I love checking out new places to eat in the area. Tilly Kitchen took over the old Ruby Tuesday spot in Sully Plaza. They new space is very modern and spacious. They have another location called Pike Kitchen in MD. It is supposed to be a food hall and you order at the counter and there are plenty of tables throughout where you seat yourself. There is still construction going on inside and outside. Looks like the center of the establishment will be some kinda coffee/pastry counter. Arrived for lunch soon after their opening time so it was still pretty empty inside. Ordered two entrees: curry udon w/ an addition of chashu and army stew. They page you when your food is ready for pickup at the counter. I noticed they were missing my chashu so I had to ask about that. The army stew was decent and it's a big portion enough to feed two people. The curry udon was a tad on the sweeter side. It also only has a few strips of tofu so you'll have to add some kinda meat if you want more protein. Overall, I can see this place having potential to grab a quick bite to eat. read more

First the place is super cute, there is plenty of room to sit and some semi private spaces which is pretty cool, bathroom is nice and clean which is always a good sign. The owner looks around every now and then to make sure all is well and I appreciate that. The atmosphere is kinda like a canteen. You buy the food, and bring it back to your table yourself. Food is delicious! Boyfriend and I got the donkatsu to try, the rice part was so small but the meat is huge LOL and the slaw was fantastic. def one of the best slaws I've had! Also they gave a lil miso soup on the side :') I'll be back to try more. Love this place. read more

The food was amazing considering how big of a menu they have! The food portions were big for the price we paid. Especially, the spicy seafood soup! It had so much seafood in it. We got regular tteokbokki. Loved it! Sweet in the beginning with a spicy kick at the end. We also got bulgogi bao bun. Just yum! The service was pretty quick too. The location is great! A lot of parking and other shops around the area. I love the ambiance. It got a little bit everything you need. They've got a bunch of seating. They've got outdoor seating. In door, they've got two rooms where it is a little quieter. Tilly's Kitchen shares space with Semicolon. Highly recommend both! read more

I'd say order from here if you're looking to compliment your semicolon sandwich with some extra bites. If you're looking for a full meal from tilly kitchen though you may be a little disappointed. Semicolon's kitchen closes at 730pm so I ordered dinner from Tilly Kitchen. I will say TK will not leave you without - they have a huge assortment of items from sushi to noodle soups to bibimbaps. I got the katsu + curry, pork belly buns and onigiri. The curry was tasty but the katsu was quite dry. The buns and pork belly lacked flavor (I recommend dipping it in the curry if you find yourself in a similar situation). Onigiri was a challenge to unwrap. I've eaten many an onigiri but for whatever reason the rice stuck to the wrapping and made it a very messy ordeal. Overall food was ok - not horrible but nothing to write home about. Notably the kitchen was slammed so it may have been an off-meal to rate them by. The service was very friendly, accommodated my nut allergy diligently and helped carry some trays to my table. read more

We came here on a Sunday night and it wasn't busy at all. The staff is friendly and the place was clean. There are a ton of options so if your group can't decide what to eat or you just want some Asian cuisine, it might be a good place to try. The Semicolon sandwich shop in the front closed 1.5 hours before the store closing which was disappointing. They did have some desserts available so I got the banana pudding and it was so good! The food we had was super underwhelming. The pork belly was good, but it wasn't something I would come back for. It had a good kick to it and a lot of radish (my fav). The chicken bites were dry and tasted like they were fried and then re fried to warm up so it wasn't good at all. The bao buns were soft and the bulgogi wasn't flavorful. Maybe we had a bad night here or need to try other things, but overall I was underwhelmed by what we had and likely would go back to try the sandwich shop but not for anything I already got. read more

Long overdue post. Came here with family for a Friday night dinner. Layout of the restaurant is fantastic. Outdoor seating was a plus especially with the weather cooling down and the sun slowly setting. Curry Pork Katsu had a small kick and wasn't super heavy for a fried cutlet. The spicy seafood noodle definitely emphasized the spicy and the portion is on par/better than other korean-chinese fusion restaurants. Lastly the chicken bites were great to share and carried on same strong flavor profile as the other dishes. The restaurant's exterior doesn't even come to close to the vibe that's inside. There's a multitude of options that can make everyone leave feeling happy and full. Will definitely be returning. read more

Good food, not really surprising. Nothing to be impressed about. But I must say the ambiance is pretty good. I like that it has a mini cafe inside it's really cute. Service is okay even though they sometimes get my order wrong. Good for a fast in and out. read more

Chicken Teriyaki Bibop Bowl: I'm always in the mood for a big fat bowl of rice, meat, and veggies so I'm happy that Tilly's Kitchen had various rice bowl options. Isn't the flower so cute? Lowkey thought it was edible. What I loved most was how there was a perfect amount of sauce so that when you mixed all the contents everything was nicely coated. The veggies were fresh and I believe were marinated/stir fried prior to being added to the bowl. The chicken was okay - reminded me of Panda Express chicken. The fried egg was a great addition and wasn't too runny. The miso soup was a pleasant surprised and tasted amazing as always. Overall a very delicious bowl! Matcha Bingsoo: Decided to give Semicolon a second chance and I definitely think they deserved it. I actually got to enjoy the bingsoo this time because it wasn't melted! I found you that you definitely need to mix everything together because the mascarpone cream on the top can be a bit overwhelming. The matcha is for sure better than the black sesame - the flavor was widely present but not overly bitter. I think I got more mochi bites this time or last time my parents just ate it all lol. read more

New Asian food hall located in Chantilly and serving a variety of Asian foods, mainly Korean and Japanese. Their menu, as well as the inside the restaurant is huge. We tried some of our favorite Asian dishes twice. The creamy spicy ramen was creamy, with a kick, and good with the bacon bits. I haven't had bacon with my ramen before and it added a nice meaty texture. We really like the salmondon as it had buttery and decent size pieces of salmon, along with good sushi rice. The chicken katsu had thinly cut pieces of crispy, tender chicken. And the beef soondubu was flavorful and comforting. My little one loved the chicken katsu so much, she asked for it the following weekend which means another trip back! The wait times for takeout can take about 15-25 mins depending on the number of items you ordered. I just walk over the Lotte and stock up on my Asian grocery snacks and instant noodles to kill time. read more

*** 3 1/2 Stars*** Fun food hall concept in Chantilly. There are two main spots serving a variety of sweet and savory options raging from boba, sushi, to bowls. I ordered sushi and dumplings. My husband ordered a bowl. Service was good and the food was pretty tasty. There is plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating as well. The reason for the 3 1/2 stars was I felt the food wasn't particularly memorable. Overall not a bad option in the area. read more

Good place. I would say this is an upscale fast food. Upscale interior, but you still order at the counter and come up to get your food. The dish I got was just as good as any other formal restaurant. The menu list is extensive. I'm a big sushi guy and those items were great! It also have a little area to get desserts and coffee after your meal. No complaints. I like this place and would come here. If you have young ones this would be a good choice. If they walked around a bit it wouldn't raise attention or be distracting. read more

Tilly Kitchen - The shio ramen - Korean Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

This place is amazing! I love love love their food and dessert selection. I'm definitely recommending that you visit and dine here. Great for small or big groups. They have a common dining area and enclosed space if you want more privacy. Not sure if you reserve this rooms for special occasions. I came here with 3 other friends and we ordered, Ramen for each of us. Mine was Seafood Ramen, it taste just right. I just hope there's more seafood meat. I love the crispy Calamari and Tteokbokki (not sure of the spelling). The Bao Ban was good as well. Finally, the Mango Bingsoo.. it was smooth perfect. It's nice to dine in because the food was well presented and classy. We were here on a Monday night and there was not as much people. It's right across Lotte in Chantilly, there was ample parking space. I'm definitely coming back! read more

This place rules. Seriously, looks like it's brand new and it's pretty spacious inside with a nice modern look you've come to expect from "luxury" apartment building lobbies. Don't know how else to describe it. Anyway it doesn't matter because you're here for the food. They obviously do a lot of different things and we've tried the bibimbap or bulgogi bowls whichever one it was, some rolls, some sushi, ramen, and the best thing ever the TK KATSU SANDWICH. Definitely get the sandwich if you can, you won't regret it. read more

Tilly Kitchen - Sandwich menu - Korean Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

This was my first visit. The staff person I talked with said that the cafe had been open for five or six months. The big sign outside says "Tilly Kitchen" but some of the signs in the window say "Semicolon cafe". This location seems to be two restaurants in one. One part is the "Tilly Kitchen" (i.e., with a big sign that reads "Savory") with a more traditional menu of various Asian foods (e.g,, Japanese dishes and sushi, Korean dishes, and Vietnamese Pho and the other is the "Semicolon Cafe" (i.e., the big sign that reads "Sweet") with more of a snack menu Ordering is done by going to the counter, ordering, paying and then being given a beeper. But the person at the Tilly Kitchen who took my order, brought my food to the table. I guess being one of only a few Caucasians customers made it easier for her. For a first visit, I had the Udon noodles with pork belly. It tasted good and also tasted authentic like I was back in Japan. I look forward to returning and trying other items on both menus. OK, so why only four stars? I came because I wanted to try he Bulgogi sandwich. The staff person said, "We no longer have that" and I was at the "Tilly Kitchen" counter. But, when I sat down, I saw the "Semicolon cafe" menu and it had the Bulgogi sandwich. Perhaps a little better coordination is needed. Hence, only four stars. read more

I order the JiangJiangmei here, cali roll, and titikboki. The tikiboki was good but the portion here was extremely small for the price point. I wouldnt recommend ordering that due to the low quantity you get for paying $10. The sushi is okay -- nothing fancy and standard sushi you can get just about anywhere. I did like the jiangjiangmein tho. this has great flavor! This place is located in the same store as the semicolon place so it was more like a food court style place. theres plenty of seatings and parking outside read more

I would say this establishment is very middle of the road in terms of taste; nothing that was a standout but that is expected with a menu that is so vast. If you want to eat ramen, go to a Japanese ramen shop. If you want to eat a nice Korean soup, go to a local Korean soup restaurant. If you want to have excellent sushi, go to an expensive Japanese omakase restaurant. You get my point. The sushi set I ordered, the rice seemed overly sweet which was a bit bizarre but I can't really complain as it was so inexpensive. I know what I'm getting at this price point as I have dined at the most expensive omakase restaurants in the USA. Generally uninspired sushi but again, you must think of the price point and diversity of the vast menu options. The ramen was mediocre and didn't have the rich, well-developed taste (deep umami) that you have from a traditional ramen shop. If you want a vast menu that has mediocre items to please many different people without the most refined palate, this is the spot. read more

Really good- the food was fresh and good / the service was excellent. One star removed for having construction stuff laying around

When reading the description of this hot new restaurant I really wasn't too sure what to think, was it cafeteria style , was it sit down and be served , was it all Asian etc. I had so many questions so I decided I needed to go check this place out! The space - shiny and new! Picnic style wooden benches ( made of much higher quality wood that's more comfortable) are neatly in rows all separated enough apart to allow for more intimate conversation or too squish ur group in to stuff their faces! I loved that there is this fancy water fountain station which also houses all the forks , spoons , chopsticks , napkins , soy sauce and straws you could ever possibly need . The menu and ordering station are at the back of the restaurant and are presented on face written boards above the registers . But no worries , if you are old like me they got regular menus near by so you can read closer to your face . You simply walk to the back and place your order ! The food- holy moly choices galore ! Japanese ( the seafood udon noodle soup was amazing , packed with seafood, for 15 dollars and was enough for 2 if sharing other plates too) , all sorts of sushi and sashimi offerings , Vietnamese ( pho), Korean , and even some Katsu with curry sauce and Hawaiian Poke . I ordered a small side salad that was perfectly shredded iceberg lettuce and came with some super yummy peanut dressing . It was enough to feed 2 people for 4 dollars. The sushi and sashimi were all beautifully presented, not a piece of rice out of place !! For the quality and amount of food I think this place represents an exceptional value. And because of the kitchen cafeteria type style of the eatery , it can be a perfect affordable dinner for an intimate date ( where ur not trying to break the bank ) or for a friends, family casual dinner gathering . This place is pretty awesome and I was super impressed . I look forward to stuffing my face there more in the future ! read more

Average food with above average atmosphere. Although there is plenty of variety in food options at Tilly Kitchen, it's not something memorable. We ordered the - kimchi fried rice: okay but needed sat - soy garlic chicken bites: good, predictable - okonomiyaki: not traditional, more crust/overcooking than expected - rose tteokbokki: decent, doesn't beat the rose tteokbokki at Khan - pork belly bao buns: small for price; buns felt microwaved / not fresh We did enjoy the wooden tables with optional, private rooms for large groups. The grey theme accented by plants around the shop were comforting. Note: they just opened a separate fluffy egg shop called semicolon in the middle of the restaurant. Will likely come back to try that out, but would not make the other food here a destination. read more

Tilly Kitchen - Kimchi Fried Rice, Soy Garlic Chicken Bites - Korean Near Me - Chantilly, Virginia

Tilly Kitchen is a new fusion eatery that opened up off of Metrotech - I was a little surprised with the space, as it looked like a food court/food hall of some sort, but it seems as if they have the whole space to themselves! The menu is super extensive - small bites (edamame, fried calamari, cream cheese dumplings, etc.), bar bites (chicken cupbop, TK bulgogi sub, TK chicken teriyaki sub, etc.), rice dishes, Korean and Japanese entrees, ramen, sushi and rolls. They also have specials of the day, so check their menu behind the sushi counter. We came here for a later lunch, and we ordered: +the Kimchi & Spam Onigiri - this was just okay; I was a little surprised at how sweet it was; not sure if the rice was overly seasoned with sugar; the kimchi was fermented enough, and there were little cubes of Spam - I think the Spam could have been sauteed a bit to make it a bit more crispy to give it more flavor; I did appreciate that there wasn't too much rice +Jjajangmyun - this was pretty good! The noodles were chewy and were not overcooked, and the fact that this wasn't a gahn jajang and is a regular version, the sauce was thick and flavorful; the veggies and the meat were also plentiful and not at all dried out +the Seared Wagyu Ramen - wasn't a fan of this; the wagyu was served at a rare (as it should be), and the curly noodles were al dente; the broth itself tasted off, and I just wasn't a fan of the peppery-focused thinness of it +Red Dragon Roll - maki roll filled with shrimp tempura, cucumber, crab stick, and mayo, and topped with spicy tuna, crunchy sweet potato, green onions, roe, spicy mayo, and eel sauce; I didn't see or taste any of the sweet potatoes; the spicy tuna could have been more fresh There was a mistake of receiving the wrong maki roll at first, in which the staff were super apologetic. Just make sure you double-check your orders. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and there were plenty of seats. I'm glad I was able to check this place out, but not sure if I'd go out of my way to return. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot. +decent jjajangmyun +plenty of seating inside +friendly and welcoming staff +plenty of parking in the plaza lot read more

Had high hopes for this place - but expectations fell short. Starting with the good: the place is spacious, clean, staff are friendly, food is plated nicely, and there are a lot of options to choose from! The meh: the flavors are underwhelming for the price. Maybe I came on an off day, but the rice was not cooked properly for sushi. I hope to try this place again and leave a better review. read more

The food was really good! When you walk in, you'll see that the restaurant is separate into two cashiers. From the door, you'll see the sweets first. Walk a little further and you'll see the savory. After you order, you'll get a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready. There's ample seating throughout the restaurant. There's also water cups near the utensils. I ordered the cream cheese dumplings as a starter. This was really tasty. It had delicious filling that was more than just cream cheese. It also came with a sweet sauce that was a lovely pairing. I had the Bulgolgi TK Bibop as an entree. It was good! Lots of meat and veggies. It also came with miso soup which was a pleasant surprise. I was very happy with this fast casual meal, and looking forward to coming back. read more

My wife and I love this place. It's our go-to for quality Korean/Japanese delivery. My favorites are the Spicy Pork Belly Dupbop and the Katsu dishes. Her favorite is their udon. They have great Naengmyeon too! We haven't ever had a bad meal from them after dozens of orders. Our orders are timely and accurate. I recently saw they have a cute patio out back. We might have to try dining in next time! read more

We ordered the tuna and avocado roll, yellowtail and avocado roll, bulgolgi bibop, kimchi fried rice, creamy spicy ramen and morisoba w shrimp. Food was prepared super quick. All flavors were really good! I'd order something new next time to try the menu BUT would eat everything we ordered again. It's a good place to just individually order and sit together. Or for easy family meals. read more

My husband and I just moved to the area. I was hesitant bc it had a huge variety of Asian foods. It's hard for it all to be good, and when we had passed by, the outside patio is still under construction. The food was soo good. The takoyaki was steaming hot and perfect. Huge octopus pieces inside. The ramen was beyond expectations (mainly bc it isn't a ramen restaurant.) It fulfilled my needs but wasn't the best #1 item. Only real complaint is that the onigiri filling was bland for the rice. The flavor kind of died with the rice and I use the same onigiri wrapping, but the restaurant packed it so tightly even I had a hard time unwrapping it. Will def come back to try the other items! read more

Overall: 3.5 stars First, I'll start off by saying that my review is largely based on 3 menu items (TK Katsu Sandwich, Rainbow Roll, Caterpillar Roll), so it may change with other menu items. Overall modern/clean interior with plenty of parking, and average-above average food that is overpriced. May come back to try other menu items (which may change my rating). Food Quality: 3 stars Ordered 3 items - TK Katsu Sandwich, Rainbow Roll, Caterpillar Roll. First, the TK Katsu Sandwich was pretty good, as the chicken was fried well (very crispy/flaky outside with tender inside/meat). My issue was with how bland the sandwich was. The chicken and coleslaw topping was flavorless. Now if they had some form of sauce to go along with the sandwich, it would be very good. Also, wish they would have toasted the bun and let the chicken to rest after frying, as the buns were a bit soggy due to the oily from the chicken. The Rainbow Roll and Caterpillar Roll were way overpriced for the amount given. They didn't taste bad but weren't anything special either, and cost $13, $14 for 6 small pieces each. Service/Experience: 4 stars Clean/modern interior with plenty of seating inside and parking outside. They are still doing some construction on the outside but they are open. No issues/problems with the service, as they took our orders in the front and the food was ready in a reasonable time. Wish their menu had descriptions of each item (however they have so many items - which can be good and bad). read more

I really like the atmosphere of this spot, and that it's a great meetup spot. There are also plenty of options on the menu for people to take a look at, ranging from Korean, Japanese, and I believe Vietnamese. There is also plenty of parking surrounding the building, and even parking next to Lotte too. The staff are always super helpful and kind, which is also a great plus. read more

First time here today, this place has an open, relax vibe, food hall concept. We had the rose garden sashimi, special spicy tuna roll, the garlic chicken bites and the spicy jampong. Everything was delicious! Service was great, place was Clean, cashier was helpful. The menu got a little overwhelming, but our cashier was so patient and helpful! There's something for everyone... we'll be back for dessert next time. Oh yeah, we were so hungry and forgot to take pics! read more

Great hang out spot to meet friends. They have a huge menu so lots to try. They basically have everything to satisfy whatever you're craving. They serve a variety of Korean dishes, Japanese bento style items, small snacks like onigiri and seasoned fries. Their noodle soups: ramen, udon, jiampong and pho are all good. Sushi here is also good. Didn't love the bao bun or the chicken bites but that's not a deal breaker for me to not come back and keep trying new things. Just noticed recently that they do sell some alcohol items like Sapporo and Drunk Fruit hard seltzer in their drink case. The Semicolon Cafe in there also has coffee, matcha, macarons, sandwiches and some slices of cakes to satisfy your sweet cravings. read more

Tried this place out during their soft opening. Seems like an Asian fusion restaurant that has a variety of different menus. I think one of their main specialties is sushi (which was really good).

Really loving this new Asian food hall! I've been a couple of times now, once during lunch hours and once for dinner, and I've been impressed with the food quality and the cleanliness of the space both times. Perfect for if you're craving some Asian food with a larger group (they've got an EXTENSIVE menu) but don't want the busy/loud atmosphere of other food halls in the area. Loved their bao buns in particular and their sushi/sashimi, which is very reasonably priced for the DMV and comes with huge portions of fish. Their jjambbong was also packed with seafood and better than some of the other Chinese-Korean places I've been in the area. The owners were also super friendly and very helpful in trying to figure out what to order. It looks like they're going to be opening some dessert options too. Definitely try out Tilly Kitchen! read more

I've been here a few times now and only once was I semi disappointed of the food being on the dry side. I love the menu selection, the open space concept and the detail in presentation. I find during the weekend and during lunch is when you will receive fresh food. I'm leaning more on 3 1/2 stars, but for the sake of their uniqueness of a cafe, I'm giving them a 4. read more

Nice open floor plan- it feels kind of like a mini food hall. Ordered the Spicy Tuna Onigiri, which was not bad! I like the overall vibe. I'll need to come back and try more things on the menu, which from what I saw, is quite extensive and seems like there are a lot of tasty dishes on there. read more

I went here for their soft opening and ordered the jjajangmyun, okonomiyaki, and salmon roe onigiri. The salmon roe onigiri is pretty good. I must admit the flavor was new to me, but after the first bite, i loved. I will definitely come back for their other flavors (the crispy eel onigiri sound nice) The okonomiyaki is okay but to be honest I've been craving for one since I had one last in 2018 in the cherry blossom festival so this was a crave buy so i might be biased here. It's okay to satisfy a craving but nothing special, but I haven't tasted a really amazing/authentic okonomiyaki so you've been warned. The jjajangmyun is awesome. I ordered my food to go and made the mistake of not mixing the noodles well with the sauce, which they did not skimp on. Like half of the bowl is sauce, which im not complaining about. The sauce is flavorful but not overpowering so it's a bowl of jjajangmyun that you won't get tired of. The place is spacious and seems like a good place to eat with friends and will definitely bring mine in. Please take note, they're in the soft opening phase so there's a bit of wait for the food to come out. read more
