Great place! We went for brunch and it was just as delicious as it looked on their website. Portions were a great size for the price and the food quality was worth it all. I want to go back for dinner and honestly, go back for brunch to try the items that I didn't get to! My son got the lychee lemonade and it was delicious. Highly recommend the Steak and eggs + the Shrimp porridge (blanking on the dish name). The inside of the restaurant was just as cute.

Terrible food. We ordered pork belly and mala chicken - just check out the picture that I uploaded. 80% of the pork belly were just BURNT too much (barely nothing to eat) and I could see that the chicken is not fully cooked. I complained to the server about the burnt meats and she said “it is the normal way of cooking”. I would strongly suggest to visit another place.

I don't think I will come here again but it was alright they have a lot that I can get elsewhere for cheaper and with free 반찬 they are heavy handed with drinks though nice place for a drink

Sub-par overly sweet Korean food. We lingered briefly to finish our drinks, but the server hovered nearby, glancing at the table and checking their watch. It was painfully obvious they wanted us out the door as quickly as possible. Not too nice..

We had high expectations for the Tasting Menu at Anju, but it was just okay… The fried chicken, Impossible meat dumplings, and broccoli tempura were highlights. The branzino was too bland, the chicken main was over spiced, and the steak tartare were lowlights. The steak tartare was unevenly cut, which resulted in inconsistent texture and flavor across bites.

I've been here many times but had a really amazing experience sitting at the bar for HH. Em behind the bar is such a gem. We had pretty much everything on the HH menu and was all delicious, especially the short ribs. Great vibes and energy, and if you can sit at the bar, definitely grab a seat!

Fantastic spot! Friendly and responsive staff and the food was amazing! We did the Can’t Decide Tasting Menu and it was worth every penny! The amount of food we got was incredible and every plate was delicious. Will be coming back!

awesome vibe and insanely delicious food! highly recommend the broccolini tempura, bibimbap, and i am not kidding the black sesame gelato is a MUST.
I’ve lived in DC for a decade but somehow missed Anju. Went for the first time on Friday and had a phenomenal meal.
For starters, we were running catastrophically late due to work, and they kindly changed our reservation by several hours without any charge despite being full for the evening. When we arrived, they placed us in a cute nook in the window, where we had incredible service from one of their waiters who doubles as bar staff. I forgot her name - but she was lovely.
The food was terrific. The Palace Ddukbokgi with bulgogi might be one of the best dishes I’ve had in the city. You may be tempted by the bibim bap - it is a great dish - but spring for the Palace instead. We also got the Mandu, which I could eat probably three orders of. We also got the Dak Jjim, which was very good… but again, the Palace is the play. All of the food came out in a matter of minutes as well.
An accommodating hostess, terrific waiter, and killer food. Suffice to say we already made another reservation.

Rat in the restaurant. Don’t go. We ate our meal and saw a rat twice ??? And the manager gaslit us into thinking it wasn’t a big deal???

The food at Anju was incredible! Our personal favorites were the tartare and branzino. Our server (Eduardo) was exceptional and I would recommend this place to anyone who is interested.

Came for an early lunch and everything was great. The food is flavorful, interesting, and I loved all the varied sides that came with the pork belly. The portion sizes are large, I would recommend sharing between a few people. Further, the servers are so great — I left my card in my check and the waitress came running down the street to return it to me. Talk about above and beyond (thank you!)
Tasting Menu is a must try!
