I've tried Pajeon all over Centreville/Chantilly area and this by far has been my absolute favorite! And the fact that I asked them to add some jalapeños for spice was even better! Inside Lotte in the far back right corner is this hidden gem! Oh and ask for some gochujang sauce...mix it with the dipping sauce if you like spicy!

It's clearly a local favorite--many Korean patrons were enjoying their meals, which is always a good sign. I went with two of the more popular dishes: the black bean noodles (jajangmyeon) and the spicy seafood noodle soup (jjamppong). Both were flavorful and satisfying. The broth in the seafood noodles was rich and bold, and the black bean sauce had that deep, savory kick I was hoping for. Service is minimal but efficient, and the vibe is casual and welcoming. Great spot for a quick, tasty meal that feels authentically Korean (American).

Stopped by for a quick lunch mid-week, and it was a great selection. Service was friendly, the food came out quickly, and it' a nice, modern vibe inside with some window seating on bar chairs and a couple small tables as well. Skewered tteok was fantastic. The tteok itself was the perfect texture, pillowy and soft, but with just the right amount of chew. Super easy to have tteok be a little over or a little under-done, and theirs was spot on. And much as I love the traditional tteok-beokki sauce, I really enjoyed the sweet chili sauce on these! Bulgogi kimbap was well above average as well. The seaweed wrapper was the right consistency, neither too soft nor too dry, and the ratio of wrapper to rice to filling was outstanding. I'll admit that I could have used a touch more picked radish, but that's a personal preference because I just really, really love the vinegar tang, overall they had the right ratio. Highly recommended if you're looking for kimbap

I seriously love this place so much…read more I got the tuna kimbap and the tteokbokki side platter, and everything was AMAZING. The kimbap was super fresh, perfectly balanced, and I have to say--it's honestly genius that they add avocado to the tuna. It made it so creamy and elevated the whole roll in the best way. The tteokbokki was just as good--perfectly chewy rice cakes with a rich, spicy-sweet sauce that tasted so authentic and comforting. You can really tell this spot cares about their food. It's easily my favorite place in the DMV and I'll keep coming back every time I'm craving Korean comfort food. Highly recommend!!

When I visited, we were trying to find a nice Korean restaurant that isn't your typical KBBQ. This…read moreplace definitely hit the spot. We got an assortment of items to try out. We ordered kimbap, rose tteok-bokki and some Korean Fried Chicken. All of the items that we ordered were great and satisfying. We also ordered their cold noodles and it was pretty big portions. I would say that eating here in person is probably better than doing take out. I think the take out amount is a bit smaller. So yes, I've eaten this twice and both times I enjoyed it. It's not too heavy but they also have dishes that are on the heavier side. Service wise, they were very friendly and it's a mom and pop shop. It's limited seating and when we visited they had a lot of take out. I can see myself coming back here.

We checked out Unlimeat on a Saturday late afternoon, and it was still buzzing--always a good sign…read more They do take reservations (which I recommend), and when we arrived our table for six was ready to go. Fair warning: the table setup is a little tight--especially when the guys take up 80% of the real estate. At one point I think the grill had more elbow room than we did That said, the experience really shines where it matters. The service was fantastic--fully attentive without being overbearing. Our server (a woman whose name I unfortunately forgot) was incredibly on point. We didn't have to ask once for refills on the complimentary banchan--they just kept appearing right when we needed them. She somehow kept perfect pace with our very serious meat consumption. We went with the premium package ($58 per person), which also includes the essentials. Our mission was clear: try as many cuts of beef as possible--especially ribeye--and we stayed committed. No time (or stomach space) left for chicken or pork. Priorities! We did try the butter lemon bay scallops... honestly, that's probably a skip next time. Not bad, just not worth the grill space when the beef is that good. All the sides were fresh, especially the greens, which balanced out the meat-heavy feast nicely. Location-wise, it's super easy to find--right across from Captain Pells--and there's shared parking in the strip mall, which wasn't an issue. Bottom line: we'll definitely be back--for the outstanding service and the quality of the meats. Come hungry and ready to commit.

Came here not expecting much…read more A lot of the new KBBQ that have been opening up have been huge let-downs. Went with their premium AYCE and ordered majority of their different styles of meat. I was actually impressed the selections didn't taste cheap; brisket was my favorite. They offer rib-eye and marinated short rib which were decent. Not the best Rib eye and Galbi in the area (Meokja takes that crown), but definitely not cheap tasting. I enjoyed it. They also offer unlimited chapaghetti and Buldak; my friends enjoyed that but I wasn't a fan of filling up with instant noodles haha I rather eat more meat. This place is on the pricier side, but I'd say it's a solid 4 star establishment imo.

It wasn't as thick as I'd like, but the flavor was yummy and great with the bowl of rice that comes with; filled with lots of tofu, mushrooms, and potatoes +Yuhl Moo Bibim Guk Soo - a spicy noodle dish with radish kimchi; this was more on the sweeter end; noodles were prepared perfectly, but wished this was more spicier and more savory There was marinated seaweed salad and kimchi served as banchans. Service was very kind and friendly. Note that this place gets slammed during the lunch and dinner rush - you'll see ahjummas, ahjushees, harabujees, and halmunees all lined up, getting their stews, bibimbops, and soups - definitely a popular spot! Since they have a small kitchen, orders are usually backed up, and you'll be waiting at least 30+ minutes or so. Plenty of seats at the food court area, and plenty of parking in the plaza lot. +Chung Guk Jahng +friendly service +located inside Lotte +plenty of parking

For appetizer, we shared Cucumber with Garlic Sauce which was so refreshing and delicious. For noodles, we ordered Flounder Noodle Soup and Beef Noodles Soup.

The dumplings were amazing and very filling! The ambiance is very casual but nothing like your usual Chinese restaurant. It is modern and quite spacious. The service is good and I have no complaints. Would definitely love to come back.

BLUF: Service was good - helpful, friendly, kind, welcoming. Food was also good and a decent value…read more A little pricey but seemed fresh, hot. Venue was pleasant for a quick bite to eat with a few friends when it's not crowded. Dumplings and noodle dishes were tasty and perfect to satisfy a noodle craving. Noodles a little gummy but flavors were bright and savory. Perfect for a quick, light meal. Service was simply how it should be. Available. Accessible. Helpful. Polite. Kind. Well-versed on the menu. Worth the drive? Yes, it's easy to park and to run in for takeout or dine-in. The food is tasty, especially if you're a noodle fan. Not a huge variety of menu items but they do well with what they have. Portions are not bad given the shrinkflation induced by this horrible economy. Two orders of dumplings, order of noodles, small appetizer, pot of tea were enough to fill three adult bellies.
