Goddamn Came to…read morethis place craving pork belly. Pork belly was overcooked and portions were too small (best judge of a restaurant-- could you make this yourself? Not even close here and thanks to Costco I could've 3x the portions). But the other two dishes I had were out of this world. Best kimchi pancake I've ever had and the spicy seafood soup was just incredible. Looking forward to coming back whenever I'm not in the mood for pork belly

Chung Dam is fairly new and recently came under new management, so we decided to give it a try!…read more We went on a weekday during dinner time, and surprisingly, the place wasn't loud or crowded, which made it nice to sit, eat, and actually have a conversation. The menu has a pretty large selection of Korean dishes, and a lot of them come in generous portions that are perfect for sharing. I also love that they offer Korean street food like tteokbokki and grilled skewers! The tteokbokki was SPICY, and I mean really spicy, but it was so delicious! Definitely worth trying if you can handle the heat. For the skewers, I ordered corn, shrimp, chicken heart, and king oyster mushroom, which came out to $17 total. A little on the expensive side for skewers, but honestly, not too bad. Everything was seasoned really well except for the king oyster mushroom, which I felt could've used a little more flavor. Overall, I enjoyed my experience at Chung Dam! The atmosphere was comfortable, the menu had plenty of options, and the portions were great for sharing. I'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu, especially since there were so many other dishes that caught my eye!

I really hate leaving negative reviews, but I think people should be aware before visiting…read more JMT has a clean environment and is usually a fun place to watch games. Unfortunately, I have not had a good service experience here. I visited a couple of times during the World Cup because of their advertised drink specials, and both visits ended with us being overcharged. When we questioned it, the staff gave what felt like the same rehearsed explanation each time. Before ordering, we specifically confirmed with our server that they were running the $5 rail drink special. By definition, a rail (or well) drink is made with the house liquor and a standard mixer. At JMT, however, you'll be charged extra for every little addition without anyone telling you beforehand. A splash of cranberry juice or tonic water resulted in additional charges that were never mentioned by either the server or the bartenders. On top of that, a 25% gratuity was automatically added despite our server being largely inattentive. Throughout the night, we repeatedly had to get up and ask for things ourselves, and not everyone at our table even received a cup for water. To make matters worse, both their menu and website clearly state that automatic gratuity applies to parties of 8 or more, yet our party of 6 was automatically charged 25%. When we brought these concerns to our server, he spoke with the manager, whose response was simply, "That's how we do things here." He explained that he wasn't familiar with the drinks because the bartenders determine the charges, and that it would be difficult to void and reprocess the bill. We were also told that they always add 25% gratuity for parties of 6 and that, in their view, a rail is simply a shot rather than a mixed well drink. Those explanations directly contradict both common industry terminology and the information advertised on their own menu and website. I understand that restaurants and bars get busy, and mistakes happen. What was disappointing was being told that they've been operating this way for a long time instead of acknowledging the inconsistencies or updating their advertised policies. That reflects poor management more than an isolated mistake. It doesn't feel good to invite friends somewhere only to have everyone end up paying more than expected because the advertised specials and gratuity policies don't match what is actually charged. I can't say how often this happens, but after experiencing it on multiple visits, I'd strongly recommend reviewing your bill carefully before paying.

This is a honest review. The goal is for the restaurant to improve. Please don't delete it again…read more Food wait time was extremely long ( more than 45 mins) even though the restaurant was practically empty. The food tasted like it wasn't prepared by a real chef, or more like it was made by someone who had never even tasted their own cooking. It explains why the restaurant was empty vs. full house when it first opened. Honestly, any Korean restaurant in the DMV area is better than this. I don't understand how someone can screw up Korean food in Korean town. Every restaurant in the area gets better and better. Competition is high. The price is on the high end. I don't mind paying even more but please deliver in terms of food quality. They are 100x worse than my last 5 visits a while back. I'm a foodie with over 5k dmv followers. Please take this as a feedback to improve. I dine out everyday reviewing restaurants. When I say this is bad, this is bad. That's why this review comes from my 1 star review account. Back to 19xx.

The rest of the experience is mid. I've not had the food here, but the drink selection is just OK. Some standard beers and overly-sweet mixed drinks are the main selection.

I've had the Korean bulgogi sandwich and it was quite good (although I'd certainly recommend other area Korean restaurants for a full dinner, this is delicious if you're just pairing it with some drinks!). But what makes this place standout are the bartenders. They have always been great to talk to, and they handle large crowds with aplomb! Go and say hi, grab a game of pool (it is after all the cue club - they have a lot of tables), and enjoy a good drink.

While the place was nice looking and relatively clean, with only two people on staff (at least visible to us), nobody was clearing the used tables. Customers had long gone, but their dirty (used) dishes sat on the tables like they belonged there or as if clearing tables was the responsibility of the customers and nobody told the customers! It was actually kind of strange. In all fairness, there was robust take-out traffic!

Drinks $15. Perrier, sparkling water $7. I did not order any food. I came here to see Charlie Aponte from Puerto Rican Power and he put on an absolutely amazing show. He has a great voice, tons of energy and danced the entire time. He's someone's grandpa and he was straight fire!!! They had three sections, and three different ticket prices . Seated or VIP tables in the front, semi-VIP which was standing behind the VIP, and then general admission, more standing in the back. There's even more seating areas by the first bar when you first enter. The venue is not bad. I've been coming to Diamond Lounge since forever. Great space for dancing. They play mostly Latin music like salsa, merengue, bachata. The crowd and environment totally depends upon who they're catering to. I've never had any problems because I usually go for special events, live concerts, etc. Plenty of bands and singers perform here and come from many places like Cuba, NY, Puerto Rico, DR, etc. Sometimes local Go-Go bands have shows here as well. The AC could be improved. It can get pretty warm in there. Bottome line, Diamond Lounge could use some upgrades, but overall I haven't had any issues. People come to hear the music, dance and enjoy themselves. But it really depends upon the crowd and who they're catering to.

There only seemed to be one or two waiters in the whole restaurant and we were checked up on maybe once after receiving our food, even though it was shockingly empty. The food itself was good, rosè tteokbokki was spicy and texture was perfect. Kimchi pancake was also crispy and had a good ratio of batter to kimchi, but it was pretty bland and definitely needed the sauce. Kkanpungi was decent as well as the buddaejiggae and prices were fair. Drink pictures may be misleading so make sure to look at the description! Anyways the whole experience felt like we were just eating in the dark with quiet background music. Don't expect anything for birthdays either. Anyways would go back for the food but extremely lacking ambiance wise.

I tried the "Pineapple Mule" and the "Tropical Hawaiian," which is basically a Blue Hawaiian. On the weekends they play music and they have an outdoor patio for warmer weather events. My servers were Celine, Brandon, and Kira--"like Shakira without the Sha," as she told me and Natalie. Lol.
