50 Best Korean Restaurants near Chevy Chase

“This place is legitimately fantastic. I’m a big fan of hole-in-the-wall office building delis (okay, it’s an admittedly unusual interest…), and this one is a great example. It’s got that perfect mashup of deli standbys like breakfast sandwiches, subs, and sandwiches, plus a bunch of things from the owner’s background - in this case, great Korean food. Likewise, the variety of snacks and drinks is similarly broad, with a lot of unusual things you don’t see many places. Too bad it’s only open on weekdays, but if you’ve got to see a specialist for some doctor’s appointment, this is a good reason to pick one at 5454 Wisconsin.“

“Zane was my waiter and he provided the most kind and patient service. I’ve ever had here and I come here often.“

“Great evening at Anju with work colleagues. The food was exceptional , full of flavor and beautifully done. As chefs ourselves, we were all impressed. Service was warm and smooth throughout. Thanks to Chef for coming by and explaining his dishes ., A great personal touch. Highly recommend.“

“GO TO LIZ!!! She was absolutely amazing and such a delight to have around, my first experience here and it was superb because of her. Such good energy and a vibe. Very good explanation and great recommendations. Will be coming again and will be seeing her! ❤❤“

“The food is fantastic!!!!“

“Everything about this place was Fantastic! There are so many sides and appetizers to choose from. They all came out almost immediately. I love the brisket and the beef bulgogi, which paired really well with the onion salad I got on the side. The staff was very nice and attentive!

I give this place a 10/10 and will be back for my Korean BBQ fix soon!“

“Friendly service and great food.“

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

“I visited Sorimmara in Annandale for lunch with a friend today, and we had a great experience. The food was delicious, the prices were very reasonable, and the service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and very helpful throughout our meal. I definitely plan to come back again soon!“

“First time here and the food and drinks were amazing. Marcus was our server and he was great at walking us through the menu and made some great recommendations. What was even greater was that he worked with the kitchen to make sure my dad’s salt restrictions were taken care of with each item that we ordered! They even made the soybean soup less salty! We didn’t even have to remember or remind them! Bravo Marcus and Seoul Prime for that extra special care! It’s so hard to find restaurants that cater to these dietary restrictions. Loved the ambiance, loved the service, loved the drinks, loved the food.. definitely worth a visit. We will be back.“

“we came here on a saturday night. it's not very crowded and there's free parking nearby. it's a lively, bustling place with a bar, nice for hangouts!! we got the cheese sticks, tonkatsu cream pasta, rose tteokbokki and pork jowl suyuk. the portion is huge and the food is so gooood. overall it's a nice experience 😋‼‼“

“Yes, the food is delicious but what makes this NoMa location is the attentive and caring customer service. I messed up an order for four by placing it for another location. SeoulSpice NoMa crew to the rescue. No questions asked. Same order ready for me in less than 3 minutes. Customer service of this caliber is rare these days. Bravo and thank you, SS NoMa!“

“You have got to ask for Jay Kim, he is the best server in the house. He was patient and ever so helpful with us as first time hot potters. I had a vegetarian hot pot, well, except for the dumplings. Although they have no vegetarian options, he worked with me and provided me with an alternate option. It would be more awesome for them to add it to their menu tho for those of us who just love veggies. The broth is vegetarian based so it makes sense to have a vegetarian option along with it. We had a party of 8 and Jay Kim made it so much fun!!! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh. One other option that would have been great to have would be fresh ginger at the sauce bar and mushrooms on the vegetable plate. We were all pleasantly pleased with our food. The ambiance is very nice, low light but more than enough to cook and enjoy each other's company. Jay Kim made sure we always had what we needed. The sauce bar was amazing, so many choices. I recommend making a few bowls, some for the broth and and some for dipping your cooked food. If you get any type of meat, also make a sauce to marinade the meat. You don't have to but it made a good difference. Meats are thinly sliced for quick cooking and again,so fresh. The price was worth the amount of food and the experience. There is an all you can eat option or an a la carte option where you just get one meat selection and a vegetable plate which was more than enough for us as a party of young ladies. This was a great first hot pot experience and I definitely recommend it, just make sure to ask for Jay Kim. I know you will enjoy it!!!“

“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.“

“Friends raved about this place. So, I picked up Bulgogi Bibimbap 😋 and I'm so happy I did!
It was Delish! I'm really surprised that this place wasn't crowded.
The place is simple and nice. There's limited seating inside but there is more seating outside. And the service is friendly. I was hungry but I'll try to remember to take a photo of the food next time. In the meantime, eat here. If you like Korean food, I think you'll ❤ it just as much as I did.“

“Hi! I love the food, but I just had a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE at Rosslyn. The person at the counter threw my food at me, was incredibly rude, and laughed at me while I was speaking with the manager. A total lack of respect. Me gusta mucho la comida , pero la atención de la sra de el mostrador fue realmente fatal , me tiró la comida , le pregunté el nombre de forma amable h me dijo que no tenía y después con actitud grosera mientras yo hablaba con el manager , esto daña la imagen de este lugar ! Es importante que ella reciba entrenamiento de servicio al cliente .“

“visited here from out of town and it was me and my friends’s first meal!! we ended up going again the second night because of how good it was. the owners are incredibly hospitable and lovely! they also really care about their food and how people receive it. i had the pork belly bibimbap the first night and the gochujang sauce was amazing! and the second night, i got the sushi combo :D AMAZING“

“Today I had a really satisfying meal at K-Street inside K Market.

The pork cutlet was very comforting and balanced — just a classic, reliable donkatsu flavor.
What impressed me the most was the tuna kimbap. The ratio of egg and carrot was excellent, and the flavor was clean, mild, and not salty or overpowering at all. It felt very different from the typical overly seasoned $9.99 kimbap.

Everything tasted fresh and well balanced.

I’d definitely recommend the donkatsu and kimbap at K-Street inside K Market if you are looking for a simple and satisfying Korean-style meal.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This Fried Chicken is unlike anything I have ever tasted. The boneless wings are SO PERFECT. They have a light and airy Ness to them and yet are ao wonderfully crispy. We always get the honey garlic boneless. They are truly amazing every time. I have never had anything like this, and will happily be coming here for years to come. Use scissors to cut up the chicken and get some rice and pickled radish to make it truly a taste perfection.“

“As a party of two, we ordered the tteokbokki + regular kimbap combo and spicy squid over rice. The food was decent, but not one of my favorite Korean restaurants. The tteokbokki was on the sweeter side. Kimbap was good! The staff kept trying to talk to us in Korean even though we don’t speak it, but that’s okay.“

“Decided to try this late-night place after a long day at work. Since I was dining by myself, I was seated at the bar on the first floor--which I don't mind as it provided me a nice view of the yakitori station. I visited on a Friday evening so it was a little busy, but since I was on the first floor the atmosphere was calmer compared to the second floor. Jack was the only server on the first floor but he was prompt with my orders as well as the other customers on the floor. I ordered the grilled large intestines/daechang with a side order of kimchi as well as a light lychee martini. I've had daechang before, but I gotta say the daechang over here just tops it. They're marinated in this addicting sauce and the intestines were grilled perfectly. That chewiness and greasiness I normally get from eating just one piece of daechang from anywhere else, I surprisingly did not get after eating a few pieces here. I definitely would go again and try out their other menu items, especially their yakitori!“

“Great wings! We turned around after passing the location and ordered the soy garlic wings… they were amazing, fresh, and clearly made to order! Fries were good too, not greasy either. Price is in line with wing places nowadays. Will return!

No place for dine in, carry out only.“

“Great experience at this restaurant!

Kind service, good food, quality side dishes. Everything was served piping hot, which was a huge plus. Taste wise, all of the dishes were a bit on the milder end. Not a good or bad thing. Just a personal preference thing.

It's a bit pricey, but I can't complain too much because the food was delicious.“

“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!😘“

“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.“

“Come sing at the bar! Room! With great food and drinks!!“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

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

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

“The service was excellent. I like the special treat in the end. Glad we decided to go here.“

“I can say this is one of my personal favorite to go, especially during summer when it’s so hot outside and I am craving for something to cool down.

Owners are very friendly and always greet you with smile. It’s a self-serve restaurant in a food court, but they answer your questions in a nice manner and appreciates you dining with them.

The food is so gooood. Cold buckwheat soba is a must-try here, especially during summer. There is a bowl of sauce that you mix wasabi and minced raddish, and you put buckwheat noodles into the sauce and eats it from there. Other buckwheat noodle dish are solid as well if you want something warm or hot to heat you up.

Over the summer, I go to this restaurant at least once a month, if not more. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to eat healthy noodles with diverse flavor.“

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

“One thing I love about mom and pop Korean places is that you often find them in the oddest, out-of-the-way locations. This is certainly true of Yett Gol, which is tucked away in the corner of a rather run down Glenmont strip mall.

Definitely not the kind of place you'd expect to find decent Korean grub. And yet, Yett Gol is exactly that. Quite decent. None of their dishes disappointed, the service was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy.“

“This was a really cozy and yummy place. All of the workers are extremely friendly and the food made me want seconds. I got the sullungtang, the combination sullungtang and fried dumplings and it came with kimchi and it was soooo good. I totally recommend this place.“

“Great Korean fried chicken and cheesesteaks“

“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.“

“The food was excellent and the service friendly and quick. We are no experts on Korean food, but we thoroughly enjoyed our Jaeng Ban aka Jang Myun, Spicy Pork Bulgogi, and fried dumplings. The servings were so large that we took fully three additional meals’ worth home with us. The proprietress was incredibly sweet and patient as we asked about the menu.

Completely satisfied, so happy we came to try Wang Jja Jang for our first time. We’ll be back. Highly recommend!“

“I visited Annandale for a medical appointment from out of town, but I got hungry so I wanted a quick bite to take on the go so decided on this spot. I was greeted with a friendly smile, quick service, and fresh and delicious food. Whenever I’m in the area, I’ll be sure to stop by.“

“The staff were very welcoming when I entered the restaurant. My girlfriend and I sat at the bar, and the bartenders were extremely friendly — the service was excellent. The food and drinks were great, and the owner even gave us a couple of pieces of sashimi to try, which were amazing! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a fun night out with friends.“

“Next stop on the Virginialicious Food Tour Company was Red Holic, and this one really stood out.

Great atmosphere, great energy, and just an overall fun experience. The food was excellent across the board, but what made this stop different was the personal touch. The owner came out, served us herself, poured the Korean beer, and took the time to walk us through everything we were eating. You could tell she genuinely cared that we understood and enjoyed the experience.

That kind of hospitality goes a long way.

And once again, Sujin kept everything running smooth. She does an incredible job tying each stop together and making sure you’re not just eating, but actually experiencing it.

This tour just keeps building momentum with every stop.“

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

“Awesome place friendly staff, Ally was awesome she played some uno with us while it wasn’t busy. Karaoke prices are good for the space and definitely great for special events. Great atmosphere definitely recommend if ya wanna be a regular“

“Friendly decoration and fresh homemade food. Free public parking cross the street from the restaurant. Smiley owner!!“

“Ma and Eam are the best people u ever want to meet they showed nothing but respect and a lot of. Love in there food 5 stars sis“

“Wonderful service and equally wonderful food ! So glad to have good quality Korean food in our local community!“
