"Our meal started off with a pair of appetizers Hwe fried chicken. The chicken was highly recommended by the waiter as a house specialty.We were quite curious how they would prepare the Hwe (Korean for sashimi), with the listed veggies. Boy were we disappointed when we were delivered the generic tuna tartare in a ring mold. A far cry from any Korean sashimi preparation I've ever seen.We then confronted the fried chicken, which I would describe as too sweet, undercooked and over sauced. Korean fried chicken is an institution one which Americans have been fortunate to delve into with the likes of the Chi Mc (Burke is my fav) and Bonchon chains in NoVA. This was neither.At this point, we also ordered some makkoli (750ml Korean rice wine) to go with our meal. It was, inexplicably served in a tea pot. For makkoli, this is problematic you have to shake the makkoli to get the sediment into the makkoli. Difficult when it is in a teapot. You also can't tell how much is left, it was odd, and took quite a bit of space on the small table.Having finished the appetizers, we were presented with our banchan (traditional small plates which accompany a meal), which you, dear reader are expected to order and pay for separately an unexpected twist. In Korean cuisine, these are a mark of pride restaurants compete to present the best, most varied and highest quality banchan included as part of the meal. We ordered a pickled cucumber, kimchi, seaweed salad and chayote pickle. They were pretty good, but the kimchi was a little too sour and lacked umami we speculate it was made with too little fish sauce. Kimchi preference can be very individual, but this was certainly off.The main entries, a ssam board and dak jjim. The dak jjim was well made, and fairly authentic. The sauce tasted possibly store bought, but one of our diners certainly enjoyed it and wants to learn to make it.The ssam board was nice, and when asked we were provided with extra perilla. There could have been a wider selection on the board, but this was pretty good and the beef was well cooked.Our waiter was attentive and the food service was prompt.If you are looking for a hip DC night spot to take a date this place has the atmosphere for sure. If you are looking for good Korean food, just go to Annandale."

Really good food. Amazing service. The mango meringue pie was extremely good. Didn't look very pleasing, but looks are

Delicious food and great service to conclude our visit to DC! Loved the cozy vibe of this place too. Perfect for a low key date night too.

Anju is in my top 10 of DC brunches. The spicy chicken sandwich packs a giant punch in heat and protein. Doesn't matter what you get, it's gonna be ? ?

Good restaurant. We enjoyed the Mandu, Kare Bokkeumbap and Mango Meringue Pie. The Honghap Tang could have used more flavor but was still decent. Average service. Voir le carte

We went on a Saturday night with no reservations and only had to wait about 30-40 minutes. Their Chikin was one of the best Korean fried chicken meals I’ve ever had. Everything from drinks to food to service was absolutely amazing.

I love this restaurant. One of my favorite Korean restaurants and my favorite dumplings. The diner is really good and the price affordable. My little baby did no like much the food so I ate her dinner too hahaha. I gave it 4 stars because the service is ok+. It is really busy as well so you better do your reservation before you go.

Anju was definitely five stars. The service was great and the food was amazing. It's a nice restaurant that has a good amount of seating including our door seating. The menu is really good everyone got something different at my table and there were no complaints. I'll definitely be stopping in again to see what new stuff chef angel has added to the menu.

Anju is not the *most authentic* Korean place and it’s not meant to be. It offers a variety of dishes in a more fun, upscale way with less spicy and more sweet profile than the very traditional Korean places.The presentation of each dish is great, and the portion sizes are also quite large. We finished every bite.We loved all the side dishes, especially the lotus root.

Each dish had its own unique flair while maintaining its authenticity. I highly recommend the mandu; it seemed that almost every table ordered it during our visit. The spicy seafood noodles packed quite a punch—if you're not comfortable with spicy food, I'd suggest skipping it, but if you are, you'll absolutely love it. Due to COVID restrictions, they only opened their bar seating area, which wasn't the most comfortable, but I believe the delicious food made it worth sacrificing a bit of comfort.
