DaMoim

This is our go-to karaoke joint in the DMV. Attentive service, competitive hourly rates, clean rooms, plentiful song selection in multiple languages, and the food isn't too shabby either! Will note that there aren't many options for vegetarians, but that tends to be the case with Korean food in general. We've had an excellent experience every time and will always recommend this place to friends looking for a fun night out!

Found this place with a few friends hidden in Annandale. Great bar and even better service. Food was good and drinks were on point! The bartenders took excellent care of us. Played our favorite songs and put the game on for us too!

Came here at midnight. It's kind of a hole in the wall and hidden at the end of the shopping strip. Some say that the liqueur prices are a bit higher, but for me ambience is generally the kicker for me at these places.I ordered a glass of Macallan which came in a trendy glass which was interesting.I had the:Meat dumplingsFried chicken wingsThe food was ok, but for a bar it was pretty decent.The ambience is nice. You can tell they take a lot of pride in tidying the place up. I'll be back to enjoy some quite late night drinks and explore the food menu further.

I really like this place now and even though it's only my second time, I can see this being one of my go-to spots in Annandale. Our party of 14 people was a bunch of loosely connected aquaintances, and because some people were coming later, it made it easier for everyone to have their own individual bills...on a Saturday evening no less. Our waiter was understandably reluctant with this arrangement, but graciously accomodated us even respectully addressing each person as Mr. or Ms. While this level of respect is customary in the Korean language, it can sound a little over the top in English. So they score very high as far as professionalism and courtesy. So yeah, service was excellent.Now to the food. I ordered their famous galbi tacos and the chicken skewers. The galbi tacos were good, but I thought the chicken skewers were incredibly delicious. Soft tender chunks of chicken were made even more moist and juicy with the sauce slathered all over it. I really hope they are always cooked this way because I'm definitely coming back here for more.I really like the ambiance here and probably caters to a more sophisticated older crowd rather than the just-out-of-college crowd. The music that night or part of it was electronica and listening to the Pet Shop Boys totally livened up the experience. IMO this is probably as good as it gets as far as a Korean bars.

3.5 starsFriendly service, nice decor, and delicious food. The spicy pork taco was the best of the four plates we tried. The meat was tender, not very spicy, but very flavorful. The summer roll was refreshing twist on the traditional Vietnamese version using perilla leaves. The rice paper was soft and tasted like it was freshly rolled. I decided to go light on the firey dipping sauce after the first bite. The sliders and seafood pancake were not bad, but not distinctive enough for me to order again. One major flaw of the fusion food here was that they use super market quality ingredients for the none Korean components, such as store bought tortilla, buns, and yellow American cheese. The tacos could have been so much better if it was assembled more like a taqueria taco than a Taco Bell taco. Same thing could be said for the sliders, a little brioche bun with real aged cheddar could have better compliment the burger and caramelized kimchi.

My friends and I picked a random Korean restaurant in Annandale we hadn't tried before. DaMoim is set up like a bar and I believe it also has karaoke rooms. I don't think it was used to serving actual sit down customers. But the food was very good! My group had Korean tacos, vegetable bibimbap, kimchee fried rice, and super duper fried vegetable dumplings (although I asked for pork/beef). The service came when you needed them (like most asian restaurants), but nothing more (although the waitress saw me struggling to open the to-go bag and helped me out). The place looks a little sketchy from the outside because it's in a corner and there weren't many customers. I'm sure they're more packed on weekends when people use the bar and karaoke rooms (we came on a Tuesday). Food was good though!

Strolled into this spot randomly to have a drink and maybe eat something. We ended up getting, spring rolls and another dish which were pretty tasty. Also, we ended up having just one drink because the whole time the server gave us an uncomfortable vibe. She wasn't too welcoming. Other than the service, the two finger foods were welcoming.

When I dined here on a Wednesday night back in February the dining area was empty. The only patrons were at the bar and seemed to be regulars based on the bartenders knowing their names -- kinda like an Asian version of Cheers, I guess. The atmosphere was laid back with its dimly lit interior, making for a quiet meal.Service was friendly and quick, considering I was the only diner. The meal started off with some pretty tasty banchan. I barely made my way through those dishes before my order of spring rolls ($5) showed up. The order consisted of four tiny rolls filled with crab, shrimp, and vegetables.My entree was their galbi dolsot bibimbop ($12). My favorite part of this classic dish is always the crust at the bottom formed by the crispy rice, but this version was lacking in that regard. It was also lacking in veggies and could have benefited from a bolder galbi flavor. The meat itself was tender and plentiful, but a better ratio among all the ingredients would have made for a better dish.

We had a nice lunch here. We had Bul-dog quesadilla, kimchi quesadilla, galbi tacos, and mandoo. All were very tasty. We were the only people here for Saturday lunch so the service was good and the place was quiet.This is at the back of a strip mall so it's a little difficult to see from the street.

This place is fantastic! I really wasn't looking for Korean fusion, but they had classics on their menu as well, so we gave it a try.All I can say is: GREAT!The food was great. The service was hospitable. The lighting and decor are modern (not a criticism) but the music was classic jazz, perfect in the background.We had seafood bibimbop, and it was delicious. Plenty of mussels, small cuts of shrimp and calamari. We had spring rolls, which were almost too big for an appetizer. I had the Galbi Tacos which were completely delicious. A great blend.Prices were very good.We did not do karaoke, but it's available.Yes, I'm a real customer. Usually surly too. But I don't want to see this place go away, it's a gem.
