"In every bite of Korean food, there's a taste of history and culture in every plate you order me and my family love coming in there so friendly and have great proportion sizes, will be coming back

Bi bim bap hot pot and kimchi
Mae P.

First time at the new place. It is smaller, has better lighting. They still have bi bim bap hotpot!!!! Yummy!! Food was better than I remembered. We also got shrimp fried rice and beef bulgogi (we were hungry). Food came with rice and four kimchi sides. Food is made fresh. My husband cannot stop talking about how good the food was and he usually doesn't like Korean. He will go back for the bulgogi and fried rice and so will I. Digital ordering is available for eat in or take out. The chef/eomma waited in our table (we were the first customers).

Chicken Bok Um

Food is always excellent and the owner, Sun Yong, is just the sweetest person. I miss the quaintness of the old location but the new location is definitely better from a dining standpoint. The food here feels most like home cooking of any Korean place I've been too so I definitely recommend checking it out.

Same folks that used to be on Rt. 1, and the food is STILL DELICIOUS! Their menu has not changed, and neither has the friendly atmosphere.

Not a very good experience. Strip mall Korean place that where you didn't want to look around to see how dirty things were.

Took an extended walk a few weeks ago to check this place out before getting groceries, as it's…read moresupposedly some of the best Thai in South Arlington and had to verify that. Was seated by a delightful young lady, and found the decor and layout to be quite pleasing; modest by elegant. As for the fare, it was indeed quite worth the walk. Ordered a bowl of Tom Yum and the Pad Thai Mun Goong. The Tom Yum was solid and quite flavorful, a flux of tangy lemongrass with the oniony sweetness of steeped scallions, and enoki mushrooms to provide some heartiness. The Pad Thai Mun Goong was a chef specialty pad Thai made with stir fried rice noodle, prawns shrimp tomalley oil (a crucial element for this version), egg and bean sprouts, naturally topped with green onions, peanuts and a lime for squeezing, and this also was quite phenomenal. Savory, sweet, a little tingle of sourness from the citrus in the mid-palate, and the juicy, briny shrimp balancing the dense carbs and rich flavorful sauce. All-in-all, I was well pleased this visit. As this is Padaek's second location, I hope they don't expand too much further/quickly and compromise on quality.

Absolutely delicious! Was looking for a restaurant for Friday evening and stumbled upon Padaek…read more Made a reservation for 8:15pm. We walked in and the restaurant was lively. They had a band and singers and folks were up dancing. We found out this is an annual thing and not something regular. We didn't realized they closed at 9pm so felt a little rushed. My friend and I shared the Pad See Ew with beef and the Pla Makham. Both dishes were so good and packed with flavor. We saw some good looking dishes being delivered to other tables and can't wait to return to try them.

Love that they have so many spice levels to choose from. I asked for the medium level and honestly it could be considered spicy to some. So if you're sensitive maybe go one lower than you think. The flavor is more than just spice though. The chicken is really well cooked and battered. The outside was crispy even with sauce all over. Also the fried okra was a sleeper agent, it was so addicting we all kept reaching for it. I'm personally not the biggest fan of waffle fries but these were cooked great. Great place to swing by and grab some fried chicken

Wooboi! New fan of their hot, spicy, juicy fried chicken. Not as crispy-crunchy as my all-time fave…read moreRoaming Rooster, but that's OK: I'm here to test out their spice levels. For context, I regularly enjoy spicy food: always top my pizza with crushed red pepper flakes, eat deli sandwiches with a layer of pickled jalapeños or banana peppers, and generally order medium-to-spicy levels for Thai, Chinese, and other cuisines. But I'm not one of those ghost pepper extremists, so I hesitated to try Wooboi's Code Red or Blue on my first visit and ordered Level 3 (Hot). Let me be clear: Level 3 is spicy, but I was proud of myself and ate the whole thing with no drama. It's got a little delayed effect and will make your tummy feel warm the rest of the day. Overall, a delicious spicy sandwich I'd make another trip to Alexandria for. I will be brave and try Code Red next. Tip: If you're going to go spicy, order cold bottled water (maybe 2) and the banana pudding - the dairy helped in between particularly spicy bites. Wish they served milk or milkshakes!

Nasime Japanese Restaurant - SEARED JAPANESE WAGYU SHOrT RIB W/ TrUFFle SHOYU

Nasime offers a thoughtfully curated 7-course tasting menu that goes far beyond a traditional sushi…read moreexperience. It's a delicious journey through different forms of Japanese cuisine, from raw dishes to grilled, fried, and even a comforting soup course. The setting is intimate, with just a few seats per seating, which makes the experience feel personal and unrushed. Each dish is introduced with care, offering insight into the ingredients and preparation and adding an extra layer of appreciation to the meal. We opted for the sake pairing, which complemented the courses beautifully. Standout dishes for us were the sashimi and the wagyu beef, both incredibly fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. That said, every course was truly delicious. Nasime is a wonderful spot for a thoughtful, peaceful dinner and an especially great choice for a date night. Reservations are required through Resy, and I definitely recommend coming hungry--you'll want to enjoy every course.

To explain my review, I am most influenced by how much I enjoyed the food. It's only fair to note…read morethe menu rotates and I received a serving that I would not personally enjoy. Perhaps it was being a patron during the winter when freshness is limited. Each dish we ate I rank below: 1) poached egg w/ blue crab dashi ankake (5/10) - the egg was cold and cooled the soup once the yolk was pierced which took away from the experience for me. The crab was good and it was supplemented by this corn-like kernel that was bitter and complemented the soup well. 2) seared wagyu with truffle shoyu (8/10) - seems to be a staple. Delicious. Wish there was more truffle since some pieces weren't as covered. Slightly cold but didn't take away from the experience. 3) otsukuri (sashimi) (8.5/10) - wish this was the majority of the meal. This was the part enjoyed most. A wide variety of fish. I would've enjoyed this more if it was not all served at once. 4) spanish octopus agedashi (8/10) - very delicious though the octopus pieces were very big and some too fatty. ' 5) prime fillet mignon w/ haccho miso graze (9/10) - amazing!! our favourite dish. served on a bed of eggplant and mozz cheese. The steak was perfectly cooked. 6) maple leaf duck noodle soup (3/10) - did not enjoy this dish. The broth was not savoury and the duck was far too gamey and fatty. Fortunately, we were stuffed so didn't eat this one. 7) housemade strawberry japanese fro yo (8/10) - refreshing and delicious Cocktails - 7/10 - very limited menu. We had one of the signature cocktails and a whisky. They were both light but lacked complexity. Most of the flavour was given way by the yuzu. Atmosphere - this is where the restaurant shines and I'd recommend going for a special date. It's a very intimate setting. About 10 people can be seated every time, and I believe there are two seatings each evening (6pm and 8:30pm). You are not rushed. We had the 8:30pm seating and lingered for almost 3 hours. It was an excellent environment conducive to conversation. We sat at the bar and saw the one-man show, the chef, prepare all the food. He had a haughty energy, very focused, and unsmiling. He gave the aura of a trained culinary genius. This was nicely contrasted with the one server, a charming and smiling individual. The place is not fancy - I do think it could've been nicer - but I believe it is the most authentic Japanese restaurant you'll find in all the DMV. I would highly recommend to everyone interested in fine Japanese cuisine.

When I arrived to pick up, there was a woman helping hand out orders. I told her my name, she hesitated, looked through order bags on shelf, found a bag and handed it to me. When I got back home and my son opened it up, he discovered it wasn't our order. Even the name on the bag was wrong. The only thing close was the persons name on the order was the same first letter as mine. Ugh, I had already driven an hour to get home and was disappointed in myself for being in a rush since late work day and another hour to get food home, that I didn't at least checking the name on the order - let alone the contents like I normally do. I reluctantly called the store to report I was given the wrong order, afraid it would be difficult to find a way to refund since I wasn't going to drive an hour back to store. As luck would have it, I spoke with Roberto. He was very apologetic and offered to redo my order and I could pick up again in the future. He gave me his number so that I could give him a heads up when it would be convenient to stop by and he would have it ready. Two days later I texted him and he had it ready for my son to pick up when he was in the area again. Was such a relief for it to work out this smoothly to correct a mistake. Although the order pickup was unfortunate - the resolution and accommodation to correct completely minimized the inconvenience. Thank you Roberto! I won't hesitate to order from there again - the food was cooked great!

I received my order promptly and it was accurate, but unfortunately it did not taste good. This was my first time at this location. I am hopeful that this was just a bad batch.
