29 Best Korean Restaurants in Centreville

“Personally, I think it’s a shame!
There is no pretty Hangul in our country?
On the signboard ? and on the menu ?
King Sejong the Great too ???
Jjolmyeon and shrimp fried rice are delicious.
Sirak snacks in Chantilly
Is it a franchise owned by the same owner?“

“I came here with some friends for dinner and had a great time. This is definitely one of the best authentic Korean restaurants in the area. At the time that we visited, there were a lot of people there. Be ready to wait a few minutes during the dinner rush and stay because the food is so worth it.

We ordered the homemade kalguksoo noodles with broth (100% I’ll be back to try the spicy version too), cheese donkatsu (crispy and good blend of cheese, the macaroni salad was perfect, salad and rice a great balance), stir fry octopus (newer item that was cooked perfectly, very tender and delicious), and seafood soondubu (spicy tofu soup with a unique broth different from the other soondubu restaurants in the area). This was definitely more than enough for four people to share. I really enjoyed each entrée that we ordered. They have several different signature dishes, including bossam, and also new items not yet listed on the menu. I’ll be back to try more food here! We were so excited about the food that we didn’t have a chance to take pictures of everything.

Parking was easy and free. Great service and kind staff who spoke to us in Korean and English.“

“Nice place! Food was great and friendly service.“

“Amazing!! Not only was the service impecable, but the food was absolutely delicious! This will be our next go-to spot! You have to try the spicy fried potstickers 🥟 , don katsu, and Jjajangmyeon, with a cold Hite beer. 🍺 Hands down one of the friendliest restaurant owners I’ve ever met. I can’t wait to go back!!!“

“Good food and excellent service.“

“We went to this restaurant today.Food and service are super excellent.“

“Great food i come many times“

“I ordered bibimbap and was surprised when I opened the lid. I have never seen a restaurant put so many different kinds of vegetables in bibimbap. And it was so tasty. Previously, I ordered sundubu and it was really delicious too. I highly recommend this place.“

“My family and I stopped by while traveling thru town. We ordered Bulgogi and Dak Kalgooksoo. Their Banchan were flavorful with the right balance of spice and heat. Entrée portions are generous. Our server was helpful and very nice. We were pretty happy to find this restaurant.“

“This place is a fun Korean restaurant, featuring meats (seasoned as you like, spicy or not) and seafood cooked at your table on a gas BBQ. Sides come with it and other dishes like japchae and soups are also available. Feed a group very well and be out in an hour! Only complaint is that it's very noisy, not the best for conversations. We had to wait for them to assemble a table for 7 people (no reservation), otherwise there would have been no wait.“

“This one of my go-to places in Centerville. Today, Kimbop has changed a bit. Carrots were uncooked, normally they were stir-fried. Hope it's fixed next time.

It tastes better to make kimbap with stir-fried carrots, but I don't know if it was a mistake, but I was a little disappointed that the carrots in today's kimbap were not cooked at all. Still, I gave it 5 stars because it's a place I go to often.“

“This place is the best for soft tofu soup but I was craving some cold noodles, which were not in season yet. But they made a custom cold noodle dish for me with buckwheat noodles (bibim guksu)
and it was AMAZING. Unfortunately I was too excited to take a photo before eating it but if you love cold spicy noodles, please ask for this as it’s not on menu. It even had frozen watermelon balls in it, which was such a nice subtle sweet surprise. With fresh lettuce, cucumbers and boiled egg, it was like a home cooked Korean dish my mom would make.“

“TLDR: One of the few places in the DMV serving Korean raw crabs. Come for both the spicy and soy marinaded crabs as well as the gukbop.

. Located in a small shopping center in Centerville, Hwangbooja has a simple layout. With around 10 4-top tables, the dining room is a single area with the kitchen in the back. The restaurant is clean and has English translations throughout the restaurant for those that do not speak Korean. 4 tops can be pushed together, making it suitable for large groups. The entire restaurant only had Korean diners at lunch, which is always a good sign for the food authenticity.

. My party of 2 came on a Thursday for lunch when the place was empty. The lone server mostly spoke Korean, but the menu is conveniently written with both Korean and English translations together so point to order is an option. Food came out exceptionally fast and the same with settling up on the bill when complete.

. Finding quality raw Korean crab in the DMV is a challenge, but fortunately Hwangbooja delivers. They offer both spicy and soy varieties, with each order coming with approximately 5-6 cut up crabs. The flavors of both the spicy and soy marinaded crabs are robust and bursting with the taste of garlic. The sweetness of the raw crab meat plays nicely with the savory flavors of both preparations. The idea of consuming raw crab meat may scare even the most seafood friendly folk, but squishy texture makes the eating experience enjoyable, as you must slurp the meat out of the shell while using your teeth to press the meat out of the shells. The crustaceans come at a cost, with a single order coming in at $28, but it's well worth the cost of admission . The gukbop was also noteworthy, with heavy notes of garlic and a beyond soul warming pork broth that is perfect for a cold day. We recently traveled to Busan and had gukbop several times and having it at Hwangbooja brought me back. Overall, if you are in the mood for some tasty crabs and traditional Korean food, this is the place.“

“Today I place an order around noon for delivery at 9:00pm. I order the dish Soondae+Bossam, the order came right at 9:00pm on the dot. This little girl came out the car name Jenny with mask and gloves(due to all the virus going around)... very professional and clean. Food was great 10 out of 10. Would strongly recommend eatting here!“

“**Evergreen Korean Cuisine**
On a chilly, rain-soaked evening, I sought the comforting warmth of Evergreen Korean Cuisine—a place I’ve visited several times for its authentic offerings. This visit proved no exception, delivering satisfying flavors that truly hit the spot.

The seafood pancake, while not the absolute best I’ve encountered, held its own with a generous scattering of green onions and a crisp texture. A respectable choice, though not necessarily a standout.

What took me by surprise were the soups, which far exceeded expectations. The short rib beef soup arrived with an understated appearance but revealed layers of rich, savory depth. The beef was impeccably tender, practically melting with each bite—a dish worthy of two enthusiastic thumbs up.

The cod stew followed a similar trajectory, its humble presentation belying a broth brimming with flavor and perfectly cooked fish.

Every dish ordered tonight brought genuine comfort and satisfaction. I’m eager to return and explore more of Evergreen’s menu—it’s a spot that consistently delivers warmth and authenticity.“

“Delish !! Fun time hanging out eating with a group of people !“

“Service and food are excellent, coming back again and again.“

“Update: They’ve changed! No more less meat! And nicer servers! Great to see businesses actually reading reviews! Five stars.

No issues with soup but yes, less meat claims are true. You can easily find other places in area with way more meat. The servers are a bit bossy and rude.“

“Affordable AYCE KBBQ with big variety of meat choices! And they give lots of different side dishes as well!“

“This place was a pride of Koreans in the DMV area, a place that’s comparable to NJ or LA where all the good Korean restaurants are located; however, can’t say that anymore. Every menu here became ordinary. They are not bad but it doesn’t give me goosebumps like it used to. Especially Soondaetang became so average that I can’t even call this place Soondae specialty place. Again, still pretty good compared to other restaurants selling soondaetang, but would not give more than 4 stars here.“

“Ordered online for pickup. Food was not ready as stated. Had to wait 15 additional minutes before food was ready. Staff member was nice but a young guy. Staff member checked the bag before giving me my food to go. Took the food to the office and realized that Bonchon forgot to include my kimchi that I ordered. I called back up to the restaurant to make it known and the young staff member answered. He didn't seem to care too much about forgetting to put my kimchi in the bag and he gave a half hearted "I'm sorry".“

“Wanted to try something different than the usual Honey Pig or Iron Age. Dropped in and was welcomed by a friendly staff. Ordered the seafood pancakes, fried rice and bulgogi! Food arrived quick along with the usual sides. The food was fantastic and the portions were huge! Definitely coming back here!“

“One of the most efficient and quick restaurants I have ever seen with an almost overwhelmingly large menu. It’s also cheap to boot. I really like their jjajangmyeon which is always a good choice. Today I got their pork fried rice with jjajang sauce for the first time to vary it up. It was definitely good but I think the noodles are better. My SO got the Szechuan Seafood Jjangmyeon which tasted pretty good. It’s got a bit of a kick but not that spicy. I also really like their choice of banchan because they’re some of my favorite ones.“

“Great food and service, very friendly staff. I love both locations.“

“super tasty. 🌽 dogs are bomb.“

“I had the pleasure of experiencing a taste that brought me back to Korea in the 1990s. The flavor of the chicken here perfectly captured the nostalgic essence of my youth, reminding me of the simpler and happier times of my younger days. The seasoning and texture were exactly how I remembered it—deliciously comforting and full of rich, authentic flavors. It’s not just food; it’s a trip down memory lane. I’m so grateful to have found a place that can recreate such cherished memories through their amazing dishes. Highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a taste of nostalgia or simply great food!“

“Food was amazing 🤩 if you love steak 🥩 you must come here!!! We will be back soon for round two 🤣“

“Best Korean fried chicken in DMV period. Lots of great choices but my personal underrated favorite is the Curry Snow Wings. Amazing kick to it. I highly recommend trying this place.“

“My favorite cake in the world is made here! (Sweet potato cake). I am pretty sure this is the cake I will have for my birthday for the rest of my life.“
