Amazing! I ordered to go and was really in it for the Galbi which was great but the Galbi tang stole the show! Very well flavored with great cuts of meat that weren't too large and with just enough fat content. I need to go in to rate the restaurant itself but they definitely delivered on service and take out!
I have a high expectation for Korean food because I grew up with it. I got the beef soondubu and my husband and dad got the soondae and pork gukbap. The soondubu was not that good tbh... but the service was great and my dad and my husband both loved their gukbaps, and I thought it was good too!
Ordered the bossam and while it came out incredibly fast, they gave us three, not kidding, three slices of cabbage to wrap them in. Waited fifteen minutes to receive more on the side after I put in a request with the waiter. Why did food influencers hype this place up last year? The bathrooms are in dilapidated condition too. There are better options out there.
OPEN 24 HOURS?!??? YEAH, THIS IS A GO-TO LATE NIGHT SPOT. * Price: Most items on the menu average around $20. I usually get the Soondubu Jjigae with noodles, which is $17. * Food: I ordered the mild Soondubu Jjigae and it's such a comforting dish. I'd recommend getting the regular size if you're eating by yourself because the larger bowl is HUGE. I'd also recommend sharing other menu items like the galbi or seafood pancake with friends. * Cleanliness/Setting: Very casual, at home vibes. Nothing upscale. It can get pretty lively when it's packed. * Service: If there's a big EDM show or event happening, expect a long wait because this place gets busy. Once you're seated, the food comes out fairly quickly. There isn't much interaction beyond ordering and paying, but everything moves fast and efficiently.
We've been to Tosokchon Korean Restaurant multiple times already, and you could say it's one of our favorite Korean spots. The fact that they're open 24/7 is such a huge plus, we can come anytime we're craving Korean food! In our opinion, they serve some of the best authentic Korean food in the Annandale area. Their kimchi is especially delicious and full of flavor. This time, we ordered the spicy tofu soup (both seafood and beef) and bibimbap, and everything tasted amazing, comforting, flavorful, and very satisfying. We highly recommend Tosokchon to anyone looking for authentic Korean food, and we'll definitely keep coming back in the future!
After a night out, we were looking for some good food and something soupy. This place is open 24 hours and has a pretty large menu for all your Korean cravings (even at 2AM). We got the tofu soup and clam noodle soup which were both pretty good. These were not the best we've had but were a decent portion and definitely hit the spot. Decent spot that has good food at all hours of the day. Entrees: Beef Tofu Soup and Clam Noodle Soup
This spot is a good go-to place for comfort korean food. Their menu is pretty large and offers many korean classic dishes including stews, noodles, appetizers, etc. and always has good portions for the price. I especially love getting their cold noodles, although it's only served seasonally around June - September. I do think some of the stews tend to lack a bit of flavor and feels a bit watered down at times. Overall it's a very humble, no-frills experience and service is quick and efficient.
It's been years since I went to tosokchon so didn't realized they had moved to a larger location! Service was prompt and helpful. Food was spot on and reliable as always. The new space is pretty big and they have an efficient take out system.
Not bad. Came on a weekday for lunch, very good service, not that many people so it was quiet. Loved the pickled radishes, not a big fan of the kimchi. Really liked the hot rice tea they served, one of the better ones I've had, super aromatic and soothing, at a good temperature. Dolpan bibimbap was really hearty -- lots of different vegetables and it was cooked well. I really enjoyed this dish. Bossam wasn't my favorite. The pork was a bit thinly sliced and the pork wasn't as fatty or tender as I'd like. The accompaniments to the pork weren't that great. Seafood pancake was packed with seafood, and it was a super large portion. It was a bit on the greasy side however. Overall, place was pretty good. Surprised I've never noticed it because I've been in the shopping center many times for Iron Age and Shilla's.
Great spot for late night vibes! I always get their galbi, it's tender and falls right off the bone! The service is good, and will give you more rice if you need it. The water tastes different like rice water, and I love it!
Was craving some Korean food for lunch at work so decided to Uber eats at this location. I ordered the bulgolgi bibimbap and my friend a tofu stew. I loved my bibimbap but my friend felt her stew was a bit too spicy. Service takes awhile, my food took over an hour to make and deliver so be thoughtful about ordering ahead if you have a short lunch break. Will have to visit the actual location sometime to get a sense of the vibe but would definitely order again.
Tosokchon is a very casual Korean restaurant with a nice selection of entrees and appetizers. The portions were a good size and the service was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the scallion pancake for an appetizer and the bibimbop and the kimchi stew with beef. We would definitely return to order those again. Though there is not much in the way of décor, the space is clean and the tables are comfortable. There is a parking lot right out front.
3.5 stars. Open 24/7. Many a times I had to figure out what tk eat at 2:30 am and I wanted beef! Look no further, they are open all the time! The seasoning on their meats are excellent and generous portions. The banchan selection (accompanying sides) are quite limited when I ate and only got kimchi and pickled daikon. The service usually seems off-putting since the times I went I always had to either ask for something twice or remind them about what we requested earlier.
I had to double back on this place! The food was excellent and the portions were big. Service was great, our waitress made sure we were comfortable and kept our drinks filled. The place packed but all the staff stayed on top of it. read more

Great authentic Korean restaurant!! The vibe was immediately Korean and the interior reminded me of the restaurants back home. The portions are really big (especially the 칼국수) and I loved the 제육. They understand Korean so it was also great being able to order in Korean! read more

This is one of old school Korean family own looking restaurant. Their menu is large but not overwhelming. Looks like a good amount of soup and rice dishes. Their service is straight forward where they take your order, deliver your food and fill water when needed. It was not very busy when we ate on Friday night. We got Galbi Tang, DookBaeKi Bulgogi, Dolpan Bibimbap, Jaeyuk Bokkeum and a LA Galbi to share. The Galbi Tang soup is subtle but hardy tasting. It would be excellent for a cold day. The DookBaeKi was an unexpectedly sweet base soup. First time trying it so guessing that is how it is. The Bibimbap has a lot of vegetable than normal. The stone bowl is wider than usual making it easier to mix everything together. The Jaeyuk has a good amount of meat but for me it was more shredded than I would like. The LA Galbi has a generous amount of meat. Maybe I have not gone to a traditional Korean restaurant as I miss the side dishes that one gets at BBQ K restaurants. They only have 2 dishes. A pickled radish dish and Kimchi dish. There are more dishes to try if/when we go back. read more

We went adventurous and ordered the steamed ox knee which was a rare find. The portion was big and the quality was very good. Later on my Korean friend told me this is very popular among Korean people. Soondae was OK but not the best I've had in Annadale. Service was mediocre. We had a difficult time communicating with the staff because they all barely spoke English -- a sign that this is an authentic place. read more

For a restaurant that prides on their 24-hour service, the food is hot, well-spiced, and service was fast. My friend and arrived at midnight and the restaurant, at first, had few available tables by the time we left, all tables were filled. It's a definite hotspot for locals who have kept it a secret. read more

Food: 2/5 Service: 2/5 Really just a 24/7 late night food place. It's popular for its location but the food was mid. Got a noodle dish that came out looking very disappointing as compared to the image on the menu. It was also not flavorful at all. I ended up adding bibimbap sauce and kimchi juice into the broth to make it at least a bit flavorful. The broth originally just tasted like water with gochugaru. Bulgogi was the only good flavorful dish. Comes on a hot plate stir fried with onions and a bowl of rice. The bibimbap was mainly a veggie rice bowl. Nothing special. Ambiance was pretty loud but I did come on a Saturday night so it's expected for a late night place. Lots of groups and parties of Koreans. As for service I was honestly thrown off with our waitress. An older Korean ahjumma, maybe not much English spoken but lots of attitude. I did not enjoy my ordering process at all because of the lack luster attitude I received when I had questions about some of the foods. read more
Tosokchon is always a great choice, no matter the time of day. On my most recent visit, I ended up there around 3 a.m. after hanging out in Clarendon. My friends and I were a little tipsy and craving some warm Korean soup. We ordered the Seafood Pancake and Sundubu; Sundubu is perfect when you're trying to sober up (or just need a hangover cure). It was pretty busy, but we didn't have to wait too long for a table. If you're in the mood for a late-night bite, I definitely recommend Tosokchon. read more
My friends and i came here around 12 am for a late night meal and it did not disappoint. The servers attended us quickly and offered water and the food came out fast as well. We ordered the galbi, bulgogi, and fried dumplings which were all delicious and perfect shareable plates!! It was 3 of us and we didn't quite finish but it sure was a lot of food which was nice considering the prices are a little higher. read more

Yum! Dined here with a party of 7 including a 1 year old and 3.5 year old and we all had a great dinner! The servers were friendly and on top if brining out the food as it was hot and ready. So food arrived mostly at the same time but some in the group had to wait a little longer than others for their food. Some stand-outs for food: Japchae Mandu Spicy pork bulgogi Beef bulgogi The place is clean inside with a buzzer to call the server over when you need her. The place has a beautiful mural on one wall in the back which is fun to look at. Will be back for some of the wonderful Korean food! read more
Great place to eat Korean food! Best place for midnight munchies or late night meals. Opened 24/7!! Isn't that crazy?? I don't know any good hearty places that are opened every hour of the day and week. Such good comfort warm Korean food here that makes me happy. I've come here on multiple occasions at like 2-4 am and i've never been disappointed. Recommendations: * seafood or kimchi pancake- good savory appetizer that's super crispy and yummy. usually four large slices per pancake/size. * galbitang- nice savory beef broth that really tastes like home. comes salted and seasoned well and has glass noodles inside. * kimchi stew- nice serving with about three pork ribs and healthy heap of stewed kimchi. very comforting and yummy. * soondae bokkeum or spicy pork feet- these large shareable dishes are so yummy. saucy, spicy, somewhat sweet. just so delicious... * honorable mentions: soondaeguk/gukbab- my parents used to drive 40 minutes always to this place for this soup. highly rec! water is self serve, food comes out relatively quick. service is good and fast. never had a bad experience. lots of tables inside to accommodate. very happy and never leave sad. I wouldn't recommend the soondubu just because all the other dishes are so good. I've also never went wrong with any of the following: kalguksus, kimchi jigae, chicken stew, and mandoo guk. read more
A 24/7 Restaurant is a gem of itself but does it make the experience any better? I went with my group of friends as it was nearing close to midnight. We looked up places to go to that were open that wasn't iHop and this place showed up in our search. Luckily it was just right across the street from where we were so we were eager to try this place out. When we walked in, it was pretty quiet but there were a few patrons there. We were seated immediately along with these giant laminated menus on the table. I forgot to take a picture of the menu but they have various options; most of them consisting of soups. I ended up getting Myeongdong Kalguksu, as it was my first time trying it out. Myeongdong Kalguksu is a soup where the noodles are knife-cut along with dumplings that come along with the dish. Personally I really like this dish. You get a lot of noodles and I think these noodles soak in the flavor of the soup really well. It was a tad salty that might be something on me. My main issue here was the service; I guess the staff just seem really dismissive after they took our orders and went up to the counter to hang out. We had to get up and get our waters and napkins. When we went to check out, we were asked to tip. Now I get that people need to make a living wage and that's fine and all but we were left unattended. I don't want to compare this to restaurants where service is a part of the experience but I just want to note if you go here, do not expect them to constantly come back and forth if you need something. You do have to flag them down which is easier in my opinion. Come here for sure if you want late night food where you don't have to worry about the place closing. I want to try more of this place for sure; maybe my next experience will be better in the future. read more

Open 24/7 is absolutely insane for anything other than fast food. There's a good amount of seating and they also accommodate large parties. I ordered the sundubu jjigae (tofu soup) with medium spice and it was solid! Not the best in the area, but it hits the spot in a pinch. It's not nearly spicy enough, if at all, so I would up the spice level next time I'm here. There's not much to say about this place, it's a solid Korean restaurant with a wide variety of dishes! read more

I like the food. I love the hours. I will say some of the dishes did not have the strong flavor I am used to. The soondae was not my favorite dish here. The kimchi chigae is very good! I would highly recommend that. The ban chan is pretty nominal, kimchee and radish. The pajeon and the mandu were so crispy and delishes. read more
