“In Korean shabu-shabu, people eat together from the same pot.In the United States, it was fun to eat shabu-shabu from each person’s own pot.Meat and seafood were served, and vegetables and other ingredients were brought out and eaten in a buffet style.It was nice that you could choose the shabu-shabu soup base according to your taste.All ingredients were fresh and delicious.I had a great time and had a delicious meal :)“

“We visited this restaurant some time ago and really enjoyed it, particularly the high-quality pork meat. We are fans of Korean BBQ and have tried out many restaurants in Northern Virginia, particularly those that offer all-you-can-eat BBQ. This one stands out as one of the best; their meat is of good quality and delicious.“
“Donkatu is good. My picky eater daughter finished the whole plate. If you miss old Korean style don kka ss sauce, they have it. I also had Jjambbong kalkooksoo. It was ok to good. I wish more seafood or bigger seafood pieces in there. Price is ok. Before I eat here, I went to the thrift store in the same plaza. Walk all the way straight from the restaurant. They have great selection of home decorations and set of plates.“
“This is a popular Korean BBQ restaurant located in Fairfax, and unlike the typical all-you-can-eat restaurants, they serve combo menus. The meats are delicious, and their seafood pancake is also great. The ambiance is lively and youthful, giving the feel of being at a night market in Korea. However, the wait time can be quite long, although the service is decent.Parking: The parking lot is free, but it tends to fill up quickly.“
“If you are in the Fairfax area, Bebop is a must-try. I really like their selections of bulgogi burgers, the bulgogi rice bowl with purple rice, and the ambience of the restaurant, which is decorated with old music albums. Friendly service. I would also recommend trying out their turkey bacon topping on their burger.Overall, this is a great place if you are looking to try an unique type of burger, and if you are a fan of bulgogi like I am.Dietary restrictions: Turkey bacon instead of pork bacon. Can accommodate with some of the toppings, but definitely ask the server.Parking: It is in a shopping center right by Party City.“
“I was in a nearby building doing errands, and needed something for lunch on a weekday. This Cafe popped up on my map and I didn't pay a lot of attention because I just wanted something quick and convenient. So I was surprised when I got there and most of the food was Korean or thai, ordered pad Thai because even when it's not great it's good, and was really surprised to get served some of the best pad Thai I've had around DC even in fancy sit-down restaurants. It is buried in a large office building, there are seats down there but no real atmosphere. But I got a really tasty lunch for 10 bucks. Impressed!“
“We've tried many different places that sell Korean corn dogs and Gold Miss is one of the better ones. They are made to order so a bit of a wait after you order, but they come out hot and crispy. If you order it with cheese inside, it's nice and gooey. The outside is like a donut texture. It's so good!“
“We got the Bulgogi Jabchae sometime in February 2024 and it was mindblowingly good for a food court dish. We came back in late March, only to be told that it was taken off the menu ?? We tried the hot stone beef bulgogi, and that was amazing as well!! Definitely recommend trying their dishes, very reasonably priced, yummy and soul filling food.“
“Wow. You think that in a food court in a supermarket it would be just be OK. But better than most full sit down Korean restaurant anywhere. Like Michelin star good. Blows me away how good it was. Bibimbap is my go to. And this was probably the best dolsot/dolpan Bibimbop I’ve ever had. That’s probably out of hundreds I’ve “
“The Sichuan Legend Hotpot and more is new a management. They take care of their guests like family, Nicole our server is very sweet. The ambiance, food and service is wonderful. Their menu consists of hotpot and more. We tried the hotpot and loved it, will definitely come back and try the rest of the menu. Thank you and keep it up. ??“
“Conveniently located near Loews and Burlington in Fairfax, this Korean-style Chinese restaurant serves good Jjajangmyeon (Black bean noodles) and Tangsuyook (Fried pork with sweet sauce) that are generously proportioned. The decor is a bit old, but it is a good restaurant to visit when you crave these dishes.“
“came with my few friends to eat at the hmart food court and we have no regrets!! we were to spend a day in DC but decided to eat local first.we ordered the Mala Tteokbokki with suspicions because mala is a very strong sichuan spice flavor. it was ~$22.00 total for the medium size. the mala tteokbokki came with 2 fried noodle dumplings, shredded green onions, grilled brisket, one egg, glass noodles, long rice cakes (that you can cut up with given scissors), fish cake, carrot, onion, and cabbage. this blew our mind since it was really not spicy at all!! there was definitely the infamous mala aftertaste but it made my mouth water for more HAHA. towards the end of the meal, the spice DID build up but not too much. it also depends on your spice tolerance and the three of us eat spicy food well.everything was cooked pretty well but the glass noodles were so-so. i cook these at home too when i'm craving homemade tteokbokki or ramen or home made hot pot, so i make them softer and chewier. the glass noodles were a bit harder to chew, but not too bad!! still very much enjoyed the meal :)) this is definitely my favorite now. i've tried the original, the black bean version, the rose, but mala beats them all. i recommend also ordering a side of fried assortments to dip and enjoy more or order [cheesy korean corn dog right across from this stand :)) service was very helpful and quick. the man that took our order was kind and patient and happens to also help run the korean corn dog spot too !“
“Had just arrived in town and was super hungry. We arrived just after lunch but before dinner so had the place to ourselves. When the waitress spoke little but good English I knew we were in for an authentic treat and the place did not disappoint. We call 2 other friends of ours to come right over and try it. They loved it also, on our way out of the door literally two more friends arrived asking if it was good. I showed them the pictures and said definitely give it a try!! And they did!!“
“Unexpectedly surprised with good It was twice crispy, juicey,sauce tasted real. The Korean chix taste.THIS LOCATION IS SO MUCH BETTER. The service was good and easy to with recommendations.The place was clean and my shoes weren't sticky or greasy to the floor.Must try the plain,soy,spicy soy and spicy sweet noodle with whelks/can snail. A Korean favorite.“
“Very nice place. Staff was very friendly. Service was good. I felt like it was a good value at $30 dollars for all you can eat. Tried several different meats. Personal favorite was the Prime Rib Eye Bulgogi. Would definitely recommend and definitely eat there a second time!“
“I did a carry out. Being my first time, I was given recommendations by what looked to be an owner/operator. He was very accommodating as was the young lady present who was doing most of the cooking. The food were fresh and delicious. A huge thumbs up!“
