Gogigo Korean BBQ - Frederick,MD

This is my favorite Korean Barbecue place! I can tell the meat is high quality, and my husband and kids always have such a good time (we are like 50 minutes away. I enjoy that the noise factor is better than other Korean Barbecue places that echo. The service is timely and I appreciate the Korean murals on the wall, has a little bit more of a traditional feel. Also, I found their Ramen section really fun. I give this place a 10/10! I also appreciate their smaller portions on their cold noodles, it was so yummy!

Excellent Korean BBQ. First time having Korean BBQ in the US and I found it to be perfectly executed. We had the all you can eat A with multiple rounds of brisket, beef bulgogi, shrimp and chicken. This included a bimbimbap and ramen station as well as excellent sides and sauces. Perfect place to take my three teenagers!

Always a great experience eating here! The food is very delicious and very homey. Service is spectacular. The waiters and waitresses are very helpful and friendly. I recommend this place to anyone who enjoys Korean BBQ!

10s across the bored! The meat is top quality (you have to get the L.A. Galbi). I have been to quite a few kbbq places across the northern east coast and I still always end up at Gogigo! The service is from all the staff is attentive and fun. My favorite server is Miae. If you want a good time try to sit at one of her tables! 💖

The best staff and KBBQ around! My boyfriend and I have been coming here since we starting dating and we are always greeted with a smile and the best service. Sam was great, attentive, and helpful server. Miae is the kindest soul- always asking us how we are doing and making sure we are taken care of. Seriously my favorite place to eat in Frederick. Great quality of food! I personally love their kimchi, japche, and garlic pork belly. A must visit if you are in the area!

Despite it being an all you can eat buffet, the portions of meat are very sizable- every single one filled up our grill and it was all so good!!! Our favorite meats were the thing beef briskets and beef bulgogi from the A set; and we got several orders of the corn cheese, steamed egg, and vegetable madu (fried dumplings). All of the servers were really nice and welcoming, as well as being attentive. It was a wonderful experience and we'll definitely be coming back again!!

We love this place. Mae is so welcoming and the food is delicious. I love the atmosphere and every time we are treated so well. I recommend this restaurant for families and date night.

This is my favorite new food experience. I appreciate everything about this place! Impulsively stopped for dinner with my son. I love good food, good service, good atmosphere with a culturally new experience and this place knocked it out of the park. Prepare to be impressed and the experience is very moderately priced for what it is in my opinion. We'll be back soon and thanks for having us!

Food was awesome. Brisket was so yummy, and the house sauce was to die for. Spicy soy sauce was on the rice the whole night and was amazing.

I would give this place a 4.5 star rating, but the excellent service and quality of the meat rounds them up! The banchan selection could be improved (it was a bit lacking in quality and taste). However, we mainly came for the meat so it didn't bother us. We ordered mostly beef: brisket, ribeye, Galbi, and the hanger steak were great quality and the main reason why I rounded up to a 5! Their restaurant has a good ambiance and is very clean. The grill has a nice overhead/adjustable ventilation system that I wish other KBBQ places had. The unlimited bibimbap and ramen bar is also great. Overall had a great experience and will definitely be back!

Gogigo is okay as far as Korean BBQ goes. Frederick does not seem to have as much diversity as Montgomery County, so keep that in mind when looking for Asian food. I have been here twice and probably won't come again due to better options closer to me. We opted for the AYCE menu A for $31 each, which includes 3 beef options, several pork options, chicken options, and 4 seafood options. I was bummed that when we tried to order the squid, we were informed they were out and had octopus as a replacement- which I do not like. They were also out of one of the pork options at that time. The meat itself was pretty decent, and they brought out large portions. They also had a good variety of side dishes, such as japchae noodles, corn cheese, and vegetable mandu. The staff were friendly and helpful. but it was a bit of a confusing experience because we let them know twice that we could grill our food (once with the signage at the table, and once verbally), yet they kept coming to put our meat on or to flip it. Maybe they were just not busy at that time and felt helpful, but we enjoy the experience to cook it and take our time. Overall, it is a good deal and good experience, but I am just too spoiled by other KBBQ places that this one fell flat.

All you can eat with reasonable price. Quality food, tasted meat. Attentive service, friendly staff. Convenient location with ease of parking. Inside air conditioning was cranked up due to the amount of bbqing that's going on love the flaming vibe. Good for large groups or couples. Highly recommend by IG@WineDinenVacay

So happy we tried this place tonight. At 7pm on a Friday they were able to seat us immediately. Mae was our waitress and she was so funny and personable. Honestly everyone that helped us was amazing and they were HUSTLIN busy. They gave us recommendations of meat to order and what dips to use it with. They have AYCE menu A and B. Both have great options and cost 31/38 depending on which menu you get. The food was delicious, highly recommend the Hawaiian bulgogi, spicy chicken and hanger steak. We will definitely be back soon!

This is by far the best Korean barbecue I have ever had not only are they super friendly but they are so helpful even if you are starter, they have the best staff that makes you feel so welcomed, the place is always clean and it's always the best service. But you will also get some bombast margaritas

Best Korean BBQ in the DMV and the service is always on point! Worth the 1.5 hour drive from DC!!

This place was phenomenal, the food was delicious and they knocked it out of the park for my friends birthday. We got a dessert, picture, and tshirt. Will definitely be back, thank you!!

We tried GogiGo and the food is delicious and flavors are on point. I enjoy their quality of meats and selection of bon chon or "side plates." I enjoyed the Hawaiian Bulgogi and Galbi. However, I was not a fan of their stringent "rules." You're allowed only three meats of your choice at one time. Then for children AYCE, they charge by height, not age. Also they will charge you if you order "too much." The ambiance is busy and loud. Lots of activity going back and forth, but the service is quick and efficient. The servers were constantly checking on our table to ensure we got refills in a timely manner, which was much appreciated. I'm glad to have a Korean restaurant option in Frederick and looking forward to going back.

Gogigo is very good for the price. Good quality meat and with short rib included. The sides were good and plentiful but the appetizers were lacking. The corn cheese and steamed egg come in tiny little tins which need multiple per person to satisfy. I will definitely go back for the meat.

This was our first time at a Korean bbq restaurant, so I don't have prior experience. Very friendly staff! We made a reservation for 6 and were sat immediately, but it was extremely busy when we left 90 minutes later. Our waitress explained how it worked and left us to order. We chose option A (all you can eat). 3 meats to start. The portions were huge, which is not necessarily the best thing. We cooked the beef bulgogi and were almost full! Then we cooked the shrimp and we're definitely done - we still had a huge plate of spicy chicken. Everything was delicious, but too much food for just 2 when doing all you can eat. It is hot, crowded, and you have to cook so fast. I think I would much prefer to come at lunch (with more people), so we could slow it down and try more things.

We've been to a few Korean bbq in Maryland and I am so excited to have one so much closer to home! Usually we are driving down to Rockville or germantown so I couldn't wait to try GogiGo shortly after it opened. We went as a group of 7 and they were easily able to accommodate. The service was excellent and the staff was very attentive to our needs. I loved the unlimited sides and the meats were good quality. We had a great time enjoying the food, service, and company. We finished with about 10 min left of the 90 min time limit and left feeling satisfied.

First time at a Korean BBQ place. Order your meats and cook for yourself. With a party of 8 it was super fun. The downside of this is that it was pretty cramped. The tables aren't quite large enough. All you can eat lowest option is $31 per person but it was fun and worth it I think! Make sure whoever likes to cook is sitting in the middle. Rice and water refills just kept coming fast which is nice and there are plenty of servers that you can place your next order with anyone. Great service and delicious food. I think atmosphere could be better and spacing/seating.

A quick review based on a first visit at lunch time a week after their grand opening, so stay tuned for a future update... Ambiance: very nice, modern interior. It's a typical "cook your own" Korean BBQ so the focus is on having lots of small grills, which limits table space and seating. Spousal Unit and I were seated at a table for four. We had to continually rearrange plates and dishes throughout our meal, making it a bit of a logistical challenge to separate plates of raw meat from other dishes. Do-able, but a bigger table with a lazy susan ring around the grill for banchan would have helped. Did not see any larger groups so could not tell how they managed. Food: You can order a la carte, but why would you want to? You have several AYCE options. The least expensive (Option A) includes three kinds of beef, four kinds of chicken, four kinds of port, and an assortment of banchan (sides, soups, and dumplings) with rice. You can also get veggies (onions, etc) to add to the grill. You cook the meats on the grill, and eat them as desired with (unlabeled) sauces from bottles on the table. Flavors were good and as as an AYCE place, portions are what ever you want them to be. Value: Option A is priced at $31 at dinner, making it a very good value - but at lunch, the price drops to $22 making it exceptional. We walked out stuffed and very happy. (One note: dining time is limited to 60 minutes at lunch and 90 minutes at dinner. so plan accordingly). Since Frederick's last Korean restaurant closed back in the '90s, I've had to drive to Ellicott City to get my BBQ fix. Is GoGi Go as good as Honey Pig or Chosun Hwaro? Time will tell. I hope Gogi Go cuts down my driving and fills my stomach for many, many years.

I'm so happy a KBBQ spot is available in Frederick! We've been to this spot a few times now (4-5 maybe?). It's usually a little busy, but not much of a wait. The service is pretty quick here as well, which is nice since there is a time limit for the AYCE options. We've gotten other options, but now we stick with option A as we don't feel the quality of meats in the other options are worth the extra price since everyone at the table has to get the same option. They give you a good amount of meat to start with, so everyone is able to eat relatively quickly without having to wait forever. The one thing I don't like about coming here is how the tables are set up. It is one big table for 8 people, but it is divided into 2 tables (2 parties of 4). The reason I don't like the setup is because you end up way too close to the party next to you, if someone is sitting there. Last time I came, the man in the party over kept bumping elbows with me. It was very uncomfortable and awkward. In addition to sharing a table with another party, the table space itself is very limited. We come back because the proximity to Frederick, the food is good for what you pay, and the service is relatively good. If it wasn't for the table set up, I would give this place 5 stars. I've had too many uncomfortable incidents with other parties AND not enough table space. It takes away from the dining experience as a whole in my opinion. Will I come back? Yes. I love me some KBBQ and clearly I've been here a few times since its open. Do I wonder if I'd rather drive the extra 30-40 mins to be more comfortable and slightly better meat quality? Yes I do. I would still recommend trying this spot out. It's not bad and I've recommended to a few people, but always with the warning about the table set up.

This place, at best, is decent in a pinch. However, with plenty of better options in areas like Rockville, the only thing that has me coming back here is distance. Pros: The AYCE options are a good bang for your buck, the cuts and marinade are good and you get what you pay for. The sauces are great, I'm glad you can also ask for lettuce raps, garlic, and samjang on the side for a more authentic meal. Both times I've been here I had the same waitress who was engaging and helpful. Cons: The side dishes are left to be desired. Bulgogi Fries are mediocre, the Pork Dumplings I ordered had to be sent back because they were still cold in the middle (and even after waiting ages to get them remade, I still had 1 or 2 pieces that were cold inside), and the corn cheese was just sad. Service was slow. I understand this place has just opened up and with seemingly a majority of staff being teenagers, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. But with so many people running around, everything seemed a bit disorganized and we were often left over looked. Banchan was always left un replenished. Overall, as one of Frederick's first KBBQ restaurants, it's a convenient place to quickly fulfill my KBBQ cravings. But I would still drive half an hour to the next town for better service and quality.

I'm so glad to have Korean BBQ place in Frederick. Visited Saturday lunch around 12:20pm. No waiting when we got here but saw people were waiting when we were getting out. The food was great, and the service was good! Personally the price is a little high ($31 and up per person; but not many varieties for AYCE option A) but what doesn't nowadays. It feels a little disoriented overall because the restaurant just opened last week. But definitely I will visit again. If you want to make a Ssam, ask the server for sssamjang (soybean paste) or sesame oil and lettuce leaf. They will give it to you.

GogiGo is a great addition to Frederick, MD! Went here with my sister despite the mixed reviews, but figure we should go see and experience it personally. I had the all you can eat a+b option roughly $36 per person. I enjoyed the interior, design and layout of the place. The tables are wide enough for drinks side dishes etc. the only thing i disliked were the chairs. They are utterly uncomfortable, especially after 30mins of sitting. The food were good! Gogi steak, beef brisket, and spicy squid were delicious. I did not like that the marinated steak and pork belly had so much fat on them. But also there are variety of other choices of protein. They do offer basket of lettuce and other veggie side dishes which is good with meats. Be sure to ask for the SESAME OIL, sprinkle some salt and pepper and it taste amazing with your beef. The service was exceptional. Servers were very accomidating and helpful. The guy who brought us the meats was great, did not let us wait too long inbetween ordering. There was also an elder ajumma who were very thoughtful and nice! Lowkey taught us to wrap the beefs in lettuce with the garlic + spiced paste they give you. I thought that was the most humbling thing! The grill was good, but the oil from fatty meat were dripping down on the open flame not sure if thats safe. Maybe it is just how it is. Overall, good food, good service, great hood above the grill (keeping smoke/smell minimal).

The service was spectacular and we had such a fun time! We left feeling so full and can't wait to come back again

I am half Korean and my husband and I went to GogiGo about a week or two ago. We enjoyed the food very much. The way the menu was set up was a bit out of the norm, but we finally figured out that I would get a Bibimbap bowl and my husband got a serving of bulgogi. It would have been way too much to get two entrees of meat, but our combination left us both full and very satisfied. They serve small dishes of side veggies, too. There was plenty of food and it was delicious and fresh. Our bill was very reasonable and I even had two glasses of wine. The wait staff was very attentive, helpful and polite. They were not too busy when we were there, so we got plenty of attention. I hope they are doing well; I would love to eat there again, even regularly!

I've been here about 6 times since they opened. Food is good, price is a little high, but well within range for value received. Staff is always attentive and available. Great teamwork from all of them. Why only 4 stars? They tend to seat you in areas next to others when there's clearly visible space. Also, be aware of cross contamination! I see the staff do some sloppy dangerous things sometimes, but honestly they're not as bad as some I've seen. Overall, good place and I would recommend them and will return.

We moved back to Frederick and when we heard about a KBBQ spot in town we were ecstatic! We've been to Gogigo several times and every time it's wonderful! It has been around for a bit so they should have all of the staffing kinks worked out. Every time my partner and I have gone we've had a wonderful time. The staff is attentive and informative. I noticed that they are also very willing to help customers who aren't sure of what to do when it comes to KBBQ. The price is fair given what the cost of food is these days. What I appreciate is if you just want 1/2 a portion of something from their AYCE they're willing to do that and I haven't experienced that before. The Ssamjjang is *chef kiss*. The bathrooms are clean, ambiance is good not too club like, not too barebones either. I enjoy the K-POP they play as well. If you've never tried KBBQ, Gogigo is the place to go!

Wow. This was so good. The food AND the service! This was my first Korean barbecue experience and I'll definitely be back!

This spot is a gem. Amazing Korean bbq. What made the experience even better, was our server Rachel. She was great

Amazing service and super friendly wait staff! I have always been treated like a family friend when I go in. The meat quality is top notch and the service is impecable!

The best up and coming KBBQ! The quality of the meat is great and I love their spicy galbitang. It was sooo savory and satisfying. I always get friendly service with smiling staff when I'm here and love cocktails here. My favorite was the Sakura. They were playing good music and I was able to enjoy my time for dinner.

The food was ok but only the ribeye steak was worth it. The service was bad, not enough people to tend to tables. The space between people not much. Also lacking options for sides. No lettuce and the marinades to sweet on the bulgogi so it's not true Korean style. Need fresh ingredients.

We went for Mother's Day and loved their food. It was a fun experience! Everything was so delicious! We will be back again. Workers were very generous.

Ate here tonight and all the meat was fresh and the sides were really good. Many different sides were available and I think it is reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The place seemed very organized for only opening 2-3 weeks ago and we were seated within 30 minutes. I'm so excited that Frederick finally has Korean BBQ, we will be back!

Service is good. Staff is friendly. Food is fresh and flavorful. Order A La Carte for leftovers. No leftovers allowed if you do all you can eat. Great for groups since the tables have room for 8 people and two grills.

I'll start with a disclaimer that I've never been to a Korean BBQ place before. I enjoy going out to dinner to be in a relaxing environment where I order and am given what I want. Most importantly, it's a meal I don't have to cook. So right there is three strikes against me. Gogi Go has been open for a few weeks now and I've been excited to visit for months. We went as a party of four on a Thursday night at 6PM. We had about a 25-minute wait. I think the very limited waiting area (and no pagers) is a bad design for a restaurant that takes quite a while to finish a meal. We were seated at a large, shared table with two grills and eight chairs separated by a small divider. One of the staff dropped off several small dishes of various vegetables without telling us anything about them. I still have no idea what they were. Our server eventually stopped (after 5-10 minutes) and briefly explained how the AYCE worked and took our drink order. Their bar isn't fully stocked yet and seemed to only have Asian beers and rice wine. Water it was. We placed our three meat items (beef bulgogi, chicken something and soy shrimp) and the trays arrived in fairly short order. Here's my first real issue. At a four-top, there's no room for all the drinks, meats, various bowls, dishes and utensils. Not only is there no room, but there is also a real concern with cross contamination of the food while cooking and just having the raw meat dishes left at the table for most of the meal. Especially, with a single tong given to cook and serve everything. (we did get a second) The second issue I had was, as an avid griller, the temperature of our grill was very low. The surface area was pretty small too. It took at least five minutes to cook the shrimp and close to 15 minutes to cook the chicken. They did have adequate ventilation at the tables, no worse than going to a teppanyaki restaurant like Miyako's. We didn't get our money's worth (four people for $200), but that isn't a huge deal to me. I just didn't enjoy the experience of the meal. I feel a lot of that is my fault, this is not for me. But the shortcoming of the activity is real. Cramped tables, food contamination (yeah, I paid for that later), slow service getting refills, lack of clarity on how to order stuff; I think these are things that Gogi Go can fix going forward. I hope so because I want them to succeed. I do not think we will return.

The few things that will not make me return to this place is the purchase of individual cans of soda. It may seem insignificant but it's definitely a deal breaker when you are spending an arm and a leg for a meal but there are no refillable drinks!!!?????? Sorry it's absurd. Keep in mind each can is over $2!!!! The second is the shared tables separated by a plastic partition (whoever designed this it's just a no) you are literally having dinner with people you don't know right next to you..it's really uncomfortable. It was my little girls 9th birthday and I have to say I regretted paying what I did since it was such a bad experience.

Don't waste your money on this EXPENSIVE and CONFUSING experience with your family unless you know what you're doing. We spent over $130 for our fam of 4 for all you can eat and couldn't even take home our leftovers due to their policy. It's not like we asked for more food. The initial buffet portion they brought for $31 per-adult ($19 per 5 foot kid.. less per 4 foot kid... seriously?) was way more than enough, but we couldn't eat it all. We asked for a to-go box and they had a policy saying they couldn't give us one with the buffet. We asked what they were possibly going to do with our food, and they said they would throw it away. So, instead of letting the people who paid for the food take it home, they threw away about 15 cooked shrimp and over a half pound of cooked chicken. I might get it if a group of college kids purposely ordered more food to take advantage of the buffet and load their dorm room fridge with a week's protein, but you should at least get to take home your initial order that was cooked at your table. Also, the restaurant assumes the average person from Frederick, MD knows how to eat Korean BBQ, which.... guess what?....WE DON'T. We go there to learn and experience something new. There were no directions or suggestions anywhere, which is important, especially when you're mixing raw beef, poultry, and seafood, together with the same utensils, as I think I did. I'm just glad I'm not heaving brisket in the toilet right now. I may have given one more star if the food tasted good, but I had no idea how to cook or mix and match the ingredients. We aimlessly mixed a bunch of stuff in bowl and got full. In the end, our waiters seemed to forget about us and we had to flag them down for the check. If nothing else, try it Ala Carte on a date. Don't take your family for the first time. Over $130 for a lesson learned. My guess is that this place won't be around long unless they listen to local customers. I wish them the best, but won't go back unless they make significant changes.

Came in with a party of six. The main issue I had with this place was the service and lack of available options. Seems like everything I asked for was sold out. When we needed instruction on how everything worked, it was like pulling teeth. The food was ok, the steak was full of fat. We got the AYCE 2 protein option. The shrimp was great, chicken was ok. Overall the experience was lacking. There was no excitement to the process and we were timed. I get there are rules to this to prevent people from taking advantage of the system but you can make it less apparent that you're trying to rush people out. Not sure if I would recommend this place.

The food here was amazing! As someone who frequents kbbq in NOVA a lot, I was surprised to find that the meats were equally as good! The service was very friendly and I would definitely come back.

Great food and great service. Was stuffed when we left. Reasonable prices too. Only had to wait 30 mins at 6:00 on a Saturday. Very efficient service.

"Great place to eat! The food and service are excellent. The ambiance is charming." There is a lot of food to choose from.

This is a really good place! The server explains all the options and even puts the meat and veg on the cooking surface, and lets you know when it's fully cooked. The meat is delicious. Some sauces are on the table, but I didn't need to use them. The little bowls of veggies are kind of bland, except for the kimchi. But it's not too spicy. Nothing to be afraid of here. I was really impressed with the server. She was pkeasant, helpful and friendly. This is well worth your time. It's kind of expensive, but not too much

Had a great visit today. Our waiter was awesome! Amazing service. The food was very good. Made exactly how I wanted it. Will return.

The food here is amazing!!! We loved the beef bulgogi and sides! Definitely recommend!

We went as a party of six (five adults and one toddler) to give this new kbbq spot a try. This was their opening weekend, and we went at 4pm so that they weren't too busy. They sat us down at a table for six with one grill. While disappointing, this is something many Korean bbq places do, and it shouldn't matter as long as the portions are big enough and delivered to the table in a timely manner. After all, you're on a 90 minute time limit if you decide to get the all you can eat option. I don't like to rag on servers having worked in the restaurant industry myself, but our waiter was not cut out for the job. From the get go, it seemed like he didn't understand English enough to answer my question about what the difference between two of their steaks were, so I gave up after a few attempts. After that, every round of orders that we put in had something wrong. From missing items, to incorrect variations of items, to items that we didn't order, things just didn't seem to click. On top of that, his other tables were on the opposite side of the restaurant, so his stops at ours were very infrequent. After we were done cooking every round, we'd sit there with an empty grill for 5-10 minutes waiting for him so we can put in our next order. Thankfully the 90 minute limit wasn't enforced for us, but we were there for over two hours until we were satisfied. Not because we eat a lot, but because of the time it took waiting around. In the middle of our meal, we realized that we were seated directly next to a giant pot filled with grill cleaner, as servers kept opening it to place dirty grill plates in, making our area smell. They even dropped a big holding lid for one of the grill plates right behind our chairs, leaving it there for at least half an hour, essentially blocking two of us in. After our last round was ordered, our waiter just disappeared completely, and we eventually had to go to the front desk to ask for the bill. The food was alright. They take the route of strong marinades to make up for okay meat quality. For the price, you can do better, though you'd have to go out to Rockville or VA. The portions were tiny for a table of 6, even when we ordered double portions (8 shrimp per order, 4 or 5 pieces of brisket per person, etc). Though that may be attributed to our waiter's mistakes. Our favorites were the spicy pork bulgogi and shrimp. The banchan were great though, and the sides were decent as well. The sauces left a lot to be desired, with the three options being yum yum, sweet chili, and some thick sweet dark soy sauce. There was no light option and since they were all a paste consistency, they all felt "heavy" both physically and taste wise. There needs to be a simple salt and sesame oil option, or at least a "lighter" soy option. Overall, this was a disappointing experience for us, which is a bummer since it's the only Korean bbq spot in Frederick. Hopefully these are just the woes of a new restaurant, but they have a lot to improve on.

If I had only one type of food to eat for the rest of my life, it would be Korean. Having lived in Korea for two years, it's tough to find authentic Korean food in the states. GogiGo NAILS it!

I absolutely loved my experience there on my birthday with my friends and daughter. The food was amazing. The staff was very nice. I highly recommend going.

Came here on opening weekend and the food was great! They had all the cuts of meat I liked and the sides were great. The service was also good as our server gave us everything we needed. Solid kbbq place and would definitely come again.

I went on their grand opening day on 1/18 and it was delicious!! Their banchan was so good especially their japchae and corn. They gave out large portions of meat and surprisedly my favorite was their squid. Usually at Ironage when I got their squid it was precooked but the squid here came out raw so when it was cooked it wasn't too chewy. We also tried their corn cheese and steamed egg which came in single sized aluminum tins. They both were really yummy and cooked to perfection. I definitely would recommend this place for other people to try!!!! The only thing I would have wanted would have been a salad but they do give lettuce if you ask. I asked the server about it though and they said they'll be adding it in the near future! I'm excited to see them improve even more since they just opened.

Very solid KBBQ. If you've experience with KBBQ joints toward DC, I'd pin it above Honey Pig, but it's not on the level of Iron Age (yet?). Very inoffensive atmosphere, but nothing to write home about. It's a newly opened restaurant at the time of writing, so keep that in mind when you visit. Great service, but we went on a weeknight. The meat was high quality and well-prepped. Loved the beef bulgogi, liked the non-marinated pork/beef options, and would like to see them tweak the spicy bulgogi marinades a bit. The one point of feedback I would offer is to reconsider the dipping sauces. They're obviously rebottled YumYum, Thai sweet chili, and a generic sweet soy. I really missed sesame oil as a dipping sauce, which is a pretty standard sauce at KBBQ places. We will definitely go back - but I'll ask for sesame oil when I do.

***** My wife and I had the most exceptional lunch there last Friday, June 14th. It was our 1st time there and upon entering, we were immediately struck by how beautifully designed, well lit and spacious the modern looking interior was. The food and service by Hanna were exceptional. We came famished and each ordered the $42 A, B, C All You Can Eat lunch which gave us a chance to sample the most number of dishes. And we were very glad we did. The appetizers were abundant and delicious and the Rib Eye Steak, chicken, pork and shrimp BBQ's were of very high quality and very tasty. We look forward to our next visit. John and Carol

Side dishes could be a lot better. Staff is friendly and attentive. Alcohol drinks a little on the pricey side. Lively Korean bbq makes a good addition to the local restaurant scene. in an area lacking many good Asian spots

Disappointing. Mediocre. Ambiance could be better. Tables too close to each other. I had better and cheaper kbbq elsewhere. Not going back.
