INJU BBQ ANNAPOLIS
About This Spot
Stepping into INJU BBQ ANNAPOLIS feels like entering a lively yet comfortably familiar corner of Korea, nestled right in the heart of Annapolis. The space hums with a warm energy — the rhythmic sizzle of meats grilling on tabletop flames, the soft glow of ambient light, and the subtle pulse of K-pop videos setting a contemporary, upbeat mood. It’s a place where moments stretch just enough for good conversations to flow, whether you’re sharing laughs over a rich platter or savoring the quiet satisfaction of a solo meal.
This Korean barbecue restaurant embraces a spirited, communal pace where the focus is as much on the ritual of cooking and sharing as on the flavors themselves. The experience invites diners to engage intimately with the meal — from choosing cuts of meat seasoned thoughtfully with soy garlic or spicy marinades, to pairing them with an array of banchan, those small, vibrant side dishes that transform the table into a colorful mosaic of tastes and textures.
The menu’s diversity offers both adventure and comfort. Whether it’s the perfectly balanced tang of rice cakes laced with chili sauce or the juicy crunch of Korean fried chicken, each bite invites you to slow down and appreciate the layers of tradition and care. The hands-on nature, combined with the attentive, friendly service, creates a welcoming atmosphere that feels both educational and easygoing—ideal for first-timers and regulars alike.
Beyond the food itself, INJU BBQ ANNAPOLIS gently weaves in moments that make dining here feel special. From thoughtfully curated soju flavors to an accommodating environment where families and friends can comfortably unwind, it’s a space that encourages shared experiences and discovery. The attentive staff, who take the time to explain different meats and guide choices, help turn what might be a casual dinner into a memorable occasion.
With its vibrant, convivial spirit softened by subtle touches of personalization, INJU BBQ ANNAPOLIS offers a genuine taste of Korean culinary culture without ever feeling rushed or impersonal. It’s the kind of neighborhood spot that invites you back, not just for the satisfying meals, but for the warm atmosphere that turns strangers into familiar faces over time.

This is my favorite Korean restaurant in Annapolis! The food here is absolutely fantastic, and they have all these different soju flavors. Their AYCE deal is a steal!!!the meat quality is awesome. They even have lunch specials on weekdays, perfect for a quick break. Plus, they give you all these free side dishes and salad. I mean, how good is that? Today we got the premium meat from the menu, and they were beautifully prepared. Our server was super cool too, really patient and full of energy. The whole vibe in there makes you feel like you're in Korea! Honestly, if you're around, you've gotta check this place out.

Food and drinks was great and our waitress Natalie was amazing! It was our first time there she took her time to explain the different type of meats and sides on the menu. She stopped by every few minutes to check up on us. Highly recommend this place even with kids

Was able to order take away and enjoyed a soju cocktail at the bar. The service staff was friendly, and the drink was a large portion and very delicious. I love that they play K-pop videos on a large screen and definitely want to return to have a full Korean barbecue experience. Their menu has lots of options and I was happy that they did have choices that you can carry out. I enjoyed the garlic chicken and shrimp as well as japchae. It was still warm by the time I got home and very flavorful and I would highly recommend.

It was our first time dining here, and we came to celebrate my birthday. Our server, Matt, was very pleasant and made our dining experience enjoyable. We ordered the premium beef selections. The food tasted good, except for one type of beef slices that were a bit chewy and not very pleasant. However, the rest of the food was excellent.

This place has become one of our go-to spots for a full belly meal. The food is always incredibly well-marinated and consistently delicious. The garlic pork belly, Spicy brisket, Inju steak, and spicy chicken are always our top choices for our rounds! The atmosphere makes every meal feel like an experience rather than just dinner with projecting displaying music, photo opportunities in the phone booth or with Jinro frog. They do an amazing job making celebrations feel special, complete with sparklers and a bottle, which is such a fun to see. They also have colada's served in fresh pineapples which is another standout. I also really appreciate their vegetable platters; the vegetables are high quality and offer a great variety, which is not always easy to find. Good soju, water DOESN’T taste like tap water, good soups and sides, PLUS FREE BINGSU AFTER YOUR MEAL TOO!!!!!!! Lastly, Scott and his wife are absolutely amazing and clearly put so much care into this place, staff members are incredibly kind and attentive as well. My spouse and I often have family/friends come in from out of state and this is the day 1 dinner spot! We always leave happy and can’t recommend this restaurant enough.

I went to Jongro BBQ (shows up as Inju BBQ when you search), and it was absolutely fabulous! The place is super nice, with a fun atmosphere and very friendly (and cute ) staff. The food was great – high quality and lots of variety. I loved that it's all you can eat, and they even help grill the meat for you! Definitely worth a visit if you're craving good Korean BBQ. I’ll be back!

Had some time to kill at mall I was not expecting authentic Korean food here and this is not a review of the bbq which I didn’t have. BUT the other dishes on the menu are real deal. Kimchi pancakes crispy crunchy delicious. Seafood rice bowl really good. Hit the spot. Sorry I misjudged it due to location. And for whatever reason the regular dishes are $10 and under can’t get that price anywhere. Great service with Josh.
