Mapo tofu ramen. DO NOT ORDER! Absolutely no taste, no meat, dunno what I'm eating except speech mush.

Leichardti F.

Bulgogi. This only thing hot spot on. $80+ bucks for 3 things? Kind of ridiculous. Only because I see 3 diplomatic Korean cars get out and go inside. Honestly in Hawaii. No donkatsu? Why? It's in your menu. Mabutofu noodles, no taste at all taste like spicy mush, no pork in it either? Fried shrimp with mayo? Knock off chinese, get the chinese one, taste 10x better, walnut shrimp. Does not justify in my mind $20 huge plate of mix & match? 50x better. Look up Soon's BBQ if you in Honolulu.

I was able to walk in with no wait time around lunch time. Our waitress was attentive and even made suggestions to try some house dishes, definitely recommend trying at least 1. Prices are average and I would definitely try again for lunch again or even dinner! Very family friendly, I was able to take my grandmother and she loved how friendly the staff was!

I came here for lunch and thought that it was a great Korean-Chinese restaurant! As someone from NYC, it's so difficult to find Korean-Chinese fusion dishes so when I found one while I was in Virginia, I was so happy! The restaurant is homey and casual, with great quick service. We ordered their special dumplings, jjajjangmyeon, tansuyuk, beef fried rice, and donkatsu. It was an all-around amazing meal. The dumplings were huge and saucy (despite being so red, they were actually fairly sweet). The jjajjangmyeon and tangsuyuk were hits and both delicious. I also loved how they gave black bean sauce and jjampong broth on the side for you to enjoy with your fried rice. The only dish that might've been a miss was the donkatsu as we thought it was a bit dry. Otherwise, everything was great and I would definitely come back if I was craving Korean-chinese fusion, or just a comforting meal!

We ordered takeout from here for a party several hours ahead of time on their website. While most of the food was pretty good (lo mein, fried rice, bulgogi), the spicy squid dish was disappointing. The sauce was watery, so most of the squid was unseasoned/didn't hold the sauce, and the squid had a more rubbery texture. The reason why I give 4 stars and not 3 is because the staff told us they lost our order, but were able to spin up the 5 dishes we ordered in record speed of under 7 minutes to get our pick-up order ready in time, which I really appreciated! Maybe next time I'd come back I'd try dine-in and focus on their Chinese-Korean dishes like jajangmyun, which is more of their specialty.

Health: On the heavy side, but genuine enough for what's in the cuisine. It's a slightly Americanized portion Korean restaurant. Not bad for someone who knows what's actually in each dish. Not exactly light though. Price: Decent. Not too bad either way. The portion size is definitely enough for what you pay for a dish. Experience: Made pretty quickly. I arrived on the later side and they were accommodating. The interior was clean, the menu was clear with English and Korean. Good. Taste: Very flavorful, and with a decent variety to it. Each dish tasted as good as it looked, without too many good or bad surprises. Though, I will say the dumplings were very good. Kinda heavy, but the sauces did add so much flavor. Them being made in house was a bonus. Green flag. Very nice Good taste. Significant portions for the price. Fast Service. Overall, not bad. I might come here again.

Great service Clean Slight less portion from other Korean-Chinese noodle places but it hits the spot For sure Tasty Will come back again for sure

My wife, two teenage sons, and I came here in early August 2025 for a Saturday night dinner. First, it's a clean, informal place that's family-friendly with lots of parking in a strip mall. The location is a few minutes south from the Lotte Plaza in Centreville - kind of close to the Route 29 and New Braddock Road intersection. Second, the Tang-Su-Yuk with pork was amazing - very tasty. The regular jja-jjang myun noodles were OK, but not particularly flavorful. One of my sons ordered the jjam-pong which he enjoyed a lot. I think it's probably better to dine-in at the restaurant because it's best to eat the Tang-Su-Yuk while it's hot. Third, the service was very good. After ordering within a few minutes of arriving, we were asked if everything was OK (or if we needed a refilling of water or the appetizer tray of yellow radishes and onions). I think it's a solid option for Korean-Chinese food in northern VA.

TAKEOUT REVIEW : Ordered takeout for 2 for dinner. We ordered jjang meon, medium chicken tang su yuk, and combo b+c (fried tied and jjang meon). We picked up the food pretty quickly after it was called in and got home within 5 minutes. Noodles were already room temp when opened the takeout out. Jjang meon sauce was also not hot. This made for a barely warm bowl. The fried rice was good and had a nice smokey flavor. Chicken tang su yuk was very crispy and this was actually hot. Overall everything tasted good but the temperature was off for the noodle dish. I think eating in person instead of getting takeout would be a better experience but I guess this was okay for what it was

Nikki T.

Portions here are always massive. My favorites are the yoo rin gi pork and the japchae jjangjangmyun. The japchae jjangjangmyun especially is a pretty big portion for the price! (I think 12.99?) (However I wouldn't get the regular jjangjangmyun it was alright)

Soo L.

Good fusion alternative to Jang Won for Korean Chinese Tried this place in March to venture out from Jang Won which is my go to Korean Chinese place in Centreville. Hao ru is easy to find and located in a quieter and smaller shopping center. The decor is straightforward and clean but nothing special. Clientele skews younger and appeared to be mostly Asian. Service is good with to the point interactions (I speak Korean so no language barrier). Got the fried dumplings to start (dumplings are large, crispy, and tasty), seafood jjam pong (stir the broth prior to eating since the broth tasted better on the bottom; some of the veggies in there were non traditional but hey it works), tang jja myun ie combo b + d (jja jang myun was a bit sweet for my liking but still good. Tang su yook was good), and khan poong shrimp (best dish of the spread. Shrimp was fresh and fried coating was perfectly chewy, spicy, and sweet). I think the flavors here are more fusion vs traditional korean chinese but enjoyed the dishes nonetheless. I liked the jjam pong better than the jja jang myun. Curious to try the cream shrimp next time!

Fabian M.

It's up there with Jang Won. JaJaMyun and TangSuYuk sauce is smoother than Jangwon. Taste is more suddle. Portions is healthier than Jangwon. JamPong broth carried the same characteristics as well, smooth and suddle. Prices also slightly cheaper than JangWon. On a Wednesday night and it's packed with Korean families, is a good sign. Service was attentive and friendly. Always checked on our table.

Haoru is a family friendly restaurant that won't break your bank. There aren't too many Korean-Chinese food options in Centreville. I have tried Haoru for about 2 years now. I think the food, cleanliness and service was better in the beginning. I think it is the natural order of things for restaurants to get dirty over time, but there are improvements to be made in terms of cleanliness. The portion size is generous for a good price. I like their brisket Jjampong and gan jjajang. The tang su yuk here doesn't have a whole lot of batter around it so I appreciate that. You can either pour the sauce or dip the individual pieces based on your preference. Also, this is a tip: put some ice cubes in the pickled radish along with some vinegar. It'll make the radish crunchier. There are plenty of parking in the mall.

Seafood gan ja jan was standard we ended up ordering more noodles to soak up the sauce.

Ha T.

Not as good as it used to be. The creamy lemon shrimp used to have a crisp exterior but the sauce is now fully seeped in. Flavor is still nice and shrimp and portion is huge, but I miss it seeming freshly fried and then tossed in sauce. Chive japchae was new to me but I thought there would have been some glass noodles in the dish like typical japchae rather than the chive replacing it. The seafood gan ja jan was standard we ended up ordering more noodles to soak up the sauce.

I ordered this to go and it was piping hot and the portions were large. Really delicious and you know it's a good sign when the restaurant is packed! Will definitely be trying more dishes in the future! Staff was very polite too. read more

Tried the pork tang su yuk and chicken fried rice. The tang su yuk was among the better tang su yuks that I've had and was pretty enjoyable overall. The chicken fried rice came with jja jang myun sauce and jampong soup to pour on the top as well, which I hadn't seen before. I enjoyed the fried rice and the chicken + egg were well cooked. However, I did feel it was a bit salty, which might've been caused by pouring the entirety of the jampong soup on top of the rice. Overall, I enjoyed this restaurant and would come back for more cafeteria style korean food. read more

I came in here a couple of weeks ago for an early dinner since I had a little over an hour to kill before the movie started at nearby Centerville Cinemark. This place is an excellent introduction if you have never had Korean food before. I got jang meon (stir-fried vegetables, black bean sauce, and pork, $8.99), job tang over rice (sea cucumbers, squid, mussels, scallops, shrimp, and stir-fried vegetables, $17.99), and ginger ale ($2.00). The servings were generous but not too large. The job tang was excellent. I tried it because it had so many types of sea food, including sea cucumbers, which I had never had before. I didn't even know people ate them. They were good--they tasted like shrimp I would say, but with a more rubbery texture, but not a rubbery taste. The service was quick and friendly. I had had octopus tentacles before, but never whole octopus. I was having trouble with the stainless steel chopsticks, so they gave me some bamboo ones. There were several families there having dinner who appeared to be regulars. Having a crowd of regulars is always a good sign. All of the ingredients were fresh and tasty, so no problems there. Korean seafood is very different from American seafood, but you should try it at least once. it has its own style, not like Chinese seafood or Japanese sushi or sashimi. Keep up the excellent work. No complaints. read more

The quality of food was exceptional and the price was reasonable.

Randomly found this restaurant on yelp while searching for a new Korean-Chinese place for dinner. Given the few ratings I knew it was a new establishment but the photos looked pretty promising so we decided to give it a shot. Usually a photo doesn't mean a thousand words in the food kingdom...I've been disappointed countless times by the perfect photo facade that lead to many empty promises upon the first bite however this place did not disappoint! My hubby ordered the Jjamjjamyun (Combo A+B) and I ordered the Tangjjammyun (Combo D+A) but as extra spicy versions of the Jjambbong. The soup was super spicy (not for those with weak GI tracts) but well seasoned and flavorful. The seafood was fresh and not over cooked which I appreciated. The noodles were a solid lightly chewy texture and honestly the jjajangmyun was good but not super memorable only because the Tangsuyuk was the highlight of the meal! The sauce is similar to other places in the area (I've been to ALL Korean-Chinese places in Northern Virginia - seriously... ALL of them) and is what you expect the sauce to be like - sweet and tangy with just the right consistency. However the meat was incomparable with the perfect seasoning of salt and black pepper you can actually taste and coated with a light crispy coat that made for the perfect ratio, not making it seem like you're eating mostly breading as you might find at most other restaurants. I'm sure as with every other restaurant that starts out we might see a little demise in the quality over time, but I hope the Tangsuyuk never changes...or I will be forever lost until the next best thing comes around... read more

Ordered here for the first time to try out a different Korean restaurant (we usually order at Jangwon Restaurant) because the prices are the same. We ordered large for all the meat portions and multile black bean noodles/jjajangmyeon because we had family coming over and the portions are ridiculously small. The large is more like a small that someone had taken a couple bites before packing it up for pickup. The portion for the black bean noodles/jjajangmyeon was barely not enough to satisfy our 8 year old as it was that small. The taste is fine but for the portion size and the price... definitely not worth it. Won't be ordering here again. read more

TLDR: An incredible hidden gem serving some of the best Korean food I've had. Outstanding bossam,…read moregenerous portions, warm hospitality, and a cozy atmosphere make this an easy 10/10. What feels like a hidden gem serves some of the best Korean cooking I've tasted. The bossam was incredibly aromatic and came with a massive portion of fresh kimchi that was cut tableside, making for a fun dining experience. Together, it was more than enough to satisfy two hungry diners. The banchan selection was equally impressive and paired beautifully with the meal. The restaurant itself is cozy, clean, and welcoming, while the service felt warm, genuine, and comforting, almost like dining in someone's home. My only suggestion would be to offer a more fermented kimchi option as a side dish. All of the kimchi we tried was very fresh, and I personally would have loved a tangier, more developed flavor. Overall, this is an easy 10 out of 10. I would absolutely recommend it and will definitely be back.

The menu was extensive, filled with lots of homey options that I don't usually see in other restaurants. After ordering, we were served six different banchans, all of which were incredibly homey -- light and not too savory. My favorites were the acorn jelly (which was mixed with salted seaweed and sesame seeds) and the white kimchi. Honestly, all six were really solid. AL TANG - 19.99 Super savory with lots of "sea sweetness" and umami, this stew was rich and piping hot upon arrival. I've never had al tang before, but have heard great things about it. Unfortunately, I didn't love the texture of fish roe (kind of reminded me of the texture of cooked chicken lungs). By the end of the stew, I thought it was too salty, so I didn't end up finishing it. Overall, I'm glad I tried it, but I probably won't get it again. My friend got the mackerel which he loved. I'll look forward to other items on the menu next time.

Service was great! We ordered the budae jjigae (army stew) and jokbal (braised pig's trotters). The stew hit the spot as we were all craving something warm and soupy. It was filled with plenty of toppings. Note that if you want to add ramen they will charge you an extra fee. The jokbal came out cold so we requested that they warm up the food. The owner said that their store usually serves its jokbal cold. I thought that was strange, because I've never eaten jokbal cold. I will definitely come back again for their budae jjigae!

We ordered the king donkatsu, Gimmari, Tteokbokki, and Fish Cake Soup, and every dish was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Gimmari was surprisingly huge. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better. Next time, I'm coming back for the stone pot bibimbap and kimbap. I saw a table of non-Korean customers enjoying them cutting the kimbap like steak and eating the hot stone bibimbap with forks and they still cleaned their plates despite the huge portions That said it all. My only "complaint" is that the king donkatsu is so huge it takes forever to cut it into pieces... but that's definitely a good problem to have!

The Food: I had their Spicy Tuna Kimbap, Spicy Pork Belly over Rice and their King Donkatsu. Everything tasted amazing. The Kimbap was proportionally generous and the spicy tuna was on point with the spice level. The Spicy Pork over rice was easily one of my favorites here. The spicy marinade on the pork was flavorful and the meat itself was tender and cooked just right. As for the Donkatsu, it was absolutely huge! A big piece of pork cutlet fried nicely let me in a food coma. The Service: Service was great. I ordered at the kiosk to see pictures of some of the food items, but you can order at the front as well. Food came out within a reasonable of time as well. They have a area for utensils/water and another area for you to bring your dirty plates after you're done, so that was nice. The Atmosphere: Spacious with plenty of seating.

If you're on the lookout for a gem, HAO RU is the place to be. My recent dining experience here left me thoroughly impressed, earning it a well-deserved five-star rating. The standout feature of HAO RU is undoubtedly the unparalleled quality and diversity of its Korean-Chinese cuisine. Unlike other establishments in the DMV area, HAO RU's menu offers a unique and elevated experience, showcasing a range of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. I am also looking forward to their seasonal menus, adding an element of excitement and anticipation for future visits for me. While the ambiance at HAO RU is modest and unassuming, it is by no means lacking. The atmosphere is comfortable, neither overly lavish nor lacking in cleanliness. What truly shines is the family-like service--friendly, efficient, and attentive. Dishes arrive promptly, allowing you to savor every bite without unnecessary delays. On the downside, during peak hours, there might be a slight slowdown in service, especially when the restaurant is packed with diners. Additionally, the seasonal menus are precisely that--seasonal. If you have your heart set on a particular seasonal dish, you may need to wait until the appropriate season rolls around. One notable challenge for some patrons, including myself, is the location of HAO RU. Situated near and past Dulles Airport, it requires a bit of a drive for those not in the immediate vicinity. Compared to Korean dining areas like Ellicott City or Annandale, it may seem a tad out of the way. However, for anyone willing to make the extra effort, HAO RU's exceptional cuisine makes the journey more than worthwhile. *My Personal Grading:* - 5 stars: Unparalleled, near perfection, an absolute must-visit. - 4 stars: Exceptional, leaving a lasting impression and worth revisiting. - 3 stars: Average, providing a standard dining experience without major highlights. - 2 stars: Below expectations, not recommended unless necessary. - 1 star: Strongly discouraged, better to avoid under any circumstances. In conclusion, HAO RU earns a solid five-star rating from me. Its exceptional food quality, diverse menu offerings, and friendly service make it a standout destination, worth visiting despite its location for anyone seeking an unforgettable dining experience. read more

Ordered a variety of things and they were all very good. The Tang Su Yuk is especially good. The pork one was so good, I'm going to give the chicken a try next time. They were really on-time with preparing my order to-go, and I really liked how they prepare their noodles in a container so that you can just pour your soup/sauce over it without needing to make a mess. Owner guy seems really committed to making the restaurant run smooth to give customers a convenient dining experience. Everyone working was wearing a mask and the restaurant itself was spotless as far as I can tell. This place will probably be my new go-to for some Ja Jang noodles. Five thumbs up! read more

The food offered was quite enjoyable, with generous portion sizes and reasonable pricing considering the quality provided. The Tangsuyuk featured larger pieces of meat than similar establishments, and the crispy skin was a notable highlight. The Ja-jang-Meon struck a pleasing balance, not overly salty or sweet, while the sauce accompanying the dumplings was well-balanced. The Jjampong broth was also flavorful, featuring a commendable mix of seafood and pork broth. Overall, the service and ambiance met expectations; it was prompt and friendly and maintained a clean environment. read more

If you're on the hunt for good, cheap food with generous portions, this place is worth a visit. The medium-sized fried pork was surprisingly large--I was genuinely shocked by how much food came out. The quality is solid, even if it doesn't blow you away. The Ja Jang Meon noodles were perfectly cooked, and the Seafood Jjam Pong was packed with flavor and came in a portion big enough to share. Overall, it's not gourmet, but the value for the price makes it a great spot for everyday dining. Perfect for those who appreciate getting a lot of food without breaking the bank. read more
