Joshua provided great service making us feel very welcome and cooked the meat to perfection. The kimchi cheese pancake was great and the steak tartar was amazing! The meat melt in our mouths. Definitely coming here again. read more

This is a surprise find for me. Despite having tried many premium grills in NYC, Chicago and LA, Honest Grill definitely stands out. Some may say they are expensive for the NOVA kbbq peers, but given the quality of meat from high end distributors (yes multiple from pretty well-known farms), I would say it is pretty cheap. I dare to say they are pretty close to COTE in NYC at a significant discount. I come here almost every time I visit my parents and they never disappoint on service. The restaurant is clean and good air suction built into the grill. read more

Honest Grill is one of, if not my favorite, KBBQ experiences in nova. The temperature is much cooler and the air quality is much less smokey thanks to their in-table smoke vents. Our server, TK, was very attentive and cooked everything to perfection. The sides are also delicious and pretty sizable (the egg custard is huge). Def recommend the premium guide for that good good beef flavor! read more

MIA is the BEST ! The food was amazing and so were the vibes. Excellent service from start to finish

Great Korean BBQ spot! The food was amazing and our waitress, Mia, was the best- super friendly and sweet. She made the whole experience even better! read more

We got the Signature Experience with the NY Strip and it was absolutely worth it. The value and quality were superb; everything was cooked perfectly exactly as requested. Service was truly 10/10. Our server, Mia, was delightful and the perfect amount of attentive. We'll definitely be back! read more

Mar is such a wonderful server attentive, helpful, and so detail-oriented. She truly makes the dining experience enjoyable!

Pretty good kbbq place. The places I go to back in LA are better and much cheaper. It ended up being $270 for three people (and we didn't order anything crazy). However, the food was pretty good so I'd maybe just come here for a special occasion. We got the beef tartare, two pork & beef guides, and a ribeye cab. All tasted great. The waiters are the ones who grill for you, unlike other places I've been to which are self-grilling, so keep that in mind. read more

This is not your typical kbbq place at all! It's feels very fancy and elevated... There's even a complimentary coat check. Our server was very nice and attentive. He poured out the fancy (Himalayan?) salt and their AMAZING house-made sauce for us. He handled everything with diligence and care... We started with the Beef Tartare with Uni. It was delicious and very fresh! But very big portion so I recommend sharing between 3-4 people. Complimentary banchan included kimchi, shredded pink radish, pickled cucumbers, salad, and spicy green onions. We got the Signature Beef Combo for 2 on a Tuesday which is their special that day. It was $70 instead of $90 :-) It came with NY Strip Prime, Outside Skirt, Short Rib, and Marinated Rib Finger (all Certified Angus Beef) and a special side plus kimchi stew (you can choose soybean instead). We got the stir-fried King Oyster Mushroom as our complimentary special side, and that was so simple but so BOMB. Everything was sooo good, and you can tell their meat were made with quality!! read more

Food was delicious, portion for the pork and beef guide was perfect! Mar was a great server, really was attentive about the meat and cut off the slightest char. Will be back again! read more

We read the reviews and came in with high expectations. We called the pork & beef guide. The dining experience was rather long (45minutes). The grill did not seem like it was well heated and it took a while for even just the beef briskets to get cooked. The quality of the cuts were somewhat mediocre for me and nothing really stood out. The banchans leaned more towards the sour and salty side. The regular salad and the scallion salad were great. Now for the service, our server was very sweet. Unfortunately, half of marinated cuts were burnt when the server came back to check on them. Not sure if our server forgot or that the marinate was different this time around so it burned faster. As for the edible cuts, they were extremely salty! We couldn't eat them at all. The server suggested to replace the cuts but at that point we didn't want to eat anymore so we asked for a discount. We were given an employee discount of $10 on a bill of $105 which is not that much but it's fine. Our bill came to $95 after the discount and we wanted to pay with cash. They did not have $5 change for $100 bill! It's one inconvenience after another. I'm unsure how the reviews are so high. We have had our fair share of the KBBQ scene in the DMV and this was extremely disappointing considering the price point. Overall, here are my ratings: Service: 2/10 Food: 2/10 Ambience: 7/10 read more

Well trained staff and delious food. This restaurant is a part of thr Resy network as well

Absolutely delicious! Plenty of parking is available. B made reservations and so we were seated immediately. The host was friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is incredibly clean and organized. Restrooms in the back are also very clean. Our server was wonderful. He was kind, patient, attentive, and knowledgeable. Our meats were grilled to perfection. Flavors and consistency were on point. All the side dishes were also a hit. Each dish was seasoned well. Quality ingredients are used and you can taste the difference. Honest Grill pays attention to the details and that is greatly appreciated. We had a lovely dinning experience here and can't wait for our next visit! read more

This is my second time here, and the food has never failed me. The beef and overall food quality are top-notch. The service is fantastic; Mar was our waitress, and she was attentive, friendly, and efficient, always checking in at just the right time and making sure everything was good. Shout-out to her! The ambience is great, with nothing to complain about at all. Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I would definitely come again. read more

Food was very premium! You can definitely tell the difference! Conrad was an amazing host, definitely recommend!

Mee was awesome! Amazing service, great food and nice atmosphere! We come here quite a bit and we are always amazed with the quality of meat! read more

I've been coming to honest grill for many years and the service is always superb. Love the food and vibe.

The food here was delicious! There were many sides that were delectable. The ambiance was also a pretty chill vibe. The service was impeccable by Marr, Mia, and Ethan! read more

This fancy new kid on the block is a bit of fresh air to folks who have been wanting a slightly different vibe in the kbbq scene. Offering various aged meats as well as your traditional banchan, I think that the higher price is justifiable given the ambiance and service. Now, I wouldn't say that every kbbq place needs to be this fancy or can pull this off. But the decor here (a forest of wine bottles) and the right ambiance give it a comfortable vibe while not being too pretentious. I would say that the meat isn't the absolute best I've had, which is why it doesn't deserve a 5. But I would think it's a solid 4 for what it presents. read more

This is probably my favorite Korean BBQ place in terms of the quality of the beef. I've dined here twice and both times got the premium beef guide for two. It's priced at $149.99 but so worth it. You get Dry Aged Prime Ribeye, Ribeye Cap, Prime Short Rib and Marinated Beef Galbi as well as one soup and one side dish. They train their staff right as we requested medium rare on our Dry Aged Ribeye and it was cooked as requested. This is the steak to get here- this is the bomb. If ordering a la carte, it's $79.99. I didn't even use their sauce or ssamjang, just dipped the beef in the pink Himalayan salt - it really enhances the flavor of the beef. The rest of the meats was great, just hard to compare with the Dry aged ribeye. The ribeye cap, premium short ribs and Galbi was very tender and almost melt in your mouth. Their doenjang jjigae was one of the best ones I've had at a Korean restaurant which was included in the beef premium guide. I wish they had more Banchan selection like regular kimchi, some spinach and potato salad. If you dine during lunch, they have good lunch specials for $19.99 and the all their beef/pork guides are 10% off. I highly recommend this place. Make reservations through Resy. read more

Honest Grill was a pleasant experience! We came here for an early dinner, and we were seated right away - I highly recommend in making reservations on Resy, just in case, as this place can get busy. The menu is pretty straightforward - they offer various appetizers, signature combos of meats, a la carte items, rice bowls, stews, and sides. We ordered: +AN a la carte order of the Prime Short Rib - if you're looking for ggot sahl, this place seems to be the closest to the best of what you can get in the NoVA area - the meat was melt-in-your-mouth tender and juicy! +a la carte orders of the Marinated Beef Galbi - the marinade was more on the sweeter end; we were extremely surprised at the generous amount of the galbi - it seems that the meat is cut thicker here; it really was a lot of meat! +Stir-Fried Garlic Brussel Sprouts - the hubs really enjoyed this dish; I liked the whole roasted garlic cloves; great to dip in the ssamjang Make sure you ask for raw slices of garlic and ssamjang with your meal, as these do not come automatically with; lettuce is also available, too. We were seated in a nice booth, which was comfortable. The restaurant itself gives off a classy, sophisticated type of a KBBQ dining ambience, which would be great for get-togethers and date nights. Service was attentive and great! I really liked the attention to the detail in which the cooked meat plate was swapped out because it was getting a little 'liquid-y/bloody' from the medium-rare meats - really appreciated that! Don't sleep on their desserts - their cheesecake with the chocolate drizzle was not too sweet and a great way to end a meal. Try Honest Grill out - you'll really dig their quality of meats! +generous amount of high quality meats +comfortable seating +friendly and welcoming service +reservations accepted +plenty of parking in plaza lot read more

I am so glad I celebrated my birthday with Honest grill! The service was impeccable!!! Mar, the main waitress of our table, she was so amazing that she made my birthday more colorful! Thank you. read more

Always great service, great food, and great drinks each time we go! Our server is often Mar and she remembers us each time, she's remembered us from special occasions/milestones and asks how we're doing. We highly recommend this place to everyone! read more

Korean BBQ joint that is slightly more up-scale than most, but that has prices to match Seating is all private, and inside of booths They will actually cook the meat for you Tons of complimentary side dishes. As a whole they were just average, but the cheese corn and Brussel sprouts were fantastic The meat was pretty high quality Also have a-la-carte entrees (and drinks) in addition to their BBQ options read more

I had an absolutely amazing dining experience that I can't stop thinking about. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting--soft lighting, tasteful décor, and just the right level of energy in the room. It felt upscale without being intimidating, and comfortable without losing its elegance. The service was outstanding. The staff was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about every item on the menu, and genuinely enthusiastic about the food. Our server made thoughtful recommendations that turned out to be perfect choices. Now, the food--easily some of the best I've ever had. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. The appetizers were fresh and creative, the main course was cooked perfectly, and the desserts were absolutely unforgettable. You could tell that high-quality ingredients and real care went into every plate. Each bite felt intentional and balanced. What truly made the experience special was how seamless everything felt. The timing between courses was perfect, our drinks were always refilled, and we never felt rushed. It was the kind of meal where you look around halfway through and say, "Wow... this place is incredible." read more

we were served by Connor tonight. he was very kindly and delicately cooking all the beef's and porks in front of us. All meats tasted so good and the environment of the restaurant was very calm and clean. Most of all, the fan worked so well that we felt very com while dining at the place. read more

If you have the budget for it, this place has the best premium kbbq. Their premium beef combo is soooo good and every food (all meats, side dishes, a la carte entrees, everything) hits the spot. I've only been a few times because its $$$ but I've always been so satisfied with the food. Good for special occasions or if you just need some good kbbq! read more

This place has rave reviews and is worth every single one of them! We got lucky and happened to come on a Tuesday and we had no idea there is a great Tuesday special!!! We got the signature option with 4 meats and 2 fancy sides for a discount. My friend treated me as a belated bday dinner and it was one to remember. The cuts were so delicious and flavorful. No random pieces of crunchy fat or other low quality surprises. The shisito peppers were very tasty with the meats. Once the server came out with our plates and the portion of meat, I was worried it wouldn't be enough....but BOY we were stuffed! The bacon corn cheese was also a highlight! Highly recommend the meat packages versus the a la carte. Restaurant was fancy with a nice entrance and completely unexpected in the standard strip mall....ambiance was cozy and not too loud like meat project or iron age which can make it hard to chat with a pal over a calm meal. A little more uppity and pricey but well worth it for a major upgrade in quality and experience! read more

Very different vibe, compared to other KBBQ places I've been to. This one is more modern and upscale vibes. My husband and I got the Premium Beef combo for 2 (with king oyster mushroom on the side) and the Sea Urchin and Cod Roe Rice. My favorite cut was ribeye cap and prime short rib. The meat was high quality and super tender. Next time we go, we may just order from the a la carte menu, to get all the cuts we like. Also, when we went, if you checked in through Yelp you got a free soda! read more

Obviously very pricey option for kbbq but if you plan on treating yourself or family it's definitely worth checking out! It's clean and very upscale looking. I've gone a few times now and have never felt dissatisfied by the service nor the food! Their corn cheese is very tasty, I could do without the bacon but it doesn't affect the dish. Their lunch option is actually quite nice! I went last week and it was my first time getting their lunch special and I wasn't disappointed! I would highly recommend coming here for a special occasion! read more

Definitely on the expensive side, but worth it. The meat quality is excellent, banchan is well done, and the service is attentive and professional, including skilled grilling by the staff.
