    I came here for drinks one evening and had a great time! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This spacious Korean pub is a great spot to hang out with friends and grab some food/a late night drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When I was here, I didn't get any of their food but I did they their house honey makgeolli and really loved it! Would love to come back and try other drinks + food sometime!

    I'm just old or something (mid -forties) because I don't enjoy ordering my food on a pad and getting no level of service. If you have an establishment that requires you to order on a pad, there still should be some level on customer service. There were like 9 employees behind the bar hanging out and talking and no one ever checked in on us, asked if we had any questions about the menu. I had to call a server on the pad to get some napkins, get a fork, get boxes, get the check... I just don't enjoy that and the food is MEH for the price. They just come ", drop off food, no smile, no nothing like waiter robots. One and done for us.

    Finally got to try after months of hearing about it-l (+) parking lot, order system on tablet on table so don't have to wait to order (-) average food Interesting vibe- kind of like Club-y with sofa seats. But interesting. The prices are average to slightly high, drinks are alright but the rose tteokbokki was average. We didn't finish it. I'd like to come back to try some other items.

    Good food and vibes. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Kind of like a club/lounge at night with music playing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Servers and staff were accommodating and helpful

    Great vibes, food, and drinks! More "upscale" than typical Korean Izakayas (think lowkey lounge vibes) it's a pretty spacious place so it's perfect for dates, get togethers with friends, etc. They also do a pretty big birthday celebration if that's your thing My favorites here are the truffle pasta, the crab pasta, and the loaded Doritos nachos new ownership updated the menu so I can't wait to go back and try the mala tang and sexy yama choo steak!

    Pasta

    Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday on a Monday evening and it was surprisingly good! We ordered 3 dishes (pasta, shrimp fondue, jjampong) and they were all delicious. I love cheese so obviously my favorite was the shrimp fondue: heavy in fat and sauce, just the way I like it. The pasta was flavorful, as was the jjampong. Service was great: they were quick and fast with our requests. I've never been here on the weekend, so can't comment on how the vibes are. It's perfect for a low key dinner on a week night, however, with plenty of seating inside.

    Corn Cheese

    1943 Classic is a pocha franchise originally from Korea that opened a location in Annandale. It's known to have a more high-end interior and tasty food options that my friends have hyped up recently. To note, my review for this place is for the food and vibes, not the drinks. My friend and I were able to order a couple things we wanted to try through a tablet that's available at every single table which made our experience even more convenient. CORN CHEESE - 7.99 Quite possibly one of the worst corn cheeses I've ever eaten, and I thought you can't mess up corn cheese. The mozzarella cheese draped on top of the corn with pieces of chopped onion mixed in, but the corn kernels were scattered loosely across the plate. It lacked the cheese/mayo mixture that usually binds them together. It lacked the typical creaminess, and we weren't impressed. If this is the norm, I wouldn't recommend the corn cheese here. ROSE PASTA CHICKEN - 17.99 The rose pasta chicken is one of their more popular dishes and we can see why. Each order comes with three slices toasted baguette, three pieces of boneless fried chicken, a massive amount of spaghetti (topped with melted mozzarella and swimming in a bed of rose sauce. The pasta was on the softer side that soaked up the creamy, rich rose sauce that savory and sweet from the tomatoes. They have "chicken" in the name of the dish, but there was barely any chicken! Overall, this was good, but nothing to die for. If I come back, I'll try other food options or get a drink or two so the food tastes better. They also have a Harufilm booth near the exit, so my friend and I took some photos there. There are no props in the room. We paid 10.00 for two photo strips, which is pretty pricy. Nonetheless, they make good souvenirs and we had a fun time.

    A classy vibe bar restaurant that is great for chilling and hanging out with friends! I really loved their truffle fries! All of their shareable plates are quite good, anything that you get will probably be good. The somaek tower was fun to share as a large group. Even despite not being a huge beer person, the soju + Terra beer combination is super smooth! I really enjoyed it. The service was good -- food came in a timely manner and ordering was super easy on the tablet at the table.

    Reservation canceled

    Had a confirmed reservation and they canceled my reservation the night before so I attempted to reply to the message however it wouldn't go through so I called them and when I asked to speak to the manager/owner initially she refused to speak to me. I explained multiple times that I was calling regarding my reservation when I finally spoke to the manager I told her my reservation was confirmed almost week in advance and they are just now canceling it saying they had technical issue with yelp! B.S. So I asked if I could be accommodated for the inconvenience and they told me no.

    This spot is always a solid choice for good food and fun vibes. I like that they often change parts of their menu so there's always something interesting to try, and every new dish/drink we've tried did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend their pastas and Gcova chicken! They do get busy often especially on weekend evenings so at times the service can be a bit slow but nothing too bad. They also have lots of seating so it is a good place to bring a group!

    I visited 1943 Classic with a friend, and overall, it was an okay experience. We ordered the shrimp fondue and Nagasaki jjamppong soup, and I have to admit, the food was really good. However, just a heads up, the Nagasaki jjamppong soup is only soup, with no noodles, which was a bit confusing since "jjamppong" usually implies noodles. Not to mention, it was $19.99, which felt overpriced for what it was. We also ordered drinks, and while they were decent, they were definitely on the expensive side. The highlight of the night was the shrimp fondue. My friend and I really enjoyed it, and the sauce was especially delicious. One downside was the service. Everything is ordered through an iPad, and the staff is mainly there to drop off food.

    Expected a nice classy restaurant but it's more of a loud sit down night bar. First encounter when walking through the door we had vape smoke blown in our faces by some random guy. Already unimpressed. Secondly the music was so loud right above our heads we couldn't even talk to each other. Third we sat for a table of 3 people only to keep being given two of everything... two water cups, two spoons, two plates... they finally got it right after we told them we needed a third plate. The iPad is sometimes useless when making requests...we asked for a 3rd water right after sitting because we only received two water cups and that was never served. We ended up just asking a waiter walking by because it took too long. Food was okay. Honestly it's quick food for drinking culture, but highly priced. The rose tteokbokki was harder than I'd like, probably frozen, even the hotdogs in it wasn't good. Just not great. I did however enjoy the takoyaki as it was crispy and hot. It was really good with the rose sauce though. As for the seafood jampong it doesn't come with any noodles so we ordered a separate side of guksoo noodles but even that took forever to come out. We basically finished it by the time the noodles even arrived. The jampong broth basically tasted like shin ramen broth and the mussels were definitely frozen. Overall it's more like quick made foods for the high price and vibes. Very loud and dark. Great for drinking culture but if you want a nice and not too loud place to sit and dine this is not it.

    Chicken and fries
    Michael N.

    I wouldn't come here, especially sober. Don't let the pretty lights and nightclub atmosphere trick you. Their food is basic for the prices they charge. To order food, you need to use the tablet for everything. At first, I thought it was convenient until it took 15-20 minutes to reach a server after requesting it on the tablet twice. Tablet or not, they rarely check up on you. The appetizers tasted like it was from the freezer. The "truffle" sauce for the fries was overly sweet and unbearable. I cannot believe they charged twice the price ($12.99) compared to regular fries ($6.99). I ordered the stir fry volcano, thinking it wouldn't be too spicy, since there was a "mild option." The food didn't have a description, so I asked the server what it is. It's rice cake and sausages, but he didn't tell me that there were jalapenos there. This was definitely overpriced for what I got. It's still spicy for those who are sensitive. The truffle shrimp cream pasta was actually decent. My only complaint was that it was too sweet, which does not go with cheesy pasta. Very slow service, overpriced food, might as well go to a breakfast diner.

    Wow, what a quaint British pub in the middle of Vienna. Parking is a little tight for this area,…read morebut you can definitely find some spots in the back on a weekday. I ended up biking and there's a bike stand really close by. My friend was craving fish and chips, so we ventured out this way. Because we came on a Thursday they had a deal going where if you ordered a pie, you could get a beer for free. Of course I had to partake, so I ordered the special pie, which was a masala, chicken, curry pie, and it was quite good. A bit small for the price point but with the beer included totally worth it also because their fries are so good. I could demolish over a pound of those fries. They were thick potato and maybe the extra added bonus of having to use a glass ketchup bottle added to it. My friend and I were also taught how to properly hit the ketchup bottle to get the ketchup out by the bartender. You find the 57 on the bottle at an angle and bump you palm there that instead of hitting the bottom and hoping and praying that ketchup comes out. It actually worked or at least it was more efficient than trying to hit the bottom of the bottle upside down. I had never had a hand pumped beer before, but it was quite good. They are a warm beer rotating and it was quite good, it especially paired well with the pie or fish and chips.

    This pub had excellent food & drinks. And a whole menu for many Gin & Tonic options…read more We enjoyed curry mussels, steak& ale pie, British fries and curry chicken salad. They had several pimms cups too. Highly recommended.

He always recommended Kilroys to us as he was a regular at this restaurant. So, it became our annual tradition to have dinner at Kilroys. When you walk into Kilroys, you'll appreciate the amount of details thag went into the interior design of the restaurant. It should be noted that Kilroy's honors its veterans. My uncle was a proud veteran, so he always felt welcomed here. There is a lot of military memorabilia throughout Kilroy's. The walls are filled with so many photos that walk you back through historic events. There's so much love for the USA in here! The menu consists of a lot of traditional American food. Most of the items are heavy, so expect to leave with a full belly. They have your typical meat, fish, poultry, and pasta dishes. However, they also offer flatbread pizzas! There really is something for everyone. I typically order catfish or trout. Both are delicious, but I really like their catfish. I love Cajun spices, so it's always nice to enjoy something that hits close to home. I also appreciate that their servings are large, because it's well worth the money that you spend here. I would have never heard of Kilroy's if it wasn't for my uncle. Kilroy's definitely lived up to the hype. I enjoy coming here because it's like a hidden gem. It's situated in a small shopping center and you'd probably walk past it as it doesn't really stand out. Kilroy's is definitely a great place to enjoy a hearty meal, hang out with friends, or to grab a drink before heading back home.

Out of half the beers on tap and some of the menu wasn't available either. Our server was good but that was the only positive. Spent $170 plus tip on two dinners, an app and a couple beers each.

Was putting up chairs around people and turning off TVs. Don't waste your time or money. You can get a better steak at Golden Corral.
