Charcoal-grilled Korean BBQ with galbi, banchan & beer
"Located in Olney, Kim’s Restaurant serves dumplings, noodle dishes, and hot pots that draw crowds daily. But it's their deeply marinated Korean barbecue that’s the main attraction here. Cooking and eating it feels like you’re playing a tongs-and-teriyaki version of Operation (but without the fake electrocution). The large dining room gets loud thanks to the families, groups of friends, and the sizzling sounds of charcoal grills at each table. All of the high-quality meats are tender, from the spicy pork and short ribs to peppery chicken. Throw in some crunchy noodles or stir fries to round out the meal and find out which friend has some culinary skills." - candis mclean
"It’s hard to beat Kim’s in the Korean barbecue category. For diners new to the process, the friendly staff at this casual eatery is there to guide them through cooking the meat (or seafood) on tabletop grills, which use charcoal, not gas." - George Banks-Weston

"In Olney, the unassuming Kim’s Restaurant provides an exceptional Korean barbecue experience. Part of the magic lies in the restaurant’s use of charcoal for the in-table grill, a rarity now that many Korean barbecue spots have switched to gas burners. The allure of meat prepared over a live fire is undeniable, and the service staff makes sure every piece of lamb chop and kalbi beef is perfectly cooked. Bountiful servings of fresh banchan accompany the meal. Make a reservation for a big group, or walk in with a smaller crowd." - Ernest Owens
