29 Best Korean Restaurants near Herndon

“The best of the best and I’m a chef !!!!!! Will be back many many times . Thanks for the great service and even better food !!!!“

“Still one of the best in the area. Much better than the Lotte in Herndon that the management doesn't honor it's own sales/rugpulls customers like it's a sport. The last cashier didn't help me bag but i didn't buy much and a single occurrence doesn't affect the overall score.“

“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!“

“Andrew worked super hard providing superb service for our table of 8 people tonight. He hustled big time. He stayed on top of removing finished plates from our table and changing our grills to clean ones. He replenished our orders quickly and offered ice-cream at the end of our meal. He returned to our table often asking if we needed anything. Fantastic customer service!“

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

“My friend recommended this place as the best donkatsu in the area. I went there for the first time and there were two donkatsu options. Regular and King tonkatsu. The cashier explained the difference and people have preference. I went with King tonkatsu. I agree that it’s definitely one of the better options in the area.

The bread crums are thin, super crispy, and well fried. The meat was pounded and tenderized consistently across the entire piece. The portion was huge to feed two people. The sauce for salad and donkatsu were rich.

My family also ordered yukgaejang. The soup was well prepared with pepper oil and tasted very authentic. Meat and vegetables in the soup were at good quality.

Overall, I really enjoyed my lunch here. My kids loved it too. I would definitely come back here to try other menus.“

“We went on a Thu so there was no one, we ordered ddukbokki and cold noodles. The ddukbokki was not spicy, Cold noodles was very flavourful. I always love the barley tea it helps cleanse my palate. Overall it was delicious and staff were veey friendly and nice. Thank you!“

“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 LOVE it!! We’ve been in Fredericksburg, Honey Pig for a several times since they’ve opened their restaurant!! The staff are very friendly, quick delivery of our side dishes, and quick with their service to serve us, not to mention their interior design is very unique! We don’t live next door but it’s so much worth it to drive in for these comfort food!!“

“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!!!“

“Things to know:

1. It's counter service with folks who don't seem like they are happy to see you. You carry your food to and from the table and clear your own dishes.
2. The food is good but not great. There are 4 other Korean restaurants within 5 minutes that have equivalent or better quality at the same or lower prices.
3. It's located in the food court of the Lotte grocery store. The ambiance is shoppers passing by and small children throwing tantrums at nearby tables.

Despite all of that, I haven't stopped coming here at least annually and sometimes more for the past decade. It's not trying to be more than it is, and you know you'll always get something good and classic, even if it's not great or well presented.“

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

“Good food and excellent service.“

“So excited everyone waiting for that“

“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.“

“Love how traditional this place was and the service was amazing. Mimi was super nice and the workers work very fast. Food comes out very fast and it was all super delicious. The banchan was really good and everything overall was super cheap. I’m from new york and the quality of meat is the same for so much less money.“

“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.“

“A Familiar Taste That Never Changes.
It had been about a year since my last visit to Kohyang Jip, and nothing much has changed — the same small dining space, the worn-out interior, and a modest selection of Korean dishes. But there's something comforting about that consistency.

This time, I tried the nakji (octopus) dish for the first time.
The seasoning wasn’t overpowering, but it had depth — just the kind of flavor that makes you want another bite of rice. The food here always hits a solid middle ground — nothing flashy, but always reliable and satisfying.

Thank you, Kohyang Jip. I’ll be back again.“

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

“Great Korean BBQ spot! The meat was fresh and flavourful, especially the bulgogi and seafood. Tons of tasty side dishes, and grilling at the table made it super fun. Staff were friendly and helpful. Perfect for groups or a casual night out. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome Korean food! Friendly staff.“

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

“This cozy, no-frills Korean restaurant offers a variety of decent dishes. The Dolsot Bibimbap was served with a small soup, while the Galbitang was warm and savory. The ambiance is clean and straightforward, with food posters adorning the walls. The service was good, contributing to a satisfying dining experience.“

“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!!!“

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

“Is many options. The food is fantastic. I can't get enough of this place. The prices, atmosphere, the people and particularly the food is amazing. Some of the things I have tried include the deserts, to poke bowl to binmbop to a multitude of sushi options. Recommend.“

“Delicious! My daughter and I had hotpot bibimbap (steak and chicken) and my husband had shrimp yakisoba. Everything was perfection — and surprisingly inexpensive. Loved the decor and music. This is going to become a regular hangout. Highly recommend

Vegetarian options: They have vegetarian dishes clearly marked and a lot of options

Parking: Tons of free parking

Kid-friendliness: It’s a clean, well lit place, but not too fancy, with big screen TVs playing Kpop on mute and fun music playing (to drown out your neighbors) — perfect for kids.“

“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.“
