I love a good customizable bowl, and this place does it right! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned--I ate my whole bowl, no crumbs left. It's become one of my go-to spots for a filling, satisfying meal at Union Market. Highly recommend if you're in the area and want something tasty and customizable.

It's super hard deciding what to eat at union market and my group decided on this trip we wanted to get TaKorean because there was a decent crowd of people waiting in line for their food! I was honestly impressed by the quality of their food and also their fast and friendly service. For about $13-$15 a bowl, you get a very generous portion. There was so much in our bowls that we couldn't finish in one sitting. My group all mentioned how we all got a heeping scoop of protein in our bowls. Very flavorful and happy we chose to stop by.

Stopped by Takorean after work. I ordered ahead so the food was ready when I arrived. It's a take out only spot but there is seating located throughout the facility (it's in a food hall). The bowl was really good. All the toppings were fresh and full of flavor. There's plenty of options for those who eat meat, and those who are vegan. There's even plenty of gluten free options. Overall I'll give takorean a 8.5/10.

A great place to get a quick meal in Union Market! The bulgogi is amazing and they have a ton of toppings to choose from. Everything tastes fresh and is absolutely delicious.

Bulgogi 3 Tacos

Okay Fusion! This reminds me of my hometown in California because we love Kale, and we also tend to have a taste to bring tortillas to Korean Bbq, it makes sense for this combination to exist!

I absolutely enjoyed my tacos. They were seasoned well and tasted really good. The service was friendly and quick. I know that it gets quite busy at this location but they do a good job of getting the food out quickly. I would definitely go back when I'm in the area again.

Bulgogi taco with kimchi slaw

Went here to eat a quick dinner and was surprised to find they do Taco Tuesday ! You get 3 tacos for almost $9 (which is not exactly much savings with $11 something after tax lol) HOWEVER, the tacos were absolutely delicious. It really is like a Korean Chipotle and the people there were really nice. I ordered two bulgogi tacos and one chicken taco. The meat was so flavorful and tender. I picked the kimchi slaw on the bulgogi and the kale on the chicken and I also asked to have everything topped with cilantro, fried shallots, a sauce I can't remember the name of and lime crema. SO GOOD. Maybe I'll come back and try their bowl!! :-)

My go to restaurant whenever I'm at union market. It's not traditional Korean food but it still tastes great. I especially love the cucumbers. The people working there are always nice and give big portions. It gets really busy and loud on weekends so be prepared to wait.

Decided to visit Union market and decided to stop here. I remember the first store that opened on U St. roughly six years ago. They have changed a decent amount since then. But the food is still decent. My bowl consisted of rice and slaw with some steak and a couple toppings. Steak was a bit dry. But nothing wild to complain about. I miss their other topping selections but I enjoyed it.

Chicken Avocado Bowl ($14)
Calder S.

I remember when TaKorean was just a food truck in DC! It's been years since I visited but I was looking for a quick, easy meal in Union Market and they fit the bill. I got the Chicken Avocado Bowl ($14) with chicken, brown rice, romaine slaw, guacamole, salsa roja, pico de gallo, cilantro, and sesame seeds. It was pretty much exactly what you would expect for a bowl with those ingredients -- solid, but no surprises. The bowl tasted good and just like I remember, maybe due to the specific marinade they use on their chicken. There was no line at ~12:30 PM on a Monday; service was fast and friendly. I was decently full afterwards and didn't have any leftovers, whereas I usually have some leftovers from Chipotle bowls. I wasn't blown away but I would visit again, especially for their Taco Tuesday discount.

Chicken rice bowl with all toppings and add-ons for under $20

My absolute favorite place in Union Market! I generally order their white rice bowl with chicken and toppings (no extra cost). I like that their chicken is very tender and the level of stickiness for the rice is just on point. Toppings include salsa, gochu-pow sauce (a spicy sauce made from fermented Korean gochujang paste, if you don't eat spicy, exclude this from your toppings), lime crema (a sour cream based topping with lime juice, mirin, and agave), sesame seeds, cilantro, and shallots. I have also tried their add-ons before which include cucumber, piko de Gallo (tomatoes with ginger scallion sauce), pickled daiko radish, avocado, and poached egg. Service is quick and friendly. Despite long lines during lunch hours, I can typically get my food in under 10 minutes. On Tuesdays, you can get 3 tacos for a discount price (I think it's around $8-9 if I remember correctly) and they are equally delicious!

The description of Takorean - "Korean Taco Grill. A delicious combination of Korean flavors with a Mexican twist all made from scratch." I decided to come here on the week I'm going vegan (only temporarily because I love a good meat sweat). I felt like I needed a cleanse and was searching for restaurants in the Union Market with something yummy that would qualify. I walked up and down the isles before I made my choice here. I ordered three tofu tacos with: -Shredded kale with purple cabbage & carrots tossed with a soy sauce & gochugaru dressing -Avocado -Salsa Roja -Crunchy Shallots The tortillas had a crispy exterior, but still soft to the bite. All the flavors were well balanced and please get extra crunchy shallots, they really give the tacos an extra umph! The staff were all super friendly, knowledgeable and you can literally have your food ready and paid for in seconds. I'll be coming back for lunch again and again and AGAIN - TRY IT!! -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

Three tacos with pickled daikon & cucumber
Julia C.

Love this place! It's like a Korean chipotle! I got the three tacos so I could try a bit of each meat and slaw. My favorite by far was the bulgogi with romaine, all the toppings, and added pickled daikon and cucumber (which were clutch). Get the gochupow sauce and the lime crema. Next time I'll get a bulgogi bowl instead of tacos. The chicken bowl was good too!
