    Fried Oysters @Bulgogi Korean BBQ
    Precious J.

    I've eaten here a couple times and have had great experiences. No, the inside is not esthetically pleasing but the food is delicious. The service is timely and the staff is friendly. Korean food is one of my favorites and in Stafford, authentic food in this category is nonexistent so it's good to have Bulgogi Korean BBQ a few miles away from my home. Most recent visit I tried the Bulgogi fried rice which came with a hefty price tag of $18 and Bulgogi rolls reigning in at $13. Now, I have no issue paying for food as long as the taste fits the bill and yes it did however, they did skimp on the bulgogi, mostly rice. Also, the thinly sliced beef reminded me of "steak-ums" from back in the day. The restaurant is tucked away in a small plaza behind an auto repair shop and should definitely be a place to stop!

    I was with a co-worker who's from out-of-town and he wanted Korean, so I Googled and found this place. I do recall reading great reviews about them in the past, but never tried it until this visit. The guy working there was helpful. The dining room needs help, but we were there for the food. We each got the bibimbap, which is something I've never tried before. It was fresh and very tasty. The cucumbers that came with it were amazing and fresh! The ingredients in te bibimbap were excellent! Their gochujang is very tasty and has a nice spice to it. We also got their dumplings, as they said they make them fresh there and they were really tasty! The sauce that came with them was great too! Definitely enjoyed this visit and would return!

    Portions of beef pho no go

    Great customer service and presentation. Disappointed No flavor at all 18$ and the broth was weak the portion was balanced but absolutely no flavor. I did begin to dig in before snapping a pic. Unfortunately I didn't even eat it what a waste, maybe try something else besides the beef pho is a no go.

    We decided to try this place based off of previous reviews. We almost turned away because the restaurant was looking so rundown there were sheets covering their booth seats. As we were about to leave a woman said that we were going to love the food, so we stayed. for appetizers we chose Korean fried chicken wings fried squid legs and gyoza all of which though they looked delicious was bland. For our entrees my mom chose chicken Yakisoba and I had the Bulgogi. To be honest the bulgogi was the best thing I had. It saved the meal. I did order Bulgogi fried rice to try it the next day the reheat did not fair well. So if you choose Bulgogi the best and safest choice is their name sake dish!

    My friends never had gimbap (rice roll) so decided to find a place that served them. I came across this gem place, saw the reviews and decided to bring everyone here. This is a family restaurant and let me say the food was authentic, fresh and delicious. For someone from NYC who had access to high quality Korean food, I was impressed by the food we were served today. The staff were all attentive and helpful. They always check in to see how we were doing. The decor is simple and not very decorative. Don't let that stop you from eating here, everything is well prepared. From the banchan (small dishes) to the beef rice rolls to seafood pancake, everything was done well. There were other dishes we know we need to go back to try. I highly recommend this place. I love the food and the people, but more importantly supporting small businesses like this!

    Beef bulgogi, rice (with soy sauce I added), and seaweed salad, bean sprouts, and marinated cucumbers.

    I'm so glad that we have places like this in Stafford. In a sea of chain restaurants, it's great to have an independent establishment that offers great food. There are plenty of things on the menu but I can't get past the beef Bulgogi. It's so good. The portion is plentiful, so plentiful that I always take home leftovers. The Bulgogi is cooked with cabbage, carrots, broccoli, and onion, and is accompanied by rice and endless sides of whatever the chef has prepared: there is always kimchi and marinated, slightly spicy cucumbers, and usually bean sprouts, marinated radish, and one or two other items. We forego the kimchi as we don't care for it and always ask for extra cucumbers. The service can be a little bit slow due to one person waiting on tables and taking care of phone-in and takeout orders, but the food makes up for that.

    Came here with a super big group a couple Fridays ago and were taken care of! I could tell our server was overwhelmed by our large group, especially since most people were ordering dishes individually. As someone who always wants to try everything, I made sure to order a whole bunch of dishes to share: budae jigae, bulgogi, galbi, and spicy pork. Every dish tasted amazing! Most of my friends had never tried Korean food before and they loved the budae jigae the most. Honestly I loved everything - how spicy the pork was, the budae jigae broth, and the banchan. Highly recommend if you're ever in the area!

    Door with posted hours which are obviously incorrect.

    Supposed to be open on Saturday by 11 but still closed at 1130 and not answering phone. No voicemail capability. Social media is outdated by several months. It is unclear if business is active or abandoned. Nearby patrons of other businesses also did not know. Very disappointed.

    5 Piece Dumpling

    Little hidden gem! Very friendly employees! The service was great and quick! The food was fresh and tasted amazing! Highly recommended starting with the fried dumplings! They were fresh and had an amazing flavor! It was very clear that they had fresh oil to fry in. The bulgogi over rice was fantastic! Served hot and fresh with kimchi on the side. I would definitely dine here again!

    This place was amazing! This has to be one of my favorite korean dishes. Definitely recommend!

    Brisket was delicious Pulled pork was spot on…read moreService was very quick, guys working the counter were on their game! Inside is a little cramped for dining in, but the quality of the meat is worth it!

    Oh, my, law. Run, don't walk, here on the weekends. Why? Because they only do their beef ribs on…read moreSat/Sun and IT IS SO WORTH IT. Also, the owner is amazing. He was delightful to talk to about the menu and honestly gave such a great vibe to the eatery. Before today is say we haven't been all that impressed with BBQ options on the east coast. There's one other place that was alright but Wild Waylon's BBQ knocks it out of the park. And if I'm being frank, Wild Waylon's is better than some BBQ joints I've been to in Texas. We will have to make the trek out here again, and this time with friends, to enjoy one of the best restaurants in VA. What we got: Jalapeno pepper poppers - 5* what a delicious side! Until today is yet to meet a restaurant that made a better jalapeno popper than myself. Wild Waylon's has officially won the unofficial competition. I will be putting rubs on my bacon henceforth and hopefully will be able to reclaim my honor. Do yourself a solid and order this side. Beef rib - 5* my partner missed my face when I took my first bite and that's probably a good thing. This was the highlight of the meats Wild Waylon has to offer. If I remember correctly it's smoked for 24 hrs and boy does it shine! The meat literally fell off the bone when I picked it up for my first bite but that didn't stop me from diving in with my fingers. This one does not need any sauces, it's flavour is strong and good. Baby back ribs - 3.5* honestly, probably closer to 4 but when compared to the beef rib no other rib can compare! What I loved about this one was the crispy-ness on the underside of the rib and dipping this one in the various homemade sauces that are available in store. Pork Belly - 3.5* we tried a slice but saved the rest for leftovers. It was good and even better dipped in a sauce. I really liked the texture and am looking forward to eating the leftovers. Much like the ribs I think I am having a hard time judging this one without comparing it to the beef rib. Brisket - 3.5* we tried a slice but saved the rest for leftovers. It was decent and kind of melted in the mouth. There's probably a little room for improvement with this particular dish but it's also a good one to let the sauces shine. Baked beans - 5* woooah, these are fantastic beans! Coleslaw - 3* decent coleslaw. It wasn't anything amazing but we appreciated having it as a palate cleanser between meats and spicy sauces. Pickled jalapenos and onions - 3.5* this is spicy and delicious!

We spoke to clerk who suggested the family sampler $49.99 It came with 3 meats - we chose Pork, Chicken and Brisket, hush puppies, 3 sides - we chose Mac n cheese, greens, French fries Here is where our review comes: keep in mind we are foodies and I'm from Smithfield NC Brisket- 2/10 very thin, it gets cold immediately, you can taste the smoke but need the sauce to eat it. It didn't hold favor. Bbq sauce is very watery. Not sure why. Pork- 1/10 we did not like it at all. It was different. Ground. Vinegar overpowers everything. I almost feel it could've been better but we just couldn't eat it. Chicken- 6/10 as a family we ate it. Would picture it in a taco being great. Again vinegar overpowers. Mac and Cheese- 3/10 too milky not enough cheese.... And a true sample. Maybe 2oz. For the price it wasn't worth it. Greens- 8/10 again too much vinegar but I'm a country girl we eat the greens Hush puppies 10/10 French fries 10/10 So all in all we would not stop here again. However the staff was friendly, the decor was cute and if it works for you, go for it! Honestly I'm disappointed that we didn't like it as much as we wanted to. But I promised to always be honest in my reviews. It's a pass if you are a foodie.
