a Friday night but it was worth it!

Went to Firepan with a group of 4 other people on a Saturday evening. The restaurant seemed very crowded and full of life. They didn't have any of the kpop playing, but that was fine with me. The restaurant was about 10-15 late for my reservation, but they texted and called when the table was ready. The menu had a large selection where everybody has to order the same AYCE experience. Our table chose Option C which gave access to all foods on the AYCE menu including some sushi options. The food came out quickly, was very fresh and full of flavor. It didn't take long for our orders to come out either. We also ordered a number of sake and Soju bottles that we drank eagerly. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone who wants some solid Kbbq in the Seven Corners area.

Food was great. Service was great. Vibe was great. No complaints. We had no idea when we ordered ribeye we were actually getting a whole ribeye! We left full and in a meat coma.

Great AYCE in the DC area! Friendly staff & great variety of meats & apps! Open late too

Awesome spot. Great service and quality of meat and seafood. Endless variety of delicious items. Fun for groups. Come hungry

Decent AYCE kbbq place in the area. Their meat portions are very generous and the servers are very attentive to assist you with cooking or ordering more. The price was very reasonable for what you get, with seafood as an added plus. Parking was or horrible when we went, but given that it's in a little corner of the eden center, parking can get pretty bad. We'd definitely come back.

Really really good Korean bbq! the service was great and the location is set inside a plaza with plenty of parking. I am writing a review for the free corn cheese which was really good! The only thing I was missing was bean sprouts other than that, really good spot for KBBQ!

Probably close to a 4.5 than a 4, but will say the wait is a bit long. Came as a party of 2 on a Friday night so that might've also played into the ~40 ish min wait. But beyond that Firepan KBBQ is probably one of the better kbbq places close to Arlington VA without needing to drive out to Annandale. We ended up going with the AYCE option B (cause frankly unless you're there with a large party including kids and people who have smaller appetites the AYCE is definitely the cheapest). DO NOT GET THE OPTION B unless you really enjoy Shrimp or Squid. The 2 steaks on the option B menu were by far the worst thing of the night and frankly not good overall. The beef belly rib was good but very comparable to the Brisket (which was the best thing on the menu). The Brisket and pork belly were tender and delicious. Went really well in the lettuce wrap with some rice and radish. Service was immaculate as well. There was a dedicated server who would come by and cook and cut the meat. We normally cook ourselves at kbbq places because sometimes there's too long of a gap and the meat burns but the guy at Fire pan was on it. Overall good place and will def be back.

Found Firepan as we were in the area and craving some KBBQ - all around it's a neat little place tucked away in the corner of a strip mall. Food is good, service is good - I'll be back!

Great KBBQ! We were able to make it to the lunch hour with our family of 10. The service is 10/10. We love the Firepan steak, so juicy and tender. It's conveniently in the EDEN Center so don't have to go too far.

Located in the Eden Garden where Vietnamese stores, businesses, and restaurants are located, is a lone Korean BBQ "all you can eat" (AYCE) establishment - whoa...its awesome. In addition to the AYCE, the menu has many traditional Korean cuisine, but my buddies and I were hungry and we wanted MEAT and MEAT + other delectable choices were offered. Unlike the online menu, the onsite menu has three options - Choose Option C. Why? In addition to the usual brisket, pork, etc. offered in Option A, Option B provides Korean style sushi/rolls (highly recommend the crazy bulgogi roll), and Option C includes more items such as octopus, squid, pork belly, etc. The banchans (side dishes) are tasty - the kimchee has a fishy flavor to it which I loved, and my buddy demolished the radishes. We usually order lettuce (to make Korean tacos) and garlic to add additional taste - your spouse may not kiss you after your meal because of the garlic. In addition to the awesome selection of meat (beef, pork, chicken, seafood (shrimp, baby octopus, squid), banchan, and service, they serve a variety of beer (Japanese, Korea, and domestic). Just remember, you are eating, not drinking or else your bill will quickly rise. Service is quick and they replace the grill and banchans often. 90 minutes quickly passes, but you will feel so satiated with great flavored meat you will need to take a walk of the area...there are a few boba tea establishments and bakeries you can stop by to take some dessert home. A pleasant surprise to find a Korean BBQ establishment in an area full of Vietnamese establishment - try it, you will not be disappointed.

My partner and I ventured to Firepan for his birthday. Stoneridge in Woodbridge offers plenty of parking and we enjoy the area for a night out. He had never had Korean BBQ, so I thought it would be a fun experience for him. I've had Korean BBQ in Koreatown in NYC and out in California. This experience does not compare to those experiences, but it was still a fun time for us. Firepan offers an AYCE option, which we opted for. We tried soy chicken thighs, spicy chicken thighs, spicy pork chop, and spicy pork belly. Though we were looking for more spice, the spicy thighs and the spicy pork chops were our favorite. The server also cooks the food for you, which, in my opinion, takes away from the experience a bit. The banchan was nice, but again, I expected more options. In the end, it was a fun night and I look forward to eating here again in the future.

Being Korean from NOVA, I've always been told that the best KBBQ is in Annandale, but Firepan may have permanently changed my mind about that. I made a reservation for nine people for 7:30pm on a Sunday about three days in advance, but you can usually make reservations through Yelp for smaller parties within a day or two of planning to eat there (I'd highly recommend doing this: it can get pretty crowded if you try to get a walk-in). Located in the ever-popular Eden Center and surrounded by a plethora of Asian markets and restaurants, it's telling that this restaurant has lasted despite having so much nearby competition! The restaurant itself looks small from the outside, but is fairly spacious inside, with high ceilings and reverberating music pounding from the speakers, accompanied by large TV screens playing both K-pop and American hit music videos. Since we had a reservation, we were seated almost immediately by a friendly hostess, who led us to our expansive table with two clean burners. We were first served a generous amount of banchan - everything was good, with a lightly dressed, refreshing salad, slightly sweet cubed pickled radish with jalapeños, julienned spicy pickled radish, and pungent, crunchy kimchi. Their pickled radish wraps are also especially good served with the succulent meat! My party opted for the AYCE Option A ($29.99/person), which comes with a wide variety of meats, but doesn't have all of the premium options that come with Option B ($34.99, and comes with some more beef/seafood options) - we found that the variety was plenty for us! They brought out a tray of seasonings and sauces for each of us to sample: a savory soy-garlic sauce (great for), ssamjang (a rich, spicy soybean paste), orange chili sauce (I found this a bit too sweet for my liking), salt and pepper, and gochujang (a red chili paste). Each sauce pairs well with a different cut of meat (I like to go sweet/spicy for the leaner meats, and more savory/spicy with the fattier ones). Additionally, you can also ask for Doenjang-Jjigae (spicy soybean soup), Soondubu-Jjigae (spicy soft tofu soup), and Gyeran-Jjim (Korean steamed egg with dashi) on the side to accompany your meats, as well as unlimited rice. I particularly enjoyed the Soondubu-Jjigae, which was soul-warming and had perfectly soft tofu and al-dente vegetables, and the rest of my table loved eating the steamed egg with rice and soy sauce, but I would be careful not to fill up on these sides! We first started off with the Chadol-Baegi, which is thinly sliced brisket. This is a true test of how good a KBBQ spot is, since this isn't the most flavorful/fatty cut of meat, so you can really assess the quality of the beef. The meat was well-marbled with a good flavor, and paired really well with the gochujang. Then, we moved onto the Firepan Steak, which is a thicker cut of meat marinated in the classic Korean galbi marinade, which is a sweet soy-based sauce with a touch of garlic. This was fatty and delicious, and tasted like LA-galbi (except it wasn't on the bone), and we loved it paired with the tart acidity of the radish wraps. Once we'd had our fill of beef, we tried the Spicy Pork Chop: this was absolutely delicious, and definitely an underrated cut of meat at Firepan. It was tender and juicy, with the perfect combination of sweetness and spice in the marinade. At that point, we saw another table order a large plate of lettuce to make ssam (traditional Korean lettuce wraps), and we did the same: the pork paired with the fresh, crunchy lettuce was out of this world! Lastly, as is customary with KBBQ, we cooked the fattiest cut of meat: pork belly/samgyupsal. We sampled both the Unmarinated Pork Belly and the Spicy Pork Belly, the first being savory and umami when paired with sauces, and the latter packing a good kick while still letting the richness of the pork belly shine through. Again, these were both insane paired with the lettuce wraps and a good portion of ssamjang/gochujang to cut the fattiness. Since we had three teenage boys in our group, they were ravenous, and when they saw an advertisement touting a promotion where leaving a review merited a free Corn Cheese for the table, they immediately jumped on this deal, writing a quick Google review and showing our server. Within five minutes, a steaming dish of the famous Korean "drunk food" came out. Being lactose intolerant, I couldn't sample this, but my friends described it as "life changing." Overall, Firepan was an amazing experience, with friendly (though not always efficient - we had to ask multiple times to get our grill pan changed) service, delicious food, and a menu with a wide variety at a great value! I personally liked this better than Kogiya, and it's closer to DC, so I guess I've found my new go-to spot for KBBQ in the DMV!

The food taste was exquisitely delicious. I recommend having them cook your meats. You can do it yourself but you're paying for service and they offer so why not. Our server was very helpful and attentive to our needs.i recommend coming here a little early due to long wait times. Not sure if you can do an online waiting list but if so, highly recommend. Pricing was shocking as I was expecting to pay $$$ but it was fairly priced and again, food quality with a lot of selection was amazing. I think this spot is my first choice for Korean BBQ. I only have one recommendation, the walls need some love as the signs on the walls had dust bunnies that need some cleaning. Other than that, 5 star would have been my rating.

I LOVE this place! It is hands down one of the top Korean BBQ restaurants in the area. I reside in Annandale and have tried numerous Korean eateries, but this one truly stands out in terms of flavor and service. The manager, in particular, is exceptional - incredibly attentive and provides top-notch service!

Awesome KBBQ place we stumbled upon before going home to Virginia Beach. We've been to many in NOVA and this one might very well take the cake. Our server, Han was absolutely fantastic. He cooked the BBQ to perfection and really paid attention to detail while serving us. The food, my god! The food was DELICIOUS! We got the AYCE option A and B which included sushi. The way they tempura fry their rolls is impeccable. We got the Crazy spicy bulgogi roll and the classic shrimp tempura. As far as meats go, we got beef brisket, fire pan steak, thin sliced pork belly, and olive pork chop. The pork chop and steak were marinated to perfection and the sliced meats were delicious and crispy. We got free corn cheese for doing a review. It was a well deserved review for our boy, HAN! This was hands down the BEST corn cheese ever!!!!!! All of the food and service we got really put the FIRE in Firepan. We will be coming back for sure.

The start of the night wasn't great. We had a 715 reservation. Didn't get seated til 745. And kept being told just a few minutes more. It was a mess and it's clear the reservation seems more like a suggestion. But then we got seated and it was a whole new world. Our server was excellent. He cooked the food well and ensured our kimchi and sauces were all filled. And the AYCE option was great. We got the the steak which was great and so was the soy chicken. The spicy bulgogi was tasty too though a bit fatty and chewy. The thick cut pork belly was a miss. Just a bit bland. We did like the steamed egg. Nice and fluffy. Overall we left happy and full. And for $70 for two we definitely got our money's worth.
