Starting off, I understand that dine-in can be difficult during these times. But that being said, this one of the worst dining experiences I've had. I had to ask for water and silverware, the manager told my girlfriend didn't know what she ordered when the item on the menu was different than what she received, and the manager/owner made excuses for what happened. Not to mention the food took a looong time to be prepared. I'm sorry to say we won't be coming back here again. read more

Wings are much better than Bon Chon, so far I've also had the spicy chicken in iron pan, spicy ramen noodles, Bibimbap wife had the spicy beef soup, all really really good! read more

Togo service is much improved over their initial growing pains. I was quoted 10 minutes for ddukbokki and it was ready in 10 minutes as promised. I eat here at least once a week because it's easier than cooking my own Korean food at home. Food is always good and everyone I take to dine-in loves it. Portions are perfect. Service is friendly. I love not having to drive to Centreville or Annandale for my Korean food fix. Thank you! read more

We picked up chicken to go 20 wings half/half. Came home and it was hot and tasty! Super crispy skin 5/5.

Ordered there for the first time on 8/30 and the food was great! We ordered Bulgogi, Spicy Pork, fried rice, & Yakisoba. The Spicy Pork & Yakisoba had a nice kick! read more

We had ordered take out a number of times, as well as ate in a few times. The food was consistently good. The service was hit or miss. However, the last time we ordered take out, the food was inedible. It was ice cold and had the texture of something that had been cooked hours before. We were too tired to take it back. When we called, they knew exactly what we were talking about and didn't seem surprised, so we didn't trust them to remake it. I hope it was worth it to them to charge $40 for garbage and lose a customer. read more

I signed up for Yelp just to give this place 5 stars... the wings are juicy to the point where my mouth was still watery from thinking about the next wing I'm about to eat. Also the service was ON POINT. Our server Amber who is REALLY pretty was so nice to us. Made us feel so welcomed. It really enhanced our experience. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the food here ! We had the chicken, seafood pancake , tofu stew and bi bim Nap. Generous portions and very authentic. I would definitely come back! The owner , Nancy, is very sweet too. So glad we have a good restaurant in the area now ! read more

Welcome to the neighborhood! Solid 4 for this tasty food and excellent quality to boot. Ordered takeout and waited the time recommended via the app, could even add 10 minutes to be safe. Bibimbop and Katsu ordered and received bbq, kimchi and other sauces. Dishes are slightly pricey compared to what I get at other Korean restaurants. That said, when I opened up the containers at home I was impressed. Katsu was crispy and generous I portion. Beautiful displayed, fresh and hot. Not overly sweet and drenched in sauces like other, and also not too salty. Someone below said it was bland but it isn't. Forgot to take pictures but will next time. read more

Strictly no beef due to religion, we mentioned it couple of times that we don't eat it, but we still were served beef. One they served it with beef toppings, we said plz remove it which they did & we also mentioned why we don't eat it. But the second dish also had beef in it. When we asked them, they said they forgot even though we mentioned before the meal, before we ordered it, after we ordered it, & after they changed the toppings. The only reason we stayed for the second dish was because well its korean food and we thought the server was nice but she when she said she forgot, we were very upset. The manager was rude & put a high tip on the food. We were still down to give tip but honestly, who will give a 20% tip after that-too high. We asked if we could lower it because of the very bad service, but they were like pay it!!!! I would have let it go, but they were very rude, made a huge a mistake, & were cleaning the floors in midst of while we were eating. By the way, this was at the Aldie restaurant. I looked into other reviews, and they also showed similar concerns. VERY BADD DOES not even DESERVE ONE STAR. read more

Hands down the best Korean fried chicken I've had! Much more moist and flavorful than bonchon and a very large menu of Korean and Japanese favorites. The galbi (Korean style short ribs) was also phenomenal. This is definitely going to be a regular spot from now on. read more

I went with my mom and dad to try the place. We weren't sure what we were getting into when we went, but what little expectations we had were let down after our visit. To start off, the waitress handed my mom and I forks and knives instead of chopsticks, while she gave my dad chopsticks. My dad is asian while we are white. Though it's a small gesture, it shows how the waitress was not considerate enough to ask what we preferred. The wait for the food was average, but the food itself sorely disappointed. I had fried chicken was was pretty good, but in all honesty I think Popeyes had better chicken than Somac. My dad had some sort of classic Korean dish which he said was decent. But the real travesty was my mother who had ordered some sort of shrimp dish- but it might as well have just been a dish because the shrimp were tiny! They were the size of her pinky! They really lived up to the name of shrimp because they were so small. And it wasn't like she got a lot of them either, there were 7 pieces MAX of "shrimp" in her dish. All in all, it was a sad experience. I want to see locally owned restaurants in the area succeed, but cheating out on food is not the way to do it Somac. read more

Food's actually pretty good, but I can't let slide that I ordered something that sounded...and then was...a perfect combo. Beef wrapped scallions with a horseradish marinade (or something). Flavor was even better than hoped for...but I did a double-take when I opened the to-go...there were around 6 pieces that summed to about 2 bites. I don't know if they were packed wrong or if that's the way they come. In any case, it was a feloniously small portion, esp for the money. read more

You have to try this place!!! We ordered the spicy chicken & the mild boneless wings. The wings were deliciously sweet and sticky. The draft beers aren't available yet, so I got a Super Cloud. Soooo goooood!!! I'm so glad we have more variety in the area. The service was on point and super kind. We can't wait to go back! read more

Somac - Spicy chicken.. and the mild boneless wings, and Parmesan fries!! Sooo delicious!! - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Awesome food and very friendly service. My kids and I loved our first visit and we will definitely be back.

I was staying at a hotel for work nearby and decided to pop in. It is very open with a small bar. I was warmly greeted on a Wednesday evening. I ordered the dumplings and the boneless chicken bites. The dumplings were fried, and were greasy. The accompanying dipping sauce didn't bring anything to the party. The boneless chicken was really good. It was sauced well and it was spicy and sweet. I would go back and eat the chicken again if I was in the neighborhood read more

So happy to have a Korean restaurant so close! We ordered the bibimbap, soy wings and yukgaejang. Everything was very good and authentic. Bibimbap was one of the best I've had. Yukgaejang had great flavor and the perfect amount of spice. Looking forward to trying some other dishes here soon! read more

This place is a real gem in northern Virginia! What is unique is that their other dishes are actually better than chickens. My favorites are their Yukgaejang, Seolleongtang, and Ramen. As a Korean, theirs are honestly much better than what you can get at Korean restaurants in Annandale or Centreville. I highly recommend this place to those who are looking for general Korean dishes along with chickens or alcohol. What I also like about this place is that people who work there are always super-friendly and the place is very clean! read more

Good food but the bulgogi was super sweet. It made my ramen really sweet so will have to try it without bulgogi next time

Solid choice for lunch or dinner. Came here on a weekday evening when most of the other restaurants started closing. Overall was a great meal and you can see a few others were enjoying that they were still open. Perfectly filled a void that the area has for later than average food. Had several dishes and was great all around. read more

I'm a Korean American who never learned how to cook. The food here tastes like home. Delicious and highly recommend!

Can't say enough good things about Somac. Never had a bad meal, the food is delicious, and the staff are lovely. On New Years Eve a couple of years ago, they let us get food even though they were closing (we didn't realize the holiday hours) and it was such a kind gesture. Their fried chicken is worth the wait and their japchae is top notch! Everything is good, don't delay in trying their food! read more

Delicious food served with smiling faces and very helpful staff. So glad we found this place! Absolute favorite place!

The soups and the chicken is really good. The bibimbap was actually lacking a bit. Not enough quality vegetables and very little meat (I got bulgogi bibimbap) Service was okay. read more

My husband order food for pick up and a lady said it'll take 30min to be ready, but we had to wait almost 1 hour to pick up my food. It was weekend and looks like they don't know what they were doing because many other customers got same problem and food was not so flavored I won't go to this restaurant ever again. read more

I got take out for lunch on the weekends and food came quick and was enough for leftovers the next day for the bimbimbap. I will check them put again when i get a craving for Korean food. read more

Why go to bonchon when you have this? Why eat fried chicken anywhere when you have this? Boneless chicken bites are addictive. read more

We always have a great experience here. Food it soooo good! A must try. We love the Bulgogi ramen and the wings are amazing. Even our 8-year-old picky eater loves SOMAC! read more

First time here during their soft opening. We were hoping it would be like Chicken and Beer in Centreville. We started with the fries and dumplings. It would be wise of them to add a cheese sauce to go with the fries. The dumplings had the outside consistency of an egg roll which we didn't expect. We then tried ten soy wings. These were worth 5 stars. Meaty and tasty. The service was great too. read more

Eh I tried it for the first time I've had better Korean food. 1st the wait for the food was horrible I ordered for pick up and it says it will be ready in 40 mins so I get there to pick the food up 40 mins later it was not even ready and there were many more people waiting for their food inside the restaurant like me. After waiting I finally get called that my order was ready because I was so hungry did not bother to check the bag and when I got home to check they forgot to put the egg rolls that I paid for. They need to hire more people for this place. It would be a great place if they have more staff they need help terribly read more

My daughter and I are so excited to find a gem right near our house in Aldie. Great Korean food and has all my favorites and friendly service. Can't wait to go back and will bring my husband next time :) read more

Found this spot randomly while getting bubble tea and walking around. Very good ramen dishes and fresh broth! I thoroughly enjoyed the appetizers too, and the food didn't take too long to come out. Pretty empty during covid times but appreciate the safe dine in options read more

When our Uber eats driver brought us the wrong order, the owner personally brought us our food. In addition, their food is great! I love the dumplings with cream cheese in them. read more

Loved it!! The food is seasoned really well and priced very reasonably. My favorite is the yakisoba and kimchi fried rice. Food came out around 20-30 mins but that is expected for fresh cooked food! read more

See all

Finally tried Somac, DELICIOUS!! We love Korean food but there's no where close to Stone Ridge conveniently grab it. We got ramen, dumplings, and bibimbap with bulgogi, everything was made fresh, hot and delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Was in the mood for korean fried chicken on a late Sunday night and decided to give this place a shot. I ordered half Soy/half Hot wings and it came with pink radish on the side. The quality of the chicken was much better than other places in the area like Bonchon and MC. The Soy was very flavorful and the Hot wasn't so bad you needed to drink some water after every bite. The service was fast and the staff was really nice. Will be back whenever i'm craving KFC. read more

Somac - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

We've had a great experience every time we order from here. There chicken is delicious. We also love their fried rice, it tastes like they use fresh ingredients. So happy to find this gem in our area! read more

Somac is our go to Korean restaurant! Their food is consistent and have very good serving portion! They would set your expectation for the long wait ( specially the fried chicken) since they do everything from scratch. Please support our local restaurants, this is a good one and hoping they survive this pandemic. Thank you SOMAC!! read more

Tonight was my first time here! It's amazing! Everything I ordered was extremely flavorful. I absolutely loved the menu options. A lot of traditional Korean dishes, which is a huge plus for people looking to eat meals that aren't really "American-ized". They do have Korean fried chicken and a bulgogi burger which were the only 2 items that I could see being considered the fusion part. (What I could remember) My absolute favorite part of the dish I ordered, (spicy squid and pork bulgogi), is that it didn't taste like it was just tossed into some spicy paste. It was seasoned and flavorful, and the best part the first bite isn't spicy and the heat only kicks in the more you eat it! Of course they do have a little chili pepper image next to items that are spicy, and there are a lot of options that aren't spicy. So if spicy isn't your thing, you still have tons of options! We were given some delicious side dishes to compliment our meal which included, kimchi (honestly the best kimchi I've ever eaten that's been served at a restaurant), rice, and pickled radish. All were so fresh and flavorful as well! The staff is extremely friendly! We were immediately greeted the second we walked in the door, all throughout our meal he would come over and ask how everything was and if we needed anything. The number of times he visited our table and the space between those times were perfect! Never once did we feel like he was hovering or was taking too long, the timing was perfect. We were even asked our opinions on the dishes and if we had any critiques to possibly better the dishes! Of course that was hard to answer because we honestly were so pleasantly surprised with how awesome this place is. And the food didn't taste fake! The location is a little hidden, but I am so excited that we can now enjoy some really delicious Korean food that isn't 30 minutes away (hour and a half in traffic ). I can say I will be going there a lot! Great food, great customer service, great atmosphere! Highly recommend it! Things we ordered and truly recommend: Appetizers: kimchi wraps (filled with tofu wrapped in cabbage) very light in flavor, not spicy and a great way to start your stomach, especially if you plan on something spicy! Smoked salmon bites (smoked salmon on top of lettuce with a sauce that is possibly sesame oil? Whatever it is, it's so yummy). The flavor of the salmon was amazing, you got that nice hint of smoked flavor and the raw flavor of salmon together. The salmon just melts in your mouth and the lettuce was so refreshing and crisp with the smoked flavor. Meals: spicy squid and pork bulgogi (Korean spicy paste mixed in with cooked squid and pork bulgogi (thin meat)) the squid was not rubbery and very easy to eat! The pork was not dry, the spiciness kicked up notches the more you ate it! Beautiful combination alongside some rice. tteokbokki (rice cakes, glass noodles, fish cake in spicy Korean paste) this wasn't my dish, but my boyfriend's dish (I did sneak a taste haha) the rice cakes were beautifully cooked as sometimes they can be really dry and tacky, these weren't, they were soft and squishy and very sweet which compliments the spicy. The noodles retained the most heat with spice (which was awesome, can you tell we like spicy stuff?) the fish cakes were also delicious they didn't taste super fishy, think more along the lines of tofu with a little hint smoked flavor. Everything we had was amazing, and we can't wait to try out more stuff! read more

This is a hidden gem. Our first visit - A staff member of our veterinarian (across the parking lot) stated she had great food there, so we tried and were not disappointed. We had the Korean fried chicken (mild) - excellent; Ddukbaegi Bulgogi - excellent; and the Spicy Squid & Pork Bulgogi - very good (the squid was on the very chewy side). Our server, Nahn, was great in explaining everything. We will be back. Thank you. read more
