I had less than 3 mins before my parking was up so I ran in and asked the barista what the quickest drink was with the most caffeine. She made me a cold brew with their vanilla cold foam that was absolutely fantastic. I got my afternoon pick me up as well as got to try a new coffee spot, and I didn't have to pay for parking as well, so all around a great experience.

Semicolon is a great spot for Korean coffee! This was our second visit and it doesn't dissapoint. We got the tiramisu lattes again, and pro tip: you can ask for less sweet, which we didn't know the first time around and definitely recommend if you're not a fan of overly sweet drinks. Their Korean style sandwiches on that soft, fluffy bread are amazing. Highly recommend the bulgogi and the BLT, both packed with flavor and generously stuffed. The presentation is adorable too, served in these cute little boxes that make it feel extra special. The space itself has a really cute, modern aesthetic. Clean white tones, nice lighting, and a cozy chic vibe. It's the perfect spot to hang out with friends or get some work done. Will definitely be back again!

Biscoff latte
Manal C.

A lovely spot! It was extremely spacious and the staff were so friendly! They had a power outage when I got there, which wasn't their fault at all, the staff handled it really well and let me hang out and get work done at the shop until they got power back and I was able to place my order. The biscoff latte was delicious and the cream topping was to die for!! I'll definitely be back to try their famous egg sandwiches!

HIBISCUS ADE Seltzer Water, Lemon Juice, Lemon Slice, Mint

I stopped this cafe because I happened to be in the area and after seeing someone post one of the sandwiches they bought from this place I've been obsessed with trying it. First things first, parking. The stores have a parking garage that requires you to pay within 15-20 minutes I believe. I met a friend at another restaurant that validated but even if they didn't. Prices were pretty reasonable. When I first entered, the place was bright, clean, pretty immaculate. Everyone was either working or conversing with friends at various tables. In line with a cafe vibe. It was my first time there so I wasn't aware that you can simply order at the kiosks by the entrance. But the server was very friendly and was happy to provide input on the menu. But since I wanted to peruse the menu a bit more, I figured the kiosk was the best way to check out other items on the menu besides the sandwich that I knew I wanted. I ordered the hibiscus lemonade and the bulgogi egg sandwich to go. The sandwich was flavorful, the eggs were fluffy, the bread was soft and the sauce brought everything together. I could see why it was one of their best selling items. The hibiscus lemonade was delicious as well, though I'm interested in trying other drinks on the menu such as their smoothies. All in all I would definitely return and probably end up getting the same sandwich.

BELT, LOX, HAM
Bruce K.

I have been here a couple of times now, and I have to say every time that I came here the sandwiches are amazing. I've had different kinds, the bulgogi and the lox and they were all amazing. I got to also try the BELT as well and as it's so simple I thought you really can't go wrong going down that path. The service was pretty much self serve, even down to the ordering. There's 3 tablets where you can just order your food, and after that they'll let you know when your order is up. There's plenty of parking (and they validate) and seating. Inside is an your usual industrial/modern type of cafe. Semicolon is great though for drinks and also the sandwiches, but I can definitely vouch for the sandos. If you're not here for that, then I would definitely recommend you to add that to the list.

Bulgogi sandwich
Theertha D.

Stopped by Semicolon in Falls Church, VA for a quick bite. I got their Ube latte (with no espresso- not a fan of coffee) and this was so creamy and delicious. Had a nice coconut flavor to it. I also got the Bulgogi sandwich for which I'll give a 8/10. It was good but taste got overwhelming too quick. I don't know if it was because it was a bit salty. Nevertheless it was still good! The staff were nice and cafe was pretty cute!

Great coffee, great breakfast. Ample seating inside for parties of 4 or more. You can order everything at the kiosk and they call your name to pick it up from the counter. They also offer free 2 hour parking if you park at Founders Row parking garage.

Bulgogi sandwich, Chicken Sandwich (and I don't remember what the other names are)
Elenna M.

Love this place. The atmosphere is great for getting a drink and sandwich, then locking in and doing some work. On the other hand it is a great place to chat with another person or in a group setting. If you are a fan of corn, you musttt get the Sweekorn Cream! It is smooth, rich, and has the perfect subtle corn flavor, it's also not too sweet. If you're looking for something on the sweeter side, the Biscoff Cream Latte is perfect and decadent. The sandwiches are loaded and very filling, just on the messy side when you dig in and eat. Favorites are the Chicken Sandwich and ultimately the Bulgogi Sandwich. Definitely give it a try!

Ube Latte
Maya B.

I tried the seasonal ube cream latte and margherita pizza pastry and they were both delicious! Quick and friendly service with a large amount of seating inside and not crowded so you can definitely stay to get some work done. They validate parking for two hours in the deck but you can also park in a nearby neighborhood and walk over!

Jamel V.

This place has easy parking and is easy to find. The service is fast and friendly. You place your order at the kiosk and wait for your name to be called. The cafe is small but has enough space to sit with a friend and chat or grab a window seat to eat/drink and people watch. I have visited twice and had the same two items each time. The biscoff iced coffee and the bulgogi egg sandwich. Yum! The bread is soft and perfectly toasted and the biscoff cold cream MAKES the drink. I will continue to visit again and again!

bulgogi sandwich
Emily G.

This is a really bright and spacious cafe with free wifi. The area seems to be up and coming, "Founders Row", with other restaurants and shops getting built. Free parking in the parking garage. There are instructions how to validate parking in the garage and in stores, and once we were at Semicolon cafe, there was a QR code to scan that validated our parking, which made our parking free. This cafe has kiosks to order food and drinks. Can also order at the cash register. I really like Semicolon's sandwiches. I felt full after; the drinks were also yum; the flavored lattes are true to the flavor while still having a strong coffee taste. I'd recommend!

Beautiful swan latte art!
Elaine C.

The Korean style egg sandwiches here are to die for. If you can only try one, pick the bulgogi! The sweet thinly sliced beef goes incredibly well with the fluffy egg, veggies, and buttery brioche bread. They top it off with a squiggle of some kind of aioli that just takes it to the next level. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. Espresso drinks are just as impressive. They use La Colombe beans. Note that cappuccinos (and lattes, I would assume) come in pretty large mugs. This was perfect for two people to share.

Avocado egg sandwhich
Caroline R.

Cute cafe with good working space. Was disappointed they didn't have matcha, so went for the Ube latte which was offensively sweet. The avocado sandwich was decent but for the price, could do better. Prefer other cafes in the neighborhood.

Seoul Prime - Dry Aged Ribeye Cap

Seoul Prime

We visited near opening time on a Saturday for restaurant week menu. It was obviously empty but a…read moresteady amount of people came in while we were there, and kind of busy when we left around 115p. Inside is very modern and dark. Tables of various sized with the bbq in the center can accommodate any party size. To keep it short, the standard combo was more than enough food for two hungry guys. Quality of everything is great. Our helpful waitress did all of the cooking. As it got busier, we did have to wait a bit for our desserts and check. But overall will come back.

I was really excited to try Seoul Prime, especially with it bring covered as quarterly Resy credit…read morethrough Amex. Unfortunately, especially as a regular diner at Korean barbeque/Japanese yakiniku restaurants at a similar price point of ~$50-150pp, I can't say that I was satisfied. When it came to taste, Seoul Prime felt very average. From the get-go, the raw Hanger Steak came out as cuts of irregular cubic chunks rather than the typically thinner slices. The meat itself was not stellar, even though it was tender. Pieces of fat were left on and it didn't seem like much of anything was really seasoned (and this is coming from someone who eats on the blander side). I expected the Marinated Rib Finger to be the most flavorful, but even that did not taste very marinated. At similar restaurants, the taste of the steak alone with maybe a dash of salt or wasabi is enough to carry the meal without much need for any other sauce. Here, I felt like I needed to save my steak with ssamjang, which tasted alright. Additionally, I would've liked a more traditional sesame oil-based sauce over the mustard, but that's personal preference. With this, the available sauces did not help make the steak any better. The sides we ordered (Soybean Brisket Stew & Volcano Egg Souffle) were average; there are definitely places in the area that do better on the sides department alone. From the ambiance to pricing of Seoul Prime, it's clear that the restaurant aims to present itself as a more upscale KBBQ experience compared to the many more casual KBBQ restaurants in the area. From dropping my fork off my plate when serving meat to continuously mentioning that they are new and conversing about all things not steak--our server's banter and visible lack of experience did not match the experience Seoul Prime seeks to give, even if they were really friendly. They also left our Marinated Rib Finger on for too long at the end, which definitely burnt due to the marinade. With the abundance of KBBQ restaurants in NoVa, I'm not sure I'd return.

If I were to compare them with clothing brands, the top tier restaurants would be akin to Hermès: impeccable, yes, but you're refinancing your apartment just to sit at the counter. Takumi is Ted Baker: genuinely refined, quietly stylish, and doesn't require a second mortgage to appreciate. The fish is flown in fresh daily. There is no cream cheese within a 50-foot radius of this kitchen. No yum yum sauce. No roll named after a questionable life decision. Just pristine fish doing pristine fish things. The menu is tight -- bento boxes, focused apps, nothing that needs a paragraph of explanation. The fried oysters and squid tentacles are mandatory. Non-negotiable. Do not test me on this. Then the subtle flex begins: yuzu, truffle, shiso placed with quiet confidence, mango puree that sounds wrong and tastes right, an Old Bay finish that would make Maryland weep with pride, and a Kalamata olive that has absolutely zero business being this good on a sushi menu -- and yet. This is a kitchen that knows exactly what it's doing and doesn't need your validation. For top tier sushi in Falls Church, go with Takumi if you skew towards traditional, go to Yume if you prefer modern more creative options.

Food: The Yinyang Bowl (B) was the star of the meal for me. It comes with Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen and Sapporo Miso Ramen, plus braised pork, chashu pork, shrimp tempura, half a marinated egg, bamboo shoots, corn, zucchini, and scallions. There was plenty of food, and I loved being able to try two different ramen options in one bowl. Both broths were really good, and the whole combination worked so well. Ramen noodles was cooked to perfection! Wings: The wings were also good and had a lot of flavor. My only complaint was that they got a little soggy sitting in the sauce. I'd probably get the sauce on the side next time so they stay crispier. Atmosphere: The vibe was fire. I loved the decor, and the whole place felt warm, inviting, and comfortable. It's the kind of spot where you can actually relax and enjoy your meal without feeling rushed. Overall: Really enjoyed this place. The portions were generous, the ramen was delicious, and the Yinyang Bowl is such a great option if you want to try more than one broth. Between the food, decor, and overall atmosphere, I'd definitely come back and try more of the menu.
