This place is amazing. I have done work functions here as well as dining with friends. My wife and I love this place. Food is really good. So many of our friends and coworkers make this an often visited place.

Worst Korean bbq I ever had in DMV area. Please don’t waste 50 bucks on this kind of scam restaurant. The meats sucks in both quality and flavor. You can just go to hmart and have a much better meal.

The service here is wonderful!When the server brought over our meat selection, we were informed that their policy has changed, and they do not cook for the table. I explained to the staff that we were not comfortable in cooking for ourselves, and had I known that their policy had changed, we would not have came. The staff was so wonderful and accommodated our request. Thankfully it was Super Bowl Sunday and the restaurant was quite empty. The service was quick and everything was delicious. But have to cook on your own.It’s a bummer that their policy had changed and I likely won’t return here again. But will still recommend it to others who don’t mind the cooking part of the experience.

Special shout out to whomever was in charge of the music. It was nonstop Taylor Swift songs for the 2 hrs I was at dinner and I WAS LIVING ❤️ GREAT atmosphere and vibes.Food was okay, not as good as any of the Annandale restaurants, but for the prices, it was perfectly acceptable.My party had a bottle of Jinro, Squid StirFry, Spicy chicken, Kalbi, and Chadol.Spicy chicken was underwhelming and frankly more sweet than spicy. Squid stir fry was simple and basic. Beef dishes were best.✅ Would def take my friends here for a affordable and fun hang, but ❌would not bring work clients I want to impress.

Nice new KBBQ spot in Sterling within the Cascades Overlook shopping center.The Food: Food was delicious! The meats were definitely of quality. Portions came out generously. And flavors were on point. I went with "AYCE B" which includes "AYCE A". My top picks were the Kiwa Beef Steak and the Jumulok (Marinated Beef Rib), and the classic Chadol (Brisket). The meats were tender and the quality of the meats were fresh. They didn't have that much sides as other KBBQ spots, but it was enough for our table of two.The Service: Service was good. Was sat down almost immediately for lunch and the staff were very friendly. Water refills and check ups were constant as well. And, the staff knew how to cook each meat perfectly.The Atmosphere: This place is decorated nicely. Clean, modern and had plenty of seating. A cool thing about the tables is that they have the fans right above the grill, so your clothes won't small of KBBQ, well, maybe just a little.Overall, a 4/5. Food was delicious and service was great. Definitely recommend giving this spot a try. It's always nice seeing KBBQ venture out to the Sterling area.

Our family had dinner here for the first time. The food was good, service great and was a nice experience.We opted for the “all you can eat”. They bring the raw meat to your table and you cook it on a little grill area. You only have 90 minutes to cook your food, but you can keep ordering different meats throughout that timeframe if you get the all you can eat.The spicy chicken was our favorite. We also tried the pork belly, beef and pork.I rated it 5 stars due to the experience and the staff did everything right. My adult son and daughter seemed to really enjoy it. If you’re at a table, everyone has to order the same thing, either all you can eat or ala carte. I don’t eat very much, so all you can eat isn’t a good option for me, but ordered it so the table could get it. We choose the option that cost $34/person.Since meat is a large part of this experience, I would say it’s not the best for vegetarians.There were two specific handicap parking spots on the side of the restaurant and other parking on the side and in the front that also are wheelchair accessible with “ramps”.The women’s bathroom has a large stall for wheelchair access.I didn’t see an auto open button by the front doors.There are several different areas for dining. They have a bar right when you walk in.

A freezing, overpriced Sisyphean ordeal with the worst service I’ve had in a restaurant in years.All of us kept jackets on, and all of us were shivering the whole meal, as instead of their vent fans blowing inside air out, they apparently have them set to blow freezing 40 degree air from outside all over the table.The service was terrible, seemingly deliberately slow to try to time you out on getting any more meats. The banchan was miserly, a very limited selection not even including kimchi, and was never refilled.How bad was the service? Had to ask for rice which wasn’t brought out with the meat, had to ask for a rice refill, had to flag and all for the next course of meat, had to ask for more water, had to flag down the waiter twice because they left the meat tray smoking profusely - they were literally attending to nothing. The waiter was actively obstructing the meal the whole time, rather than facilitating it.How was the food, besides the miserly banchan? Average, definitely not worth fifty bucks a plate. And they brought out bulgolgi instead of the beef ribs we ordered - it’s not worth getting the more expensive B menu, bc they don’t even give you those meats! We were so disenchanted by then, and had so much trouble getting any service at all, we just gave up after 3 course’s and paid and left.Only go here if you hate yourself or the people you’re going with, it is a resoundingly negative experience across the board.

Went for my birthday with my family. I got A La Cart and they got all you can eat option B(no pics of theirs). The negatives: Cannot mix and match at same table and everyone at a table has to order the same thing so if you want to order something else food wise them have to sit at another table(their rules), was out of multiple alchoholic drinks(which may not be in their control but there were multiple I saw on the menu before going I wanted to try), no desserts whatsoever here (which most I've been to had desserts and did more for special occasions like birthdays). A 4th highest price meat of $27 brisket I decided to try and not worth the price in my opinion was too chewy. *Special note: they don't accept reservations here* Something I would give them 10/10 for is all three of their premium beefs are super high quality and cooked perfectly to your preference (worth paying for and highly recommend). *Note: I paid over $100 for myself and 2nd table with my family of 6 people ordered option B all you can eat and I believe only extras they tried were the squid and shrimp which they said they weren't too impressed with.
