“Love this spot!! My wife took me here for my birthday, and I'll be going back many times for sure. The service is incredible (thank you, Louise), the drinks and food are excellent (we did the dinner prix-fixe and Ingle accommodated my wife, who's vegetarian), and the ambience is nice but not formal/stuffy. Even got to end the night with an amazing red bean bingsu!!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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 .“

“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 decided to go try a new place today & ordered the Caribbean rice bowl. The notes of flavor were hitting the spot, I was welcomed with a warm greeting and the food came quick and hot! Definitely try this spot ur taste buds won’t disappoint you“

“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.“

“The best, most delicious, and healthiest food I had from takeout.From the Bulgogi to the Fluffy White Rice to the Glass Noodles and Sesame Oil with Crushed Garlic. I love it down to the Scallions lol. And if you call the cook, he will prepare it just the way you like it andanswer any andall questions that you may have. I'm a regular customer here. They definitely got Seoul!!!“

“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.“

“The food is really good! Serving sizes are family-style for most plates, so one plate is meant to be shared amongst those at the table. Service was efficient, friendly, accommodating, and the person processing our transaction informed us very clearly of the pre-charged 20% gratuity for the party of 6 or more (which we were, so I appreciate the clarity). The atmosphere is lively without being too loud, clean, tastefully decorated, open and spacious. There is a window where you can see the fresh noodles being made to order! Authentic Korean food, not a large variety of drinks (just soda, really - coke products, beer, liquor, and water). When the menu mentions spicy - it's spicy! But even regular items that don't mention spicy might have a little kick.“

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

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“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.“

“So delicious my first time there“

“Great Korean fried chicken and cheesesteaks“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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!😘“

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

The food is incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. The portions are generous, leaving you fully satisfied and impressed with the value.

The customer service is outstanding. The girl with glasses and a red shirt was attentive, and professional, which made the whole experience even better.

Seoul Spice never disappoints! 🔥🍜💯“

“Duane provided excellent service from start to finish! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. His bartending was top-notch, and the drinks were absolutely delicious, well-made, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. You could tell he took his time making sure every drink was just right. He was professional, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely ask for Duane if you visit, you won’t be disappointed!“

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

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

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

“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.

Clean place

I order the hot cheetos kong dog whole beef 7/10 the breading and beef taste good the hot cheeto did not taste like it. Plus left a werird pink gum taste after

6 pc wings buffalo. 7/10 had better but cooked perfectly nice crunch

Fries normal style crinkle cut

Price is on the high end. TO ME it did not correlate to the meal but i understand its all freshly made from what i can tell“

“Oh K-Dog can be a bit hit-or-miss. The food is fantastic -- all the K-dogs and sauces are amazing, and the toast sandwiches are absolutely delicious! However, service can sometimes be slow, and orders don't always come out in the right queue order. If you're on a short lunch break, you might want to plan ahead. Still, the flavors make it worth visiting when you have the time.“

“Full disclosure, I know nothing about Korean food. I came across this restaurant after dropping my car off for some work. These days, I guess we would categorize it as a hole in the wall, but it’s a family establishment and you could tell that people like this place. I was absolutely blown away by the quality and variety of both approachable and authentic Korean dishes. I decided on the seafood pancake and the premium short rib grill but they had options ranging from hot pots, meat and tofu, soups, fermented options, seafood, and combo dishes of every variety. Highly recommend to sit and taste get all these tasty side dishes. Will visit again!“

“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.“

“Yum! Good quick breakfast and not expensive. Huge menu, too.“
