This is an overwhelming menu if you are into Korean food. However, some classics like tteobeoki are missing. But there is a lot to like here like mandu, bibimbap, and all the kbbq standards that you would expect. There is also a pretty decent sushi selection. Rolls, nigiri, and sashimi and all of it is tasty but not exceptional. The lunch box deals seem to be the best value, $10-14 for a sizeable portion of BBQ meat plus a little salad soup sushi and Korean side dishes. They don't serve these on holidays or weekend. Sushi here is tasty and the bbq is really good as well. I found the japchae to be kind of bland and the banchan were a little boring. But this is a solid offering and is basically always open so give it a try! read more

The food was so good, but the service was okay. They weren't very friendly:( they also only have bottled water and charge for water.

I absolutely LOVED this place! I loved the traditional outfits the women servers wear. As for the meal... well... I want to return again and again and explore their huge menu. We had a bibimbap that was very tasty. Also tried a Beef Bulgogi BBQ that had amazing flavor... but the seafood BBQ was the star of the table. SO flavorful I couldn't stop eating. There are so many complimentary sides there is no way you could leave not totally stuffed. The best part? I didn't go home with the grill smoke in my hair and clothes. Also very reasonably priced. Thank you Yechon for a lovely dinner. We will be back! read more

Yechon - I shoulda took before and after photos because we destroyed this! YUM! - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

I'm still eating left overs lol!! Not much more I can add than what's been said by sooo many. Food is great, portions are huge and the cost is very reasonable. I would suggest not coming during peak hours if you are in a hurry as the wait for the food can be long. We went on a Wed night around 7pm and the place was CROWDED! Luckily for us as soon as we walked in we were immediately seated in a small table by the window! The people after us had a little wait a LONG time to be seated. No wait at all to be seated but we did have to wait about 8 min for the waitress to acknowledge us and then another 5 or more min for our drinks to arrive. We weren't in a hurry so I didn't mind and we weren't the only people who were waiting for service. We ordered the Yechon Special #3 and extra meat, everything was great and there was actually too much food!! The service was rushed during the cooking process as the waitresses go from table to table making the food. She was very friendly and kept apologzing. Being that I have eaten at several establishments such as this I understand (not saying I like it) how it works. So we just kept cooking our meal ouurself. This is the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars. The quality of the food is great,the price is reasonable ( total meal for 2 was $100 plus tip) and eventhough service is slow everyone was very friendly. I didn't feel rushed while eating as I have felt at other croweded eateries like this. I would recommend this place but only come when you have a few hours to spare and not in a hurry. read more

Yechon is a nice small restaurant that transports you to Korea with the wooden decor and wait staff dressed in Korean attire. We were able to get a table easily as we went a little earlier than the dinner rush on a weekend. The menu is old and beaten up and needs a face lift. They even spelled Japanese wrong on the menu. We initially wanted to order Dak Gui (chicken marinated in special spicy sauce) and Samgyeopsai (thinly sliced pork belly). Unfortunately, we were told Dak Gui was cooked in the kitchen and not at the table and so did not satisfy the minimum of two orders to be cooked at the table side. Plan B - we ordered the Samgyeopsai and Chadolbaegi (thin slices of brisket beef). The banchan arrived quickly. It included miso soup, kimchi, salad, various pickled vegetables, and one of my favorites was the unique sweet mashed potato. It was delicious and filling. However, as we continued to eat the salad we discovered a sliced red pepper with the sticker still attached. Gross. They do not pay attention to how their meals are cooked and prepared. Our waitress began barbecuing our dishes. Without the sauces the meat was bland. We got a bean type sauce and the sesame oil & black pepper dip that we used to accompany the meat. I wished there was an option to have the meat in spicy sauce versus the sesame oil dip. A couple times our meat was cooking and left unattended, until one waitress noticed and finally took it off the grill, a bit overcooked and crispy. As much as I wanted to love Yechon. The Korean BBQ just did not entice. I have had better at Honey Pig. With the red pepper sticker found in our salad, limited table side Korean BBQ choices, and mediocre service. It was a hit and miss. read more

This place is absolutely legendary. I've gone here for years. The food is exceptionally good. The service is extremely efficient. The waitresses are old school and don't have time to be polite. If you're weak and pathetic, and need someone to cater to your every whim, Don't come here. Don't ask to take home side dishes or you'll get hazed. I love this place and I'll continue enjoying it until my body explodes to pieces. Thank you. read more

This is our favorite Korean restaurant. Food is really good, fast service and great atmosphere. They're open 24hrs 7 days a week. They have they best mandu and bibimbap. They give you a lot of appetizers to start with while waiting for your main course! Best Korean restaurant in NOVA! read more

I lived in Korea for 5 years and the food, atmosphere and customary gowns the servers wear are 100% authentic! The food is OUTSTANDING and the BEST I have ever had in the United States! The price is reasonable considering the high caliber quality, freshness and volume they give you. Be prepared for a busy environment because it IS THAT popular and a favorite to Korean diners and attracts all ethnicities! And the staff are super hardworking and friendly to everyone! Sometimes, the wait is a little long but totally worth it! You MUST try this restaurant!!! read more

Yechon - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Haven't come back here in awhile because of their terrible service. Only came before because they are open late and I hadn't discovered all the other great Korean restaurants of Annandale. Their food is mediocre. Service is horrible. This has been the ONLY restaurant I have been to in my entire life where the server TOLD US WE HAD TO LEAVE. We did nothing wrong. We ate, asked for the check, paid our check, and we were talking about where to get dessert as our server comes over, collects our checks and tells us we have to go because they are on a wait. We hadn't even been sitting for longer than a minute from when she gave us our check back. LIKE SERIOUSLY? Who does that?!? Not to mention they were cleaning our table as we are STILL SITTING THERE! So blown. Learn how to be respectful to your customers!!!!!!!! For that reason alone, I would never return here. read more

I can only speak to the dish I ordered, which was the monkfish (menu item number 2 on the side dishes page). The fish was extremely rubber-like, not fresh at all. The dish itself was also relatively bland. Portions were huge though, you could probably feed 3-4 people. The accompanying small dishes on the side were good though. Atmosphere and service were good. read more

Authentic, so much flavor, and open 24 hours a day? How can you really beat this place?? Not much parking, but we went late enough that we could just park across the street at a business that was closed. Bonus points if you go next door to get a Korean dessert! read more

Yechon - No.2 under the group plates for the table. It says it's for 2, but plenty for 3. Also comes with two bottles of beer! - Korean Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

This is the only Korean restaurant besides tosokchon, that's open 24/7...which means this joint morphs into a hangover center past midnight. Rightfully so! Their hangover soup is absolutely the best. Other soups in the menu are good too like soybean soup or beef bone broth soup. I'm not personally a huge fan of anything grilled like bulgogi. Unless it's bibimbap! This place is always poppin no matter what time of the day I decide to go. So yes, service might not quite be there thought quality of food might. Hey, if you and your company hunger for munchies after sleepless night of bar-hopping, do yourself a favor and lead your people to here for some hangover dankers. I promise you--your friends will love you for this read more

My friends and I have grown to loves the Korean BBQ and have been trying many different K restaurant around the Annandale area in VA for years. As far as I can remember this restaurant have been here for years going back as far as in the 80s and may even be much longer before I relocated to this area. There are many choice when it come to Korean restaurant but this is come at the top of my list as the first and only choice. The place is open 24 hours and there is always a line and a good 30 mins wait during dinner in Fri and Sat. The price is very reasonable, the foods are in a good portion. I love their many condiments come in many varieties. Dont worry if you need more because they are always happy to bring more without telling you they will charge extra for more like some other restaurant i have been to. If you like spicy food, go for the yukgaejang is a shred beef soup and broth base. If you have a large group of six or more, go with the yechon special #3 that can serve up to 4 or 6 which include , beefs, chicken, pork, shrimp and a whole lobsters. If you are more on the food adventure side, go for the Heumetgul (cant get the exact spelling) which is a thin slide beef tongue that cook at you table and dip with sea salt oil, this taste just like beef and much leaner in my opinion. Their fish disks are also good choice if you like fish. I usually come here for dinner but their lunch menu and price is also not bad. Ok so let talk about service: some reviewer had wrote they got bad services but i have to beg for you differ here. Understand many of the servers does not speak perfect English but they are friendly, tentative and know their foods. If you are walking into the restaurant expecting them to make suggestion or recommendation than you are a newbies to K foods and you may find your self lost so i would s suggest check out their online menu rather than asking these servers to tell you. My friend and i love this place, their foods and also had grown to know many of the wonderful ladies that work here and they also remember our usual orders. I would recommend you try it and decide for your self if this can make your food list read more

I've been here to eat more times than I can count. The food here is always delicious and the service is good. Never had a problem at this place! Having tried numerous Korean restaurants throughout NY/NJ/PA/MD/VA, Yechon has some of the best tasting food in my book. My family and I usually get KBBQ and appetizers/side dishes, so don't have any other experience with other food (japanese/sushi) offered on the extensive menu. read more

There's a reason why the line up is always long at this place. The food is great, the service is fast and it's affordable. For less than $60, we had 2 beers, plenty of side dishes, 2 pieces of grilled mackerel, sashimi, bulgogi, squid and broth. All delicious! I didn't give it a 5 because it felt like we were being rushed to order and to pay, but I'm guessing it's because of the quick turn around time that they have due to the line up. I also asked if they could substitute the bulgogi with kalbi but they couldn't do that either. Overall, I liked the food and I would go again. read more

I will go here anytime because their bbq is delicious and their service is fast so if I'm hungry I'm not waiting for long. I have had sushi, bbq (bulgogi) , BeeBimBop and rice porridge. All have been delectable and I have left satisfied. This gem is always worth the visit. Just writing about it is getting me hungry! read more

The food is not that good, but the service is horrible. No one cared to ask what we need. We need to hardly look for them when we need anything. When they brought the side dishes to the table, I felt like they threw them in the table. Never want to come back! read more

Wow. I was VERY happy with my experience here, and let me tell you why. 1. The menu has a HUUUUGE variety of Korean food. I was really craving soondooboo jjigae so I knew I wanted that, but I was so impressed by their assortment of dishes, from soups and stews to barbeque to Korean pancakes and more. They also have a wide range of banchan. 2. The SERVICE is MARVELOUS. I like that they are dressed in traditional Korean clothes, which makes me feel like I'm back home (even though the waitresses in Korea don't really wear hanboks in restaurants...). But more importantly, despite the chaos of the restaurant during dinner time, they would come to our table from time to time, make sure we had enough banchan and water, and promptly refill anything that was lacking. In other restaurants I usually have to ask for these things, but they were completely on top of it. Also they are just very friendly in general. 3. My soon dooboo was delicious and just what I wanted. Clams, shrimp, tofu - yum. Although it was a little spicy. 4. You get oranges at the end of your meal! IS IT CHEAP? I would say the soups are moderately priced and the meat/bbq is pretty expensive, but not extraordinarily so. My friends ordered the chadohlbaegi and they seemed very happy with it. So I guess the short answer is no, but VERY WORTH IT! read more

I'm writing this review after eating there 3 times. The food tastes good consistently. However, they get only 3 stars for the following reasons: 1) Service is not too great. Friendly enough when you flag down someone. In all 3 visits, I couldn't get a refill on the water nor the side dishes unless I requested several times. 2) It seems busy and/or the waitresses are short staffed no matter what time we went. Lunch, Dinner, and weekend. Due to this reason, I highly recommend going there on weekdays & not right at lunch/dinner time. It's a 24 hour place. Only few items are available during mornings. 3) At our last visit, fermented soy stew, Dwenjang Chigae, never came until the rest of us finished eating. One person never got to eat her lunch. We all just gave her a little bit of our food; Perhaps out of urgency to make the soup before we left, the stew arrived finally, missing Tofu. The waitress was willing to take it back to put some Tofu. But we were about to leave the restaurant. We were fully charged regardless of whether the soup was eaten or not. I don't want to talk you out of trying out this restaurant. Lunch menu price is reasonable. Taste is consistent, as I had already mentioned. I like the lovely Hanbok, traditional Korean dresses, the ladies wear. (Not in the morning.) Just be assertive when needing side dishes or water refilled. If not, you'll receive poor service & never want to return. And I hope everyone in your group gets to eat. read more

What's not to love about a 24 hour Korean spot with parking! Food quality is always good. Service is consistent. It may not be necessarily friendly, but they get the job done. I get my usual soft tofu soup and the usual Korean BBQ, galbi, bulgogi, and now their brisket, yum! Prices are comparable to the area... they do well with large groups and have been accommodating with my food allergies. I for one... do not like to cook my own food, yay for me! I like having that option. read more

After a very meh food experience a few years back that warranted maybe 3 stars, I came back again due to some friends' enthusiastic recommendation. Don't bother guys-- if you're here during a busy hour and customers are dispensable, the host will order you around like herd of cows in this overhyped restaurant, just short of saying "move out of the way." This would not have been the case if we were Korean or white. Not coming here ever again. read more

It was good. I went with a Korean/American male friend. He speaks Korean and ordered everything since the waitress who served us only spoke in Korean at our table. I'm pretty sure she may speak some English but I wouldn't know since she never looked my way‍. The food was decent, waitress spilled some of the marinade on my dress, but it washed out in the laundry. read more

Excellent side dishes of kinchee, assorted veggies, egg casserole. Some of the dishes are on the sweet side but delicious nonetheless. There are ample options for well-known and not so well-known dishes for novice Korean foodie to seasoned and adventuresome ones. I see many westerners eating here, as many options are well known such as Kalbi, bulgogi, bibimbop, etc. There are others that are not as well-known, such as cod fish egg soup, as described on the menu. Well, it's a close description. Try it and see if you like it. I did. Then I asked the server what it was. She said, "You ordered it". "It's good for you!" Well, I'm not sure if it's good for me as some may claim, but it was a unique taste, texture and an unforgettable experience. I'll leave my description somewhat vague for you to also give this mysterious dish a try! read more

I love how this is place is open 24/7. You can literally come in the middle of the night if you're hungry and scouting for food. They have a variety of options to choose from, from soups, to sushi, Korean dishes, Japanese dishes, bentos, stews, and more. The service here is usually pretty quick, nice staff, and the quality is pretty good. read more

This is my father-in-laws favorite place to eat when my in-laws are in town, and quite frankly the best Korean/Asian food we've had so far. This place is always busy even during the non-peak hours. And because it is busy, sometimes things get lost in translation and the waitress forgets or doesn't hear any additional requests. Last time we had to remind our waitress to bring out two more miso soups several times and it didn't come until we were all nearly done with our meals. This might be a small hiccup but other than that service and food has always been great. For newbies: try coming during a non-peak hour time to enjoy what the restaurant has to offer. The restaurant is a little cramped but once you've had the food you wouldn't care how tight the atmosphere is. Faves: Bulgogi, anything from the sushi bar, Galbi, And the scallion egg pancake thing I can't remember the name for read more

This place is 24 hours and they have a huge menu. Granted they aren't an AYCE KBBQ place, there's still so much to like here. Everyone I've taken here has not been disappointed. It's not like super fancy nor hole-in-the-wall type. I can't believe how busy it gets here but hey, people know what's good. Errr actually I haven't tried their Japanese food options but I will one day since I go here so often and if my feelings change about them then I'll update my review. But that might not happen because they are open 24 hours, they are right next to Breeze which I love, they are more traditional and the waitresses are very quick and polite, and the bibimbap is always a good go to if I'm not feeling to try something new. read more

Best korean in town! Everything is fresh and delicious! From the dumplings to stews to korean BBQ - it's always perfect!

The food is great! There is a large variety of complementary side dishes which all taste amazing. The service was also very good!

I was flabbergasted when they tried to charge me a $1.00 for water. My wife and I had dinner, they served a costco bottle water. We ordered 3 entrées with a bottle of wine. Asked for more water, cause there food is salty. .... This lady said we have to charge you for water, after your free water (which water is free in all restaurants) ... Bring your own water...? read more

Our go to Korean. We always get the galbi and the bulgogi. The side dishes are fresh and delicious. The food comes out fast. Don't expect the kindest of hosts, but they are efficient. It's always crowded, but never had to wait too long for a table. Open 24 hours and it's a must try. read more

This is my go-to Korean Food spot. The Bibimbap is always on point. Seafood Pancake and Bulgogi are the next best thing. They are 24/7 and the staff is pretty responsive. The only downsides: Cokes are in cans (i.e. No refill) and if it is busy: prepare to eat and leave; they will kick you to the curb for lallygagging. read more

One of my favorite all-around Korean restaurant faves. Great service, good banchan, great food at reasonable prices, and 24/7 hours. If you're looking to please a group of friends with different taste and food preferences this is the place to go for Korean. They offer Korean BBQ, sushi, staple Korean dishes like bibimbap, soon dooboo jigae, and kalbi tang. I've been going here for years and this is still going strong. It's always packed in here and for good reason! Only vice is you can't make reservations here so it's first come first serve. Usually on the weekend during lunch and dinner there will be a wait. read more

I raised it from a one star to a two star solely because the food was alright this time around. My girlfriend and I went for lunch and service as usual wasn't the best. But the pricing of the lunch specials seemed to be decent so we stopped by. We were greeted by a lady that seemed to lack a sense of work enthusiasm that reluctantly seated us. The food itself tasted okay for the amount of money we paid. Would I still make this a regular place to eat? No. There are many other places with authentic Korean food that tastes much better than this place. read more
