We originally came here for the all-you-can-eat but were told it no longer exists? Not sure! Either way, we got their meat combo (pork belly, bulgogi, chicken, etc) which was enough food for two, along with some tasty banchan! Lots of indoor seating with built in grills at each table. Service can be a bit slow, but overall very friendly. read more

Be-One Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

The food was delicious. The outside does not look good at all. Our friends thought they were at the wrong place and waited outside for us. We were inside but they were hesitant. That is how much it did not look good. So we were rushed. The server was overwhelmed and did her best. We had to pack up our meals and leave for a movie. We intend to come back when we might have more time. read more

It is no longer all you can eat. I feel it is not worth it anymore. The service was good.

Came in for all-you-can-eat kbbq on a wednesday evening, during our 1.5 hours there, only one customer came in while we were dining. To start, the meal was $32.99 per person, after ordering a side of rice and tip - each person ended up paying about $50. The small sides came out first, it was a variety of things like kimchi. They also have you order a starter/larger side with the ayce meal, we were very confused when ordering however. Each person ordered something different, but some of the stuff was brought out for sharing and some for each individual person, would have been nice to know before ordering. The meats then began to come out, they were delicious, they just put a cookie pan on top of the table grill which I hadn't seen before, but it worked. Also although we were the only ones in the restaurant, there was a long wait time before each meat came out. This place had pretty good food, but the service and atmosphere were lacking read more

We have been searching for a great Korean restaurant since Nam Kang closed, and we had a great dinner at Be-One. The food was great, service was fast and friendly, we will definitely be back. My wife got the bibimbap which came out super hot and had the delicious crispy rice on the inside of the hot bowl. I had the jeyuk bokkeum which had great complex flavor, not just heat. The kimchi pancake and pan fried dumplings were also great. read more

Travelers be aware-bad neighborhood, we saw three druggies by the restaurants. Food wasn't great. I bet there are better Korean restaurants out there. The noodles are tasteless, and side dishes aren't fresh. Maybe bbq is better. Table was sticky, bring food one dos h out of time. I wouldn't recommend it. read more

Had to grab something quick to eat and walked in, very friendly and helpful I ordered some of the tastiest fried dumplings I never had, unfortunately I'm from out of state so I won't be able to go back for awhile read more

Yes the Food here iz amazing....I recommended and recommend everyone to come here to eat....Great customer service and very fast and friendly....Stop pass for there amazing Korean BBQ !!!! read more

Between you and me, I have a crush on one of the ajummas here - she doesn't know it but it's one of the reasons why I keep coming back. But onto what truly matters in a KBBQ establishment - the meat. Heaven all mighty how I could deceive you all by saying the meat was on a whole 'nother level, but honestly it isn't the best meat I've laid tongue on. Don't get me wrong, the meat isn't bad, but it definitely isn't the gold standard. Where this place truly shines is in its warm atmosphere of food and cheer. This is where you come to hang out with friends over good food and drinks. The servers here add to the boisterous atmosphere along with the blaring non-stop K-pop. Though I have enjoyed many occasions here with friends, it really isn't anything special compared to other Maryland KBBQ locations in Ellicott city and Rockville. However, it is the only place in Maryland that does KBBQ, a necessary pillar of Asian cuisine that needs to be represented. I believe the only thing holding this place back is the quality of meat. If it were higher and shown more attention, this place would be unstoppable. Alas, it still has a place in my heart. Would recommend and will be visiting again. read more

TLDR: One of the best AUCE KBBQ spots in Baltimore/Baltimore County. Great selection of meats and side dishes with speedy service. Vibe: 3/5. Located in a strip mall in Station North, there is plenty of free spot parking making it easy to navigate to. The area can be a little suspect at night, but fortunately the parking lot is well lit with normally alot of foot traffic. The inside of Beone is that of your typical KBBQ restaurant. Several 4 top tables w/ burners and ventilation fans overhead. KPOP music videos play on loop throughout the entire restaurant as well as said artists adorning the walls of the restaurant in Soju advertisements. The restaurant can get stuffy with all the burners running, so dress accordingly! Service: 5/5. Service did a great job in tending to our burner and keeping the meat flowing. As KBBQ connoisseurs know, a server who is proficient in grill management is critical to a good KBBQ experience, especially when it's endless. We always had well cooked meat on our plates and was quick to change grill pans when needed. Food: 5/5. Every cut of meat we had was delicious and well prepared. Beone gives it's AUCE diners over a dozen meat choices to rotate through as well as a half dozen Korean side dishes such as tteokbokki and fried sweet sour pork. Highlights include the paper thin brisket and the pork belly. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had. I lived in Seoul for a couple months. The mrs's did too. We both agreed. The same if not better quality, right here in, in the love of Baltimore. Service was to die for as well ;) read more

Me and my fiancé go here so many times throughout the week it's become a problem we loveee the atmosphere and the women that was serving us was so nice and friendly. The food is amazing and taste so crisp and fresh, I love the kimbap and dumplings I've been binging them heavy. The pork belly is nice and tasty and the sauces are to die for, absolutely rate this 100 stars read more

It just isn't good. Definitely not worth $33. Firstly, though the server was nice, we were the only people in the establishment and the service went at snail pace. Then, they put foil on the grill so you're not able to get enough contact with the actual grill. Next, everything was just bland, which is completely ironic for Korean cuisine. For $33(m-Thursday price) you can go to so many other places in the DMV and actually enjoy your meal. It's a hole in the wall surrounded by vagrants. Begging when you enter and exit. I'd avoid. I especially regret this place as it was my niece's first KBBQ experience and it was near terrible. Typing this in the sketchy parking lot wishing I'd followed my first instinct and left when we saw the outside. read more

There are several Korean restaurants located within a few miles of each other off Maryland ave. I have to say this is probably the better of the three. They offer an AYCE BBQ option which is what I love most! I recommend the pork belly, brisket and spicy pork. If you're normally a fan of rib eye (jumuluk) which I am, I wouldn't recommend getting it here. It is marinaded like other places but they serve it in a round cut so it tends to be tough and not tender like it should be. They do also offer additional sides in addition to the bbq items. Definitely get the rice cake and steamed egg. The service is quite nice too! The owners always there and very friendly and attentive. Don't be too scared of the location, but do stay mindful of your belongings out in plain sight in your car. They do have a great big parking lot so you don't have to worry about parking or walking far. read more

A hidden gem in a city strip mall. The inside tells its own story. A nice change from the corporate chain restaurant. Had the all you can eat BBQ. Such a good meal. The selection of protein was a bit limited but it was all well seasoned and fresh. The two sauces offered were very good, would still like a third for variety. That's just me being picky. The server was Jae(?). She was awesome. Very helpful and so nice. Made a good meal even better. read more

In typical Vog fashion we headed across town in the Mt. Vernon area for some KBBQ. Originally based on chance and choice of stranger's hand we were supposed to go elsewhere- but made the executive decision to head here. Vog took care of ordering - however, I added steamed dumplings. Felt like I needed to be a part of it. Ordered beef bbq for the table which comes with sides etc as is the norm - and with using chopsticks it can get dicey. The woman who took care of our table was very nice and made small talk as she cooked for us- also giving us a free egg jaunp and some soup - as well as a couple of kimchi pancakes which were good however I wished the kimchi was more chopped up inside the item. Bulgogi and spicy beef was very good - and in terms of the pork back bacon I would have liked it a little more crispy. Overall it was very good - can't say the scenery was great or the surrounding area was nice but the food was good and I enjoyed it. read more

Be-One Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This was my first time ordering from here and will definitely come again. If you're in a crunch for time, order ahead for pickup. The midday lunch rush wait can definitely burn away your lunchtime. The lunchbox is kind of a little bit of everything. I enjoyed everything (except the fish cakes but that is absolutely personal preference). The tteokbokki had way more veg than I was used to but it was pleasantly spicy. Besides the lunchboxes, the servings are generous. Everything was delicious and I look forward to trying other items on the menu. read more

Be-One Korean BBQ - Bulgogi Lunch Box - Korean Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

This little gem has my heart. I come here often with my friends and S/O. Everything great you could ask for of a mom and pop type all you can eat meal(and regular dishes). 30 bucks for the best all you can eat Korean BBQ you can get anywhere. Only a couple people working including the awesome owner, she busts her ass everyday in this place and it sure is good. She always remembers me and gives me the same free appetizer I always like (but can't spell or pronounce correctly loI) would recommend this place to everyone itching for some good and filling food with traditional side dishes and accompaniments. Truly a great experience for all friends and family or just yourself. This place isn't a bougie modern done up place. It feels more like home. Don't be alarmed by the outdated ways of preparation. Here you won't regret the food or the price. read more

The food was amazing, and the service was wonderful. I definitely will be recommending to my friends and coming back again.

YUM! I will start off by saying that I haven't been to many Korean restaurants so my knowledge on the food is limited. We asked a friend that has been to this location multiple times for suggestions. She recommended us to order the calamari and spicy tofu soup. I ordered the beef and octopus. The calamari was soo good! I highly recommend it! The entrees came with a bunch of little plates which were all interesting. I really liked the potato salad and the mayo/veggie salad, those were really tasty. If you have 2 or more people eating barbecue then they turn on the heating stove, but since I was the only one who ordered barbecue they cooked it for me and brought it out The area was a bit random, but there's a parking lot which is good. The location is in a small strip mall so it makes it easier to find! read more

The food was amazing! Service was a little slow but the nice guy took our order and made really good hot tea! The food was so good! The beef brisket was good, their chop chae was amazing, the soon du bu was delicious! The fried dumplings were good and their kim chee was excellent! The cold noodle soup was different, as I was expecting the noodle to be more grey in color. They were white and chewy consistency was so yummy! Tater like buckwheat noodles but didn't look like it. I would drive back here to eat again! read more

We ordered two all-you-can-eats, which by their price, is a great deal. The food was excellent. The service was very attentive. Order the egg thing. read more

Went in to dine. The place needs an upgrade but the food is still very good. The server we had was so sweet and quick even though he had many tables. He seems like he cares for the restaurant more than a job and it makes me want to come again. read more

We stopped in here last weekend after a long day at the aquarium. We did the bottomless BBQ, and it was a steal! The bulgogi and spicy pork belly were our favorite items. Our waitress was good, not great. The ambiance was cute, K Pop and fun. They have a very limited drinks menu! The plain pork belly was lame. Really just thick cut bacon. We also had the Tin pork belly. It was better than plain, but still rather simple. The spicy pork belly was some of the best I've had anywhere though! read more

3.5 out of 5 - This place is in a pretty questionable area - honestly not my first pick for korean restaurants in the Baltimore area but the food is decent. The soups / jjigaes here are pretty watered down and not as savory as I would like. The space is very outdated and it's almost always empty every time I come here. The banchan (side dishes) were pretty generic and didn't taste very fresh to me. I heard that they have all you can eat korean BBQ which I would want to try one day. I just don't think the food was very memorable for me and as a korean food veteran, it was nothing to write home about and not worth the trek to this questionable neighborhood. The atmosphere was dead, the service was good (but that may have been because I talked to the servers in korean), but most importantly, the food was just okay at a similar price point of more delicious and worthwhile korean food options that are right across the street. read more

So this is a tricky review lol The location is not the best in the city and the restaurant could use some upgrades especially because the food is out on top of aluminum foil which the food kept getting stuck on. Moving on to the food. It was great probably some of the best seasoned and tasting Korean bbq I've had. Even the chicken was great. The spicy Bulgogi I wouldn't recommend but that might just be my taste. read more

Jay was amazing. I've never cooked my own BBQ and she was super helpful. Food was great! Would stop here again no question

This is one of my fav place to get korean food in Baltimore. One of the best features is full of side dishes, there are around 10 different dishes on the table for you and some of them you won't be able to find at different restaurant and they are free to refill. I love eating side dishes while waiting for foods, they are very nice to snack while chatting with friends. The food portions are very reasonable and very korean. I got soongdubu and the soup is very thick and tasty. We also ordered one dishes of grill meats but since we only get 1, it was cooked in the kitchen. But it came out super fresh and we all love it. Grill meats taste so much better with all the side dishes that they got. I would definitely come back in the future to try other soup and noodles. The menu is very numerous with soup; noddles and meats with reasonable prices. read more

I used to go here with my coworkers all the time pre-COVID but haven't been back in a while. When I finally went back, I was super disappointed. I was told the restaurant was under new management and the menu items has changed a bit. When I tried to order, I found out that half the items on the menu was unavailable. The lady even said there's not much options for a Korean person. Huh? I thought I came to a "Korean" restaurant?! She recommended the dumpling soup so I decided to get that and my husband got the bulgogi lunchbox since all other items we wanted wasn't available. The taste of dumpling soup was decent but not very authentic. There was total of six dumplings in the soup with some sliced bell peppers and onions. As for the bulgogi lunchbox; I'm not really sure what type of meat was used because the texture was really weird, bit rubbery and tasteless. And one fried dumpling that came with it had frozen center. Only thing that was good was the fried chicken. The server was nice to us but I honestly don't think I'll be coming back to this place again. read more

Well, we had a medium sized group set to eat at Be-One, but as we sat we realized that we didn't recognize any of the staff and the menu had changed. Police were interviewing one of the staff (which isn't the restaurant's fault) about a recent theft, and we studied the new menu to see what we could order. Gone was Kalbi, and Saeng Kalbi - so we asked whether the ownership had changed. The answer, of course, was yes. The pan-chan came out, which were 3 dishes for our party of 7 - 3 small, sad, lonely, desiccated, pale, pan-chan, none of which were kimchi (One was a non-steaming lump of rice with black sesame). We inquired whether there would be more, and the response was that that was all they had prepared. That was enough for us. Perhaps the new ownership will re-calibrate and re-optimize, but this is not a that I can recognize anymore. read more

One of my favorite places in Baltimore. Have been able to visit a few times now that pandemic restrictions have been lifted, once for Korean bbq and once for Jajangmyeon. I love their new all you can eat bbq option that runs Friday-Sunday. Good and varied meat options! While the banchan was a little lacking there were some amazing free sides like the steamed egg and some fried chicken that came as part of the all you can eat package. When I went for Jajangmyeon there was a mistake where they put in rice instead of noodles but they were incredibly quick about fixing the issue. It does seem like maybe there is new management/service staff post pandemic but it continues to be a restaurant I can't wait to go back to. If you've never been, definitely give it a try read more

I am a little late in writing a review for this establishment as I have been busy the last few weeks. Came in for the AYCE option with my friend and his son. We also ordered a mandu-guk that the owner added tteok to for us and an order of mandu on the side. The customer service was wonderful. The food was amazing as well. The AYCE came with alot of amazing side-dishes that you get on top of the ban chan. Everything was delicious and the prices can't be beat. I will definitely be back for more. read more

Service: Slow and inattentive despite only one other table in the restaurant. I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but eventually had to flag someone down after 25 minutes. Food: Decent. Limited side dishes. read more
