    Spicy top blade steak inside dishes
    Serena B.

    After sharing my concerns with the owner following my last visit, I decided to give Chadol another chance and I'm so glad I did. This experience was a complete 180. Our waiter, Jose, was incredibly attentive and genuinely welcoming. He took the time to talk with us about the quality of the meat and the owners' commitment to creating an authentic Korean BBQ experience, which truly made the visit feel special. The meats and side dishes we ordered came out incredibly fast. Overall everything was awesome from the ambiance to the food, to the service! I definitely would go back again for sure. Side note, be sure to park in the specific garage parking to the restaurant in order to receive the free 120 minute parking.

    What a great experience. I love Korean BBQ so this was right up my alley. We ordered all you could eat which consisted of chicken, beef, steak, and fish. Also, sides such as potato's salad, salad, corn and kimchi. I ordered a smokey mezcal which was delicious. The food was so flavorful and it was easy to cook. Our waitress was very friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. She was very attentive and made sure that we did not want for anything. The service was impeccable. The ambiance was nice. Very aesthetically pleasing. I love 100% recommend this restaurant and I will be back soon.

    We ordered rice and ramen along with a mix of meats, and everything was delicious! The steak was well-seasoned, the jowl was moist, and the bulgogi had great flavor. You could tell the shrimp was fresh not frozen and the curry pork belly was definitely the star of the show. The place itself was super cute, and I loved that the food came out on little conveyor belts it made the whole experience fun and unique. Our waitress, Violet, was so sweet and attentive, checking in just the right amount without hovering. Our favorite KBBQ spot recently closed, but this might be our new replacement. Great food, great service, cute atmosphere, and well-priced. Highly recommend!

    This place is a gem! I finally was able to try this place with my friend who raves about it and I can honestly see why. The meats were so good and flavorful. The servers were very tentative and made it easy to cook and offered to cut up the meat for us. I thought the restaurant was nicely decorated. It was in Harry Potter themed -- I'm sure because Halloween is upon us.

    We came here on a random week night and were surprised by the turnout. The restaurant is a lot bigger than it looks outside and provides a mellow vibe. Coming in, we were just expecting a regular KBBQ experience but were pleasantly surprised. First off, the restaurant runs on a conveyer belt system. You order your meats on a tablet and within a relatively short amount of time, the food comes out. We tried several of the cuts of meats but loved the spicy bulgogi and brisket the most. They also offer chicken options which are cooked in the kitchen and brought to you. The ramen was a 10/10, even if it's premade. Chadol is probably the best KBBQ spot in the DC area and looking forward to coming back.

    I've been craving Korean barbecue so when my friend was here to visit, finding a new spot to try was top of our to-do list. We were super impressed by the air filter system and conveyor belt both of which made for a great dining experience - no grill smoke to contend with and the meat came out fast! Unfortunately, (except for the plain meat) we weren't a fan of any of the flavors here. The Bulgogi was incredibly sweet so we didn't order it again, and the corn and potato salad banchan were also weirdly sweet. We didn't like any of the 3 sauces they offered for dipping either - they didn't have the traditional options like sesame oil but instead had this neon pink watery mayo? It was weird. The plain cuts of meat (brisket, jowl, top steak, etc) were great as was the kimchi but overall it's too limited to justify $42/person.

    Brisket

    Clean restaurant with great ventilation. It doesn't smell at all! Don't fill up on the cheap Shin ramen and rice! The quality of meat is mid. I recommend only getting the brisket and steak. The radish and corn was also yummy. The pork belly was not good. It's very affordable at $52 a person for all you can eat. The drinks were very good!

    Cooking with my Dinner Date!

    The Big Spoon missed the Yelp event hosted at Chadol so I had to run it back with him, our rule, if we haven't been together we haven't been at all. Free parking - so don't pay! Upon entrance you'll register your parking at the kiosk. - This is a perk! We came on a Thursday evening and although the place was half full and plenty of tables were open, we were told there would be a 20-30 minute wait due to not having enough servers. This seems to be a common occurrence here. We like to enjoy the bar before our meal so no issue there. We grabbed a drink and waited. The wait time didn't seem long before we were seated. Ambiance is causal, dim lighting but not fine dining. This is more of a causal dinner experience. Ladies, you can be cute but leave your dresses at home. I learned that you can cook your own food or ask your waiter to cook for you. Conveyer belt is a cool concept! Drink prices are high, but the meal price is great! Let's Get Into It! An all you can eat menu? Oh yeah I'm in! Ramen - MY Fave! Garlic Shrimp - Delicious Butter Shrimp - Good but Garlic was better. Brisket - Good Bulgogi - YUMMY Seasoned Top Blade Steak - My Favorite Cucumber Watermelon Spritzer - Good but had to add some grenadine to make it taste better. Everything was great! Would definitely come again. ******Would definitely be a 4 star for me once they get their staffing in order. ******

    No issues getting table. The staff is friendly and the food is tasty. Not too many KBBQ places have shrimp that's not an up charge, so for the great price point, you can eat your heart out. Foods we enjoyed; garlic shrimp, spicy shrimp, seasoned pork, ramen and chicken. The dumplings were way too crispy for our liking and the sides were kimchi, white rice, potato salad, pickled radish, salad, corn salad. Just like most AYCE restaurants, you can't take the food home and don't order in access or they'll charge you. They do offer drinks that can be either a cocktail or mocktail too.

It's a basement bar with a bit of a dive vibe, but it's hard to ignore the nautical, blue crab theme throughout.

They have a happy hour and they have a great variety of drinks in general. It's bring-your-own-food (BYOF) and there are a bunch of delicious looking Asian spots nearby, including upstairs. It didn't start getting crowded until closer to 10, which, as I said, is surprising for this part of town to me. Everywhere in Chinatown is not going to be packed and busy, and this place is here to remind you of that. Stop by if you're looking for a more chill vibe. Staff are pretty cool.

I believe there is also a limited food menu (think nachos) for the after work or late night crowd.
