For three people, we got the Combo 2 (brisket, pork belly, bulgogi and galbi) large portion for $138--this was plenty of food for us, we couldn't even finish it all, had to pack it to-go! My favorite was the Marinated Short Rib Galbi--meat was tender and flavorful. The Soybean Soup, Angry Egg and Corn Cheese were included too--all delicious. Service was great as well. Our server Subin was super cool and attentive. Will definitely be back!

Great service (oddly they're all REALLY attractive Asian guys... save for the front desk girl - and I'm a straight, married, asian male), prices are great for the quality of meat and service you get (they cook for you) They come with the little appetizer plates like most Korean restaurants do, and they all have their own little twist to them, not super vanilla but still keeping to their roots and simple flavors. The green onion one was particularly memorable Our side dishes were excellent. Cheesy corn and seafood pancake. Both come out in cast iron pan, so it's piping hot and super fresh. Corn is hella cheesy and paired great with the appetizers. The seafood pancake was DENSE - really packed with seafood and not so much filler We got their combo so it came with kimchi soup and egg soufflé. The soup was very simple, very spicy. The soufflé was a nice contrast - light, fluffy, honestly almost felt like a desert. We definitely done made a mistake because for two of us, by this time the meats were ready to be cooked, we were about 60% full - and there were 4 meats to cook through We got brisket, pork belly, bulgogi, and another beef I don't remember - ended up taking about 1/3 of it home and half the pancake Our server was attentive and busy managing other tables so it's great to see all these guys staying sharp Considering how much food we took home, the bill was quite reasonable. Eyes were definitely bigger than our stomach this time tldr; fantastic kbbq served by ridiculous hot Asian guys. You need a reservation to get a table here

We had à la carte marinated beef galbi (ribs), brisket, seafood pancake, and kimchi stew, and they all tasted high quality, really clean and tasty flavors of banchan and homemade sauce, and the kimchi stew tasted legit, just like Korea. Not only food, but all servers looked genuinely happy to be working there, very attentive to customers, and friendly. It again reminded me of a cozy family like restaurant vibe in Korea where they treat you like "family".

Instead, you order combos or a la carte meats, which highlights the quality of what you're getting! For our meal, we ordered a feast of the Chosun Hwaro Combo (Medium), Baekdusan bulgogi, japchae, and bibim naengmyun. The meat quality here is extremely PREMIUM and every bite was super juicy, tender, and packed with flavor! I cannot stop thinking about the Baekdusan bulgogi because it was truly a savory MEAT MOUNTAIN. Our kind server gave us a pro tip to mix the sauce with rice. That completely changed the dish for me! The sauce soaking into the rice made it unbelievably rich and satisfying. I loved that the combos come with steamed egg and soybean paste stew, which were comforting sides alongside all the grilled meat and ban chan (kimchi, radish, etc) already at the table. As for my noodle dishes, I usually never order japchae, but I did and this one ended up being the best japchae of my life. It was PACKED with so many flavorful meat and vegetable toppings. To finish the meal, we got bibim naengmyun, which is my favorite Korean cold noodle dish. It was so refreshing, chewy, and the perfect way to balance out all the grilled meats. Between the amazing high-quality meats, entrees, and thoughtful service, Chosun Hwaro was a memorable meal and definitely a spot I'd return to whenever I'm craving delicious Korean BBQ in Virginia!!

This is my favorite KBBQ spot of all time…read more Every person that has served us has given us an amazing experience and conversations. This is the pinnacle of meat quality from any Korean barbecue I have ever been to. (I grew up eating the kbbqs around center and DMV so I will stand on this take). The inside of this place also looks like a club and aesthetically pleasing to me. If you're looking for a fun time at the highest of high quality, come to CHOSUN.

We ordered kimbap, rose tteok-bokki and some Korean Fried Chicken. All of the items that we ordered were great and satisfying. We also ordered their cold noodles and it was pretty big portions. I would say that eating here in person is probably better than doing take out. I think the take out amount is a bit smaller. So yes, I've eaten this twice and both times I enjoyed it. It's not too heavy but they also have dishes that are on the heavier side. Service wise, they were very friendly and it's a mom and pop shop. It's limited seating and when we visited they had a lot of take out. I can see myself coming back here.

It's super long, naturally sweet and very very chewy. The sauce is good but maye one level too spicy for me to eat comfortably. If i have a drink i'll be ok lol. The brisket is a little too thin where its more like falling apart but still made it tasty. Its good size to share with 2-3 people. The dumplings were mostly filled with glass noodles and went really well, maintaining its crunch with the sauce. 3.25/5

We used to pick it up from the restaurant inside H Mart, but for around the same price point, you get a much fresher and better-quality soup here. It was seriously so good.

We've also dined in before and tried their marinated ribs with cold noodles, and we were thoroughly impressed. Everything tasted fresh, comforting, and authentic.

The menu was extensive, filled with lots of homey options that I don't usually see in other restaurants. After ordering, we were served six different banchans, all of which were incredibly homey -- light and not too savory. My favorites were the acorn jelly (which was mixed with salted seaweed and sesame seeds) and the white kimchi. Honestly, all six were really solid. AL TANG - 19.99 Super savory with lots of "sea sweetness" and umami, this stew was rich and piping hot upon arrival. I've never had al tang before, but have heard great things about it. Unfortunately, I didn't love the texture of fish roe (kind of reminded me of the texture of cooked chicken lungs). By the end of the stew, I thought it was too salty, so I didn't end up finishing it. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but I probably won't get it again. My friend got the mackerel which he loved. I'll look forward to other items on the menu next time.

Deep, rich flavor and perfectly balanced--never too salty or bland. The consistency is spot-on every time, which is hard to find. Rose Jjambbong - 9/10 Excellent blend of flavors. You get the creamy rosé profile from the milk, cream, and cheese, but it still keeps the bold, spicy seafood jjambbong character. Rich without being overwhelming. Kkanpunggi - 6/10 Good overall flavor--sweet with a little heat--but this one missed the mark for me. I wish it had more spice and used the more traditional kkanpunggi-style chicken instead of the Chinese sesame chicken-style round battered pieces. Still enjoyable, just not what I was hoping for. Overall, Il Poom Hyang delivers high-quality Korean-Chinese dishes with great consistency. Highly recommend, especially for their noodles. Will definitely keep coming back.
