Honest Grill

Clearly the place to ball out and dress up. The service is fine and explanations of how different this is from regular, casual KBBQ were nicely done. Personally, this was a one and done experience for me, but it's worth a try just to see the difference. Opting for the signature beef guide to try the brisket, skirt, short rib, and marinated rib finger, the flavors were great. Nothing exceptional, but it was just really delicious KBBQ. The kimchi complemented the meal perfectly. The other bacchan were good. I think I simply associate dry aged steaks as an American style of cooking, so it's just a personal preference for me. I guess the pricing matches the quality, but I just prefer a simple KBBQ style instead of an upscale thing. It was a fun experience.

We visited this Korean BBQ spot to celebrate my brother's birthday with the family, and it was a great experience, especially since their lamb, beef, and chicken are halal, which is important to my family. This was our first time at a Korean BBQ, and the upscale atmosphere made it even better. The servers were very helpful with the cooking, which added to the experience. The side dishes were delicious, and the meats were of excellent quality, all of them tasted amazing. The price did seem a bit high, but that might just be the standard for Korean BBQ. Regardless, it was a fun and memorable experience. The place was very clean, and the servers were friendly and knowledgeable, answering all our questions. Highly recommend if you're looking for a unique and enjoyable dining experience!

Honest Grill serves high quality BBQ in a modern, black, sleek interior. Bonus - all of their tables are booths.They had a limited selection of banchan compared to other places, but their meats were the highlight. Service was very attentive and cooked our meat well! It's pretty pricey here for KBBQ but well worth especially for special occasions (or if you just have money like that).

If you are seeking traditional Korean bbq, do not come here. I am Korean and saw that this had good reviews so my sisters and I came here on Saturday. Was so disappointed. The waitress was not friendly, although she seemed more agreeable later. They also add automatic 20% gratuity so if service was bad you would still have to give the waiter 20%. The meat quality was good, I have to admit but that's the only good thing about this place.

Came here on a Sunday after noon. This place is located in the middle of an outdoor strip mall so there's lots of parking to go around.I was surprised to find out that this was more of a fine dining restaurant than your topical bbq joint. That being said with the extra service came with a higher price tag, which I didn't mind at all because the quality of the food here was good and the service was on point. I really enjoyed how the waiter would come by often as check up on us, and they cut and cook your meat for you here.I really enjoyed the raw beef tar tar, and the scallops which were nice and big. They also have aged beef here which is not common at lower bbq joints which I enjoyed.I think if you're looking for a date night this would be a nice place to go, as it wasn't too loud and I didn't see any kids around.

Unplanned trip to this spot for kbbq for my partner's birthday as the previous spot we went to is fully reserved and we were planning to do walk in. This is slightly far out from DC metropolitan area but well worth the drive out here for premium cuts of meat that's delicious and served with a wide array of banchan. We got the honest guide - 3 sets of pork and 3 sets of beef for a party of 6, and we were stuffed to the brim. There is even someone cooking for you and the ventilators at the side help to shade you from getting the oil and grease. This is the place to go to if you want kbbq but a more bougie version.

Decided to try this place out again with my partner and my opinion has changed from the first time I went. My partner and I decided to get the pork set and everything was great! My top favorite from the set was definitely the jowl and the pork neck! I also liked how they provided salt only to really let the meat shine. We also shared the corn cheese and soybean stew. I wished the soybean stew had more toppings inside. Flavor wise it was good but majority of the soup was the broth and needed more veggies and tofu. The yukuoe here was a good balance of sweet and savory.We went on a wednesday night and it wasnt too busy. Service was attentive when needed.

The food was great but the service was top tier. Anthony N took great care of us and we are def coming back !

Maybe we came on an off day but this kbbq was very disappointing. Firstly our grill was cold the entire time. The server had a hard time lighting the grill which was a bad sign. The fire never got hot enough and all the meat cooked super slowly. Secondly, the server seemed inexperienced in kbbq cooking. She looked confused trying to cook our meal. Overall, the quality of meat was good but for this price point, I was expecting a better experience. I have several spots in mind I would choose over this. Not sure I'll be coming back here unless someone makes me. Not impressive at all.

An honest review for a Honest Grill serving honestly highly quality meats! Honest Grill differs from most Korean BBQ restaurants in the area by providing an elevated kbbq experience through a menu providing plenty of combination sets or a la carte options. We ordered the premium beef guide for 4 people which 3 hungry guys were able to finish and be entirely stuffed. The guide included Dry Aged Ribeye, Ribeye Cap, Short Rib, Marinated Beef Galbi, vegetables, soybean soup, steam egg, and a variety of fresh banchan. The sides were decent but what really shined was the beef. My favorite cuts by far were the dry aged ribeye and short rib. It was my first time trying dry aged steak and I highly recommend it if you haven't! The dry aging process really does cultivate a unique taste, making the flavors of the meat far more concentrated, along with tenderizing the meat. Still nowhere near Wagyu but a solid second. Service was attentive and the waiter would come by often to refill drinks and banchan but also assist in cooking/cutting the meat. Typically we like to cook our own meat but with the more expensive cuts we let the waiter cook and they came out perfect. The ambiance is great for a celebratory dinner with friends and family or a date night! Would recommend the place for the dry aged meats alone.
