Reviews of Bulgogi (Restaurant)

Paul Ford

Food was great. Some of the best Korean BBQ that I've had. However the service was very slow for not being busy. Based on other reviews, I'm going to guess they were short staffed at the time.

Stephi Boergermann

Best Pho I've ever had. The bubba drinks still need a little work though

Brian Hultman

I've been to S.Korea, this is one of my go to places when I have a craving for Korean food.

Juan Lujan

Some of the best bulgogi I've had in a long time.

Tim Robinson

Overlooked, dry, no flavor, none of the Korean side dishes given with the meal, food tasted worse then cheapest Chinese fast food. Never again. Avoid.

Cherita Paul

Got the kimchi soup, and it was very good

Kenneth Collins

Great place to grab some quick Korean food.

J Abbott

Good food at a reasonable price. FYI: Their posted hours say they open at 11 am, but the real time is closer to 11:30/12:00.

Micah Weesner

Excellent Korean fare at a "hole-in-the-wall" type of place. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly. Nothing spectacular as far as the environment is concerned, but you will get quality food at a quality price here. I highly recommend if you're looking for variety in your asian cuisine.

Cheryl Lee

One star for my bulgogi. One star for amazing side dishes. The seafood bibim bap was terrible and flavorless. It was 45 minutes to even get side dishes. It took us an hour to get our order and we knew what we wanted the moment we walked in the door. Call ahead and order your food if you can.

Janet Davis

Food is always excellent, even if a bit on the pricey side. Service is great, too.

john Wallace

Food is always great service is good

Diana yates

My mom is Korean, and wanted to treat her kids & grandkids to a traditional Korean meal at a real Korean restaurant. We were not disappointed!! Everything was so good! We ordered seafood pancakes, bulgogi kimbap, spicy pork, mackerel and of course... bulgogi. Super yummy food! And having lived in Seoul for 13yrs, I can attest to this restaurant's authenticity.

Tony Mendez

Great location and great food.

H Cormier

Great Food! We had three different entrees. Everyone enjoyed their dish. Great variety of kimchee sides. Will definitely visit again.

YarnWitch R

The food is delicious, always, and the staff is very kind.

Nicole Jackson

We got there right when it opened at 11 on a Saturday. We were the only ones there, which was nice. The service was awesome and the food took a while but it was SO worth it. The best Korean food that I've ever had. The fried chicken wings that we had as an appetizer were amazingly crunchy and so well seasoned. The spicy pork bibimbap was out of this world. The rice on the bottom even got crunchy because the bowl was so hot. Yum. My daughter had chicken katsu and they brought so much food out that I thought for sure she'd have to take some home because she's tiny; she took the whole thing out. My husband had the half a chicken and decided he was no quitter so he ate the whole thing. We will be going back over and over. Oh and also the Boba was perfect. It was nice and tender & there were no hard pieces like you get in some places. I'll stop in quite often just to get some boba.

Brennen O'Neill

So good, it’s a little pricey but the portions are huge. I was only in town for a little bit and came twice in one week.

Isabel Hodge

Best Bulgogi I've ever had!

Jay Cho

Fantastic. Better than expected. Much better than any other Japanese-Korean restaurant in Fairfax or Centreville. Wow.

Yolanda Benton

Awesome

Tanner Dns

Friendly staff and amazing Bulgogi with more than enough to fill you up.

Carol G

Food is mediocre but the service(when owner was taking orders) was fantastic. Unfortunately, he's not alway in front of house.

Jose Reyna

Their pho soup is awesome! Great food, good prices with plenty of options and healthy servings. Great place for lunch on a cold day.

Josh H

Delicious food!

Frank Carini Jr.

The staff are always friendly, food is delicious, and the prices reasonable. My friends and I come regularly.

Gregory Daack

It was good.

King Africa

It good.

Kevin Leonard

Best in town! Portions seem large, the kimchi selection is great. This place is a treat.

frank ringquist

Fantastic Korean food, great service.

David Kleber

The most authentic Korean food I've had in the U.S. Staff is extremely nice.

Nick Wintersteiger

The Bulgogi is out of this world!

Jo T

Heavenly bubble tea and large servings....everything was great

Zack Arnie

Bulgogi was sooooo delicious. Hot pork BBQ was very spicy and also delicious. Nice man who works here helped my culturally ignorant friend learn how to eat Bim bi bap(sp) the Korean way. I'd definitely come back.

SGT Ret Arthur Pegues

Little expensive but the is great my go to place when I want Korea food.

Chris McNemar

Place was empty when I visited at dinner time. Food was so-so, and prices were on the high side.

juli mine

Don't mind the shabby chic, customer service and food itself was amazing. Bulgogi, spicy BBQ pork, perfect sticky rice, and cucumber Kimchi. Very nice people and serious comfort food. Definitely a new favorite for me on Stafford.

Devin

Omg just amazing!!

James Mallory

Pretty good variety of Korean dishes and the food is tasty and authentic. They also serve a number of side dishes with the meal. I normally eat the soon-dubu chigae, but my wife says it's loaded with msg. There aren't many options for Korean food in the Stafford area, so Bulgogi will satisfy if you need Korean food and don't want to drive to Annandale or Chantilly.

Russ Patishnock

Love going there with the family.

Heather Firth

Great food and service! Always yummy!

Darren Vardon

I was really impressed with this place, food was great and portion was big enough for two meals. Will definitely go again.

Mitch Smoot

Food is AMAZING! Only docked 1 star for the water / soda glasses. You can drink soda cold right out of can, but glasses seem to have a soap film on them. Drinks taste wierd every time I pour them in. My family doesn't seem to mind, so maybe it is just my sensitive taste. I just drink straight from the can now and continue to come back to get my korean food fix ;)

David Silver

Love the Bulgogi servings and kimchi! You don't cook it at the table your self, they cook it in back but it is still very Good.

C. L.

Favorite weekend spot for my daughter and me. I can't cook Korean food like my mother, who lives in another state. The food is delicious! My mom always tells us not to eat other people's kimchee, but the kimche here is safe. :)

Charles Pandora

Great Food!

Fran Johnson

The food is always good, always fresh, always the same. Very comforting knowing what to expect.

Bryan Cornell

Great food and sizeable portions. Come to experience something new or something familiar.

Todd and Alishia Knop

Pretty good food. Not fancy and the food is good

michael steckler

There were lots of side dishes. The BBQ was really spicy.

Clay Calvert

When another Korean restaurant closed in Fredericksburg I was disappointed, but the meal I got at Bulgogi in north Stafford is nearly identical in taste, side dishes and even presentation as the former Central Park location. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Diane Madden

Excellent pho and bi bim bop and now they have Jap chae

Callie Heddings

I decided to bring my mother and best friend here randomly one day and was not let down! The food was VERY fresh and I was impressed with the place. The minute you walk in the door the smell is WONDERFUL. It is a nice casual hole-in-the-wall type resturaunt and gives the vibes of a true Korean resturaunt. The wait time for our food was rather long (25-30 min) but that was because there were only 2 cooks and one server for a full store. The server handled everything very well and the taste of the food definitely made up for any slack. The appetizers were HUGE and enough to fill 3 people up with just one kimchi pancake. I would definitely recommend the Bulgolgi (obviously) and the spicy chicken!

George Yuschak

Really good, family owned, ambiance not important

Javin Bond

Fantastic food, and excellent service! Very strongly recommended. I'd suggest ordering the pork belly and asking them to add cheese! It's great! But I've yet to find anything on their menu that wasn't awesome.

Braulio Medina

Awesome food!

e reynolds

Excellent place to buy Korean when you can't make it to Annandale, VA. Serves things that aren't typically found at a Korean restaurant like: pho, udon, and a few others. Bubble Tea is on the menu though :). Much more peaceful setting than a typical Korean BBQ spot but it is Stafford, VA.

Cameron Anderson

Haven't gotten too many items here yet but the bulgogi is excellent, and the banchan are spot on.

Laura Sollars

Omg. I spent 24$ for a lame kim-chee rice and Kim-Chee fried rice. It was so bad. I work hard for my money. These perspectives on their side take note: I hated it and you don’t care . Ok. It is what it is.

Mary Ella Jourdak

Great food for a tiny little price. Huge portions, too!

Alicia Burris

Best korean bbq ever

jay Obelee

Terrific Bulgogi reminded me of home cooking. And came out quick and hot great

Ronald Pigeon

Great food

me jones

Love this place...it's a hidden gem♥️..not fancy inside.. Don't let this deter you though. My favorite is the spicy pork bulgogi... beware it is very spicy! Plan to spend sometime there... You won't be in and out quickly but it's worth your time for sure!

Kira Hendrickson

Absolutely wonderful food! Will be coming back for sure.

Abriel Maldonado

Amazing food and helpful staff. The store is nice and clean and the BBQ is sooo good!

Greer Keith

Awesome food. Best Korean I've had since moving from Hawaii.

Amir Habibzadeh

Great place for Korean BBQ, been here many times and the food always tastes great and is good quality.

Robyn Stanford

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

Robert Powell

Twice I went here, and twice the place was closed despite posted hours stating they open Monday through Friday at 11 AM. The first time was a Monday; place was completely. Looking in I could see no signs of anyone present. Napkins still left on tables and all. The second time, the lights were at least on, but door stayed locked. Calling doesn't help because they don't answer the phone. Don't waste time going here unless you know for sure they are open. Their posted hours don't mean anything.

Courtney DeBoise

This place has the worst service the little man who is the waiter is ride and slow the bulgogi is awesome but service is very slow and there is only one waiter he is awful don't go here if you are in a hurry or want great service.

Becky Troster

It's the best Korean food close by.

Anthony Pesce

A big selection and everything be bought was good

Aaron Krause

The spicy bbq pork was great and the variety of sides was fantastic.

Chris Hammerle

Fantastic! Very authentic

April Laing

Food is ok. I ordered the pork katsu and the saue tasted like it was froma jar. I've never seen authentic Korean food served with crinkle fries from a bag. If you want true authentic Korean food you need to go to the Kimchi house in Alexandria.

Jill Balbiran

The portions are big, food is always served hot, and service is great. A great hole in the wall!

Ng Ryu

Best place to eat korean food with the best service I ever received. 10/10 would go again.

Chris Lemmert

Food is really good. The service and atmosphere isn't much to brag about though. Took about 15 minutes just to get our order placed.

hannah brobbey

Food was great. Waitress was very rude

Tim Allen

really good but slow

Lupe O'Neill

Outstanding!

George Wills Jr

Good bulbogi, good service.

steven mitchell

Everything was delicious. Especially the Korean pancakes!

Xiomara Martinez

This was my first time trying out korean food out towards this way. I ordered a mango bubble tea which was really good and also the bulgogi which was ok I've had better. Just like everyone's experience don't expect high end service here.

Steven O'Dwyer

The food is made to order, comes out on a hot skillet, and is full of great flavor. Highly recommended!

Deedee

Exceptional as always!

Dan G

I get the bulgogi bibim bop. Always fresh, fast and tasty!

Lester Berry

No worth the cost

Chris Partaka

Spicy kimchi pork...Amazing! Polish that off with a bottle of Cass...Heaven.

Robert Rauch

Amazing! Spicy, Cheese Bulgogi!

pan demix

Awesome food great service! The bulgogi was def a must try

Jdz Random thoughts

Food is good but gotta question the lack of personal on a friday night only one person serving multiple tables

Joshua Righi

A hidden gem in Stafford. If you enjoy Korean food this place is for you.

Jade Graue

Decent korean food when you're in Stafford since it's the only korean restaurant there.

Miguel Ayala

Amazing place that I would recommend I'd say it would be a good place for a couple but if you take your family it would be a little expensive, the food is excellent and the service is fast only downside that I encounter was that there was only 1 waiter and he was taking care of all 6 people that were eating there. But beside that I'd say I would definitely go there, this is my second time eating there and it was amazing I'd recommend anybody that is looking for a good Korean BBQ.

Todd Bascom

The food is great! It's almost like being back in Korea!

Michael Tebeau

Great food love the cheese ramen and the pork belly is wonderful.

Robert Grimes

Top notch Excellent food with great service. Portions are huge, very well seasoned and served with traditional sides. The interior is plain and can be loud during peak hours, but it adds to the character.

Todd Rowan

Yummy food. Low key atmosphere. The kimchee is nice and spicy.

steve powers

Average.

Mau-En Lee

Amazing Korean restaurant.

blue footsteps

Amazing food, vegetarian options.

Debbie Adams

Their Bulgogi - plain and simple. Great food, good prices and so filling on a cold winter day. Decorate is 2 stars at best, but the food is great and I have to make the drive every few months just to satisfy my craving.

Elvis Barksdale

Delicious and friendly place

Aaron Tummons

I've lived in Korea, and I've had Korean food and restaurants in America since then. This place is the best BY FAR. The entree came to my table boiling and was accompanied by a host of traditional Korean sides. I could have sworn I was back in the Orient! Fantastic!!

Kristen Hodge

Its my family's favorite Korean restaurant! Great prices, some pan Asian options. I recommend the Bulgolgi and the seafood pancake!

Jojo

-5, if I could, HORRIBLE!, hot rice seafood pod, was dry, flavorless, seafood so overcooked it was impossible to chew it, dog did not want it. This is supposed to be Korean, they gave us bread & butter pickles with red pepper on it, instead of kimchi! Do not waste your money on this GARBAGE!

Hector Del Curto

Great food! It takes a while but totally worth it. If you like Korean food made by Koreans and generous plates, this is your next stop.

Phillip Owens

Sat down for 20 minutes and did not even get asked what we wanted to drink! The waiter made eye contact with me and continued to clean tables.

ChaeWhat

Been here many times... the owner is hands on...literally! He needs a pair of roller skates. Food is always awesome... Don't mind the decor... it's a bit homey but the food is where its at... One word...YUM YUM YUMMY! This is not fast food... its a made to order joint.

Melissa Santoro

Great food and friendly servers!

jen w

This place has excellent food. Was little pricy tho I felt but omg so worth it for the bulgogi alone. We ate in was nothing fancy about the seating but the food so yummy would recommend if you find yourself in the area to drop by and try it

Brian H

Had the spicy pork bimimbap it was delicious

Phil Morgan

Great service and great food. Can't wait to try more dishes (we split bul go gi and spicy pork BBQ)

Rick Day

Fantastic service with bells on.

Courtney Flanagan

I love this place, this is the best KBBQ in the area. I like it more than some of the places in Annandale. The owner is really friendly and always knows what I want. I love taking my friends and family here they love the Kimchi Pancakes. My favorite is the spicy baby octopus and their fried squid legs are also great! The sides are also delicious and compliment the spicy meals very well.

Heather Dawson

Dinner was delicious. I enjoyed it next door at Angel Spa. What a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Caleb Smith

I love it! Great food at reasonable prices, I especially love the bibimbap!

Nick Iverson

Best. Korean. In. Stafford. Hands down.

Anonymous Person

I haven't eaten everything on the menu but the only thing I can say that was good was the Bulgogi. A lot of the food on the menu which aren't exactly traditional Korean, but whatevers, food is food.

Nikki Yracheta

Always up for some yummy Korean food. My brother recommended this spot and the hubby and I enjoyed it. The portions were a good size. The price was a little higher then I thought they would be but I'm sure getting ingredients isn't as easy as some other places.

Cooler Cooler

Waist of time and money better off staying home and firing up the grill

Tim Waughtel

Not one of my favorite Korean restaurants, but the service was good and the food was tasty.

Maegan Bos

Surprisingly good food.

Alyssa Dunn

SOOOO GOOD!!!!!!!!!! It’s kind of a hole in the wall, and I won’t lie it looks just a liiiiiittle sketchy on the outside and inside, but the food!!!!!!!!! It was AMAZING. Will definitely be back for more!

Andrea Astudillo

Great service, but they do not have basil in their Pho. I like better Saigon Pho from Fredericksburg, in my opinion it's more authentic vietnamese food.

David Gross

The Bibim Bab with spicy pork was excellent, and so was the Kim Bab roll.

Kevin Moss

Spicy bulgogi is really good and is more than enough for one person. Wouldn't want it any spicier than it currently is, so if you don't like spicy I would recommend regular bulgogi. Only complaint is I wish it came with cabbage kimchi instead of cucumber kimchi.

Sotiris Baxevanis

Excellent food at low prices, the best value korean barbeque in the Washington area

Travis Goodman

I love Korean food.

Tohn T

The Korean food here is good. All the dishes are served with multiple small vegetable pickle dishes on the side. The pho is ok. Service is decent, it's one guy but he gets the job done for the week day lunch rush.

brad sweeney

I got the beef, it was excellent. The price is not cheap but the food is worth it. I would rather pay a bit extra and have this kind of quality.

Kenneth Schultze

Owner is great! Chease bulgogi is the dish .

Jessica Singhoffer

Loved the food and quick service. We have been talking about how much we crave our dinner. Cannot wait to eat here again. Cheese Beef Bulgogi and Spicy Ramen. Amazing food.

Veronica Applebee

Very tasty food. Had the Bulgogi and it was tasty. Missed Korean food from time spent there. The food was absolutely delicious. The place is what i would call a hole in the walll because it is small and totally perfect atmosphere. Loved it.

Yabbo

Great food. Lots of choices. Love the bulgolgi fried rice.

Cat Felix

My go to place for Korean food! Check out their lunch specials! Yummy!

Dustin Wen

Great quality, slow service

Darlene Romeo

The food was good but the service was not

Justin H

Great food at a very reasonable price, and always fresh.

Tim Walker

I had the seafood hot pot. It was fresh and hot, with enough cabbage and broccoli to count as a vegetable, and in a big enough portion that I didn't eat it all. The price was fair, wish there were more beer choices. I'll come back, even if they don't improve the beer menu :)

Keiera Harris

Went for the first time tonight . Delicious bulgogi bi Bim bap

Sie-Mun Lo

Ordered veggie bibimbap. Vegetables were raw.

endia

absolutely astonishing dishes as well as customer service!

Mara Caprile

The soups are just amazing! Their bbq is clearly made with technique, flavor and caress, and to speak of their bubble tea it is all out outrageous!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lyle Stanford

The Galbee Bibim Bap and shrimp pho were great!

Randy Pargman

Bi Bim Bap with seafood was delicious, but not spicy at all. I wish that they also had a spicy chicken Bi Bim Bap option.

Stuart Ellis

Great portions and delicious food. Definitely going back.

Wendy Lin

Nice food.

Scott Christie

Food was authentic, hot, and plentiful

Jayla Siler

I love KBBQ so my boyfriend took me here on one of our days out absolutely wonderful his food was great and the bubble tea was wonderful! I got the spicy pulled pork BEWARE OF THE SPICE! Would definitely go again.

Teaniah Roberts

It would be better if they ever opened on time.

Chuni Swint

Nice place. Food was good.

Thomas Reynolds

The food is reasonably priced and the portions are large compared to most other Korean restaurants in this area. The food tasted great!

Sheena ___

Love the Seafood pancake . Yum

jim frankel

Unbelievable!! Best food if you really have an authentic tongue!! Don't let the looks inside for you! The food is over the top!! Everything on the menu is authentica better than my Moms but don't tell her that!!! The folks are very friendly and quick considering for such a delicious meal!

Chris Rozsypal

Stopped here for lunch. Had a bulgogi stone pot. Enjoyed it. I will definitely be back again.
