Yi's Traditional Korean Beef Soup

Clean and simple menu with great taste.

broths are good and clean.
bit pricey, but thats everywhere nowadays.
scallion pancakes (too much flour) and was like $26 ~

we were party of four but 18% gratiuity was added (regularly, party of 5 or more).

im usually 20% tipper, so I didnt say anything.

all in all, good food and services if you like korean broths.

Cold noodle not worth the money.just half egg and spring oiion.,no flavor

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.

very yummy and the staff are very nice. kimchi is amazing

This is my personal pick me up spot. This is the place for Seolleongtang!! The Seolleongtang in general is great for collagen. I love the flavor of it. I would always have a healthy amount of kimchi and radish. The kimchi is one of the best I've had. It's not too sour or anything. It's perfect. I would always order extra with my meal. Even buying a whole container to take home. The food is so good, I used to order there once a week for one or two months straight!! The staff is always super nice and sweet. When eating there, the space is good. Sometimes it gets really busy, but it never felt crowded.

Enjoyed food, but to go box charge was a shock. 25cents.

This is THE place for seolongtang in NoVa. They offer three different types, and they are all so very good.
However, their radish kimchi 깍두기 imo is the main star. It's so damn good and luckily you can purchase them separately to take them home. They are very generous with their 깍두기 as we get them refilled at least three times on a visit.

Will likely go there more often as it's getting colder.

Came in for lunch. We had to season our Seolleongtang ourselves with salt provided on the table, which I assume is traditional. But once seasoned, the soup was delicious. It was served with a bowl of purple rice and 2 kimchis, which were both excellent counter points to the rich broth. We also got the seafood pancake which was packed with calamari, shrimp and scallions. Between the two of us, we could only finish half of the pancake along with our beef soups. It was a little on the pricey side, but definitely worth it!

The woman with glasses who glared at the customer in front of her because she didn't give him 20% and was still rude...

Despite all the bad reviews from their early operations, their service and quality of food drastically got improved. This place became my go to korean soul food: Gookbab(beef broth soup). Their broth was very savory and full of beef flavor. The meat in the soup was very tender and had no smell when I had it.

Went here twice before. Great quality food and attentive staff. Spicy tofu soup with beef was delicious. The Kim chi is really good too and comes with the soup on the side along with rice and pickled radish.

Great service, friendly female staff and delicious broth/Seolleongtang always great when feeling like something cozy and filling. I like that their broth is very milky and white, and not diluted. Overall tastes fresh

Dined in for lunch. Impressed by the rich quality of the beef broth and how soft the tendon was. Mandu were cooked well but nothing crazy. Their kimchi is spicier than other kimchi in the area which was interesting. Prices are a bit high for the amount of meat you receive but overall a good spot to dine in Centreville.
