Boo-hoo, look around and you'll find a spot unless you're driving a yacht. Now, to the setting and the food...the setting is the way I like it. Rustic, clean, unassuming, not fancied up. Wooden privacy screens are set in between tables. (Perhaps because of Covid? Not sure.) This to me was really comfortable, didn't feel like I was stuck in a cattle car. I'm sure there's Korean BBQ here but we weren't at such a table. In fact it looked like grills had been removed from some tables and replaced with wooden covers. So nice to have that extra space because... Ordered bibimbap, bulgogi, steamed dumplings, etc. The extra side dishes I enjoy (kimchi, sprouts, etc.) were there as well. Ice tea, yadda yadda. Korean music was playing but it wasn't loud, on another screen by the kitchen I could see Family Guy. Again, not loud or intrusive. Didn't feel like they skimped on portions, there was plenty. Almost too much, wasn't sure I'd manage to finish the bulgogi but I did...mmm. Overall, this place is a nice break from other places. If you want to take someone out and just enjoy yourselves, this would be it. Perhaps a bit different when full, but still. Btw, it's been 13 years since I first went here. This week was only the second time. I totally forgot where it was or whether it was still around. So glad it is.

We've been coming to this AYCE kbbq spot for a while now and it's already a favorite, but I had to…read morewrite a review after being served by Andrew twice. Andrew is genuinely one of the best servers I've had anywhere. Super professional without feeling stiff, really easy to talk to, and just completely on top of everything. He managed the grill perfectly the whole time, paced the meat so nothing felt rushed or slow, and kept the heat just right without us ever having to ask. Our table never sat empty either. Banchan refills came out fast, drinks stayed full, and everything just flowed. What stood out the most was how seamless the entire experience felt. You don't realize how much that matters until you have someone who does it this well. It made the whole meal way more enjoyable. On top of that, the food here is already great and for $45 AYCE it's honestly a steal. But having Andrew take care of us twice now is what really made me want to leave this review. If you come here, definitely ask for Andrew if you can. He elevates the whole experience.

We left the cooking and ordering up to him. We arrived ariund 730 on a Saturday and had to wait about an hour for a table. We sat at the bar and ordered soju and I had a lychee martini, which was so delicious. We went with the premium meats and started with brisket, which was good, but simple. It was perfect with the veggies and sauces that were given. The rice and soup was delicious! My husband had two rounds eventhough we told him to save room. We then had the marinated boneless short rib, which was marinated perfectly and super flavorful and tender. We also ordered fried dumplings and a few rounds of ramen. The ramen was so delicious, especially when you add more veggies and meat. Overall, great ambiance and experience. The food is great, especially if you enjoy Korean bbq. Definitely worth a visit.

I've tried it at a couple other places in the area and been underwhelmed, the one here is quite good, second only to my holy grail version which is sadly in a state I don't plan to revisit. We also had a seafood panjeon and it was excellent - tons of seafood and vegetables, a crisp breading that didn't feel doughy at all. The food was served with a couple banchan (radish, cabbage kimchi and the pickled radish + raw onion that is usually served with jjajangmyeon). The prices are great for Korean food; the jjajangmyeon was 10.99, pancake 19.99 and hubs and I brought about half of each home. We probably could have gotten away with just ordering one or the other but having leftovers is golden. We'll be back to try some other items on the menu!

Our food was made to order and came out quite fast, we can hear the uncle (assuming) in the back firing up the wok. The lady spoke both Korean and Chinese, and we learned they're from Yan Bian. We ordered the jajang myun and tang su yuk combo, and a sulluntang. The sizes were not enormous, but good sized for us 2 people. All the dishes were solid. The sulluntang brother was rich, when it cooled it formed a nice "skin" layer on top. It's made with juicy brisket and noodles, comes with white rice as standard. Tang su yuk was crispy. Highly recommend this place, seems very homey and like a mom and pop run place. Would def return when I'm craving Korean-Chinese food again!

It tasted very clean. DON Chicken is way less greasy than some other kfc places like Bonchon which is a plus. Fries were good too and the pickled radish was perfect with the chicken. Items were packaged well for takeout. They put a layer of aluminum foil underneath the chicken which blocks it from making contact with the box. There was a sheet of parchment underneath the fries as well. Very thoughtful packaging. Love the extra care they put into the order! Making plans to come back for another meal soon. Highly recommend.

The breading was crispy, the chicken was juicy, and the sauce was delicious. Most impressively, the breading was so crunchy that when I ate it the next day, it retained its crunch! Truly a transcendental chicken experience. The service and ambiance were decent. They were in the middle of a menu change, so it was a bit confusing to order the first time, and some items on the menu were actually no longer being served. The prices are fair for everything except the fried oysters. The fried oysters are actually a STEAL! I paid $9 for 8 fried oysters, which is an insanely good price for freshly prepared oysters. Out of all of the restaurants I tried during my time in Maryland, I will miss DON Chicken the most

The salmon was generous in portions, but had an off taste to them (combination of not being fresh and a slight mildew/old dish rag taste).

The seafood soft tofu stir wasn't bad! I like the taste and spice. The tofu texture was also fine Of the sides, the Kimchi and cabbage salad were the best.

We enjoyed them and the entrees were both big. Today, we got the lunch special, which is a choice of entree from the lunch menu and a can of soda, all for $12.95. I got the spicy pork bowl and my partner got the teriyaki shrimp bowl. Both were delicious. I enjoyed the spiciness of my sauce, but the sauce also had a bit of sweet to it and was pretty light (some sauces are gelatinous). Same with the teriyaki. The shrimp were well prepared (there were 8 of them!) and the sauce nice and light. The server came by a couple of times to fill water glasses and I actually took some of my entree home for dinner - with the rice, it's a lot to eat. Speaking of the rice, although it's simple boiled white rice, I liked the texture and it was good. Unfortunately, I've tried a few of their offerings now, but have still not tried the fried chicken/wings. I'll have to try them another time.

Some of the whole chicken pieces (especially the breast) were a bit dry or had more breading than meat. But the wings we ordered were super tender, juicy, and flavorful. The included sides are pickled radish, salad, and coleslaw, which were a nice touch. They helped cut through the oiliness and paired well with the chicken. Our favorite flavor was the "sweet & spicy" wings (level 2 spice), nice kick and really tasty. The "white snow" flavor was sweet and powdery (kind of like sweet cheddar), not my thing but my friends enjoyed it. The menu was a bit hard to understand at first and felt a little overwhelming to navigate. Took us a few minutes to figure out how to order. Servicewise, the food came out in waves. We got fries and one half chicken first, then the rest of the food and drinks about 20 minutes later. Not a huge issue, but it would've been better if fries and drinks came out first. Overall, fun vibes and cute decor. I'd come back for drinks and wings with friends. Bonus: there's a cute free photo booth in the back of the restaurant near the bathroom.

Literally everything they make is good And besides Bobs Shanghai, I am certain these are the best xiaolongbao I've had in MOCO! They are BIG, juicy, soupy, meaty and so yummy. I don't like that they always forget to give us the vinegar sauce but we ask for it anyways. Highly recommend!!

Ordered the beef combo knife slice noodle soup, pork soup dumplings, pork wontons with homemade spicy sauce, and the pan fried pork buns. The pan fried pork buns were the clear MVP here, perfectly crispy on the outside with that satisfying crunch, but soft and fluffy inside. Super filling too, which is always a win in my book. The beef noodle soup was solid comfort food with good portions, and the dumplings hit the spot. Only minor thing - I wished the "spicy sauce" had more kick to it. Could've used some extra heat, but that's me being picky. For the price and portion sizes, this place delivers (pun intended). You're getting a solid amount of food that actually tastes good. Would definitely order again, and those pork buns are going to be a repeat item for sure.
