33 Best Korean Restaurants near Lorton

“If you love Korean food and Chinese food, then you come to the right place. This is a small hole in the wall restaurant that serves excellent food. It reminded me of the little side restaurants in Korea where you can get a good home cooked meal. After leaving Korea, part of this dining experience left me as well. Finding a great authentic restaurant like this in the Ft Belvoir area is not easy to come by. The place is small with limited seating, so check before coming by. The food was outstanding, and we will be back for more. Service was not bad food came out hot and prompt.“

“It was quite slow while I was there. We had 4 adults and a baby. The highchair was a little too large for a 6 month old, and couldn't hold a carrier. So we had her on a chair next to our booth until she decided she wanted to sit next to us. It worked out, but if it was busier it would have been a problem.“

“It was my turn to pick where "girls lunch" would be this month. I had been wanting to try this restaurant for several months so of course it was my first thought. I was hesitant though, because I had recently tried a Korean restaurant closer to my home that also had great reviews and was very disappointed. That food, like many other similar places, tasted like nothing but oil. Everything tasted the same....oil, oil, oil.I threw the idea out to the girls anyway, sent them the menu and got the thumbs up. On the way to lunch we talked about other Korean restaurants we tried in the area, how I was disappointed in the one I tried and how one friend tried a place in Manassas and thought it was good. Let me tell you, she changed her tune with her first bite. All that could be heard from our table were loud MMMMM's, You need to try this and OMG's! We could not stop talking about how good the food was, how flavorful it was and how surprising it was to actually find a place that tasted authentic and FRESH. I was the champion of the day for choosing this establishment. Go me!The fried rice was even great reheated. I didn't have to add water because it was dry. The flavor was still there. The to-go order still tasted great (according to my husband) and the leftovers for that meal also reheated well and maintained its flavor.I don't normally take screenshots of my food but I wanted to show my husband what we tried so I included it here for effect.I really wanted to keep this place as my secret little gem but the food is so good, the staff is great and they deserve a shout out so,SHOUT OUT TO SU AND THE CREW! We'll be back soon!Dietary restrictions: They are happy to accommodate dietary restrictions as best they can.“

“I came here with a friend to play darts. While I didn't get food I did come here to grab a drink and check out the area... The Cue Club is a sports bar and pool hall if you enjoy going with a group of friends for a night out. I think it has the essentials of a good sports bar. Draft beer, good food ( I haven't tried it but the bulgogi sub looks good ), and pool, darts, and foosball for people to play. Service wise it took a minute for me to flag someone down to order some beer but beers did come out quick once I did confirm my order in. I don't know if the cocktails are good but we'll have to try again another time. For what I came here for, darts are in a separate room like the pool tables, and it's very spacious. The darts were available if you chip in 5 dollars, play all you want really. I honestly had fun learning how to play cricket but it is a long game. Although I didn't win against my friend this is enticing enough for me to play more when my friends are available. It's also across the street from O'MyChic so familiar territory for me.“

“Absolutely loved dinner here tonight. Our server Brandon was fantastic and prompt with everything :)The whole place is beautifully clean. I love that you can get your own hot pot and don't have to share with your party if you don't want to! The buffet options were sweet and everything was super fresh and tasty.Will absolutely be back - I've found my go to!“

“Soups are so good and tasty, and thumbs up to the Korean traditional Galbi Jjim(Steamed Beef Ribs in sauce); it's a bit pricey but well worth it. So fortunate to have this restaurant finally opened in Annandale.Parking: There are limited parking lot in front but there are plenty more on the side.“

“The owner was really nice. The gimbap was perfectly wrapped. Rice was nice and thin with lots of filling. The pork katsu was crispy and the pork was tender. The sauce tasted really great. This is a very unassuming place with high quality food.“

“An awesome place to get Korean Fried Chicken.It was my first time here and the ChiMc team gave us a sample of 2 spicy and 2 soy garlic wings while waiting for my order. The wings were incredible. The onion rings were extra crispy and delicious. Definitely look forward to going there again.“

“Just wow. I was in S. Korea for the last 2 years and this is by far the closest I’ve had to it. I came in and was warmly greeted and given time to order. I got the bibimbap and it was a generous portion. The food is made to order so you will always receive it hot. I ate in to see how they treat other customers and to no surprise the received the same amazing customer service. If I could give more stars I would. Give this restaurant a try for sure.Reviewed by J2✅“

“Love the food from this restaurant. The quality of their food is better than some other restaurants charging twice the price. We get the bulgogi, spicy pork, mandoo, and fried chicken. We get the soy chicken because their hot chicken is too hot for me but go for it if you can handle it.“

“This was me & my daughter's first visit to this Korean restaurant. We are a big fan of Korean food and this place did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the sevice was top knotch...the atmosphere was also very nice and cozy. We can't wait to come back ?? ?!!“

“Went for dinner because I was craving for stir fried squid and mandu. The restaurant feel homey. I wasn’t expecting it to be this small. They put poster of the dishes on their wall. When I dined there were other parties as well, so it was a bit noisy. But food and service was good. The stir fried squid was a bit too spicy for me (i ordered medium spicy, i think next time i need to do mild), mandu was delish, stir fried pork belly was also too spicy for me (but delicious tho, :)I got hot tea for drink. Overall it was a pleasant experience:).“

“I love lighthouse tofu! It's a no frills, authentic and homey feeling experience. The tofu soup here is so comforting and flavorful. You can select from so many different types of proteins - just be careful on the spice level because it can get pretty hot!“

“We ate the food too fast to get a good pic but it was delicious! I really liked the soy garlic sliced pork. We did all you can eat and it was nice to have options and not worry about not having enough to eat. We were full before our time was up!“

“In the heart of Annandale lies Incheon, a culinary gem that's elevating Korean cuisine to dizzying heights, with a modern twist. It's not every day you stumble upon a place that feeds both your appetite and your Instagram feed with equal gusto. Incheon does just that, serving up dishes that are as photogenic as they are palate-pleasing, in a setting that's both chic and inviting.From the moment you step inside, you're embraced by a vibe that's as modern as Seoul's skyline, matched with service that's as smooth and satisfying as a perfectly aged soju. It's clear you're in for a culinary adventure where traditional Korean flavors meet contemporary flair, and let me tell you, it's a match made in foodie heaven.Kicking off our epicurean journey were the fresh oysters, a half dozen briny jewels from the sea, dressed up with mignonette, chives, and a zesty chojang that will have you saying "Oh, shuck yes!" Each oyster was a dive into the deep, refreshing flavors of the ocean, with a Korean twist that had us at "Annyeong".Next up, the "Mushrooms" -- lemon ricotta and mushrooms on toasted French bread -- a dish that could diplomatically unite nations with its perfectly balanced flavors. The creamy ricotta and earthy mushrooms on that crispy French bread were like the culinary equivalent of a warm hug from a long-lost friend. It's comfort food, elevated to an art form.The Sole, cooked in clarified butter accompanied by spinach sauteed with capers and doenjang was a revelation. This isn't just fish; it's a symphony of flavors where every note hits just right. The buttery sole practically dances on your tongue, with the doenjang laden spinach adding depth and a uniquely Korean savory twist that's simply delightful.Now, let's talk about the Kimchi Beef Pasta. It's as if Italy took a detour through Korea, and the result is a dish that's spicy, savory, and utterly unputdownable. The fusion of kimchi's tangy heat with tender beef over pasta is a love story written in flavor, a testament to Incheon's genius in the kitchen.Ending on a high note, the Whipped Mascarpone with berries and mint was the encore we didn't know we needed. It's not just dessert; it's a cloud of creamy, dreamy mascarpone, kissed with the sweetness of berries and the freshness of mint, creating a finale that's as refreshing as a gentle spring breeze.Incheon is more than just a restaurant; it's a vibrant testament to the beauty of Korean cuisine, reimagined with a modern flair that's as engaging as it is delicious. Each dish is a culinary voyage, a blend of tradition and innovation that's as thrilling as exploring a new city. So, if your taste buds are itching for adventure, make your way to Incheon. It's a journey worth taking, no passport required.“

“I came to eat at this place and everything was very good. The atmosphere was nice. They had music in English and Spanish. The tables were very clean. The bathrooms were facing. The people who served me were very kind to me. When I asked them about the food, they responded with Very kindly, I asked for dinner in. I also ordered the chocolate shake and it was very delicious. I ordered the wing combo. It was very well cooked. The potatoes were very good and I really liked the sauce. So I asked for extra and they didn't charge me extra. They were very kind. The truth was. It was very comfortable to have eaten in this place. In the drinks area they had everything I needed, there were napkins, forks, knives and they had all kinds of drinks. Very good experience.“

“Tasty Korean bowls and more. The environment isn't too much to rave about, but the team there were very nice. The dining area can get tight considering how popular this place can get. This location and others share a small parking lot out front. We chose this location for its proximity to Fort Belvoir. You will order food and drinks at the counter and get a buzzer while they fix your food. I was hungry enough for a full size bowl, but they have lunch bowls which are smaller and more economical for those that do t want to fill up I ordered a spicy pork bowl, which had japchae, lettuce, spicy pork over a bowl of rice. I also ordered it with an egg. It was great and filling. I also tried out their sliders, which can be made out of any of the meats available, but I got a bulgogi slider which came with two mini burgers. It was all great. So good, my friend and her husband returned the very next day.“

“The food here is home style Korean food, it was simple and comforting. I didn't like the frozen chicken wings, they were too salty, but I still gave them 5☆s for other other things that were made from scratch, especially the Mandu (pot stickers).The restaurant's atmosphere needs a lot of help, Christmas decor still hanging with spider webs, the roof is leaking, and just a buch of random stuff horded. Not the inviting vibe for me, but I still gave it a chance and was glad. Heard they might be closing due to landlord issues, do check them out before they are gone.“

“The Bulgogi, spicy pork, al pastor and carne asada tacos were the best. The chorizo tacos were good, and so were the Gal bee. The carnitas and pork belly lacked flavor but the meat was cooked well. The complimentary chips and salsa was really good! The music was interesting. It was a mix of some slow covered R&B and some modern Mexican music. They kept switching the songs, which was kinda odd. Decent server, not above and beyond but not below average. I’d recommend this place to my friends.“

“The service is enthusiastic and the atmosphere is full. However, the food is a bit disappointing, and the raw beef is not evenly mixed. I really don’t know how to eat the beef bone soup, and I don’t provide food. Roasted pork is not as delicious as roasting it at home. All in all, the dishes generally don’t make you want to come back a second time. There are many kinds of side dishes, but one of them tastes like it has been in the refrigerator for a long time.“

“Food itself was awesome. All you can eat has variety of meat that I can choose from, also includes complementary rice, ramen, and several side dishes so I’m super happy with that. If it gets busy, the service tends to get a little bit slower. However, with the food quality and taste, I’d visit again.“

“Food was delicious!! It was freshly fried, crispy and juicy. I got sweet onion and hot red pepper. The place was very neat in appearance. Great to dine in and also to go! The server was kind and amazing to us. I would come back for sure next time :)) One of best Korean chicken experience.“

“Food was absolutely amazing and the waitresses were really good about bringing more meats, asking about refills on drinks, cleaning, helping the cooking, etc. Highly impressed and would love to come back but being from out of town, unsure when that'll next be.Parking: Strip mall styled parking“

“Nice weather today 60s, we are seating outside. Entertained with Mexican music from neighbor. Food comes fast, the service is excellent, staff asking what we need frequently, they fill up water and bring extra napkins. We enjoy the food, love the fusion taste. Orange Chicken is very unique, it is crispy!! Until next time.“

“Very friendly and accommodating staff! I had the passion fruit iced tea and didn’t like it but they gladly offered me an exchange for the mango sago yogurt drink and it was delicious! The donuts I got were taro, funnel cake and strawberry. The taro was my favorite and the funnel was delicious, the strawberry was okay. The place is kind of hard to find, it’s right next to a karaoke bar. Overall, I would definitely recommend.“

“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.“

“We got the beef and pork combo for 6 people and it was the perfect amount of food for all of us. The waiter was very helpful and told us the cook times for each of the meats. Our favorite was the brisket and the bulgogi. It was sort of empty and we didn't need a reservation but we made one anyways and they had everything ready for us when we got there. Absolutely perfect experience“

“Delicious seafood bimpap, the squid was fresh and tender while the vegetables were also fresh and crisp! Combine in with steamed white rice in the hot pot and it was the perfect mix!!Highly recommend, sweetest lady who took our order and made sure we enjoyed our meal and was taken care of. Best restaurant in that plaza, try it out!“

“Love everything about this restaurant. My family and I have been visiting off and on for a long while. The ladies that work here are attentive and warm. The food is delish!! We ordered seafood and scallion pancakes, marinated ribs, marinated thin slices of tender beef rib eye, stewed meat of ribeye bone in hot broth and bibimbap and fried dumpling. So good. I haven’t been into Korean food previously, yet you will if you visit here. If you do visit, come with an appetite “

“It's a great place for a quick bite. The food is good quality, not extra salty. The advantage of this place is that it opens at 10am, before other restaurants open. The price is also better than some other places. The environment is clean, only concern is that the music in Hmart may be too loud sometimes. And some od the k-pop songs don't sound very appropriate for children... Also, it's cold since it's in a grocery store.I ordered K12 bibimbap. The dish is good and the pot is really hot, which sears the rice to perfection. The yellow picked radish is not as good as some made by a restaurant, but the price is also lower here so I didn't expect it to be amazing. The main dish is good though, nothing to complain.“

“One of the better Korean barbecue spots in Annandale although the menu has 3 beef options. Not the most ideal when you don’t eat pork but I did enjoy the bulgogi, wasn’t the biggest fan of the steak or beef brisket. I will say the special sauce they have is incredible and absolutely delicious! One of the best I’ve had in KBBQThey charge you for extra eggs (2.99 for each) which I thought was strange since my other spot just gives you unlimited of that.The servers are constantly walking around to make sure your drinks are full and if you need anything else on the menu. Overall great experience and as mentioned one of the better kbbq“

“We had the entire place to ourselves, so a nice birthday dinner. They have a new dish bulogi fries. I'm super excited trying that. Bonchon food is addicting and super good.Parking: Parking in front around the side and some in back. Across the street and street parking.Kid-friendliness: My kiddo definitely enjoyed sitting in his booster seat at the table. Waiter definitely enjoyed his cuteness.“

“I've been to Gom Shabu Shabu Centerville and been here a few times, and the meat and vegetables are definitely fresher these days, so I like it. I didn't like meat before. It's nice to be able to eat warm hot pot food in the winter. However, the waiting time to place a refill order is too long. Even if you ring the bell, the waitresses are busy and don't come often, so you have to keep looking and waiting.“
