“ Love this place. It's delicious and such a good value. Meat portions aren't huge, but they don't overprice you. It's the only kbbq place I've ever been to (including in NY and CA) where you don't have to break the bank to order more than two meats. And the portions are just perfect. It's filling, but you're not struggling to finish, which is rare when doing kbbq for just two people. I wish I could keep this place a secret, as it's already so busy! There's always a wait, so be sure to plan ahead and make reservations, or go close to closing time. ”

“ We went here for the first time tonight and loved it. 4 of us split the combo #2-brisket, pork belly, bulgogi and galbi, plus all the sides and trimmings. It was all delicious, the galbi was my favorite, and the portions were perfect for 4. Service was very good as well. Will definitely come back! ”

“ We made reservations in advance which is the ideal choice when wanting to eat here. This is my first time with Korean BBQ so I did not know what to expect. Our server I believe his name was Danny? Was very friendly and polite. Upon sitting at the table, an array of sides are laid out around the grill including pickled raddish, lemongrass salad, potato, and kimchi. I did my best to try all of them, except for the kimchi. We ordered a variety of meats and accompanying sides including the brisket, short rib, and ribeye steak. While all the meats were thinly sliced, the short ribs had more fat on it than I would've preferred. I enjoyed the brisket the most. For the sides we ordered a salad and I really enjoyed the dressing, cheesy corn (which is exactly what it sounds like), and steamed egg. We also ordered Korean beer with a shot of yogurt flavored Korean saki. I enjoyed the beer but found the saki too sweet for my tastebuds when combined with the beer. The inside is dark and dimly lit. They have a television inside and a little nook with seating for a waiting area. ”

“ We had an amazing time! The food was fantastic and the service amazing! There were 5 of us, so we decided to order Combo #2 which had great variety to meet everyone's interest. And it was a hit! Our favorites were the Bulgogi and Galbi. And our waiter made sure that all meats were cooked just right! Warning! You need to make a reservation well in advance ... but it's worth it. ”

“ Meokja Meokja has been open since 2018. It is located on Lee highway near the fairfax circle shopping center. They have pretty much claimed the number one spot for KBBQ in NOVA for some time now. The quality of the meats, service, vibe are all factors that make this place stand out. I recommend coming here right at open so that you do not have to wait 1-2 hours. There is always a line here before it opens. I also recommend ordering individual meats rather than ordering the combo option. I think you can save more this way. The service varies based on your server. Sometimes you will get someone that is attentive and good at grilling the meat or sometimes you will get someone who isn't attentive and bad at grilling. The egg, corn cheese, soup are all included so don't order them. On average it is about $40-50 per person here if you want to eat well. It is worth spending this amount in my opinion. Their cold noodles are also pretty good. The spicy version might seem spicy, but I think their sauce has a lot of sugar. ”
