I was in the mood for Korean food so we decided to try the Korean Grill after reading all the good reviews for it online. The restaurant is in a strip mall in Woodbridge, Virginia near a car wash and a pizza place. Another drawing card was the fact it was billed as a âmom and popâ operation. On the window by the entrance door, we learned the restaurant is used as a place of worship (I assume on the weekend). Hymnals and other religious type books were on a book shelf. Christian music was playing while we dined. The decor is very plain but the restaurant is clean.We were welcomed by âmomâ who said we could sit anywhere. There were no others in the restaurant. I guess timing was not right - too late for lunch and a bit early for dinner for most people. âMomâ was very pleasant and willingly explained and answered my questions about some of the menu items. I tried to order from the lunch menu but she pointed to the top corner of the menu where the lunch hours were listed and directed me to the dinner section of the menu. Once we placed our order, we were served what the Koreans call banchan, five different little dishes, mostly spicy, including marinated bean sprouts, kimchi (fermented napa cabbage and spices), cucumber kimchi, cubed radish kimchi, glass noodles, and a plate of lettuce with dressing. Did you know barchan is served in odd numbers because even numbers are considered bad luck? Now, for the entrees. My husband had the Pork Doenjang Jjigae, a soybean paste stew made with pork, kimchi, and tofu. He said it was very bland and did not like it at all. In came in a pot that was sizzling. I ordered the Bibimbap, the Korean rice bowl with beef, vegetables and fried egg. The entree comes in a hot pot (for a slightly higher price) or in a bowl. Little did I know the food was served cold except for the rice which was served in a small covered container. This entree was okay cold but I think if I order it again I would opt for the hot pot. Mine came with a bowl of Miso soup which I found to be too salty for my taste.Portion size was small in relation to the cost of the entrees. My husbandâs meal was $9.95 and mine cost $10.95. Lunch boxes were priced more reasonably but I cannot speak to the portion size. We did not order drinks, only water. Prices for dinner ranged from $9.95 to $29.95. Overall, my husband gave his entree a one star and I would give mine a three stars.Not sure if we'll try it again.

Stopped in here before going to Heroic Alewerks trivia night. I even mentioned I was going to another place.Ordered 20pi tenders, potstickers and tofu bibimbap with no radish side. they no longer have brown rice (disappointing) but what really upset us was there was NO napkins and a guy at the table next to us at Heroic SOLD us ONE fork for $2.NOTHING to eat with. It was a togo order and nothing to eat with! I even had to PAY for a fork just so we didn't have to eat the bibimbap with our HANDS!THANKS......NOT!

Since Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) became a âthingâ here, Bonchon has been the clear leader and most ubiquitous, which outlets popping up everywhere. Some are better than others (see my review of the Bonchon in Manhattan). Bonchon in Woodbridge is clearly one of the outlets that reinforce the chainâs good reputation.My son and I had lunch here last week, diving as usual into an order of (mis-named) pot stickers and the garlic-soy wings. I went with rice and pickled daikon as sides, my son stuck with fries. Everything was spot-on. Their version of pot sticker is actually deep-fried, more akin to deep-fried gyoza or mandoo than what we normally see as a pot sticker, steamed then pan fried. But regardless of the name, they were great ... crisp, tasty, and well-fried, with no lingering grease. The wings also were delicious, we stripped them all to the bone.Prices are reasonable, and the service was ideal ⦠attentive but not hovering. Weâll be back.
