    Stopped by recently and had a mixed experience. The server was working alone but did an incredible job--attentive, efficient, and nice despite handling the mini lunch rush. The lychee ade was good and super refreshing! However, the food itself was pretty mid. We did the option B ayce.

    This place is a hidden gem. Everything is Halal. This is a Chinese Korean restaurant. The seafood cold noodles was very interesting. I have never had it before. It is a very hearty and filling dish. I loved the dumplings and the beef brisket with rice.. and of course from a Korean classic jajangmyeon - it is a noodle dish topped with savory black, bean sauce, pork and vegetables! They also just came up with new fruit-ade drinks! Perfect for Summer and the spicy dishes! I tried the mango and lychee flavors so good!! Plenty of parking and super clean restaurant ,highly recommended!

    My friend and I tried this spot for the first time today. The portions were just right for the two of us. Most of the dishes were very good but some lacked flavor and were a bit bland. Our waiters were very courteous and helpful. Overall it was a nice first time.

    I went here with my friends to try the AYCE dinner on a weekend. Firstly, the place looks great and welcoming. It wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. There are two options for the AYCE - we picked Option A which is slightly cheaper than Option B. Option A included Fried Rice, Ja Jang Myeon, Lo Mein, Tang Su Yuk, and Spring roll. I can tell that everything it made fresh so it can take a while before a refill arrives. The dishes were good and decent. The portions were small - but you can always order more. The food quality is decent and the dish options were a little limited but a good option for groups and you want to try a little bit of everything. I would probably go back to try the ala carte next time.

    You can tell real care goes into both the food and the guest experience at Hao by Haoru. If you're a fan of Korean-Chinese cuisine or trying it for the first time, Hao is a must-visit! The overall restaurant is modern, clean, and welcoming. I think it would truly make for a great spot for both casual dinners and group outings. Staff were knowledgeable about the menu and happy to explain dishes, which really elevated my overall experience! As for my meal, it was my first time trying yoo rin gi and it completely won me over! The fried chicken was perfectly crispy with a savory sauce. Another very crispy and light item were the veggie spring rolls, which tasted great with the dipping sauce. The oyster jjamppong was rich and flavorful, while the seafood jajangmyeon was hearty and full of toppings. The cream lemon shrimp was comforting and the crab egg drop soup was silky and warming. Lastly, my favorite were the fried dumplings, which I was told are made with house-made wrappers and filling! They were THE BEST fried dumplings I've had! Every bite of my meal was delicious, especially paired with ice-cold Terra which tied everything together perfectly! I would highly recommend checking out Hao by Haoru!

    Authentic Korean noodles are hard to find, but Hao by Haoru is as close as it gets. We got the Seafood Gan Ja Jang (JaJang noodles with seafood instead of pork), the veggie Mapu Tofu, and a fried rice/Jampong (spicy seafood noodle soup) combo. Plenty of food to go around! The noodles were perfectly chewy and the toppings added great flavor. The JaJang was deep and earthy and the Jampong was spicy and flavorful. Definitely on our go-to list for authentic noodles, this place might even make we *want* to visit Fairfax just to eat. If you haven't tried Hao, get out there, and you'll be glad you did!

    The food tastes great! Quick service and friendly customer service! The chill and relaxing ambiance! The music is good enough.

    Stopped by after son's baseball game in the area. What a great place to celebrate a big win with some deliciousness! Right upon entry, we were greeted with a warm smile and seated instantly. The lighting was very bright and the place was very clean. We opted for the Combo B Fried Rice & Jjam Pong and the Hao Ja Jang Myeon, which came highly recommended by the server. Both dishes were prepared fresh and very tasty! Parking was plentiful as it is shared with all the businesses in the center. They do have a great AYCE options, which we have on our radar for our next visit. Enjoy!

    I tried their ayce lunch menu - such a good deal! They make everything to order, so your food comes out hot and freshly made. I LOVED the kkanpungi (super flavorful), jjampong (can really taste the wok fire), and tangsuyuk (i like dipping the meat into the sauce separately so it stays crispy). The fried rice and lo mein noodles were also really tasty! The interior was very clean, modern looking, and spacious. It's definitely a great spot to come to with a large group! The food came out quickly and service was great :)

    Combination Fried rice
    Sharon H.

    The Khan Poong Dumplings were good--very doughy and fried with a sweet and slightly spicy sauce on top. Everything else was pretty bland in my honest opinion. The Han Special seafood noodle had very little seafood, but the noodle had a good wok hei flavor. Crab Meat Egg drop soup was imitation crab and looks like it was just plopped in to the base. My friends egg drop was thicker than my egg drop. The fried rice combination came with black bean sauce and soup. The fried rice was better without the black bean sauce. Overall, I wasn't impressed by most of Korean Chinese combination dishes. However, it was LARGE portions and made me full, so there's that.

    Got the jajangmyun & tang su yuk combo and it was pretty good in flavor. The tang su yuk was pretty crispy and not too hard. The server was also very friendly and kept checking up on us.

    New Korean Chinese place that opened up in Fairfax. I've tried their Centreville location, also good. I would say maybe portion sizes here a bit smaller though. Overall attentive service and good quality food from my experience. Can't really take advantage of the AYCE though bc it's only during lunchtime during the weekdays.

    Tried this Chinese restaurant because it advertised itself as Halal, so I was definitely surprised to see pork on the menu. That was a little confusing, but overall the food was actually really good. The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the biggest surprise was that my kids cleaned their plates completely -- and they are usually very picky eaters.

We had our noodles fall apart and Yan corrected it immediately. She took the time to talk about her story of how she opened the restaurant originally to support her daughters college, her natural gift at cooking, and how her recipe was developed originally from a family one to what it is today.

I skipped the ma po tofu this time, but they claim it offers genuine numbing sensations and they did enough to convince me that it might be worth coming back to try.

Once we were finally able to get a server's attention, we placed our order and everything else came out pretty quickly. From there, we received consistent service while our meats were being cooked on the grill. Still, the initial experience of being ignored for so long was frustrating and really took away from the overall experience. The menu is also pretty pricey for the quality, and unfortunately, I don't think it's worth the price. There are better KBBQ options in the area, so I wouldn't recommend this location. Definitely disappointing, especially as someone who enjoys their first location in MD.
