“Muy excelente lugar nos encanta venir y compartir con la familia su atención es más que excelente servicio completamente recomendado“

“Everything was perfect! I would recommend this place“

“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.“

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

“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 !!!“

“Food was really good and our server was extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered the kimchee fried rice, soondobue (tofu), and the bibimbap as our main and they were all delicious. We also loved the Jun, Korean pancake, which was extra crispy!“

“Hard to find Jampong and Gampongi like this. This is all I ever eat here so can’t comment on the other stuff, but their noodles are handmade so I’m assuming their Jajangmien is good too. Nice to still be able to get the gampongi wings like this in the post-bonchon era.“

“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.“

“Very good little deli that makes homemade food and has convience store items and great snacks and beverages. Just a little treat of a place. Solid Bulgogi Korean wrap. The cafe and deli is inside a larger building on the first floor to the left when you come in the front door...“

“So delicious my first time there“

“Great cheap eats! Got the ham and cheese egg toast and it was amazing. The sauce they put on it was so good. Also got the cheddar dog with potatoes and it was just alright. Everything was very affordable and the location is great. Plenty of seating in the food court area“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“The service was great and the food was even better!! Great place to go with family or friends! Love the atmosphere and would definitely recommend for all! The service you get there is exceptional!!“

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

“Must GO! MUST EAT! Sooo GOOD! Will NOT disappoint! YOU WILL GO BACK, AGAIN and again and again!“

“Ordered for delivery. The bulgogi and vegetable stir fry were super tasty and had just the right amount of heat. Also ordered kimchi and the pickled cucumbers on the side. The cucumbers could’ve used a little more kick but overall, would definitely order again! :)“

“There are very few vendors open on Sunday in L'Enfant Plaza, but this happens to be one of them. The food was very fresh and you have choices of proteins, sauces and additional add ins. It was quite good for a food court restaurant. The person working there was very helpful and friendly.“

“This was my first time at this place and it was so much FUN.“
