My first visit to Makchang Dodook K-BBQ in Springfield was incredible! We arrived late for dinner and still received amazing service. The meats especially the thin pork belly, marinated chicken, and fresh seafood were high-quality and tasted fantastic. Even late at night, the staff was attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly. The restaurant was also very clean. If you’re looking for fresh, delicious AYCE K-BBQ with great service, this place is a must-try!

This was our first visit to Makchang, and I have to say, the customer service truly touched our hearts. During lunch, we had a wonderful conversation with Ronald from LA. He was incredibly warm and welcoming, ensuring everything was perfect for us. As for the food, having tried many KBBQ places in the area, I can honestly say this one holds a special place for both me and my partner. We felt genuinely cared for and will absolutely be returning.

Awesome food and great people! Daniel, Da-min, Kin, and manager Chad were fantastic, they definitely made my birthday dinner a great experience. Food was delicious! Ordered regular AYCE and added premium portion and it was definitely premium. You could see the marbling on the LA Galbi ribs, fantastic! Everyone in my group said they will come again and so will my wife and I. Parking is great, so no worries there.

This Korean BBQ restaurant in Brookfield Plaza, Springfield, is a must-visit for fans of all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ, especially pork intestine, which this restaurant is known for. We chose the all-you-can-eat lunch special, with a fantastic selection of meats including pork, beef, chicken, pork intestine, and generous and delicious side dishes. It's undoubtedly one of the best all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ spots in northern Virginia, showcasing high-quality meat and exceptional service. The ambiance is pristine and well-organized, and we were pleasantly surprised to leave without smelling like BBQ thanks to the strong air suction. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an unforgettable Korean BBQ experience with endless choices and outstanding flavors!

I want to start by saying the service was absolutely amazing and that Chad E was a really great server and answered all my questions l, made sure our drinks were full and on top of making sure we had plenty of food. I would highly recommend him as your waiter. We got the Ultimate AYCE and from my understanding everything is fresh and the prime meats are cut to order. They gave us a very big ribeye steak, the beef ribs and galbi were great too. You could just tell the quality of the meat was better here. The marinade is a bit on the sweeter side
