Experience was absolutely amazing. Staff were great and hands down the conveyor belt delivering the proteins was an unexpected touch of class. One of the best KBBQ experiences I've had and the food was top tier. Drink selection is also carefully curated towards the menu which was *chefs kiss*. Great vibe, and all around top tier restaurant. Can't wait to return. read more

So this place doesn't have as much on their menu as other Korean barbecues I've been to, but for what they do have on the menu, the food is really good. The ambiance was really nice and I definitely loved the music that they were playing. It was like a mix between 90s and 2000s r&b, Hip hop, and top 100, it was great. I really like that.They validate your parking, since you do have to pay for parking. And the service was top notch. They were constantly coming over checking on us to see if we needed anything and they even helped prepare the food. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here. read more

Chadol Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Super overdue review, but my bf and I were visiting from California ate here a couple weeks ago and it was amazing! Compared to other AYCE bbq places we usually eat at in CA, we felt like the quality of the meats here were far superior. We were both saying how the pork belly was the best we've ever had at at an ayce place. The kimchi and side dishes were also really good and i could tell they were very fresh! What we enjoyed most was the service, our waiter Paul was so attentive and kind! He made sure we were always good and helped us the entire time. We also loved how efficient ordering on the tablet was, and the conveyor belt. If you go to bbq often you'll know that sometimes it takes forever having to flag down a server to get another order in. The ceramic grill was also so nice, the meat cooked wayyy better and we didn't have to get any grill changes at all because nothing gets stuck on it. Calvin the manager was also super great! read more

Came to Chadol BBQ with 5 people on a Friday night. They don't accept reservations but gave me an estimate of 20-30 minutes so my friends were able to go to metro bar. The wait was only like 10 minutes which was super nice. The decor of this place was cute and the host and our server were super friendly. The banchan we got was really good, we got some pickled vegetables, salad, potato salad, radish, and corn. The meat itself was decent. The pork belly was okay (pork belly we overcooked) but our table really enjoyed the bulgogi that we kept ordering it. I also liked the brisket. read more

Food was good coming on the conveyor belt but the service was bad our guy rarely showed up to clean the grill we were cleaning all the time came by once or twice during the visit The craziest thing was the bill 20% service fee for group of 6 or more For what, he didn't do anything to deserve that 50$ tip for cooking your own food and cleaning after yourself That is a ripoff read more

The sides were some of the least impressive when compared to other Korean Bbq. The staff was friendly. Although we had to ask the manager to sit where we wanted to. The conveyor belt ordering is very fast. They change the grill when cooking chicken for cross contamination. Tips 1) Park in the big parking lot near the Theatre, there is not much parking near the restaurant 2) The servers will help cook the meat so make sure to cook the food well or have the server do it. 3) you will need salt, the meat is not seasoned. read more

This was our first time here and there are some big Pros and Cons. Let's start with the food. So the pro is the meat servings are larger than many Korean barbecue places I've been to. For instance, instead of just little strips of steak, you actually get a thin cut steak. Additionally, the seasoned meats were seasoned excellently. If we were only rating the meats, it would be a 4.25 star. The major Con with the food is they have extremely limited options. Even the à la carte menu is extremely limited. If you've been to a Korean barbecue establishments that offers robust choices, vegetable options and sushi roll choices; you are going to be very disappointed. Due to this extremely limited menu, I doubt we would ever be back. And at $42.99 per person it's a bit pricey for what you get. As for the service, it was very good. We were seated almost immediately upon arrival, and our waiter was a gentleman name, Kevin. He was young, friendly, and very helpful. He kept our grill nice and fresh and changed it a couple times. The restaurant itself was clean. Maybe a little dim for my own personal taste. I very much enjoyed the trolley that deliver the meats to the table. You could order meat at your leisure from the kiosk and within a minute or two they would arrive. The wait that you usually incur at other Korean barbecues is eliminated by that trolley. If they would add additional options to the menu, I would've given this a higher rating. read more

It's nice to have more Korean bbq spots pop up IN the city. Chadol did NOT dissapoint! It's nice and moody inside. Great for a date night or dinner with friends. It's also across from Metro bar and beside the Alamo so you can do dinner and a movie. It wasn't busy when we went but I can definitely see this place being booked up! The service was perfect. You order from a screen at your table. I loved how the food came out on a conveyer belt kind of thing which was cool. You got to see what other tables were getting too! Our waiter was very attentive and kept checking on us to make sure we were okay. The food was FRESH. Definitely coming back here soon! Give it a try! read more

Came in during opening week and was impressed! They do offer parking validation. You should validate with your parking spot and license plate before entering. The restaurant is nice inside. There is a small waiting area and bar when you first walk in and then the tables that go further back than I realized. Our server was very hands on and told us he would help us cook the meat we ordered. He had suggestions on which were the best to try. They also had various items that you get an unlimited amount of. The kimchi was a hit at my table! Overall, we enjoyed our experience. There were some meats we preferred over others but everything was yummy and plan to go back soon to try more dishes. read more

The food was good, one really can eat as much as one wants, the portions are generous. read more

Chadol Korean BBQ - Shrimp, meat and side dishes next to the grill on the table. - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Came to Chadol on a Sunday around 4:30pm for dinner and had an okay experience overall. The restaurant was empty when we arrived so we were seated immediately and a server came over to explain how things work. They do all you can eat here which is great but it can be confusing what that includes. You order your meat from a tablet at your table but can only order sides and chicken with your server. This is super confusing as some of the items you're supposed to do through your server are still on the tablet. We ordered chicken from the tablet then waited 20 minutes and flagged our server when it didn't arrive and he informed us that we have to order chicken through him. They cook the chicken for you to avoid cross containmentation. Makes sense but it's super confusing and I would prefer to order everything through a server or everything through a tablet. There's also no function on the tablet to call over your server which is frustrating since they come by less often because you order everything on a tablet. Anyways, our table was the only table with no sauces and we didn't notice until the end so all the meat was nothing but bland bland bland. Even the pork belly was pretty flavorless (and we got the seasoned one!). The bulgogi was the best and was the only meat we had that was properly seasoned/marinated. All the sides were tasty but so small for two people and we never got more. According to other reviews these are also bottomless but that wasn't our experience. Very small basic things were amiss for me during my time. Only having one really tiny plate for endless meat and having to constantly ask for plates, the lack of toilet tissue in bathroom, the missing condiments on our table. The ambience was dark and cute but boring. The music was too soft to hear and there just wasn't much of a vibe. The drinks were good! I enjoyed what I had but thought it wasn't good enough to be $18. It should have been more in the $12-$15 quality wise to me. Not many N/A options. Our server was really friendly. They really need a button on the tablet to call over servers though if they're doing the conveyor belt thing to deliver meat. They are still new so maybe they'll work out some kinks. I wish they had some ala cart options because there's no way I'd do the endless meat ordeal again. They don't have boxes so you can't take home what you didn't eat. I understand not wanting people to order a ton of stuff just to take home since its bottomless but not letting people box up after paying is just a waste of food. Overall Chadol is fine. I spent $80 for endless meat I barely ate because it was so flavorless, one cocktail, and rice. Nothing was bad but nothing was really good either. Can't say it was worth it and probably wouldn't return but it was worth a try. read more

I've been to many Korean BBQ spots, and this is the best I've been to. I went with a friend, and we had the kale and kimchi soup. I've never had as good kimchi soup - the kimchi wasn't overpowering, and there was so much flavor in the soup separate from the kimchi. I'd go back just for that! The kale cut was fresh and high quality. Service was great. Surprisingly, the restaurant was pretty empty when we went, but I hear there are usually long lines. The spot is definitely cleaner and more peaceful than most KBBQ spots. Will come back again! read more

The food was delicious. Good quality of meat. Today we ordered brisket, the seasoned pork belly, seasoned top blade, garlic butter shrimp, and spicy pork belly. I thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered. Usually dinner is $42.72, but they currently have a deal going until July 7 with dinner pricing at $32.72. This location features a conveyor belt where your bbq orders, which you place via iPad, promptly arrived. Other menu items, such as appetizers and drinks, are placed through the server . Only AYCE, no combos offered. read more

This is a true dining experience where you order from a tablet mounted at the table and the meat arrives on a conveyor belt and you can have the server to cook it on the barbecue centered in the table or your can do it yourself. All the choices had great flavor and it makes for a great leisurely meal with friends read more

I went here with some pals and the quality of meat is very good. I'm glad them opened one in dc which is different from the rockville location but it still very good. They have offer great meat locations and sides. I do wish they have the soup included and lettuce wraps because that's the great korean bbq experience for the AYCE menu. Other than that great location and parking is validated. Service was excellent and the place was super spacious. We'll definitely be coming back again! read more

I took a break from going to restaurants and writing reviews because of Covid but Chadol brought me back! I came with my friends and we got the all you can eat. They got a lot of options: beef, pork, shrimp and chicken with ramen or white rice to pair with them. We got some beef (seasoned and unseasoned) and garlic shrimp and it was some perfect portions for the 3 of us. Easy to cook, easy to eat and we had a great time. Even got some strawberry and mango mochi ice cream. The service was great and the vibe was real cool. They had a great playlist. 10/10 fr I'd def come back. read more

Been here multiple times and here are some tips- Park in the garage only for validation. Or it's a short walk from red line metro. it is AYCE with only a few side dishes offered ala carte. Of these the corn cheese and steamed egg are two things I regularly get. What to order- we skip the chicken. No chicken. We get beef brisket, beef steak Pork belly is so good here. Curry pork belly also good Bulgogi is ok if you like that sweet flavor. Dipping sauces- ask for sesame oil. The salt is nice to dip unseasoned meat in as well. Get some lettuce for your wraps! Come with your eating pants!! read more

Best Ayce kbbq in the area!!! Pork jowl and nachos always fire!!!!! Masarap putangina

We had a great experience at Chadol. The restaurant is all you can eat KBBQ rather than offering à la carte. Their portions are huge -- 4 proteins, which we might normally order to start at another KBBQ restaurant -- was more than enough for our party of two. We were stuffed. This place is about $10-15 more per person for AYCE compared to similar restaurants in the area, but the service is great, the food is excellent, and you definitely get your money's worth. We will be back! read more

Chadol Korean BBQ - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I have visited here twice and enjoyed both visits. The meat is great quality - I especially enjoyed the pork jowl and soy top blade steak. They only offer AYCE, but it's a great value given the price. The service is mostly very attentive. I say "mostly" because it's only natural to lose a bit of the server's attention when the restaurant gets packed. Both times I went pretty early, before the dinner rush, and the service was super attentive the first hour or so because the restaurant was mostly empty. I also appreciate that the music isn't crazy loud or fast. It's a nice, chill ambiance and my friends and I would definitely come back. read more

We have been to Chandol three or four times since it opened. Service is great, the food can be easily ordered at your table from an electronic tablet and is delivered on a conveyor belt! It's a lot of fun. The drinks are good as well and most can be converted to mocktails. The watermelon cucumber really hit the spot in this heat! Our favorite meats are the spicy bulgogi, brisket and top blade steak. read more

I'm so excited that there's finally a quality KBBQ restaurant in DC! The ambience is trendy with modern interior and a full bar which is definitely a plus. Each cut of the meat was top quality and flavorful. My favorites were the Top Blade Steak, Pork Belly, and the one that surprised me the most- Pork Jowl. It was my first time trying Pork Jowl, and I loved its unique texture- it tasted similar to pork belly but more fun to chew? Beef Kimchi Fried Rice was so good and a nice upgrade from regular white rice and the Corn Cheese was so buttery and savory. The side dishes were also all delicious and we definitely had to ask for seconds. To top it all off, the cocktails were amazing! I loved the Cucumber Watermelon Spritzer- it was so refreshing and the perfect amount of sweetness. They also have very unique seasonal drinks that are fun to try! The service was exceptional as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. If you're in DC and looking for a great place to enjoy Korean BBQ, this spot is a must-visit! read more

I came in here recently after seeing the nearby Van Gogh interactive art exhibit. I got beef kimchi with rice ($8.18) and bek sae ju with ginseng ($17.27). The sales tax was $2.55 and the tip was $5.09. The decor was ultramodern Korean. The service was quick and friendly. I was by myself, so I ate at the bar. The beef kimchi had soy sauce, corn starch, sesame oil, sugar, canola oil, steak bites, drained cabbage kimchi, brine, garlic, ginger, bean sprouts, and green onions (https://mykitchenlittle.com/2019/09/17/korean-style-beef-with-kimchi/). The beef bites and sesame oil made the difference. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty. The bek sae ju was fermented from rice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baekse-ju); it had the color and consistency of sake but the flavor was of ginseng. No complaints. Keep up the excellent work. read more

Came here with my boyfriend for the grand opening and was blown away by the quality and the service! I'd already been to the Rockville location multiple times and was glad to see a lot of the menu items carried over! The vibes were amazing and perfect for a date night with the dim lighting and sectioned booths. Our server was Kelvin and we recognized him from the Rockville location! He treated us so well and took care of us for the whole night. He also made sure to answer all the questions we had about pricing, the food, and other accommodations! Pretty funny but we actually ran into him at a show at Echostage and he was just as nice as when we see him at the restaurant. Huge shoutout to him and we appreciate the Chadol team so so much! Hope to come back soon! read more
