We used to go to Sik Gaek before management changed, and the place changed A LOT. An iykyk type of place ~ honestly a bit sus on the outside LOL but the inside was cool, giving the classic metal round tables, stools, and red tarp. For a Saturday night, around 7:30pm the place is starting to get busy. When you hit 9:00pm, it gets BUSY busy and quite loud - but honestly, it's still a vibe, we like the energy! For their food, the pork belly and chicken gizzard, and the kimchi, chives, and garlic that came with them were my favorite! Cooked very well, very tasty! We also got the odeng soup, which was also good, but I felt was lacking, compared to what was served previously.

While traveling in Virginia, I loved this place so much that I came back two days in a row. The owner was incredibly friendly and cheerful, and the pocha-style vibe made it even better.

This took the place of the oldie but goodie shik gaek. It was frankly surprising how good everything was here, considering it is known primarily as a bar and looks like it has quite the small kitchen. All the soups we tried were delicious, pancake crispy and good. The pork jowl and shishito peppers were a table favorite. They only item we did not love was the tonkatsu - meat was a bit dry and the sauce came on it which is atypical. Definitely adding this to rotation and can't wait to be back to try other dishes. Staff was attentive.

The only place for the best authentic korean bar experience! The owners make sure you are treated right every time! The food always hits the spot and the vibe hits the mark every time! New menu items are added seasonally to add to the variety all the time!

This is hands down the best Korean food I’ve ever had. Every dish was packed with so much flavor, and everything came out piping hot and fresh. The portions were generous, especially for how reasonable the prices are. It’s also incredibly convenient for a late-night meal after a long night out. So, so good — I’ll definitely be coming back!
