    YUBU close-up. As good as it gets.

    *YUBU- A Foodie's Fastfood* Now this appeared out of nowhere. Not even found on the main menu, you gotta look out for it in one of the stalls. I am talking about topping-yubu. This is rizz in Korea. Small in size yet packing a taste profile equivalent to a full-sized meal, it is popular among ladies watching for calories and foodies that have limited stomach bandwidth but greedy to experience a spectrum of flavor in a sitting. I noticed my wife bought one plate and left it on the dining table. Obviously she went up for a change in clothing so I sneaked just ONE into my mouth and it was truly shocking- the flavor is so steeped with umami that the rice underneath provided a subtle sweetness to envelope the main topping like how a soft bagel would buffer any smoky edge of a lox, aaand... it's magi-gone! So up goes another one into my mouth. This time from spicy chicken to beef steak! Two is clearly enough to satiate hunger so I was quite surprised by the value primed into this edible contraption. Hmmm... but how would the other one taste like.... And another... Mmmm...! Believe me I had such a good laugh when my wife saw an empty tray and gave me THE death stare. It quickly turned un-funny when I had to go back to H Mart to grab another one but it was sold out so I had to bring her out for a proper dinner. Ouch. TLDR: Very filling amazing sampler for the price, perfect for busy or decision-handicapped foodie like me who can't decide to eat chicken or beef.

    This is one of the 5 restaurants at the food court inside the H Mart Asian supermarket. It's the only one detached from the rest at the far end next to the restrooms. The way you go about ordering your food is a bit unusual. You would look around at each restaurant for the menu as well as mock samples and decide what you want. Then you have to go to a centralized ordering station, which is the second station from the back, to make your order and pay for your food. The number on your receipt would be announced via the loud speaker when your food is ready. But there's a twist - you have to pick up your food at the respective restaurant. If you order from multiple restaurants, you'd have no idea which one is ready when you hear your number announced. This could be confusing and frazzling, especially if you've never been here before, and/or you have a big party and your orders are all over the place! We've tried Sogongdong twice so far. The soft tofu stew (soondubu) is very standard, using the standard soondubu serving vessels and ingredients. They come piping hot and with a raw egg and 2 banchan sides. I've always had the seafood variety and I would recommend you the same. Unless you can't take seafood, there's simply no comparison how much more tasty the seafood broth is. I've tried the beef/seafood combo but I would not recommend it. The beef is almost always tough. Price is a bit cheaper than other soondubu joints, but you only get 2 banchan sides compared to 6-8. On the most recent visit, the sides were kimchi and pickled cucumbers. Tip: don't feel abashed to ask for banchan refill. They won't cringe. Also, make sure you crack the egg into the broth while it's still piping hot. I think this is my favorite among the restaurants at this H Mart food court. Give it a try when you're in town.

    Had my fav bimbimbap veggie version to go. Tasty with side of soup and kimchee. Soup had beef but you figure it would. Ok value. Not sure it there was much or any sesame oil. Weird setup to order and pay where you do it at a separate cashier. Fairly fast service. Took to go for road trip. Ok value.

    This restaurant is located in the Hmart food court. This was my first time eating pork tangsu so I…read moredon't have any comparison, but I liked the flavor and quantity at this restaurant. The pork was fried well and the breading wasn't overwhelming or too much. You can either eat the fried pork by itself, dip it in the sweet and sour sauce, or pour the sauce all over the fried pork. I liked to dip the pork in the sauce so the pork stays crispy. I was surprised that the onion and bell pepper were raw in the sauce. I would have enjoyed it more if they were cooked. There were also carrots and pineapple in the sauce.

    About a 2-2.5: Delicious Chinese Restaurant - I really wanted to like you!…read more This vendor is one of the food court finds you'll find at H Mart - note that you have to go to another kiosk to place orders for any of the vendors that you'd like to order from; I guess it's a way to allow the eateries to focus on preparing the food, rather than lose the extra employee in dealing with the register. Masheeneun Joonggook Jip, aka 'Delicious Chinese Restaurant' offers your typical Korean-Chinese fare, such as jajangmyun, jjambbong, tang soo yook, ggangpoongi, etc. We came here for lunch, and we ordered: +jajangmyun - wasn't a fan of the black bean sauce, as there seemed to hardly be any flavor - it was super bland; also, the noodles were overcooked and were 'swollen' +hae mool jjambbong - the seafood jjambong's broth had a spicy kick to it; unfortunately, the broth was super thin, and while there were ample amount of mussels, the squid had a fishy smell to them and were not fresh; there were tons of noodles, however, but just like the jajangmyun, they was overcooked +soon sahl dak gganpoongi - these came boneless; this was actually not a bad dish, as the sauce wasn't too syrupy sweet as most Korean-Chinese places make them; they had a slight kick to them, had tons of veggies (bell peppers, peas, onions), and tons of sauce, which would be great eating with a bowl of rice I was a little surprised that the only banchan they gave you with the meal was the dakgwang (pickled yellow radish), but no kimchi or ggakdoogi (fermented radish cubes); I also thought that a bowl of rice would have been served with the entrees, like the gganpoongi. There was about a 40-minute wait (which we were quoted), as there were a lot of patrons ordering from this place - a recommendation would be to get there earlier before the lunch rush. This seems to be run by a husband-and-wife team, and they were really slinging everything; super kind. This may be a good option for those living in the Frederick area, but definitely not worth the trek for us. Glad we were able to try it, but we wouldn't return. Plenty of parking in the lot. +stick with the gganpoongi +overcooked noodles +order near the Sogongdong Tofu place for any eatery items +located inside H Mart +plenty of parking in lot

    We wanted to grab a quick lunch before taking the Greenbelt Metro into DC. It was a weekday around…read moremidday, and there were a few customers but no wait. We had two kids with us, so we couldn't order anything too spicy. The japchae and mandu were tasty, but the lollipop wings deserved a stage of their own. Boy, were they delicious! Perfectly sweet and savory, with a crunchy batter that somehow stayed crisp despite the sauce. I honestly wish I could have eaten more. The portions are generous, parking is sufficient, and the staff were attentive. We'll definitely be back to try their hand-pulled noodles!

    I stopped by after doing some research and was so disappointed as I love foood!…read more The restaurant is a little tucked away but the inside is cute! We were told to find a table on the other side of the restaurant (like self seating...see picture) but then asked to move. We were in a section with no one, which isnt an issue if the service is consistent (it wasnt and busy, we were their 3rd table) They checked on us once but I had to flag them down to order or ask questions. We ordered the Crystal noodles with shredded beef & vegetables (41) And the Fried rice with vegetable (10). The fried rice comes with the bean sauce which i didn't know (not listed on the menu I had) and contains pork. When i attempted to get a new version, it took 3 staff members asking why. The, what I assume to be the manager, said she would take it off the bill after I said I DONT EAT PORK... I also canceled my to go order before they cooked it but somehow that was never relayed to the kitchen and they brought it out ...I left hungry lol.

    My goto place for Korean food especially if you are in the Rockville area. It is a hole in a wall…read morewith ads of Korean Soju posted all over their walls. This place is on the other side of the Twinbrook metro. Definitely, old korean cooking with banchan and etc. Expect the service to be real slow since theres only one server but theyre really nice as they apologize for tending so slow. Be kind to them or dont dine if you have to be out at a certain time.

    This one feels most authentic…read more.. Before I say anything else yes, parking is limited. Why? Because it's in an area dominated by industrial businesses. Not a retail space. Boo-hoo, look around and you'll find a spot unless you're driving a yacht. Now, to the setting and the food...the setting is the way I like it. Rustic, clean, unassuming, not fancied up. Wooden privacy screens are set in between tables. (Perhaps because of Covid? Not sure.) This to me was really comfortable, didn't feel like I was stuck in a cattle car. I'm sure there's Korean BBQ here but we weren't at such a table. In fact it looked like grills had been removed from some tables and replaced with wooden covers. So nice to have that extra space because... Ordered bibimbap, bulgogi, steamed dumplings, etc. The extra side dishes I enjoy (kimchi, sprouts, etc.) were there as well. Ice tea, yadda yadda. Korean music was playing but it wasn't loud, on another screen by the kitchen I could see Family Guy. Again, not loud or intrusive. Didn't feel like they skimped on portions, there was plenty. Almost too much, wasn't sure I'd manage to finish the bulgogi but I did...mmm. Overall, this place is a nice break from other places. If you want to take someone out and just enjoy yourselves, this would be it. Perhaps a bit different when full, but still. Btw, it's been 13 years since I first went here. This week was only the second time. I totally forgot where it was or whether it was still around. So glad it is.
