    I was able to walk in with no wait time around lunch time. Our waitress was attentive and even made suggestions to try some house dishes, definitely recommend trying at least 1. Prices are average and I would definitely try again for lunch again or even dinner! Very family friendly, I was able to take my grandmother and she loved how friendly the staff was!

    I came here for lunch and thought that it was a great Korean-Chinese restaurant! As someone from NYC, it's so difficult to find Korean-Chinese fusion dishes so when I found one while I was in Virginia, I was so happy! The restaurant is homey and casual, with great quick service. We ordered their special dumplings, jjajjangmyeon, tansuyuk, beef fried rice, and donkatsu. It was an all-around amazing meal. The dumplings were huge and saucy (despite being so red, they were actually fairly sweet). The jjajjangmyeon and tangsuyuk were hits and both delicious. I also loved how they gave black bean sauce and jjampong broth on the side for you to enjoy with your fried rice. The only dish that might've been a miss was the donkatsu as we thought it was a bit dry. Otherwise, everything was great and I would definitely come back if I was craving Korean-chinese fusion, or just a comforting meal!

    We ordered takeout from here for a party several hours ahead of time on their website. While most of the food was pretty good (lo mein, fried rice, bulgogi), the spicy squid dish was disappointing. The sauce was watery, so most of the squid was unseasoned/didn't hold the sauce, and the squid had a more rubbery texture. The reason why I give 4 stars and not 3 is because the staff told us they lost our order, but were able to spin up the 5 dishes we ordered in record speed of under 7 minutes to get our pick-up order ready in time, which I really appreciated! Maybe next time I'd come back I'd try dine-in and focus on their Chinese-Korean dishes like jajangmyun, which is more of their specialty.

    Health: On the heavy side, but genuine enough for what's in the cuisine. It's a slightly Americanized portion Korean restaurant. Not bad for someone who knows what's actually in each dish. Not exactly light though. Price: Decent. Not too bad either way. The portion size is definitely enough for what you pay for a dish. Experience: Made pretty quickly. I arrived on the later side and they were accommodating. The interior was clean, the menu was clear with English and Korean. Good. Taste: Very flavorful, and with a decent variety to it. Each dish tasted as good as it looked, without too many good or bad surprises. Though, I will say the dumplings were very good. Kinda heavy, but the sauces did add so much flavor. Them being made in house was a bonus. Green flag. Very nice Good taste. Significant portions for the price. Fast Service. Overall, not bad. I might come here again.

    Tang-Su-Yuk with Pork was awesome!
    Gilbert G.

    My wife, two teenage sons, and I came here in early August 2025 for a Saturday night dinner. First, it's a clean, informal place that's family-friendly with lots of parking in a strip mall. The location is a few minutes south from the Lotte Plaza in Centreville - kind of close to the Route 29 and New Braddock Road intersection. Second, the Tang-Su-Yuk with pork was amazing - very tasty. The regular jja-jjang myun noodles were OK, but not particularly flavorful. One of my sons ordered the jjam-pong which he enjoyed a lot. I think it's probably better to dine-in at the restaurant because it's best to eat the Tang-Su-Yuk while it's hot. Third, the service was very good. After ordering within a few minutes of arriving, we were asked if everything was OK (or if we needed a refilling of water or the appetizer tray of yellow radishes and onions). I think it's a solid option for Korean-Chinese food in northern VA.

    Chicken tang su yuk (medium)
    Rachel K.

    TAKEOUT REVIEW : Ordered takeout for 2 for dinner. We ordered jjang meon, medium chicken tang su yuk, and combo b+c (fried tied and jjang meon). We picked up the food pretty quickly after it was called in and got home within 5 minutes. Noodles were already room temp when opened the takeout out. Jjang meon sauce was also not hot. This made for a barely warm bowl. The fried rice was good and had a nice smokey flavor. Chicken tang su yuk was very crispy and this was actually hot. Overall everything tasted good but the temperature was off for the noodle dish. I think eating in person instead of getting takeout would be a better experience but I guess this was okay for what it was

    Japchae jjangjangmyun - yummy!
    Nikki T.

    Portions here are always massive. My favorites are the yoo rin gi pork and the japchae jjangjangmyun. The japchae jjangjangmyun especially is a pretty big portion for the price! (I think 12.99?) (However I wouldn't get the regular jjangjangmyun it was alright)

    Good fusion alternative to Jang Won for Korean Chinese Tried this place in March to venture out from Jang Won which is my go to Korean Chinese place in Centreville. Hao ru is easy to find and located in a quieter and smaller shopping center. The decor is straightforward and clean but nothing special. Clientele skews younger and appeared to be mostly Asian. Service is good with to the point interactions (I speak Korean so no language barrier). Got the fried dumplings to start (dumplings are large, crispy, and tasty), seafood jjam pong (stir the broth prior to eating since the broth tasted better on the bottom; some of the veggies in there were non traditional but hey it works), tang jja myun ie combo b + d (jja jang myun was a bit sweet for my liking but still good. Tang su yook was good), and khan poong shrimp (best dish of the spread. Shrimp was fresh and fried coating was perfectly chewy, spicy, and sweet). I think the flavors here are more fusion vs traditional korean chinese but enjoyed the dishes nonetheless. I liked the jjam pong better than the jja jang myun. Curious to try the cream shrimp next time!

    It's up there with Jang Won. JaJaMyun and TangSuYuk sauce is smoother than Jangwon. Taste is more suddle. Portions is healthier than Jangwon. JamPong broth carried the same characteristics as well, smooth and suddle. Prices also slightly cheaper than JangWon. On a Wednesday night and it's packed with Korean families, is a good sign. Service was attentive and friendly. Always checked on our table.

    Haoru is a family friendly restaurant that won't break your bank. There aren't too many Korean-Chinese food options in Centreville. I have tried Haoru for about 2 years now. I think the food, cleanliness and service was better in the beginning. I think it is the natural order of things for restaurants to get dirty over time, but there are improvements to be made in terms of cleanliness. The portion size is generous for a good price. I like their brisket Jjampong and gan jjajang. The tang su yuk here doesn't have a whole lot of batter around it so I appreciate that. You can either pour the sauce or dip the individual pieces based on your preference. Also, this is a tip: put some ice cubes in the pickled radish along with some vinegar. It'll make the radish crunchier. There are plenty of parking in the mall.

    Seafood gan ja jan was standard we ended up ordering more noodles to soak up the sauce.
    Ha T.

    Not as good as it used to be. The creamy lemon shrimp used to have a crisp exterior but the sauce is now fully seeped in. Flavor is still nice and shrimp and portion is huge, but I miss it seeming freshly fried and then tossed in sauce. Chive japchae was new to me but I thought there would have been some glass noodles in the dish like typical japchae rather than the chive replacing it. The seafood gan ja jan was standard we ended up ordering more noodles to soak up the sauce.

    This korean chinese fusion restaurant was one of a kind! There were a variety of noodles, fried meats, rice, and seafood dishes that all looked delicious! The servings are what got me... THEYRE HUGE. One order of tang soo yuk (fried pork) could feed the whole table and it was super good with the sauce. The food came out super quick and the server even taught us how to eat it. The inside is super clean and nice, the smell was amazing too.

The dark meat isn't skinless, and immediately falls off with the batter. The sauce was good though- tangy and sweet. I agree with another Yelp that the protein could be chopped into smaller pieces.

At the time…read morethere was an opinionated man taking our order which wasn't a huge deal, just weird, but the food left something to be desired. Fast forward to 2026 and we thought we'd try again because maybe something had changed. Ordered through the online platform, enough so that we could score the free spring rolls. Food arrived super-fast to our delight! Unfortunately, the food wasn't so great. The chicken appetizers were either incredibly overdone, flavorless, or both. The spring rolls were okay. The soup was about 90% white pepper, while the soup crackers were extremely stale and rancid. One of the entrees was incredibly salty; the other was incredibly bland. The appearance of both was very brown with obvious charring (not the good kind). Every dish seemed to share the same particular flavor. The fortune cookies, however, were very fresh, not stale as I'd expected given everything else. Conclusion: I already wasn't a fan in the past, and it seems to have gone downhill from there. Would not recommend.

He compared my weight to my friend's (she is thin but taller), saying she was fat/curvy. I can assure you that she is skinnier than he is. He also said he thought that my 17-year-old friend was 12 (after calling her curvy!!!), ALSO unprompted. He continued to make small talk after both of us were just trying to order and leave.

After we left, I remembered that I don't have to be nice to assholes, so this review is going to be far from kind. I hope this review can warn someone to never take their daughters here. Old men don't get the societal pressures women face. It's more than just a comment on our weight, it's how society values us as humans. All we are to society is our weight and men like him will never understand how that feels. Call me sensitive, but I'd rather be sensitive than an asshole. It's time to retire. TL;DR beware of old white man who bases what women should look like off of the child p0rn he watches. Must I stress calling a supposed 12-year-old curvy? Ew.
