TLDR: Food and service are ok at best.I ordered fried chicken tacos, I discovered at home the tacos were made with fried fish instead. Drove back and they happily remade the tacos, but were reluctant about trying to compensate me for the wrong food and the two drives it took for me to go up there and back home a second time. I called before I went and was told by the MANAGER who wasn’t working to ask and they’ll give me a free dessert or appetizer. I finally got my food and a small piece of cake as compensation and *drumrollll* the tacos were very mid. The chicken was dry and clearly unseasoned, just battered and fried. I expected more because of the ratings, but there’s nothing special or magnificent about this place. The tacos weren’t nasty, but I can’t really say I enjoyed them either. The Oreo cake was nasty, overall a waste of money.

Stopped by on a very busy Saturday afternoon (Dec 23) and Edwin gave great advice and customer service. He suggested I get the three taco combo. Be sure and ask the server for TaKorean's flavor picks! They've got killer combos ready. I savored three soft corn tacos, each loaded with different meat + slaw options. Topped 'em off with lime crema, Korean-style salsa roja, and sesame seeds.My fav was the pork and kale slaw. All three were delicious, but that one was my top choice. The flavors were very distinct. Next time we go to Union Market I’ll encourage the family to try it. We will be back.

Very very delicious rice bowl. It is a fantastic combination with sour cream and gochujang on top of rice and bulgogi. Staff was very friendly! I visited Navy yard location but I like Union Square better because of the staffs. Same food but better service.

I didn't know what to get, so I asked what their recommendation was. The shop attendant suggested getting the tacos with the three protein options (chicken, pork, steak), three different slaws, and all topped with gochu-pow sauce, lime crema, cilantro, and crunchy shallots.I think I liked the pork the best. It was overall delicious. I also got a mexi-coke.

Consistently really great food. I usually build my own bowl and it's always SO good no matter the combo— the food tastes fresh and flavors/options all mix really well together. Service is quick and staff have always been nice!
I ordered a bulgogi bowl with all the toppings. It's like chipotle styled ordering so you can choose whatever you want. Service was a little slow because of so many people in line but it moved quickly.

TaKorean is a great addition to union market. When I lived in the DMV it was a regular post work stop with colleagues and friends, and when I visit the area Union Market and TaKorean are one of the first places I return to eat. It's easy to cook up Korean meats and slap them in a tortilla, but TaKorean takes it further. The banchan toppings, the sauces and the marinades on the meats light up my life. I love the variation you can get in spice level here. TaKorean is a great sport for a casual date, happy hour with friends, or a weekend adventure with the family.

Went here to eat a quick dinner and was surprised to find they do Taco Tuesday ! You get 3 tacos for almost $9 (which is not exactly much savings with $11 something after tax lol) HOWEVER, the tacos were absolutely delicious. It really is like a Korean Chipotle and the people there were really nice.I ordered two bulgogi tacos and one chicken taco. The meat was so flavorful and tender. I picked the kimchi slaw on the bulgogi and the kale on the chicken and I also asked to have everything topped with cilantro, fried shallots, a sauce I can't remember the name of and lime crema. SO GOOD.Maybe I'll come back and try their bowl!! :-)
