This is a great place to bring people with conflicting tastes. Non-adventurous diners can enjoy the burgers, more adventurous diners can sample various Korean food (the steak is quite good), and healthnuts and vegans will have a lot of choices. The dining area is initimate, but a little too small for my tastes. Good place for casual dining and great for any meal.

I've been coming to marks kitchen since I was a little kid, every time I've gone it's been absolutely amazing. Mark has been a staple of the community and his restaurant will be missed but everyone who grew up with his food will remember him for the rest of time. Mark, your spinach tofu cakes will be missed. <3

This would be the first time here when it wasn't brunch. The udon noodles were tender and full of unique flavor. The wrap platter (Ssam Experience) was a healthy diversion. It did not fill up with diners until around 6:00 p.m. so it is a great place to converse with a tea before then. Thanks Mark

Korean steak and kimchi omelet was very good. The diner vibe is nice but it can get quite busy on the weekends. Strongly recommend.

I have come here for brunch almost every weekend for years. It is a wonderful place with excellent food and service. The mung bean pancakes are incredible.

Mark's kitchen staff was very nice. The welcoming atmosphere brought me back. I had a good asparagus and shiitake mushroom omelette, and a nice cup of coffee. They have vegan and vegetarian options. Plus a nice mix of Korean flavors.

We absolutely loved our dinner. There was something for the picky kids, vegans, and carnivores in our group.

Great sandwiches and rly good service.Only rating 3 stars because of a crab salad I bought for $15 that was tiny and had a sprinkling of crab, no crab stick as advertised and only 2 small shrimp. It was really disappointing..

Decent food, decent service. You can't really go wrong with Mark's, and it's a Takoma staple. Love the rice with Korean steak and kimchi and just tried the omelet with kimchi, really tasty. They also have good vegetarian options.
I have been dining at Marks Kitchen for many years. I moved into the neighborhood 2 years ago, and I am a frequent diner here. The staff is great, the food is fresh, and healthy, and overall just a great reasonable place for me to dine out.

Why didn't anyone tell us about this Takoma Park gem? We started with mung bean pancakes and then, I had the veggie fried rice with tofu, mushrooms and vegetables and Daniel had the seaweed bibimbap with tofu. (Careful: the miso soup has fish flakes.)

I wanted so bad to like this place based on all of the good reviews I saw. Unfortunately, that wasn’t my experience. Not only was my food served to me cold, but I received my food 15 mins after my husband’s food came. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but when a party is seated together they expect their food to arrive to the table together. We wanted and expected to eat together, not separate. Additionally, our server rarely checked on our table. If this is the kind of customer service this establishment has to offer, I’ll pass and will not be returning.

I recommend Mark's grilled chicken club and kimchi egg roll. I recommend you sub your complimentary side of sweet potato for extra coleslaw because it tasted like Mark's marinates their sweet potato in sugar, which was gross and unhealthy. I threw my side of sweet potatoes away.
