Wow! I am so happy we have a Korean go-to place in the Ashburn/Chantilly area! The soups (jjigaes) are outstanding - very authentic flavors. They have Korean chicken (similar to Bon Chon/Chimac), Korean ramen, excellent Bulgogi/Kalbi, etc. I think their kimchi is nearly identical to my Mom's, so it reminds me of my childhood. I highly recommend this place. I'd even prefer it to many of the Annandale/Centreville/Chantilly Korean restaurants! I love the owners and frequent this place. My personal favorites are the kalbitang soup, fried dumplings, and bulgogi for family ordering. read more

I went to Somac for lunch take-out during their soft opening. I'm pretty excited to have this new option in my neighborhood, as authentic ethnic food options, particularly korean food, is very limited in the area. I ordered a spicy pork lunch box for $10 (a bargain) for spicy pork, rice, salad, dumpling, egg, and two types of kimchi. Looking forward to coming back to try other items on the menu! read more

Somac - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

2 stars for food. +1 more star for the service The food is a little lackluster in comparison to restaurants a few miles away in chantilly (Fairfax county) or Centreville.... But the employees are so very nice which compensated for our appetizers coming after our entrees and the lack of flavor. We got: - seafood pancake (pretty good flavor, but they forgot to provide sauce, had to ask) - ddukbokki (was fine) - boneless fried chicken in spicy (no flavor!) - bibimbap (was fine, they forgot to provide sauce and we had to ask again) - the banchan was kimchi and radish kimchi. Both were fine. Was hoping for more. read more

This is in Stone Ridge/Aldie Va even though the physical address says Chantilly. Food and service was great. Last call for kitchen is 9:30pm on Sundays. I got their galbi-tang and the boneless chicken. Galbi-tang was okay. It was more on the oily side which I didn't particularly care for. The chicken though... on point!! Lol. I asked them to make it extra crispy and omg. Delicious!! It's normally topped with sunflower seed and almonds. We just got them on the side cause we had someone with us who has a nut allergy so the photo I took doesn't have the toppings on it. Excited to have this new location. We don't have many Korean spots in this area so this is great addition!! Prices aren't terrible either. ;) read more

Love the friendly service here. I always get my order to go, & the owner is so polite in taking my order. The food is also amazing! My go to chicken was Choongman, but after discovering this place I was hooked! I love the spicy wings chicken. Crispness, size is just right. The fried dumplings is also a must try. If you're on a budget and just wants to try a little of everything, the lunch bento box is a must! read more

No small plates???? Otherwise, nice ppl, ok food. I mean we can hardly find a place to eat around here, so, can't complain much. But come on, Korean food is all about the side dishes. read more

Great hang out drinking place. Has a good variety of Korean drinking foods and a pleasant staff. Great option for Aldie residents who don't want to drive to Centreville nor Annandale read more

Definitely not the best Korean place ive been to. Food is ok.... The chicken bites are probably the best thing to get. Donkatsu was soooo tough like leather and can tell it's been frozen for a couple of days if not weeks. the portion was SMALL. Also, took 45 mins for them to make two things when no one was at the restaurant. read more

Good tasting Korean food, good service, and reasonably priced. Online app is user friendly too.

Closing manager on a Thursday didn't seem very nice towards me. Seemed upset with me to order.

The spicy crunchy chicken was delicious. I'd compare it to general tso's popcorn chicken. Really good. Very big portion for a small almost too much for one person if your a big person like me. read more

I went to Somac for dinner for only the second time since it has been opened. For some reason I keep forgetting that it is near me due to its location and lack of advertising. I guess out of sight out of mind. Both times the food was excellent. I have lived in Asia and this was the closest to authentic Yakisoba that I have ever had in this area. My only complaint is the serving size for the Yakisoba. The container was half full. For $17 you expect the container to be full. read more

Tonight we finally tried Somac...OMG! I can't believe we waited so long since we moved back to the area. Everything we ordered was amazing. Bulgogi,Korean Fried Chicken,Yakisoba and more. Being a chef, I can really appreciate the effort and authenticity of the different flavors and quality of ingredients. This will be our go to for Asian fare. read more

The chicken is much better than BONCHON. It taste like BONCHON before they changed their recipe to that shit flavor.

What? I haven't reviewed this place yet? Long overdue review for our new favorite area spot for Korean fried chicken! Bonchon is conveniently down the road, and a few others, but Somac remains the best option. Their fried chicken is so flavorful, and the seasoning permeates the skin and soaks into the flesh, not like other fried chicken places where the fried skin is great, and then what's beneath is impossibly bland. Besides Somac's star dish, they also excel at more traditional Korean bites and slurps, like soondubu, galbitang, kalguksu, etc. I am not as big on their fusiony dishes, but they do them well, too. All in all, a great neighborhood spot for superb Korean fried chicken and more homey soups and plates, if that's more your speed. Service is always friendly whether we dine in or get carryout. Also, points for cleanliness and a pleasant environment. read more

We were hoping that this place would be great because it is near our house. We were slightly disappointed. The dinner portions for the kimchi fried rice and spicy squid and pork were very small, making it an expensive and unsatisfying meal. The dishes tasted ok. read more

Best Korean chicken wings in the area! Better than Bon Chon since the meat itself is flavorful. Crunchy and delicious. Bibimbap is also good! Easy to order online and pay online or at the restaurant! read more

We got carry out from there... nothing special. Standard korean food... felt it was a little overpriced

Yum! I was surprised to find such a yummy Korean restaurant in a strip mall in this area. It's definitely worth a visit. Everything we had was tasty and fresh. read more

This place has to be taken on it's own terms, it's worth it, but do it the right way, or you'll run into trouble. Do not: Try to order takeout at the desk. Expect a quick pop in pop out. Do: Order takeout an hour in advance. Bring friends and spend a couple of hours. The food if phenomenal, but it's all cooked fresh. Any of the fried chicken will take at least 35 minutes to be ready, but it's worth the wait. Other things will come at other speeds. Bring a group, order your chicken, and then have apitizers, shared entrees and drinks while the chicken fries. Savor each new dish as it is brought out, and enjoy the company of people who you actually like; then sink your teeth into the crunchy goodness of the chicken. Or, phone in your order and believe them when they tell you how long it will take. The space is clean and well lit, there are TVs, and while they serve alcohol, you may see well behaved kids there as well. read more

Got take out for the chicken bites. Love them! Can't wait to try dine-in. Quality of food seems great.

The dukk dukk was freaking amazing. The spicy chicken bites were amazing. The food was overall awesome, esp for take out.

Best Korean food ever!! We ordered spicy beef and veggie soup, the broth has so much flavor; Bibimbap, generous amount of grilled rib beef and fresh veggie; and friend chicken wings with soy garlic glaze, sweet and savory combination, I can't stop licking my fingers! they are all so delicious! Staff are super friendly too, definitely will come back to try some more dishes! read more

Went on a Sunday at around 5. Two tables occupied. Cashier was taking a payment and went into the kitchen. Son and I stood there awkwardly for about 3 minutes with no acknowledgement from wait staff. Decided to leave and go to Shiro's across the street. read more

Sure, the place is under-staffed and they kind of run behind, but they cook as the order comes through, which is understandable that things get delayed. Taken into consideration the currently situation we're in, the food and wait is worth it in my opinion. I would rather have less hands dealing with my food, but that's a personal opinion as well. The food quality is still top-notch, and would definitely pick here over other Korean fried chicken places in the area. The staff members are friendly, and even under stress, they're very professional and polite. A longer wait time here and there isn't going to prevent me from giving this place a great review. They deserve it. read more

My husband and I absolutely love Somac! He likes to get their Korean fried wings and I have had a few of their ramen bowls. Their fried dumplings are also really good. read more

Excellent local Korean food. The Bulgogi glass noodles are our go to item. We try other dishes all the time too.

The food here is exceptional and they go out of their way to make sure everything is hot and fresh. The owners are always available and actively engaged. My kids and I love this place. read more

Decided to give them a shot and the chicken was yummy. Sauce had a nice balance of flavor and heat, came super crispy. Fries were good nothing super special but they were good. Def gonna eat here again read more

This was my first time visiting this spot. It is located kind of in a far off set part of South riding, but I would definitely try it again. My coworkers and I ordered here for lunch and picked it up for lunch. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by the very polite ladies working. We placed our orders online, which I was surprised at how smooth and well put together the ordering system was considering its a small place. They even had an order queue for online orders, I was happy to see that type of organization. On to the food: I ordered the lunch special Bulgogi burger which came with fries. For something that I picked up almost 30minutes later than I was supposed to, I really loved it! great amount of fries came with my order and it still tasted delicious! Not too many places have good tasting food that is almost room temperature. I would definitely recommend this Korean spot if you're in the area or looking for a new spot to try. If you plan on dining in, not too sure how packed it gets for dinner, but lunch there was plenty of tables available. Parking situation wasn't bad, I was able to score a front spot closest to the entrance, so I can complain. Definitely going to come back and try their Korean Fried Chicken next time! read more

I have been hesitant to eat out since Covid, and know now not to hesitate to come here for a tasty and relaxed meal, The Japanese/Korean fusion of ramen with vegetarian broth and bulgogi hit the spot. Good to the last drop! I appreciate the owner/chef and her husband/helper who offer a terrific and authentic treat on my way home from a day trip to the countryside. read more

This place is great. A bit pricey but it keeps me from ordering there every day. The ramen, boneless chicken, and all their food so far is very good. I'm glad they're so close and it gives me an option other than bonchon! read more

This is great place to go to eat. I liked the boneless chicken wings because that is what I got. I would suggest to come to this great place for lunch or diner as a family or alone. read more

Somac - Chicken Wings Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

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

Owner/manager (not sure which exactly) is very courteous and nice. She also said she is confident her food is 100% good (which I don't know why it shouldn't?). My food was a lunch order and the yookgaejang was very good and tasted fresh with the right amount of spice. Also ordered the chicken wings and my favorite was soy garlic. The sweet and spicy wings tasted lacking in flavor but that may be because I'm used to traditional sweet spicy KFC. We also got an order of spicy pork lunch box which came with crispy pieces of tempura vegetables which were a nice addition to cool you off from the spicy pork. Only complaint I have is the floors were sticky upon entering the store. I would definitely order here again. read more

Such a great place to eat fusion Korean food. It's a new place so we need to be patient with the wait staff but the food is amazing !

Easily one of the best Korean restaurants that serve amazing "lunchbox" style food. I highly recommend this place and a great place to order Door Dash for those cravings or entertaining friends. read more

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

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

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
