The meat quality was good but the overall experience makes our family and friends not want to come back. Keeping it short, it felt like the server couldn't wait for us to leave. We were only on our third plate of meat and he was already asking us if we were full every time he came back and kept offering half servings. He ended it be giving us the check ten minutes from when the time was up. I never felt so hurried up to eat at a place where you're supposed to relax and enjoy. One of the worst kbbq experiences I've had for sure. Not coming back. read more

The new champion of Korean BBQ in the area! A few times a year I will go to Korean BBQ in the area for dates, celebrations, or special occasions. I was recommended to try this relatively new place. I was pretty surprised overall. Everything very clean. They don't have obnoxiously loud music playing like some others do, and quick all-you-can-eat service. All the meats tasted great. I wish they offered chicken, but it may be a hygienic issue since chicken is harder to cook completely without risk of getting sick. Everything overall tasted great. It's somewhat expensive if you have people that aren't big eaters, but it's worth a try! read more

I'm from SoCal so KBBQ AYCE is in my blood. This place is up to par! What sets this place apart is that they actually help cook the meat for you. Large place for families and groups of friends. Great drinks selection. Servers were all amazing! I'll definitely be back! read more

Another great Korean bbq spot in NoVa, I love it! The meat was fresh and tender and the sides are plentiful! Besides the meat, obviously, the sides are what I live for. They offer the standards sides usually offered at KBBQ as well as some "premium" sides like tofu stew and kimchi jigae! It wasn't crowded on a Friday night but might've been because it was very soon after they initially opened. Add them to your to-try list! read more

I loved the service, the vibe was very calm and quiet, it did not feel rushed by other places but more welcoming- very tasty food and I would recommend the rice cakes they are chewy and sweet and spicy- top on my list, the corn cheese is very good as well and the teriyaki chicken was to die for, make sure you roast it longer to get a nice sweet burn read more

best Korean bbq restaurant in the area! love the aesthetics of the place and the food is a 10/10. Our waiter, Ronald was phenomenal. He was extremely attentive and made sure we were satisfied the whole time. read more

You'll probably enjoy it here if you've never had kbbq before. It's a pretty authentic experience- I felt like I was back in Seoul! The company is actually based in Korea- most of their restaurants are there but this is the ONLY one in the USA! Kinda cool! If you check out their website it's all in Korean. That being said, this kbbq place is outrageously expensive and the portions are criminal. I won't lie- the food tastes good, but there are about 5 other kbbq places I can think of that offer similar experiences for less. The only real appeal to me is their $10 "all you can drink" add on- however it only includes beer and wine and does not include Korean beer. I feel that the only menu item that (potentially) is fairly priced is the all you can eat options. I say potentially because of course you really have to eat a lot to get your money's worth, as the cheapest ayce option is priced at $40! Definitely a challenge- especially because they have a time limit on how long you can order from that menu. There are other kbbq places not far from here that offer ayce for less, however not many have that all you can drink opportunity. One thing I wish I knew before coming here was how small the portions are. Because of this I DO NOT suggest the combo options. I lived in Korea for some time and while I was there I saw first hand how much meat comes with your order. For example- if you order pork belly in Korea, you get 3-5 strips of thickly cut meat. Here- they give you ONE STRIP that's cut in half so it looks like you're getting 2. If you didn't know better you'd possibly think that's a reasonable size. I asked our waiter if the smaller portion was because we got the combo. I assumed maybe because we get multiple meats they give you less of each. He said no- you'd get the same amount if you bought the pork belly by itself (and they'd charge you $25 for it!) For this reason I can only suggest the all you can eat. I have not tried the traditional dishes. Additionally- I want it to be known that we paid $18 for ONE bottle of the Yogurt flavored SoonHari soju. This is a flavor that's hard to find in America and was one of our favorites in Korea- so we didn't think twice about paying for it. However, later on we saw the same bottle for $5.99 at Total Wine. Compared to other kbbq places even their original flavored soju is priced pretty high. All that being said I did think the service was fantastic. We have loved our waiter BOTH times we have gone. The food still tasted good despite it being expensive and the all you can drink menu is an alluring feature. Then of course nothing beats the experience you get at an open grill authentic Korean BBQ place. read more

I had such a fun time here, and our server was wuite witty himself. I went here for a second date and it was such a fun experience. I asked for a glass of white wine and it was such a wholesome pour. I loved how we were able to cook the food ourselves which made it an exciting experience. The price was also very reasonable $35 AYCE and you were able to pick 3 meats at a tme and any sides would like. The sides were fresh, hot and came out quickly. So quick that once I started eating my ramen I forgot all about hte food on the hot plate (burn baby burn) lol. My date was so stressed because I was eating and wiggling in my seat and he ended up having to do the cooking. I will for sure return, possibly not this location but a similiar concept. The shrimp were huge and sweet, brisket tender, and it was a plus the ample array of sauces they provided us with and seasonings to use as we pleased. read more

Visited on a Saturday night for a family event, and was happily surprised. Had a large group so I called early and made a reservation. Employee was quick to answer and had no issues making a reservation for me. When we arrived it was not too busy and my party had a short wait till we were sat at our table. The atmosphere was pretty good but what you would typically expect out of a NoVA KBBQ. We were provided with your typical banchan which was all pretty tasty. Due to our servers recommendation we ended up ordering the XL Combo which comes with 4 choices of meat from their regular selection and the premium selection. We were a little disappointed to find out that the combo didn't come with rice so we had to order that on the side. Our server was very quick with our requests and handled most of the cooking with ease. All the food was very delicious and was super filling. The only reason it gets 4 stars is that for what you get it is on the pricier end. Other than that I have no issues whatsoever. They also have an option with the All You Can Eat for $10 you can get bottomless beer and wine. read more

This location is the first in the U.S. for this Korean chain that is known to specialize in intestines - Mak Chang Do Dook offers an AYCE option where you can choose from 8 meats - pork (pork intestines, fresh pork belly, marinated pork ribs, gochujang sliced pork belly) and beef (beef large intestines, chuck flap tail, marinated beef ribs, marinated bulgogi). They also have sets for 2-3 people and various sides (steamed egg, neng myun, etc.) you can order a la carte. We came here for an early dinner, and opted for the AYCE - we primarily focused on the marinated beef ribs (aka, yang nyum so galbi sahl), and had a little bit of the bulgogi at the end. Don't think the beef ribs is your typical galbi/L.A. galbi - it's definitely more tough, as it was more cartilage-y and more fatty; definitely took forever and a day to cook, and the grill didn't seem to be the proper version to cook this meat in a conducive way, as it just ended up burning the exterior while still being raw in its interior. The marinade is savory and flavorful, though. The bulgogi was just okay, as this seemed more on the lean end; I wished they had put more effort into the marinade as they did for the beef ribs. The jjigae had good flavor and had little bits of chadol as its protein. The dressed kong na mool was good, but a bit too sweet for my taste. There was also unlimited bowls of instant ramen (Jin Ramen) that you could order with your meal, which I thought was kind of funny; they prepared it well, and the ramen noodles were perfectly al dente! The steamed egg doesn't come with the AYCE, but the jjigae does. Rice was also complimentary, or otherwise, it would be an upcharge. I didn't touch mine because it was slightly burnt. Our server was super welcoming and kind, and he checked in on us frequently. Honestly, the price point was just not worth it, and I'm surprised that such exists in the Springfield area - maybe if we ate intestines, perhaps? I also noticed that the cleaning/wiping down process needed work, as the first table we were supposed to be seated at had gochujang stains on the booths; the bottle of water that we had at our table also had gochujang smeared on the side, and one of the stainless water cups had some crusty stains. I'm glad I was able to check this place out, but most likely wouldn't return. Parking is available in the strip plaza lot, but be weary of speeding cars. +high price point for AYCE +unlimited Jin Ramen with AYCE +cleanliness issue +friendly staff +plenty of parking in strip plaza lot read more

One of the BEST new KOREAN place I've been to in a while. This chain exists in South Korea. You can't get anymore Authentic than that. I've been twice in one week. After my friend suggested this place. I went on Wednesday and took my next friend on Saturday!! This will be a regular spot for me. read more

Absolutely love this place, the meat is fresh and so flavorful! They have options on top of options. AYCE is a bit pricey standing at almost $50 and it doesnt include your kalbi which is a tad bit sad, but they do have unlimited ramen!!! Service is outstanding, i always end up with the same nice lady who is a doll to us and the children everytime I've dined thus far! They have cheese corn and unlimited fries for the kiddos. Dumplings too. The sides do outweigh a lot of popular kbbqs around. Maybe that's why price is high...but premium meat selection too. If the price was iron age price, i think we'd be here ay least twice a week! The space is pretty big with lots of room to maneuver. I hate going to korean bbq that makes me feel congested to go to the bathroom and so fourth. Speaking of bathroom, it's very clean! Most places smell and I end up not enjoying the food so much. Not the case here! To top this place off, it's kung fu tea is diagonally across the street and so is nothing bundt cakes! So dessert is nearby if you are a dessert person haha! Definitely worth checking out if you like kbbq guys! read more

Really good, really pricey. Came for lunch with a friend. We took advantage of the Groupon going on that reduced the AYCE from $45 pp to about $30 pp (I had an additional coupon code that brought it from $37 to $30). Place was basically empty; and our server was good about refilling our water / checking on us. There was only one or two times where our server overcooked some of the food, but just barely. The food was tasty! The dae chang (Large Beef Intestines) were my favorite. The angus ribeye was honestly just okay. Although it's size was impressive, there was barely any marbling. The yangnyum galbi was pretty good, but needs to be cut several times - was not as tender as I've had at other places. Surprisingly full after just two rounds of meats (probably due to the high fat from the intestines). Would not say the normal pricing is worth it, I would only go here with the discounts, given gopchang story is great and cheaper. Will definitely be back try more of the menu, especially the chadol bakgi (beef brisket). read more

Great service! The waitress was very attentive and helped us with cooking all the meats. She was also very friendly and even served each and everyone of of the party the meats when they were finished cooking. Ambiance wise, the restaurant does play Korean pop music and I would say the restaurant is very open, which makes the seating feel more spacious. Amazing quality of meats as well. We had the short ribs, the intestines, the pork shoulder, and the brisket at all of it tasted amazing! For the price I think this place is worth it for the quality and its AYCE. read more

Service is Superb ! Waiter is extremely well attending to the guests and making sure the meat is cooked to perfection. Definitely do the $50 all you can eat bc that has the marinated short ribs and Galbi !! By far these two are my favorite selection. If it's your b day - you get a free cheesecake and they will sing hbd to you! On top of the galbi and short ribs I loved the spicy pork belly and their French fries. yup you heard it right their French fries are delicious .... Yum !!! Also have $10 all you can drink which I feel like if you drank more beer you can't eat as much. But still not a bad deal. Great ambiance and very spacious. Would recommend !!! -1 for any of the non marinated meat I had wasn't great quality. Also don't have as much small dishes like other Korean bbq places. read more

You have to try it!!!! This was honestly an experience!!! The service was great and guy the who served us was just so nice and jay very attentive!!! The food was soooooooooo good!!! So!

Third visit to this place still fire They have updated their menu since my last visit!! New additions to note are the prime ribeye(only one per person if you order ayce) and beef abdomens. Their steamed egg (only five bucks) is so fluffy and cheesy and delicious!!! As always, spectacular service also!! My server Sean, made sure to explain the new addition and did not skimp on the sides or any requests. Always at your table and being so informative. The price may have gone up a little bit since they have updated their menu but considering they have so MUCH sides like ramen, soy bean stew, corn cheese, rice, and etc as unlimited for ayce is a crazy good deal considering the inflation. They also offer some salads, lettuce wraps, and crazy good spicy bean sprouts so cleanse your palate in between all those delicious meats you are served Ambience, ventilation, and hygiene is always awesome 10/10 recommend read more

Hands down my favorite AYCE KBBQ in the DMV area. It is definitely on the higher end of the price spectrum, but personally it's worth it. Hailing from Southern CA (LA/OC) where kbbq is plentiful, I would say Makchang Dodook ranks really high up there for me in comparison. I went with a couple of friends on a Saturday for lunch right when they opened and we did not have to wait at all. We started out with three different salads and tried both beef and pork. Since I tend to only eat beef, I will say the quality of the meat, the brisket, galbi, and ribeye were all so good. My friends really enjoyed the pork belly, the gochujang and the the plain. With quality meat, great sauces, plenty of side dishes, and great service, Makchang Dodook will be my go to when it comes to AYCE. read more

Their name says it all...kbbq that has pork and beef intestines! You do not find intestines on most kbbq menus so it's a must try! They have both AYCE and set portion options but of course we opted for AYCE since it's our first time! The meats were great quality and marinated well. The galbi was not in strips but in medallion form...nonetheless they were delicious. I must say this place is now my top choice. Our server Jack was awesome; he was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive! Their AYCE side options are limited but does include ramen and dumplings. There are other sides that are additional priced. read more

With so many food choices in the DMV, this place grazes among the top of my favorites. - The food was excellent! - The ambiance is a nice mix between elegant and comfortable - The meat cuts choices are very high grade. However the star of the was our server Myung! I grew up working in service family business from 13 - 23 and he is among the best I've ever seen. You didn't need to ask for napkins. I loved the fact that he cooked the food for us and what blew us away... we had a Muslim in the group and as soon as we mentioned someone at the table didn't eat pork, he governed himself accordingly; got separate tongues and everything. read more

Job was an awesome server! He was really kind and always checked up on us during the shift!

If I had to describe this place in one word, it would be WOW! I've been to a few Korean BBQ joints in the Arlington/Fairfax/Alexandria area and this one takes the cake. Three main takeaways: 1. High Quality Meat 2. Extremely Clean 3. Quick and efficient service In the area? Check it out. read more

We came in for late lunch/early dinner and were seated promptly! The interior is spacious, modern, and clean. The wait staff was very patient and knowledgeable answering all of our questions. Love that they have the option for all you can eat, but also sets that are really reasonably priced. The meats are super quality and generous. Also the soybean, tofu soups, and steamed egg are to die! For the price and value I'll definitely come back! read more

Came here on a whim because we wanted Korean BBQ but we wanted to try somewhere we haven't gone to yet. The place was practically empty on a Sunday early afternoon and we were seated right away. The price is higher for the AYCE options than other places but the quality of the meat made it worth it. Some of the best thin sliced brisket and thin cut pork belly we've had. The ribeye was also delicious, as was the rib meat and the galbi. The server was attentive, coming to cook our meat and replenish banchan when requested. We did request the brisket and pork belly be crispy and he delivered. I could do without the dried seasoning on top of the steamed egg but it was still delicious and mixed with the broth from the soondubu on top of rice was perfect. Their fries were cooked perfectly. They also offer ramen but we did not partake. I had to stop eating the rice so I could try and finish all the meat. The rice was also perfectly cooked. At other places, the rice can be a bit on the soggy/mushy side. Overall very happy with this place and would definitely visit again. read more

Honestly, Ian made the experience for us. Food was great, but service was even better. Will be back soon!

Ask for AMY to be your server!!! She was so attentive and will cut your meat into bite size portions. She made sure our meat did not get burnt. Amy was awesome! Sit at her table, you will receive the best service. I also recommend spending the $50 upgrade option. It's worth the money! The quality of meat here is also premium. You will notice the taste of quality. Everything here is delicious!! Highly recommended! Ask for Amy! read more

We went in last night for AYCE. It's a bit pricey for AYCE at $39 per person, however, they do have intestines on the menu, and that's considered a delicacy and is expensive. They are in the "soft opening" phase right now, but we had a great experience! The meats and the side dishes were delicious and very high quality. The quality is not even comparable to other AYCE KBBQ places we have been before. I highly recommend if you are fellow KBBQ lover! FUN FACT: they give you UNLIMiTED Korean ramen with all you can eat lol read more
