I went on a Korean food tour in Annandale Virginia visiting K-Town. Our tour guide was Mina with Virginialicious....highly recommended. Red-Holic was the first stop on the tour. The food was delicious. We had the Gimbap/kimbap (seaweed rice roll; they have 10 different types!), tteokbokki (sweet and spicy rice cakes). Dipping the Gimbap/kimbap in the tteokbokki was everything. The food was really good. I definitely recommend!

The OG for Korean bunsik food. Have been coming here since I was a kid and the food quality and taste haven’t changed and the prices are still so friendly! The owner is also really attentive and brought me extra tissues when he saw I was blowing my nose. My go to is the sampler ❤️

Bunsik—Korean for ‘snack food’—has long been a staple of Korean street cuisine, and this restaurant offers a wide variety of those classic dishes.
Everything was freshly prepared, a bit spicy, but delicious nonetheless. The tteokbokki, fried dumplings, chicken wings, jjolmyeon, and soondae were all enjoyable. I especially liked the chicken wings—they were juicy and flavorful. The gimbap was generously sized in both diameter and length. A solid spot for authentic Korean street food.

I loved everything I tried in this restaurant. The food was great! My mouth was on fire from a couple of things here and there, but I didn't mind it at all. Everyone in my company enjoyed the food. Definitely recommend.
Food was amazing. I got the ttoboki and it was delicious and savoring. The employees and waiter were very nice. Some of the reviews are lying because the food and the people in this restaurant were amazing! I will 100% comeback!

had such a nice time here with my friends, one of them who recommended red holic to us and said it was one of her family’s favorite spots! we ordered one of the platters + soup and everything was SO DELICIOUS the cozy atmosphere and decor of the restaurant was really cute as well! i can’t tolerate spice very well (embarrassingly), so this was one of the rare times i ate korean street food, which i’m glad i did :) everything from the kimbap to the soup was amazing

Honestly if you want kimbap this is the place to go. I have been going to red holic since 2010 and the owners have been consistently changing however the current owner knows how to do bunshik! Twigims are so crispy, tteokbokki and kimbaps are perfect, soondae is alright. Do not expect a five star restaurant level service here because that is simply not what korean bunshick is about. Come here for the affordable, wonderful, delicious food!
The food was decent but they need to know what food goes with what.
We ordered spicy hot cold noodles & kimbap that are usually served with warm/clear soup in other Korean restaurants but not at this restaurant. The warm/clear soup is to relieve the spiciness of the hot cold noodles & the chocking hazard from the dry seaweed of kimbap. I asked the server if we can get some warm/clear soup, he simply said, "They don't come with it." with a very indifferent expression and tone. No offer of any other soup nor refill of drinks.
He was consistently unfriendly and with the attitude of "I really don't want to be here" when serving the food and bringing the check.
