I give The Qui in Chantilly 3 stars overall for an "A-OK" experience. We decided to check it o for a KBBQ lunch given its nearby location to an errand we were running. The inside of the restaurant is nicer than expected, with a cavernous and industrial feel. Our waitress was the only one working the whole restaurant. She nonetheless provided prompt and efficient service, including meat cooking, during our meal. We opted for AYCE option for $38. We sampled the spicy pork belly, spicy and regular pork bulgogi, and the thinly sliced pork belly. All the pork cuts had a tender texture and we found the marinades savory and not too sweet, in comparison to other restaurants. The sole beef option I tried was the top blade steak. While tender, the meat was watery and subsequently lacked flavor. We found the banchan and side dishes here weak. Most of the banchan had too much sugar for our palette. Banchan were limited to basic selections such as kimchi, potato salad, and picked radish; some higher end choices such as fish cake would have been welcome. The corn cheese, while gooey, lacked seasoning. The fried rice cakes had a pleasantly crisp and bouncy texture when served fresh, though gummed up after a couple of minutes. The steamed eggs actually had great flavor, but are cooked on the grill such that the bottoms burn. Overall, this felt like a relatively standard KBBQ experience for the area. While the pork options tasted of a decent quality, the remainder of the meal fell a bit flat. While not bad by any means, we experienced no compelling reason to return to the Qui over either a new restaurant or repeat visit to a standby. read more

My friends and I came here for the REGULAR $38 AYCE experience this past Monday evening. We were seated immediately without any wait, with the spread of banchan ready for us. The salad was pretty refreshing, and I enjoyed the potato salad and broccoli. The service was alright. We cooked our own meat, and our server only came to check on us occasionally. Between the three of us, we shared six different meats (and they actually give you so much per order) along with a few sides that were also unlimited. The thin-sliced brisket was actually pretty fatty, so we are unsure what the fatty brisket plate would have been like. The top blade steak was also quite good with the side of salt and sesame oil, but I recommend keeping a good watch on it to not over-grill it. The thin-sliced pork belly was fatty and juicy. Next, we tried the beef bulgogi, orange beef bulgogi, and cumin pork belly. Marinated meats aren't usually my favorites, but my friends really enjoyed the orange beef bulgogi. The combination was unique and surprisingly, it worked well. The cumin pork belly was interesting and flavorful, and I would recommend ordering one to try. As for the sides, I thought the steamed egg had a weird texture. It was definitely not freshly made. The corn cheese was fine and same with the fried rice cakes. My friends enjoyed the beef radish soup, but I found it a bit too bland. Overall, not my favorite AYCE KBBQ in the area, but it was worth going to once. read more

I came here for dinner with some friends and it was $38 pp. I really enjoyed the thin sliced briskets and bulgogi the most here. The sauces and sides were good and typical like most kbbq spots. Staff were very friendly and got me food even after the 90 minute limit and replace the grill as they walked by. A very solid spot for KBBQ!

We enjoy Korean BBQ and this is one of our favorite spots. Most recently, we dined on a Saturday night and the waiters were very prompt. We noticed there were two sides of the restaurant, each had 1-2 waiters/waitresses assigned per side. They seemed to be rather busy, so we were surprised by his attentiveness. The restaurant offered generous portion sizes of their meats and when we asked for a mush smaller portion than normal, just to try something new he was happy to oblige! Our favorite from here is always the spicy beef bulgogi and spicy pork belly. The new items we tried were the masala honey butter chicken- if you like Indian food, you will enjoy it! I wasn't sure what to expect but thought it was surprisingly good. My husband who is not a fan of regular Indian dishes did not care for it. We also tried the Orange beef bulgogi. Neither of us cared for this one, but if you love the taste of oranges.. you will love it! It was VERY orange tasting, we were expecting just a hint of orange. Overall we had a great experience here. Even being busy, it didn't seem loud. I will say because of how dark it is, after eating Korean BBQ does make you a bit sleepy. read more

We randomly found this place coming back home from NOVA. Walking in we were promptly seated. Our server was pleasant and towards the end was busy so we waited a bit for our check but understandably. They played K-POP music (which I loved) and was kind of dim in there. You have to use your phone to look at the menu, but they do have physical menus if needed. We ordered the regular all you can eat and then I added on the LA galbi. This was the first KBBQ place I've been where the add on is only one choice vs all the meat. You also have to ask for the sides you want, I'm used to places just bringing them out but I also understand they don't want anything to go to waste. The banchans (side dishes) were decent, no complaints. You can get them refilled as many times as needed. At the time we went, they only had 1 kimchi - which was the cabbage kimchi. I'd def go back! read more

My boyfriend and I came here for lunch over the weekend and from the moment we walked in we knew we had made a good choice. The host by the front door was incredibly friendly and welcoming which set a great tone right away. The restaurant was quiet since it was lunchtime which made it feel calm and comfortable, the kind of place where you can actually talk and enjoy your food without shouting over noise. Our waiter Evan was a standout from the start. He was friendly, attentive, and somehow always appeared at the perfect time. He recommended the fatty brisket and thank goodness he did because it ended up being the star of the meal. We ordered it an embarrassing FOUR times and loved every bite. The brisket was rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly each time. Evan made sure our sauces were always topped off, the teriyaki sauce especially, and checked in often enough to make sure everything was just right without hovering. Definitely ask for him if you go because he really made the experience even better. The all you can eat option is 38 a person and honestly a solid deal considering what's included. You can order three meats at a time and there are around 20 different options ranging from beef, pork, and chicken to shrimp and squid. There's plenty of variety and the sides pair nicely with everything. They were out of several Japanese beers which was a little disappointing and we were hoping for fried rice or glass noodles but those weren't available. Still, there were enough other dishes and flavors to make up for it. By the end we were completely stuffed and should've been rolled out of there. Overall it was a fun, filling, and relaxed date spot with great food, great service, and a lot of variety. We'll definitely be back! read more

This AYCE Korean BBQ place still remains one of the top options for me. Being in NOVA; KBBQ are plenty to come by. But The Qui has remained consistently good in my opinion. My last experience here was great from start to finish. The meats were seasoned just right, portions were large and stellar customer service from our waitress. What more could you ask for? read more

Omg!!!!! Honestly - after a 40 minute wait, not worth it!! At all. And to make matters worse, the server sucked.his name was Deurim. He was not attentive, he seemed very preoccupied, we had to flag him down constantly, and his attitude just threw me and my friend off he was not a welcoming or pleasant server. This was my first time there but my friend has been a few times and he was even appalled at the horrible service. The food quality - seemed worse than Iron Age. My friend ordered cheese corn and it was literally water and corn with a small piece of cheese that didn't melt, the steamed egg was not fresh, and as you see below the steak came with such a thick tendon down the middle and looked unappetizing. We also ordered orange bulgogi and it tasted like artificial orange and just overall WEIRD. Will not return read more

I remember those days when I had to drive an hour to Annandale to get really, good KBBQ at places like Kogiya. I'm glad I no longer have to drive that far! Qui is so close to me and it's as good as it gets. I have a feeling the Chateau next door and Qui are owned by the same owner because the décor here is also spectacular just like Chateau. It has its own character though. The massive pipe light work on the wall is quite an industrial statement. The best KBBQ places are set apart by the quality of their meat. I don't think you can get any better level of meat than what Qui offers except maybe Wagyu and Kobe in Japan. Qui has multiple options. An unlimited buffet option with some basic meats, another unlimited buffet option with meats plus seafood, and then a non-buffet set of selected meats. You cannot order single dishes. We always go with the basic buffet option. Beef brisket is always our first choice to ease into it. We also quite like garlic pork belly and chicken. We don't usually order chicken at a KBBQ place but the chicken here tastes quite good so we always get it at least once. Don't forget to order the side dishes too! The egg, the soup, and the rice cakes! Yum! The crowd is not predictable in my experience. Sometimes, we came on Fridays and weekends expecting an hour's wait, but there was no wait. Sometimes, an hour's wait is pretty standard. Once you get seats though, you're well taken care of because the staff works fast! read more

I've gone to The Qui numerous times with coworkers, and it has easily become our favorite spot to eat out. We always receive good service, and the meat is very high quality. I've been to other KBBQ places with much higher price points, and honestly, you cannot tell the difference in quality. The prices here are great for what you get. I can't wait to bring my kids here this weekend! read more

I'm sorry to say I haven't previously had much experience with Korean BBQ. But I'm also glad to have had dinner here as a first experience. The food was quite tasty, and the atmosphere was casual and friendly. I think our server was very new, just based on having to get answers to a couple of questions. But he also grilled and prepared all the meats for us. In fact the only "hands on" we had to do for our dinner was peeling the shrimp. The "basic" selections. The specialty cocktails were interesting and eye-appealing, but the house cocktails were made just as well and several dollars cheaper. A few things could have been better. Your table comes with an assortment of sides, which, to my pleasure, included kimchi. But it was room temperature, which to me makes it much less palatable. The standard meats can have a bit of gristle, chew, fat, etc., so you may want to spend the $$ for a premium meat to be included. Your all-you-can-eat experience is 90 minutes, and it would be nice if your server gave you a head's up about it, rather than just abruptly dropping the check on the table. But these are little things. The overall experience was quite enjoyable. read more

This AYCE korean bbq is right next to my house so i HAVE to try it. First of, the parking is plenty in the back but a little tight in the front of the restaurant! We were seated after 10 minutes (we stopped by for lunch) and they weren't crowded. They had maybe 2 servers when we were there. Food came out within 5 minutes but it did took them a bit to take our order. I had requested the lettuce platter and it was $5 extra . The brisket here was pretty unseasoned so make its perfect with the sauce. We also tried chicken masala and it's perfectly seasoned. AYCE price is $36 which is pretty decent! The ambiance was big and not too overwhelming and lots of space. I would recommend this place for korean bbq craving day! read more

FOOD We had their regular AYCE option for a table of 9 right when it opened. The range of options was really good for the price range, and the 90 minute limit was a lot more than I thought. *Thin-sliced brisket: 7/10 *Beef bulgogi: 10/10, so juicy and flavorful! *Orange beef bulgogi: 3/10; juicy and flavorful but the orange aftertaste was a little too strong for me *Spicy beef bulgogi: 8/10 *Top blade steak: 7/10 *Honey butter squid: 7/10 *Shrimp: 5/10 DRINKS They have an array of soft drinks and signature cocktails available. SERVICE The staff are kind and friendly! Our server was really accommodating for not only our table but also for the myriad around us as well. AMBIANCE The high ceilings inside the restaurant make for a roomy experience. The smoke can get in your face so I did wish there was an exhaust fan by the table. PARKING Ample parking is available in the lot behind the store. read more

Love it here! Our server is always our favorite. She is one of the best in the business. Food is always great and its very spacious!

Great Korean bbq place with a good choice of meats and sides. We always go for the cumin pork belly, one of our favorite meals in the area.

Came here on a Friday evening at 7 expecting there to be at least a 30 minute wait, but it was less than 10 minutes. Service was also very friendly and prompt right as our group entered. Once we were seated, all our sauces and side dishes and a pitcher of water were already on the table which was nice. We were able to order right away and barely waited for all our meats as well. You have to request sesame oil if you want the sesame oil dip for the bbq by the way. Our server was super attentive and cooked all of our meats for us and distributed them to each person as well. Overall, our table had a great experience! Would definitely return with different groups of people too. read more

All you can eat Korean BBQ?! Sign me up!!! Came here with my cousins and despite the 90 minute time limit, we walked out of here STUFFED. The menu has a lot of great options, but we enjoyed our dinner and ordered a variety of meats and seafood (squid and shrimp). Highly recommend coming here and for the price, you cannot walk out hungry! read more

NOVA has tough competition for AYCE K-BBQ, and the Qui did not disappoint. First off, the meat portions are really large. Our server was incredibly friendly and checked on us/the meats very frequently. The hot sides are all included, and none will be brought out unless you specifically ask for them. Knowing that we were first timers, that is the only thing I wished our waiter warned us about. Otherwise, the meats are not seasoned, but obviously there is always sauces. Go for the thin brisket and the classic bulgogi, if you are a novice like me, and you will not be disappointed. 90 minute seating limit wasn't even an issue for us. Enjoyed the industrial vibe and good distance with even the adjacent table. Solid option in the area and good price. read more

The QUI Korean BBQ & Bar - Very generation portions: Thin brisket and top blade steak - Barbeque Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Our server was Aiden, he wasn't pleasant nor attentive. He barely was at the table and had an indifferent personality, seems like he was disinterested whenever serving us. The food was also not the best, it could've been better. Not a big fan of the grill since the middle was slightly slanted higher which caused the meat to slide to the sides. The grill was burnt and the grill was turned up to the highest setting so our meat was burning but again he wasn't there to see if everything was okay. Spending my money here was a waste because the food was average to less but with the horrible service that was given made me even more upset for trying this place when there's better kbbqs in the area. read more

A solid favorite in the NOVA area for Korean BBQ. They give you plenty of meats, I taste like quality, they don't give a ton of fatty pieces, and the prices are reasonable. Honestly I've went to a ton of spots in the area and this is still a staple. I can't ask for better! The service is always great they're super attentive and kind. I didn't have to wait super long for a party of two. They have a lot of great deals. The inside is pretty cool. It's not fancy, it's more of a casual spot. However, I do see people come and celebrate events. I think they have different events too. My favorites: He cocktails are great The spicy bulgogi both beef and pork The top blade The honey masala butter chicken Thinly sliced brisket read more

My all time favorite kbbq spot is The Qui in Chantilly! The quality of meats is always very good, and I love the AYCE options! The service this time was ok, hence the 4 stars. Our waiter was very absent and we cooked all the meats ourselves. I love their banchan, with pickled onions and cucumbers, kimchi, salad with peanut sauce, pink daikon, potato salad, cold sesame broccoli ! We ordered seconds of all!! When we ordered squid, it came in a container and we were unsure how to cook it. When we asked for guidance, he looked at us strangely and told us to put it on the grill. We had it going in the container the whole time bc it looked like it would cook like cheesy corn. The ambience was good, we can closer to 5:30, and it wasn't too crowded. We didn't wait long. They do have a 90 minute dining in restriction but that was enough time to eat! read more

Food and service? Absolutely excellent! The only reason I'm taking off one star is that the steamed egg, buttered squid, and corn cheese come in tin foil cups to cook on the grill. I'd personally prefer to keep my food off aluminum when it's heating up, call me crunchy, but I like my deliciousness chemical-free. read more

Stopped here while at the convention in the chantilly area. Normally, Vog is the general who leads us into battle but due to a freak Canasta injury, he wasn't able to make the trip with us. After heavy prayer and a tootski, I decided I was ready to step up and see if I had what it takes. Very upscale looking place, big rot iron front door and dark decor and painting - Edison bulbs for decoration and two floors. We were sat upstairs with a balcony view and got to work. We ordered the AYCE 3 - which is just your standard array of meats, and I started us out with the brisket, bulgogi and pork belly. The sides and individual sauce plates were already there ready, so we chomped on some kimchi and broccoli which was fire. The meats came out and I got to work- helpful was the fact the grille top is slanted like a roof so you can do two meats and a time and don't have to worry about cross grease interference. The brisket was cooked without a hitch, passed it around and threw on the bulgogi and pork. Got a good sear to the pork and cut it into slices to further and finish the cook, using all the skills I've watched Vog use. The final boss of you will was the spicy bulgogi which came in two forms - pork and beef. They did swap out the grille tops but with the seasoning on the meat things started to char quickly and I had to move things around to keep us from getting burned up. Overall I did a good job, but I can't wait to have my brother in Christ Zak back on the ones and twos (tongs and scissors). Good food - standard price. Server was nice and attentive. read more

Solid spot for some Korean bbq. Our server was 10/10, he made sure we were taken care of and didn't mess up once for a group of like 7. Just stick to the usual. Was not a fan of the orange bulgogi lol, but everything else was fantastic. Enjoyed the pork belly as it had great flavor, and the aesthetic of the place was pretty cool. It's two floors so that's pretty unique. Happy to have checked them out. read more

Would have loved to try their food here, but it is set up where you have to buy at least two orders, even if there is only one. I get this whole capitalism thing, but really?!?! I couldn't even find anything I wanted to take to go! Energy was low and subdued. Not that happening of a place. Instead I got a recommendation of other places to go near by. What a bummer. What was weird is that they weren't even busy! read more

Probably my favorite Korean bbq restaurant in the Chantilly area. First time at Qui and it did not disappoint! My Baltimore based co-worker raved about it and would drive an hour+ to eat here, so I knew I had to try it out myself. First off, plenty of parking and it's right next to a bakery. Automatic great location, those are big pluses for me. Walking inside, it's really nice & spacious - good vibes all around. We were sat down and out came out our sides. We did the premium for $55 because treat yo self, and everything was just delicious. Our waiter was awesome! Very attentive and meticulous with cutting our meats, and even describing the meats in detail. We were very impressed. Would definitely come back again when in the area. read more

The food was SUPER delicious and amazing!! We ordered the thin sliced brisket, thick cut pork belly, and shrimp. It was all simply AMAZING!!! The service was nice once we had the male server since he was MUCH nicer than the the female server, but who cares since the food was delicious! Just be cautious since you MUST keep an eye out on your food because they want YOU to toss & turn your meat and veggies!!! The setting is mid nice and comfortable and relaxing so you will enjoy it here, but the music is kind of loud. I almost prefer Woomiga BBQ over this place, but some may disagree. Who knows...Still, a great place to return to!! read more

Server was attentive and polite. Food was great. Spacious and not too loud. Will come back.

It's been a while since we last dined here, but we remembered how good the quality of meats at this place was! The service was incredible, as our server kept coming back to grill the meats for us and frequently asked if we needed anything else. Everything was good, except we wanted to try something we didn't see at similar BBQ places: Orange Beef Bulgogi, our least favorite of the night among its delicious meat options. Overall, the ambiance was young, with Korean music playing inside, and was dark, perfect for enjoying drinks over BBQ with friends. read more

It's one of my go-to spots for AYCE KBBQ! They do have a couple menu options, but $34/person for all you can eat is reasonable in the area now. Premium Beef Brisket, Top Blade and the Honey-Butter Squid were my favorite. Their portion size was perfect; not too little and not too much. I couldn't get enough of their house salad! The only downside is their steamed egg is served in a small aluminum tin rather than the traditional stone bowl. They are typically busy at night and weekend so it's recommended to come early. The interior is pretty spacious, but it does fill up quickly. Even though they were crowded, the service was still good and their staff were attentive. read more

Service is great, but the seating for a group of 6 split between one grill was a little chaotic, especially when we arrived starving. The price point is fair, and it's cool that seafood gets included. We pretty much tried every protein available, but our favorites included: thin-sliced brisket because it cooks quick and goes great with sauce, thin-sliced pork belly, and spicy pork belly. Our favorite side was the fried rice cake! The corn cheese came in small little foil cups that seemed to be portioned out for individual servings. The industrial decor inside makes it look pretty cool. The lighting is alright, and it's a fun time with a group to enjoy a meal. 1 grill for 6 people was crazy, and we ended up eating more rice than meat due to being absolutely hungry though. read more

We had such a delightful and enjoyable lunch at this adorable place! We brought along some kiddos and were the first ones to arrive. We decided to go for the unlimited menu, which was a great choice. The food was delicious, especially the appetizers and sides, although they had a slightly smaller selection compared to other K-BBQ places. The kids absolutely loved the white rice. What made the experience even better was the peaceful and spacious atmosphere during lunchtime, allowing us to relax and no music. The server came by though towards the end to apologize for there being an issue with the music, but honestly, we found it quite nice without it and even mentioned that fact. However, they eventually managed to get it working and it became a bit too loud towards the end of our meal. Despite that, we still had a wonderful time and will definitely be returning for lunch with the kids as this is a great place to make memories. It was amazing seeing the littles using chopsticks on the rice and trying all the appetizers. read more

We love coming to the Qui for Korean BBQ! We usually get seated pretty quickly and service is friendly. I like how open the restaurant is and all the options they have for food and drink. Some of my favorites for the AYCE are the bulgogi and shrimp. The spicy pork belly is also delicious. I love all the sides and the plum sauce is great. I enjoy getting the corn cheese and steamed egg. We've also had the soju cocktail (which is like a whole pitcher!) and the lychee martini. Fun options and you'll leave STUFFED.

Checked out Qui for lunch and ordered from their lunch menu. You get a choice of meat along with rice or cold noodles. The service was fantastic. They were attentive and always checking to see if you needed anything. The quality and taste of my spicy pork belly was to my satisfaction. I enjoyed the banchan selection that came with our meal. My only complaint is the corn cheese. It's not as good as other places I've been to. It was almost like a corn soup. For water, they give you bottled water which was interesting.
