Penn Grill & Bar

Really good weighted grill. They got korean soup-like menu called yook gae jang. It is good.

Friendly service and awesome home cooked breakfast food.

Amazing food great staff good prices really recommend for lunch

Excellent fresh tasty food around $10 a portion. I was so addicted to this place for a while, I felt embarrassed going there daily. Very friendly people working there too.

Food is good; prices kinda high for the made to order grill; a little too much oil for my system tho

I have only tried their yuk gae jang (spicy beef soup) here and it s better than the ones in Annandale. Annandale is the area that is known for Korean food. The soup is authentic and the galbi on the bone is a nice added touch. This is probably the most authentic yuk gae jang you will find in DC. The owner is super nice too and is always greeting you with a smile. Highly recommend!

I like their spicy beef soup and fried meat&veggies, especially the beef in the soup. It is far better than expected and the other Korean restaurants I have ever been to.

Stir fry was excellent and reasonably priced. Lots of meats and veggies to choose from. Big menu with lots of sandwiches to choose from if you aren't into the stir fry, as well.

DUDE IS SO NICE AND FRIENDLY. BLESS THIS MAN.

Also food is nice! I got the build your own stir fry. It was priced reasonably and it tasted pretty good. Good level of spice as well.

My first time visiting with a friend and there was hair in my food after we arrive back at work to eat. I only tasted two bites before I had my friend take it back. Didn't get a refund and I can't really judge the food since finding the long brown hair which made me sick to my stomach.

I had the stir fry and it was amazing! I will be back!

Food was good going down but gave me food poisoning

Always a great meal. I typically stop there once or twice a week. The service is good and the people are great! Food is always perfect.

Here we were always breakfast in the morning. Delicious coffee and typical American breakfast

Coming from Pennsylvania the bar for good cheesesteak is high. Didn't really enjoy them as much.

Always a good meal. You get exactly what you want because you choose each ingredient

Hands down the best restaurant in the area. I literally must go to penn grill every time I walk by this part of DC. You must try this place before you die!

love their morning potatoes n onions. my treat to me every few months.

Fantastic food at a good price. Stir fry buffet is delicious (but can be heavy on the sauce). My go-to is a beef/spicy pork bowl.

This place does a make your own stir fry where you pick your ingredients and pay by the pound. The ingredients selection is good, chicken, beef, pork, tofu, veggies and noodles. It's a good option if you are looking for variety at lunch. They also do sandwiches hot and cold.

Very friendly old man, loving to be here all the time

Mom and pop type food establishment with very friendly owner and staff. This restaurant makes up for its lack of ambiance and decor with excellent quality food. The stir fry noodles are delicious and at an affordable price (~$6.59 /lb , weighed after your stir fry has been cooked) for students in the area as well as workers -- or really anybody in particular who is looking for a potentially nutritious and very filling meal. Will return!

Always excellent service!! Again way too much for me to finish

Everytime I come, I get fresh noodles and vegetables and they stir fry your food in front of you. Great food and price. Would recommend to anyone that likes stir fry to come and try. You will not be disappointed.

This place has an amazing stir-fry bar and is one of the best values for lunch that I've found in the area. The owner is incredibly nice, as well. My only gripe is that they close at 4:00. I would love to eat here for dinner!

I have no words to explain this place. The food is ridiculously incredible. The stir fry bar is nice and refreshing. The prices are so adorable (stir fry by weight). The only down side to it is that, THEY CLOSE AT 4PM!! I would love to eat there on a late night.

Great price for the quality! Also, convenient and family friendly. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Excellent

Build your own stir fry is great and just as one reviewer stated the staff is great.

The Penn Grill is the premier spot for mongolian grill in downtown DC. Not only is it cheap and delicious, the workers there are always very upbeat and happy. If I could eat there every day, I would. Highly recommended!

Great staff. Great food. Owner is Korean selling Eukgejang which looks great. Did not order it as I wanted to try different fried noodles. Tastes very good!!

Really good stir fry by the pound. Super friendly people there and great prices. Check it out!

Great place. Owners working at counter with others, always friendly.

The best kept secret in Foggy Bottom! The choose-your-own-ingredients stir fry is the main attraction, with fresh ingredients and divine sauces. The teriyaki cheesesteak is also fantastic and unique compared to other teriyaki and bulgogi cheesesteaks I've had. The staff is super friendly and will remember you after a few visits and the prices are very reasonable.

Any time I bring Penn Grill into the office for lunch all the coworkers suddenly have to get some, too.

Great price and taste ratio! Cheap price and good quality.

I love this place. Wish they would open more locations.

Never coming back. Ordered online and when I showed up my order had been canceled because they didn't have any food. No one called to inform me of the situation. Terrible

Staff are amazing here and the food is incrediblely delicious!

Delightfully warm owner, greets you with smiles and conversation - so friendly; and delicious, affordable Stir-Fry. The mild was still spicy for my British butt but smelled and tasted wonderful.

Good food, fast service, low price. Next time, I'll add more proteins (tofu and chicken), break up the big tofu, order mild, and after paying add sriracha on the side. Get a little of each vegetable, then add more of the favorites.

I walked by Penn Grill and decided to go in when I saw how much the people sitting outside were enjoying their meals. I decided to go with the stir fry. You choose your noodles, vegetables, meat and sauce and it's prepared as you watch. I had both egg and rice noodles, kale, mushrooms, onion, beef, pork and chicken with mild/spicy sauce. Everything was fresh and delicious. Based on weight, my meal came to just under $12. Nice to get exactly what you want.

Love this place. Quick, friendly, and delicious! Also a good value and great location. Highly recommend!

great fresh stir fry, welcoming owner and employees

My go-to lunch spot. Owners are super friendly and will remember you after a visit or 2. They offer many sandwiches but they're know for their "create your own" stir fry. You select the ingredients, they stir fry it, and you pay after for the cooked weight.

Go here quite often Foods cheap and the owners are awesome

Cheap and delicious (but also quality!) food with amazingly friendly staff :)

I like their cheese steaks and love the fries but recently my food always seems to taste like everything that has touched their grill and no longer a cheese steak. I suggest cleaning it more often.

UPDATE: I called and spoke with the manager and he acted as if I was lying or he didn't care. Never mind, I just won't bother next time!

This place is awesome! Make your own stir fry! They also have sandwiches and soup! The owner is always around and super friendly

Make your own stir-fry charged by weight paired with a sandwich counter. Good for a quick lunch but gets crowded between 12 and 1. Limited indoor and outdoor seating.
