The customer service here is amazing. Our server was extremely attentive and helped us order since…read moreit was our first time. We ended up ordering brisket as our beef dish, seafood pancakes, tiger shrimp, and bbq chicken. With all the animals represented it was sure to be a good time. The brisket was excellent and the sides they give you pair up really well with the meat. My favorite was actually the bbq chicken. It was so tender and soft and the rice allowed me to soak up all the sauces from the dish. The tiger shrimp came unpeeled and the size of each shrimp was huge. It's served with butter and I could've easily eaten a dozen more. Honestly, everything here was a knockout and I can't wait to come back and try more.

Food: 5/5 get the bossam. PLEASE. Everything else was delicious as well (corn cheese, kalbi jjim,…read morecold noodles, brisket). I've been here plenty of times and it never disappoints! Service: 5/5 server was very kind, cooked the meat for us, and was amenable to getting us plates and bowls for sharing food. Ambiance: K-pop music that isn't too loud in the background. Tables are not too close to each other. There are 2 levels of seating, bathrooms only on the lower level.

To all weary travelers who are coming from out of state, looking for legit Korean food because you…read moreno longer live in Maryland, heed my words: get your butt over here!!! I haven't had legit Seolleongtang in years, probably even since childhood, and when I walked through the doors, the nostalgia filled me up within when greeted by the Korean 아지마 (ajima). The service was fantastic and we got our Assorted meat Seolleongtangs and banchan within 5 minutes. And oh man, the food was absolutely perfect! 10 out of 10, this is my new favorite place for Seolleongtang. The meats were absolutely tender, even for these types of cuts, and the broth was deliciously milky, and creamy. Another major highlight for both of us, however, what is the kimchi because it was in a very tangy sauce that blew our minds. Again, 10 out of 10. Please tell them "Thank You" in Korean (감사합니다) because you just tasted the best Seolleongtang in Maryland. Period and no cap!!

I think I went into Jangsu with pretty high expectations, so maybe that's why I left a little…read moreunderwhelmed. We tried the 육개장 칼국수 and the 설렁탕, and both were... just okay. Not bad by any means, but not quite what I was hoping for in terms of depth of flavor. That said, it's still probably one of the better Korean spots in the neighborhood. The space itself is really small and definitely gets busy, so be prepared for a bit of a wait or tight seating. Prices are also on the higher side (around $20 per dish), which adds to the expectations. I will say, the service was warm and friendly, which I appreciated. Overall, if you're not making Korean food at home, this is likely your best local option; but I might stick to my own bone broth next time

I thoroughly enjoyed this place and their pancake is so crispy, it was worth the cost. I have tried…read moreso many times at home but can never get it to be this crispy. The soup was delicious too and full of substance. This isnt your watery soup. There was so much in the soup that you would be surprised or be like "yea, this is how a soup should be". It is an older place, but they deserve to be up and running for years and years. We think this is a better spot than Annandale and Centreville. Service was attentive and plentiful. Inside is nice and clean.

We had 4 of us there over the weekend. Between us 75% are at least 100% to 50% Asian between…read moreKorean and Chinese and have been to many similar types of dining as this. Expecting to be great from all the reviews....mediocre at best. Overrated. Overpriced. We did 2 of the combo grill items and one entree. The grill experience just was not up to par. Rather than us grilling, they do it for you. So, first round with 2 different beef items, that seemed fine since it was grilled separately in the process aspect, but they took the meat off and swaped it so we could not grill as we wanted to as we wanted it. That first batch was way undercooked and very fatty. Second, tenderloin was ok. Then they did the combo beef and squid, and we saw that beef getting really nice, where we thought they would do the same in taking it off then doing squid. NOPE! THey just threw it all on and pretty much ruined the whole thing since we never intended to have them together...and for me, it was inedible since I can't eat seafood and squid particularly. WTF already. No mention of it in the menu unless it was in Korean language. Tossed that $ right down the crapper. As for ambiance and service, just don't have high hopes. The person doing the grilling split us up to access the grill and was constantly in the way of any conversation. Service? Hahaha..that's a 2 of 10 rating there. Never once even attempted to ask us if everything was ok, never asked if we needed anything or water, napkins, more food...just all business end and forget the rest. All 4 of us had the same thoughts. We had to pester them to get anything. This one is a one-and-done for all of us. It was so bad that I normally take images, and this was just not one for the books nor will ever be memorable other than an expensive mistake. Celebrity chef...whatever. Rosanne Barr is a celeb...'nuff said. This one can be skipped.

Tons of free parking. Accepts cash and credit card…read more This establishment is located off of Route 40, but is towards the back of the shopping center. Given the various Korean restaurants in the area, I must say that this place is a great spot for family, friends and group gatherings. The food here is very fresh and the staff are very friendly. We ordered various dishes from their LA Galbi, Bossam, Fish and tofu soup combo, seafood pancake, spicy pork and their rice cake soup. The LA Galbi was the best we had in town. Tons of flavor and the meat was juicy and meaty. The Bossam was delicious. Pork was tender and comes with sides to help you bring out the flavor of the dish. Definitely ask for their bean sauce and slices of jalapeño and fresh raw garlic. The fish and tofu soup is really good and can be shared with others. Fish was fresh and flaky. The seafood pancake was thick and has tons of seafood and comes with a nice dipping sauce. The spicy pork was plenty and has tons of flavor. Not too spicy. The rice cake soup was surprisingly good. Tons of flavor with slices of rice cake, eggs and pieces of beef. Great for sharing especially with young kids. Overall, this place is great to check out if you are in the area. Comes hungry and you will be satisfied. Cheers!

This place has HUGE PORTIONS, we ordered 4 dishes for 5 people and had soooo many leftovers. I…read morewould 100% come back, but I rated it a 4/5 just because I noticed in multiple dishes the meat was a little dry. This is my ranking for what we got. 1. Seafood Pancake -- such a comfort food and cooked perfectly! 2. Oh Sam Durichigi (pork and squid stir fry) -- we cleaned out this dish, great flavor! 3. Bossam -- worth the hype! The pork belly was not as flavorful but comes with sauces. Some the meat was dry for this dish. 4. Beef bulgogi (no pictured) -- honestly paled in comparison of the other dishes and had the driest meat. I wouldn't get it again tbh

The service is really great, everyone was very friendly and attentive. The food is delicious! They brought out a few pickled and fermented items, our favorite was the radish. We ordered kimchi rice balls to share, and they were really good. The seaweed on the outside was perfectly salty and crunchy. We also ordered Jjamppong, which was loaded with seafood and had a really delicious broth. Lastly we ordered the Tempura Udon. The broth was like a miso broth, the tempura vegetables were onions carrots and potatoes. The Udon had a great bite to them. All of the food came out super fresh and delicious. The prices were also very reasonable. Can't wait to go back!

Highly recommend you come here to try their various street food dishes.

You can't beat the value for the price. The lunch buffet is all you can eat sushi and Korean food…read more It's located in the rear of the Koreatown shopping center. The inside is pretty spacious. Plenty of seating available even when the parking lot is packed for the lunch rush. The price is 19 per person. The sushi was good but not all that great of a variety. Most contained tuna and salmon. The buffet had a lot of choices. I enjoyed the spicy pork and the bulgogi. Then also had a cinnamon punch and lemonade. This is my first time try cinnamon punch and I could say that it was quite interesting but not something I would get again. The lemonade was good but very sweet so I had to diluted with some water. Overall, a good place to come if you are very hungry because you will definitely be able to get your moneys worth .

**Good value for all-you-can-eat!…read more I came on a weekday for their lunch special with all-you-can-eat sushi and Korean dishes. The price is very affordable! You do have to be here from 11am-2pm (I believe). I came with a large group and we were seated very quickly. Everyone thought it was a fantastic value. My Korean friend even said some of the dishes remind him of his mom's cooking, which I think is a very high compliment :) Since it's so affordable and a buffet, don't expect anything intricate or outstanding. I found that some of the sushi was not savory/flavorful enough. And I wish there were some dessert options. But overall, I do like this place!

The boiled pork wasn't your traditional bossam - it was mostly fat cap instead of 1:1 for lean to fat cap. We had plenty of leftovers - would recommend coming here for a Korean pub experience!

Hang Ari is casual inside and makes you feel like you're in a Korean restaurant (I haven't been to Korea but it appeared that way). The menu was pretty extensive and while we were looking, the owner, Joe came over to explain how the menu worked. It was very helpful. We ordered the Seafood Pancake, Dogani Tang soup, Suk Uh Soondubu (beef & seafood mixed with soft tofu soup) plus Galbi combo. Small Korean sides of kimchi, cucumbers, radish, and a couple other items were brought out. I always enjoy eating the sides which were all good. The seafood pancake was huge and had a ton of green onions which I love. My Galbi was lightly sweet and tender. Joe came back to assist with cutting up the meat and turning the tofu soup for me so the flavors were mixed. I enjoyed the medium spicy level I got for the tofu soup and really enjoyed everything we got. Such a great find for some delicious Korean food. Staff were friendly and the owner, Joe was awesome. Will definitely plan on coming back again!
