“One of the best dining experiences in the area with consistent and superb food and service... every time. As always, we got Cuts of The Day dinner prix fixe, and we tried out their scallion pancake for the first time, which was great! The update to the dessert offering was good, as you can't go wrong with ice cream w/ cookie crumbles. With other Korean BBQ restaurants struggling with inconsistent service, and drop off in meat quality, it's great to have Ingle, where the quality of meat and staff have remained at the top of the game.“

“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.“

“This was my first experience with Korean food and it did not disappoint. Everything was freshly made by the mother and son who own and operate the restaurant. The beef dumplings were melt in your mouth delicious and fresh. The chicken with sweet onions I could eat every day. The portions are large... definitely enough for a meal or two the next day. The overall experience was fantastic.“

“The food is fantastic!!!!“

“The food here was absolutely delicious! I literally want to drive the 5 hours back to DC just to get more. The lady that took my order was super cute and sweet and answered all of our questions. I didn't even get a picture of my food because it looked and smelled so good and I just dug right in! They do have a couple of stools at a little bar area, but it is mostly a takeout place.“

“I have ate multiple times at this restaurant and the service and food was fantastic! The food was hot and seasoned to perfectio“

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

“The food is good, but I’m gonna have to remove stars because of the customer service. 😕 When I first entered, I wasn’t greeted. The associate just stared at me, as if to say “I don’t have all day. Are you gonna order anything?” She had the most stony expression… It was only my second time here, so I was quite sure I had not had any negative encounters with anyone. I was trying to get suggestions and ask questions about certain things, but every time I asked a question about something, the server just dumped it in the bowl. He never answered the question. When I got to the cashier, I apologized, because I wondered if I had done something wrong. But he just referred to me as “diva,” and tried to assure me that nothing was wrong. I told him I didn’t appreciate being called a diva. I just don’t like being treated like I’m a problem when I haven’t done anything. I gave two stars for service, because my first experience was so amazing! I don’t know what happened.“

“The manager was extremely kind and knowledgeable. He was patient while I asked him questions about my various allergies and gave recommendations with those in mind. The food 🤤 DELICIOUS. The proteins were not dry and well seasoned. Everything was fresh and the portions were generous. Right after I finished my bowl, I ordered one to go! Highly recommend ✨10/10 will return again!“

“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.“

“The line at chipotle nearby was so long at lunch I decided to give this a try and I’m glad I did. I asked the staff for their help in building a bowl since it was my first time and ended up with a delicious chicken bowl with half rice/half veggie base. Yum! Lots of great flavor and love the sauces on top too!“

“Great Korean fried chicken and cheesesteaks“

“I really love this place. Since recently moving from Korea to the U.S., I find myself coming here whenever I crave Korean fried chicken. This is the only place that truly captures the taste of the chicken I used to enjoy back home. I once tried the BBQ branch in Greenbelt, but I was really disappointed—it didn’t taste anything like what I remember.

Whenever I feel homesick, I come here for chicken. The breading is perfectly crispy without being too thick, and the meat is juicy and fried to perfection. It's the kind of flavor that lights up a bulb in my head and brings me right back to Korea.“

“I order the lemon pepper every time. Saucy and quite literally drenched with flavor. I love KFC (korean fried chicken) and this is the best in the county. If I want candied chicken meat- this is where I go. The wing skin is like biting into a lollipop then your teeth sink into the flesh and the chicken taste bursts into your mouth . Phenomenal . Super kind staff- they get me.

Super special treat.“

“!!! fresh and delicious FOOD !!!“

“This is my go to spot whenever I am craving a good bowl of Seol Lung Tang or Bibim NangMyun. For the Seoul Lung Tang, don’t forget to add salt and for spice, add their hot pepper paste- this is a must. We usually order their haemul pajun to start. It’s a huge serving and oh so good. Korean comfort food!“

“Excellent food, superb service and great portions! Totally worth the money.“

“We ordered the tangsuyuk, jjajangmyeon, and jjamppong. The flavors were all pretty standard, but the prices were very reasonable, which I really appreciated. The tangsuyuk especially stood out since it was fried in fresh oil. It tasted clean and light. Overall, a solid spot for a simple and affordable meal.“

They still serve tasty sashimis and California rolls , more over their menu includes various other stuff ! Id highly recommend to everyone who likes great asian food

Parking: Easy parking as its the same as the lottery super market!“

“Great community kitchen to work out of 👍“

“This Korean takeout establishment is conveniently located within H-Mart in Falls Church. I have enjoyed trying various dishes here, and today, I opted for the Ox Knee Soup. It was pretty enjoyable, with a rich and flavorful cow bone soup enhanced by some delightful pieces of ox cartilage. The overall quality was satisfactory. The ordering process was efficient, with my food ready in 10 minutes. I appreciated that the staff was not seeking tips, which contributed to a pleasant service experience, and I found the prices reasonable. For those interested in dining, tables and chairs are available for guests.“

“Ugh. I really wanted to like it, service is great! Good people very helpful. Just the food I dont know in my head and what others have hyped, i was hoping for more banging flavor.

“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.“

“Amazing experience, food was perfecto and nice experience. 100 % Recommended!“

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

“love it here! great asian options in a comfy location!“

“Noonchi is inside a bao shop. My colleagues and I went to the bao shop for lunch, and the owner of Noonchi came out and offered to give us some kimchi fried rice to try. I thought he'd give us a taste, but he gave us so much that we could have eaten just kimchi fried rice. We had a group of 6, and every single one of us loved the kimchi fried rice. It was one of the best I've ever tried. Definitely planning to go back and have Noonchi again! FYI it looks like the mahjong and ping pong have been removed, and now it's just a nice restaurant.“

“We had a fantastic lunch at Arirang, a lovely Korean spot on a quiet shopping strip. On a calm weekday afternoon, we were served five classic Korean side dishes-including kimchi, potatoes, and seaweed salad. We loved the seafood tofu soup and the BBQ pork; everything was incredibly flavorful! The portions are huge, the service was as friendly as it was efficient.“

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

“We had an absolutely amazing dinner at Seoul Prime last night. The private room was beautifully designed and provided the perfect atmosphere for a business meeting dinner. The service was professional, attentive, led by our wonderful server Yen Yen. Her warm and engaging personality made the entire evening truly fun and delightful. It was an exceptional dining experience from start to finish.“

“Very cute place, delicious teas and desserts, nice staff.“

“Stayed at a local hotel and ordered from Door Dash. SECRET SPICY CHICKEN was great. Pretty much like General Tso's Chinese but a tad spicier. Large pieces of good quality chicken, even the medium order was too much for me. Pair it with steamed white rice, put the rice in the sauce. Very good.“

“Good food, love the salad, and good service!“
