    Cocktail
    Michelle W.

    Fun spot for Korean food. Friday and Saturday at 10pm, it turns into a club where a DJ plays music and people start dancing till closing. It gets pretty loud so wouldn't recommend if you want a more quieter spot for late night food. We ordered kimchi pancake, hotteok, and cocktails which hit our late cravings. They also have karaoke rooms. Parking is a bit difficult especially at night. Surrounding parking areas either are blocked off or have towing signs posted.

    Corn cheese and makers mark cocktail
    Katherine T.

    Came here to celebrate a friends birthday over the weekend and it was my first time. I wasn't aware of how popular this place is so right off the bat, I and a couple other cats struggled to find parking around 9:30 on Saturday night. If you have ever been to Bar Bao in Clarendon, that's kind of the vibe of this place so I can see why it gets packed so fast! Definitely plan ahead as I spent about 5-10 minutes waiting for a spot to open up. When you walk inside, you follow the path to the automatic doors and a friend I met up with and I were able to walk to our table. It did take a while for servers to come around but it was already a bit busy so I ended up going to the bar to order my food. I got my drink there and ordered the Makers Mark because of the mango in it and really enjoyed the drink! I give it a 4/5. I also ordered corn cheese and chicken dumplings -- I really liked the crunchiness of the dumplings since their pan fried (5/5) and I ended up sharing my corn cheese with a friend and really enjoyed that as well! I give it a 4/5. The place because a partial dance floor as it hits 11pm with a security guard checking ID's as people start to really flow in. It became super congested at the bar area and the DJ stand which is pretty standard of what a restaurant turned bar looks like. Music was not too much of my taste but others seemed to really enjoy it! Overall, I rate the experience a 3.5/5, I would probably go back with a group of friends and hopefully see if there's a difference in music

    Large space and lots of seating! More into the night it got even busier. It's pretty loud from lots of people talking and music. Unfortunately I wasn't too impressed even though I've heard so many good things about here. Maybe we ordered the wrong items Mark's Maker - way too strong for me. Also weirdly sweet in a way that doesn't mix from the honey 0.5/5 Soju punch - juiceee. Not bad I guess but too sweet too 2.5/5 Army stew - a bit too thick and feels like it's missing something in the flavor 2.5/5

    volcano omurice and tacos
    Tanny D.

    JMT Kitchen and Bar has been on my list for quite some time and I finally got the opportunity to go check it out. The menu looked promising and there seemed to be some good options. We decided to order food family style and got the spicy pork tacos, volcano omurice and braised spicy pork ribs with cheese. Out of the lineup the spicy pork tacos were my favorite. Although not spicy, the flavors worked well together. The volcano omurice tasted very sweet, not as savory or umami as I expected, based on trying this dish at many other restaurants. It was quite hard to eat. Finally, we were at least hoping that the spicy pork ribs would actually be spicy but nope, pretty sweet again. The flavor profiles for the last two dishes seemed very one dimensional. A bit disappointing as the ribs were quite pricy. We literally could not finish it. As for the drinks, I got the Yogurti Martini and my friend got the Marks Maker. My drink was just ok, and a bit too sweet for my liking but my friends was pretty good. Overall the restaurant seems nice and large, pretty good for large gatherings. The service was also pretty decent. But unfortunately the food was pretty disappointing. I had high hopes and this one just didn't make the mark.

    Takoyaki and sweet and spicy gyoza
    Kanitha O.

    We recently checked out JMT Kitchen & Bar on a Saturday night after hearing great things from friends -- and we definitely came hungry. We ordered a spread: gyoza with sweet and spicy sauce, kimchi pancakes, fried shrimp, soy garlic wings, takoyaki, LA galbi, and jjampong with noodles... plus way too many drinks. We arrived early and scored prime seats by the bar, which turned out to be perfect, especially once the night shifted into more of a club vibe with a DJ. The energy was great, and most of the food was surprisingly delicious -- everything hit except the jjampong. We were expecting udon noodles, but it came with thin, clear noodles instead, and the flavor was a bit off for us. That said, the staff handled everything perfectly, and it didn't take away from the rest of the experience. Between the food, drinks, and nightlife atmosphere, we had an awesome time and will definitely be back. If you're looking for a spot that delivers on both taste and fun without compromise, this is it.

    Spicy pork ribs
    Tori H.

    I found JMT's tiktok and thought it was a vibe and a casual bar scene, but was surprised that they had tables. It's a huge spot, that used to be a cafe and back in the day was a Chinese grocery store. For how large the space is, I don't think they have many customers yet.. The parking lot doesn't hold too many cars, that with it sharing with the ramen spot and A&J. Shoutout to Chad, our bartender who made us the prettiest new soju drinks!! I don't remember the names, but one was mixed with red wine- sooo tart, and one was like a rum punch, but reminded me of college days bc it tasted strong of pineapple. The food: OMG YOU CANNOT GO WRONG WITH LITERALLY ANYTHING YOU ORDER! JMT loaded fries- PLS IF YOU ORDER ANYTHING ORDER THIS 1000/10 It is LOADED, with chicken, and pork and yummy sauce and so many fries! It's enough for 2-3 people. Spicy pork ribs- Charred to perfection! I wouldn't order it on a date there though, it gets MESSY! The spicy sauce tastes very good, there's cheese and a good cheese pull, and the ribs were so tender! I'd 10/10 go again for the fooood!

    Corn Cheese
    Ailun H.

    JMT was our second choice for pocha options in Annandale since the one we initially wanted to go to was closed for a private event. The interior is dark with some neon wall decor, more of a modern take on pochas with cafeteria-style tables and seating. BRAISED SPICY PORK RIBS W/ CHEESE - 34.95 It came on a cast iron skillet over a wooden fire grill to keep it warm and toasty. There might have been 8-10 pork ribs in each order. The ribs themselves were on the leaner side and lacked the tender juiciness we were expecting. It was also pretty dry if you don't smother it in sauce (which was pretty runny, so it doesn't stick easily to the pork). We could definitely use more cheese, too. The potato cubes were a nice topping, which soaked up more of the slightly sweet and spicy sauce. We thought it was OK. Probably not worth it for the price. CORN CHEESE - 11.95 The corn cheese was our second favorite dish out of the five we ordered, which is a bit sad. You really can't mess up corn cheese. But we enjoyed the seasoning on the corn cheese and its perfect cheese-mayo ratio. The cheese pull was solid. It was cooked on a skillet pate, which made a difference. PORK KIMCHI TOFU - 24.95 The presentation looked pretty, so we were excited to eat it. The firm tofu on its own was bland and flavorless without any seasoning or marinade. The pork kimchi was flavorful, but dry. This was a very healthy tasting dish, and not bad by any means. But if I wanted something like this, I would just make it at home. At a pocha, I'm hoping to eat something greasier. ROSÉ DDUKBOKKI - 16.95 The rosé ddukbokki had a good amount of rice cakes, napa cabbage, fish cakes, a single hard-boiled egg, and generously topped with cheese. This has got to be the best rice cake I've ever had. It was perfectly chewy and soft, with a nice bounce every bite. It also soaked up the sauce nicely, which was creamy, sweet, and slightly spicy. The fish cakes and napa cabbage were definitely more of a supporting topping, but still delicious nonetheless. If you order food at JMT, you have to get the rosé ddukbokki. JMT WINGS (10 PCS) - 20.95 We got them with two sauces: sweet & spicy and soy garlic. Most of us preferred the soy garlic over sweet & spicy. Overall, these wings were nothing to write home about, and I'd rather order some from bb.q instead. The five of us were honestly here for pocha food and not so much for the drinks. Maybe the drinks are better, but we were pretty disappointed with the overall quality of food at JMT. We only really enjoyed the rosé ddukbokki, which we'd highly recommend for that silky, chewy rice cake.

    Yaki Udon
    Britney B.

    I stopped by with some friends to catch the Commanders game, and our server was super nice--making sure we got a table with a perfect view of the TV. The vibe here is awesome--really lively--and they even have a DJ that starts playing some great hits later in the evening. We ordered the Pork Kimchi Tofu, Yaki Udon, Sweet & Spicy Wings, and Corn Cheese. The Pork Kimchi Tofu was amazing, with flavorful pork, tangy kimchi that balanced everything out, and cool tofu that toned down the spice. The Yaki Udon was packed with flavor, and the wings? Crispy, juicy, and easily some of the best I've had. But the real standout for me was the Corn Cheese--it had this subtle sweetness, and the cheese pull was insane. Plus, the portion was just right! There are tons of drink options and even a few desserts to choose from. I went for the Hotteok, and it was the perfect sweet treat to end the night. Overall, it's an awesome spot to hang out with friends, grab some great food, and just have a good time!

    always a classic, im not a big fan of their budae jjigae but love the somaek tower and drinks. it can get quite crowded after 11 pm on weekends so if you want a table come around then.

    Pork ribs w/ cheese did
    Jimmie P.

    This spot was ok. It can get a little loud, mostly the music. Service was fast. It was cold I asked for hot tea and they didn't have any. All the food was good how except I didn't care to much for the ribs Soy garlic wing, dynamite shrimp and the LA Galbi all really good choices. The spicy pork ribs w/ cheese did not have any flavor, they were not spicy and cheese seemed to be just there.

    Wings
    Steven T.

    This spot was serving up all the typical Korean comfort foods with a modern vibe. While not the best food we have ever had, this spot definitely satisfies the craving. The Rose Ddukbokki was cheesy, spicy, and very flavorful with the perfectly chewy rice cakes. This was also my first time having Korean Army Stew and it was like a goodie bag filled with different tasty treats - from spam, noodles, fish cakes and more! Nice local neighborhood spot.

    Shaking beef and spicy rice cakes
    Shelby P.

    Pretty good experience! Love the unique menu and how much they have to offer. The rice cakes were delicious. Fair spice level and a lot of food for the cost. We gave the feedback at the resturant but the shaking beef has way too much watercress. It would also be nice for more a description written for the item as the dish had cilantro on it and she really didn't prefer it. Service was prompt and helpful in making our selections.

Came here with a large group of friends and we ate very well!! All the dishes were yummy, so can't complain.

They were playing country music but we asked for it to be changed and they were very accommodating! BTW at night, the lighting in the restaurant is a bit dark and food looks very contrasted dark.

There only seemed to be one or two waiters in the whole restaurant and we were checked up on maybe once after receiving our food, even though it was shockingly empty. The food itself was good, rosè tteokbokki was spicy and texture was perfect. Kimchi pancake was also crispy and had a good ratio of batter to kimchi, but it was pretty bland and definitely needed the sauce. Kkanpungi was decent as well as the buddaejiggae and prices were fair. Drink pictures may be misleading so make sure to look at the description! Anyways the whole experience felt like we were just eating in the dark with quiet background music. Don't expect anything for birthdays either. Anyways would go back for the food but extremely lacking ambiance wise.
