Il Mee Buffet, web site, 7031 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA, 703-642-2100 (Metro Trip Planner – opens in new window) [Washingtonian | Expulsion! | City Paper | Don Rockwell]
An excellent Korean restaurant with an amazing degree of choice. Huge, note that all they have is a very large buffet, reasonably priced. Everything is great and surprisingly fresh. Don’t worry if you hate buffets, as I do, drop your reluctance and go. Everything here is fresh and outstanding. Get the cold soups. The kimchees. Make sure you dip your grilled meats in the sauces.

Go for the BBQ – the galbi (short ribs) and the spicy pork were juicy and marinated nicely. The bulgogi (tender beef) was a little bland and needed some doctoring but it was passable. The lettuce leaves were fresh and without any brown spots. My big complaint is the rest of the buffet – never go for the chinese food in a korean restaurant. Stick with the BBQ and venture outside of that with caution.
