Red Holic

Unassuming exterior. Delicious delicious delicious food. Since I moved to the US from Korea 7 years ago, I’ve never been able to find a great bunsik (분식) place. That is, until now. This place is even better than most places in Korea nowadays. We ordered the Holic Sampler + Udon. I was shocked at how tasty everything was. The sundae (순대) isn’t the most typical frozen kind. The 김말이 is clearly made in-house. The fried dumplings were full of filling, and overall the tempura (튀김) was light and very well executed. The kimbap was some of the best I’ve had in the US, with a very generous portion of egg inside. Udon was on-point, I appreciated the addition of 쑥갓 (I wish they gave more, but many places don’t give you any). And on top of it all, this place has great prices compared to other places s

They recently remodeled and updated their menu so definitely stop by if you haven’t in a while! I always get the holic sampler and the udon. (Feeds 3-4 people) They’re soondae is some of the best i’ve had! perfectly steamed, not too strong in flavor, and super fresh. Hits every time 🔥

I went on a Korean food tour in Annandale Virginia visiting K-Town. Our tour guide was Mina with Virginialicious....highly recommended. Red-Holic was the first stop on the tour. The food was delicious. We had the Gimbap/kimbap (seaweed rice roll; they have 10 different types!), tteokbokki (sweet and spicy rice cakes). Dipping the Gimbap/kimbap in the tteokbokki was everything. The food was really good. I definitely recommend!

I loved everything I tried in this restaurant. The food was great! My mouth was on fire from a couple of things here and there, but I didn't mind it at all. Everyone in my company enjoyed the food. Definitely recommend.

Bunsik—Korean for ‘snack food’—has long been a staple of Korean street cuisine, and this restaurant offers a wide variety of those classic dishes. Everything was freshly prepared, a bit spicy, but delicious nonetheless. The tteokbokki, fried dumplings, chicken wings, jjolmyeon, and soondae were all enjoyable. I especially liked the chicken wings—they were juicy and flavorful. The gimbap was generously sized in both diameter and length. A solid spot for authentic Korean street food.
