50 Best Korean Restaurants near Baileys Crossroads

“Great staff, great owners, great food! Hands down, this will be our go to spot! Their food prices are fair, and the happy hr prices are the best in the DMV as well! A friend an I went to this location for the first time, and we loved it. Definitely recommend!“

“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.“

“i love coming here! their food is great and service is fast. the brand of soju they have is sweet (i recommend green grape). there are kpop videos projected on the walls with music which is a nice touch. lastly, expect it to be crowded because of how good the food is.“

“Why don't we see asian dining experiences as "elevated"? Ingle Korean Steakhouse proves that it can be. We had the prix fixe and every dish was well executed with quality ingredients. The meats melt in your mouth. Restaurant interior design was pleasant and comfortable. The service is the best I've experienced in an Asian restaurant in North America - our servers were knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly.I would highly recommend this place when hosting or for special occasions.“

“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“

“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!!“

“Picked it up and on my 12 min drive home, it didn't get cold at all and stayed crispy till the very end. So pleased with the way they packaged it and more importantly, VERY pleased with the taste/quality of the wings! Would definitely order again. Hope the business can keep this up!“

“@bbqchickenvasquareHere to spice up your Monday's feed with some cluckin' good eats at my favourite BBQChicken location! The vibes we're fun, the drinks were delicious and the food was all super tasty.✨️ Nakey KFC: We really wanted to hear the crunch of these without any sauce on them and it was soooo satisfying and probably funny enough my favourite. I liked being able to dip in a variety of sauces too.✨️ Soy garlic fried nuggies: Boneless chicken = nuggies, This classic flavour was perfect and really brought the meal together. Their chicken quality will never cease to surprise me, every single bite is a perfect crunch and meat ratio.✨️ Bulgogi Bibimbap: Large portion with all the traditional fixin's that just hit the spot.✨️ Corn cheese: A side dish who can do NO wrong, always a fun cheese pull.✨️ Bulgogi poutine: These are definitely more like loaded fries, but absolutely so good! The fries were perfectly crispy.? Bevvies were all delicious and it was hard to choose a favourite, but in order if I have to choose is : Tango Mango, Yochee, Bae Bae Q martini.Overall, I love that you get pretty much the same quality of chicken at any of these franchises but this one has to be my favourite so far, the owner, Lydia is so kind and fun, had amasing drinks and the decor here is adorable.- insta @ SpicyAivy“

“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.“

“Wow everything we tried looked beautiful and tasted amazing. Pork and kimchi potstickers, veggie dumplings, green beans, and smashed salmon are what we tried. I don’t think you can go wrong. Love that you can order everything through toast tab too. Makes it simple.“

“In Korean shabu-shabu, people eat together from the same pot.In the United States, it was fun to eat shabu-shabu from each person’s own pot.Meat and seafood were served, and vegetables and other ingredients were brought out and eaten in a buffet style.It was nice that you could choose the shabu-shabu soup base according to your taste.All ingredients were fresh and delicious.I had a great time and had a delicious meal :)“

“These are the friendliest people in the food business. The food is good, served quickly and always with a smile, respect, and sometimes even a song. This has been a standard lunch spot for me ever since I started working in Tysons every day.“

“I came here with a friend to play darts. While I didn't get food I did come here to grab a drink and check out the area... The Cue Club is a sports bar and pool hall if you enjoy going with a group of friends for a night out. I think it has the essentials of a good sports bar. Draft beer, good food ( I haven't tried it but the bulgogi sub looks good ), and pool, darts, and foosball for people to play. Service wise it took a minute for me to flag someone down to order some beer but beers did come out quick once I did confirm my order in. I don't know if the cocktails are good but we'll have to try again another time. For what I came here for, darts are in a separate room like the pool tables, and it's very spacious. The darts were available if you chip in 5 dollars, play all you want really. I honestly had fun learning how to play cricket but it is a long game. Although I didn't win against my friend this is enticing enough for me to play more when my friends are available. It's also across the street from O'MyChic so familiar territory for me.“

“This is my go-to spot every time I'm in Tysons! I absolutely love the dandelion tea drinks because they taste like coffee without the caffeine I usually get the dandelion tea with less/half sweetness and the staff is always super nice and patient about getting the sweetness level exactly how I like it! Can't wait to come back!!“

“Enjoyed my overall experience here. The soup was flavorful and the portions were huge. The kimchi was a highlight. The sullungtang was rich - I had the combination one and the tendon was out of this world tender. I added a bit more salt and pepper on the table and some kimchi juice. Yukjaejang was even better - packed with veggies and meat and the spice level was perfect. Quite busy on a Saturday early afternoon. Parking is bit tight in the front but more spots are available in the back. I would not recommend parking in the fire lane on the side, but a lot of people did anyways. Excited to go again and try other items.“

“It’s official. SEOULSPICE is our kpop dance team’s new post-practice eating spot. It’s decorated so cutely inside and the food was great! We were served by Destiny, who treated us with the warmest energy and like we were best friends. Cannot recommend this location enough. Will 1000% be going back ASAP!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We found a Korean restaurant in an unusual location - inside an office building. At first glance, it looked more like a cafe in a hotel rather than a Korean restaurant. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the great taste of the food and the generous portions. The service was also good, and the place was clean and well-maintained.“

“If you love Korean food and Chinese food, then you come to the right place. This is a small hole in the wall restaurant that serves excellent food. It reminded me of the little side restaurants in Korea where you can get a good home cooked meal. After leaving Korea, part of this dining experience left me as well. Finding a great authentic restaurant like this in the Ft Belvoir area is not easy to come by. The place is small with limited seating, so check before coming by. The food was outstanding, and we will be back for more. Service was not bad food came out hot and prompt.“

“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!“

“Just wow. I was in S. Korea for the last 2 years and this is by far the closest I’ve had to it. I came in and was warmly greeted and given time to order. I got the bibimbap and it was a generous portion. The food is made to order so you will always receive it hot. I ate in to see how they treat other customers and to no surprise the received the same amazing customer service. If I could give more stars I would. Give this restaurant a try for sure.Reviewed by J2✅“

“The owner was really nice. The gimbap was perfectly wrapped. Rice was nice and thin with lots of filling. The pork katsu was crispy and the pork was tender. The sauce tasted really great. This is a very unassuming place with high quality food.“

“Just tried Korean BBQ chicken for the first time here. Loved the food, twice fried chicken tenders. too much food to eat at lunch for me, took it home and had leftovers. the spicy flavoring that I got, half order of mild half spicy korean, were very tasty. would get the spicier version next time. the counterman could not have been more gracious and helpful. its small, only three tables, so mostly a carryout/delivery option. food is great. going back next week“

“Went for dinner because I was craving for stir fried squid and mandu. The restaurant feel homey. I wasn’t expecting it to be this small. They put poster of the dishes on their wall. When I dined there were other parties as well, so it was a bit noisy. But food and service was good. The stir fried squid was a bit too spicy for me (i ordered medium spicy, i think next time i need to do mild), mandu was delish, stir fried pork belly was also too spicy for me (but delicious tho, :)I got hot tea for drink. Overall it was a pleasant experience:).“

“Love the food from this restaurant. The quality of their food is better than some other restaurants charging twice the price. We get the bulgogi, spicy pork, mandoo, and fried chicken. We get the soy chicken because their hot chicken is too hot for me but go for it if you can handle it.“

“Love this place, beat kbbq AND hot pot in the dmv. Love having the best if both worlds. Service is exceptional, orders come out fast and we ordered so much. The food is so flavorful, and much more options than other spots I've been to. And the prices are incredible. And the pictures online don't do it justice I thought I was coming to a hole in the wall but the atmosphere is so lovely and modern inside. Seriously. Check it out.“

“I visited last Sunday & I absolutely loved the mozzarella corn dog with potato and the avocado egg toast! Both were delicious! I hope they open more locations in the future, since this one is a bit far from me. But I'm happy to have found a place that makes korean corn dogs and korean toast sandwiches. I'll definitely visit again!“

“I love lighthouse tofu! It's a no frills, authentic and homey feeling experience. The tofu soup here is so comforting and flavorful. You can select from so many different types of proteins - just be careful on the spice level because it can get pretty hot!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Incheon Nova, a modern fusion Korean cuisine restaurant, and I must say, it was an absolute delight! The culinary experience at Incheon Nova surpassed all my expectations with its delightful and delicious dishes, each infused with a touch of creativity. The flavors at Incheon Nova were simply explosive! From the moment I took my first bite, I was instantly transported to a world of culinary bliss. The combination of traditional Korean ingredients with innovative cooking techniques resulted in dishes that were not only unique but also incredibly tasty. It was evident Chef Ahn at Incheon Nova possess a true passion for his craft. The modern and stylish interior created a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. Whether you're looking for a cozy dinner for two or a celebratory gathering with friends, Incheon Nova offers a versatile space that caters to all occasions. What truly made my visit to Incheon Nova exceptional was the friendly and accommodating staff. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warm smiles and attentive service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my dining experience was enjoyable, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring all my needs were met.“

“This is one of my go-to places in the DMV for Kbbq but the one thing that makes me hesitate to go here is the grilling service.First, when you have the sign to “YES”they grill the meats way too fast. We would be halfway through the first meat when the second serving is almost done cooking. By the third serving, the cooked meats are cold. They don’t match the grilling pace to the customer’s eating pace, so it’s not very enjoyable. During multiple visits, the servers ignored the “NO” sign on our table and we had to tell them that we would like to do it ourselves. It feels very rushed.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Tasty Korean bowls and more. The environment isn't too much to rave about, but the team there were very nice. The dining area can get tight considering how popular this place can get. This location and others share a small parking lot out front. We chose this location for its proximity to Fort Belvoir. You will order food and drinks at the counter and get a buzzer while they fix your food. I was hungry enough for a full size bowl, but they have lunch bowls which are smaller and more economical for those that do t want to fill up I ordered a spicy pork bowl, which had japchae, lettuce, spicy pork over a bowl of rice. I also ordered it with an egg. It was great and filling. I also tried out their sliders, which can be made out of any of the meats available, but I got a bulgogi slider which came with two mini burgers. It was all great. So good, my friend and her husband returned the very next day.“

“I really like the food here, especially the bulgogi and chicken teriyaki boxes. The complimentary sides you get with the box are quite refreshing, especially the kimchi, which I ended up finishing in one bite. The meats here are quite succulent, and I love how the juices drip onto the rice to create this popping, umami flavor. Green tea here was a nice refresher to satisfy my hunger.“

“Food was delicious!! It was freshly fried, crispy and juicy. I got sweet onion and hot red pepper. The place was very neat in appearance. Great to dine in and also to go! The server was kind and amazing to us. I would come back for sure next time :)) One of best Korean chicken experience.“

“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!“

“About time I review CHIKO. They recently reopened Barracks Row location for inside dining, and I’m thrilled. I’ve been coming here pretty regularly since they opened back in 2017, and it’s definitely one of my favorite spots in DC. My favorite dishes are the brisket and confit duck fried rice, but everything on the menu is fantastic. If you see something new (and you will), give it a shot because they definitely put a lot of creative energy and care into their dishes.Oh yeah, and their take out bags are adorbs.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We typically have found that restaurants with unappealing physical looks have the best food. Kimchi House is a prime example as the food and hospitality were second to none! I had the spicy chicken (chicken um bok) served with rice, sprouts, and marinated zucchini and radishes; and my wife had the Bimbimbop. To say we were satisfied would be an understatement. We learned they were closing down and not relocating (which was very sad since this is a great family-owned business), I wanted the recipe! By December 2023 this restaurant will be no more. Please, go enjoy an excellent meal and chat with the family running the business, because they’re kind and provide a quality cuisine that will surely be missed!“

“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.“

“Came to 9292 for the first time and left completely stuffed. We tried the unlimited bbq which was $37 per person. There were plenty of sides, which were constantly refilled (even before some of them were completely finished) and the edges of the grill have compartments for steamed egg, cheese corn, mushrooms and sprouts (which also were constantly refilled). The service is quite attentive and they like to come back to help cook the meats. The meat portions are massive!! We wanted to try multiple types of meat but by the time we finished our second choice, we were already pretty stuffed. I think it would've been nice to have smaller portions of each meat so we could try all that the menu had to offer. The grill is also small due to the sides cooking along the edges so it takes longer to cook the meat as well. Overall the flavors are good and it was a fun experience. Would return with small groups only - it may be hard to keep the meat cooking fast enough for a large group. Bonus - they give you a melon popsicle at the end! Side note- the place is fairly new but it felt very smoky with stale air, and the tables seemed a bit sticky/greasy.“

“First time coming here. Went with option B plus the all you can drink beer. Place over delivered!! Quality of meat was amazing. Thought maybe the LA Kalbi would've been super thin and lower quality to what Meat Project has done since they opened, but nope. High quality and perfect thickness to the ribs. The beer choices for the bottomless super exceeded my expectations. Included all drafts and some bottles Korean beer. Side dishes were amazing and so was the soybean paste stew. The only downside is I wish the soups were also ayce bc I would've gotten another soybean soup it was that good.“

“Been here a few time with my friends and it has been consistently a great time! The spot is nice, staff is very friendly and attentive, the rooms are well maintained, the tech is easy to navigate. There’s just a lot of good things I can say. I will warn you, the Karaoke is pricey (can’t remember off the top of my head) and the food is great but expensive, so eat beforehand if that is a concern for you.“

“I came here with my husband for ayce weekday lunch. It was only $20 a person for ayce lunch prices and pretty decent! I have pretty high standards for kbbq since I grew up in California with plenty of options to choose from. My husband thought it was really good for the price and I also enjoyed it, but it didn't quite hit the spot for me. Overall, the service was great and I felt like it was a decent spot.“

“Nice weather today 60s, we are seating outside. Entertained with Mexican music from neighbor. Food comes fast, the service is excellent, staff asking what we need frequently, they fill up water and bring extra napkins. We enjoy the food, love the fusion taste. Orange Chicken is very unique, it is crispy!! Until next time.“

“Very friendly and accommodating staff! I had the passion fruit iced tea and didn’t like it but they gladly offered me an exchange for the mango sago yogurt drink and it was delicious! The donuts I got were taro, funnel cake and strawberry. The taro was my favorite and the funnel was delicious, the strawberry was okay. The place is kind of hard to find, it’s right next to a karaoke bar. Overall, I would definitely recommend.“
