50 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 !!!!“

“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.“

“I got a fever, and the only prescription is KPOT. Our second time going, and this may be our new favorite restaurant. Kudos to Dale for giving us an awesome dining experience yet again.“

“The bingsu was excellent. It was made with real fresh fruit, and you could definitely taste the difference. It was more expensive than other places, but the quality and flavor made it worth the price.

I also tried the tteokbokki. It wasn’t bad, but it was pretty average compared to the bingsu.

Overall, I’d definitely come back for the bingsu. If you’re looking for fresh fruit bingsu, this place is worth trying.“

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

“The chiken good! Yea, but. The Rose Tteok Bokki was good. Hold on thoug! The water was amazingg! Best water I’ve had of all time. This water tastes likes…. like silence finally speaking—clean, weightless, and impossibly alive against the tongue.
It moves through the mouth like a memory you didn’t know you had, something ancient and familiar, as if your body recognizes it before your mind does.
There is a softness to it, a kind of invisible clarity that feels less like drinking and more like being restored, cell by cell, into something simpler.
Good water carries no flavor, and yet it holds the echo of stone, rain, and distance, as though it has traveled the world just to arrive here, unchanged.
In that moment, it is not just thirst that is quenched, but a quiet, unspoken longing to return to something pure and unbroken.
And somewhere beneath that purity, there lingers the faint reminder that everything living depends on it—and eventually returns to it.“

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

“It’s a very small space, so I recommend going during non-peak dining hours if possible.

One thing I appreciated was that they offer a halal section, which was a nice bonus.

That said, the topping labels were inaccurate or unclear, making it difficult to tell what everything was. For first-time visitors, the ordering process can be confusing, and I think clearer instructions or signage would help. On a busy day, there were quite a few customers wandering around trying to figure out the process, which added to the overall chaos.

Overall we will go again because my kids enjoyed it.“

“I believe everyone makes mistakes, and what matters more is how they handle them afterward.

I stopped by during lunch and ordered one item, but unfortunately, I ended up waiting about an hour and a half before receiving my food. It turned out that my order had accidentally been missed. However, the owner handled the situation extremely well, and I really appreciated the way they took care of it.

Mistakes happen, and the way the owner responded left a very positive impression on me. I’ll definitely be coming back often!“

“My daughter found this place by accident. The food is amazingly good and now we have it weekly. We enjoy getting the Spicy Chicken Gogi Bowl with the Yum Yum sauce. The staff couldn't be nicer and the food is AMAZING“

“I have been dined in at this particular branch for a year and the quality of both foods and services are remain the same and even better. The quality of meats are top nodge. I wish mu stomach os bigger so I can eat more. I love the way the our servers alway very handy and helpful as sometime we don't know how to deal with foods. They alway stick around to help grilling and making more space for the table.“

“Decided to give it a try based off a lot of online hype, and was not disappointed. The gimbap was competitively priced, but fairly portioned. They have some flavor selections I had not tried before like spicy anchovy and nuts, which was delicious. Though the chicken didn’t appear to be traditional Korean fried, it was still crispy, fresh, and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, accommodations simplified to self serve utensils and beverages, which mad things convenient, ambiance felt comfortable. All in all I’d give it a thumbs and would recommend to friends and family.“

“A friend recommended this spot, and it did not disappoint! Simple, authentic, and delicious. We ordered the marinated crabs, Korean pancake, and kimchi jjigae—everything was spot on. We were too hungry for pictures! Can’t wait to come back and try more“

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

“So excited everyone waiting for that“

“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!!!“

“Super friendly service and amazing flavor! Cannot wait to try everything on the menu.“

“This is a pretty good place to eat traditional Korean food. It’s my to-go place to eat Korean food especially stew and galbi. Their Korean pancakes, ‘jeon’, are amazing. I highly recommend this place to eat Korean appetizers and stew.“

“Food was delicious We ordered grilled eel calamari, pork katsu it was all good“

“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.“

“20260529 Wow! I haven't been here in 8 years! I came for the pork rib soup. It was huge!! And delicious!
8 yrs ago...Authentic Korean Food... my friends and I often are the only non-Koreans there. This just shows how authentic and delicious the food is. I tried the blood sausages for the first time there... now, I really like them with the salt and hot pepper sauce. I love the short rib soup, and I had it with rice. It is very tasty. I also love the beef bugogi. It is made in a hot pot, baked. The rice touching the pot during baking is crispy and has a tasty flavor. My friend and I also got the dinner portion of pig feet. That was nothing out of the ordinary. No seasonings was used to cook them. Everything I tried is delicious. Highly recommended. The prices are dinner prices. Expect to spend about $20 including tips of you order the minimum.“

“Food Delicious! And the staff super kind and friendly! Totally recomendable!“

“We visited for the first time yesterday and ordered the spicy braised pollock and spicy stir-fried squid. Everything was absolutely delicious!
The braised pollock came in a very generous portion, and the sauce was incredibly flavorful. The squid was exceptionally tender. The homemade tofu soup was warm, comforting, and full of rich, savory flavor. All of the side dishes were also fresh, clean-tasting, and beautifully prepared—it truly felt like enjoying a delicious home-cooked meal.
We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back!“

“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!!!“

“Really enjoyed my visit here. The spicy pork bibimbap was the highlight of the meal—the pork was tender, flavorful, and had just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming. The vegetables were fresh, and mixing everything together with the crispy rice made for a satisfying bite every time. The service was friendly, and the restaurant had a welcoming atmosphere. The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would have liked a slightly larger portion and a few more banchan options. Overall, it’s a great spot for Korean comfort food, and I’d definitely come back for the spicy pork bibimbap.“

“The food was super tasty! The service was quick, and everything came out fresh and delicious. The portions were generous, and I really enjoyed my meal. I'll definitely be coming back and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and fast, friendly service!“

“The food and service at Khans were sensational, it was my first time at Korean bbq and the staff, atmosphere and of course the food were all great. I specifically wanted to shoutout Carmelo our server, he was extremely attentive, and patient with my group and was very entertaining.“

“Great food i come many times“

“Awesome Korean food! Friendly staff.“

“Brought a party of 4 to Bonchon for the Tuesday $1 wing special and, as always, the wings were absolutely delicious. We ordered a large amount of wings along with cucumber salad, rice, and coleslaw. Unfortunately, the coleslaw never got brought out.

The food itself was great and the Tuesday wing special is honestly one of the best deals around. That said, the customer service could definitely improve. When our server brought out our 4 drinks, she placed them all on the opposite end of the table from where we were sitting, which came across as oddly passive aggressive and inconvenient. Also, throughout the meal, the server never once checked in to ask how the food was or whether we needed anything else — something that’s pretty standard at most restaurants, especially considering we eat here regularly.

Overall, the food quality and value keep us coming back, but the staff could really benefit from additional customer service training and better food service best practices.“

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

“Good service and foods are delish definitely we’ll comeback here👍👍👍“

Food 5/5
Atmosphere 5/5“

“had a great time at Chorus Karaoke in Chantilly. The private rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff, especially OJ was friendly, and the atmosphere made it easy to relax and have fun with friends. They have excellent karaoke rooms, good food and drinks, and the whole experience felt lively without being overwhelming. It’s a great spot for birthdays, group outings, or just a fun night out.“

“Treasure the delicious Korean food in Lotte Supermarket. Authentic in real life! It tastes good! The most down-to-earth restaurant. It is suitable for eating out on a daily basis. If you can‘t find a place to eat delicious Korean food, just go here. Cost-effective!“

“The food is delicious, the servers are very friendly and attentive, and the vibe is *chef’s kiss*. 100% recommend checking them out! If you appreciate a calm, soothing, crowd-free atmosphere like me, recommend arriving NLT 8pm 😎🤙🏻“

“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 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.“

“I love going to Tilly's, especially when I don't know what I want to eat. There are plenty of options, a melting pot of Chinese, Japanese and Korean food. If you want sushi, a bibimbop, a katsu curry, a bulgogi egg sandwich, you can find it here. Great options, vibes and atmosphere. Highly recommend giving it s try.“

“Delicious soup and side dishes. Their pork hansang rice dish is superb. I don't know what seasoning they put on it, but it's so flavorful. I definitely recommend it.Their seafood pancake was good too with good amounts of seafood in it. Wish it came with some sauce but I used the sauce that comes with the entrees“

“Came here with a group of friends and had an amazing experience. The kimchi is hands down the best I’ve had in the area — fresh, perfectly spicy, and not overpowering. I had the beef tofu stew, which was delicious with just the right level of heat. We also split the pork appetizer three ways, and it was a generous portion — more than enough as a side. On top of that, the food came out in about 5 minutes and still tasted fresh. Quick service and great food — we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend!“

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

“Hands down the best Korean restaurant in Centreville. Large portions at a great price point. The food is always excellent, especially the kimbap, soondubu, and dolsot bibimbap. I’ve tried several other dishes as well, and every single one has been great.“
