In the past we used to order a lot of drinks and food but we stopped because it took too long to get our orders and of course the drinks are super overpriced. We came back last weekend and we only ordered waters and a few bubble teas and it took over an hour before we got our drinks. The karaoke machines are super glitchy. For instance, you have to wait a few precious seconds before the system registers. You can scan a sketchy QR code to see the song queue but honestly, I don't trust it. I only go here if my friends suggest it but there are much better options out there. The clear copyright infringement and misspelling in the software program is interesting....

For Korean bbq, this place is good for the price. $27 for the basic AYCE feels very fair. I'd…read moredefinitely put it ahead of places like kpot if you're talking just Korean bbq. Now vs the places they have in northern VA, that's a different story. Service was good when I went as the waitress also constantly checked on our food and helped cook it throughout the meal.

Not trying to be rude...but I have been here twice and it has smelled like piss each time. It…read moresmelled like pee in the private room that we were in, and in the hallway leading up to the bathroom, and on the dance floor (we went pretty late, so not sure if it just happened to be a coincidence and someone pissed on the floor both times we went ) The staff is really nice and friendly, but again, I can't get over the smell. Maybe there's something wrong with their sewage system? The room was also pretty messy, and unfortunately, if you're playing songs from YouTube, their Internet is really slow. When we asked staff about this they said that because we're using YouTube it takes a toll on their system but the stuff that they already have pre-downloaded and ready to go is not music familiar to us. Kinda sucked because they charge you based on time, I'd say we spent a good 20 minutes just waiting for the songs to load.

Staff is friendly and it's got this really cool interior that has tons of lights and decor that are fun to watch. There's a big karaoke place in the back and barbecue on one side of the restaurant. Since last time I was there they've even had a small to go tea place by the front door.

I would not recommend the beef and enoki soup. It's a yellowish soup and tasted sour? Maybe it's a spice that I'm not familiar with but both my friend and I didn't like it. The service was great and our waitress brought out a dish of house dumplings because we didn't like the beef and enoki soup. Atmosphere is interesting because it's connected to a karaoke bar. But the place seemed neat and it wasn't loud.

There was a huge stuffed moose hanging on the wall, so you can certainly see why this room got its name. They had television system playing with videos of the loved one.

But, if you are looking for a gigantic room with all of the electronics and clean bathrooms, then, Moose Lodge is the place for you.

We were the children of delusion--a tepid, spendthrift parent, but loving and persuasive…read morenonetheless, like Mother building forts and spaceships from old newspapers and dog hair-coated blankets. We loved her. We believed her. We would defend from the parapets. We would fly to the moon. But like all children, we grew up. Mother became imperfect, flawed, human. The newspapers were yellowed. The blankets reeked. We moved on. The Spire beckoned so like demons to a damsel we flocked. "Here," it said, "here you'll find it. Amidst the stones and sycophants, a darling little life dwells. Come, children, come." And we preyed upon the chance. We hacked through vines with machetes that read "Masters of Public Policy." The blade was dull, but we all had them. Surely El Dorado was around the very next corner. We'd spend nights in the jungle. Sometimes we called Mother. She'd mention the forts, the spaceships, and, for a time, we grew homesick. But we did turn that corner. There was no darling life. There was no El Dorado. What we saw was a microphone sprouting from the earth. We were suspicious. "Should we kill it?" one of the others asked. "Perhaps," whispered another, "But I'd rather we stab it with our steely knives--" "--but you just can't kill the beast." a third person finished. Sure. It was a bard's tale we were all familiar with. But why did it come into our heads now? At this moment? The machetes fell from our hands. We gathered around the microphone and a Great Song flowed forth. Then another. We bellowed tales and words that were not our own, donned costumes like so many players, formed alliances of respect and good humor. And while The Spire was in the distance, where it remains to this day, we found solace in the act. And sometimes, dear reader, when the group looks my way and I am handed the microphone, I think of the forts Mother and I would build, and of the spaceships we flew, and I no longer see the words on the newspapers. I no longer see the seams on the blanket. I become the singer of songs. The words are my own. These clothes are my skin. And I own a moment that The Spire cannot steal away. Also, it's really fun.

I think this was the first time (and hopefully not the last time) visiting a Tex-Mex AND…read moreSalvadorian restaurant. While folks at my table went with Tex-Mex options, I decided to go with a Salvadorian option. In particular, I went with the Sopa de Marisocos, which was served with fish, a whole crab, mussels, shrimps, clams, and eggs. I thought the 20 dollar price tag as pretty fair considering how much seafood was in the bowl of soup. Although I thought the soup should have come with rice, I did not realize that the soup was served with tortillas. I guess the tortillas were the rice substitute. Overall, I thought the soup was very delicious and seasoned very well. I'm glad that I followed the waitress' advice and went with the addition of cream to the soup because it elevated the soup's flavor. Besides the soup, I had my fair share of margaritas. I thought the margaritas were mixed well because they were not too sweet or acidic for me. Also, the restaurant has happy hour most days until 6 pm (or was it 7 pm?). I have to say that I must visit again, because there are a lot of things on the menu that I would like to try during my next visitS. Overall, I thought the service was impeccable. Our bartender, who later became our waitress, was very helpful in making recommendations and suggestions regarding the menu. Also, she was very patient because it took us a while to finally order food - although we did order plenty of margaritas while deciding on what to eat. The restaurant is a decent size with both indoor and outdoor seating. From the way the tables are arranged, El Gavilan looks like it is very accommodating for medium sized groups. The restaurant does have parking; however, the parking lot is a bit tight.

I have been on a horrible luck streak, and feel bad leaving bad reviews. But, dinner from El…read moreGavilan was nearly inedible. I ordered plantains and a chimichanga. The plantains were reduced to a thick paste, overcooked to the consistency of baby food and lacking in any flavour. The chimichanga was not browned at all. It looked like a burrito, but the tortilla was simply dry. Not fried. Dried. Inside, there was little but shredded chicken -- dry and bland. It was served with white rice (?!?!) And a dollop of sour cream -- no salsa, no gauc, nothing. Tex Mex for people who don't like spices, flavour, or taste.

We were ready to go to iRock to do karaoke but after reading reviews about a bad english selection,…read morewe decided to give Kay One a try since it was also in the area - without hearing much about it. Warning: this place is hard to find. there is no sign but its located beside the dance studio in that shopping/office complex. Interior: ghetto-ly decorated with christmas tinsel and lights. carpet looks dirty. so dirty. the hall has this random black carpet lining that is all torn up. Music: no books like cafe muse but a separate screen/remote. i like this, you can search by artist/song, etc. but the english selection was poor. I mean, they didn't even have Bon Jovi's Living on a Prayer. no Taylor Swift LOVE STORY. No Kelly Clarkson Breakaway!!!!! and NO RAP. No 50 cent In da Club. Drinks: NO ALCOHOL.....we had green tea. $10 for a pitcher. Huge profit margin for them. Rates/Pricing: very inexpensive. the more you sing, the more discount you get. we had 9 people. $30/hr. we sang 3 hrs 45 minutes. our total was $110. bc we sang over 3 hrs we got 30% off. supposedly you have to be a "member" to get a discount but just act sad or tell them you'll join and they'll give it to you. From M-W they have all you can sing for $10/pp. Cheap but I think I'm going to check out iRock next time I'm in Maryland. or better yet, just go to Cafe Muse bc they have a better english song selection.
