Osteria Morini Temporarily Closed After Kitchen Fire in Navy Yard | Eater DC

"I learned that a former Mellow Mushroom at 33 Maryland Avenue in Rockville Town Square is being converted into multiple Asian restaurants, with Gyuzo Japanese BBQ slated to occupy part of the building." - Gabe Hiatt

This has got to be my all time favorite restaurant, and this time Frank made our experience even better! This spot is over an hour away from us but I still find myself coming back here a couple times a year. The atmosphere, food, and service are always incredible! My wife and I stopped by for lunch for a bento box, this comes with a lot of sides which made it a perfect size lunch. The “Sakemosa’s” were flavorful and packed a great punch! To top off the lunch we mentioned to Frank that it was our 1 year wedding anniversary and he brought us out some delicious Oreo cheesecake to share :) I’ve been coming to Gyuzo ever since they first opened when I happened to walk in one day, and they always improve each time I come. Maybe it’s a good thing I live over an hour away because if I didn’t they would have a lot of my money! Excellent as always

One of the best Asian bbq places. All of the meat were top quality, and the food came out very promptly. Frank, our server, was awesome. He calmly explained everything, periodically made sure we were good, including filling up our water. Will come back here again!

The best restaurant in Rockville! We went for lunch on a weekend and had a wonderful experience. The waitress was extremely considerate, warm, and knowledgeable, which made us feel very welcome. We ordered the $89.99 set for two. The portion size was generous — definitely enough for two people. The quality of the beef was excellent, absolutely worth the price. The complimentary side dishes were also refreshing and flavorful. Overall, a great dining experience — highly recommended!

I can not stress enough how awesome this place is! The music is a vibe but also not so loud that you cant have a conversation...so great for out with friends or a date night. It was my sister and I first time there and we ate til we couldn't anymore. Everything was fresh. And our server Jane was so bubbly, patient and very helpful with showing us how the all you can eat works and pointing out guest favorites to start with. 10/10 experience and I dont say that often. Definitely coming back with my girlfriend 😊

I had an amazing experience today! This restaurant is already my favorite, but Leah made this visit the best one yet. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely made us feel taken care of. Out of all the times I’ve been here, she has been the best server by far. Thank you, Leah, for making our meal even more special, can’t wait to come back!

I found out about this place through Instagram and other reviews and I decided to check it out. I went for dinner on a weeknight so I had no problem getting a table. The restaurant is nicely decorated. It's dark with low mood lighting and the music playing is definitely giving night life vibes. The staff is super friendly and my server J.M. was knowledgeable about the menu and was able to explain how everything works. You can choose to either order from the a la carte menu or you can choose from one of the few different all you can eat options. The price point is a bit on the higher side but to me it's worth it because you are getting great quality food and an elevated experience. I chose to order from the a la carte menu. I started off with a sushi roll and an appetizer. The Far East Rainbow Roll came first. It was beautifully presented and the fish was very good quality. I did ask if they were able to substitute the salmon for either yellowtail or tuna and they were very nice and accommodating. I ended up having the salmon replaced with more tuna and it was so good! Sushi is one of my favorites and I can't wait to try the other rolls. My appetizer came out next and the presentation was so cool! I had ordered the Oyster Tsunami which was three oysters topped with uni, caviar, and a ponzu sauce. When it was brought to the table it was presented with a dry ice effect which was cool to see. I had never tried uni before and although the flavor profile of the uni ended up not being my favorite I am glad that I tried it and overall I liked the appetizer a lot. I will say I wish there were more than three oysters in the appetizer. For my main choices I went with the spicy chicken thigh, duck breast, and lobster tail. The chicken was really good. It was juicy, flavorful, and definitely had some spice but it was not overwhelmingly hot. The duck breast was good quality but the marinade was very mild and didn't really taste like anything. The lobster tail was my favorite put of the three meats that I had. I don't know what kind of marinade they used for the lobster but whatever it was had a nice tangy flavor and really enhanced the natural sweet flavor of the lobster meat. I could easily have just eaten four tails and I would have been satisfied with that as my meal. For dessert I went with the strawberry mochi. It was nice and sweet but not overly sugary. While I wouldn't consider this a regular everyday kind of place because of the price I do think it would be a great choice for a date night or special occasion. I loved my experience here and I can't wait to go back!

Honestly can’t complain about a single thing 😍 • ⭐ Top-tier service & food • ⚡ Super fast seating even without a reservation • 👩‍🍳 Server was friendly and dishes came out lightning quick 🍣 Sashimi? Ultra fresh — not frozen at all. 🥩 Steaks? Tender, juicy, melt-in-your-mouth quality. 🍜 Beef ramen? So flavorful and comforting. 🍨 Vanilla mochi ice cream? Chef’s kiss. 😘 Everything was 10/10 — definitely coming back! 🙌

We had such a great experience at Gyuzo! The food was absolutely delicious, everything we tried was high quality. The all-you-can-eat menu had a lot of tasty options! On top of that, the service was excellent. Our server, Nate, was so attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. It really made the whole experience even better!

We had our happy hour there last Thursday. It's my favorite place to go for happy hour because the food is amazing and the drinks are always divine! We had a beautiful amazing server her name is Anna. She was so lovely and was very helpful and she made sure to check up on us outside in the patio since the inside bar was closed due to filming some content for their restaurant. I had a good time, they werent too flexible though on the table since the bar was closed they can only sit you outside at the moment and there were a lot of mosquitoes. They did not allow sitting inside for happy hour,only for regular dining. We had a lot of the happy hour food. My favorite was the tuna tartare and spicy miso mussels. A favorite of mine.

I've only had happy hours at Gyuzo and today was the first time I went for lunch. Justin provided exceptional service: couldn't ask for a better server. Ordered their spicy miso seafood ramen and it was an utter disappointment. While the seafood was relatively fresh, texture of ramen noodle was not that of an authentic Japanese ramen and the broth seemed to be something they just put together aimlessly and tasted awful. Edamame (not pictured) and gyuzo dumplings were pretty delish. Should have known better not to order ramen at an AYCE BBQ place.

The Korean v. Japanese BBQ battle has found a formidable contender - Gyu-Kaku's meat game is top notch. And while Korean's banchan is unequaled--and unchallenged here--Gyu-Kaku's Japanese cocktails dominates. Great service and atmosphere.

This place is amazing! I am so glad that my son suggested it:) It was an hour drive for us but so well worth it! It's all you can eat based on which set you pick. It starts with Classic and you can work your way up. You have a choice of select meat and or seafood that you cook on the grill at your table. There's also a nice variety of sides and sushi options to pick from and you get 90 minutes to eat as much as you can take. Our server was very helpful with selection recommendations and a crash course on how to use the grill. It's low lit so make sure to turn on your flash to take pictures. It's perfect for a date night and it is highly recommended.....I will definitely be returning!

This restaurant is amazing! The food is fantastic from the meats to the sushi rolls. My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years and it's always a great experience. The cocktails are also fantastic and the best in the area. Also, service is so spot on! Frank was so quick to refill our drinks, food orders and on clean up. Customer service is all around fantastic. The ambience is also romantic and hip. We will be back!

We picked this place to celebrate friend's birthday. All of us instantly fell in love with this restaurant. The ambiance was warm and staff were super welcoming. Our server was incredibly attentive and made sure we had a safe and enjoyable grilling experience. It's rare to find a place where every dish hits the mark, but everything we tried was truly delicious and exceeded our expectations. Definitely a must try place.

the inside of the restaurant is gorgeous and there's a lot of seating for larger parties too! we came later in the evening on the weekend and were able to be seated immediately. service was also really quick, our server Ari was very attentive and friendly! we tried the $55 classic ayce option and enjoyed a lot of the apps (salmon ceviche, tuna tartare, dynamite shrimp) and they were all delicious. the sushi variety for this option is more limited but the quality was good~ my only note is that the nigiri had a lot of rice. I enjoyed a lot of the meat options, and I think the three sauces provided complement the meats very well, but there were some cuts that were a bit chewier than others. overall, I had a great experience and the quality here is definitely better than a lot of other restaurants in the Rockville area!

You can order from a menu or select an AYCE option. If you select one of the more expensive AYCE options you can also select from the less expensive AYCE menus. Kids less than 2 years old and below are free. Otherwise they are half price the AYCE option you select. There are parking garages near the restaurant which are free for 2 hours. It was $2 if you park for 2-3 hours. We had to pay $2 since the AYCE experience plus walking was a little over 2 hours. We selected the $98 AYCE for a special experience. You're provided with 3 types of dipping sauces. While some items like the Uni meets Wagyu and oyster tsunami was one spoon and one oyster limit per person, it was delicious. The Wagyu from the Uni meets Wagyu was so soft and the Uni here was so fresh and creamy. The flaming scallops was a fun to watch the flames and eat once the flames go away. It was pretty salty with an alcoholic taste. The scallops for grilling were soft and delicious. The Uni and the fish roe on the carbonara udon were good but the udon itself and the sauce didn't have much flavor. I didn't enjoy the short rib taco as much as I thought the meat was a little dry other than it being crunchy, but my partner enjoyed it. A lot of items were very salty on the menu. This includes the fish (sea bass and branzino), but they were very soft. They come with a slice of lemon which you can squeeze on some juice if you like. The lobster for the grill was pre-marinated and cut into bite sized for convenience. Miso butter scallops were soft and delicious that you want to just enjoy the leftover soup with rice or noodles. The dynamite shrimp was also spicy and salty. The lobster tempura was flavorful and salty enough that I didn't need to dip it into the dipping sauce which accompanied it, but dipping does enhance the flavor a little. The conch had a nice chew. We didn't like the American Wagyu short rib cube since it was too hard for us to bite. But all the other wagyu and slices of beef provided were delicious. The lamb and duck breast were also soft and delicious. For dessert we selected the tiramisu cake, mango mousse cake, and strawberry ice cream Mochi. Both cakes were still a little frozen from storage. All were good, and I enjoyed the mango mousse cake the most, but nothing made them stand out. We went for lunch on a weekday as soon as the restaurant opened so it wasn't as busy. We appreciated our waiting coming at the right times for us to order the next round so we can continuously be eating. You can only order 9 items at a time and last round was around when we had about 30 minutes left in the 90 minutes AYCE time limit. Due to the limit I was pretty sad I didn't get to eat a larger selection from the menu, but overall good experience.

I came here with my friend and my wife for my wife's 35th birthday for something special. We chose the Premium Set for AYCE which had the best selection and value for us. It does get busy so it is ideal to make a reservation in advance. The ambiance is quite nice and you cook your own food. Our waiter was amazing. The food was out of this world and loved all the Wagyu beef types we cooked and the Far East Rainbow Roll. We also got a special birthday dessert and it was one of those magic candles that took both me and her to blow out. We look forward to returning for another special dinner.

I wish I had taken photos, but honestly, I was too busy enjoying the night. We came to Gyuzo to celebrate my birthday, and it ended up being one of those meals you remember, not just for the food, but because the experience felt taken care of. A big part of that was thanks to Ethan, our server. Managing a large group isn't easy, but he handled it with patience and ease, making sure everyone had what they needed and never let the energy dip. There were a couple of hiccups throughout the night, nothing major, but still the kind of stuff that could've thrown things off. Instead, Ethan smoothed it all over without making it our problem, and it genuinely felt like he cared about making the night right. We went with the premium AYCE. A few wagyu options are limited, but they were worth it. I'm still thinking about the 30-day aged cut. The variety here is honestly impressive for the price, and if you're the type who likes trying a bit of everything, you'll probably wish you had a second stomach. I'll be back soon to try the signature AYCE. This place is solid. The low lighting, dark accents with lighter wood contrasts really lean into the Japan aesthetic. Great for a date night, group outing or a treat yourself kind of night!

Free 2 hour parking available in the nearby parking lot. I've been here a number of times before but this time they had an all you can eat menu which was great value and options across meats, appetizers, and sushi. Our server Kristy was great as well. Despite being super busy, she got all of our needs.

This place is really a hit! The quality of the meat, the flavor. The dipping sauces and other menu are so good! I love that they have a guide on how long to cook the different kinds of meat, which makes it easier. I also love the cocktails and appetizers that they have. Just make sure you make reservations ahead since they can get very packed. The ambiance is nice and staff is very welcoming!

Came in excited to enjoy AYCE Wagyu, but walked away disappointed -- especially for a meal that cost over $200. We waited 20 minutes for the first batch of Wagyu, then another 30 minutes for the second. At one point, we were sitting at the table with nothing to eat while waiting for meat to arrive. Some of the Wagyu cuts were pre-marinated, which was unexpected. When you come for Wagyu, you expect it raw to enjoy its natural richness -- not masked with marinade. To make things worse, a few pieces were unusually chewy, not what you'd expect from premium beef. The Wagyu tartare was the biggest letdown -- no flavor, no seasoning, just raw meat and chopped onion. No egg yolk, no sauce, no truffle, nothing. We also ordered the truffle mushroom dish, which came an hour later after we reminded staff. When it did arrive, it tasted burnt, with no truffle flavor at all -- just dry and bitter. Drink refill (not for free) took 25 minutes and only after asking again. The only fast service was someone constantly clearing empty plates, which felt ironic considering how slow everything else was. Bottom line: For the price and the "Wagyu" branding, the quality, flavor, and service fell way short. Their free drink was Water and they do not serve lemonade. Would not return or recommend.

Wow, I was impressed! From the service to the food... amazing! Quiet Sunday late afternoon after Thanksgiving and we had a quiet space in the section by the backside of the host stand by the windows (NOTE: if you're tall, it won't be comfortable in the booths, but luckily there were some chairs and booth combos there). We went with the AYCE Premium Set for $68pp and most of our meat selections was from the premium meats - website said M-Th, but we were glad it was available as I loved trying everything. If we went with a cheaper set, it would've been a completely different experience. The wagyu was so good, we might even try the $98pp set next time with no limits! There's a 90 minute limit they enforce, so I would also recommend to put in all the 3 orders each pp each time they limit you to, and especially since the meats come in only a few thin strip. Our server Jane was so knowledgeable and on point with her recommendations! We were surprised to find out it was only her second week/day on the job - wow, she was amazing and added to the experience honestly! We mentioned we loved the flavors of the 30 day dry aged angus rib eye and she offered to ask the kitchen for a side of the salt sauce for the other orders and we used up every drop! Other favorites besides wagyu were the Premium Ribeye and Gyuzo Steak. Premium Short Rib Boneless was also good. A couple of unique options I enjoyed were the fried lotus roots with edamame purée and yaki mochi - Jane said it was a fun experience and it was, like roasting marshmallows! All of the appetizers we tried were also good, only suggestion for the sides would be to cut the portions so we could try more! We got the Yaki Udon and it was a regular sized entree portion! Would be ok if there were more in the party to share, but it was just 2 of us. We would have loved to just get 2 bites of everything each like tapas style! I also love sushi but was afraid it would be a whole roll and no room for wagyu. Normally AYCE bbq places would try to fill you up with cheaper food, but serving full sized portions worked against us wanting to order any more. Overall, definitely recommended and will go back!

We celebrated our wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday here, and our server, Amanda absolutely treated us like royalty! She did fabulously with warmly greeting us, helping us navigate the menu, rapidly bringing us our drinks and meats! We never had to wait for our meal! The meats were plentiful, extremely tasty, and perfectly seasoned. Amanda ensured that our cocktails and draft beers were always ready! We chose the Ozeki option and that was more than enough for 4 people. We were way to stuff for deserts, but maybe next time.

The food here is seriously drool-worthy. They have all-you-can-eat options, as well as portioned tastings for groups. I went for several special occasions. For my birthday, my family got one of the tasting menus (around $200 or so for 6 people) and it was amazing. Meats, sides, appetizers, and everything was delicious. Probably my favorite Asian BBQ in the area, although it can be a bit on the pricey side.

We tried out Gyuzo Japanese BBQ, and it was a solid experience. They seemed a little short-staffed, but our server totally made up for it with great service, so it didn't bother us much. We went with the B menu, which felt like a good middle ground. You get some wagyu, but honestly, the wagyu wasn't even the best meat of the night. The brisket, though? Absolute fire. The sides were all amazing and honestly what really makes this place stand out. Plus, the ambiance was spectacular, it really gave me that feeling of being back in Japan, which made the whole experience even better. That said, it's pretty pricey if you're not doing AYCE, so while I'll definitely be back, it'll only be for the AYCE option. Oh yeah and don't skip the mochi!

This place is amazing! Usually when we go to a place that's opened up a while ago- the wow factor decreases. However, the customer service we received today was awesome!! I think our servers name was Kelly and she was so knowledgeable about all of the meats we ordered and was accommodating to our vegetarian friend as well. *A5 Wagyu prime rib !!! Holy moly- we were recommended the middle Grade which is that cut since we were on a budget and it did not disappoint. This meat is buttery and let me tell you- it's the kind of thing you bring the in laws to. Try it with the truffle salt it's amazing!! *we also tried the top blade- recommended by our server because she said it's the perfect cut if you and affordable and delicious! So good. *dynamite shrimp- creamy, spicy and balanced with perfectly cooked shrimp *tuna tartare- fresh tuna with spicy mayo, avocado and the perfect crispy shell *garlic cucumber- perfect fresh appy for vegetarians *ponzu truffle mushroom- the perfect mouth watering thing and it just sizzles with juice the whole time it's cooking- an umami dream!! *mushroom teppan rice is also a great hearty option for vegetarians as well. We enjoyed a variety or sushi and side dishes our server recommended. As a DMV foodie I'm proud to say this place is in the heart of Rockville- as it should. Be sure to come here to see Kelly and everyone else who was stopping by our table to make sure we were taken care of!! We will be coming back for our special occasions.

The ambience and service here are outstanding--truly top notch. It offers a Korean BBQ-style experience with even better quality meats. Generous portions and a vibrant atmosphere make it a fantastic place to relax and hang out with friends and family

This is a very trendy place and the meat was very good. The rolls were just a tad on the smaller side for the price and the overall value was a little bit mismatched, only in my opinion. It is strongly advisable to make reservations. Service was great - they really hustled to help the group out and we appreciate that so much. I think it would help to come with the expectation that you will be dropping some money at this place and the portions are smaller. It is a good place to check out if you've never been. Especially I think the diff between Korean and Japanese B.B.Q. places is that you don't have to gorge yourself with the ayce of kbbq as Gyuzo had many options here, but for the price you almost wish you just went to ayce kbbq. Also I do like the meat quality better at gyuzo than most kbbq places... which tend to also be sweeter.

This is one of the best Japanese BBQ spots I've ever been to. The service is friendly, the atmosphere is lively and enjoyable, and the food is fantastic, with delicious wagyu beef, short ribs, and a wide selection of high-quality meats. They also offer tasty appetizers like dynamite shrimp and sushi, as well as unique cultural desserts. We tried a variety of items from the menu, and the portions were generous. You have 90 minutes to enjoy your meal, and they'll give a last call toward the end. My only drawback is that the meat took a bit of time to come out, so it would be great if the service was a little quicker in bringing it to the table, especially if you're on a tight schedule.

I've been here twice and will definitely be coming back for more and bringing friends! The food here is absolutely delicious! I am a huge Gyu-Kaku fan but, this is next level with the Wagyu meat options as well as the sushi options in the AYCE. The sushi is also soooo good! I loved their nigiris, most especially. Service was good. Our server (bartender) was able to get our order fairly frequently and be able to tend to our table fairly well. Love the ambiance in this place. Very chill, comfortable, and overall just a great place to bring friends!

Nice setting typical of the newer Asian steakhouses. We got the Yokozuna menu for 6 people which was plenty of food and considerably less money than the AYCE option (for us anyway, I suppose it depends on how much you can eat). It was very good but there wasn't anything that was spectacular.

Fun and delicious. Raw cuts of meat are brought to your table and everyone grills their portions over a gas burner in the center of the table. Four of us shared the Ozeki. It was a generous quantity of food for us. The different cuts of beef were quite different. Everything was delicious. The room is attractive and the service is attentive.

Great Japanese BBQ! Went here with some friends and did the all you can eat option which allowed us to order many different meats, veggies, and fish to cook on the grills as well as sushi and appetizers/sides. Everything was very tasty! For anyone who hasn't done Korean or Japanese BBQ before, it's also very easy to cook as all the meat is cut very thin. We also ordered drinks--the menu was creative and drinks were delicious! We ended with some mango and matcha mochi ice cream. Service is great--if you do the all you can eat, they ask you to pick 9 options from the menu each time you order and it arrives very quickly. A very filling and very tasty meal!

We have had great food and service at Gyuzo before. This review is for their Happy Hour! First of all, it runs from Sunday-Thursday, from 2pm-7pm. I've never seen such a long Happy Hour although I'm not complaining here. But what makes this so great is that the food we typically get, was 1/2 price, so that was really nice. Please note that this HH menu is only available at the bar or at the patio and it doesn't include grilled meats. We ate outside, it was warm but not scorching hot, and we had shade. We had a few orders of the garlic cucumber, pork dumplings, dynamite shrimp, kaarage, and we tried the short rib tacos. I don't like seaweed, which was the "taco shell", but I just scraped it off onto my plate and ate the rice, beef, sauce and scallions together, no biggie there. Everything we ordered was delicious, including the drinks. I had a passionfruit drink, hubby ordered a Sapporo beer. Note: some of the apps are slightly smaller than the regular versions (like instead of 8 pieces, you might get 5), but still an awesome deal! Service was great as usual. Will definitely be back again!

It was a busy Sunday night for Father's Day and it seemed their system had double booked their reservations for the evening. We had a reservation and had a bit of a wait after the time. We were seated and our waiter, Frank, was incredibly attentive, helpful, and friendly making the experience all the more better. The food was delicious, meat was high quality, and came out in a good amount of time despite how crowded the restaurant was today. I would definitely return for the delicious food, great drinks, and amazing service! I loved how you can tell all the staff were busy but they were all helping out.

We had the Ayce Premium set, $68 per person. The quality of the meat was great, especially the Wagyu short-rib boneless and the Wagyu Chuck Roll. The appetizers were also amazing. The ramen was just ok, pretty soggy to my liking. The server, Justin, was nice, however, I believe he could've been more present. We understand that the restaurant was busy, however, given that we only had 90 minutes, having to ring the bell multiple times before he would come was just a little much.

Gyuzo has such a great vibe at the bar, service has always been top notch especially when Ali and Kelly are working. They always give the best recommendations for food choices and mix drinks. My friends and I enjoy their happy hours (very reasonable pricing) and very attentive service. Must try their dynamite shrimps and beef Teppan rice.

Came here a few times and every time has been great, from food to service. I love that they are all you can eat versus before, where everyone can choose 3 different options each round. The feel is also upscale so I love taking people from out of town here so we can choose different things! Tonight in particular we had great service from Kristy, she was so sweet accommodating to our toddler with us and getting in last call items since we came close to closing. Loved having her as our waitress! We would definitely come back.

We just had a wonderful family SaturDate night dinner at Gyuzo. We were seated as soon as we arrived with our bubbly 20months old & ordered our cocktails right away. Brandon was our server and he was super patient and attentive all through the night. We ordered from the $68 AYCE menu & indulged THE FULLEST. Every meat option we amazing. Our faves were the Waygu (all), premium ribeye, pork belly, dynamite shrimp & the miso butter mussels. Our baby enjoyed all meats as well. Thank you for an amazing Saturday night out!

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 My favorite appetizers were the miso buttered mussels. We ordered twice and asked for the recipe. The dynamite shrimp was really good. There's nothing on the menu I didn't like. Bravo!
