Breakers BBQ - Fairfax, VA

Kimchi and service are great. But they really need to improve their three basic sauces which are tasteless. I would give them 5 stars if they have garlic or spicy sauce to go with the meat.
Alexia T.8/18/2019Delicious! The decor is very classy (options for table seating or bar), clean, well staffed, and a great environment. The food was delicious, and so much of it!

I'm glad we finally walk into this place the food was tasty, the price it was affordable. I have nothing else to say as I left so full that I can't even eat anymore. Also left with some delicious left overs! Can't wait to go back!

Quality and variety of meats are great, prices are good, service is fantastic, and the restaurant is pretty and clean. Typically, at AYCE places we feel rushed to order or quickly finish your food and leave. But the service today was great. Our server got us what wanted and was quick and courteous. I was also glad that the restaurant wasn't blaring loud music so we could have table conversations. When we left, staff and management lined up and kindly bid us adieu! read less

This is a cute place, the food is good. The service is not the best but probably because they are busy.

We did not order the all you can eat, but they comped some of the extra side dishes anyways. Back to five stars and looking forward to going back. Well, if to use to be great. Now, prices have gone up and service quality has gone down. It seems management is trying to get more with less staff and higher prices. We came here a few months back and things were not as good, so this was our let's give it one more try trip. We were disappointed. Cold soup. Burnt food. Slow service.Stay away. read less

The best Korean BBQ I have in DMV area. Highly recommend it to meat lovers! Love their finger rubs and wine pork belly!

I like the interior compared to other kbbq. It's a bit more elegant than other kbbqs in the area and its LIGHT and the music is just the right volume. So, I don't have to squint to see the person ahead of me. The place is HUGE...so it also has a bit of an industrious feel. They also seemed to have staff belongings on the last row of seats...near the bathroom, so that was a little unprofessional IMO. Food 3/5: The food was alright...the AYCE menu compares somewhat to other kbbq places but it is a bit more pricier. The average is about $25 , but breakers option A is $28.99 for weekend lunch.The fried dumpling come out in servings of 2, and they are cold. So, we put them on the grill to warm them up.Service 5/5: Here is what really awed me. I was pleasantly surprised at the great service by our waiter (youngish guy with glasses- 7/13 @ 1:30ish). He was GREAT! I always dread goi g to korean restaurants in the area bc of the mediocre to awful service, but he was AMAZING! Thank you for being an awesome server who made my friend's first kbbq experience spectacular. read less

We called in like 45 mins prior and they said that there was no wait so we all drove straight there. At first they tried to split up our group into 2 tables across from each other but we really really wanted to all sit together and we spoke to the manager and he moved us into a room. Worked out perfectly. Our server Nancy,was AMAZING. Will try to request her again the next time we come. She was so good at keeping our waters filled and bringing us food, sides and checking in occasionally. The staff went above and beyond for us and we truly appreciated it. The meat here is so fresh! Compared to other kbbq in the area this is a good bang for your bucks. read less

The waitress spilled water on the table but it wasn't a big deal and she was super sweet and gave us complimentary egg and soup. This place is super kid friendly, the other staff was really nice to my toddler nephew and the food there is really good I would totally recommend you to go there read less

We chose the 34$ combo they have which include all their meat and seafood choices! Their galbi and bulgogi is bursting with flavor and the meat is tender! I also love the squid just make sure it is perfectly cooked so it would not end up rubbery. The service is also good. The staff are very attentive and made sure that we got what we need. The ambience and the interior of the resto is designed to give you a 5star experience. They have booths that would made your experience much intimate with the people youre with. read less

We had a party of 7 and forgot to make a reservation in advance, so we called about 2 hours to see if they could fit us in. Not only did they fit us in, but they gave us a private room! I came in thinking that the teriyaki chicken was going to be my favorite thing, so I was surprised when the bulgogi was hard to put down! It was a challenge even just waiting for it to cook in front of me.Our waitress, Rachel, was also extremely accommodating and friendly. I definitely recommend Breakers to anyone looking to try out KBBQ. read less

Came Friday during lunch and it wasn't packed so I can't speak for busy times. We got the AYCE and I like that you can choose what soup you wanted. We got the Kimchi soup and it was hearty and flavorful. The steamed egg was really good. Keep in mind that any extra orders of the steamed egg is $2.99. The banchan are your generic Kimchi, broccoli, potato salad, fish cakes, pickled radish, and lettuce. We ordered the rib fingers, which are so so so good! This is a popular choice amongst other patrons too so they do tell you that they might not always have it. We also got the pork belly, spicy squid, LA ribs, and beef brisket. All very good and flavorful. The service is top notch. We asked for sides of fresh garlic and other items and our servers came back with them immediately. We didn't have to wait for our waters, dipping sauces or anything to be refilled. I can attest that we've eaten at a lot of Korean BBQ places and we've always had to wait or ask for refills. We left here miserably full and will definitely be back when we're craving Korean BBQ! You can tell the servers, the manager and owner really take pride in the business. I'm also glad that there wasn't blaring music in my ears while I ate. Try it and you won't be disappointed. read less
