The QUI Korean BBQ & BAR

Qui Korean BBQ is our go-to spot for amazing KBBQ, and they never disappoint! The service and music are always on point, making for a great dining experience every time.This time, we came for Valentine's Day, and the decorations were stunning--they really went all out to make it feel festive. We were also pleasantly surprised by the new side dishes added to the AYCE menu. The chicken karaage was absolutely delicious--crispy, flavorful, and a must-try!Another unexpected treat was seeing chapaghetti on the menu. I had to order some, and it immediately took me back to the nostalgic days of eating it at PC bangs--such a nice touch! As always, we loaded up on our favorites: honey butter squid, corn cheese, brisket, shrimp, and all the fixings.Our server, Uyen, was top-notch and made the evening even more enjoyable. Even with the Valentine's Day crowd, she was super attentive, friendly, and never made us feel rushed.This place just keeps getting better every time we visit! The food, service, and atmosphere make Qui Korean BBQ a must-visit spot. Can't wait for our next meal here!Highly recommend!

This was my first time dining at the Fairfax location and I have decided that this location is superior than the Chantilly one. First, the service here was great. From the moment I walked in; I was greeted warmly by the staff. And my waiter was very attentive and took care of my party very well throughout the night. His attention and care in grilling the meats must be stated as well. He was wonderful.The meat quality tasted a lot better here too. You get bigger portions of the meats and every selection was seasoned well. Squid was also marinated in a yummy butter sauce and tender in texture. Not too chewy at all.The ambiance here is less loud and space feels more open too. The only negative is the parking. Depending on the time you come; parking can be daunting.

FOODQui is my go-to KBBQ spot in the DMV. I typically frequent their Chantilly location, so this was my first time visiting their Fairfax one. We had their regular AYCE option ($38/person + tax), and largely had their spicy octopus, squid, brisket, and bulgogi. The octopus and squid were delicious-- soft and not too chewy-- and complemented the butter wonderfully. Nevertheless, the bulgogi took the cake. It was marinated to perfection-- not too sweet, rich in umami, and incredibly tender.DRINKSThey have various alcoholic drinks and soft drinks available for purchase.SERVICEThe staff was incredibly kind and friendly!AMBIANCEThere is spacious seating inside the restaurant, and especially during lunchtime, it doesn't get too loud or overwhelming.PARKINGAmple parking is available in the plaza lot.

I got roped into spending Thanksgiving 2024 in Northern Virginia. I wasn't up for the usual turkey dinner so I abandon my family and friends to give this place a shot. It did not disappoint! The service was great, the food was on point and I like the interior vibe. My waiter was the server and the cook. He executed both skill sets flawlessly and made crucial recommendations to better enhance my dinning experience. I highly recommend this restaurant if you're in the area!!! I also tip my hat to the staff!!

The Qui has been one of my go to in the Chantilly area since they opened. The space is expansive and feel like I have enough room to move around without bumping into the next table. The meat selection is also pretty good for AYCE and I believe they have two options (A&B). The servers are relatively attentive and will cook the meats for you if you want. They also come by often to make sure you don't need banchan refills or more meats.My only criticism is the soup and lettuce wraps being extra charge each. I feel like each AYCE I've been to provide the soybean soup complimentary with the steamed egg and lettuce is by request. I believe adding the two was $8 more.

I've been here a few times and foreboding on the time it can be totally empty or so packed 6&6 can't find parking. The service can be great when it's not busy but pretty horrible when it is busy. Is it worth it? It's not bad but I feel like it's the spirit airlines of AYcE. What do I mean? Well, at first it seems great. But then you realize there's a surcharge to everything. Better meat than bulgoli? Extra 15$. Soup? Extra $3. Lettuce? $5. Just like spirit, it is what you make of it. You probably will get to your destination. You will have something to eat. Was it a great experience. Not really. The flavors are bland. The quality isn't great. You're instantly filled with regret you didn't pay a little extra upfront for a better experience. The one thing they have that isn't spirit is the 9" minute time limit. The servers will definitely be on time with that.

Super tasty food and wonderful service. If you don't want the all you can eat option, they have great combo dinners for 2 or 4 people and it's amazing! They also have al a carte options or entrees. Also, if you have kids, get the fried beef and pork dunplings. We will be back again!

Great kbbq spot. Our waitress Rachel was great and super helpful, and she recommended some really good side dishes. Music wasn't too loud, the restaurant wasn't particularly smoky, and the food was pretty good. I'd go back. I do wish they had japchae though.

**3.5** This was my first time at this location, and the quality wasn't as good as I remember the Chantilly one to be. Or maybe their meat quality has gone down overall. The thin brisket was quite dry and the thin pork belly had too much fat on it. Although, it did crisp up really well, like bacon. The honey butter squid needed a bit more flavor. I did like the bulgogi - it was flavorful and tender. The banchans were tasty, and I really liked their kimchi and corn cheese. Their fried rice cakes were great, but some pieces were a tad undercooked. The salad had a delicious dressing. I loved all the dipping sauces, as well.I liked the service - our server was efficient and cooked for us pretty much the entire time. Although, she set the grill temp a bit too high, and so the oils would splash up at me at times, which wasn't fun. The ambiance of the restaurant was trendy and moody with an industrial feel. Overall, not a terrible choice for kbbq, but not my favorite, and I won't be returning.

This place was very good. Great place to hang out with my son and have a lunch date. Ambiance - This location is pretty new so everything was still clean and shiny. I liked how they had the snacks on display. Not sure if you can purchase them or not, and I forgot to ask. Food/Drinks - Amazing! I find it interesting how some Korean BBQ spots cook for you while others allow you to do the cooking. Here they cook for you. Service - Friendly. I like how we were asked if we wanted to take our time or if we wanted everything to come out quickly. Overall, great place. If I had to complain about anything, it would be about the cheese corn. I would rather have it baked than put on the grill because the cheese ends up burning on the bottom. Otherwise, really good!!
