We were just walking by, noticed this place was busy, and decided to stop in. They serve a wide variety of traditional Korean dishes, ranging from tofu stews and noodles to grilled meats. The two soups we ordered were warm, comforting, and full of flavor. The seafood pancake and steamed egg were also excellent. There were plenty of locals dining here, and I could see why--the food tasted like a home-cooked meal. Another solid Korean spot in the DMV that I'd happily return to!

I returned to the business multiple times to eat the kimchi jiggae because how magical it was the first time. But I have been disappointed each time. I really don't know if it's because too many people are getting it and they don't have the properly fermented kimchi... but the jjigae tastes too sweet and the depth of flavor is gone. Maybe they changed the chef... I'm not sure. But it's still a good restaurant. I just miss what I had the first time. I'll return with the hope that the flavor will return. read more

Health: Yeah this is about as healthy as you can get for real food. Veggies. Probiotic kimchi. Lean meats. Tendons. Light Sauce. Seafood. Tofu. This is literally healthier than most optimized refeed bowls for athletes and everyone else alike. This is what genuine cuisine, Korean in this case especially, can truly be for the body's future. Price: For the quality here, the price was good. I won't say perfect, but when factoring in the insane amount of food just default served, the freshness, and the taste, this was more than worth the money. Plus it's in northern Virginia. So. Good. Experience: A clean interior with little wooden boxes full of clean metal utensils on the table. Staff with genuine hospitality. Insanely quick service. Iced Korean tea and water served for free. And look at that menu. Korean. English pronunciation. A description. It even has pictures. Honestly amazing. Look at the menu. Look at it. Taste: This is the best Korean food I have ever eaten. Anywhere. For the menu variety ordered, the preparation was immaculate. Fresh. Balanced. Even the portioning was carefully curated to blend the variety of sauces and ingredients. Not too spicy. Not too salty. Not too sweet. But full of ingredient carried flavor in every bite picked carrot, spicy soup, or ox knee dipped in sesame soy sauce mix. It's even separated into convenient little bowls for customization, but without the inconvenience of basically cooking your own meals. Honestly amazing. I'll come here again if I stop off in Virginia. Maybe I'll go here just for this food. You should come here too. And bring everyone. This place doesn't deserve to get buried behind a mountain of fried oils. This is real food. The kind that helped define a culture. read more

we went very early in the morning so it was pretty empty and quiet. a casual restaurant with many classic Korean dishes. We shared an order of mandu-which were standard. We ordered galbitang and beef sundubu jigae with noodles which was my favorite. Huge portion sizes and wasn't too salty with lots of noodles. We weren't given any other banchan besides kimchi: radish and cabbage which was mild and not sour. Will definitely be back! read more

I was very disappointed with my visit to this new korean restaurant. I usually frequent abbae, danji, or siroo for korean food but decided to try out this spot. The food tasted pretty bad. The bibimbap was unseasoned (usually the veggies are seasoned separately) and the meat was dry. The rice also wasn't cooked long enough so it wasn't crispy :/. The jokbal tasted like it was old/ reheated - the meaty parts were dry and the color looked weird. The gamjatang wasn't very flavorful and the meat was difficult to get off the bones. An overall unfortunate experience:/ read more

Very busy during a Sunday afternoon that it took 30-minutes (20 minutes more than expected) for my phone takeout order. The modeum suyuk ($43) was so good. I do wish that they provided more veggies to make the ssam, but you can purchase more for $5. It seemed unbalanced. I personally liked their ssamjang that came with the meal. It was so good that I didn't want to use any other sauces. It's a small place, but you'll find a seat by moving around tables and chairs. read more

Got the hangover soup and galbi tang -- both were super warming and comforting. The broths were rich and flavorful, perfect for a chilly day or when you just need a little comfort food. Portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when craving something cozy and hearty. read more

5 stars: would come back TL;DR: Extensive menu of a variety of Korean food - something for everyone's preference This space has lots of seating, and service is friendly and attentive. FOOD: We have tried several different dishes, some hits and some that were just okay, but nothing has ever been BAD. Our faves: ~Kimchi Jeon (4.25/5): the crispier type, but good flavor ~Gamjatang (4.5/5): great flavor and lots of pork ~Bossam (5/5): Very soft, flavorful, and huge portions ~Dwaeji deungalbi kimchi jjigae (4.5/5): great kimchi flavor and soft rib meat ~Myeongdong Kalguksu (5/5): broth was so flavorful. Dumplings and noodles were cooked perfectly. ~Bul Jokbal (4/5): Huge portions again and very tasty Others: ~Soondae (3/5): kind of bland. Better options elsewhere ~Jokbal (3.8/5): good flavor but a little chewier than I'd prefer ~Dwaegi galbijjim (3.9/5): more brothy/soup-like. Tasted very similar to Dwaeji Deung galbi kimchi jjigae Great spot for some Korean food. One of our go-to spots to scratch that itch. read more

Food was delicious, however it's a bit pricey. We ordered 3 soups, 1 seafood pancake and it was just shy of $100 dollars. It's a small mom and pop restaurant but priced not like that. The fact is the food is good. I would go all the time but with the price I can't afford it. read more

To those tho love tosokchon in Annandale, I swear this place is a Tosokchon dupe. We ordered the Dwaeji Gukbab and soondae guk. The soondae in the soondae guk was the exact same as tosokchons. Broth was tasty for both soups with a good amount of meat. The kimchi jeon was thin and very crispy. read more

Hannki was a local mom and pop shop serving authentic Korean food at a reasonable price in the centrevillenarea. We got the spicy chicken stew, meat platter, and chive pancake and everything was good! I do wish there was less tendon on the meat platter and replaced with others, and the chicken and potatoes in the stew to be smaller. Service was solid, it's a bunch of Korean aunties and the ambiance is homey and cosey read more

Definitely worth 5 stars :) My partner and I love Korean food but have typically stuck with lighthouse in Centreville as our go to spot. He kept on insisting that we try Hankki as it was new and we are always looking for better options. I'll admit that I was a bit hes but I am so glad we went! First I just want to mention that their customer service was 10/10. The staff was so friendly! The female owner was so kind and nice to talk to! She checked on us many times and made conversing our baby :) she really went above and beyond! And they were busy at this time. The food was amazing. Large portions and quality was also great. We had no complaints about anything. It was also very clean inside. My part saw they offered a particle that he has not been able to find at other Korean restaurants, so we are excited to try that next time! Can't wait to come back. read more

What a fantastic experience! The restaurant is small with an inviting atmosphere and the staff was super friendly and attentive from the moment we walked in. The menu is extensive with many pictures to help with their great selection of traditional Korean dishes. We tried a variety of things, and the highlights for me were the seafood pancake and gamjatang! The prices are also quite reasonable for the portion sizes. Parking is plentiful as it is in a shared lot with other businesses. A great spot for anyone craving authentic Korean food and a new add to our favorites list! We are definitely coming back. Enjoy! read more

Parking: the restaurant is located in a strip mall, so there is free public parking. However, it can get very busy because of the other restaurants, so you may have to park a little farther away. Seating: there's a little more than 10 tables inside. The largest table seats 6 people. It's a small-medium restaurant. It was clean inside. Food: it was pretty good! I really liked the yukgaejang. I would order it again! My husband thought the gamjatang was a little too sweet for his taste. The portions were also a good size. Bathroom: the bathroom is located at the back of the restaurant. Price: some of the food prices may be a little expensive, but the portions seemed pretty good. Service: our server lady was very nice & friendly. She also was good at refilling our kimchi side dish when it was running low. read more

Really great place for some korean soups! I have been here twice so far and it doesn't disappoint. I got the seafood soondubu and the soondaeguk, which were both delicious and flavorful. I really enjoyed the soondoeguk cause it has different kinds of meats in it and were all tender. My friends and I also shared the kimchi pancake which was also yummy. My friends also enjoyed their meals. I would probably reorder the dishes again or try something new!!! read more

If you're looking for an authentic Korean restaurant, then this is it! I felt like I was at one of those casual restaurants in Korea because they had the little self-serve utensil box and maybe barley tea(?) infused cold water that I love. I was a fan of their radish and kimchi that came out as a side dish and I really enjoyed their seafood beef tofu soup. It had such a flavorful and just the right amount of spiciness to hit the spot. I will say they didn't add a lot of seafood in it but I felt like the tastiness of the soup and plenty of tofu made up for it. I would totally come back! The servers were so kind and quick with my mom's requests for condiments or napkins and the food came out at a reasonable and quick time. read more

I have been here a total of four times and since the very first time, the food has been going downhill. The first time was in September. I ordered the pork rib kimchi jigae, beef soondooboo, and fried dumplings. Every dish tasted really good! The soondooboo was rich in flavor, the jigae is flavorful, and the dumplings were so delicious. Was excited about this new spot in Centreville! If the food stayed consistent, I would give this restaurant a 4 out of 5. The second time was early October and I ordered the seafood and beef soondooboo and I was very disappointed. The clams had like shells in them and did not taste fresh at all. I was scared I would get sick from them because they seemed very low quality but considering the other times, I thought it was worth returning. The third and fourth times were late October. The third time I ordered the pork rib kimchi jigae again and it did not disappoint. The kimchi was pretty good but I would say the food is pricey for what you get. The third time I order beef soondooboo but the taste had changed completely. I am not sure if it was a fluke moment, but I thought the jigae was just water and msg. No other flavor. No other taste. It left my mouth feeling dry. For a soup with just beef and tofu, I feel like $14 just does not make sense. I can make better food at home, so this was probably the last straw. Also, my friend got the seafood and beef soondooboo and felt sick after, so there is the issue with the seafood yet again. Overall, the servers are very kind. They also seem to do their best to keep the place clean. However, I am not sure if the food is worth it. I wished they had kept the early opening standards but it seems not well maintained. How unfortunate. read more

Hands down an amazing experience to another authentic Korean restaurant, but Hankki does better in flavor and customer service than the rest. Our waitresses were very accommodating, even going further to explain the different types of food, how to eat it, and what it goes best with. The flavor of everything was top notch as well, with generous portion sizes. Will be back for more! read more

I had the LA Galbi and a spicy cold noodle dish. This is a Korean restaurant replacing Seo Chon, and it is open from 6am to at least midnight. Basically similar to the other Korean restaurants in the area in terms of price, quality, and type of dish. Casual theme and design inside with a fair amount of seating, very simple layout. I really liked the kimchi here as well as the water they served. Service was good. Overall, I wouldn't mind coming here for a night meal. read more

Seo Chon is now Hankki. The menus and interior are labeled Hankki but the former name is still on the front of the restaurant. It's a small restaurant with super homey Korean vibes. I wasn't sure what to try because of the expansive menu. My friends got the kalbitang, clam (bajirak) kalguksu (knife noodles), yukgaejang kalguksu, and I got the mool naengmyun (cold noodles in beef broth). The star of the day was the kalguksu, especially yukgaejang. It's piping hot, beef noodle soup with a kick. The broth was rich and flavorful. Mool naengmyun was disappointing; there are better things on the menu (and better places to get mool naeng myun). Kalbitang was good, but for $18 it came with 3 short ribs. The banchan (side dishes) were 2 types of kimchi and soy sauce radishes. The kimchi is on the super fermented, sour side. I would come here again! read more

Great Korean home cooked food. Best in the area so far. I like pretty much everything. Their kimchi is so yummy as well

A little small so not great for groups but definitely family friendly. I love the decors very quaint and rustic.

We had an unfortunate experience at this restaurant. A large, disruptive group created a very uncomfortable and hostile environment. Despite several polite requests to staff, nothing was done to address the issue. We eventually had to involve the police because we felt physically threatened in the parking lot. Our food was never packed for takeout as requested, and we were unable to enjoy the meal we paid for. The staff did not handle the situation appropriately. We hope the management takes steps to better protect all customers in the future. The service we received doesn't even deserve a zero star-it should be rated in the negatives as none of our request was met. 저희는 이 식당에서 안타까운 경험을 했습니다. 크고 소란스러운 단체 손님 때문에 매우 불편하고 위협적인 분위기가 조성되었습니다. 직원들에게 여러 차례 정중하게 요청했지만, 문제를 해결하기 위한 어떠한 조치도 이루어지지 않았습니다. 결국 주차장에서 신체적인 위협을 느껴 경찰을 불러야 했습니다. 요청했던 포장 음식도 준비되지 않았고, 저희는 비용을 지불하고도 식사를 제대로 즐기지 못했습니다. 직원들은 상황을 적절하게 대처하지 못했습니다. 앞으로 모든 고객의 안전을 위해 경영진이 개선 조치를 취하길 바랍니다. read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt I had to say something this time. The soondae bokkeum I had today was honestly the worst I've ever had. It was $45, and the soondae had such a strong, unpleasant smell that I could barely eat it--I ended up leaving most of it. We also ordered the steamed egg, which had absolutely no seasoning, and the clam kalguksu was just a bland broth with barely any effort put into it. I don't know if the chef changed recently, but tonight's dinner was a huge disappointment. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more
