As an American with Korean heritage (Korean family but was born here) I have to say the staff/service and the food, portions and prices deeply offend me. I wont come back here again and suggest you go somewhere else.

Big servings. Limited but enough selections of the latest fusion creations by the Chef! Possibly the ONLY place in DC serving Chinese-Korean Jjajangmyun, a cult favorite dating back a century to the original Chinatown in Incheon… via Nagasaki…. Tartare that is Korean in taste compared to Ambar and other places. Real pincher and a variety of both western and Korean drinks. Lively crowd of every background. Perfect for a lively dinner after a hard day’s work!
The food is amazing here!!! They also have vegan options, which is a plus. This spot is such a gem.

Over several visits - the food has always been outstanding and the service fast and attentive, but not overwhelming. So much excitement on the menu. The fried chicken was outstanding - awesome to share. Great location and sweet bar for popping in and getting take out if not dining upstairs. Reservations for dining room recommended.

A wonderful Korean restaurant with an elevated take on traditional dishes. If you’re looking for strictly authentic Korean BBQ, this may not be your spot—but if you’re open to something a little more refined, it’s excellent. The duck was my favorite, and the side dishes are a must—make sure to order plenty!

This place is wonderful and exceeded our expectations by far! We showed up at 4:45 (15 min before opening) with no reservation & we were sat immediately!
Highly recommend the chicken and the branzino!

Cant recommend this place enough. The service was spot on attentive. Everytime my water was almost empty, it got refilled immediately. The food and its presentation was amazing. It was our first time and our server Khoa was super helpful and polite. Atmosphere was amazing with great background music. This place is a must go

Great tasting food with very good portions, the restaurant is very low key and relaxing. Drinks are also delectable!

Fantastic food and fabulous service! Just a little loud in the upstairs dining room, but that comes with the territory with most restaurants in DC these days. Would definitely come back!

Good food but bad service. Dumplings and Bibimbap were good, the battered branzino was excellent. Service unfortunately was pretty poor. The drinks were very slow (came out after apps despite ordering drinks first). Our waitress missed an order and also was not very attentive, slow to check-in, never asked if we wanted a second round of drinks. Overall Anju has solid, but not great food and a very lacking restaurant experience. I'd be more likely to order takeout from Chiko than actually revisit this restaurant.
