“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 !!!!“

“Clean store with wonderful staff. Excellent quality of product on the shelves and the seafood is off the charts. I love that there is so much prepared fruit and vegetable that make weekday meals easier. I look forward to making this a regular stop.“

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

“Great food as always and when you have service like Julie provided it’s no way to lose. Thank you for the great experience!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“This place reminds me of little back street family-run restaurants in Seoul or Busan. Very authentic dishes, some that are hard to find in the States. The side dishes have also varied on different visits, so there's often something new to try.“

“So excited everyone waiting for that“

“Loved the expedience of eating here - the service and concept are so unique! The toppings all taste great and the variety of packet ramen flavors means you can come back and try something new every time.

Ask the staff for help the first time because the process isn’t as straightforward as I was expecting.

Don’t overfill your bowl too much otherwise you’ll end up making a mess at the bowl station and possibly burn your hand when trying to reduce the hot water level.

The beef/chicken meatball were my superstar in the toppings but try a variety to make a diverse and rich ramen experience!“

“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.“

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

“This place is located in the LOTTE shopping center in the food court to the right. Stopped in for a quick bite to eat while shopping at LOTTE; the rice cake soup was phenomenal. Some of the best Korean soup I’ve had and the sweet-and-sour pork was very good with a very good portion. Enjoyed the food very much.“

“Im been there twice and I have ordered something different every time, my wife also ordered something different as well, you can't go wrong with any Ramen!!! Anything really, food very fresh and authentic service amazing as well highly recommended, we will be coming back for sure“

“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.“

“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.“

“#iloveunlimeat!

This place is one of our family favorites with consistently good food and the service always excellent. Today, on our 468264th visit, our server surprised us with this. You’ve got a customer in us for life, #unlimeat! 🥰“

“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!“

“Soooo good, underrated spot for sure!!! We’re lucky to have all this amazing food right in Cville!!! Got the soondubu jjigae which was great but the galbi tang was out of this world. Next I need to try the raw marinated crabs, which everyone says is their specialty! Employees were SO nice too. Thanks for having us!“

“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.“

“The food was awesome, the service was excellent. It was so great that we are planning on eating there next time we go to DC“

“My friend, brother, and I were hungry after coming back from a hangout and decided we wanted Korean food. We found out that Hankki was open pretty late and decided to go for dinner. The inside was pretty quiet, which makes sense because it was really late and the server gave us her undivided attention.

We ordered a few things, some bossam, pork mandu, tteok-bokki, and some blood sausage. Everything tasted delicious, very authentic and they even provided us with a hot plate to keep the bossam hot while we ate it. The dishes also came with an assortment of banchan and while I usually don't enjoy kimchi, their kimchi here tastes really good.

Would love to come back again and I hope to see their continued business operation.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“Great food i come many times“

“Literally EVERYTHING on their menu is DELICIOUS! I Love the teriyaki chicken, the beef bulgogi, and their chicken pesto panini 🤤 They are also very very generous with the amount of food you get. For example their chicken panini has a HUGE piece of Chicken breast in it and the mozzarella cheese are HUGE and thick fresh slices. The word "skimpy" is unknown here 🤤 They have an AMAZING drink selection as well. Really love how many different types of Green Tea they have. If you have a chance to stop by or you're close by, I highly recommend you give it a try. They have outdoor seating with umbrellas.“
