(Previously reviewed in 2009 and 2006.)
This is now clearly the best Korean place around. The broiled fish and the bibim bap are better than in any of the competitors. Everything here just tastes better, the vegetables too. Mostly soups, stews, and noodles, no barbecue or porridge. Quite small, very mom and pop. The lines start early, and they don’t take reservations, nonetheless I would say that half of your Annandale visits should involve eating at this place.
