50 Best Korean Restaurants near Falls Church

“We had an absolutely amazing dinner at Seoul Prime last night. The private room was beautifully designed and provided the perfect atmosphere for a business meeting dinner. The service was professional, attentive, led by our wonderful server Yen Yen. Her warm and engaging personality made the entire evening truly fun and delightful. It was an exceptional dining experience from start to finish.“

“Muy excelente lugar nos encanta venir y compartir con la familia su atención es más que excelente servicio completamente recomendado“

“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.“

“Used to be one my favorite places for Korean bbq, and was high on my list of places to recommend to others, but with each visit I have noticed the portion size getting smaller. I feel like the price to meat ratio now is becoming a bit unfair (at least for me). Hence, 4 stars.“

“The service was great and the food was even better!! Great place to go with family or friends! Love the atmosphere and would definitely recommend for all! The service you get there is exceptional!!“

“Excellent Wings! Drove in from Ashburn. 5 Stars!“

“Everything was perfect! I would recommend this place“

“Absolute 5 star experience with a special shoutout to our server, Chaewon, who made it feel like a Michelin dining experience. I made a reservation for two on a Saturday night to celebrate a birthday. Booking a week in advance, the prime time dinner hours between 6pm and 9pm were already limited. So I highly recommend booking in advance. Upon arriving 15 minutes early, we were greeted by the hostess and seated with little to no wait (~2 minutes). Upon being seated, our table was already set for two and we were quickly greeted by our server, Chaewon. After she explained the menu and the dining experience, we elected to go with the Dinner Prix Fixe option, which was $80 per person, and included multiple cuts of meat, a welcome dish (currently a Pumpkin Porridge), a side, an appetizer, a savory dish per person, and a dessert per person. The Dinner Prix Fixe is absolutely the way to go when dining here and we were more than stuffed. We typically do the all you can eat type of restaurant for Korean BBQ, but this place easily topped those in taste and experience. Every single meat was tender and literally melts in your mouth. I also want to just reemphasize the point about the Michelin star-like service. There wasn't a single second where we felt like we were waiting for anything or questioning anything we ate. Food came out super quickly with perfect spacing between dishes. Every aspect of the meal was described in detail as it was cooked and served. Water was constantly refilled. The table was cleaned thoroughly after the main meal and before serving dessert with fresh new utensils. To top it off, as we left the restaurant, our server personally took the time and effort to open the door for us as we exited. So if you're looking for Korean BBQ or just a fantastic dining experience in general, I HIGHLY recommend dining at Ingle and asking for Chaewon to be your server.“

“So definitely not what you expect outside looking in. The bar like atmosphere is very chill, from the music to the seating. Pick a comfy couch with a table or regular comfortable seats at a table (equally comfortable). The lighting low and all good vibes. The food was delicious we forgot to take pictures, but the kimchi pancake (kimchi jeon) the Korean fried chicken and the bulgolgi quesadilla were all delicious. We like Korean better than anything else so we had Krush with honey do soju aka (somaek) the two were great together. The staff was awesome, and very chill (if you need constant attention from your server this is not the place for you, honestly). We loved the service, food and drinks came out in a reasonable time. I also had the Hechi (cocktail) it was delicious. Ordering isn't them coming to ask but an electronic screen with the full menu with pictures so very easy to order. Overall an awesome experience and will definitely be back!!!“

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

“Just listen to the crispy sound!

Ordered 10 pc plain wings and half chicken with supreme sauce. They did fantastic job on both orders.

The wings. Crispy outside, juicy inside. Piping hot. We had it yesterday. My gf is already saying we need to go back to get the wings again.

Now, the supreme...
Supposed to be garlicy, overly sweet, slightly spicy, almost creamy from white mayo sauce, and most importantly soaked in the sauce. They nailed it and have it exactly the way I remember it from my childhood in the 90s. Other establishments of Cheogajip generally do a decent job but often go easy on the sauce and kind of ruins the whole point of this particular recipe imo. Not enough sauce applies to other popular franchieses these days too. But not here. 200% satisfied with how they prepared it 🙂🙂

Never expected to find a chicken place that would bring me nostalgia in VA. Will probably go here at least once a month.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We've been to many, and this is the best Korean BBQ in the entire DMV. The food quality is so good and the service and atmosphere were above and beyond. They have extensive menu options outside of the KBBQ as well, which is something a lot of other places don't offer. The meats are quite pricy, which was the only downside, but the entree prices seemed fair. We can't wait to go back!“

“Thank you so much for the great experience. The drinks were good. Service was better. The food was good too!

100% recommend for a good time with your friends! The best part is that i can talk with my friends and hear them. 10/10“

“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.“

“This is the perfect spot for comforting, homey Korean food. Their menu has all the classics to fill your craving — we wanted to order one of everything! Food was delicious. Recommend the boiled pork belly and kimbap. We got to enjoy our meal out on the porch.“

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

“The line at chipotle nearby was so long at lunch I decided to give this a try and I’m glad I did. I asked the staff for their help in building a bowl since it was my first time and ended up with a delicious chicken bowl with half rice/half veggie base. Yum! Lots of great flavor and love the sauces on top too!“

“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“

“Ive been coming to bar for the past 4 years and the reason I always come back is because the service/food is always consistent and amazing. The two managers there always do their best to accommodate you. The prices for drinks are great if you compare them to DC. If you are looking for a a fun and great time, this is it!“

“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.“

“Food was really good and our server was extremely friendly and attentive. We ordered the kimchee fried rice, soondobue (tofu), and the bibimbap as our main and they were all delicious. We also loved the Jun, Korean pancake, which was extra crispy!“

“Very good little deli that makes homemade food and has convience store items and great snacks and beverages. Just a little treat of a place. Solid Bulgogi Korean wrap. The cafe and deli is inside a larger building on the first floor to the left when you come in the front door...“

“You can’t get better soup than from a place that specializes in it. The seollongtang had plenty of noodles and meat. The galbitang had a savory broth, lots of meat — great flavor all around. The haemul pajeon was crispy and stuffed with seafood.

The standout item was the kong-guksu. Dad had been craving it as it was a favorite of his in childhood. He has tried it at other places and wasn’t impressed. Here, he finished the whole thing and would’ve licked the bowl clean.

Note: the soups are under-salted so you can customize them to your liking. The salt containers on each table have enough salt to please any saltaholic.“

“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.“

“I'm the idiot for ordering tonkatsu at a korean restaurant. Although the reviews for it seemed positive, mine was bland and not crispy. The tofu seafood stew was fire enough for me to give the tonkatsu a pass and still give the restaurant five stars. I also appreciate the side of danmuji and kimchi. Can't wait to come back to try the kimbap.“

“Excellent food, superb service and great portions! Totally worth the money.“

“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.“

“The spicy seafood noodle soup here is absolutely the best! Packed with fresh seafood and just the right amount of heat, it’s flavorful and comforting. The service was also very nice—friendly and attentive. I loved every bite and can’t wait to come back for more. Highly recommend!“

“It’s a really nice store.“

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

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

“Great cheap eats! Got the ham and cheese egg toast and it was amazing. The sauce they put on it was so good. Also got the cheddar dog with potatoes and it was just alright. Everything was very affordable and the location is great. Plenty of seating in the food court area“

“Reliable restaurant for authentic and good Korean food. We usually get marinated galbi and mul naeng myun (cold buckwheat noodles). You know a place is good when most the clientele is Korean lol. Prices are a bit high but that seems to be the trend everywhere post pandemic.“

“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.“

“We were in town too see the Cherry Blossoms. While looking for something quick to eat, we stumbled upon SeoulSpice. I have been craving my mother's cooking... You guys are the closest to her cooking that I teared up while eating.... All the way to the last bite. 😋 And then we went again the next night!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everything was delicious! Can’t wait to go back!! The sauces I need to be bottled, they were so good!! I loved the lemongrass pork!!!“

“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.“

“I went on a Korean food tour in Annandale Virginia visiting K-Town. Our tour guide was Mina with Virginialicious....highly recommended. Red-Holic was the first stop on the tour. The food was delicious. We had the Gimbap/kimbap (seaweed rice roll; they have 10 different types!), tteokbokki (sweet and spicy rice cakes). Dipping the Gimbap/kimbap in the tteokbokki was everything. The food was really good. I definitely recommend!“

“10/10 experience! Showed up around 7:30ish and all the drinks at the bar were so good. It was all a good ratio and the bartender was 20/10 the best bartender! Thank you Omar!! Took care of me and my best friend all night making sure we were comfortable and okay.“

“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!“

“This is one of my favorite spot! The bowl taste absolutely delicious, purple rice and glass noodles with grill chicken or Steak bowl taste so good! Plus triple A sauces! Super Delicious!! Service was excellent too! Definitely come back again soon! Thank you very much!“

“The staff were extremely helpful but more importantly the food was delicious! We ordered the tofu soup which is such a comfort food especially during fall and winter. You get to pick the spice level of pretty much everything and the portions were extremely generous. Overall a delightful experience and I would recommend on a cold night!“

“Great beef intestines, so flavored with the special sauce. The all you can eat is well deserved, good quality of meat and small plates; they changed grill plate frequently. Good service, good price. No recommend the seafood pancake since there is Zero seafood no flavor.“

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