House of MILAE offers authentic Korean cuisine in a great location in Bethesda. The restaurant has ample seating and easy parking across the street. The atmosphere may need an update, but the food makes up for it with numerous and tasty Korean side dishes, including cabbage kimchi and fish cakes. The Kimchi Fried Rice with pork is a flavorful highlight, with a great combination of spicy, sweet, and savory flavors. The spot is cozy, and the wait staff is awesome and attentive. The manager is described as one of the best people, and the kitchen is absolutely on point. This is one of the last few old gems of downtown Bethesda, serving quality authentic Korean cuisine. The menu features well-seasoned and comforting dishes, including beef gimbap, kimchi fried rice, kimchi jigae, and tteokguk stews. For an absolute treat, the beef galbi and pork belly are served on a cast iron hot plate. The owner is exceptionally friendly, and his genuineness and sense of humor complete the experience. While the seafood pancakes could use some more seafood freshness, and the tofu soup could be more flavorful, the overall experience is great, with comforting food and excellent service.
