    Seafood pancake
    Lee Z.

    The service was ok. The ambiance is very casual, which is set in a supermarket (Lottie) with 2 other restaurants. The sushi section belongs to the owners of Aery. The Korean dishes were average. The seafood pancake was good with a crisp batter. The Japanese chae was not bad, but not the best. The spicy pork had a different taste than most other Korean places. This was my least favorite. I will the other dishes the next time and give the other Korean place, The Palace, next to them a try. It has different types of Korean dishes. The small food court gets busy during lunch. Many of their patrons are Koreans.

    No frills, quick service restaurant. We always get the soy garlic wings and grab a dish or two to share. Usually it's a 15-20 min wait so we just roam around the market.

    I love the sushi they have there, its fresh and its soft and delicious, their miso soup is also nice and warms the soul , their service there is a 10/10 their always welcoming and they answer the phone quickly lol.

    Beef kimchi fried rice
    Fabian M.

    Was hungry for Korean near me and came here. Prices in grocery store Korean is the same as restaurants now. Gone are the days when they were cheaper alternatives. My wife got the jajang mien and I got the beef Kim chi fried rice. The jajang mien was very plain n kinda lacked flavor compared to other places. Definitely not restaurant level. Portion was good. But felt more like an instant pack then it did made to order. Kimchi fried rice was decent but also not the best compared to other places. I still feel like VA Korean food is still superior to what we can find in MOCO. Service was friendly and the place was clean - on par with other places. Hours are early to close. So check ahead.

    Have eaten here a few times and every single time, the prices have increased! For instance, a year ago, the Bulgogi Beef was $17.50. But now it is $19.99! Same with the other food items, they have all increased by $2-$3, each! Food portions have stayed pretty much the same, though. I can say that the service is quick. The sitting area is so-so, with only 3 tables available in the small store. Cold and Hot water are accessible for drinking. Today (5/29/23) was a good dine-in experience for Memorial Day after doing some grocery shopping inside Lotte. Maybe next time, try some other food items if there's an opportunity to eat at this food court again. Wish they had other Korean food entrees available, like Bibimbap, Mandu Guk, or Galbi BBQ.

    Sweet & Sour Pork
    Cynthia L.

    It's def not easy to find a good Korean place in the G-burg area, so when I was hankering for some and needed it quickly while in the area, I def couldn't resist a stop: Seafood Pancake - Had a decent amount of seafood and scallions, but could've been cooked a tad longer because it was soggy and fell apart with every piece we tried to pick up. Ja Jiang Mian - Sauce was bone cold, so it didn't seem like they cooked it right away, but rather had it pre-prepped. Overall good taste and decent amount of onions, potato, zucchini and meat in the sauce (noodles were Al dente...heyy). Pork Tang Soo Yuk- I'm not sure what I missed but they completely forgot the sweet and sour sauce, I just got fried pork with some julienned carrots & zucchini. Galbi - at $32, I was at least expecting a quality marinade and decent portions, but this was about 3-4 slices cut up into about 12 pieces to make it look like a lot. The marinade was barely there, which made us quite a bit disappointing. There was a s-ton of MSG (I get migraines from excessive MSG) and I was sure spinning after this meal. Some items seem worth it here, but most def felt overpriced for the quantity and quality we received (if we're comparing to other restaurants of this kind and style in the DMV, I'm sorry). If you're strapped for time and craving Korean, then I might go here but stick to their soups/stews and eat there, don't carryout.

    The food here is excellent. It takes 15-25 for an order. You can shop while you wait since it's located inside Lotte Mart which is a Korean grocery store. The menu is varied. Everything I've tried has been excellent and the portions are excellent. A lot of people come here just for the food when they're not even food shopping. That's how popular it is. Unlike other food stalls located inside Korean grocery stores, a lot of non-Koreans come here. The servers speak perfect English and are friendly and I think that helps non-Koreans feel more comfortable ordering food from here. The ambiance is inside-a-grocery-store ambiance.

    I needed a sushi platter at the last minute, so I tried sushi from this place for the first time. I wasn't sure about their food, but they had good reviews and reasonable prices. I don't quite remember which platter I ordered, but I was very satisfied! First, they had my platter ready in an hour and thirty minutes, and the fish seemed so fresh! The fish-to-rice ratio was perfect, and the rice was well-seasoned. I've ordered sushi platters from different nearby restaurants, but despite this being from a small restaurant in a grocery store, I loved their sushi the most! I would definitely order from this place again. Highly recommend!

    Homemade mandu
    Fred K.

    Avery is a great place to cater your next Korean food party. We hosted a dinner party of 12 and everyone just enjoyed their meal. From the tender and flavorful galbijhim, enormous amounts of chop chae, excellent homemade mandu (you have to ask Nicole for home made ones), to great pork tang so yeok (sweet and sour pork) to hae mul paejun and kimchi it was just fantastic. It was homemade like your mom or halmoni would make. Next time though I will have to add a sushi platter. It would have been the icing to a wonderful meal. For anyone looking to get Korean food catering in MoCo, this is the place to order! I've also done take out and only negative would be I wish the dining space when dining in, was a bit more inviting.

    Spicy Cabbage Short Rib Stew
    Amy S.

    This little gem is located in the Lotte Plaza Market. Turn right after walking in- very easy to find. There are plenty of parking. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. I ordered the Spicy Cabbage Short Rib stew. It was delicious but not very spicy. It came with a side of rice 3 Korean sides. I think the sides varies but this time they are kimchi, spicy pickled radish, spicy asparagus. Everything was delicious. You can also place sushi for Ichiban-Mikoshi Sushi at the samw location. I ordered the veggie combo which came with 3 rolls- all were on par. Definitely would like to return to try more items. UPDATE: I went back and ordered a few items. Just like the first time, everything was delicious. Tip: ask for extra dipping sauce for the Seafood CHIVE Pancake.

    Soy garlic wings
    Joyce Y.

    Going to preface this review by saying I'm giving Aery a 4 which is an average of the ratings I would give it for the 2 separate occasions I went for. The first time was as part of a Yelp Elite event (thanks Mike B.!!) and I got the 5 piece soy garlic wings. SO CRISPY. Check out my first 2 photos. I got them for takeout and these wings were STILL crispy when I got home. And they were so juicy inside, I was really impressed. Way better than bonchon, I said. The second time, I brought David with me. We got a whole spread - dumplings, jaja jang myeon, seafood pancake, tenders this time (soy garlic and spicy). It was a LOT of food yes :). Not as great of an experience this time, I thought. Granted, I think a lot of this could have been due to the fact we got it as takeout, but surely after my first experience with Aery I didn't think it would be a huge issue. Jja jang myeon: I had high hopes for these noodles. I wasn't a big fan of the sauce - the jajang mian I'm used to typically is black bean based, when I opened their sauce, I was disappointed that it was clumpy, oily, and the flavor didn't taste like black bean at all. It tasted a little sweet, and the texture was off. When mixed with the noodles, I thought it tasted bland, even though my noodles were drenched in the sauce. I also had a lot more sauce than I needed. Seafood pancake: Yes it was soggy, but I got it for takeout so I knew what to expect - but it was also bland. The sauce that it came with helped a little to dip it in in terms of flavor. But the shrimp and octopus wasn't seasoned. Although, the portion it came in was HUGE. Dumplings: Decent, standard dumplings. The tenders: They just weren't as crispy this time. I wondered if it was because they were tenders and not wings. They were a lot bigger than the wings, but flavor wise just not as satisfying as the wings I had. The spicy wasn't spicy, it was actually kind of sweet. Overall, would definitely recommend the wings over tenders. P.S. we were definitely eyeing their sushi while waiting for our food, might try that next time!

    Sides

    This restaurant is located in Lotte Plaza at Festival at Muddy Branch Shopping Center. Serving a variety of Korean food (KBBQ, soups, KFC, rice, and sides), Aery is the sister restaurant of Ichiban in Gaithersburg (near Costco). Located immediately to the right of Lotte when you walk in the doors, there are a few tables for those who wish to dine in. When I came to pick up my KFC and tofu soup, I saw another food stall nearby with sushi being sold. Everything looks so fresh! I'm looking forward to checking out Aery Sushi soon. So far at Aery, I tried the whole fried chicken with spicy sauce and the seafood tofu soup. I thought the fried chicken was pretty good. Would have liked it to be crispier and spicier, though. Maybe if I got the sauce on the side, it would have be crispy. Definitely a lot of chicken! The tofu soup was also good and came with a decent amount of seafood and vegetables. I do wish we could add a spicy level to the soup. I guess I could have asked! The two side dishes also came with a side of radishes (which I enjoyed) and kimchi (surprisingly wasn't a fan as it had an aftertaste to me). If you decide to order your food online and pick up, I suggest ordering directly through the restaurant's website. I noticed quite an increase in price when you order through Yelp (via GrubHub) rather than through Aery (whole fried chicken $25 vs $20, and tofu soup $13 vs. $9.95).

    From their opening till now, their customer service has been great and food very yummy. We've tried several dishes on their menu. Mackerel set, soon dae, jjam ppong, jja jang myun, fried chicken, sushi, jok bal. I love their jjam ppong b/c it's SPICY! You can choose less spicy, if that's your preference. The soondae is very delicious. I think it's as yummy as Seoul Soondae and I don't have to drive to Virginia to get it. We often order sushi platters for parties and it's always so fresh and delicious. The gentleman working on the sushi side is very friendly, which is a plus. I appreciate their great customer service!
