50 Best Korean Restaurants near Springfield

“First off let me say that our server Henry is a superstar! I gave four stars for service though because some staff could take some lessons from Henry. Some remain hidden or walk around aloof and indifferent The food is great. The quality of the meat is top notch. So happy we don't have to drive out to Centerville for good Korean barbecue anymore!“

“We had a delicious meal tonight. The Bibimbap was very good! The service was great too. We’ll definitely come back!“

“I love the food here and the people who run it. The food is amazing! I am here at least once a week. There is such a variety on their menu and their daily specials are always great to try. Stop by if you're hungry, you will not be disappointed.“

“Corndog was great, right amount of breading and cheese.Fries was great, they were golden brown and crispy.Mango lemonade was sweet.Chicken wings were decently sized. However, I wished the seasoning stuck to them. The honey gathered at the bottom. I just dipped the wings in the honey but wings need stickier seasoning.Still definitely worth a try though.“

“I got the korean bbq wings and they are delicious. I'd definitely recommend. The fries were delicious too. Clean restaurant and short wait time on food.

Only thing I didn't like was that the restaurant was so cold. Good thing I brought a light jacket.“

“Firepan is a great place for KBBQ! Would highly recommend for friends or family gatherings. Menu options are great!“

“Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs but do not have changing tables in bathrooms. The atmosphere is calm and quiet. Luckily our little one was on her best behavior and the staff was very accommodating to making sure we had space for a stroller.“

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

“One of a kind! Awesome selection of Korean and American snacks. The service is top notch. The atmosphere is upbeat with a lounge vibe. Highly recommend.

Only caveat is parking might be tough during peak hours. Be careful parking in Honey Pig and Rumba lots adjacent to 1943 Classic.“

“It’s official. SEOULSPICE is our kpop dance team’s new post-practice eating spot. It’s decorated so cutely inside and the food was great! We were served by Destiny, who treated us with the warmest energy and like we were best friends. Cannot recommend this location enough. Will 1000% be going back ASAP!“

“Food is delicious and atmosphere feels very homey. This is a great casual Korean restaurant. Service is good. It’s a great spot for kimbop, bibimbop, or noodle dishes. The pictures I took were after we started eating already - portions are very generous!

Parking: Big strip mall parking lot“

“The Yukaejang 유개장 was so delicious that I felt as if I were revisiting Korea as I ate. The kimchi and side dishes were also delectably tasteful and fresh.The lady who prepared the food and welcomed me was very kind and courteous. I highly recommend Hunan Deli for an excellent customer /foodie experience!!“

“You will absolutely get the best Hot Pot Bibimbap from here, either in restaurant or as take out. (Please try it as take out, you will NOT regret it.) I can't tell you how comforting their food is. Their kimchi is also phenomenal. It's fermented to perfection, and tastes just like how my grandma would make it.

I never want this place to go. Please keep giving it the love it deserves. The owners/waiters are so kind & thoughtful as well. They truly made a wonderful safe space.“

“Food was fantastic. The service was even better. I went a few weeks ago and lost my receipt, and needed one for my business expense. I called and the gentlemen that answered the phone tracked it down for me right away. This place was top tier all around.“

“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.“

“Food is pretty close to what I got living in Korea for a while. Small things took me back like the water bottles given to the tables. Lots of veggies in the bibimbap and an order of dumplings is like 12, so massive points for that. Will definitely come back here.“

“Best Bul jok bal and mak guk su place in DMV area.
The interior is looking like pocha, so people might come here for just drinking. However, you guys can just come to this place for having dinner. They are mostly delicious.

A place where buljokbal and makguksu are delicious. A taste that cannot be beat even in Korea.
The interior looks like a bar, so people come here late in the evening to drink. However, considering the price, taste, and quantity, this is one of the few Korean restaurants that is worth coming to for dinner.“

“The customer service was really good she helped me and my family with the menu items and what they come with and the food was really good I got the cheese pork cutlet and was really good my dad got the galbi tang he said it was one of the best soup he tried I really recommended this place“

“Good beef bone soup coupled with kimchi and rice. I added some salt to the soup which tasted plain at first. The beef was very good though.

Friendly staff and attentive service. We went on a Friday evening and were able to be seated immediately.

A free parking lot was available around and behind the restaurant.“

“This place seems like a clean traditional Korean snack bar with a male owner and a female owner. All the delicious food is here. Squid kimbap. Jjolmyeon. Awesome, awesome. I want to go eat again

Vegetarian options: Jjolmyeon with vegetables. Freshness. Highly recommended“

“The food was really delicious, just like what I used to eat when I went to visit my grandmother in Korea! Tofu stew, jjolmyeon, and kimbap with a lot of perilla seed powder, and the side dishes, especially young radish kimchi, are the best.... In this time of rising prices, the price and quantity are good, and the taste is truly the best!“

“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!“

“Fabulous chicken. Must try the chicken! The wait is worth it! So crispy and tasty!“

“Delicious authentic Korean Bbq.“

“This was the first time I've ever had Korean BBQ and the waiter was very patient, knowledgeable, and pleasant to talk to. He made many suggestions and I was pleasantly surprised to love everything he brought me. Made the whole experience enjoyable.

I was visiting from out of town and remarked to one of the other staff members that I'll have to find a good Korean BBQ spot when I get home and they where quick to make recommendations and load me up with Korean snacks/chips/drinks for the road which where delicious.

Thanks again and if your in the area give them a try.“

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

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

“This place is very spacious and clean. The servers were super nice and accommodating. Fun place to try nice Korean food and have some drinks. It’s a good place to watch some sports games too! Great place for a large group. There are private rooms as well. Would definitely come back.“

“Little shop that does amazing rice bowls. Food was hot and delicious when it came out, will definitely be back. There’s not many offerings for Korean food in a fast-casual setting in this area, its nice to be able to get some Korean takeout without having to commit to a dine-in meal.“

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

“Been here a few time with my friends and it has been consistently a great time! The spot is nice, staff is very friendly and attentive, the rooms are well maintained, the tech is easy to navigate. There’s just a lot of good things I can say. I will warn you, the Karaoke is pricey (can’t remember off the top of my head) and the food is great but expensive, so eat beforehand if that is a concern for you.“

“Saturday night dinner for a group of 6, and I was able to reserve a table about 2 hours before arrival. The best items we got was the stir fry octopus dish with noodles. Must order. Absolutely delicious, not too spicy, perfectly cooked, a crowd pleaser. The banchans are yummy, and every dish except the cabbage kimchi was vegetarian, which was helpful for the one vegan in my group, and they were able to find good options on the menu as well. I ordered the individual combo, with the pork stir fry and seafood tofu soup. My friend who ordered galbi got a lot more meat than I did, I was jealous. Everything was delicious. I ordered medium spicy level for the tofu soup, I could probably gone for spicy. A friend who is sensitive for spicy food regretted getting mild and said they could comfortably handle medium. Another great Korean food option in Annandale.“

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

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

“Great food. Service is friendly but can be swamped depending on the crowd. All you can eat is the best bargain. Wish they would let you select your sides, some folks not familiar with Korean BBQ tend to waste the sides. Melon bars after the meal are a great unique touch.“

“The food here is really so delicious >_<!!Gopchang hotpot, kalguksu, bulgogi, pork taco,I was surprised because all the menu items, including whelk somen, rib bibimbap, etc., were delicious!!I really recommend the tripe hotpot and kalguksu!Especially in the summer, the combination of Makguksu + Chuncheon Dakgalbi is crazy... .??????“

“Gom Ba Woo is the best place to go to get a "home cooked" Korean meal.

Every time I go in I feel like an invited guest, going over to a family's house for dinner.

I really love this place. Consistently good food, clean and welcoming.

I wouldn't go anywhere else for Korean food in Virginia.“

“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.“

“It’s a really nice store.“

“5 Stars

Mad for Grill, a Korean restaurant in Annandale, VA, is a spot that will keep you coming back. The “조기구이정식“, Grilled Yellow Croaker Set) is exceptional—perfectly grilled with deep, rich flavors. The side dishes (banchan) are like little appetizers, and the Kimchi is hands down the best I’ve ever had in any restaurant—fresh, flavorful, and incredibly special. It’s a taste that’s sure to impress, especially for those new to Korean cuisine. Plus, the convenient location makes it an easy choice. If you’re after authentic Korean food, Mad for Grill is a must-visit!“

“It was a really delicious meal.
I was completely surprised by the size of the cutlassfish.
However, I didn't know that lunch was not available on weekends, so I ordered two for lunch. I also added dumplings..haha
Lunch and dinner prices are different.
Although we couldn't confirm it.
It was a more delicious grilled fish meal in the U.S. than in Korea.“

“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!!!“

“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“

“We love this place. My favorite place for Korean BBQ. You must try. Small place but they serve good Korean food and service. I always have bbq and dongdongju for drinks. Korean pancake is great too. BBQ set it serve with steamed egg and kimchi soup plus a lot of side dishes.“

“I love this place for its service and affordability (and the taste!) but i would NOT get spicy seafood soup, it was too bland and didnt feel like it had enough/fresh seafood in it for its price compared to other restaurants in the area . It's cheap and everything is delicious (the stew/soup is plentiful and delicious), but I don't recommend the jjambbong.“

““Karaoke, great drinks, and an excellent staff make this a great night destination for someone looking to have a good time with friends. The food is also great, presenting many exotic and delicious dishes, as well as the old classics. The place itself looks amazing, with a great night ambiance, complete with hanging lights and great music. And did I mention the super-fun karaoke?.”“

“Honestly if you want kimbap this is the place to go.
I have been going to red holic since 2010 and the owners have been consistently changing however the current owner knows how to do bunshik! Twigims are so crispy, tteokbokki and kimbaps are perfect, soondae is alright.
Do not expect a five star restaurant level service here because that is simply not what korean bunshick is about.
Come here for the affordable, wonderful, delicious food!“

“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!!!“

“get the dry wings and sea bass. they have some good Chinese/Korean fusion items here.“
