34 Best Korean Restaurants in Washington

“Everything was perfect! I would recommend this place“

“Absolutely amazing Korean food. Simple and super tasty. It's better to order a takeout because the seating inside isn't that comfortable. The food is very authentic and not expensive by DC standards. Ordering online was very easy, and the food was ready for pickup 10 minutes later. The folks working there were very friendly. Totally positive experience!“

“I have rode my electric scooter, all the way from Maryland, to get Korean Wings and dumplings from this place. It was worth it!
If you have never tried Korean chicken wings perhaps you should, unlike others, it definitely hits different!

Wheelchair accessibility: There is one step to enter, there are no ramps for wheel chairs to enter 😔“

“I Highly recommend this restaurant. I had Mother’s Day dinner here and it was AMAZING! The food was great and the customer service was Top tier. The manager Edin was attentive and friendly. My entire family enjoyed ourselves. I will definitely dine with those guys again in the future. Small parties and Large parties are Welcomed. 2 👍🏾 Up.“

“Great community kitchen to work out of 👍“

“I love the food! It’s so good. I brought my daughter for the first time and she wants to come back this weekend!“

“I eat at Iron Age every time I pass through DC. It is an awesome experience with great food. The price is also very good at $30 for 90 minutes. I just can't order the shrimp because it is whole shrimp with eyes and all.“

“In DC for 6 days, if it weren’t for family gatherings that included tons of food, I Would Have EATEN HERE EVERYDAY! Seriously love, the Love! Bring some of this great food to Boston!😘“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“This was my first time at this place and it was so much FUN.“

“I am sure Korean food is the best when tasted in Korea. That's why I'm not a big fan of Korean restaurants abroad. However this one, Rice Bar in DC satisfied me for real. 다만 제 느낌에 1회용 숫가락이 좀더 크면 좋겠고 젓가락에 일본어 적힌 점이 아쉽.. 그래도 또 들리고 싶네요.“

“We were in town too see the Cherry Blossoms. While looking for something quick to eat, we stumbled upon SeoulSpice. I have been craving my mother's cooking... You guys are the closest to her cooking that I teared up while eating.... All the way to the last bite. 😋 And then we went again the next night!“

“Incredible service!! My pickup order encountered a minor delay, and the staff informed me they were comping my order before I had even noticed the wait. I told them they didn’t need to do that, as I wasn’t in any rush, and the staff replied “We hold ourselves to a high standard here” - This high standard of care is also evidenced by the excellent quality of their food.“

“Gluten free options galore!!!“

“Great place great atmosphere and excellent food“

“Best chicken Katsu I have had since I left Hawaii. The owner was amazing last time We went which is why we went back. Well that, and the food is amazing. Also, I never ever right reviews that's how good it was.“

“Wonderful mixture of flavors and textures. Refreshing and filling at the same time. Definitely a must if you like asian mex fusions. 🤤“

“Must GO! MUST EAT! Sooo GOOD! Will NOT disappoint! YOU WILL GO BACK, AGAIN and again and again!“

“Quaint little family owned coffee shop with an attentive staff. Great coffee!“

“A build-a-bowl shop with rice or noodles in the L'enfant food court. Ask for extra sauce! Their flavors are perhaps a bit more bland than "Asian standard."

Vegetarian options: Great tofu or veggie options, but stored in the same case as the meat.“

“Bun'd Up Review: Tasty but Pricey

Bun'd Up offers delicious fried chicken buns and fried shrimp buns. These flavorful options were previously available at three for $13, but prices have recently increased. While the food is tasty, it now feels a bit pricier for the amount you get.“

“Yum! Good quick breakfast and not expensive. Huge menu, too.“

“This was my second time at Momo. The menu is Korean fried chicken and assorted North Asian dishes such as bimibap, a shellfish ramen, yakisoba and a few others. The food is quite good and moderately priced. The manager served us which suggests that it, like many restaurants, is a bit short on help, but the food did arrive promptly. It is within easy walking distance of Arena Stage and is quite moderately priced. We will go back“

“I have yet to find a vegan cheesesteak that matches up to the ones in Philadelphia (Basic 4 why did you have to leave!), but this was pretty tasty. I wasn't a huge fan of the roll, but the cheesesteak itself was good, and with precisely the right amount of onions and peppers. The vegan potato salad was great too. It's actually a ghost kitchen though - there are three other vegan restaurants from this window (Yang's Chinese, Pizza Loko, and Kimchi's Pho/Bibimbap) and you're probably best off getting delivery. There are other restaurants in the building as well ("food incubator") but those are the vegan ones run by the same owner.“

“I cant believe I had not tried this place before. Man is it good the staff is very friendly and they have this Korean elderly lady cooking the korean dishes which are just amazing they feel like home cooked meals. You can feel this incredible sensation that the food was cooked with care and love at the first bite. This is a must if your in DC

FYI : I only tried Korean food I cant speak about any of the other foods on the menu“

“Very fast n tasty 😋 offers variety of choices.“

“Finally decided to try this place. I have to come back to try the breakfast, but the whiting fish was good. Since it was close to closing I couldn’t try all of the sides so that’s why i can’t give it 5 stars.

Went back a few months ago and was able to try the greens and macaroni and cheese. They were both delicious!“

“Great breakfast and Best service ever!“

“After an awesome baseball game, I decided to hit up Bonchon, just a 5-minute walk from the stadium--a super convenient spot for a quick bite. Even with the post-game crowd, I was surprised at how quickly we were seated and our order taken.

It was my first time at Bonchon, but I'd heard great things about their wings. I went with the soy garlic wings and some fries. Let me tell you, these were the BEST wings I've ever had. Crunchy on the outside, fall-off-the-bone tender on the inside, and the soy garlic flavor was out of this world!

I'm definitely coming back to try more of their menu. If everything else is as good as the wings, I'm in for a treat!“
