9292 Korean BBQ

“ Big fan of Kbbq and tried many places before and this sits on the C tier list. While the options are good the meat quality could be a little better, especially my favorite cut, the Pork Jowl which I ordered a la carte. Love the Melon ice cream bar at the end and service is great. I love the idea of the ring of corn cheese/egg/mushrooms & bean sprouts. It's in the heart of Annandale and say this is a great spot for small dinners with friends/ family if you're looking for a easy spot with a little better ambiance than a local small kbbq around Annandale area. ”

“ Bottom line - I'd return and price right on par with there competitors and provide great value. I was so impressed with 9292...it lived up to the hype. It is the best Korean BBQ in NOVA (my opinion and so far) the restaurant was clean, service was friendly, and they make all their own appetizers, sauces, and marinades. Cannot wait to return!! ”

“ AYCE KBBQ here starting at $35 for the base option. There is also an a-la-carte menu available which we didn't try. Highlights: - meat portions are large, I came as a party of 2 and we had a hard time finishing some of the plates - some of the BBQ items, with our faves being pork belly and bulgogi, great flavor and juiciness - banchan appetizers are REALLY good, incl a large salad with a delish dressing, tofu with spicy sauce - cool setup with steamed egg not in its own separate stone bowl, but rather it was a built-in compartment by the BBQ grill so it stayed hot and collected the yummy meat drippings - melon popsicle for everyone at the end of the meal! nice touch Lowlights: - rice costs $1.50 per bowl when it's free at a lot of other KBBQ restaurants - service is inadequate, don't expect the server to do any cooking for you, our server basically only delivered food to us and tweaked our heat level a few times - ventilation is quite bad, the fume hood didn't do a good job of redirecting smoke, my clothes smelled more after eating here compared to other KBBQ places Overall this was a good KBBQ experience, not everything was perfect, but they do a lot of things really well here. I really can't stop thinking about the pork belly and bulgogi here, they were so good. ”

“ Not bad! Finally stopped by for Friday lunch and was not busy. We noticed a lot of seniors since there are good senior discounts for lunch which is very cute. Our server was attentive and made sure to refill our ban chan and sides when we were low (even the corn cheese and mushrooms!). We got the Prime Beef Brisket, Hand Rub Seasoned Steak, and Bean Paste Pork Belly. Loved the steak and pork belly. Those were marinated so well. The brisket was just ok. It was a little tougher, and I noticed there wasn't much fat on the meat to make it more tender and juicy. I loved that the ventilation was well done. There were like vacuums that suck up on the smoke right above the grill. The grill was quite smaller than other places for cooking meat since there were compartments around the perimeter for cooking sides like steamed egg, mushrooms, spicy bean sprouts, and corn cheese. I did not like the egg since it got hard on the edges, but I did enjoy the mushrooms even though they were plain. I'm not sure how I feel about the side compartments on the grill since it doesn't really cook the sides the best like other places. The 3 sauces were delicious! Enjoyed most of the ban chan including some sticky nuts, kimchi (one of the best I've had at kbbq), mac salad (a little bland), radish. There were also sides of tofu, lettuce, and spring onion that were all topped with a spicy red sauce that was a bit sweet? Maybe some fruit jam. They give you complimentary melon ice cream bars at the end!! ”
