Hadn't been back here in years, but came recently Saturday night, and it was just as good as I remembered! It was packed but we got one of the last tables available and were seated right away, others that came later had to wait. Service was great--staff were friendly and attentive. My favorite dish here is the Fried Chicken Wings with Garlic Sauce (Bone-in)--lollipop style wings, the flavor is unique and delicious, and the portion is huge! The Noodle with Pork & Black Bean Sauce and Noodle with Veg & Beef Spicy Seafood Soup are my top favorites noodle dishes here. We also got the Fried Dumplings, which were just okay. For drinks, they have a variety of Soju, another drink favorite of mine lol. Highly recommend this place! read more

I get my hair braided in this strip mall and had been wanting to check this place out for a while, I always appreciate the long standing restaurants, and that's often a good sign. I asked for recommendations, although I knew I was going to get their infamous Lolipop Chicken. It lived up to the hype! While a tad pricey for one person, the portion is HUGE and I will have leftovers for days! The chicken was piping hot and flavorful. I also love noodles, and recently hand pulled noodles. You can literally hear them slapping around your noodles in the kitchen! I also ordered the spicy seafood soup, which was recommended. I liked the chicken a little more than the soup, but the soup was a large portion as well and very shareable. I washed my meal down with a Korean beer. read more

Pros- Clean establishment Cons- High priced Food is ala carte Service could be more attentive We came to check this place out as my daughter likes it. In the door the place was clean and well lit. Our server was attentive to us in the very beginning b I t did decline. Menu choices to me were a little odd to include everything is ala carte, you dont even get rice with a meal. We were a party of 8 so we all ordered something different. For me the food lacked flavor and the fried beef was like eatting beef Jerry. We had some children with us who dont eat with chop sticks and getting regular utensils seemed difficult. Our server filled our waters in the beginning but that was it, after that finding her for anything was not happening. Finally, they attached a automatic gratuity which i have an issue with, I am a great tipper but if service sucks then it should be my decision on how much to tip. read more

We had the chicken lollipop and jajampong both were so good. The chicken was so delicious crispy outside and so juicy inside. The server was nice and fast. The restaurant looks like looks clean although they are almost closing. Highly recommend read more

The first time we tried Da Rae Won, it was dinnertime, and they were slammed, so we ended up eating their famous lollipop chicken in our car--and it was delicious. We came back for an early lunch and were seated on the other side of the restaurant, which was empty at the time. The service wasn't great until that section began to fill up. Even though they make their noodles fresh, the jjajangmyeon wasn't great. The noodles were on the softer side, and the sauce had very little flavor. The tangsuyuk, however, was a nice portion--we opted for the larger order for just $5 more. We would return to try their jjamppong, which many people were ordering. read more

Whenever I am in the area and have a craving for Kkanpunggi or Jajangmyeon this is place I go to. All the noodles are hand pulled. You can hear the slapping noise when they are making the noodles. I love their Kkanpunggi (lollipop chicken). It's probably their signature dish so don't miss out. What makes their Jajangmyeon great is their fresh noodles. You can't go wrong with either dish. read more

This is a whole in a wall located in Beltsville, MD. Not a fancy place but the food is amazing. They make their own noodles and you hear the person slapping the noodles in the table and as the guest, you can actually see them make their own noodles noodles. I went here on a Sunday and they have plenty of seating because it was earlier (before 5pm) but the place started getting busy as it gets later. Big serving on food so don't order too much.

I've been coming here for three decades. It's always nice to visit from time to time when I'm in the College Park area. I love their kanpunggi.

Da Rae Won is one of Beltsville's low-key gems for Korean-Chinese comfort food. If you know, you know. Started with the mandu--crispy, hot, and the perfect bite to warm up. The lollipop chicken was the surprise hit: juicy, lightly crispy, and super flavorful without being heavy. But the real reason I'll keep coming back? The black bean noodles. Thick, chewy noodles swimming in that rich jajangmyeon sauce... absolute comfort in a bowl. ‍ Fast and excellent service(shout out to Ellen), generous portions, and consistently good food. If you're anywhere near Beltsville and craving something comforting, Da Rae Won should be on your shortlist. Would absolutely return just for another noodle pull read more

We got the tang soo yuk, jjajangmyeon, and jjamppong and everything was so yummy! The portion size was huge and the service was great. The restaurant has a lot of seating and is clean and cozy. Will definitely return for my next noodle craving! read more

Incredible food, great space. Loved the lollipop chicken and the oversized dumplings.

The food was very good. Service was great. Definitely will be going back for the lollipop chicken.

When I am in the area looking for some fried chicken and jajangmyeon, Da Rae Won is the place I visit! I have visited this establishment multiple times and really enjoy the service and food here. I feel the food is prepared solidly and tastes great! One of the dishes I always look to get is their Lillipop Chicken, essentially their take a fried chicken. You get a very generous plate and the chicken is always crisp and full of flavor! If you do not want chicken, you can get other options such as pork or shrimp with the similar offerings of sauce which I have also tried and is good as well. I will say that the chicken with the bone is my favorite style here! The other dish I like to get is the jajangmyeon, noodles with black bean sauce. It is a simple, yet well-prepared dish that I never have complaints with. Da Rae Won always satisfies my craving for these noodles whenever I need it! The place can get busy at peak hours and it is with good reason, as it has been there for years and people keep coming back! read more

My brother and his fiance made the trek to Beltsville, MD just to try this place. They said the jjajangmyeon (noodle with pork and black bean sauce/ black bean noodle) was mid but loved the fried chicken (kkanpeunggi) so much, they ordered another to go and dropped it off. I've never seen anyone lollipop korean fried chicken. The sauce and seasoning was delicious, but the chicken was super over cooked. It ate dry and hard. Edit: I mentioned this place and my experience to a friend and they also had the exact same experience-- they came here because of rave reviews from peers and found the JJM to be bad but chicken and tangsuyuk to be good. We discussed this at a group dinner shortly after, and someone mentioned that they were under new management/ ownership. Oh no! Be advised. read more

Da Rae Won Restaurant - Fried chicken - Korean Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

This is one of our favorite restaurants around UMD. Our youngest is now a Terp and we will be back for sure. The Tang Su Yuk was delicious! The perfect balance of a light crispy fry hugging the juicy pork. We've had both the beef and pork and I definitely prefer the pork. The lollipop chicken was hot and crispy. And the black bean sauce was fantastic with the hand pulled noodles. I prefer the wok fried style as it's thicker and coins to the noodles more, but my family preferred the regular style as it's a bit more viscous and seems more "saucy". read more

Was in the area looked up food and this place popped up. Walked in and was greated with a friendly hello,the place smelled amaizng and the food on the other tables looke delicious. . Place wasnt packed and was seated immediately. Most meals are meant to be shared..We order the noodles with pork and black bean sauce as well beef with garlic sauce. The beef was amaizng flavor delicious..noodles were made perfect however first time having black bean sauce and feel like something was missing when mixed with the noddles but was good by itself. Will surely be back for the chicken lollipops that looked great read more

Woww, I loved everything I ate here! Very authentic Chinese-Korean food, and the prices and portions are great. The jjajangmyeon was exactly what I was looking for - great texture in the hand-pulled noodles, with lots of sauce and meat. The jjamppong had the same noodles, with lots of seafood and the perfect spicy soup. We also enjoyed the sea cucumber and the fried chicken with garlic sauce, although the chicken flavor was a bit on the sweeter side. We saw a lot of people ordering tangsuyuk, so we will definitely come back to try it. The staff are extremely friendly, and the service was fast. Inside there are many table in a large room, and it feels casual and homey. read more

Da Rae Won Restaurant - sea cucumber - Korean Near Me - Beltsville, Maryland

Apparently this place is by the word of mouth...it's full on a snowy weekday. Good luck finding a parking spot. We had the fried chicken wing with garlic sauce (as an appetizer). There were approximately 15 pieces and plenty for 2-4 people to share. Highly recommend. Noodle portion is huge. I wanted the seafood with veggies in spicy soup #5, but picked seafood with black bean sauce instead. The black bean sauce is a bit bland and hardly any seafood except for a few pieces of squid and shrimps. Maybe next time. Someone wrote - everyone leaves happy. Agree! It's a 30 minutes drive so it's a bit far, but I'd visit weekly or drop by when I shop at IKEA. read more

Legit! Authentic! I went for Cuban but ended up driving to eat Korean. I pulled up and all I see is Korean people going in and out of the door...great sign. I walk in and all I see is Korean people...great sign. The hostess greeted me and then another person greets me, we're seated within minutes...and they are busy. Waitress comes, water on the table BAM!! Followed by a lil pallet pleasing dish. 23 order...noodles, chicken, rice, soju and we're ready. Food comes and yes we got some recommendations...yes Lord. It's good. My recommendation go try it, ask for recommendations and enjoy!! And be ready to use chopsticks, they will give you a spoon if you need one...but go with the flow and enjoy every bite. A lot here is served family style so keep that in mind when you order. As for the feel of the place it's loud but not too loud, and it's comfortable mostly, nothing fancy but it just right. You're welcome!! read more

Came here for takeout. Order takes about 25mins. I tried their spicy lollipop wings and the jiajiamian with pork. Really enjoyed the wings, had good flavor. I got the extra spicy but could have used even more heat honestly. Portion was pretty large and definitely would last 2 meals. The noodles were good but not my favorite. Noodle portion was large, they gave the sauce in a separate container which I appreciate. Overall very tasty and would return. read more

Da Rae Won is a solid 4 in my books. I've heard many things about this restaurant based on their popular lollipop chicken and jajangmyeon dish. We came with friends and shared a bunch of dishes: lollipop chicken, fried pork, jajangmyeon, and fried gyoza. My favorite was the lollipop chicken - flavorful and delicious; while all my friends unanimously agreed the fried pork was the best. We also happen to agree the jajangmyeon was the least favorite dish of ours - it lacked some depth of flavor, whether it was salt or savory. I wouldn't go out of my way to get this particular dish. read more

Wonderful restaurant with delicious food and great service. Walked in on a Wednesday night for dinner, so it wasn't too busy with a lot of seating. Everyone was very kind and smiling as we walked in, which already made the experience great. The restaurant was very clean with minimal decorations. It got a little loud when they started to stretch the noodles, but it was a fun show. Servers were always attentive and not overbearing, filling out water at the right time and checking in. We ordered the fried rice with shrimp & vegetable, fried chicken with garlic sauce, and fried beef with garlic. Every dish came out with large portions, but each bite was amazing. Definitely want to try the noodles next time coming in. read more

I've been coming to this restaurant since I was a little girl and I'm now in my 30's and the food is still so yummy here! I know they did change owners, but I think they did a good job of making the place a bit more modernized without compromising the quality of their menu. I came with my family (aunts, uncles, and cousins too) on an early Saturday afternoon. We luckily found a spot to sit at, but the restaurant started to fill up quickly soon after. If it's your first time, you must try their signature regular jjajangmyun and tangsooyook (black bean noodles and sweet and sour chicken). We mostly ordered the jjajangmyun of course, jjampong, the lollipop chicken aka kkanpoongi, and tangsooyook. We ate all the appetizers up so quick and my family is usually pretty critical about food. I would say that one bowl of the black bean noodles can be too much for the average person to finish and no, this is NOT something that will taste good the next day so you should finish it in one sitting. You can also see the person making the dough for the noodles from scratch through a window too which is pretty neat, but I hope they don't feel awkward being watched haha. The wait for the food was not too long at all and service was great too! read more

I've been visiting Da Rae Won for as long as I can remember. It would be one of the better spots to order black bean noodles within the area. Not sure what's changed, but the noodles that they use currently is not the same as the texture has become soft and brittle, making it not flavorful to the palette. The black bean sauce is tasty, but when mixing with the noodles, the flavor is a little bland. In addition, I ordered the lollipop chicken and the beef tangsuyuk. The Lollipop chicken was delicious and flavorful. The beef tangsuyuk was a bit of a miss for me, as I was hoping for a more crispier, and not a burnt texture. Overall, this place has become a hit or a miss now. May be worth venturing elsewhere such as Virginia. read more

This place is so yummy! The prices are great and it's easy to park at the establishment. You can hear and see them making the noodles fresh. It's a lot of food for each serving and it's so good! We got the seafood soup and jajangmyun which we both shared and it was delicious. We were able to get a bowl to share. The space itself is not cozy but not huge but can definitely bring a big party to dine here. The service is super quick and efficient and they're happy to answer any questions you might have! I'll definitely be back! read more

One of my favorite spots to grab a meal....when in the Laurel, MD area. The service here is awesome, they are really attentive. The food is great with my favorite being the Garlic Soy Fried Chicken! The lollipop style fried chicken wings are tender, juicy and the garlic sauce is very flavorful. I tend to order mine spicy to get more a savory taste over the sweet profile these wings have, but nonetheless.....they are soooo good!! Another favorite, is the fried pork dumplings which are huge and taste great (I forgot to take a picture). Also, try the Jjampong Noodle soup. They make the noodles fresh and this dish does not disappoint. The noodles are also super fresh and chewy....like I like it. And, the broth especially for the seafood soups are delicious!! Highly recommend! Recommended dishes The jJamppong soup is delicious & has a unique flavor. The Fried Dumpling & Fried Chicken Wings in Garlic Sauce is a winner too. read more

1st - you hear the slapping of the noodles being made by hand. 2nd - you're seated and immediately given tidbits (actually not small) while you peruse a quite extensive menu. 1st time I went was with my son's girlfriend, who is Korean & had recommended the place. Every item was delicious, cooked to perfection, brought to the table sizzling hot and if you like bringing home leftovers, Da Rae Won has you covered!! I chose the safe way, my hubby was much more adventurous and was enraptured. Since that 1st time, every time I return often just for takeout now (hubby died), the slap of the noodles, the delicious smells, the friendly atmosphere brings back so many fantastic memories of many trips with the hubster. I hope that everyone can find a place like that. Food is Fantastic. Explore, enjoy, bring friends! read more

I enjoyed the crunch from the batter. The shrimp fried rice was super tasty and came in a big serving. The service is also superb.
