50 Best Korean Restaurants near Burke

“It was pleasant surprise when I tasted BBQ Kalbi. The meat was so fresh and tender. Quality was so Good! The blackBean Soup has same taste like what my mom cooked for me over 50years ago. Service was good as well. I strongly recommend this restaurant.“

“It’s a really nice store.“

“This place is a FIVE stars for one simple reason, the food is incredible! Prices are more so reasonable for the portions too. The soups are made of broth, not water. The fried food is always white, not dark cause the oil changed and not just topped off. I never had any problem with the staff or service cause I treat them with respect. They can make any anything more or less spicy, just need to ask. They're always sanitizing when I visit.“

“The food is flavorful, and staff are very friendly. Highly recommend.“

“Zane was my waiter and he provided the most kind and patient service. I’ve ever had here and I come here often.“

“The service was top notch. Our server was attentive and provided excellent service. We were there for a birthday and my son's favorite is the marinated Kalbi and it typically always gets cooked last. Seeing that as my son was waiting the server said he would add a note to my reservation for the future so it gets cooked first so my son doesn't have to wait. :) The meat quality was excellent! I would say though since I been to this restaurant several times in the past, the amount of meat per the pre fixe menu definitely has decreased. In any case, excellent service and great meat quality! Will always go back!“

“Friendly service and great food.“

“Friendly service! We came in without a reservation and they were able to accommodate us quickly. The rose tteokbokki is soooo delicious!!!! Highly recommend!! The prices are reasonable and their food is delicious - definitely a new favorite in the DMV area!“

“I got a fever, and the only prescription is KPOT. Our second time going, and this may be our new favorite restaurant. Kudos to Dale for giving us an awesome dining experience yet again.“

“Sorimmara Annandale delivers a truly refined Korean dining experience. Every dish is beautifully prepared, showcasing fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, and exquisite presentation. The service is equally impressive — warm, attentive, and effortlessly professional.

A perfect blend of authenticity and sophistication, Sorimmara stands out as one of Annandale’s finest restaurants. Highly recommended for those seeking elevated Korean cuisine and impeccable hospitality.“

“Yummy Korean fast food, k-pop, and nice staff!“

“Came for dessert after dinner at the plaza next door, and we got the Red Bean Bingsoo. Love that they use shaved milk, and not shaved ice 🥹 it is on the pricier end for the amount of bingsoo you get (the V-shaped bowl is slightly deceptive), but every bite was worth it.

Saw that there was a self-serve ramen bar, so I’d definitely come back here with friends next time!“

“I don't usually write reviews but I must say despite being a bit unassuming at first glance, this is one of the best meals I have had since moving to the DMV area almost a year ago. Absolutely delicious bulgogi and sides, and a good value at that. It's a bit of a drive for me but I need to go back!! Highly recommended.“

“Hello Hunny Bees!! 🌻🐝 👑 💛💕It's your girl Hunny back with a review of another local small business.

They were so warming and explained the dishes to me. The portion was a little small but overall very tasty 😋

Check them out and tell them Hunny sent you!“

“Wow! There hasn’t been a good hibachi place near Vienna, and I’m so glad this place offers it now! Their Korean fried chicken has always been delicious, so I come here often. This time, I tried their new menu item — the Shrimp Steak Hibachi with extra shrimp. It was a bit sweet for my taste, but the portion was generous and it was really tasty. It’s much more affordable than fancy teppanyaki restaurants, and the value is amazing. I love that I can enjoy chicken, hibachi, tteokbokki, and beer all in one place. Highly recommend!“

“I recently visited Makchang Dodok K-BBQ, and it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive. They made us feel right at home, walking us through the menu and offering helpful suggestions for first-timers. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience for their guests.

The service was fast and efficient without feeling rushed. Our server kept checking in to make sure everything was cooked to our liking and that our drinks and side dishes were always full. It’s rare to find such a friendly and professional team at a busy restaurant, and they truly stood out.

As for the food—delicious! The meats were fresh and flavorful, and the signature makchang (beef or pork intestine) was perfectly prepared with that satisfying char. If you’re a fan of authentic Korean BBQ, this place delivers both in taste and atmosphere.

Highly recommend for a casual night out, a group dinner, or anyone looking to try something new with excellent service to match. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Solid korean street food. Dish is $13 which is crazy cheap but great food. You can order large variety of dishes and try sharing. Food also comes out pretty quick. The restaurant interior is shabby so not your usual date-night spot. But a quick and cheap decent korean street food.“

“IVY and ANDREA are the best waitresses there by far. 🇻🇳🇹🇭 It was my first time. IVY and ANDREA has great menu knowledge and ensured it was a great time. IVY and ANDREA were working hard, always cleaning, and having fun. They kept smiling! IVY and ANDREA kept the bar clean by making sure I had everything I needed for dining at the bar.

Those waitresses are AMAZING!!! ANDREA and IVY are beyond exemplary, very patient, and very friendly and informative with menu choices.

Every other employee there was mostly forgettable. Next time you go, ask to sit with them.

Tell the Managers to give ANDREA and IVY a pay bump and pay raise!!! ASAP!

Thank you, IVY and ANDREA! 🇻🇳🇹🇭“

“Entrees are a $17 and up but the portions are big. It's a food court so I only tipped 10% but I guess you could also not tip. Pictures show 3 entrees but we got 4. Two of them were the bolgogi beef.

If we had gone to a restaurant then it would have cost more than $120 but here it was $80. My seafood ramen was good and huge. Husband enjoyed his katsua chicken and dad & son enjoyed their bulgogi rice bowls.

The food court was empty, but clean.“

“Got the chicken and rib combo . the chicken was super tender and moist, and the ribs were meaty and tender as well . It was very good and the gentlemen that I picked up the food from , was very nice and friendly. and the place looked beautiful on the inside . I must go and have a sit down. thanks for a great meal !“

“Come sing at the bar! Room! With great food and drinks!!“

“You have got to ask for Jay Kim, he is the best server in the house. He was patient and ever so helpful with us as first time hot potters. I had a vegetarian hot pot, well, except for the dumplings. Although they have no vegetarian options, he worked with me and provided me with an alternate option. It would be more awesome for them to add it to their menu tho for those of us who just love veggies. The broth is vegetarian based so it makes sense to have a vegetarian option along with it. We had a party of 8 and Jay Kim made it so much fun!!! The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh. One other option that would have been great to have would be fresh ginger at the sauce bar and mushrooms on the vegetable plate. We were all pleasantly pleased with our food. The ambiance is very nice, low light but more than enough to cook and enjoy each other's company. Jay Kim made sure we always had what we needed. The sauce bar was amazing, so many choices. I recommend making a few bowls, some for the broth and and some for dipping your cooked food. If you get any type of meat, also make a sauce to marinade the meat. You don't have to but it made a good difference. Meats are thinly sliced for quick cooking and again,so fresh. The price was worth the amount of food and the experience. There is an all you can eat option or an a la carte option where you just get one meat selection and a vegetable plate which was more than enough for us as a party of young ladies. This was a great first hot pot experience and I definitely recommend it, just make sure to ask for Jay Kim. I know you will enjoy it!!!“

“This place’s jjolmyeon is amazing. I had it last week and was blown away by how fresh and chewy it was.
Today I tried the spicy tuna gimbap, tuna gimbap, and rose tteokbokki, and once again—so impressed.
I’m so happy I found this great spot.
Oh! The staff were incredibly friendly, and the service was fast too. 😄
ㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡㅡ
(Update)
I placed a large order from Myeongga Gimbap today, and they packed it in a big tray. Thanks to that, it was a huge hit at the meeting! The packaging was so beautiful, thank you so much!“

“Had the Spicy Pork Lunch box and it was absolutely delicious! The pork was incredibly tender and bursting with flavor. The rice was cooked perfectly and the sides were crisp and fresh. The staff were friendly and attentive and the price was very reasonable. If you are ever in the area, I heartily recommend Korean Grill!“

“I have been searching for a place that could make dumplings that tasted like my hominis since she passed away. I have found it here, I will never go anywhere else. When it comes to authentic Korean food this is the place to go. Everything is delicious“

“I can say this is one of my personal favorite to go, especially during summer when it’s so hot outside and I am craving for something to cool down.

Owners are very friendly and always greet you with smile. It’s a self-serve restaurant in a food court, but they answer your questions in a nice manner and appreciates you dining with them.

The food is so gooood. Cold buckwheat soba is a must-try here, especially during summer. There is a bowl of sauce that you mix wasabi and minced raddish, and you put buckwheat noodles into the sauce and eats it from there. Other buckwheat noodle dish are solid as well if you want something warm or hot to heat you up.

Over the summer, I go to this restaurant at least once a month, if not more. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to eat healthy noodles with diverse flavor.“

“You should try eat in here. The foods are excellent and professional to service.I really love eat in here.“

“I had rented a karaoke room for myself and I thought the price was reasonable, though I'm not sure how long you could stay in it but I was in there for about 2 hours- not bad. I had the Tteok-bokki, which the serving size was in a large plate and it was a good size because I thought it was too big for just myself but I finished it. The bartenders were very fun and kept me company when I went and sat at the bar. They are cute people! I recommend this karoake bar!“

“Must Try place with unique flavors BBQ, bowls,Burritos,Taco's, Korean flavor Burgers are amazing must try Bulgogi Fries“

“The yukgaejang was so, so good! It’s the best in the area and the best I’ve had in a long time. I love their radish kimchi. My honey ordered the oxtail soup and it was also great. Along with the oxtail were the most flavorful tendon bits. I look forward to trying their other items.“

“The staff were very welcoming when I entered the restaurant. My girlfriend and I sat at the bar, and the bartenders were extremely friendly — the service was excellent. The food and drinks were great, and the owner even gave us a couple of pieces of sashimi to try, which were amazing! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to enjoy a fun night out with friends.“

“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.“

“Best K BBQ in the area!! Authentic ban chan side dishes and seasonings, organic and fresh produce, high quality and generous portion of food.

Catering, authentic Korean ban chan side dishes, desserts, etc. available immediately next door to the restaurant.

Nondescript area so use Google Maps closely. Ample parking available in front, side, and back.“

“Yen Yen has such a wonderful personality, she made us feel comfortable and genuinely welcomed. She wasn’t just providing service , she made us feel like valued guests.We love her energy ! It’s easy to see why this restaurant has such high ratings. It’s not only because of the amazing food, but also because of the outstanding service.“

“The service was excellent. I like the special treat in the end. Glad we decided to go here.“

“I opted for delivery. The food was still hot when it got to me. The jajangmyeon was really savory and paired well with all the kimchi that came with it. I also ordered a side of veggie dumplings and also went well with the black bean sauce.“

“Food Delicious! And the staff super kind and friendly! Totally recomendable!“

“Unassuming exterior. Delicious delicious delicious food. Since I moved to the US from Korea 7 years ago, I’ve never been able to find a great bunsik (분식) place. That is, until now. This place is even better than most places in Korea nowadays.

We ordered the Holic Sampler + Udon. I was shocked at how tasty everything was. The sundae (순대) isn’t the most typical frozen kind. The 김말이 is clearly made in-house. The fried dumplings were full of filling, and overall the tempura (튀김) was light and very well executed. The kimbap was some of the best I’ve had in the US, with a very generous portion of egg inside. Udon was on-point, I appreciated the addition of 쑥갓 (I wish they gave more, but many places don’t give you any). And on top of it all, this place has great prices compared to other places serving similar fare.

If you’ve never tried bunshik, or if you’re a Korean living in the US with a years-long unfulfilled craving, I would definitely recommend this place.“

“This Korean takeout establishment is conveniently located within H-Mart in Falls Church. I have enjoyed trying various dishes here, and today, I opted for the Ox Knee Soup. It was pretty enjoyable, with a rich and flavorful cow bone soup enhanced by some delightful pieces of ox cartilage. The overall quality was satisfactory. The ordering process was efficient, with my food ready in 10 minutes. I appreciated that the staff was not seeking tips, which contributed to a pleasant service experience, and I found the prices reasonable. For those interested in dining, tables and chairs are available for guests.“

“Great Korean spot! The army stew came in a huge portion — easily enough for 3–4 people to share. The pork katsu was a bit on the harsh side for my taste, but still decent. It’s a solid place for late-night eats, especially for night owls, but keep in mind that although they close at 2, the kitchen shuts down a little earlier.( Been there once around 11, was told their kitchen was closed) Overall, good food and worth checking out!“

“I started ordering from SB Hans every other day for myself and/or coworkers about 6 months ago as they've quickly become our favorite, and they have yet to disappoint me. They provide quality food, efficient packaging and excellent customer service. The employees recognize my name at this point and greet me with such gratitude and warmth it almost makes me shy. Great spot for korean food, their pictures closely resemble what you get.“

“Great food and hospitality can’t wait to come back! Food was piping hot and complimentary condiments were delicious! My fish was perfectly cooked!“

“We went on Saturday around 6 pm and were able to find parking. Food and service were excellent. Not very busy. However, they are known for more late night business.

Keeping this review here from December 2025 or so: 3 stars
We have been trying to go here with no success. There is never amy parking even after sitting in the parking lot for 15 mins waiting on someone to come out. Surrounding parking areas are blocked off or have towing signs posted. We will keep trying to go, however, since the reviews are good.“

“sooo...this is my favorite spot in the entire NCR. The food is excellent, the service is excellent, and the accommodations and ambiance create holiday memories to remember!“

““Karaoke, great drinks, and an excellent staff make this a great night destination for someone looking to have a good time with friends. The food is also great, presenting many exotic and delicious dishes, as well as the old classics. The place itself looks amazing, with a great night ambiance, complete with hanging lights and great music. And did I mention the super-fun karaoke?.”“

“So many good dishes to try. Four of us shared Combination Tofu Soup ($14.99), Beef and Pork Tofu Soup ($14.99), Bibim Bab ($15.99), and Jeyuk ($23.99). Everything, including the sides, was delicious. Great food and service, reasonable prices.“

“This is one of the best Korean bbq spots in the area. The food is phenomenal and it it’s also one of the most affordable places that I have been to. It can get busy at night so either call ahead or expect to be on a wait list. The wait is worth it though. Parking can also be a challenge when you show up at a busy time so be prepared for that. This is my go to spot when I want to feast.“

“Gene was an awesome job! Food was great. I can't wait to bring my family back.“

“Wonderful service and equally wonderful food ! So glad to have good quality Korean food in our local community!“

“Music was fun and there was a good variety of meat. Our server, Carlos, really drove the great experience! We were a big group of 10 people celebrating my friend's birthday, and he managed to help all of us promptly! He cooked between two grills efficiently and was friendly the entire time. Thanks, Carlos!“
