It has been several years since my last visit, and I realized I never had the chance to write a review. The owner is an exceptionally generous and humble individual, and his warmth and kindness left a lasting impression on me. The food is comforting and homely—good, if not exceptional—but the overall experience is enhanced by the owner’s remarkable hospitality. God bless ♥️

Not your Average Joe
Taste like complete trash. Found a hair in one of the dishes. Saw a mouse hole in the side of the wall where I was seated. So disgusting

Kangchon is hands down one of the most authentic Korean restaurants in Centreville, Virginia. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the cozy, no-frills atmosphere that makes it feel like a true neighborhood spot in Korea. The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, savory and comforting—just like homemade.
Their side dishes are generous and always well-seasoned, which sets the tone for the meal. The soondubu soft tofu stew and galbi - marinated short ribs - are absolutely outstanding, packed with bold flavors that instantly transport you back to Korea. If you’re craving something hearty, their kimchi jjigae (spicy kimchi stew) and mae-woon-tang (spicy fish stew) as well as ji-ri (white meat fish stew shown in the photo) are excellent choices.
What I love most about Kangchon is its dedication to staying true to traditional Korean cooking. It’s not trendy or watered down—it’s the real deal, the kind of place where Korean families gather for comfort food. Also, don't miss out Koreanized Chinese dishes that often make me feel nostalgic about my old time in Korea.
If you’re looking for authentic Korean cuisine in Northern Virginia, Kangchon is a gem you don’t want to miss.

Stellar food. Lots of takeaways. People don’t understand basic things like jjampong has no rice and has noodle instead. So understand what you order- they serve Korean-grade authentic Korean-Chinese food.

My family and I love Kangchon and it has been our go-to spot for years. The food always comes out piping hot and their service is very good too. We especially love the jam bbong and the jangmyun! We also got the crispy pork and shrimp tang su yook which was amazing per usual. We highly recommend Kangchon and will always come back.

This place has good food and even better service. Thank you to the young waitress for taking care of us!
Unnecessarily rude employees with terrible service. Used to come here often but it’s just not the same anymore for food quality. Will not visit again

Authentic Korean restaurant! Food was great!

Though not great, it's not too bad. If they could replicate the taste of Jajangmyun from Korea, this place would get packed. Why they don't is a mystery.

Tapped water taste is Awful... This is not my first visit. I ate kong guk su this afternoon. this is one of my favorite food in summer season and ate here many times before. I never had any issue other than a little salty for me but today, I thought it was a kid's meal! Paying $16.95 for this is a ridiculous.
