Customer Reviews
Food was absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed the different banchans. Of note, the kimchi is complimentary but you can pay $15 for thee additional. We ended up getting the radish, fish cakes and pickled cucumber. All were great. The best thing was probably the ssam platter. Very tender and flavorful steak. The kimchi jigae was okay, good flavor but the chunks of meat were too large and tough for us.
Great place! We went for brunch and it was just as delicious as it looked on their website. Portions were a great size for the price and the food quality was worth it all. I want to go back for dinner and honestly, go back for brunch to try the items that I didn't get to! My son got the lychee lemonade and it was delicious. Highly recommend the Steak and eggs + the Shrimp porridge (blanking on the dish name). The inside of the restaurant was just as cute.
I went to Anju and got the Sam board, which honestly felt like the safest (and smartest) choice. It’s great for sharing and gives you a good sense of what the kitchen does best. The appetizers were amazing too. A bit pricey for Korean food, but its well within the norm considering the type of menu they have and how the DC food scene is.
The interiors of Anju are very warm and inviting. The staff is very friendly and the food came out fairly quickly. The actual dishes were average in terms of flavor. The dumplings were not very flavorful and didn’t taste very Korean. The fried broccolini also felt out of place — it lacked flavor and didn’t really fit the rest of the menu in my opinion. The tofu bibimbap also tasted under seasoned but it was not bad. The kimchi Jiggae was the best dish out of the ones we ordered - it had tender pieces of pork and tofu, but it could have been a little richer and spicier. I would also argue that free kimchi or banchan at a Korean restaurant is a must. I will applaud this place for its large portion sizes. Overall, I think this place gives you a lot of food for its price but I don’t think I wo
My partner and I came here for brunch and absolutely loved it. We ordered the chicken and waffles, steak and eggs, and tater tots, and everything was delicious. The chicken and waffles were our favorite. The portions were generous, the food was perfectly cooked, and the cocktails were just as impressive. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent. Our waiter gave great recommendations and made us feel right at home. Overall, it was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend this spot for a relaxed and satisfying brunch.
