Honestly, the food isn't bad but it's nothing special compared to the other korean restaurants near by. I would give it more stars but the service is absolutely horrid. The servers are only attentive to you if you order a crap ton of alcohol. Same server, different service depending on how much your check is totaling out to be. When only ordering food and they drop the food off and walk away. There were times where I sat for 10minutes with no utensils to eat my food, and no matter how much I would try to respectfully get their attention they would ignore me. I had to get up and walk over to their server station to ask for chopsticks- I got the chopsticks but with a side of attitude I didn't order. I vowed to never go back but my friends recently asked me to join them so I gave it one more go- and was once again reminded why I told myself I would never go back. You can get all of the menu items at danji from other korean restaurants. read more

Danji - Asian Fusion Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

My son and I have driven by Danji several times. That shopping center has several restaurants to choose from. We frequented Honey Pig recently so we opted to try something new. We decided to pop in today to check them out. We were not disappointed. We arrived after 1600 so it was dinner time. We were served plenty of banchan. Sadly there was only one dish that I could partake that wasn't spicy. The radishes, kimchee and fishcakes looked appetizing though. My son ordered the seafood pancake. Very filling and the right amount of crispness. Danji was generous with their seafood. It was just right for my palate as I cannot consume anything spicy. The diameter was unbelievable. It yielded at least 10 portions. Much better than the pancake we had recently at Honey Pig. My son also ordered the bulgogi which arrived in a stone dolsot bowl. Very generous portions. Beef was tender with plenty of juices. We hate dry bulgogi. It was accompanied by a tasteful seaweed soup. My favourite. I ordered the soup and croaker. It was a spicy tofu soup that was flavourable according to my son. I always wanted to try croaker as I am unfamiliar with it . The skin was perfectly fried to a nice crunch, very similar to how us Filipinos like to fry our fish. It was meaty and plentiful. Did I mention it came with two croakers? I barely made a dent into just half of one. I don't cook fish often so I appreciate it when someone else cooks it exactly how I like it. The service was on point . Another waitress even stopped by our table to check up on us. I don't know if we were eating too slow or not enough but I was offered a fork. I politely declined and was not offended. HaHa. My son and I were having a leisure meal and taking our time. I highly recommend Danji Asian Bistro. We missed the lunch period by an hour and their prices seemed reasonable. For the two of us, our dinner came under $50 which included two entrees, one appetizer and a soda. We walked away with plenty of bulgogi, seafood pancake and croaker to feed two or three more kids. We opted not to pack up the banchan and of course, we already had rice at home. read more

I heard that this restaurant is under new management from my friend and decided to give a try. Food was great and servers were very attentive. I'm so pleased that I found great restaurant to go and enjoy. One thing good to know is that they open until 10pm but last call is 9pm. read more

My friends and I went to the Centerville location and we were very disappointed with the whole experience. I think the food is pretty over priced and mediocre for the taste. The service was not good at all, even though we were seated pretty early on the other customers who came in later were getting their side dishes before us. When I asked the server if the side dishes were coming out she seemed to brush it off and we did not receive it until much later. It was hard to get the servers attention for more water or for anything at all. I will not be going there from this point forward. read more

Good food, great service, and prices. l loved every single food l ordered. I ordered seafood to pancake, spicy pork, bibimbap, and bossam. Big portion size for the price. Highly recommended!! read more

Absolutely amazing food! Best Korean food I've eaten so far. Lots of food for the price which are very reasonable. If you love Korean food better try this place! Lots on the menu. I had the teriyaki chicken and my date had the pork hot bowl. We shared dumplings and everything was read more

Danji - Leftovers from my "lunchbox" they give you so much food , I always have leftovers! ordered them today and they were amazing and under $10 - Asian Fusion Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Good food... probably one of the best korean food in centreville... why 1 Star then? Horrible service. Beyond horrible. The lady with short hair, probably in her early to mid 50s, who takes your order is horrible. She gives you the vibe of 'ok order fast... stfu.... eat... pay... gtfo ASAP!!!' She pissed the shit out of me. Seems like she doesn't care about her customers and just wanna take money out of my pocket. Will visit there again (although not as often cuz of the service) but won't leave more than $2 for the tip if she takes order from us. And I normally leave 15-20% tip when I order take outs and leave around 40% when I eat in the restaurant. Didn't felt the service was bad when I was there before yesterday but now she got my attention. I'll just tip the person who bring me water personally and leave $2 tip after I eat. read more

Same as the first location in Annandale, just larger and cleaner. I just wish they would change the side dishes from time to time. I never tire of the grilled( actually deep fried) fish and other fish dishes but the sides keep me from going more often. read more

The food here is great, atmosphere is relaxed, service is okay. We were greeted when we walked in, and seated immediately. They brought water and cups out right away. We were given menus and time to look over it. My husband chose the fried chicken, and I ordered the yuk gae jang. It took about 20 minutes for our food to come out, along with banchan. When the food came out, it came together and it looked delicious. It was all very hot and clearly fresh. My soup was spicy, not too spicy, and not too salty. It had a great amount of beef and a great amount of vegetables. Very well balanced. The fried chicken was amazing. Sweet, spicy, crunchy, and moist. I was jealous of my husbands choice. My only complaint about this place is they didn't come to check on us AT ALL. We ate for a long time and not once did they come around. Finally, we were ready to leave and waited there for almost 20 minutes just for the waitress to ask if we wanted the check. She boxed my leftovers up, which was nice. I believe the owner was sitting next to our table but he didn't seem very friendly. All in all, I'll go back. That chicken was delicious. The soup reminded me of grandmas. read more

A pretty solid Korean restaurant. The interior is modern compare to other Korean restaurants in the area. I always order their signature fried chicken and shrimp fried rice. The fried chicken is a bit different from Bon Chon and MC. First, it's boneless but it's still very crispy and savory. It's so good! There are always only two servers (one is the owner I think) so there service can be a bit slow if it's really busy. Overall, if I want crispy fried chicken I would head here to satisfy my craving! read more

3.5 stars My parents and I took my grandparents here to get them out of the house. There's an array of Korean restaurants in the area so it's difficult to remember what's good and what's not, especially if you're not regulars and with the quick turnover rate. We actually mistook this place for another, but ended up having a decent experience. The interior is very modern with a lounge feel and the side dishes were surprisingly better than average. Service was slightly lacking, however. They seem flustered even though there were only 2 other groups and they crammed everything onto the table, leaving us to clear out the plates and reorganize the dishes to the correct person. Fried dumplings - Pretty good with a crisp, not overly oily wrapper. The stuffing didn't fill the entire wrapper, but still had good flavor. Dukbokki - Quite spicy with a hint of sweetness. The duk wasn't too chewy or hard. Comes with a soft-boiled egg. Grilled fish - This was the best dish of the night. Perfectly cooked, although the skin could have been crispier, and not too salty. Came with a side of doenjang jjigae which was a nice addition. Soon doo boo - On the watery side and the doo boo was firmer than it should be. Yook gae jang - Not the best, not the worst. Had a lot of beef and veggies though, plus a hefty serving of noodles at the bottom. Overall, I would only recommend the grilled fish. Otherwise, I'd say this is just another mediocre Korean restaurant that's slightly better than average. read more

Wonderful, authentic Korean food for a great price! We had banquet noodles, fried chicken and shrimp fried rice, and it was wonderful. Side dishes were varied and plentiful, and meals included dwaenjongjigae (soybean stew) and egg soup- good deal. The service was great, and you cant beat 1.99 draft beer and spa world $20 passes. I felt like I was back in Korea at a lunch place. Also, the bathroom was positively sparkling. I don't know about you, but when i go to a restaurant and the bathroom is grubby, I worry about the food. This bathroom absolutely gleamed, not even a smudge on the faucet. read more

The recent reviews are correct: This place is To Sok Jip #2 and it clearly says so in the window of this restaurant, despite still bearing the old Danji name on the main storefront sign. Even their chopstick wrappers still say Danji. However the menu is of the original To Sok Jip in Annandale. Food is the exact same quality and quantity as the Annandale location. The same casseroles, stews, fish dishes (I love the broiled mackerel!). Their yook gae jang beef stew is the best I've had. Expect lots of bold flavor, spice, and authentic smells that are definitely not for newcomers to Korean food, but more for intermediate diners who are used to the taste of kimchi and seafood. This restaurant is definitely more spacious than in Annandale, however it still attracts long lineups on weekends. So do not be late if you're hungry, make sure you show up no later than 6:30pm on weekends unless you'll be waiting. Word of warning, the service may seem very minimal and quick, with little interaction, as well as you having to wait a few minutes before you can successfully flag down waitstaff. This to me is a sign that they haven't prepared for the raging popularity of this location. The waitstaff are not trying to give you attitude, so DON'T take it personally, and just be patient - they at the end of the day want your table cleared just as badly as you want to be served. read more

Wth. Their food sucks.... no flavor and they were missing main ingredients... I ordered the clam kal guksu and they ran out of clams... so they came me boiled water with thick noodles... my mom ordered the bibimbap and it was so bad and the rice was not fresh... my mom didn't even eat her food... they charged me full price for something they couldn't even make... and worst of all.... the server was an asshole.. all her huffing and puffing and eye rolling was unnecessary. You can't even ask for fucken water. The bell thing doesn't work either so you literally have to yell at them to get their attention. Please save your money and go somewhere else... the biggest waste of money... it was so bad my mom actually told me to write a review and she has never done that... read more

Don't come here anytime even close to 10pm. We walked in at 10:15 and the guy lets us stand there for a bit before coming over from the back of the shop making a face. He tells us sorry but they're closed. This guy has sorry but not sorry down to the T. Yelp and the front of the store say it closes at 11pm. Do yourself a favor and save the steps. read more

My husband love their pan fried dumplings. Their menu price is very reasonable $7-$18 depending on the dish Good size portion for the price. I love their soup, the broth tasted like homemade soup with rich bone in the recipe. It's a small cute place, you can pull down the blinder to have some privacy from the table next to you. read more

I had my eye on this place awhile ago but never got a chance to try it. Finally my roomie wanted to grab dinner last night so I recommended this place due to the good reviews. My Korean fried chicken craving also was real so we ended up coming here. We were not disappointed! The fried chicken was fried to perfection and super tasty. Portion was also humongous. As someone else mentioned in one of the reviews, I think they fry it with some rice cake batter. Unique and delicious! I will be back to try other dishes. #win read more

Came here with some co workers to have them try this place. Got the same things as last time and the chicken was great as usual. The jolmyun wasn't as good as I expected it to be. Overall we had a lot of issues with service, food came out various times and one meal didn't come out till an hour later. We felt bad since it was one lady working but it seemed like she forgot the order. I would go back here for the chicken, the quality was good but the banchan for a Korean place was mediocre. read more

Food is good and authentic here. I got the spicy pork rice dish (well two orders - one for my wife). The spicy pork was a bit too spicy for her even though she said it tasted really good. The place is very small. Minus one star because the portions aren't that big and each dish is about $10 or so. read more

Very friendly and fast service however, food quality has gone down so much. We ordered mackerel and bean paste soup combo, and bibimbob, and mackerel was so dry :( we were very disappointed about side dishes that came with the meal too. read more

The restaurant is clean & bright w/ pull down shades that can separate tables, no one in there was using them but I found them to be interesting. We were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. What's up w/ TVs in the local Korean restaurants? But anyway...We ordered the Korean fried chicken & spam fried rice, which came w/ 4 ban chan plates. Everything was really good. I wish I knew the name of the small plate I really liked, but the language barrier prevented that. The portion of the chicken was huge and extra crunchy, served piping hot. I can't put my finger on what made it a little difficult to chew though, only on certain pieces. It didn't seem like it was reheated or anything. I wanted to ask the waitress if she preferred the spam rice or the shrimp, but her English wasn't very good. The Chicken is served w/ some mayo drizzled on top, unnecessary because the chicken is so good but pretty. I saw a sign that mentioned Spa World $20 passes, but we weren't offered them (just realized this a few mins ago) and that's a little upsetting. read more

What a nice surprise. Some of the bad reviews scared me at first but I wanted to give it a try. We ordered boodaejjigae, ja gal chi kkom jang uh( eel) and spam fried rice. They were all good.

Came here with a group of work friends for lunch a couple days ago. Service was super sweet, friendly, and endearing. Our group ordered an egg-based pancake with octopus bits in it -- and by God, it was HUGE!!! It was like a small-sized Papa John's pizza. It was a great family-sized dish to share with each other as a party of five, enough that we even had leftovers to take home! I ordered some cold noodles that honestly weren't the best, but that could be because of my own misunderstanding (plus, the pancake made up for everything). Would definitely come again for a nice, homestyle Korean meal! And that pancake. read more

Food is delicious! If you go with bunch of friends, highly recommend getting Jeongol dishes to share. It is a lot of food and you also get bunch of side dishes. I also tried their broiled fish and soup which was pretty good. I couldn't give it a 5 star because of the service. The ladies that work there has no idea whats going on and very inexperienced. I feel like they are confused every time I ask them for something? I took my parents and some of my family members here to eat and it took almost an hour for food to come out. They got lucky the food was good and hit the spot. But overall, I would go back there! read more

Their daegu-tang and chungguljang were very authentic and portion was decent. The owner was very friendly!

This place is probably rubbish to mediocre. A lot of people ordered the budaejigae and so I wanted to try it. It might just be me, but it tasted oily and meaty and no other flavor. They also don't give you that many noodles so it's literally like 3 types of meat and a hint of ramen noodles, with meat broth. The kimchi fried rice also barely had any flavor to it and was just mediocre. Definitely needed more salt too, which is surprising because you would think Kimchi fried rice would be easy to make. The banchan too was also mediocre. Nothing that really made me say refill this for me again! read more

I use to love Danji, but they recently changed their menu and no longer offer chicken options.

Not bad, service was good, may update my review once I had more variety from the restaurant. I feel like three stars is harsh, especially since I'm probably headed back one of these days... but the soondubu jigae had a pretty major flaw. The soondubu Jigae (soft tofu stew) is similar to a lot of soft tofu stews in the area but doesn't come with the full service of, say, Lighthouse Tofu, and when my friend got it here, despite being in a dolsot (sizzling rock pot), the stew was not really bubbling. It was... warm, not hot. It almost looked like they waited to serve it until what I ordered came out. This flaw is an entire star off the review. Furthermore, I know it was only like $8 but it looked pretty anemic, with only tofu and a green onion or three... no meat, substantial vegetables, or seafood to be seen. I ordered the Korean Fried Chicken, which then makes the above statement sort of make sense but is still something of a misstep. That said... the Korean Fried Chicken was the standout, with deeply fried, breaded and ultra crispy bits of chicken that had a decent meat-to-breading ratio and the sauce and flavors were really spot on. Dissecting the dish a little, they seem to be using almost a layer of sweet rice cake as breading so it can stand in the fryer longer and get extra crispy... but chewy and soft in the inside. Both my friend and I enjoyed it immensely. I was a little apprehensive ordering a $16 plate from a Korean restaurant (price point, price point!) but it was well enough for two meals and I eat a lot. read more

This place used to be one of my favorite Korean restaurants, but ever since the owner has changed, the menu has changed and so did the service. You can tell by how this place is no longer crowded. The food tastes okay but it took me a long time to decide what I wanted to get because either the food I want is no longer on the menu or they can't make it at the time (which I didn't get any explanation why). I don't think I'll be coming back to this place unless I'm forced to. read more

The food is very delicious and authentic! Service is so nice and friendly. The atmosphere is very bright and welcoming as this place is usually full!

Unlike many traditional Korean restaurants, this place has great customer service and the staff was patient in explaining the food to my friends who weren't familiar to Korean food. They also accept multiple credit cards, which is rare in Asian places - we had 6 credit cards and they were happy to accommodate us. The restaurant also had dividing panels that you can pull down from the ceiling to create privacy for your party. Each table also has a bell on the bench that you can ring the staff whenever you need to speak to them. Very cool place and overall delicious. read more

Came here for the first time on a Sunday evening and the place was packed with several large parties. There seemed to only be 2 people taking orders and delivering food to the tables. The service was mediocre- not welcoming, slow to be serviced, and rushed, but the food was pretty good. We ordered the dukbokki ramen and the tofu and kimchi (this was a huge portion which explained the $25 cost) - big portions overall and tasty but not mind blowing. read more

I love every dish at this place. Their fried chicken is what they're known for. I must say.. it's reduced in size three fold since I last visited a year ago. Now it's about an inch in diameter. It used to be about 3 inches in diameter. It was amazing. Their omerice is yummy. Their donkatsu is a pretty hefty portion. Their ddukboki is on the sweeter side but not too sweet. And in general everything is good. You can't go wrong! read more
