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!!

Their seafood pancake is one of the best in this area it is crispy outside and soft inside. Their galbi is tender and chewy, flavorful but not too sweet. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the neighborhood.

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.

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!

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!
