Inside
Hali Y.

This is a clean and cute quick eats place. We just got a tuna kimbap to go but the inside is very bright and airy. I would say the kimbap is much lighter compared to most traditional ones, but we liked it. Service was great, there was a Korean (I think?) uncle there who greeted us with a big smile, and the other staff was great and offered us water while we waited for our to go order.

Seafood tofu soup
Lydia C.

New and cozy restaurant that serves homemade Korean food! My husband and I were interested in a quick lunch, and we saw that this place was newly opened. The restaurant is small, but has cozy vibes with simple but neat decor. The owner himself is a kindly Korean grandpa and he greeted us and talked to us for a while, he also seems to be the main chef. I started off with the steamed shrimp dumplings which I really enjoyed as they were stuffed with shrimp and had a nice, thin dumpling skin. I also ordered the seafood soondubu tofu soup and my husband ordered the chicken bulgolgi. The soondubu had large chunks of tofu and a diversity of seafood, but maybe it could have had a bit more seafood. My husband also enjoyed his chicken bulgolgi and said it was very juicy and fresh without being too oily. I appreciated the pleasant and friendly service from the owner and I liked that the parking was easy and convenient, we plan to be back soon!

Bulgogi kimbap.

Went back for lunch today. It's that kind of place. If you are in the area, you owe it to yourself to stop and try this lovely restaurant.

Bulgogi kimbap

Small spot, big flavor. Bulgogi kimbap was amazing, perfectly balanced with fillings. Would definitely come again.

Yay! It's open!

(TLDR: All-around YAY in every way! A big 'Woo-hoo!' too! :-D) Exciting new restaurant in Rockville! What a fresh, clean, inviting and open space decorated by someone who clearly has a high aesthetic sensibility .... The hearty portions of food are delicious, served saucily (with sauce on the side) with a smile. Everyone here is so nice! There is plenty of parking nearby, including disability-marked spots and there is also a ramp to get up, with a large door to get in. What's really amazing about this place is how large it feels -- from the outside, it seems so small but once inside, it opens up magically into a world of tasty, healthy meals ... and a selection of frozen desserts one may peruse through the glass door of the freezer case by the counter, where food is ordered before being brought cheerily to one of the four white tables. The chairs, walls, and floor all being white adds to the feeling of increased space where once it was so crowded .... What a transformation, wow! Of course, this particular portion of this review won't apply to anyone who hasn't been in this space before but for those who have, wow! Just wow! It could be said to be very minimalist -- reduced to the absolute essentials ... with a few added extras for maximum yumminess and enjoyment! The framed art on the walls is most especially pleasing to the eye for those who appreciate such things -- and the beautiful-yet-simple, down-to-Earth placemats all come together to create a visually unique and special dining experience -- before the filling food even arrives .... Satiation is achieved in the most satisfying way possible -- for both stomach and eyes ... and also heart! One most special item is the small Korean pancake -- unusual because it's normally only available in a rather large size, so this is very different! It's just one of the things that distinguishes this particular Korean eating spot from other Korean restaurants in the area. This one is more health-focussed, with ... I hesitate to say this (not to dis on other places or the people there!), but the higher level of English available here really does help a lot. There is less room for miscommunication when ordering -- a very important distinction! It is really not fun to find out you've eaten something you specifically said you didn't want to receive, and only figure this out once it's too late! Lessening the chances of that is wonderful! No promises being made here about this but it seems that ordering in Spanish would also be a possibility ... and depending on the day and time, perhaps another language as well. To me, this is ideal and so fun! The food and art are specifically Korean but in some ways, it's more worldly than that ... so you really are stepping into another world when you come here! (Or rolling, of course, if that's how you arrive.) K Bap Express did take a bit of time to open -- but it's totally been worth the wait! The selection, kindness, and heart-expanding décor together provide room for a much-needed rest in many ways .... The visual interest so very well tended-to gives the eyes a way to eat and be nourished, as well .... There is something for every part of a patron to love! The presentation of the food is delightful, so you can soak it in before indulging ... and leave filled with nutrition for your stomach, eyes, heart, and soul .... Apologies if I have gushed repetitively about certain stand-out virtues of this place! It's just so deserving, I haven't been able to help myself! I hope you try it and love it as much as I do!

Each dish that we ordered was oily and bland, without sauces or spices. It was all pretty bad

I stopped by after my friend told me how delicious the pastries here were…read more Located in the busy strip of Asian eats and shopping, this bakery is filled with different pastries and drinks. I appreciated the variety of different flavors. I gave this place 4 stars for two reasons... 1. The price point was a bit high. I bought maybe 5-6 pastries and it came to just over $50. 2. Parking can be a nightmare depending when you come, especially on the weekends. There's a back lot and garage but even those fill up fairly quickly.

Cute little café with a nice, relaxed vibe. I could definitely see myself coming here to log on,…read moregrab a coffee or tea, and get some work done. The sweets selection wasn't huge, but there was a decent variety. I tried the blueberry cheese danish, which was pretty good, along with a couple of cookies. I'd say the quality is a step above Paris Baguette, which I wasn't expecting. The customer service was excellent, and the café itself appeared clean and well maintained. My only little observation was the front glass doors and they could definitely use a cleaning. And why do I ALWAYS notice the windows and doors at restaurants and cafés? Go figure! Apparently, clean glass is one of my things. Overall, a cute spot with good service, decent pastries, and a nice atmosphere for coffee, tea, or getting a little work done.

Great dinner spot for American comfort food, tucked away in Park Potomac!…read more My family and I decided to try this restaurant on a whim, and it didn't disappoint! We were seated promptly, even without reservations, and our server gave us excellent recommendations within minutes of being seated. We tried the grapefruit and hibiscus homemade sodas, which were so refreshing and very unique. For starters, we ordered the cornbread, and fig and olive bread. Both were delicious and served nice and warm. Our entrees included the poke bowl and chicken and waffles, which is pictured below. The chicken and waffles were a standout, and I highly recommend to try this! We were overall very pleased with our service and food, and plan to be back!

She continued to check on us periodically and gave us a beautiful experience. We all ordered a lot of food and everything was delicious. We were on the second floor upstairs and everyone I was with loved their food and service. We had another waiter down the other end but I didn't know his name, he did an amazing job too on the other end of our table. Both Ruth and the other waiter gave us an amazing experience. Thank you Founding Farmers. You have an amazing crew with Ruth she went above and beyond for us. We are thankful for her and the other waiter for our table!! Even though we were such a big party, we felt very comfortable and homey. Thank you again very much!!!!

Revisited Sunday Morning this past weekend and ordered myself a Hojija latte (one of my favorites)…read more Also ordered a breakfast sandwich for a friend. It was slightly busy but the line moved fairly quickly. The restaurant has a good amount of seating and a lot of people dining in were simply enjoying their weekend. Unfortunately I had to work so everything was to go for me. I would love to have the opportunity to just dine in one day. I also want to try their Virginia location since that recently opened as well. I'm also still waiting on their rainbow/chantilly filled croissant because it had to be the best pastry I've ever eaten. Would happily return here. Wish they had a punch card for their regular customers.

Picked up a few croissants and a hot tea. I got the Almond Croissant (love) and decided to try the…read moreBlackberry Pistachio Croissant as well. The Blackberry Pistachio Croissant was flaky and full of a sweet-tart house made blackberry compote and rich pistachio frangipane. For the hot tea, I got Island Mango just on the description - sweet bits of mango, pineapple, orange, safflower & hibiscus. It was served as decaf. Once I let it cool, it had a citrus taste, but not sweet. I am still glad to have tried it and did not have to wait long for the order. Within a block of leaving the business, while holding the hot cup with one hand (the sleeve only helped a little), some of the hot tea spilled on me suddenly (I now have a burned scar on my knuckle). I don't know if the cover was on right, or if my movements made the top come off. I couldn't blame anyone. I did go back and had them replace the top since the other fell on the ground outside. When they say "hot" tea, they are not lying. Moving forward, no more hot drinks for me.
