There are few other Korean restaurants in Burke (normally they 're in Annandale Centreville) so this is nice to see in the neighborhood. There is ample dine in space, as well as a few outdoor tables. A few of the indoor tables have built in BBQ grills and vent hoods. The Banchan side dishes (included) these are quite delicious here, the kimchi tastes strong *Godeunguh Soup: Grilled Mackerel. Fresh tasting, not smelly , and comes with choices of several soups included (we chose kimchi jigae). Excellent value for the price. *Kimchi Jigae: I have to say the soups here are quite powerful, strong flavored, and authentic tasting. They do not water the flavor down for non Korean customers so I appreciate. *Godeunguh Mujorim: Braised Mackerel with Radish. It 's definitely recommended for people who appreciate more authentic food and not for beginners. This is a simmered dish that isn 't overly brothy. I expected the sauce to be spicy but it 's not it 's just really savory and flavorful. You need to be okay with bone in fish because that 's how the mackerel is served traditional style, however the bones are generally easy to remove and the flavor is guaranteed delicious this way. Texture of the fish is perfect well cooked without completely falling apart. Delicious with the two small sides of white rice as part of the dish. *Tang Soo Yook: Deep fried pork with sweet sour sauce. The sauce is light fruity with either pear or apple pieces, and it 's served on the side of the pork so you can either dip the pork in the sauce or mix it yourself. Delicious but this dish in general is a tad basic for my liking no fault of the restaurant. Quite appropriate for beginners to order though. I will admit the food takes a while to come out and they deliver the banchan with the main entrees unlike many other local Korean restaurants which serve the banchan as appetizers ahead of the entrees. But the service is very friendly warm, and the food makes everything worth it. In terms of preserving authenticity I do think this place puts competitors in Annandale to shame. I 'll definitely be back to try out the BBQ and other dishes.

We, as a family, had been craving some Korean BBQ and were gonna go to Honey Pig originally my sister changed her mind last minute to go somewhere where it was authentic, and not as well known, in order to support small businesses. The ambiance was homey as we walked in; you could tell some locals were in there cutting up with the staff. They knew each other well. Staff sat us immediately, far from everyone else, so social distancing was definitely enforced. We ordered some Soju and ordered some orange beef and pork as our meat and MAN they were both really good, but the beef won out. It was so good that we got a second round (sorry not sorry). The ingredients were fresh and not so condiment ed. My only other experience with Korean BBQ A) i wasn't too hungry and B) it was too heavy on the seasoning for all the sides so, it wasn't my favorite. This really changed my perspective. I will definitely be back again. ALSO my mom, being a mom, told our waitress that it was my sisters birthday and to give her a little something, at the end, she gave us a FREE ROUND OF DUMPLINGS!!!! omg we were so stuffed but it was such a good touch. Perfect crispiness.
