- DDonnaWashington, D.C. Area •17 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 6, 2025My friends and I saw a review on IG so we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed. The service was good from the moment we entered the restaurant throughout our entire dinner. John, our waiter, was very attentive and did not hesitate to politely answer my myriad of questions. The food was very good and that brisket oh, my! I definitely recommend this restaurant and I plan to go back to try a different entrée.More infoSmokecraft Modern BarbecuePrice: Moderate• Barbecue• Arlington•4.3

- KKarlWashington, D.C. Area •5 reviews4.0Dined on May 25, 2025It is a very popular place! We had reservations but still had to wait 15 minutes for a table. It was our first time at a place like this and the menu was confusing, but our server helped us understand it. The buffet is not cheap but you get to choose from 45 different items and cook them yourselves at the table. A lot of trial and error for us (we undercooked the broccoli and maybe overcooked some meats) but it was a lot of fun. The quality of the meat was excellent, and sharing duties to keep it turning on the grill and sampling the food together added to the fun of the experience. We will definitely visit again!More infoGyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ - Arlington, VA | ClarendonPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Arlington•4.7
