Probably one of my go to places in Navy Yard for a tasty fulfilling lunch/dinner bowl. I usually order a bowl with White Rice (Brown Rice if I’m feeling healthy), Spiced Kale, Bulgogi Steak, extra Lime Creama, Cilantro, extra Crunchy Shallots, and GuaKamole ($2 extra). The staff is always super sweet and generous with the potions. The indoor seating and kitchen/ordered is always clean but I prefer the outdoor seating on a nice day outside.

The food quality has change drastically and the service worker are rude and are not attentive to customer's order. Twice I went and got served the wrong slaw. Not everyone can eat Kim Chi slaw. I didn't request but got it each time. I requested for regular slaw. I don't think the lady understood the difference. Takorean management, please train your workers better. My lunch is ruined. The atmosphere was amazing though

I went on yesterday, I cannot give five stars due to the customer service, it could’ve been 10x’s better definitely because there was no crowd. Other than that the food was delicious 🤤

Ordered a Bowl with half steak and chicken.

I wish they had noodles to go with the meal like some other local options.

It was good except for the salad portion which I did not like as much (-1 star).

Overall, great taco offerings. However, the guacamole is horrid, and surprisingly, they provide no salt to overcome the incredibly bland (saltless, lemonless, limeless) "flavor."

UPDATE: I do appreciate, however, that management was quick to reach out and rectify the situation. Couldn't ask for better customer service!

Perfect spot for a quick healthy lunch. Was in the navy yard for a few days and went here a few times. Very consistent and quick.

Takorean was given a high endorsement from an associate of mine to try while in Washington DC. They were not wrong.Cleanliness. 4.5 of 5. The restaurant was well maintained and appeared very clean.Service: 3.5 of 5. Staff was professional but not talkative to the customers. A little more interaction would have been nice for a first trial run.Food quantity 5 of 5. I ordered the slaw bowl that had romaine slaw with some kimchi slaw. For the meat I had chicken. Additions were tomatoes, pickled daikon radish, and cilantro. A lot of food, left the restaurant full.Food quality 5 of 5. Every bite was full of flavor and pleasant. The aroma of the food matched the taste. Though late in the day when I solicited the restaurant, the food was still fresh, delicious, and delightful.Price: $$ 15-20 per person would be reasonable, I didn’t chose a lot of options that could increase one’s bill.Overall I would give this restaurant a 4.5 of 5

One of the best fast food spots in Navy Yard. Can’t go wrong with any of the menu options. Staff is friendly, and the food quality is always consistent. Definitely recommend.

Consistent fare and popular spot in the area. I'm not a fan of their version of kimchi, but it's fusion so they get a pass. I'm half Korean and fast food Korean food outside of a food court in the mall is still not mainstream. I view their bowl as close to bibimbap as I'm going to get in the area. So it almost scratches the itch when I'm craving it.

An interesting mix of flavors. Beyond that, it is just typical fast, casual food.
