40 Best Korean Restaurants near College Park

“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!“

“The food was awesome as this was my first time trying it. I HIGHLY recommend dinning here as it will not disappoint. Not to mention the employees were extremely polite and happy to help make recommendations for toppings and such. Will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“As part of our DC visit, we treated six family members to a fantastic foodie night at Ingle Korean Steakhouse--a spot our son (who lives here) highly recommended, and he was absolutely right.
We were warmly welcomed by Natalie, our server, who couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. She walked us through the menu like a pro--perfect for us first-timers--while getting us started with some delicious scallion salads.

We briefly considered doing the prix-fixe, but went with à la carte instead... and were really glad we did.

We kicked things off with a spread of shareables: steak tartare, ssam (lettuce wraps), scallion salad, wok-charred asparagus with garlic chips, corn cheese (sweet, cheesy, slightly indulgent goodness), sautéed mushrooms, jjamppong (a spicy seafood and beef noodle soup), doenjang jjigae (rich soybean paste soup with beef), and beef fried rice. A few of us added white rice to round things out.

For the main event, both tables went with the galbi (boneless short ribs), and our table also tried the jumulleok and the ribeye cap. Everything came out perfectly cooked to medium, then cut into bite-sized pieces and served--such a nice touch.

The vibe struck that perfect balance: upscale but relaxed, lively but not loud--easy to enjoy great conversation while still soaking in the energy of the room.

All in all, an outstanding pick for a family dinner. We'd go back in a heartbeat!“

“The food is fantastic!!!!“

“This is not a five star restaurant by any measure, but the experience was awesome. I’ve driven by it maybe 1000 times so it could be my anticipation getting the best of me here but I was very pleased with everything here. It’s a very low-key nondescript almost austere overall vibe and it’s all cooked as you order, but pretty quick. I’ll come again!“

“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 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.“

“Reliable, fast take-out spot great for korean stews like soondubu and bento box style meals. Service is always friendly and chill. They often will throw in a side like miso soup free with a larger order. So glad this is in the neighborhood!“

“$5.50 for an extra scoop of meat…why…

Other than that this place is extremely solid. The bulgogi is usually rich in flavor, veggies are fresh, rice is nice and soft.

My order: white rice, bulgogi, half cucumber, half carrot, creamy sriracha? Chipotle?, sesame oil and seeds. Then when I get home I cook an over easy egg and throw it in. Lasts me three delicious meals!“

“Great experience with Ahmed Ahdulkareem as our waiter! He was quick to change grills, offer refills and bring out anything we needed! 10/10! 💚💚💚“

“we love their jjajjangmyun and jjambbong! very delicious!“

“Passing through Maryland we were hungry and wanted seafood drove 20 minutes out of our way to try a place in the same strip mall.

“Solid lunch. Got the rice bowl with bulgogi beef and went with the cilantro ranch and sesame sauces. Both of them were subtle in the best way, not overpowering at all, just added this nice smoothness to the whole dish that tied everything together. Added the Korean “Drug” Egg because obviously. Worth it.

But honestly the highlight was the cashier. Came in around 2pm and she had this energy that just makes you want to come back. Genuinely warm, not scripted. Didn’t catch her name but she deserves the recognition.
Good food, great vibes, fair price. Easy yes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“This is the most best chicken wings in entire Washington DC, we always have it every week on our days off and we live down in Southwest. They have best Korean soysauce but surprisingly the most delicious taste is Lemon Pepper sauce, it's so yummy as sweet, bit of salty sour and the price?! No need to argue with their price as too cheap for its deliciousness and value.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Great Korean fried chicken and cheesesteaks“

“I usually ordered Ja-jang-myun (black souce noodle), jarm-pong (spicy seafood noodle), tang-soo-yuk (fried pork with souce), fried dumplings, or gahn-poong-ki (soy friend chicken) on my way home from work when I don't have time for cooking dinner after rough day.“

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

“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!“

“Nice atmosphere, food was delicious. I love Korean food and this is the place I usually come with my family. I recommended them highly.“

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