First time here and they didn't disappoint. Food and service was excellent. Server was kind and clear in explaining to us the process, from ordering our food and getting our food from conveyor. They were also kind enough to offer to clean our grill. Wil definitely come back again given the chance to visit DC again. read more

I was visiting DC from NYC when I stopped at Chadol. This was the best Korean BBQ I've ever had. The food was well seasoned, the meat came out fast and the staff was very helpful. read more

Great experience with a variety of meats to choose from. Service was on point. Definitely one of my favorite DC kbbqs now.

This restaurant does not respect your time, or your taste buds. This review is based on a visit dated February 12th, 2025. The dining experience at this 'restaurant' is nothing more than an opportunity to wait 45 minutes, for the privilege of paying sky-high prices to cook your own food. In their menu, they proudly display the quality of their meats, and after sampling a variety I can solidly say this is a delusion. I asked the server what the most popular item was, apparently it is their brisket. A classic choice, that ought to be reliable. It was a dry-grey mass of low-quality, gristle-infected meat. In-conjunction with the piles of meat, they provide cold rice and salad-bar style greens to fill out the plate. The greens are what you would expect from a salad bar at a cheap buffet. Recall, this is not a cheap dining experience. I do not object to the idea of cooking your own food, this is the standard model of Korean bbq, but in the case of this restaurant the grilles are clearly firing at a too-low temperature. I could not get a clear answer if this was policy (maybe they think customers are too incompetent to use a hot grill), or if it was a technical problem. This issue combines with the already low quality of their meat to make the final product profoundly unremarkable. The ambiance is nothing, a rush job. It looks like they glued some sticks to the windows, for some reason. They keep the place dark to prevent excessive scrutiny. I was amused by the playlist consisting of top-40 hits from 2008. To sum it all up, the exorbitant price, depressing greens, cold rice, and delivery of poor gristle-meat via conveyor belt, gives the impression of a callous operation serving slop to customers, the conveyor dumping it all into a trough for the exploited consumer to shovel into their gaping maw. read more

The best part about Chadol is the ordering system and the conveyor belt. They only offer the unlimited meat option which makes it simple. However, not all items are able to be ordered through the system, so it kind of defeats the purpose. There aren't that many meat options. They are also missing some critical side options. Spicy seafood tofu stew? What KBBQ doesn't have that? Also they offer a neon pink sauce made with gochujang; it's watered down with mayo and other stuff because "some people can't handle the spice" according to our server. Don't disrespect the gochujang at a KBBQ place. I think they highly underestimate their customers as well. I've never heard of someone getting KBBQ and complaining that a sauce is too spicy. read more

We love Chadol! Come here for the robot server, delicious food, and a fun time! The human servers are great too!

I loved the dim lights and the vibes of the restaurant. It was very nice inside and aesthetically pleasing as well. My favorite meats are always the brisket, seasoned top blade, and pork jowl!! The service was also amazing and very informational. Would recommend!! read more

The meat is very fresh, tender and juicy, very good! The side dishes are also very delicious, and the lettuce salad is very refreshing! The environment is also very good read more

I feel the side menu doesn't get enough love so I wanted to rave about it. I got the dumplings, spicy chicken nachos and kimchi fries and they were all so flavorful and completely satisfying. The chicken portion was fair and the side sauces made the dumplings even more delicious. I also very much enjoyed the ambiance itself - I felt I was in a New York- style vibe type of restaurant. I also noticed how the staff all worked together and I really appreciated that so I gave them extra tip for being hard workers. read more

We were visiting from virginia beach and wanted to have a nice last diner in dc. This place was everything we were looking for. Very clean modern style korean bbq. Our waiter Kyle was great. He advised great options and was very attentive. We especially enjoyed the spicy brisket. The waiters help you and pretty much do all the cooking but you order your meats on a tablet, which then come on this conveyor belt train. We also ordered the soju flight, which came with different flavors that we enjoyed. There was a good amount of bonchon sides and 3 sauces on the tables to dip your food in. If you enjoy korean bbq, definitely check this place out. We will be back!! Dont forget to park in the metro garage under the metrobar as the restaurant will validate parking for you for 2 hours at the hostess. read more

Good place for date night and small groups. The cocktails looked very good and the meat quality was really good. The validated parking was also a great perk. read more

I've been to the Rockville location and I have to say that DC stood up to the same standards. The meat quality is amazing like always and the service was unreal! Everyone was very friendly and I loved the conveyor system going to each of the tables, it was very entertaining and delivered the meat very fast after ordering. The restaurant has an amazing ambiance, the music low and the temperature at a very nice setting so I didn't have to wear a jacket because it was too cold or have to wear a shirt because it's too hot. I would 100% come here again over any KBBQ spot in the DMV. read more

The food was amazing and the restaurant is so nice and cozy. The service was great. There are several waiters that come. periodically asking what you need. I highly recommend this restaurant for a night on the town read more

Friendly and attentive staff, hands down the best kimchi around. Great meat options and bottomless sides that get brought out right away.

We had to come back!! It was that good!!! Food, services, location, oh and they validate for parking

Calvin was our server and provided us with a great experience and conversation. Meat quality is great as well. The ambiance was great and relaxed. Staff seemed to really enjoy their guests. We were only sad there was no Kimchi soup at this location. read more

Ash was amazing! Super attentive, friendly, and gave great service. Made our experience at Chadol even better. Will definitely be back, the food was very tasty. read more

Kelvin was a great waiter and went above and beyond to serve our table of 7! We really liked the Bulgogi.

Great food and great drinks! Best bulgogi I've had in a while and awesome atmosphere!

Extremely good food and fantastic service. Their opening deal lasts until July 7- all you can eat KBBQ for around $30 per person. Even after that deal ends, the standard price is $42pp- not a bad deal. The food itself was fantastic. We loved the spicy brisket and curry pork belly especially- and when we were (clearly) struggling to cut the seasoned top blade steak (also fantastic), our server stepped in with an expert hand. Highly recommend. read more

Food was delicious and service was great. I would absolutely return. Kelvin's service was great.

The food and service was great! Pretty authentic Korean bbq in DC. Kelvin was amazing! He continued to check in and got us everything we needed in literally a minute. Would definitely come back soon! read more
