Hang Ari

We had their mixed (beef and seafood) soondubu and overall it was alright. Not the best, but decent soondubu. I got the soondubu combo with the fried croaker and wasn't a fan of the fish. Honestly wish I had gotten the mackerel, but that's on me.Maybe I'll try their kalguksu one day, since I see there are many positive reviews for it.Service and staff were great! Friendly and the wait wasn't that long. Restaurant is conveniently located in a plaza with several other businesses, with plenty of parking.

Another casual Korean restaurant with traditional dishes. Side dishes include bean sprout, spicy cucumber, and kimchi. Bibim Naengmyeon 7.3/10- topped with pickled radish, thin cucumber slices, beef slices, and a boiled egg- also comes with a small bowl of soup - refreshing after a hot day out- not spicy at all, but still flavorful Service was below average and were very stingy with refilling the side dishes. They were reluctant to give us more when we asked whereas other Korean restaurants have no problem with this. Leftover containers also cost .50 here. It's an OKAY spot for Korean food, but there are plenty of others to choose from.

Hang Ari was (kind of) on our way back to Nova and we wanted some kalguksu or something soupy during this cold and wet Sunday afternoon. We arrived around 2 PM and there was still a good amount of people in the restaurant enjoying their meal.GOB CHANG SOONDUBU - 13.95 (L), 14.95 (D)My friend who's been to Hang Ari many times said her favorite item from the menu was the gob chang soondubu. And yes, I can attest to this being very good and comforting. I asked for mild spice (definitely could have done a bit more) and the broth was flavorful. The gopchang was washed pretty thoroughly so it didn't feel too sandy or anything. The tofu was passable -- definitely very store-bought in terms of taste and texture. Either way, this soondubu really hit that afternoon and I'd recommend.Overall, food was good but the service is slow and not the most responsive. We enjoyed our food for the most part and people seemed to like their clam kalguksu here!

3.5 rounding to 4Hang Ari is a good spot for Korean comfort food - grill meats, bibimbap, kalguksu, you name it. Not the most amazing food but it hits the spot. Banchan is a decent variety - mostly pickled items. We order the spicy grilled pork (well seasoned, came out on a hot plate, and very tender) and clam kalguksu (we actually had a good number of clams in ours).I agree service isn't great but honestly I've rarely great service at a mom and pop Korean restaurant in the US.

The food was delicious, and the service was excellent. This was my second visit, and it was just as enjoyable as the first!

A small Asian restaurant when you want something that is tasty but not fancy. They have no coffee or tea and several things on Yelp are no longer served. I tried to order several things that looked good on Yelp only to be told they don't have that anymore. We ended up ordering several items like a tapas restaurant and simply try it all. Everything was OK but not great. Bathrooms are not maintained and filthy when we visited.

Amazing service and food. New owners and managements. The dumplings are handmade. Soondubu is perfect. Cold noodles were excellent as was the pancake. Great service and atmosphere.

Hang Ari has some of the best Korean comfort food in the area. Prices are reasonable and service is really quick. I stopped by on a busy Sunday evening. The place was packed and people were piling in. I love how they have the service button so you can push if you need assistance. My friend and I shared the seafood, beef Soondubus and the spicy pork stir fried Jeyook Bokkeum. Food quality was on point. The stir fried pork was not spicy at all. It came out on a hot sizzling skillet. The sauce was on point! Well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Soondubus are a must order. My seafood one came with some large prawns and clams. You can customize your spice level as well. Prices are fair here and I left full. Parking is really easy to find in the shopping center. They do not accept reservations at this time. I really enjoyed my experience here. Its wholesome Korean comfort food at reasonable prices. I even saw some people eating alone. Thats when you know the place is bomb. There is a wide variety of seafood and meat dishes to choose from. There is plenty of seating for small to large parties. The restaurant is a bit loud with people talking over each other. I'll definitely be back to try their galbi dishes.

Edwin & Jacqueline Lee. Edgewater, MDMy wife and I are couple "Foodies" before the word became one. We live about 30 min south of Annapolis, MD. We travel to northern VA, Manhattan, Flushing NY, South Korea and other areas for the search of good authentic Korean food. We eat out at least twice a week. And out of hundreds Korean restaurants we have been to, HangAri is our top 3 restaurants, better than some of the Michelin star and Beards Award restaurants we've been to. We would drive more than an hour just to eat there. My wife was a chef and she told me that her last meal would be at the HangAri!

Fabulous food and service. I ordered the soon doo boo and mackerel combo, which is simply the best I've eaten in the Maryland-Virginia vicinity. Cooked to perfection and served with a smile. These people really LOVE to cook and enjoy preparing the food, it's so evident when you eat it. I would highly recommend this new ownership.
