Hands down the best BBQ in town. The meat quality is incredible , tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. Every cut we ordered was fresh and juicy, and grilling it at the table made the whole experience even better. The side dishes were fresh and constantly refilled, and I especially love their fish cakes, they’re so flavorful and honestly one of my favorite parts of the meal. Everything paired perfectly with the BBQ.

Been to this restaurant three times. It’s truly one of the best places to visit in the Baltimore area if you want authentic Korean cuisine. The staff are very friendly, welcoming, and helpful in helping you understand the menu and cook the BBQ items to perfection. The place is managed and staffed by Koreans who obviously care to a high degree about the authenticity of the food they’re putting out. I’ve come here with Korean friends who had nothing but positive things to say, and for me personally, coming to this restaurant alone makes the long trip from Baltimore to Ellicott City worth it. The quality of the meat they serve is exceptional, with every piece coming out juicy and tender from the grill. Their other options such as their cold noodles and tofu soup are also some of my personal

The food at Chosun Hwaro is amazing! The BBQ meat is super flavorful, the seafood tofu soup is delicious, the Korean pancake is crispy, the stir-fried squid is tasty, and the bibimbap is so satisfying 😋🔥. The staff are fast, friendly, and very attentive 😊👏. Definitely a great spot to enjoy authentic Korean flavors! 🇰🇷✨

We had the Chosun Hwaro Marinated Combo for $139. Menu states enough for 3-4 people, we were 2 people and it was just about enough. If we had 3-4 people it would not have been enough. Most of the meat was good some a little tough and gristly. Soju was great but they were out of the Snow Beauty Sake which was disappointing. Overall a good experience here. The negatives were that the waiter was cooking everything so fast that it appeared like he was trying to rush us out of the place. If we return we would prefer to cook our own meat, we did not know this was an option until after our meal though.

I usually don’t write negative reviews, but this time I feel I have to. ChoSun Hwaro has always been one of my partner’s and my favorite places. We’ve celebrated many special occasions here over the years, including holidays and anniversaries. Since today is Valentine’s Day, we decided to come back again, expecting the same great experience we’ve always had. We came right when the restaurant opened, and there were only a few tables occupied. Unfortunately, the service we received was extremely disappointing. We ordered the medium BBQ combo. In the past, the servers would carefully grill the meat piece by piece, controlling the heat perfectly so the meat turned out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. However, today the server rushed everything. She put all the meat on the grill
