2.5/5 We came here on a Sunday around 3PMish. Spacious inside, public parking lot. Did not need reservations. My chicken fried rice was meh. The texture of the meat seemed to be the same texture of the pork in my mom's Yi San Seul. The Jjajang sauce was kind of jelly like, so half of it was sort of inedible. My dad's oyster jjampong soup was good and flavorful; however the noodles felt lacking. We kept having to wave over the servers for refill of water, side dishes etc. I heard this place was pretty good so maybe it was the dishes I got? read more

This has to be the best Korean-Chinese fusion food I've had in a long time! I particularly loved the Naengmyeon (cold summer noodles). It had Asian pear slices, pickled summer radish, cucumbers, and beef to name a few ingredients. The noodle texture was perfectly QQ and the mustard sauce on the side that comes with it brings just enough heat to this refreshing dish. I also really enjoyed the fried shrimp with wood ear. It would've been perfect with beer or soju, but I had to drive after dinner. One day, I'll have to get it as take out! Service was fairly swift, and the dining area was well lit and cozy. I would heartily recommend having dinner here with family and friends. read more

Kangchon Korean Restaurant, located in Centreville Square II Shopping Center, offers a variety of Korean and Korean-style Chinese cuisines. I visited for lunch; however, the food was unimpressive, lacking notable distinction. For instance, I have experienced superior bibimbap--seasoned vegetables and beef slices over rice, combined with a sweet and spicy gochujang sauce--at other comparable Korean establishments. The accompanying miso soup was insipid, and the steamed dumplings were mediocre. The service also fell short of expectations--side dishes were not replenished, and the staff did not inquire if additional servings were desired. read more

*personal experience: I made a reservation for 20 people (for my wedding rehearsal). However, when we arrived, there was a huge leak in the private room, not allowing anyone to be seated there. The ceiling was leaking everywhere throughout the restaurant. So they asked us to wait for some tables to be cleared. However, no one called or mentioned about the leak when we called 20 minutes before our arrival. They made us split our group into three and sit on opposite sides of the room. The kitchen was probably leaking too and that would be a health concern. We were very unhappy that they did not mention the leak over the phone. Otherwise, we would have gone somewhere else. *personal experience: one time, while I was eating, there was something crawling on the wall next to me. I look over and there was a large brown cockroach climbing on the wall. I calmly call the server over to point at the roach, and she tried to hit it, but it fell to the ground. Then we proceeded to say it's fine and walk away. My whole appetite was gone after that. Parking: it's located in a shopping center, so there is a good number of parking spaces. However, it can get busy at times. Seating: it's not a huge restaurant, however it can fit a big group of people in the private room. Food: I like most of their menu. They have a good selection of Korean food. Price: it's not the cheapest Korean food, but it's average for Korean food. Service: overall they seem nice. However, I am still traumatized from them not telling us about the leak over the phone. They had people still eat & serve food while the entire store was leaking. There were large puddles in the restaurant and the ceiling looked like it was going to collapse. read more

we've been to this restaurant twice, and both times, the food has been absolutely delightful. Good flavors, great service, and we couldn't be happier.

I got their mackerel and thought it was great! My partner got their pork dish, it's well marinated and delicious. I highly recommend trying it. The mackerel dish is simple but well cooked. The bus boy we had was a bit rude, but overlooking that the server was fine and attentive. It doesn't seem to get too busy, so ample seating for big groups. It's a mellow vibe. I recommend coming here for a simple affordable lunch and dinner. read more

Oh man. This place has been going downhill for some time now and it's reached its destination. Rock bottom. Got take out and ate with my parents for an early dinner on Saturday. We had the jjajangmyeon and spicy tangsuyuk. JJM and TSY is one of my favorite meals. It's a winning combo. What I ate here is an abomination to Korean food. I've never had jjajangmyeon so bad. The sauce tasted okay but it had so much corn starch that it was difficult to mix into the noodles; it was clumpy. I couldn't get past the texture. Its noodles were overcooked, to boot. The tangsuyuk was battered and fried well, but the sauce was way too spicy. Not the pleasant tickle your tongue, make-your-scalp sweat type of spicy. I'm talking burn your esophagus, tongue numbing, can't-taste-anything, hyperventilate through your teeth while chugging water and say your prayers for tomorrow type of spicy. Maybe this is an isolated experience, but every time I've eaten here or gotten take out here in the last year I've been disappointed. This place used to be a go-to, not just for me, but for all centreville-ians. Now all I can say is run far away from this place and go to Jangwon. read more

Kangchon - Mapo Tofu takeout - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Came on a rainy Saturday. Wasn't too packed, but wasn't empty either, couple tables filled. The server came to get our order pretty quickly. There was a lot to order from the menu. Donkatsu was pretty average, not the worst but not the greatest. I liked the flavor of the stir fry octopus as well as the broth from the cod stew. Overall the food wasn't too bad, would probably come again to try out the other food options they have on their menu! read more

In the backside of the Centreville Square district, a basic but bustling Korean restaurant sits! You sort of have to ask for things and be initiative but that's how most Korean restaurants are ~ The wait time for the food is pretty quick and the portions are above the norm! Taste wise - nothing out of the ordinary - just a good place to pop by when hungry and craving for black bean noodles or spicy sweet chicken! Sides are very minimal and basic~ Overall 6.5/10; would come bc the location is close and decent food comes out quick! read more

I like kangchon because they are consistent with the taste of their food. They have pretty good staff. It's a typical Korean restaurant, nothing fancy. Note. They add tip on 4 or more people. read more

WHERE IS MY FOOD?? First time I came here, I was pleased and satisfied with their food. Now I come back here and my food is DELAYED?? Usually the food comes out on time. I had to wait 17 minutes exactly for my damn food. Who's idea was to give me my food so late?? I get it, its a stormy, busy Saturday. But like, if their busy is usually like this then why all of the sudden do bad? Someone please answer my question. UPDATE: Now the table is completely done being served. Its very usual for kangchon getting customers every Sunday afternoon. But its Saturday, no difference. read more

The food is great when the owner is working in the kitchen, but when not, it's average. The service is consistently good, though.

I generally like this place but I ordered the nakji bokkeum (spicy octopus stir fry) and it was $30!!! It looked good from the pictures but when I got it, I noticed a lot of noodles but minimal pieces of octopus. They were small af too and I felt like I got ripped off. I know in the picture, it looks half eaten. because it was, but do u even see any pieces of octopus?!????!! We need less noodles more octopus please!!! Normally I wouldn't complain but for $30? Come on man. #DoBetter They probably made at least $25 profit off this dish smh read more

Kangchon - Nah fam this ain't it - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

If you can't decide what kind of Korean food you want to eat, this restaurant might be an option for you. They sell all kinds of Korean food (from Korean-Chinese to Korean street food). Their dishes have rich flavor and delicious in spite of their are not a one type of specialty Korean food restaurant (e.g: BBQ, noodles, Beef bone soup or Korean-Chinese food only restaurant). Servers are attentive and friendly (and experienced). Particularly if you have a large group to eat Korean food, this might be a good restaurant (spacious). Among Koreans in Centerville, Fairfax, Chantilly or other near areas, this is one of the restaurants to go meet their friends and have lunch or dinner. It is not a fancy nor a cheap Korean restaurant. So people love to go there to have a casual dining with their friends or family. Here are tips: Food: Average Service: attentive and friendly Ambiance: just okay but not romantic or luxurious Parking: Plenty (sometimes tour buses park there) read more

Overall, I thought the food was pretty average korean/chinese food. It did not really "wow" me, but I would probably come back here for a quick korean food fix. The food I ordered was at a relatively cheap price. I ordered a bowl of spicy seafood soup for 8.99 and the portion was massive!! You definitely get your bang for your buck! Service was okay, they did what they needed to do, which was take our order and give our checks. Throughout the dinner, there were no refills for water. read more

Jajangmyun was not that good. Friend ordered soonduboo - there wasn't much flavor at all. Jjambong was pretty good. Overall - for a group of 14 that dined here, I'd say that not a single person walked out of the restaurant thinking, wow that was delicious! Everything was mediocre at best. Probably won't return. read more

Mandatory 20% tip for party of 4 or more. They should advise before not when they bring the bill. Lots of upset customers that'll boycott this restaurant! No need to change this policy,I ll just take my business somewhere else!! read more

Service is good, food is very good. This is my family's go-to place for jambong (noodle soup with seafood), and Tonkatsu. Always consistent. The only downside is they automatically add an 18% tip to the bill (like many seem to do nowadays), but the service is always fast and attentive, IMO they earn the tip. read more

Located in the corner, in front of Lotte, facing Rt29. Offers a variety of Korean and Chinese dishes. The (#24) Bulgogi Bokeum for two, was able to feed three people. For the Tang Su Yuk (sweet & sour pork), we ordered the sauce on the side so that the pork doesn't get too soft over the course of your meal. To start off, you get the small Korean side dishes and a free large bowl of mussel soup for the table (my friend said the mussel is available on weekdays only). Best dish of all. Overall, it was a really good meal. Would come back. read more

We eat here often (at least once a month) because we find the food enjoyable with big portions. That is why I'm leaving a two star review instead of one. That being said, we will stop coming here from now on. I did a take out order of one jjamppong, one samsun jjamppong, two jajangmyun, and one large beef tangsuyuk. Brought it back for consumption, and in the samsun jjamppong was a piece of plastic tag, which my mom almost choked on. Not cool. I would have been okay waiting another few minutes than paying for subpar food. Very sad, but come 2020, we will be looking elsewhere for our jjamppong and jajangmyun. --- . ... 5-6 . ... . read more

Came here a few times and it's been interesting experiences. The food is good, but when given the bill, I was asked to "change" the tip, even though I had put 18%. Not sure if it's because I had my remaining food to-go'd, but the lady kept pointing at the tip portion which threw me off. Happened twice and I am over it. read more

Nothing to brag on. I have had better . Look like everyone wants to open a restaurant , with no experience cooks . I ask about an item and was told that's just the way we get it from the company . Oh wow so it's not made here .. You order it and charge me 3 times the price , then it's false advertising , your menu say freshly made . read more

You can't go wrong with beef bulgogi! Everything was delicious! Highly recommend. Best Korean food in the area!

Honestly, the food is OK, but the service that we got was so bad when ordering takeout that we were completely turned off from giving this place any more business. We used to come in from time to time to dine-in, but my gosh are they so rude and stingy when you order to-go... We ordered over $150 worth of carry out food ranging from fried rice, jjajangmyun and tangsooyook. I called and asked them for extra banchan since we ordered so much food and the lady said she would. When we got there and inspected our order, we saw they only gave us 3 small tins of pickled radish so we of course asked for kimchi. Like come on... we're Koreans and we need kimchi to eat greasy food. The danmuji just don't hit the same as kimchi (even if the kimchi is not that good, you can't compare those two). The lady straight up lied to our face and said we had to pay for the kimchi banchan. Are you kidding me?! You're telling me that all the tables in the restaurant (that all had kimchi btw) all paid for the measly side of kimchi? When we dined in, they always served kimchi as a banchan with no notice of us having to pay for it. Either you're lying about all customers paying for kimchi, or you're secretly billing the tables for kimchi. Either or are both terrible business practices. This is not how you retain customers and grow your business. Thinking that you're saving money and being more profitable by lying to your paying customers and skimping out on banchan is a straight up delusion. Anyways... if you want lackluster service, love dusty plants and windows as your aesthetic, and supporting stingy/lying business owners & employees, this place is perfect! read more

I found this place on yelp when looking for a place to eat Namgmyeon ( korean cold noodles!). I realized i had never been here despite coming to this area all the time to eat at other places but because of all-the good reviews I decided to come check it out with friends. As soon as we entered we were greeted by a smile and it was a very spacious place. We all got the cold noodles and it was so good! Especially on a hot summer day this dish is a must have. I loved the atmosphere and the customer service so I do plan on coming back here again! read more

Service sucks! They sat us in the back and I wanted to sit at a table closer to the front. Waited for someone to take our order, even pressed the bell three times. Two other tables who sat after us got their order taken before us. We gave them one last chance. If it wasn't for the fact that we just wanted a simple dinner before going home, we would of walked out. Customer service is poor here. read more

Came here with two people. Customer service was good but I didn't like that she kind of got upset when I asked her to clear the table with the extra sides we weren't eating. The steam dumplings were just okay. Pork and Veggies dumplings were very bland for our taste. However the size of the dumplings were a decent size. Sam Sun Ja Jang was good but felt like it could have been a little more flavorful. Even though I love onions this meal had too much onions it felt like it was a majority of the meal. The noodles were my fave part of the meal! They were thick and tasted home made. My friend ordered the Kimchi Jjigae. He said the pork was very good as well as the tofu. It doesn't come with noodles or rice so he had to ask for rice on the side. The noodles for the Ja Jang Myun was good but my bf had better. read more

There are so many new places for me to try in Centerville so I landed here. It smelled delicious outside the building so I knew I was right where I needed to be. My first time trying Korean food so I went with a spicy squid dish. My sister had a beef stir fry. We both LOVED the food. I could tell it was super fresh and the portions are very generous. I was confused about the cold little side dishes they brought us before the food came out. I didn't know exactly how to eat them lol but that's just me being inexperienced with the cuisine. We did try them but it really wasn't our cup of tea. I can't wait to come back to try their popular noodle dish! read more

This place is a pretty solid Korean-Chinese restaurant. I haven't had Korean-Chinese cuisine since I moved back to VA from South Korea, and quite honestly, this place did not disappoint. Was it exactly the same as eating in South Korea? Of course not. But it did its job and satisfied my cravings on a rainy Friday night. The dishes are relatively large so fortunately I came with three other people and we basically just ordered family style. The food came out fast and my tastebuds would give the food a 4 out of 5 stars. Tip: If you order the fried pork, just ask for the sauce in the side so it doesn't get soggy. read more

Right in front of Lotte! I mainly like this restaurant because of their versatility. They serve a variety of Korean dishes and sometimes that's good for customers wanting to expand their options. They're not the best when it comes to specializing in a dish, but everything is pretty decent based on my experiences here. Parking can be hard to grab on weekend nights so keep that in mind! It was dinner time and I haven't eaten anything, so I was ready to eat a whale. I actually ordered two things: sam sun Jjamppong and broiled mackerel. The jjamppong was executed nicely with the level of spice. I personally like it very spicy but it still had a nice kick to while maintaining that flavor in the broth. It came with some seafoods like shrimp, squid, and mussel. My first bite of the broiled mackerel made me nod in approval...so good. Some people may not like it because it's a bit oily, but I thought that's what made the fish flavorful with the right texture. I recommend paying this place a visit before or after you shop at Lotte! read more
