    A spur of the moment decision to stop for dinner as we passed this restaurant which was across the large Wayne Ave. Garage where we had parked. The delicious smells hit directly into our faces as the front door was opened. This looks like a popular neighborhood establishment. We were greeted and seated immediately on a Wed. evening. The setting is a bit dark with neon lights and table booths with their BBQ grills arranged around the restaurant. It did feel a bit tight for my legs due to the way the BBQ grill was set into the table. Service was great. The person attending to us helped explain the menu, how to order and decide on which proteins to be brought out. He would occasionally pop over and help grill our meats when we became too busy talking instead of cooking our meals. We ordered the All You Can Eat Option A and you are given 1 1/2 hr. to eat, don't know how strict they would be with that. Unless you are truly hungry, I would order an à la carte dinner instead of the all you can eat option. I particularly enjoyed the thick cut pork belly, steamed egg and spicy tofu stew. There were a few small portions of Banchan to go with our meal and you would need to order additional side dishes of noodles or rice dishes separately from the all you can eat menu choices. There were tried and true hearty portions of meats to grill and it was quite filling. Nothing extraordinary but tasty and a nice place to visit on a regular basis if you want a satisfying Korean meal.

    Honestly, this is my new spot. We frequent Iron Age, but decided to give firepan a try this time. All the protein was really good quality. The steak was amazing. We did try one of the sushi rolls. I would skip on those the rice on. It was very mushy. Other than that, everything was really good. The side dishes were good and the service was exceptional.

    We love firepan. They always have great service and delicious food! Our go to is- steamed egg, rice, salad, firepan steak (literally almost like la galbi) my friend said bulgogi was her favorite, pork belly and sliced brisket. Its pretty busy in the area I would recommend reserving if you go in the middle of lunch or dinner time. We went early on sunday afternoon around 3 pm, people were still eating & busy! I also like the vibe in there. It was a bit cold but the heat from the grill was adjusting :)

    So glad they gave refills of the radish! Good refreshing banchan to combat the greasiness of the meat. The staff kept coming over to our table even though we chose to grill ourselves, so that wasn't ideal, but at least the staff is attentive and makes sure that their patrons don't burn down the restaurant (?). Good prime steak and brisket that wasn't too fatty. I wish they had more veggie options but this is KBBQ! They have good marinated bulgolgi from their option A too! Their ventilation is pretty good as well--my hair didn't end up smelling all Smokey! Came out very full and happy!

    Finally dined in and loved the quality of meat and serving size! Our waiter was friendly and offered to help with the cooking which I love as it takes the pressure off of the table paying attention and cooking. Really spacious with lots of space for walk ins on the Sunday we went! My only problem is while it was affordable for lunch ( around 35 per person for one of the all you can eat options) I really love Galbi and the combo that included galbi was quite the price jump. But def worth it despite that personal preference ! There's still so many great options - way more than a lot of places to pick from - and rice and sides are included.

    Great time at FirePan. The service was exceptional. I like that our server provided us with the option to cook on the grill. It allowed us to just enjoy the food without the worry of burning the food. The food was really good as well. My favorite were the short ribs. Delicious. I'll definitely be back.

    Solid KBBQ spot in the heart of Eden Center! Good service and quality meat, but a bit overpriced compared to some other options farther out--however, the location is in the perfect spot surrounded by other fantastic eateries and shops which makes it a go-to for us. A bit busy on certain evenings, so be prepared to be on a waiting list if you don't get a reservation.

    For the price in quality of the meat served at this Korean barbecue place I don't think you can beat the price! Not only do you get quality meat, but the quantity served as well is substantial to the point that you do not get hungry trying to flag your waiter down again for a second or third order set. For lunch on weekdays it is $23. All you can eat for the A package for dinner and weekends. The price is $30 per person. Will be returning here and also a great date spot to take someone if you like to enjoy privacy and have a full meal!!

    The ACYE option has more options than what most places I've been to have. With option C, the ribeye steak with butter was so worth the up charge! You get sushi, more "premium" meats and everything else in the other options Our server was really great and made sure to constantly come back to our table to make sure we had everything we needed. Excellent customer service and food was just great! Definitely recommend coming to the Eden center and coming here!

    The service was OK, my niece did end up with a plate of raw chicken on her lap, but that was totally an accident. The server just fell. The overall ambience of the restaurant is really small and there's not very many places to sit so it's kind of a longer wait if you wanna sit down and meet it's very nicely decorated and it's clean. The food is good. They have all kinds of options for steak chicken seafood. I would go there again, but I probably would not take my kids with me.

My server was quick to come over with water and bring me the drink that I ordered. She was very quick to come back as soon as I was finished eating the items I ordered. Food was speedy to come out and empty dishes were cleared quicky, too. In addition to being fast, my server was also very friendly and helpful. As for the food, I tried a variety, and pretty much everything I had was tasty and fresh. My favorite was the Salmon Love roll and the Scallop Nigiri. The Salmon Love roll had a sweet sauce and then a citrus one that wasnt overhwleming but gave it a really unique taste. The salmon was delicious. Similarly, the Scallop Nigiri tasted fresh/high quality. I also enjoyed the gyoza - they were crispy and very flavorful. If I came back, I probably would not get the chicken yakitori or xiaolongbao again, though neither were bad. The yakitori just didnt have much flavor, while the xiaolongbao had a pretty good flavor (and a good amount of meat inside) but not much broth (which is really what I want when I order these). While I tried a lot of different things, it didnt even scratch the surface of ths options you have for the AYCE menu. Hibachi, ramen, noodles, a ton of specialty and basic rolls, lots of different apps, etc are all included, so it is well worth the $32 price tag. I had an excellent experience here and will definitely come back if I am in the area again!

    Hong Kong Palace is honestly fantastic. I think a lot of the negative reviews are just wrong…read more I only got two dishes, but that was more than enough for ~$32. The prices are quite good and the portions are generous. I had a full second meal the next day without trying. I got the Yangzhou fried rice and it was very well executed. The meat inside was excellent, with what tasted like lap cheong or a similar Chinese sausage. The egg was fluffy, not burnt, nicely moist, and evenly distributed. Everything tasted fresh and balanced, with real depth of flavor. This is fried rice done properly. The other dish was listed as spicy fried chicken or something, though it was basically a la zi ji. It was excellent. I loved the peppers, and the spices were very aromatic. The frying was done well, clearly cooked in plenty of oil, so not exactly light food, but extremely satisfying. The chicken was crisp and flavorful, and the overall execution was strong. The food came out fast, the prices were low, and the quality was high, and service was good. This is an authentic Hong Kong-style place, not fancy or polished, but clearly focused on getting the food right. Five stars. I definitely want to come back.

They had some interesting vegetarian options, but oddly, the dumplings were my favorite thing that I ordered, having a fresh taste with dried tofu. My similarly dried tofu and celery entree was large in portion size if not overly dynamic in flavor, while another fried tofu dish was less sizable and came with broccoli I didn't want. Overall, I didn't get quite as much food for the money as I'd hoped. I wasn't mad that I went, but I think there are other places worth trying.

We ordered several appetizers and dishes, with the standout being their summer rolls! Very delicious and filling, served with a delicious peanut sauce that was so flavorful. Portions were very filling and price was fair, but there was a longer waiting time for our food to come out. They were pretty busy though on a Saturday night so I assume it'll be less of a wait on weekdays or other times on the weekend.

Having grown up with fine Vietnamese cuisine thanks to Bethesda's Green Papaya, my dining companion and I had felt over a decade of void (of exceptional Viet cuisine, in general) since its closing nearly 14.5 years ago. Recommended to us by one of our students who volunteers as a community organizer for Eden Center and other Vietnamese-owned small businesses, NUE with its incredible first impression has us beyond thrilled to have found a spiritual successor to our dear Green Papaya (albeit a bit more modern in style and even fancier). Since it was our first time visiting the Founder's Row mall, it took us a moment to get our bearings (the biggest parking entrance is on the southern side of the development but there are elevators that lead to the main area further northwest along Broad Street (including NUE, Ellie Bird, and Fish Taco) as well as the QR Code-based parking system. After scanning the QR code for parking, it was not too difficult to utilize it (NUE provides a code for 2 hours validated parking). Upon entering, we were greeted warmly by our server Joshua, who took great care of us throughout our celebration lunch and is very knowledgeable about the food as well as the restaurant group. Also, kudos Kyung at NUE's parent group (Happy Endings Hospitality) for acting super promptly (just over an hour later on a Saturday!) to an query I came across regarding their membership rewards. As for the restaurant's ambiance, it is decorated with a beautiful mural and the artistic direction reflective of Co-Owner Tuyet Nhi Le's heritage (her grandfather who was a famous painter). Upon sitting down and being served our requested hot water+lemons, we could notice the attention to little details (metal chopstick holder, bamboo lids atop our hot water glass, and later, the onyx-handled knife for the Fried Fluke). Speaking of the fish, our favorite celebration entree at Green Papaya was a Fried Flounder, and wouldn't you know it, one of NEV's "Iconic & Shareable" entrees is their Whole Fried Fluke with a bouquet of Fresh Herbs, Rice Noodle Rolls, and Pineapple Nước Chấm! This alone got us to slog through I-495 traffic across the river (congested even on a weekend for lunch!). In addition to the quality of ingredients (fish and herbs), Executive Chef Daniel Lê's thoughtful touches really stand out. For the fish, he debones the fluke's central bone while retaining its structure to make nearly the entire fish edible. As for the execution, the fish was prepared with optimal salinity, a delicate hand to let the innate flavors stand out, and superb texture (especially loved the crunchy dorsal fins, collar, and tail fin that were easy to eat completely). The abundance of fresh mint, Thai Basil, cilantro, and red leaf lettuce added a refreshing contrast together with the dynamic dipping sauce (slightly viscous to cling to the rice noodles and herbs), plump limes, and savory toppings (fried garlic-peanuts & fried scallion+oil). At $98, it represented a good value as the outstanding quality was matched by generous portion, satisfying both of our appetites (we purposefully ate very light yesterday) and left us with just enough room for dessert. To conclude our absolutely delectable meal were the Tropical Chè (~fruit parfait with coconut milk tapioca pudding, pineapple-mango-passion fruit sorbet, Thai Basil Seeds, mango, lychees) and the birthday treat of Fried Sweet Yuca with Salted Caramel Ice Cream and Waffle Feuilletine. The duo offered a lovely contrast of temperature (former being ~ fancy Halo Halo, latter being warm and comforting ~more substantial Mochi Donut-meets-steak cut fries), textures (tender, crunchy, QQ, and crisp) and flavors (floral, fruity, neutral-savory, salty)! To top it off, they included a Birthday Card featuring their signature artwork and a generous gift to welcome us back for our next visit! All in all, NUE is what we had been starving for the nearly past 15 years: a fine Viet restaurant that delivers fantastic food; warm, attentive, and welcoming service; classy ambiance for a special occasions, entertaining VIP guests, or just a fancy meal to treat yourself! With Joy by Seven Reasons having closed earlier this year, we had lost a dear favorite that starred fancy Fried Fish (Dorade) in a tropical culinary backdrop (Pan-Latin). NUE also fills that void. Now, if only NUE open a second location in the Bethesda-Rockville area like Joy!
