    We had the chicken lollipop and jajampong both were so good. The chicken was so delicious crispy outside and so juicy inside. The server was nice and fast. The restaurant looks like looks clean although they are almost closing. Highly recommend

    The first time we tried Da Rae Won, it was dinnertime, and they were slammed, so we ended up eating their famous lollipop chicken in our car--and it was delicious. We came back for an early lunch and were seated on the other side of the restaurant, which was empty at the time. The service wasn't great until that section began to fill up. Even though they make their noodles fresh, the jjajangmyeon wasn't great. The noodles were on the softer side, and the sauce had very little flavor. The tangsuyuk, however, was a nice portion--we opted for the larger order for just $5 more. We would return to try their jjamppong, which many people were ordering.

    Hand pulled noodles with black beans onions and pork. Incredibly savory.

    Super savory hand pulled noodles served in a variety of bowls and soups. This place is the real deal.

    Whenever I am in the area and have a craving for Kkanpunggi or Jajangmyeon this is place I go to. All the noodles are hand pulled. You can hear the slapping noise when they are making the noodles. I love their Kkanpunggi (lollipop chicken). It's probably their signature dish so don't miss out. What makes their Jajangmyeon great is their fresh noodles. You can't go wrong with either dish.

    Came here for lunch. Not very busy. Food came out quick. We got the lollipop chicken in a sweet and spicy sauce. Delicious and nice and crispy! Small parking lot. Service was nice.

    Food was delicious, hot and fresh! Must get the lollipop chicken. We ordered the jjampong less spicy and it was perfect flavor. They had pull their noodles as well. Jajangmyeon was good, a bit too many onions is my only complaint though.

    This is a whole in a wall located in Beltsville, MD. Not a fancy place but the food is amazing. They make their own noodles and you hear the person slapping the noodles in the table and as the guest, you can actually see them make their own noodles noodles. I went here on a Sunday and they have plenty of seating because it was earlier (before 5pm) but the place started getting busy as it gets later. Big serving on food so don't order too much. We ordered the black bean noodles, fried chicken and the bulgoki with rice

    30. Lollipop Chicken
    Jason L.

    Ordered for pick up. They changed the inside of the restaurant. The food is still terrific. We got the lollipop chicken and bulgogi. Came with rice and radishes

    I've been coming here for three decades. It's always nice to visit from time to time when I'm in the College Park area. I love their kanpunggi. The jjajangmyeon could be a little more flavorful, but I believe this is the only place in the area that makes handmade noodles. The service is great, and the servers are always attentive. It's always a great dining experience here.

    Came here with a couple of friends after a coffee date during winter break. We ordered japchae, lollipop chicken, and bean noodle soup for the table. Everything was delicious although the bean noodle soup had LOTS AND LOTS of onions. Totally forgot to take pictures of the before, however I do have the after and the leftover.

    We got the tang soo yuk, jjajangmyeon, and jjamppong and everything was so yummy! The portion size was huge and the service was great. The restaurant has a lot of seating and is clean and cozy. Will definitely return for my next noodle craving!

    When I am in the area looking for some fried chicken and jajangmyeon, Da Rae Won is the place I visit! I have visited this establishment multiple times and really enjoy the service and food here. I feel the food is prepared solidly and tastes great! One of the dishes I always look to get is their Lillipop Chicken, essentially their take a fried chicken. You get a very generous plate and the chicken is always crisp and full of flavor! If you do not want chicken, you can get other options such as pork or shrimp with the similar offerings of sauce which I have also tried and is good as well. I will say that the chicken with the bone is my favorite style here! The other dish I like to get is the jajangmyeon, noodles with black bean sauce. It is a simple, yet well-prepared dish that I never have complaints with. Da Rae Won always satisfies my craving for these noodles whenever I need it! The place can get busy at peak hours and it is with good reason, as it has been there for years and people keep coming back!

    My brother and his fiance made the trek to Beltsville, MD just to try this place. They said the jjajangmyeon (noodle with pork and black bean sauce/ black bean noodle) was mid but loved the fried chicken (kkanpeunggi) so much, they ordered another to go and dropped it off. I've never seen anyone lollipop korean fried chicken. The sauce and seasoning was delicious, but the chicken was super over cooked. It ate dry and hard. Edit: I mentioned this place and my experience to a friend and they also had the exact same experience-- they came here because of rave reviews from peers and found the JJM to be bad but chicken and tangsuyuk to be good. We discussed this at a group dinner shortly after, and someone mentioned that they were under new management/ ownership. Oh no! Be advised.

    Ask the Community - Da Rae Won Restaurant

    Can you get jjajameyon (sp?) without pork?

    My wife said "Absolutely."

    Any low sodium options on the menu?

    They have a soy bean noodle dish that has little to no sodium. But it's a creamy flavor and usually eaten during the summer. You can google "kong gook su" and it'll bring up the recipe with ingredients for your reference.

    Are there any gluten free options here? (no soy sauce, batter, flour)?

    Unfortunately, no gluten free options

    Are the noodles vegan?

    Yes - they normally are made of flour.

    Is there a vegetarian jjajangmyun at Da Rae Won? What are other vegetarian options. Thanks!

    You can get it without pork, but I don't recall any other meatless dishes.

    Any lunch specials?

    They don't have anything separately designated for lunchtime, menu is same the entire time of operation.

Service is always friendly and fast, and the food is packed with flavor you don't often find elsewhere Konjac Noodle Salad - Sour vinegar flavor with a nice kick. I loved the little konjac noodle bundles -- super bouncy and great at picking up the sauce. It's a perfect summer appetizer: refreshing with crisp veggies like cucumber and carrot but doesn't hold back on flavor. 3.5/5 Sour Soup Dumpling - Delicate skins with a savory pork broth that leans more comforting than sour. The filling falls apart as you bite into it and tastes like a mix of pork and vegetables. Simple, clean flavors 3/5 Spicy Beef Noodle Soup - My favorite dish so far! The broth is beefy, spicy, and rich with depth -- layered flavors that feel satisfying but not overwhelming. The meat was flavorful and chewy with fatty pieces that melt in your mouth. Loved the chewy, knife-cut-style noodles that soak up the broth, and the pickled veggies plus fresh cilantro kept it light and bright. 4.25/5 Cold Rice Noodle with Spicy Fried Chicken - Super sour but well-rounded -- flavorful without being sharp. I usually don't love rice noodles, but these were soft, bouncy, and satisfying. Surprisingly, the fried chicken stayed a bit crisp even in the broth. It's fried in a way that's drier and chewier, but that concentrated the flavor instead of making it actually taste dry. Great summer noodle dish 4/5 Signature Fruit Tea - Definitely on the syrupy side, which I expected, but still decent. Lots of blended fruit flavors -- sweet, slightly artificial, but enjoyable if you're in the mood for something fruity 2.5/5

You will find Japanese options like sushi, American-Chinese dishes like orange chicken, similar dishes, and Cantonese food like roast duck, Hong Kong-style noodle soups, and whole fish. They are family-owned and operated. Every time we come, the elder father is always gracious and provides excellent service. The restaurant is always quiet; you can hear conversations in the back, and as customers arrive to pick up their orders, we haven't witnessed any negative interactions. Customers are always happy with their food, and the staff say thank you. The only negative is the space. The building itself is older and outdated. In the summer, it is hot, and now in the winter, there is no heat. They have found ways to make it work, like space heaters on each table, but it can still get uncomfortable if you are dining in. The back area near the bathroom and the bathroom itself need a thorough cleaning. To me, it's a turnoff; it doesn't affect the food, but it does affect the dine-in experience.

I could hear the manager in the kitchen repeatedly asking the cashier, "What are we taking bacon away from?" because no one seemed to know what meal they were supposed to be making. After hearing the same question asked several times, I simply tried to help by saying that I had ordered the Cajun Shrimp Fettuccine. Instead of appreciating the clarification, the manager pointed at me and said, "I'm not talking to you, I'm talking to her," in a very rude and dismissive tone. I wasn't trying to interfere--I was only trying to help clear up the confusion caused by the incorrect order. As a customer, I found it incredibly disrespectful to be spoken to that way, especially when I was being polite. Everyone makes mistakes, but there is no excuse for treating a customer with disrespect. I hope management addresses not only the training issues that led to the confusion but also the way customers are spoken to.
