We had fun here! The food was amazing! Corn cheese and kimchi soup were awesome and free with meat orders. The pork belly and thin ribeye were so good! We loved that our server cooked for us and just it was a fun experience . I can't wait to go back!

The flavor of the meat in this restaurant is so delicious! We enjoyed the cheese corn and the angry egg which comes free with your order as well as all the wonderful Kim chi, radish, mashed potatoes, salad, onions, and dipping sauces made from soy sauces and sesame seeds. It is a small place, but the meats are fresh and tender. We had the bulgogi, galbi, and pork ribs and they were all delicious. Our favorite meat is the marinated rib tips. It has the best flavor when grilled. This restaurant is the best Korean barbecue in Northern Virginia. We like it better than all the other Korean BBQ places because the marinade is excellent and the place is smaller than most places , but service is good. They prefer to grill everything for you. We will definitely come back and refer others. They do not take reservations. You need to come get on the waitlist and wait...most of the time it's over an hour long. They will call you when your table is close to being ready.

Its not an AYCE but we ordered a set good for two. Servings were good enough for us. The meat was so good, great quality! The service was awesome! Staff cooked all the meat for us and she was really attentive and fast too. I want to go back asap if i’m in the area. Make sure to have reservations coz you’d have to wait around 20-30min at dinner time (like us w/o reservations) to get seated. The place can get packed but for a reason! oh and also the corn cheese add-on is a must!

This is one of the many Korean BBQ places that can be found in the Northern Virginia area and one that stands a little higher than the rest. The price is about what you would pay anywhere, but the quality of the meats and the banchan put it a little higher than the rest. Our most recent visit caught our server on a bad night, but it was still a great meal and we will continue to come here with out of town friends.
