    Holic Wings
    Steven T.

    To celebrate a friend's birthday, we went to a popular Korean street food restaurant. They have all your standard street foods from noodles, to wings to rice cakes. We were starving and ordered a variety of dishes. We thought everything was done very well! All the fried food was crispy and the Toppoki had a rich (and spicy!) sauce that was a good dipping sauce for the fried things. Our favorite items were the rose Toppoki and tempura. Great spot when you want any of the classic street foods. Entrees: Rose Toppoki, Holic Wings, Cold Noodles and Holic Sampler (Tempura, Kimbap, Fried Dumplings, Toppoki and Sundae Blood Sausage)

    Donkatsu kimbap and bulgogi kimbap

    This is a solid spot for affordable Korean comfort food. I've been going here for several years but just recently visited after they redecorated. It has a trendier, more intimate vibe, but still casual enough to just sit down and chat. The service was really good, super polite and friendly, and the food came fairly quickly. I usually come here for the tteokbokki (my favorite is the bulgogi flavor), but I'm glad I decided to mix it up with the kimbap! The filling tasted fresh and the donkatsu was satisfyingly crispy. I definitely recommend coming here if you have a craving for Korean food with a casual vibe.

    I was craving tteukbokki and decided to give RedHolic a try. The food was great, service was amazing and food came out so fast! Definitely had that hole in the wall feel since it's on the basement level of the building. Sampler platter was great!! Will definitely be coming back

    Finally got to check out this Korean snack spot or 분식집 I've been eyeing and it exceeded all expectations. Portions were huge we ate a ton and still had leftovers. Loved that almost everything on the sampler tasted homemade. Definitely coming back to try more so go show them some love if you're in the area!

    The food here is amazing! Definetly tastes home cooked. This is Korean street food and has plenty of options. We got the toppoki and kimbap and also the jjampong ramen. The were both very flavorful and comes with banchan. The only reason I am not giving it a full 5 stars is because the service was a bit slow, but did not make the experience any less enjoyable. We will definetly be visiting here again

    I'm obsessed! 10/10! Service was great and the food is spectacular. The chicken is crispy but incredibly juicy. Great flavors.I will be back.

    Had the spicy tteokbokki and soondae--flavors were and comforting. Portion sizes are solid, food came out fresh and hot. Vibe's cozy and staff were friendly enough, though it gets a little hectic during busy times. Good spot for authentic Korean street food in Annandale--worth the visit.

    Loved the soondae and fried mandu! The set menu was huge and lets you sample the best items - great deal. Service was fast and staff was polite. The restaurant looks like a popular local spot that only people around the area know.

    Soondae and tteokboki
    Rachel K.

    Came here for lunch! Service was fast but the restaurant filled up for the lunch rush quickly. The star of the show was the soondae for me and my friend. It was meatier than others I've had at similar Korean restaurants. I would definitely get it again. Tteokboki was also good. Not too sweet. Strong rich flavor. But the egg yolk was crumbly and seemed old- like it was made yesterday. Jolmyun wasn't my favorite. Tasted too vinegary. And reminded me of the instant noodle jolmyun packs you can buy at Hmart. Lastly, mini kimbap was good too! The perfect appetizer. Mustard sauce is pungent but delicious

    Toppoki, Kimbap & Soondae Set
    Clara S.

    We got the set menu and modeum oden. They were both great-- the ddeokbokki was perfectly sweet and spicy, the soondae and gimbap were flavorful, and the oden soup was yummy. Service was good-- everyone was nice. The ambiance was very casual-- great to go with friends or family!

    I have recently been on a Korean Fried Chicken kick and this place does it DELICIOUSLY! It's crunchy, juicy, and tasty with the different spices and sauces to choose from. Definitely recommend coming here with a group of people -- everything is shareable and I now want to try their other dishes next for more, follow @mealwithmj on Instagram!

    Came here on a week day since I've always wondered what this place was like. Overall the restaurant was clean and well taken care of. I was also happy to find that the bathroom was very clean, which you don't always find. Unlike some of the other reviewers I didn't grow up in Korea so I can't judge whether the food was authentic, however I thought what I ordered was decent. I ordered the fried chicken gizzard which came with two sauces. Compared to other places I would say it's about equivalent. I plan on going back to try out some of the other items this place is more well known for.

    Holic Sampler
    Ailun H.

    I'm giving Red Holic a 5/5 because the food is sincerely really good and the pricing is more than fair. However, beware of the service because it's not great. If you look beyond the service and focus on the food and price, you'll have a great time. Red Holic is the hole-in-the-wall, Korean street food galore of Annandale. My Korean friends love coming here to get their comfort foods. This place had all the bunsik I was craving and they have sampler combos & sets so you can get a bit of everything - definitely would recommend family styling here. HOLIC SAMPLER - 28.99 If you are here with a group, you should probably get this to get a taste of all the popular bunsiks. This comes with tteokbokki, tempera (onions, veggies, other stuff too), regular kimbap, soondae, and mandu. The tteokbokki was SPICY with some sweetness and so good. The rice cake soaked up the sauce well and there were some kimchi (?) in there. I wish they had fishcakes in it, but oh well. The tempera was a hit-or-miss for our group since we weren't a fan of all the vegetable options (and there were lots of tempera). The kimbap was tasty and I would definitely want to try their other kimbaps upon future return. The soondae fell apart easily, but it tasted pretty good. The mandu was SO CRISPY, HOT, AND DELICIOUS. I try to avoid fried foods in general, but I couldn't say no to that mandu. It had the crispiest skin and the flavors (aka oil) oozed in my mouth with the filling of the mandu. Wow, so good. MAN DDUCK - 16.99 Our group really enjoyed the perfectly fried mandus and tteokbokki, so we got another set with it. The portions were big and definitely worth the price! SOY SAUCE CHICKEN - 25.99 For a restaurant that isn't a KFC restaurant, the soy sauce KFC here was so good. The skin was again, perfectly fried and extremely crispy. The glaze was sweet and savory. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised how good the chicken was. I'd highly recommend this if you like chicken. Overall, the food here is phenomenal. This is the place to go in Annandale if you want to satisfy your Korean comfort food cravings. Our group was very happy and full after. In the future, I'd probably get more of the kimbap and soondae next time if I want to avoid fried foods.

    Spicy ramen!  So good.

    The food is very spicy which is great. Sometimes the food is a little too salty... If you like spicy food this is the place to go.

They had different genres of music playing. Careless Whisper was playing during my visit. I love that song! They cook to order so that's always a good sign.

We got two 3 tender meal combo (fries & drink) and a slaw. It took about 10 minutes to get our food but it's made to order. They kitchen/cooking/prep area is open so you can see them make it! Breading and frying the chicken & fries. Hot and fresh. They also check the temp of tenders for doneness. They dip the chicken, then they dust it. Comes with their Crimson sauce as well as ranch. The chicken was hot & juicy. The hot was spicy. Fries were hot and crispy. Ranch was good. Sauce was good. Only negatives were the pickles could have been thicker cut and fresher as well as the slaw. Slaw was vinegar based and wilted. Crunch & crispiness wasn't present. Food was on par with Daves and Canes. Maybe better in quality and price. I wished slaw came with meal. They played country music over the speakers so that's a big plus for me. Is it as good as Dave's or Cane's? My son says yes. I say maybe?

Their classic steak and cheese is delicious, but I love the steak and mushroom. You can 'edit' the sub any way you like, light lettuce, extra tomato, double meat : whatever you want, you got it! The bread always tastes fresh and the meat is packed in full. The sub is delicious eaten right away, but also still good an hour later or air fried for lunch the next day. You can get their sub combo for $14 which comes with fries (or UTZ chips) and a drink of choice, plus a pickle stick. Service: 5/5 : the owner (i think) is always there and super friendly; recently i had ordered a pick up order but their delivery driver mistakenly took it; he called her to come back right away and offered me a complimentary drink for the trouble.

The inside isn't much to write about, a typical sports bar but extremely clean. But let's get into the goods! Our waitress was this small in stature Hispanic lady. I unfortunately can't remember her name but she was so sweet and attentive! We got there right as their happy hour deal was ending and she asked the manager if we could put one order of drinks in and still receive the deal. She also brought a sample basket of the appetizers to our table since we were first timers. A restaurant that knows how to treat their customers! The basket came with their boneless, traditional wings, pretzels, and Mac and cheese bites. The pretzel bites?! Fresh and perfectly soft inside but crunchy outside. And I normally hate pretzels because they can be dry. Same story with the Mac and cheese bites. Every bite of the basket grew my excitement for our main course. Every single item was delicious!! We literally paused after the first samples in genuine happiness. For national wings day, they had a $16 endless jumbo wings deal. We added endless fries which was an extra $3. We got the traditional and dry rub wings. They have a variety of sauces. For the dry rub, the put the sauce on the side and the traditional is mixed with the sauce. The dry rub by itself, sans sauce, is stellar. I honestly could've kept eating it just as is. The traditional was also really good but there's just something about the dry rub. The sauces we tried were all really good but I wasn't a fan of the teriyaki. By the end of the night, our bellies were overly full and ready to combust but truly some of the best wings and customer service I've had. Afterwards, we had to go for a walk in the parking lot to try and walk off some of the food. I will forever give praise to this restaurant. I came in not expecting much but was genuinely blown away. And also want to shout out the lovely black woman who brought out our food and assisted our waitress. Stellar service and food all around.

I'm thinking that many people who come here know already what they want, because even before we cracked open our menus, the server was immediately at our table expecting us to place our order. When we told her we weren't ready yet, she left, but came back less than a minute later and then stood there waiting for us to place our order. So I ordered the Sullangtang, which is bone broth with brisket and noodles. JP ordered the Yukgaejang, a spicy red broth with veggies and flank steak. We also ordered the fried dumplings. I don't know if the fried dumplings were vegetable or pork, but they were very good, made even better with a delicious dipping sauce. As hoped, banchan was served with our meal, but was just cubes of daikon radish (kkakdugi) and kimchi. The kkakdugi and kimchi were fresh and tasty. Even if the Sullantang recipe is traditional, I was disappointed. The broth was thin and very bland. However, I was able to jazz it up and make it into a pretty good soup by adding spoonfuls of the Yukgaejang broth and the fried dumpling sauce, plus salt and pepper. The Yukgaejang, topped with crispy noodles, was the better of the two soups. It had a lively flavor and as billed on the menu, was indeed spicy. The menu is limited, almost exclusively vegetable and beef dishes, but there is a seafood pancake and whelk (mollusk) dish. No chicken or pork dishes. Overall, our experience was decent and we would certainly consider returning. Shin Chon has plenty of off-street parking.
