Choong Hwa Won

We went as a family of 6. It was bustling as usual and our food arrived quick. Make sure to check out seasonal specials on the walls. The black bean sauce noodles were better than a lot of other spots in the area. I also got spicy squid and it was delicious. They don't skimp on ingredients or amount so come hungry!The jjampong seafood soup was just the right amount of spicy. Nothing was incredibly great but better than average. The interior needs a serious facelift but I guess the rundown look is part of its charm? So I won't take a star off for that.

TL;DR- consistently good Korean Chinese food! Been here over 5 times over the past couple of years! I love this homey spot! It definitely doesn't look fancy on the outside but the food quality is always consistent. If you've never tried Korean black bean noodles (jajangmyeon) I recommend this spot! Tip: Get the Gan- Jajangmeyon instead of the regular jajangmeyon.The sauce and noodles come in a separate bowl and you get a lot more onions, meat, etc.

WHAT I ATE - VIRGINIA@ Choong Hwa Won,Annandlae, VAhttps://www.youtube.com/@whatiate2000?sub_confirmation=1Weekend dinner at Chong Hwa Won, had a simple bonchon presentation, Kimchee, Takuan (yellow, pickled radish) and Pickled Turnip. If you consider the raw onion petals and thick soy sauce as a bonchon, so be it.The fried Mandu was crispy and filled with ground pork with a soy dipping sauce on the side that can be spiced up with jalepeno. The Sweet & Sour Pork, was also very crunchy and not too greasy. It had the Sweet and Sour sauce with chunks of red and green sweet bell peppers on the side. It went well with a bowl of white rice. It's nice to be able to control how mch sweet sauce is on the crispy pork.My wife an I shared a Beef Fried Rice with Korean Black Spaghetti (ja Jang Moon) which gets it's color and umami flavor from Fermented Black Beans. The rice had a few shreds of beef in it, as did the black spaghetti. Tasty and simple.We're usually able to get a table, even during very busy times. The wait staff speak English and can describe some of the menu items.This is one of our go-to spots when we don't feel like cooking and don't want an overly fancy Korean meal.VIDEO LINK:https://youtube.com/shorts/yApfInCWaKA

Best beef tangsuyuk in the DMV area. Perfectly crunchy and good portion size. Perfect sauce too. Jjajangmyun and jjampong were reliable. Not like AMAZINF but still good. Solid place to come for traditional Korean Chinese food. Good prices and relatively fast service. Comes with typical Korean side dishes (pickles radishes, onion, etc).Interior is traditional restaurant with plentiful seating. Workers speak Korean and English! Busy on the weekends, many Korean families come here.

The jjajangmyun was fantastic! My boyfriend's pork fried rice looked pretty good, too. The prices are way more reasonable than other places we went to for this trip. Service was really good and the banchan were delicious.Ambiance was family friendly!

Authentic Noodle dishes. The portions are generous and the service was prompt and friendly. The food is Chinese Korean so not the mainstream bbq that most people associate with Korean restaurants. The jjambong was spicy, flavorful and full of seafood. The ja jang myon was just the right consistency and flavor. This was served with raw onions and radish in vinegar to eat along your ja Jang myon. These dishes are traditionally seafood and pork and there are little to no deviations of it on the menu. If you want plain noodles or rice, that's about all there will be if you're not pork or seafood friendly. Just be warned. Keep in mind, that's how it's intended to be prepared so if you're up for that, try it out! It's great! That's what this place is known for. Lots of 4 top tables and on a normal day I imagine it quite busy. Not too loud however not a place for a large group to sit around and chat. You eat and then you get out so others can get their food :). We happened to pop in after a snow storm so it was empty. They do offer a lunch combo of half ja jang myon and Jjambong which was a generous amount to be able to try both classics. We also had the fried dumplings which were handmade and fried fresh. Tasty as well.

We had a quick dinner in this place. When you enter the restaurant you will feel immediately the changed of ambiance in a good way, I feel like we were really in Korea. It is also really nice to have people around who speaks the language and also can easily converse in English. The food was pretty homey. We had a hot stone bibimbap and a jjampong with sweet and sour pork. The side dish was also amazing. Love the place and the vibes.

We came here intentionally. It is in a different elevated area than the rest of the strip mall restaurants, so you can't end up here by accident. 1. Parking - ample spot right outside 2. Service - pushy, awkward. made us uncomfortable. She grabbed $20 bill from my hand as I was going through my wallet after she herself made a mistake and didn't choose tips on her device. This new trend is terrible. The waiter just waits and stares at you and never gives you a paper check, but hands over in their terminal. hated this! 3. Food is okay. bulgogi - terrible. The whole point of marinating means it gets soft and tender! It's tough here. jjajangmyeon - one of few authentic places that provide this dish and it is goodsoup - okay 4. ambience: typical wooden decor, not so comfortable chairI'd recommend just do take-out. don't bother eating in.

I came here craving some Korean food, and this place definitely did not disappoint.Food - the miso soup was very thick and rich to my liking, and the bulgogi was also pretty good. Service - good, they are very friendlyParking - there is a parking lot outsideOverall, this place is great.

Very solid overall. Great for lunch and has a nice variety. Good quality good. Service is good. Inside is clean and nicely decorated.
