This is one of our FAVORITE places and one of the best Korean BBQ joints hands down. The servers are always so nice. Tonight we brought our 11 month old. We wanted some time together and didn't have anyone to care for our son but they were super accommodating. Shout out to Daniel for being so attentive. He was so so nice and we felt comfortable. The food was fantastic (the Hawaiian bulgogi is amazing). Highly recommend this place!

Meat project probably falls in my top 5 for kbbq in the area. They have a pretty decent selection but it is pretty pork heavy. The service is always great anytime I go and they make sure to keep the meats coming until satisfied. They also stay open pretty late so it's a great spot to visit after happy hour or late night drinks.

This was one of my best value kbbq experiences! Other kbbq spots don't allow refills on the soybean soup side but we got multiples for the table and it was a wonderful addition to our meal. The service was kind and attentive, even though it seemed like the waiters had a lot of tables to look out for. I used the yelp waitlist feature and it was very helpful because our name was called promptly after arrival. I think the entryway could be better designed because it can get crowded and it is hard to navigate in and out the doors. I think the seafood options are good here, I just wish there were more non-spicy options, but the shrimp was great.

If you're searching for an authentic Korean BBQ experience look no further. The menu features a wide selection of marinated meats that are grilled to perfection right at your table. We started with the Bulgogi (marinated beef) its thinly sliced meat was infused with a delightful blend of garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil that left us craving more. Equally impressive were the side dishes, which offered a wonderful assortment of pickled vegetables, seasoned greens, and spicy dishes that complemented the main offerings beautifully. The Kimchi had the perfect balance of tang and crunch, and the Japchae (stir-fried glass noodles) was an ideal accompaniment, showcasing a fascinating texture and flavor profile. We also tried the Samgyeopsal (pork belly) which was grilled to perfection. And did I mention this place is all you can eat!!!

Best Korean BBQ in the area, hands down. We have been to most of the competitors in the area and no one has meat this well marinated and of this quality. So was good for a while, but they keep changing recipes and the flavor is missing. K spot doesn't come close to this in quality. This is flavor! The galbi blew me away, I didn't know it could taste that good. The sides were not as good as So, so there is room for improvement. I did however love the onion salad. But with such good meat it wasn't as big a deal because I didn't need to add flavor. And the service was fantastic. Our waiter did what we asked, we wanted smaller portions because we were just two and we wanted to try lots of things. I find that a lot of places, including So, portion out food in portions too big for just two people who don't eat like hogs. Really in a restaurant's interest to give smaller portions, but some don't. We will be back to make sure it wasn't a Fluke like K spot. But thank you for an enjoyable evening!

I'm back to eating at restaurants! My 2 week craving for dine-in eateries led me to Asian cuisine! First stop: meat heaven Meat Project is a place we used to frequent but since they opened a couple of Loudoun BBQ we have missed Meat Project. Coming on a Friday afternoon after the lunch crowd was the best decision. No wait, easy parking and excellent service. The AYCE is $35 and gives lots of options including several beef options (other AYCE places do not give many beef options. We rarely chose chicken or pork so beef and seafood is our go-to and this place delivered. I love that they ask you what sides we wanted. Since we don't eat the soup or the egg, we didn't waste. The corn cheese and the fresh salad is our fave. The mini apps had all my favorites and they offered multiple seconds. The steak, brisket and bulgogi were very good. The shrimp is deveined and headless. My only complaint is that I was not a fan of the dipping sauce. They were like hot sauces and I missed the salt/pepper sesame oil. Service was really good. Our server knew not to interior me as I prefer to cook and cut my own meat. Kudos to their attentiveness. Love having the place almost to ourselves.

One of my favorite KBBQ places to eat in the DMV. You can do no wrong with Meat Project. For $30 a person, you order options of pork, beef, chicken, seafood, and even sides ! My friend and I stopped for dinner after a convention and it was definitely worth the drive honestly. When we sat down after a short wait, we were greeted at the table with banchan and water already to go. Our waiter was very nice and asked us for our three meats/two sides. Normally I opt for the brisket, thinly sliced pork belly, and the spicy bulgogi. I honestly feel like those are pretty common at any KBBQ you go to and is a good test to see if the food is really good. For the banchan, you get kimchi, potato salad, bean sprouts, and some japchae. I think you get a small amount because not many people go for it and just dig straight into the cooked meat which makes sense. But it's there if you want more. My favorite sides here are the steamed egg and the corn cheese. Steamed Egg, an absolute classic. I do not walk away from a KBBQ place without eating 1 or 2 of these. The corn cheese, while not really super cheesy, it's delicious and for a small amount I have to order 1-2 times as well. I also do like the soybean soup but I don't think it's spicy at all. Other places give you the same soup with a stronger kick for spice. My favorite meats to get are Thinly Sliced Pork Belly, Brisket, Dry-Aged Ribeye Steak, Gopchang, Galbi, Red Wine Pork Belly, and Spicy Chicken. I would definitely come here when it's not on a weekend night, then your experience might vary. I personally think the wait is always worth it despite how packed it is. Expect lots of sounds everywhere, KBBQ is just a great place to socialize and eat meat. If you just want a more intimidate experience, go in the afternoon or so in my opinion. Will I come back? Of course! I love this KBBQ place and SO KBBQ! They are my go to AYCE KBBQ options in Centerville.
