LOVE this place soooo much! They have wonderful kimbap and the tastiest ramen noodles with three dumplings. This is the perfect combo if two people want to eat just a little. These two dishes are good to share and must-try! I can eat their kimbap EVERYDAY

Go away, already to busy. Bulgogi kimbap is worth the price point, sad they're closed on Tuesdays.

Very large portions! You can share probably mostly meals between 2-3 people. I would also call these jumbo kimbap and are expertly rolled without a ton of excessive rice. Ingredients in the kimbap are all familiar and for us we don't miss the perilla that is common in a lot of kimbap. The anchovy stock is really pleasant. If you get the dolsot maybe save some broth to mixed with the scorched rice bottom. The whole fried chicken was a nice treat to bring home. They leave vent holes to make sure the chicken doesn't steam too much. I know we should've ordered tteokguk for the new year but cravings you know.... I know this sounds strange to say, but they REALLY cook here. The full kitchen in the back means things are cooked fresh. At other spots I'm not sure how much is just heated from frozen H-Mart. After trying many of the kimbap spots in NoVA this is my favorite spicy tuna. I will come back to try more. Everything was super friendly. You don't need to speak Korean. Next time we'll probably order more noodle dishes.

These are the largest most filling kimbap (gimbap) I have ever seen. I thought the ones I usually get at H-mart were quite plump already but these definitely beat those. There is weight to the roll and no, it is not mostly rice. There is actually more filling than rice; I got the beef roll and it was filled with radish, crab stick, carrots, spinach and ample amount of beef. The seaweed glistened with I believe sesame oil, it wasn't soggy and held together well. The rice was not mushy, you could still tell each grain from each other and it had flavor that wasn't bland. All the ingredients complimented each other well and nothing over - powered each other. I also got Dduk-bokki with it as I always like to dip my kimbap in the sauce. The rice cakes were perfectly cooked, nice amount of chew without being mushy. It had fish cakes, veggies and an egg. The sauce was balanced between sweetness and spice, it also was the perfect thickness that it stuck to the rice cakes. Sometimes sauces can be very watery and this was not that. The service was very quick and they also offered complimentary anchovy soup with the meal. They will ask whether you want the soup and if you get two rolls, they will ask whether you want them in the same container or separate. My boyfriend went recently and said that they were quite busy so there was a bit of a wait for our take out order, however, they made up for it by giving two free cans of soda. The ambiance inside is similar to cafeteria style where you get a booth and can hang out with friends. I would come back with friends and order a variety of things to snack on while catching up on tea. It can be easily missed if not paying attention as the outside sign says Korean deli, but the delicious smells will redirect you to find it.

Delicious Korean food and the service is always great! My husband and I usually share beef and tuna Kimball and always love it. Their spicy rice cake dish is good too. Space is a big small inside. All booth seating so not the most kid friendly place. Takeout is always an option.

Tried this place on a Friday for lunch and it was busy! There is a lot of parking in this plaza. The restaurant itself is sort of hidden and it says Korean deli on the outside. When you go inside, it's a cozy restaurant with maybe seating for 10-12 parties/tables. We ordered the bibimap, two diff kinds of kimbaps, and donkastu. all the food were very generous portions! The bibimap was good, but the mushrooms were a little rubbery. The regular beef kimbap was really good and slightly better than the spicy pork one. The donkastu tasted like comfort food! I'd return to try some of their other menu items!

Love me some good street food. I have never been disappointed with myung ga. My boyfriend always orders their donkatsu and it's delicious. Good portions! I've had their ramyun in store and it satisfied my urgent craving but.. just make it at home and take the kimbap home. This is the perfect combo to have while watching your a favorite tv show alone or with a friend ;) I've tried their udon as well and it was standard. I would still order it if I were in the mood. They don't have much seating so there's always a wait but I've never waited more than 20 mins. If it takes longer than that- just go somewhere else or order takeout. Overall, just try this place.

I've been coming to this small Korean restaurant for years now. I love everything on the menu. The staff is always very friendly and kind. I like eating here because the food is delicious and it is always clean. The prices have increased significantly in the last 2 years but the portions have stayed the same so it is worth the price. Event though the restaurant is small and it is always busy, the service is very fast.
