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.“

“Their donkatsu is massive! It's the thinner, old school Korean style donkatsu, which I really enjoyed. The sauce was flavorful, and the cold noodles paired really well with it. If you're craving nostalgic Korean style donkatsu, this is definitely worth trying.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the salt bread because I prefer mine a little more buttery. This one was chewier, with a clean, subtle flavor and a nice nutty richness. It just wasn't my personal preference.

The melon bingsu was huge and could easily be shared by three people. It was refreshing and made a great dessert to finish the meal.“

“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.“

“Hands down one of the best spots in town.

I had an amazing dining experience at Morak. The food here is simply phenomenal—every bite was a burst of flavor. You can tell the chefs really care about the quality and presentation. The ambiance was lovely and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. I will definitely be a regular here. Highly, highly recommend!“

“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“

“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“

“The lunch special at Honey Pig BBQ was a satisfying meal. We ordered the cold noodles and galbitang (갈비탕), and both were perfect comfort food in their own way. The cold noodles were refreshing, chewy, and flavorful—great for a warm day—while the galbitang was rich, comforting, and packed with tender meat. The lunch portions were generous, reasonably priced, and came out quickly, making it a great option if you want a filling Korean meal before/after shopping at Hmart next door :)“

“Good food and excellent service.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

““Everything was absolutely delicious — the tofu kimchi, banquet noodles, and spicy bibim noodles! You can really taste the care and quality in each dish. The tofu kimchi was outstanding, the noodle soup had a comforting and refreshing broth, and the bibim noodles had amazing flavor and seasoning. The staff were very friendly and the atmosphere was great. Definitely a place I’d love to visit again. Highly recommend if you’re craving authentic Korean food in Centreville! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”“

“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.“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Excellent service & gluten free options!“

“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.“

“Food was amazing 🤩 if you love steak 🥩 you must come here!!! We will be back soon for round two 🤣“

“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.“

“Delish !! Fun time hanging out eating with a group of people !“

“The best Korean restaurant in the area(probably best in VA)!
It is hard to find good Korean restaurant where main and side dishes are good, but this is the one. I eat here many times when I am craving for authentic Korean foods.all the servers are kind and know what they are doing.
This is Korean BBQ place with other Korean dishes, it is pricy like other BBQ places, but I think it is worth my money.
Only thing I do not like is, when you are there at a peak time, you have to wait. Also it can be very loud like typical Korean BBQ just like in Korea with people drinking alcohols but no biggie.“

“Today I place an order around noon for delivery at 9:00pm. I order the dish Soondae+Bossam, the order came right at 9:00pm on the dot. This little girl came out the car name Jenny with mask and gloves(due to all the virus going around)... very professional and clean. Food was great 10 out of 10. Would strongly recommend eatting here!“

“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.“

“This place has the soondae that is region specialty. It is going to be a hit or a miss for a lot of people especially non-Koreans. But what I can say is it is very close to how it tastes at a good restaurant in Korea. I am a fanatic for soondae and jokbal and this place food was really good. This place is 1.5 hours from me and I'd drive the distance to just eat this and drive back.“
