39 Best Korean Restaurants near Wheaton

“Food was good. The breading after taste and the sugar on the food threw me off. I definitely asked for food to not be sprinkled with sugar. Why would i get a spicy dig with sugar? Spicy dog isnt spicy at all by the way. And they had no vegan dogs as advertised smh.“

“Anju is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the District. Please go check them out with there new spring food menu and cocktails! We sat at the bar and had an amazing experience. The shrimp dumplings, chicken soup, and of course bibimbap were as sooo good! Thanks to the whole team for their delivery and hospitality x1000.“

“The spot is very cozy and small . The place was really busy for a Sunday afternoon. I came here with with a friend based on his previous experience and we were not disappointed. We had a bit of a wait when we first entered the restaurant because of how popular and small the restaurant is it is. Be prepared to wait also ,it is a bit cramped and there isn't ample space between tables. I ordered the Sakuramen Ramen with Chicken Spice Level 4 . The amount of noodles given was sufficient, and the broth was really hot and flavorful. Will be back to try more of the menu when in Adams Morgan“

“This Chinese Korean fusion restaurant in Dupont offers a unique dining experience with dishes that blend two countries' flavors in a casual setting. Each dish is crafted to combine two distinct flavors well, but I found the flavors to be stronger than what I am used to in terms of taste. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with a young, energetic, and clean vibe. If you want to try something new and unique, this restaurant is worth visiting.“

“amazing experience as soon as you walk in!Me and my partner came in around 1pm super early for kbbq but didn’t regret it one bit! Cami our sever, super nice and friendly and super ready to get our meal started for us and also very attentive of any we need☺️!Will most definitely come back!!“

“I've been to this place two times now, and it is definitely a spot that I would recommend. So, why 4 stars... because I don't eat pork or beef, and this limits what I can try. I o wish they had more veggie options.However, everything I tried from this place has been really good. I was surprised at how good their Kimchi Pancakes (KP) are - usually, KP at restaurants are forgettable, and these were anything but.The Tofu Bao Buns are great. The shrimp burger is REALLY good. The fish tacos were ok, I wish there was more kimchi on them. They also make their own kimchi!It's a really nice and quaint spot that I'm going to make sure I tell other about.Vegetarian options: I wish they had more vegetarian options. I believe there are probably 3-5 vegetarian dishes. However, they may accommodate removing meat & eggs from their Bi Bim Bap.“

“Dear Diary - how can you not like kbbq? Is this a place to try? Definitely. They have all you can eat and/or A la carte. If you don't think you can easily go through 'all you can eat', it's ok to A le carte yourself instead; no shame in that. Their brisket and short ribs (bone or boneless) are amazing. I would say this place is a bit more premium, and you definitely pay for it.“

“Absolutely the best Korean fried chicken live had… and this is from someone who currently lives in SoCal with tooons of Korean fried chicken places that just can’t compare. As others have said, it’s the flavor, texture, and juiciness, all perfect.“

“This was my second time having kpot, first time at this location . Buffet was all that! Especially the fried chicken & they were so accommodating bc we really only like flats & they provided us with that with a smile. It was clean. And the food came so fast!Only thing I’d like them to add that my first kpot experience had was a picture of good sauce options you can make.“

“Surprisingly good and filling with a variety of flavors, I would visit again. A little awkward as a first time customer, I chose the crunchy kimchi off the chart. Sparse eating space, so taking advantage of the sun we took our meals to go and ate down the block at the Temperance Fountain.“

“Stopped in here randomly when running errands. Such a cute little shop and so homey. Their matcha is so good, as I’m sure everything else…especially the kimbap, it’s the best ever! If you’ve never tried it before, get it here when it is fresh and homemade. I live in NE and will go out of my way to come back all the time!“

“This is a fun place for a celebration! We rented a private karaoke dining room on a weekday evening. The music was fun with a good selection of popular tunes, and the room was the perfect size for a small group - well equipped for both dining and partying. The food was both unique and delicious - we particularly recommend the Qiqihar beef. There was also an excellent selection of cocktails and flavored iced teas. Shout out to our server, Patrick, who took good care of us and had a great singing voice to boot!Kid-friendliness: Not recommended for small children, as the karaoke screens would often auto-play songs with less-than-optimal lyrics.“

“This food was really tasty. The free garlic glass noodles were delicious. We had bao buns with pork and it had a great flavor and spice. The impossible bulgogi was impressive and a nice alternative since I don't eat beef. I would definitely come again when I want really tasty food.“

“Edwin Mendoza's customer service was incredible. The man understands what it truly is to give an experience with the food. As a first-timer, he walked us through it and ensured we weren't overwhelmed with unexpected portions since it was our first time. This store has a hidden gem, and it's him. My daughter cried, and he got her a popsicle to brighten her day. I feel that often, servers see customers as just another person to get a tip from, but Edwin makes you genuinely feel like a guest at your home. Honestly, the impact he left my wife and me every time we visit Washington DC; this will always be our go-to spot Korean BBQ place if you want great food, excellent service, and a personal experience asked for Edwin.“

“I came here for happy hour. Great food and drink specials. Order the sweet potato fries, mozzarella sticks, wings and the Kloud beer. Food comes out fresh and it’s a fairly small seating area with a bar. Server was great and really attentive. Prices are fair and I will definitely be back to try their Korean dishes. Plenty of parking in the back“

“Was in the mood for fish and found this one my Google search. Pleasant service, giving a mom and pop vibe. I ordered a whiting sandwich with a side of fries and cabbage. Food was amazing. Fish was made fresh to order, without the long wait. Ate half in the car and tried to save the rest for when I got home.“

“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.“

“I love the herbivore bowl. Delicious, healthy, great price. The herbivore bowl, is as you might imagine, a vegan dish - and as a vegan customer, I believe any restaurant only needs to have one good vegan dish to keep me coming back repeatedly. You can also customize your bowls, but it's nice to have this one that is well thought out and easy to order. Location is convenient, picking up to-go food was easy and quick as well.“

“Very delicious and home cooked jjajangmyeon that was very clean and not greasy tasting with great prices. Lots of fresh sides and lots of ingredients in the jjajangmyeon. Loved the cozy and authentic feeling of restaurant and very comfortable dining experience. The owners are hardworking and kind and the service was very good even though the restaurant seemed to be understaffed when I went. Very authentic. Thanks for the good meal on a rainy day.“

“I came here because my first choice was not available. To my surprise I had the meal of my life. All the dishes are meticulously prepared with nutrition, taste and presentation in mind. The owner of this restaurant should be elevated to a James Beard award. Definitely will come back every week!Vegetarian options: The sweet potato glass noodles are to die for!“

“This place is a must try if you enjoy Korean food. It’s tucked away in the corner and I hope they receive more visitors because they definitely deserve it.The service, food, and atmosphere were all great. Both the seafood pancake and Bibim bop were delicious and worth getting.“

“It's nice and clean, but the pineapple slush soju comes out 40-50 minutes after ordering, and there seems to be a problem with the machine that uses the chadol or planer. About 1/3 of it came out like crumbs. Still, the people serving us changed the grill and were kind enough to refill the side dishes. Personally, I don't like the variety of steaks, but the beef brisket and thinly sliced ​​pork are the best. I was looking forward to the Honey Butter Calamari, but it tasted like eating butter.“

“The owner is always friendly. Her food is very good and good quality. The smoothies are yummy. The homemade home fries are delicious The Spinach Melt Panini is a must try. She has several breads to choose from. If you’re in the Barlow Building stop in grab some breakfast, lunch or a smoothie.“

“i was able to order so much delicious and filling food for a really good price. the customer service was beautiful and the atmosphere is gorgeous although empty because there werent many people. i will 100% be coming back and ordering again !!! the food is phenomenal and i had enough for leftovers !! im left feeling full and sleepy, its that type of food :)“

“I found this place just walking around DC near my job and it has really good food for decent prices and reasonable portions. The first time I went I got the chicken tenders and fries and there were like 6-7 big tenders and the tray it was in was covered in fries. I just got the mini box today with chicken teriyaki and I finished it. I recommend it to anyone going there.“

“My first Korrito!!!! I had a beef Korrito from Seoulspice and was pretty satisfied. I wish it was as thick as the image on the website and I wish maybe it could be made with a less thick piece of seaweed, but I did love all the flavors. If you were to get a Korrito, I’d say just add all the toppings you want. I won’t make any recommendations because I think it can be good any way. I also had the Kale Apple Juice, which was very interesting but the weird combo was not for me. This review might sound a little pessimistic, but Seoulspice was really good. I’ll definitely be eating here again and maybe trying one of the bowls. The rating will only go up from here, but for now I give Seoulspice 4 stars!“

“We wandered in here on a Wednesday just after noon. The pastry location looked open but no one was at the counter and bullfrog bagels looked closed. We were excited to find an El Salvadoran place inside. We're big pupusa fans and try them everywhere we go! We ordered 4 Revueltas (meat, black beans, and cheese). They were excellent! Made to order so they were very fresh, there was not more breading than filling (which is a common complaint I've found). The sauce complimented the pupusas well and we enjoyed every bite! 5 STAR PUPUSAS- just think it's important to note there weren't many options to shop from.“

“Meat are great, would highly recommend shrimp, most options are also good. Just avoid finger ribs. Vegetables and rice are self-service and okay.The volume of items vary a lot, some are too much for two. Would rather have consistent smaller servings and more than four per order.Service is great. Our server helped with cutting some thick pieces and exchanging the plates in time.“

“We had a great time at Iron Age. The staff are excellent and helpful! The marinated meats were fantastic.I only wish that they make two small changes:1) since certain meats on the menu need to be cooked on different surfaces, I would have liked to organize my servings by cook type to prevent waste, and time loss.2) the menu link from the QR code, is blurry when you try to read the meat descriptions (to see which ones are marinated or not)“

“I went here twice since it was super close to where I was staying for my work trip. I ordered for pick-up, and the staff has been really kind both times. I ordered the bowl both times but tried the bulgogi and spicy pork. Both of these options were delicious and well seasoned. I'm not used to a Korean dish prepared like a poke bowl, but it was the best I had in the area. I'm giving it a 4 just because it doesn't fully match up to my favorite Korean spots, but it's a decent spot for grabbing Korean food on the go!“

“I went with my sister, who is vegetarian. We both loved the food. Service was great. We got the vegetarian pancake to share, she got soondobu jjigae and I got the seolleongtang. I've been looking for a restaurant with good seolleongtang and this place fits the bill. The soondobu was adequately spicy and delicious. One thing to note is the egg is $1.50 extra. The vegetarian pancake was crisp, not too oily, and along with the sauce it was delicious.Highly recommend this place. It's reasonably priced (paid maybe $35 for the meal) and the food was amazing. Plenty of vegetarian options to choose from.“

“If you know Kfood, you can’t rate this spot below a five for the taste. It’s simply amazing.However the mains are overpriced. I’m from New York and even there the prices are usually lower. Massive portions that might justify the price, but if you aren’t a big eater it’s only a waste of the food that is left over.Just giving my honest feedback.“

“This is a great place to eat!!! The food is delicious, the servings generous and the service phenomenal!! I had a bowl with noodles and purple rice, for protein I picked beef (bulgogi); for toppings: corn, cucumbers, kimchi, scallions, carrots and cilantro plus Cilantro-Ranch dressing; also sesame seeds and roasted garlic......I could say this is heaven! But it wouldn't do it justice. My favorite meal for now on“

“House of Milae is a great location in Bethesda for authentic Korean cuisine! Parking is easy, as there's a garage right across the street, and the restaurant has a good amount of seating. The Korean side dishes (Banchan) they provide are numerous and tasty, my favorites are the standard cabbage kimchi and the fish cakes. I got the Kimchi Fried Rice with pork, and it was really flavorful! Spicy, sweet, and savory from the gochujang paste, mellowed out with the runny egg yolk and nicely stir fried rice, it's a great combination of flavors, and really tastes like a nice home-made Korean Kimchi fried rice! Prices are a bit on the higher side, but I suppose that is just Bethesda prices. My friend did feel a bit sick from the food she ate afterwards, but I felt fine. Overall I do enjoy the food here and would come back again for more Korean fare.“

“I think this is really a bar. We were looking for salmon in the area,(google) was offered this place. They had salmon but only bar food to go with it. The Salmon was poorly cooked and the waitress wasn't paying attention because my partner never got his Salmon(might have been a good thing cause it was poorly cooked)$80 for 1 piece of Salmon a basket of fries and 2 shots. Maybe they shouldn't open till 9p or 10 pm cause if you think you gonna get dinner you may get a surprise, I wonder why google offered this place as a dinner place maybe the restaurant pick the wrong label . idk“

“You can get your food fast. (Update) for some reason I kept the water bottle that I got thereVegetarian options: Of course there are vegetarian options. why wouldn't there be.Wheelchair accessibility: The doors to the place are low to the ground.“
