    I ordered #3 it was supposed to be beef broth with noodles and dumplings. It tasted exactly what it looked like noodles and water. It was hard paying $17 for this and letting it go.

    Man, SB Hans - you were our favorite in the K Market food court when we were craving for some good Korean food, but the past few dining experiences has been pretty disappointing. Their mul nengmyun, which was probably one of the best around the area, has drastically gone down in terms of quality and taste - the broth is not flavorful, the noodles are not prepared well, and the hot mustard sauce that is provided is watered down and has an off taste to it. Even one of the owners mentioned that the patrons who had ordered this dish did not finish it and was concerned in how the kitchen preps for it - but, there hasn't been any improvement whatsoever, so not sure what's the hold-up. The galbi jjim is good, but sometimes it can be a bit too sweet or too much cartilage; same goes for the dol sot bibimbop, where the prices are the same whether you get galbi or bulgogi as your protein choice. It's more cartilage and fat rather than the tender galbi meat, and sometimes, there seems to hardly be any meat in there. The prices are definitely on the higher end, as most meals seem to have skyrocketed in terms of pricing lately. I don't think we'll be back any time soon! +decrease in quality, especially on mul nengmyuns +more cartilage and fat in galbi +friendly service +located inside K Market's food court

    16.99 for a plate

    Tucked away in the food court of K-Mart, this place caught our eye. The deal was insane. 16.99 for a large plate of food off a buffet. We loaded up on some short rib, bulgogi, chicken wings, and japchae. Super delicious and super affordable. The selection was limited and there are plenty of other foods to choose from over this, but for what it's, this was incredible.

    For $16.99, you can load up your plate buffet style with as MUCH food as you want and as you can see from our plate, we went OFF. There was a pretty wide selection, and everything was delicious! I would absolutely come back here since it was an incredible deal and definitely enough to feed 2 people.

    4 of us went. Ordered and confirmed. She didnt give me the receipt till after the food came out wrong and she told us she gave it to us. But oppss she left it in the back or side. We ordered 2 spicy beef. 1 cream jjampong and one shrimp fried rice. The reg jjampong was the wrong order. She wouldnt admit she was wrong or offer to fix the order till we started getting frustrated and just said forget it we will just eat it. (Tall lady with short hair). It didn't have much flavor. After few bites it was just thrown away. None of us 4 finished any of the food. No one wanted to take it home but me. She gave me a hard time about a to go container and bag also. Smh. Wanted to like it....

    If you are craving for Korean comfort food this is the place to go! It's located in the food court of the Korean supermarket. All entrees are within $10-20. They provide soup and appetizers. Love their beef bibimbap, so fresh and delicious from the pot! Wait time was within 10 mins, the food court is spacious. Will recommend!

    Solid food court Korean food. $20 for an LA Galbi box with a lot of little side dishes, a great value! I would certainly come back. It's not meat heavy but makes up for it in side dishes.

    Rib Big Beef Bone Soup
    S K.

    Great Korean place in food court inside the K Market. Got lucky and it wasnt crowded. The big bone soup is as advertised, that is a BIG bone. Soup was tasty and there was vermicelli underneath (not rice as it stares on menu). The creamy seafood noodle was also very tasty. The soup wasnt as "creamy" as i expected but still good. You get mussels, octopus, and shrimp. The price was right for a food court. Will definitely return to try more things.

    I tried this place thinking that it would add to the solid food options at Kmarket. Unfortunately, it was a bit of a let down compared to the other food options. To have naengmyun featured in a food court, I do think that you have to be a standard deviation better than the packaged ready to cook meals sold at the grocery store. This was lackluster as nothing was particularly chewy about the noodles and the sauce was average. The presentation was fine but I don't think I'd be back.

    (F) Spicy Pork Combo  (B) Bulgogi Combo

    I came here after shopping for groceries and was pleasantly surprised. The service is swift. Even though it's not necessary, I appreciate the picture of the items listed on their menu as sometimes, even though I love Korean food, there are subtle differences in certain dishes and I forget those, so this was a great accessory for those that aren't super familiar with Korean food. I did the spicy pork combo that offered japchae noodles, rice, lettuce, egg, kimchi pancake, and another veggie pancake. My friend got the bulgogi combo. You also get banchan and miso soup. It's very filling. It's a typical food court setting. The food is savory and for the price, it's super worth it.

    Food was delicious , a price was affordable and staff was really nice. Recommended SB Hans Korean Food!!!

    SB Hans -- Not your typical food court quality. Where have you been, Ms. Han? My friend came across Yelp reviews and the photos looked so promising that we had to give them a try. What a wonderful finding! My friend had a pork backbone stew(Gamjatang). According to him, it tastes just like Korea. The best one he's ever had in the US. Truly authentic. I had stir-fried pork and I'd say the same as my friend. It brought me back to memories of hometown. They don't seem to use MSG. Huge portion. Lot of Unami. Not too spicy not too salty. Done right. One thing to note: The service is very slow as other Yelp reviewers mentioned. It's worth waiting.

    Was a very pleasant lunch at the K Market international food court. This was one of newer stands and have wanted to try it ever since it popped up. Had a chance to try today and was not disappointed. Got the Number 1 which was a seafood noodle with tofu and seafood. It also came with a bowl of rice (which felt unnecessary) and 3 mini banchan dishes. Everything went very well together and for $13 the portion size was gigantic. If I wasn't starving, could've easily brought half home and had it for lunch the next day. The flavor was well done, the tofu and noodle texture was soft and pleasant, and the seafood added a depth to the broth that was welcomed. Only knock against it is some of the dishes were very pricy (in the $19-$23 range). I will say after this experiment will be back to try out the more expensive dish to see if they're worth it. If they are then the 4 stars can easily become a 5.

    This is a honest review. The goal is for the restaurant to improve. Please don't delete it again…read more Food wait time was extremely long ( more than 45 mins) even though the restaurant was practically empty. The food tasted like it wasn't prepared by a real chef, or more like it was made by someone who had never even tasted their own cooking. It explains why the restaurant was empty vs. full house when it first opened. Honestly, any Korean restaurant in the DMV area is better than this. I don't understand how someone can screw up Korean food in Korean town. Every restaurant in the area gets better and better. Competition is high. The price is on the high end. I don't mind paying even more but please deliver in terms of food quality. They are 100x worse than my last 5 visits a while back. I'm a foodie with over 5k dmv followers. Please take this as a feedback to improve. I dine out everyday reviewing restaurants. When I say this is bad, this is bad. That's why this review comes from my 1 star review account. Back to 19xx.

From my understanding, this place is owned by the former owner of Khan, which was a well respected establishment in the area. I've only hung out upstairs, but it's a calmer vibe than a lot of the other hotspots in Annandale. There's no DJ and it's not super crowded, but the music is good and it truly is a place to just drink and hang out with your friends. The food here is actually phenomenal. From skewers to shareables like the potato pancake to entrées like the spicy creamy pasta, I've been very satisfied with it all. But really, what tops the food is the service.

The atmosphere is great for socializing, though it can get pretty loud on weekends. Service is fast and friendly. Food is hit or miss. Most of the smaller dishes are decent, but some feel overpriced. We took one for the team and can report that the $9 corn cheese was incredibly mid. The khanpoong chicken is the only main meal worth it to us. A Korean friend also recommended the bossam and skewers, and I'd agree the skewers are worth ordering. Donkatsu was okay, and the kikurage was good but probably only good bc I got the sauce on the side. Overall, a good late-night hangout spot, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for the food.
