This is my third time here and I love it. Food is fresh and yummy. I always think I'll bring home leftovers but it's so tasty I just stuff myself and enjoy it. It's family-run and no nonsense service but they care about quality and flavor and you can taste it in every bite. Atmosphere is some wild combo of stylish and homey that is refreshingly authentic. Prices are not cheap but reflect the quirky of the ingredients and preparation. Five stars! read more

I really like this place. It's unusual to see a Korean eatery in a neighborhood like this but here it is Here's what we tried Japchae noodle was excellent Braised ribs were a bit on the salty side but good You order at the counter and then they bring you the food. It's a really small establishment. We came at around 6:00 and they really encouraging people to leave so they could close ahead of time. I would say it's a pretty tasty spot if you're in the neighborhood and want to try it out but I wouldn't come out of my way to eat here. read more

Bangbop serves up some modern Korean food in the Foxhall 'hood, such as LA Galbi rice bowl, pork belly bossam, etc. They also provide catering, too! We came here for an early lunch, and ordered: +the Fried Beef Dumplings - fried a little too hard; the soy dipping sauce could have been better, as it was a little watered down +the Bulgogi Kimbap - this was okay +Tteokbokki - not a fan of the flavors; it was just overly sweet, and the sauce was just too thin for us +the LA Galbi Rice Bowl - topped with grilled sweet-soy beef short ribs with a choice of 3 banchans; we opted for the kimchi, the spinach, and the pickled radish & carrots; the veggies were fresh, but this was more on the bland side +the Spicy Pork Belly Bowl - topped with grilled gochujang-marinated Berkshire pork belly, served with a side of kimchi, stir-fried eggplant, and spinach; the pork belly had good color on it, but like the other bowl, it was more on the bland side Staff were friendly, and there is both indoor and outdoor seating. The place is cutely-decorated with the paper flowers and lanterns. Ordering online was easy, and the items were ready at the time that was estimated. There are spots available on Lingan. +online ordering is seamless +friendly staff & service +indoor/outdoor seating available +parking available on Lingan read more

Bangbop is rocking the delivery, a prime reason to give them a try. Some days you just need to have a meal delivered to your door, so I'm so happy to have found them. You can avoid some fees by ordering delivery directly through their website. I put my order into uber eats, and it was at least $15 more than going directly through the website. Crazy. The food was quite tasty. I love that you can get kimchi either as a side or in a large 32 oz container. It lasted a few days and was so good. Top notch kimchi. We also had to get a beef bulgogi, and it was packed. Good stuff. Theirs has very nice lotus root in it, which I definitely appreciated. You don't see that often enough. The portion was generous, too, and good beef. We also tried the kimbap, which was one of the main reasons we ordered - we were craving it. They offer it in both tuna and beef. Both were tasty, but not the stars of the meal. The menu is quite large and has sandwiches ranging from classic banh mi to bulgogi cheesesteaks. They have korean pizzas, too, &pizza style. read more

This review is for their delivery service only, which can be found under Uber Eats as "Just Add Soju". I ordered Jap Chae with Bulgogi, and a side of kimchi. The jap chae and bulgogi was very good .... But OMG, the kimchi! That was some of the most flavorful kimchi I had in a while and my mouth is still watering thinking about it. Definitely recommend ordering from here if you're needing some quick and easy food delivery in Arlington or DC. read more

By the display of the Pride flag, I thought this would a warm and inviting space! Upon my entry the young lady behind the counter did not so much as say "Hello" "How may I help you" Welcome in" etc! I proceed to look over the menu as this was my first time visiting. The young lady began to sigh and turn her attention to her phone. She did not ask "is this your first time in" "do you have question about the menu" "was there something in particular you wanted" etc. I order the classic bowl. Once my order is ready, she places it on the counter and states "here you go" and walks off! No 'Thank you" "Have a nice day" "Come again"etc. I guess you cannot find good help or customer service these days! The Korean beef was a little dry as if it was premade and warmed up further drying it out. Otherwise, the food was flavorful. At almost $30 a bowl I would expect fresh or made to order ingredients. At any rate, based off the service alone I will not be returning. read more

Best Korean food in DMV area. All the side dishes are probably the best quality that I've seen by far. Not comparable to big batch made banchan from your typical Korean grocery joints. My wife and I enjoyed their Bossam, which was perfectly cooked. My kids enjoyed veggie and bulgogi Kim bob that had surprising ingredients such as seasoned kale and cabbage pickles. We are already planning on going back on Monday for another great lunch experience. read more

Simple original tasting Korean food! Finally they have rescued DC. Welcoming owners and easy to order with a elegant modern inside ambiance. 떡볶이 Korean Rice Cakes, 양념치킨 Boneless Fried Chicken, and 김밥. They have wine and Sapporo Beer and will have 소주 (Soju) and Korean Beer shortly. We will be back often. Prices are good but most importantly food tastes great! 감사합니다! Life Savers read more

My first carryout order from here! I tried the rainbow bibimbop and it was very fresh and delicious. The bulgogi was warm and flavorful and the brown rice at the bottom of the dish and the fresh vegetables (red cabbage, kale, carrots) & steamed vegs (corn, zucchini) that decorated on top were fabulous. This place satisfies my Korean craving here in Brookland while at work and I am excited to come back and try their other dishes. Now I don't have to run to Arlington or Centreville Virginia for a weekday Korean craving at work! read more

I used uber eats so can't speak to service but flavor was a GO! I got the spicy pork banh mi which came loaded with pork and a nice balance of fresh toppings to offset the spice and YES! There was spice!! The bread was a bit hard on the outside (think french bread presentation without french bread flavor or chew) and i requested extra mayo which must've been missed in the notes. Still satisfying. read more

I ordered takeaway and got the Special Pork Belly Bossam set (for two), which came with sides of rice, japchae, and kimchi banchan. The tray was neat and could have easily served as an immediate centerpiece the way that it was packaged. The lettuce was crisp, the pork was tender and good cuts of meat that weren't overly fatty. The japchae was light and a little sweet and savory--addictive. The kimchi had great flavor, and this was more than enough food for the two us. This was my first time having bossam where it was accompanied by lettuce instead of pickled cabbage leaves for wrapping, but the lettuce added a nice texture, and I just piled on kimchi from the banchan, along with the sauces, jalapeños and garlic, and it was delicious. We'll definitely get this again, and I'm planning to try the Traditional Bibimbap next. I'm so excited to find this nearby! read more

Bangbop - Pork Belly Bossam Special Set - Korean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I ordered kimbop, both Bulgogi and Vegetarian. I had it delivered to me, maybe 8min drive from this location. The kimbop was not tasty, the bulgogi was tough, and rice so cold that it lost the texture, and to top it off, the seaweed was all ripped, meaning it was not rolled correctly. The seaweed was also very tough to chew through. I never had kimbop like this. For context, I ordered 5 of them total and they all were the same. The veggie one was slightly better in terms of taste but it wasn't rolled correctly so it all ripped apart. I would not order kimbop here. read more

Simply the best....Great customer service and clean. Savory food flavor. Seasoned so well.

I found Bangbop on Uber Eats when they were located in Brookland. I order from Uber Eats quite a bit and this is easily my favorite meal. I always get the short ribs and it hits the spot every time. I've also tried the bulgogi rolls and vegan dumplings which were tasty as well. Now they've moved way across town from me but I still order from time to time. Even with the added travel time the food is still good. read more

Kimbap def not great. Tuna one had a ton of black pepper....had plenty Kimbap in my life but never had anything like that....

I saw this place on Yelp's Instagram page and since I was working in the city decided to go here for lunch. I thought it was a place I can order my food and sit down to eat. I was wrong. Once you enter the building there's a kiosk with the bangbop sign. You place your order and wait for it to come out. There are two other establishments in the building as well. The food I order was good. I wished my brownie came in one of those plastic trays, it probably would've tasted fresher. Also, I didn't get the correct drink I ordered, instead of the Korean lemon-lime drink, they gave my American Sprite. I probably wouldn't come back to this establishment. read more

OMGGGG ASGDJFGHKLLJAJSJA I've ordered from here just once through Grubhub, got two things their Korean fire chicken pizza and their gyopo (chicken) bibimbap. I literally just only had maybe 1/3 of their pizza and I had to write this review right away!!! THE PIZZA IS SOOOO GOOD. It has Korean seasoned chicken with kimchi and cheese. The taste is so authentic and so flavorful. It is truly a fusion pizza. The size is huge (definitely two meals worth). And the price??? Just $13 for this pizza?? My dudes PLEASE CHECK THIS PLACE OUT FOR THE PIZZA!! I will report back when I've had the bibimbap but I have a high expectations! This is definitely a spot to check out. read more

I got 11 bucks off my first order of bangbop and bulgogi dumplings. It was quick and they seemed very nice when I went to pick it up! It was good but the kimchi was a surprise and I wished it was on the side instead. The cilantro also wasn't cut up all the way. I loved the dumplings though and would Be back for those! read more

Great addition to the neighborhood! We had rainbow bibimbap, bao, dumplings and kimbap. Everything was fantastic and servings were big enough that we have plenty of leftovers. Definitely a welcome addition to Palisades/Foxhall. read more

Stopped by after a Korean art exhibit, figured this was close and on-theme. So glad I did! I had the classic bibimbap . It was a very generous portion, and so many different yummy vegetables, which I ate on the lovely deck. Washed it down with the complimentary barley tea, perfect accompaniment. Wish this place was closer to my house because it would become my constant go-to! read more

Outstanding service, amazing food. Beautiful little restaurant with great atmosphere. Nice outdoor seating too! Highly recommend

This place is AMAZING. It was a bit difficult to locate as they don't have a store front. So, a bit confusing. Order online and knock on the kitchen door to the right of Bullfrogs. They will come out and hand you your food. The kimchi has an AMAZING flavor. Dumplings were magical and the short ribs were honestly some of the best I've ever had. 10/10 will certainly be back for another fixing. read more

From a 10+year LA local. I ordered tuna kimbop, california roll, shrimp tempura roll, and tteokbokki. I've tried many of these dishes elsewhere but this place definitely has its own kick. Tteobokki was sweet and spicy, tasted like a typical homemade snack that my mom makes during the weekends. The other three menus were great as well, seems like it is made with lots of love. Definitely will revisit. read more

I'm really quite a fan of bangbop. I have had many options from the menu over time. The inferno is perfection- highly flavorful, lots of substance and various textures and large portions. The new japchae is also light and refreshing. I have been a bit disappointed in the vegetarian options which are low on the flavor and substance scales so I typically ate at back towards the pork these days. I appreciate their local sourcing and fast fulfillment. read more

So so good. Hidden gem. Great for vegetarians, too! Can't wait to go back and try more things

I ordered off the pork belly ssam off of Grubhub. The dish comes with a lot of meat, especially for the price! It was a little dry when it arrived to me, but I think that was due to packaging/delivery. I steamed the pork belly to reheat and it help restore moisture in the meat. The ssam included pork belly slices and lettuce leaves, as well as small containers of garlic cloves and sliced pepper, gochujang, spicy picked daikon, kimchi, and a tangy sauce that I couldn't identify that tasted like it had fish sauce, pepper, and vinegar. The picked daikon is incredible! I wish the entree came with more banchan or a larger quantity of the daikon/kimchi. I'm used to receiving much more at other Korean restaurants, even when it comes to takeout. Overall would try again! read more

The food tastes amazing! I was looking for something different and this place popped up plus they had the $11 off offer so i had to try. I got the beef galbi dish and it was amazing!! I would gladly pay full price for this. Not only did it taste really good but the portion size was perfect. Some of my rice was cold (the part that wasnt under the meat), which was odd, but I got over that. I will definitely be back for me. read more

Bangpop. [4 stars]. BLUF: This review is strictly for their Pork Belly Bossam Box - $20. GET IT!! Bossam. Just the word makes my mouth water... my heart skip a beat... my mouth water... oh wait I already said that!! ‍ Eating Bossam, for me, is a way for me to connect to the Korean half of me. It gives me an opportunity to taste and explore the seasonings and ingredients that my relatives have been enjoying for many lifetimes. It brings back fond memories for me of eating Korean food all throughout the different regions in Korea!!! I adore traditional Korean cuisine. Traditionally, Bossam is served with pork shoulder or pork belly and red leaf lettuce/perilla leaves. I personally prefer pork shoulder just because it is less fatty and gelatinous, but I have to say, @eatbangpop did a phenomenal job of keep their pork belly tender and lean!! I prefer red leaf lettuce and perilla leaves to the Napa cabbage but that is just my preference. Napa cabbage tends to be rigid and difficult to "wrap". Perilla leaves are delicious and give a slightly licorice flavoring to each bite!! Even though @eatbangpop's offerings steer slightly away from the traditional offering, I can see why @rudefoodpics and @theskinnifoodwhore rave about it. Note: @eatbangbop fully discloses that they offer their innovative take on traditional Korean food, so I was prepared for a "twist". I will definitely be a repeat customer!! @eatbangbop... any chance you could offer an oyster bossam box WITH perilla leaves?? #janjaneats #swipeleftformore #yelpdc #dclife #eeeeeats #foodnation #yougottaeatthis #foodbeast #eastcoastfoodies #forkyeah #foodporn #nomnom #seriouseats #foodilysm #bestfooddc #foodie #alwayshungry #nomnom #foodphotography #foodpics #NOTsponsored #getinmybelly #bossam #samgyupsal #porkbelly #koreanfood #refreshing read more

Nestled inside Brookland's Tastemakers, a food hall/incubator, is a Korean restaurant. Order online or order from the kiosk inside, they sell a variety of Korean food items from bulgogi to salads. My house went for Friday night takeout. We ordered from the kiosk, walked to the playground across the street and picked up our food 15 minutes later. They text you updates when your food is ready! My bulgogi steak and cheese sandwich was good! The bulgogi is flavorful as is the kimchi. read more

Wow, this place is delicious! Perfect new addition to the Foxhall neighborhood. The food is really yummy and home-made. The family has been running this restaurant for awhile in another location in DC, but recently opened up a dine-in restaurant in Foxhall. Great outdoor patio for drinks and will have breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night offering in weeks to come! The staff were SO friendly and enjoyable to meet. We will definitely be going back and hope to become regulars. read more

Had a picnic at the National Arboretum few weeks ago, and we got the perfect picnic meals. We got their Tofu Bulgogi Taco. Initially I was a little disappointed because it looked so pale, but turns out it's very flavorful! What did they do to the tofu.. idk. Then we had The Traditionalist Bibimbap - beef bulgogi. white rice, seasonal assortment of traditional korean bibimbap toppings. spicy house sauce (mild), sesame oil & seeds. It was so fresh, yummy and they didnt skimp on the beef. Honestly with $12 for this flavorful, colorful bibimbap, this is such a great deal. Thank you Bangbop Definitely coming back! read more

We were interested in getting Korean food the other night and decided we'd try a new spot. The $11 off first time order deal was too good to pass up, so we got a few things to try: inferno bibimbap, bulgogi kimbap, spicy pork bao, and bulgogi cheesesteak. The flavors of everything were pretty good, and the best thing was easily the bulgogi kimbap. However, the bread items were not good. I've never had a bun that had the taste and texture of white bread, but this is what it was like. Crumbly and not great. If these buns are purchased from somewhere, they're buying the cheapest ones. If they're making them, they need a bit more work. The bread used for the cheesesteak also wasn't good - it was dry and hard (though on the bottom where the juices had softened it, it was good. One pro is that portion sizes are pretty generous, and an $11 off coupon is great. Just avoid items with dough. read more

I saw a post about bangbop on Next-door and wanted to help out a local family-run business! We were returning from a long drive and were absolutely starving, so we put in an online order. They are currently running a $11 off coupon (for first-time orders), which was an awesome deal. We ordered the Inferno bibimbap, the pork bao buns, pork kimbap, candied dried squid, and a small order of pickled veggies. Everything was soooo good, but my favorite by far were the bao buns. I would definitely order these again -- I think they were the best bao buns I've had in DC. Everything was super flavorful and fresh. A note -- if you check online and it says that Tastemakers is closed, this restaurant inside is open for takeout and delivery. Just give them a call if you're worried, but all orders can be made online for a quick pickup! read more

We recently tried this new family-owned spot in Brookland. They have a variety of options, including buns, bao, wings, some creative pizzas, as well as a variety of bibimbap options with an emphasis on sustainably sourced ingredients. Our meals were filling with great flavors, we'll definitely be back when we want quick takeout! Love that they have options to take the flavors of bibimbap and turn it into a salad, plus some dishes with impossible meat as well as vegetarian options. read more

Super happy that there's a new Korean spot in our neighborhood...it's about time! The rice bowls (bibimbap) are flavorful, fresh, and delicious. Jam-packed with fresh, pickled and sautéed veggies, these will leave you feeling satisfied and guilt-free. We ordered the inferno and the traditionalist. Both were equally delicious and came with different meats and veggie combos. The spicy pork kimbap was a nice little snack, but probably not enough for a full meal. My only gripe are the portions for the side banchan. We ordered a side cup of the stir fried eggplant. For $4, we got a very stingy amount, about half of what their pictures show. Everything else on their menu seems reasonably priced, but this was a bit outrageous for the small amount you get. We will definitely return for their bibimbaps, but will probably pass on the banchans. read more

Definitely the BEST and most affordable Korean food you'll find in DC. Obviously, better in Northern VA or probably even Maryland. Got delivery which took about an hour (they use Postmates). You can get $11 off your order, but need to order $15 worth of food AFTER the discount is applied so technically more food like 3 items. I split with my roommate, and we def have some leftover. Everything was delicious and filling!! LOVED the spicy pork, and bulgogi was great too. I enjoyed the kimbap the most, except I wished they were actually cut into pieces (the traditional way) instead of two long rolls. It got too messy and hard to eat. The baos and banh mi were also really good. Don't think you can go wrong with anything. Will definitely order from here again when I'm craving Korean food and too lazy to drive to VA!! read more
