Back to try the other food in the menu and it was really savory and comfy food. From the hot stone bibimbap and to the mackerel and soup these are all a good food we enjoyed. The staff were all attentive and straightforward where it makes things easier. The place was packed when we visited and this was Saturday (dinner). Despite of the busy restaurant they made sure that the place is neat and we didn't wait for so long to have our dinner. read more

Tried Danji recently -- it's the sister restaurant of To SOverall, the food was great. We ordered the bossam and the chicken soup, and both were solid and satisfying. That said, I still prefer the original restaurant, but if I'm in the area, I'd happily stop in for a meal here. The staff were friendly, the place was clean, and I really have no major complaints. read more

This is definitely one of my go-to places for specifically grilled mackerel (Godeungeo Gui). It comes with Jjigae/soup (choose between soybean, riceh soybean, and seaweed), but I don't usually care for it so I always pick seaweed since it's good for you. Complimentary banchan is given, but not our favorite. Our other go-to dish is the Samgye Tang (ginseng chicken soup) since it's very hearty and good for you especially when you're feeling under the weather. Same with the mackerel! The staff are very nice and attentive. Same owners as Tosokjib in Annandale which is also just as good (maybe even better since more options)! read more

This place was great. I ordered the bean paste soup, it was so flavorful. The Korean pancake was amazing. My friends had the chicken soup, also delicious. The service was really friendly and they were fine with splitting the check for four, always a bonus. They are in the same shopping center as SpaWorld, you should definitely come here after a trip there. read more

This place is one of the few that really offers authentic Korean food. Easily recognized them as a sister restaurant of Tosokjip, which I really love. I always get the seafood pancake and braised mackerel. Perfect with a side of soju! Servers are friendly, and the restaurant is very spacious. Can offer group seating. read more

Danji by To Sok Jip provided an excellent dinner experience. Our party of 7 adults and 6 kids was definitely tough to handle. We ordered roughly 6 entrees, two chicken noodles, and two appetizers. Our total came out to be $225 post-tax. My favorite was the Bossam. Essentially, this dish enabled me to create my own cabbage + pork burger with kimchi and garlic and jalapeños as my add-ons. The budae jeongol was the party's favorite. They loved the flavor! My favorite appetizer was the spicy stir fried squid! The others loved the seafood pancake. I think all of the dishes hit the spot! The service was surprisingly good. The price is honestly unbeatable for the amount of food and the quality of food! We will be going back! read more

The restaurant is very cozy and service was amazing! We were seated and serviced immediately. I got a simple spicy beef soup- serving size is more than enough. The broth was delicious, generous amount of meat and veggies too. Definitely will go back, im surprised this place isnt more busy read more

This is my go-to spot whenever I'm craving mackerel! Their grilled mackerel and doenjang jjigae combo is my absolute favorite. The mackerel is perfectly grilled, very juicy and never dry. The doenjang jjigae is equally impressive, with just the right level of spice to complement the rich, savory broth. Service here is always quick and efficient, and the staff are consistently polite and attentive. read more

If you ever been to ToSokJip in Annandale, this place is their "second location". It's a small restaurant inside but luckily it was not busy when I went. It started to pick up for the dinner rush though. I got the braised mackerel, and it was SO delicious. One of the best things I have. Only because I love fish and I love the sauce/broth they made for the dish. They must've use gochujang for the sauce. The fish was so amazing. And the portion size was meant for 2 people but we still couldn't finish it. It was so great. Highly recommend! read more

Danji - Braised Mackerel - Asian Fusion Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

This Korean restaurant in Old Centreville Crossing, Centreville, offers an impressive array of authentic Korean dishes. The ambiance is clean, and the service is consistently good. We enjoyed trying their Samgye-tang (chicken soup with rice and ginseng), which was delicious. Due to the windy and chill weather, we decided to try braised skatefish in the spicy stew. It was delicious --perfectly hot and bursting with flavor, the fish was soft, and the radish blocks were soft and savory in the delightful broth. The spicy squid was equally fantastic, stir-fried with vegetables and finished with a chilly-based sauce; every dish paired perfectly with a bowl of rice. This place is worth a visit! read more

We had an extremely disturbing experience at Danji. While dining with our baby, we were preparing to go to the restroom to change a diaper after being reminded by staff. We immediately stood up and complied. However, the staff member (maybe the owner)continued to question us aggressively, and as he walked away, he turned around and said the Korean profanity "ssibal (씨발)" toward us -- an extremely vulgar curse word equivalent to the F-word in English. This was shocking, abusive, and completely unacceptable behavior toward customers, especially a family with a child. This restaurant clearly lacks basic professionalism and respect. We will never return and strongly advise families to avoid this place. read more

To Sok Jip in Annandale was our go-to spot for dank Bossam but unfortunately when their restaurant closed due to a fire we searched for another reliable spot. Danji was recommended from multiple people and the Bossam lived up to the hype, it was a huge serving, tender, and flavorful! The grill mackerel was good as well, crispy and salty. The banchan options were diverse and fresh, definitely refilled on most of ours. Service is on par with most Korean restaurants. read more

This place has good tasty food served fresh and hot. Side dishes are tasty and are refilled for free. Typical Korean style. The Yu Ge Jang soup was full of meat and broth was good. I was craving Sam Ge Tang for a month or more and it was good. The chicken was meaty and the broth was good and very satisfying. BUT. The orders are expensive. There are posters from 2019 calling it cheap eats. Not now. But if you don't care about the price and want tasty food then this is a good place to read more

Seemed like a legit Korean spot because most of the patrons were middle aged eating here on a Sunday. I had a decent experience here, ordered a jjigae and others ordered the ginseng chicken soup and the mackarel casserole. The ginseng chicken soup was simple and light, but not much ginseng flavor. I would probably skip this dish if you want more ginseng herbally flavors. The jjigae was flavorful but had some interesting things like zucchini and potato in there. The mackarel was the highlight imo. It was flavorful and not too salty and the fish was soft. I barely got any bones, a plus! And finally the banchans were all good. Especially the bean sprout and I don't even like bean sprouts. The tea was also a nice Barley tea flavor. Overall a great time! read more

The 고등어구의 was so good. I was blown away. The kalguksu was also hearty and good not too salty.

I really hope not they do recycle the rice from whatever left over from the tables. The rice that I 've ordered came out innot a good way. Some parts of rice was yellowish and it looks like it was added from leftover from other people's table. So disgusting! I throw it away!!! I really hope not they do recycle the rice! read more

Came on a rainy Tuesday for lunch. I tried the yukgaejang and Bossam. The bossam is large and could be shared with at least 4 people as an appetizer. The yukgaejang was large and tasty but a bit too salty. It came with purple rice. The banchan included cabbage, radish, and perilla leaf kimchi and bean sprouts. There's a server call button and they were accommodating. read more

This small restaurant serves one of the best homemade/home style classic Korean dishes, from soups to grilled fish to boiled marinated pork slices with cabbage, it is simple and classic.

Giving this place 4 stars after my second visit only because of their weird "leftover policy" and service. Food and ambiance was great as it was during my previous visit. As for the service, it gave me unpleasant experience. The biggest disappointment for me was the part, when I asked for to go box and waitress asked me "what for". Ummm, for the leftover food and I pointed at the table. I had rice and 3 side dishes left over. The waitress said that I can only take rice and not the side dishes. Then, she asked me if I still want a box.. Honestly, never before I've been in the situation where you cannot take left over food unless it's "all you can eat" restaurants. On top of that, this time as soon as I walked in, the waitress was staring at me for like 60 seconds deciding where I should sit. It was a bit awkward bc I was literally standing in front of her in the middle of the entrance also not knowing what to do. And time goes very slow when you're just standing in one spot. Place was 75% empty, so I don't see the reason that took her so long to decide. Anyway, I was already looking through the menu when she brought the QR code and said "it's the menu, scan it." I was confused but opened it. It took me to their website explaining what's Korean food is. Then, I noticed that next to that QR code it said, "if that's your first time trying Korean cuisine etc, etc." Ngl, It felt off. No one assumed it's my first time trying Korean food when I came there with my friend previously. So, I feel like 4 stars after this experience is way too high, but I really enjoyed my food. read more

Two consecutive days of visit. That's how much I liked it! I realize a lot of that is preference. Both days-food was consistently good/tasty and well portioned. Service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance was relaxed. Definitely worth a visit and something worth returning to. read more

Decided to try this place out with my mom after hearing good things about their food. Overall, I thought the food was great! My mom got Galchi gui & chungookjang jjigae and I got yukgaejang. Before the main dishes come out, they give you 6 assorted side dishes with warm white rice. They all tasted great and the main dishes came out soon after. The grilled fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. I don't usually like grilled fish, but I thought it was delicious. The side of chungookjang jjigae was pretty good too! My yukgaejang was huuuuuuuge. Honestly was bigger than my hand. Also, not bad. Although the food doesn't come anywhere close to my mom's home cooking, I say this place is pretty great for a restaurant with great prices. ($10 for each main, so our total came out to be $20 + tax + tip). I don't think I'll be back because of the limited selection of menu (maybe it's different for dinner?), but nonetheless, I have a feeling a lot of adults would like this place. read more

This spot is a go-to dine in spot for my parents, so I was excited to give it a first try. I was highly disappointed, however, after tasting the food. The biji-jigae had no seasoning and tasted extremely bland, the spicy pork was also pretty subpar & the meat quality wasn't great, and the grilled mackerel was also nothing special. Everyone in our family was extremely disappointed by the experience and we're surprised that the food quality could diminish this greatly when dining in vs getting take out. Willing to give it another try in the future, but for now I will be going somewhere else for korean food. read more

My best friend and I love to try new places and this was one of her bookmarks since she was visiting me in Centreville. Service was pretty fast and friendly so I'm not sure why there's some negative reviews. The restaurant isn't that big but it felt homey. The food portions were HUGE!! I have always had to take leftovers home when I come here. I definitely recommend the seafood pancake - it's worth the price for how big and thick they make it! I also really liked their sweet & spicy fried chicken. I'm craving another visit as I'm writing this review! read more

When you walk in you are hit with the smell of chung guk jang, which is a traditional Korean fermented bean stew. To some it may be a hash smell that takes some getting used to, but for me its the smell of home :) I think the fish dishes here are great, my favorite being the joki gui. The haemul pajun is also crispy and filled with seafood, would recommend!! read more

Love their lunch specials, especially the fried fish with different soups. And their bossam ? Omg!! Must try!

I'm not quite sure why Danji gets a bad rap on Yelp -- this Korean restaurant is an overall great place to grab a bite to eat. LOCATION/AMBIENCE: The restaurant is located in the same shopping center as Spa World and H-Mart. It's super convenient, too: go grocery shopping or grab some baked goods at Tous les Jours afterward. Parking is super easy. The ambience of the place is about average -- it's clean, simple, and it just works. FOOD: Having eaten here many times, I go back to the same couple of dishes. The Sweet and Spicy Fried Chicken is amazing -- it's extra crispy and glazed with a flavorful, well, sweet and spicy sauce. The toppoki with ramen is also tasty; it has just the right amount of rice cakes and vegetables (and ramen!). If you are in the mood for soup, I'd recommend the budae jigae -- it has sausage, tofu, fish cakes, and more. The banchan here varies based on the day (as in most places), and is always fresh and delicious. SERVICE: I haven't had a problem here with the service; it is usually quick and attentive. read more

Didn't know it was the same restaurant as Tosokchon in Annandale. I go to the one I'm Annandale for lunch occasionally cause it's closer to my work but this is even better! It's close to my house now I can even come here during weekends as well. I normally get Chunggookjang (which is fermented bean soup, it does acquire taste and smell - not for Korean food beginners) at their Annandale location but now I can eat here as well! Today I had their Gobchangjeongol (spicy intestine soup) it was really good. Gobchang (intestines) was so soft and didn't have that particular smell when you treated wrong. The portion was so big I think 4 people can eat it more than enough (it was me and my sister and I brought more than half home). Their side dishes were so yummy and definitely going back here again in the future. read more

Danji is no more as the very popular To Sok Jib in Annandale has taken over the space previously occupied by Danji. The Annandale TSJ is a hole in the wall with about 8 tables and a line out the door. Since they acquired this location around July of 2018, a similar buzz has made its way to Centreville. The menu cover says 'Danji', but the inside of the menu is clearly the same as TSJ. As for the food, it's some of the most authentic Korean food you will find. This may turn off some, as the pungent smells will hit you when you walk in the door. We ordered the army stew (budaejiggae) and yellow croaker (jogae gui). Army stew was full of sausage, pork, and kimchee. One order can feed 3-4 people. I ordered the croaker for my two boys, and they loved it! The skin is crispy and the filet inside is soft and flaky. Be careful of the small bones, though. Service isn't great, but that's to be expected at many traditional Korean restaurants. Who cares? The food is good. Our family of four ate here with friends who frequent the Annandale location and they reported that the food was the same quality. Here you just have more space (but still a line to be seated). read more
