We visited Laku on a Friday night. Service was great. We didn't have to wait. The food is amazing with a big portion for a group of 4. We will definitely come back. read more

Our first time here and it was a top tier experience. Our servers Casie and Rich and the chef Sonny were absolutely fantastic and made our visit a memorable one. This was the first time my husband and I left the house for a date night since our son was born just two weeks ago and our evening couldn't have been better spent. The food and service exceeded expectations at every turn. The vibe and cleanliness were also 10/10. We will definitely be returning and bringing friends and family next time! read more

Laku - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

Great spot for sushi and Korean BBQ! The meat is high quality, the sushi is fresh, and the banchan (complimentary side dishes) offer excellent quality and variety. The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated, with friendly service. My only critique: I wish they offered the garlic soy dipping sauce that Honey Pig serves! read more

2.5 stars: TL;DR: good service. KBBQ (3.25/5) is fine. Sushi (2/5) is below average. Kitchen apps were subpar (2.75/5). Visited this place twice: once for just sushi because there were no tables available during their grand opening weekend, and again on a weekday for dinner. The interior is nicely decorated and cute. I had the assumption that it would be an upscale KBBQ spot (comparable to Honest or Ingle), but it is more of a standard spot. Personally, the combo options (KBBQ and/or KBBQ and Sushi) were limiting in one way or the other and nothing really met all of our personally preferred types of food/limited the number of things you can select from. Our server when we got the KBBQ was great. Personable, attentive, and hustling (seemed understaffed and was manning ~6 tables alone). FOOD: ~Miso soup (3/5) and salad (4/5): got this when we ate on the sushi only side. Miso soup was standard, and the salad had a solid sesame dressing. ~Beef Tartare (2.9/5): this dish wasn't particularly to my liking personally. It noted it came with Asian/Korean pear, but the shavings were so thin that you didn't get the nice refreshing bite that I am used to. It was nice and cold, but it was lacking seasoning. Also came with chiffonade of perilla leaf, which was unexpected. ~Kimchi and squid pancake (3/5): was fine, but a little soggy. ~Sushi and sashimi set (3.5/5): got this our first visit and it was fine, but there was very limited variety of fish. Spicy salmon (?) roll was a bit mushy, and the shrimp tempura roll was okay. ~Sushi deluxe (2/5): got this during our 2nd visit and the fish just tasted off. The rice was also constantly falling apart, so made it difficult to eat. ~Shrimp tempura appetizer (2.5/5): Shrimp was overcooked and didn't taste like much. Batter was bland. ~BBQ Combo B (3/5): all the meat was cooked well thanks to our server, and the quality of meats was slightly above average. However, the the flavor was mild and the price point was too high IMO ~~The egg souffle (3/5) was a small cup of egg custard, which tasted fine, but when looking at the menu, I assumed it would be steamed egg like at normal KBBQ places. ~~Bean paste soup (3/5): modern style doenjang jjigae, spicier side with jalapenos ~~Brisket (4/5): can't go wrong with fatty brisket ~~Ribeye (4/5): it was cooked really well, but just steak ~~Seasoned prime rib (3/5): lighter marinade; fine ~~Pork belly (3/5): average ~~Pork Galbi (3/5): again, marinade was on the lighter side, but meat was tender Ultimately, the KBBQ is fine, but wish they had better combo options and stronger marinades (personal preference). Sushi is a no-go. With the plethora of KBBQ and sushi spots in NOVA, this is not a repeat spot for us. read more

Sorry I wanted to like this place but the food was not good. Some of the meats were so fatty I couldn't swallow them. And the soup was almost inedible. Only the ribeye was good. The service was friendly and efficient though... read more

We visited Laku the same month it opened because we were craving for sushi and there's not a lot of places in the area that serves quality sushi. The place was easy to find and with ample parking. The interiors look fancy but welcoming. We ordered a few nigiri sushi such as otoro, maguro, and salmon. While waiting we were served miso soup and salad. The sushi arrived after quite a while but we were given complimentary sushi for the wait which we appreciated a lot. The nigiri was fresh and cut expertly. Each piece fits in the mouth perfectly. The price of the sushi was reasonable and the service was a little slow but our server was really nice and apologetic about it. I can't wait to go back and try the Korean BBQ as well! read more

I definitely recommend getting the combo set as it's a great deal! I got the one for 2 people but it could definitely feed a 3rd person. The sashimi was pretty fresh and good. They also offered a complimentary salmon belly appetizer for first time customers. I wasn't the biggest fan of the rolls though. The ribeye and marinated short rib were delicious! All of sides and sauces were really good as well. Our waiter was fantastic and gave amazing service! I had to take home a bunch of leftovers which were the tempura, kimchi pancake, and spicy cold noodles. read more

I came on a Saturday night and there was a 30min wait. Friendly staff, quick service. The sushi quality is really good. I wish I knew wasabi was under every piece because I put a lot in my soy sauce and most bites stung my nose. I'd come back just for the sushi though. The meat quality is good but definitely pricy. It was good but nothing amazing. read more

Came here tonight with the wife and kid. Ordered the wagyu slider. Waitress says they are out. Ordered the pancake sampler. Waitress says they are out. Like what do you have?? It's freaking Wednesday and it's not busy. My wife and kid actually liked this place last time. They said the sushi was good but dang... The Korean BBQ side is a mess. read more

Food is good but the portion sizes are tiny. The only thing big is the price. Well...I suppose the restaurant itself is pretty spacious as well. We had a party of 8 and instead of seating us at one of their larger tables -- it was a busy night -- we got seated in two side by side tables for 4. The wait staff was really good at trying to cook our meats. read more

My family were having lunch at Laku and invited us to join them. So husband and I headed over. We arrived after they started eating, but the staff was so accommodating and gave us a big booth right next to my family so we could all dine together. That was such a nice touch, especially with four little ones in the group! We ordered the Beef & Sushi Combo for two. The sashimi and roll came in generous portions, and the tempura was nice and crispy. I also loved that a bowl of chilled buckwheat noodles was included at the end of the meal, such a refreshing way to finish, especially on a hot summer day. I was a little disappointed to see that several items that were originally on the menu had been crossed out because I was looking forward to trying them. But I'm glad I got to try the Chilled Acorn Jelly. It's a must-have. One small service issue: we didn't receive the steamed egg souffle until the very end of the meal, even after several reminders. That said, overall, the service was good, and I really appreciated how accommodating they were with our large family group. The meat quality was okay but nothing particularly special. So if you are looking for a place where you can try a variety of Korean dishes in one meal, Laku is definitely worth checking out. But if you are specifically looking for great Korean BBQ/meat experience, this probably wouldn't be my first choice. read more

came here with a friend to celebrate a birthday, and was pleasantly surprised on the quality of the food options. The Food: I went with the Sushi & Sashimi Combo and also split the Seared Salmon Belly and a Marinated Short Rib to give the KBB portion a try. The sushi was good! The quality was fresh and clean with generous thick slices of sashimi. The short rib was also very delicious, and the staff cooked it to perfection. The meat was super tender and very flavorful with the hint of char and sweet marinade. The Service: Service was great here. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Even on a busy dinner night, the staff were very attentive to our table. Food also came out within a reasonable amount of time. The Atmosphere: Very nicely decorated inside. They have a section for diners who only prefer to eat sushi and another section for diners to eat KBBQ. The restaurant is spacious inside and very clean. Overall, a 4/5. I'd definitely give Laku a try. The quality and amount of options here are great. read more

Visited three times already and all groups enjoyed it. Food was great - the brisket and galbi were both good quality. The combos are the best. Service was a little slow because of the soft opening and super busy; but shoutout to Rich - he's always attentive and makes sure we're taken care of! The decor/ambiance is also very pretty and love the gold dishes. We will be back again and again! read more

New restaurant that was really busy so I was looking forward to trying it out! Inside looks nice and the waiters were friendly. However, if you come definitely just stick to the meat and not the sushi. Meat has some areas where it can improve but overall was great quality. The sushi although not fishy was a miss. The price is also pretty high Spicy salmon apple martini - covered in masago sauce, really just eh. Much prettier than the taste. 3/10 Crunch rice - so bland and not good at all 2/10 Sushi and roll set for 2 - fish was not fishy but also nothing too special. Rice was not seasoned. The roll was kinda terrible, extremely bland and off tasting 3/10 Beef and pork set b? - meats are actually good quality and first three I think were very good! My friends said good but salty but I think they were just good. It went downhill with the last one which was way overly marinated/ seasoned and so heavy I couldn't finish it. Good portion size 7.5/10 read more

The restaurant was bustling with full tables. We tried the sushi/BBQ set for four. Sushi came out first, so good. Can't remember all the names of the fish, but the ones I ate just melted in my mouth. Steamed egg - SO GOOD. Too bad it o my came in a small bowl. I think I could eat a full size by myself. Beef tartare was tasty. Had better elsewhere, but definitely good compared to most places. shrimp fried rice - only had two shrimps in the dish. Not very flavorful, would pass next time. Plenty of food, so didn't finish the grilled pork. Overall food was tasty to go again. Service could have been better, but they were busy and fairly new to open, one month. Will have to try again to compare. read more

The service was really good here. The servers were very attentive, they grilled the meat to perfection! The restaurant has good ventilation so your clothes and hair don't smell like food afterward.

Overall, this would be a great place if you are looking for a new restaurant to go for a date! read more

Laku - Korean Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

My husband and I decided to have a spontaneous dinner date at Laku Korean Grill & Sushi, and it was absolutely amazing! It truly deserves a 5-star rating! We chose Combo A from their signature combo menu. The sashimi was incredibly fresh. Every single side dish was bursting with flavor. We chose beef brisket and pork galbi out of 4 options. The server inquired about our preferred meat temperature, and both were grilled to perfection. The quality of the meat was outstanding. To top it off, we had cold buckwheat noodles, which were served in a generous portion and were so refreshing. The service was top-notch. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Edward, who was very warm and welcoming. Our server, Ryan, was also friendly and exceptionally attentive. The restaurant was impressively clean overall. Upon entering, you notice it is divided into two sections. I would love to try their omakase sometime. The interior had a modern yet distinctly Korean/Japanese vibe. The ambiance was fantastic. I can't wait to go back. read more

The sushi was very fresh! Loved the 3 Amigos roll with the black fish eggs! Roll Me A Fatty roll was also great! The atmosphere was very cool, really nice inside. Staff was very friendly and helpful! They were very allergy friendly! The cold buckwheat noodle soup had a very different flavor profile. It was really good! Even gave us some tempura freebies! Would highly recommend! ***** read more

We had such an amazing experience at Laku! Everything from the food to the service was absolutely wonderful. The quality of the meat was excellent--fresh, beautifully presented, and incredibly delicious. Every dish we tried was flavorful, and you can really tell they care about the quality of their ingredients. The portion sizes were very generous, especially considering the price. I was honestly impressed by how much food we received and felt that the prices were very reasonable for both the quality and quantity. What made our experience even better was the staff. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming, attentive, and helpful throughout our meal. They made us feel comfortable and well taken care of from beginning to end. Great food, generous portions, excellent prices, and wonderful service--what more could you ask for? We left very full and very happy! Highly recommend Laku. We will definitely be coming back! read more

The interior was nice, with plenty of seating. They have some tables that don't have the grills so if you are planning to get kbbq (which they will ask) just make sure the table has the grill! Dishes we tried- crab wonton, marinated galbi (short rib), mul nangmyun (cold broth noodles). Crab wontons were delicious with real crab, and the galbi was amazing- tender and flavorful, and the nangmyun was one of the best I've tried! The cold broth is super refreshing with perfect sweetness and flavor. Would definitely come back especially for the galbi and nangmyun, and one of the servers were so kind to let us try the broth for the super spicy cold broth noodles as we were contemplating which to order- and we may get that next time too as it was also delicious (but spicy!). Also, the a la carte galbi came with steamed eggs (individually) which were also delicious,, and soybean paste soup, which were decent (but personally I wouldn't pay for if I had to order separately). All the servers were super pleasant and kind! read more

Laku opened up about a month and a half ago and is the current new spot for the centreville area. What sets Laku apart from the other kbbq places in our area is that it's also a sushi joint (and I don't mean just a small menu section for rolls). While we didn't have the sushi tonight, the kbbq was great. It's ala carte and not AYCE which means it's pricier but the meat is better quality. The truffle forest kinoko wasn't bad but I'll probably just get the oysters next time. The pork belly and marinated short rib were absolutely delicious and cooked perfectly by our waiter. The ambience is a bit loud and the layout is more open than I like but the food makes up for it. Service was great and I'll definitely be trying this place again. Maybe a pure sushi trip next time? read more

Family with a wide range of preferences checked out Laku and so glad we did. The space is a lot bigger than you expect, service is fantastic from the moment you walk in to walk out, and the food was well done! Having the option of sushi/sashimi and/or Korean does not seem like it would work but this place did it so well. I love how you can order à la carte or get a preselected combination menu, which is what we went with. There were four adults and one toddler; plenty to eat and we stuffed ourselves and still had to ask for boxes to take leftovers! Rich was super attentive and told us about how they're still in soft opening phase. By the time we left it was packed. BK also grilled our meats to perfection and even expertly packed our leftovers. I am a big neang myun fan and dare I say, this is my favorite 냉면. Hope they keep up the momentum; great service and well executed menu. read more

Laku is the newest addition of a Centreville birthed Korean restaurant but don't overlook it-- it ranks high in comparison to its competition when it comes to Korean barbecue and cuisine, alongside offering high quality sushi and sashimi as well. Also, the owner here, Chef Sonny, is the former original owner of Yuraku in Germantown MD and co-own Umai Nori. It's rare to find a local Korean restaurant that serves both equally high quality cuts of meat and seafood but here you go. The servers here are friendly and work efficiently, and the restaurant ambiance has a clean esthetic and modern vibe. I'll definitely be back again. read more

7/15/26. I came here with wife and family for lunch after hearing about it from social media. I had a mediocre experience and will explain. I called a day before to reserve for a party of 5. I gave the details very clearly on the phone on how many people, date and time. The person who answered sounded fluent in English, but made me repeat myself so many times and I would have rather not called. It is a newer business as I could still see the grand opening flowers outside. It was a weekday lunch so it was not too busy. Upon coming in, everything was clean and organized. The menu was easy to understand and we ended up ordering the combo for 4, Beef & Sushi. After ordering, our server brought side dishes and served the cold menu first including the sushi set. I thought everything was fine up to here. Then came the meats. My server did not know what type of meat he was cooking and ruined my dining experience by overcooking the meats. He would refer to the meats as just "steak" when we asked what type of meat it was. For marinated beef short rib, he said it was pork. My frustration came mainly with the cooking of the meat. My server would place the meat on the grill and immediately flip it and repeatedly flipped the meat while adjusting the flame. Almost all of the meats I ate were very tough, dry and burnt. I could hear another server giving advice and tips on using the vent or how to cook. In my head I knew the guy who answered the phone the day before was my server. It was only at the end, another server ended up cooking the pork galbi. The Laku pork galbi was the best meat I had for the whole meal. I think technique and knowledge of cooking has to be the basic if you are working at a BBQ place. The cold noodles had a good broth, but the noodles itself missed the mark. For a party of 5, the beef and sushi combo for 4 and Laku pork galbi was a good portion. If I were to come again, I would like to have a server that knew how to cook and had basic knowledge of the types of meat being cooked. I appreciated the other servers that came to help out and offered complimentary kimchi pancake and grilled fish. Overall, I came with a high expectation, but it fell short due to the main course being very disappointing. read more

Laku is amazing! I went twice in the same week on a Thursday and again on a Saturday. You know what that means? In my book, it's THAT good. I seldom visit restaurants multiple times given that I'm always in the mood to trying a new restaurant. They are in their "soft opening" phase and they have hit the nail on all aspects of their business. The customer service, food, and ambiance all have hit a home run for me. On Thursday, I opted to get sushi only. It was a peaceful meal and not crowded at all. We also got individualized attention and our meal came with edamame, salad, miso soup along with treats from the kitchen including Seared Salmon Belly-torched salmon belly, guacamole, coconut flakes. The little treats were amazing and the sushi is amazing!!! Sushi Sets +Chirashi-Assorted sashimi over seasoned sushi rice Laku Speciality Rolls +Triple Salmon Roll-spicy salmon roll, topped with salmon and another layer of spicy salmon Temaki/Hand Rolls +Triple Connection-tuna, salmon, yellow tail, massage, spicy mayo On Saturday, I'm glad that I called ahead to make a reservation. Given that it was the weekend, the restaurant was busy and could see the staff hard at work. It was like watching a real life version of the video game, Overcooked. It was especially enjoyable since one of the members of our party was tried KBBQ for the first time. The side dishes were wonderful and so were the dipping sauces. Lettuce is not automatically included but can be requested. I enjoyed showing one of the members of my party that they can make a lettuce wrap with the meat. Staff did a great job cooking for us and changing out the grills. My dad liked the pork galbi the best out of the meats though I liked them all equally. For the cold buckwheat noodles, we did the spicy version. It was too spicy for our tastebuds but the additional vinegar/mustard condiments cut the heat for us. If I ever order the Combo again, I'll opt for the non-spicy version of the naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles). Combo B +BBQ & Sushi for 3-4 persons +Sashimi & 2 Rolls +Assorted Korean Pancake +Shrimp & Vegetable Tempera +Egg Souffle & Soybean Paste Stew +Beef Brisket, Pork Galbi, Soy Marinated Chicken +Cold Buckwheat Noodles +Shrimp Fried Rice Next time I'm coming back for the Matcha Whiskey Highball. I told the Owner that he's the reason why I will gain 20lbs. this year from dining at his restaurant. read more

I've only heard about this place for 2 weeks and I've already been here 3 times! Both the meat and sushi are so fresh and tender. I got the beef and sushi combo for 2 and it was very delicious. All the side dishes were seasoned well and portion sizes were great! However, the star of the show was actually the acorn jelly! The cold slushy broth is so refreshing and has the perfect amount of savory and vinegar which I will get every time I come. It comes topped with perilla leaves which I ABSOLUTELY LOVE. If I did have a complaint, I would say there was SO much food! The combo for 2 would have easily fed 3 or 4. We didn't get to finish the nengmyeon but I was already satisfied and very very full. Edward, the manager, is so nice and he gets very involved from hosting to running food and talking to each table to make sure everyone was satisfied! My servers, Matt and Casie were very attentive and happy to help. They are so friendly and cooked our meats to PERFECTION! The interior is also very bright which made the colors of the sushi and meat stand out to show how fresh they were. It's very clean inside and the banchan get set right after you sit down. They are still pretty new so they are working out the kinks, but soon they'll have a cocktail menu which I'm looking forward to and hopefully some desserts! The food looked so good I kept forgetting to take a picture before digging in but managed to remember to take some haha. This restaurant will be added to my weekly rotation of cravings and I will keep coming back!! read more

Having lunch at this popular Korean restaurant was excellent. Their BBQ was so good last time that we decided to try their non-BBQ menu items, which were just as enjoyable. The service was fantastic--with an attentive server who brought out all the side dishes to set the table first, politely answered our questions about the food, and ensured our meals arrived quickly. Staff periodically checked on us to see if we needed anything else. The atmosphere is very clean and inviting, with welcoming decor. Our lunch was excellent, and we recommend the following dishes: - Chilled Acorn Jelly: a well-loved, popular Korean summer dish served in a refreshing, savory broth with chilled acorn jelly and crisp vegetables. Refreshing, smooth, and jiggly, it has a mild, earthy, nutty flavor, and the broth combines all the ingredients very well. - Sushi & Sashimi Set for two: includes 30 pieces of sashimi, 12 pieces of nigiri, and 2 specialty rolls. All are very fresh and literally melt in the mouth. More than enough for two. - Assorted tempura: Japanese-style shrimp and seasonal vegetables in a light batter. Paired well with a savory and tangy dipping sauce. - Hamachi Kama, grilled yellowtail collar, was rich, buttery, and lightly salted, with a flaky and tender interior and a crispy exterior. It was complimentary and highly appreciated as an extra service. read more

I really like the set up here. Surprisingly I like that the BBQ is not all you can eat. There are so many delicious items on the menu that you can order menu items and have BBQ too. The bulgogi tacos are delicious, we enjoyed sushi and lots of complimentary sides with the BBQ. Service was excellent. I forgot that they close at 2:30 to set up for dinner and they were so kind to seat us at 2:15 and we were able to stay until finished. I will definitely go again. read more

Went for my wife's birthday. It was delicious We definitely will go back. we had the traditional barbecue meat and sushi. The sushi to me was the highlight. It was fresh and tasty. Instead of a birthday cake they gave us a free order of sushi at the end. That was a pleasant surprise. read more

Since I knew Sony Chef was from Yuraku, I already expected the sushi to be good, so we only tried the sushi and sashimi at first. They kindly served us muksabal (cold acorn jelly soup) on the house, and the seasoning was so delicious that it immediately made me think, "Wow, their Korean food must be great too." It's hard to find Korean restaurants in Virginia that truly satisfy that authentic Korean restaurant craving. We sometimes even drive to New Jersey just for Korean food. This restaurant fills that gap perfectly. I highly recommend the grilled pork ribs (dwaeji galbi), naengmyeon, and assorted Korean pancakes (modeum jeon). My mother-in-law especially loved the food and said it tasted exactly like the dishes she used to enjoy in Busan years ago. We will definitely be coming back! I wish I am rich to come back every weekend. I am so glad that I live around here too. read more

Food overall was really excellent! From banchan, sushi and Kbbq, everything was very flavorful and to the point. Pork jowl came in two large pieces with some peppers and cooked to nice crispness. Brisket was tender and pork rib was marinated with just the right amount of seasoning. Their egg jjim was served in single serve cups and soft as a cloud. Our served server surprised us with some complimentary salmon belly sushi which was served with flames at the table. Superb presentation! Only drawback which I think can be improved is staff education in service etiquette. Staff clearing tables can be more attentive to clear dishes without so much noise. Staff can keep conversations with each other at a minimum and keep their water bottles out of sight from customers view. read more

Went there twice... biggest issue how disorganized the place is... to the point where it's distracting your dining experience. I ordered one of the sets that came with a lot of different options. First lady took my order on a piece of paper, and then 5 minutes later, another lady came with a tablet to take our order and confirm what was written. I had to chase down two items that I never received multiple times. I sent back the cold buckwheat noodle dish because the noodles were undercooked... The food was really really good. That was the saving grace for our outing. I actually went back the next day to try their sushi. Hostess said that I had to wait... I'm watching the sushi area with 4 tables that have not been bussed... I don't see a single server helping anyone in that area... basically, 15 minutes of watching all that and not a single table getting cleared... I left. Yes they're new... but that's not a great excuse, it seemed like they're no manager in charge and people are just scrambling around. Don't go with expectations for good... or even good enough service... it will be bad, but the food is good. Maybe go early when it's not that busy. read more
