Annangol Restaurant

This is a Korean-style Cheers - a neighborhood restaurant where everyone knows your name! At least that was the case for the older Korean uncles and aunties that were hanging out here (a good sign!). Everyone seemed to know each other, even though they were opposite sides of the room. They roamed around the restaurant and talked to each other like they were at a bar. Many patrons also go to the bakery next door for dessert after eating. It's so cute! I like that this place closes later in the evening. I recently dined here with friends on a cold winter day! We wanted a hot meal to warm us up! I ordered Galbi tang (beef short rib soup - one of my favorite dishes). They gave huge portions of meat and green onion. The huge hunks of meat made it on the heavier side and sinewy parts were quite chewy, but it was all very tasty! My friend ordered BBQ version of galbi (short ribs) - and the dish came with a lot of side veggies you can wrap it in! Nice that they don't skimp on veggies. They also had a lot of variety of banchan side dishes, and we could order extras of whatever we liked. I also ordered hot boricha - barley tea, which arrived in these adorable steel mugs to keep it hot! (Yechon down the street started charging for teas - so I'm glad this place didnt go that route). The waitress was attentive and came back often to make sure we had everything we needed. I saw a sign that they charge a few cents for to-go containers, so keep that in mind if you have leftovers! but they didnt seem to add that to our order!

We had a friend come into town looking for good Korean food. What better place to take her than our very own K-town! This place is great small shop where lots of locals love to eat at. We tried a mix of some of our favorites dishes and every single thing was amazing! The noodles were chewy and refreshing, the Galbi was tender with a nice marinade and the pancake was packed full of veggies and seafood. My only criticism would be on the tofu soup - while flavorful, it was a bit oily for our liking. Service was nice as well. It was a bunch of Korean aunties making sure to take good care of us. Definitely one of the many great Korean spots in Annandale! Apps: Seafood PancakeEntrees: LA Galbi and Spicy Tofu Soup with BeefSides: Naengmyeon (cold buckwheat noodles)

I love annangol for their meat and they have decent lunch special if you like fish and soup. I usually get their spicy pork or LA galbi. This time we got jumuluk and it was delicious. The galbi dolsot bibimbap was good too but I recommend letting the rice at the bottom crisp up more before mixing iykyk.

This place felt pretty authentic. It was mostly filled with Koreans and their families. This is very family style and shareable. The Korean grandma took care of us and checking in. We got the galbi ju mul lui which is really juicy but it was tiny portion for the price and not ayce. I recommend they make a website and update with their menus.

THE place to go to if you're looking for naengmyeon and kogi. Their mak naengmyeon doesn't disappoint and I can easily say that their jumulluk is the best I've ever had - the seasoning is everything. A great casual place to go with friends for a hearty meal.

This is one of my favorite Korean restaurants in Annandale. They have a good selection of soups and stews as well as bbq options that are really tasty. The quality they provide with service and food quality is one of the best in my opinion. I always go back here!

Updated review for Annangol - This time around, the jokbal was a little too chewy. I think the cartilage to meat ratio was a little off, which was disappointing. But still great service and the banchan selection was constant.

The food was a 5/5, but I'm lowering it to a 4/5 because their menu pricing don't reflect how much they actually charge (and they didn't tell us about it). But if you're OK with that, definitely stop by Annangol because the food here is delicious. My friend and I ate dinner here over a year and half ago and we weren't a fam of their mul naengmyeon here. But let me tell you that everything else was super tasty this past Sunday lunch.The banchan were pretty decent. I really enjoyed the beansprouts and thought they were incredibly well-seasoned. Probably the best I've had in the area. Love their fishcakes here. Their kimchi is so incredibly sour and not for me, but other people around me enjoyed it.SO MORI GOOKBAP - 18.99The menu said 16.99, but our receipt said 18.99, FYI. The ox bone soup here is so creamy and flavorful. Like, so, so creamy. And there's so many pieces of ox head meat in here that I was blown away by the generosity. The meat was also so tender. They definitely give you a lot of scallions in the soup, too, you will find a few in every sip of soup. I'd recommend this if you like seolleongtang. I don't really know the difference between that and what I got, but it reminded me of seolleongtang!My friends who got the Jeyuk Deopbap thought it was the best they've had in the area. I had a piece of the jeyuk and it was so flavorful, tender, and juicy. The spicy marinate was spot-on. A couple of my friends got the Mak Naengmyeon (which I debated getting but decided not to because I didn't like the Mul Naengmyeon 1.5 years ago) and I tried the broth and it was so sweet and flavorful. I definitely regret not getting that. A few other friends got the BBQ and thought paying 32.00 for it was worth it. They seemed to have gotten a variety of different meats to try.Overall, I'm open to making Annangol more of a regular food spot with a bigger group of friends. Again, it would be great if they could update their menu pricing to reflect what they charge.

Wow what a find. Honestly this restaurant deserves way more than 3.8 stars. No frills but tasty food. The restaurant is a little small. The food comes out very quickly. We were there on a Sunday during lunch a little before the church rush. Service is good. This restaurant does something with Korean cold noodles that's unique called 'Mak' neng myun which adds some spice to traditionally y spicy cold noodles. This cold noodle is traditionally eaten during summer to cool you down and that's exactly what it did. Highly recommend!

Great experience here. Food and services are phenomena. This is one of my favorite Korean restaurants. It's highly recommended!
