Great place.  Love it.  Parking's even easy in the evenings.

Dude, you gotta hear from me, a Korean....hehe.

There are two places I would recommend; Hee-Bin and Han-Sung-Oak.

Hee-Bin is located right after the west-bound Duke Street exit from 395. It's located within a little shopping center behind the Exxon gas station, which will be on your left hand side right after you get on the Duke Street.  Pretty easy to find.  Foods are excellent, as well as services. Try Nang-Myoun (spicy noodle).

Hang-Sung-Oak is located on the Columbia Pike.  Hmmm...  It's also located in a shopping center.  Well, going from Annandale, you will see a shopping center with a Giant.  The exact adddress is 6341 Columbia Pike. You can't miss it, since the roof is like one of those ancient Asian houses.  Well, just look for a restaurant with an extra-ordinary roof. THeir specialty is "Galbi."

The prices are very reasonable and foods are excellent at both places.

I've been to Woo Lae Oak. It's excellent and VERY authentic.  Most of the diners are Korean. It always scores very high in the Washintonian Magazine ratings. For other DC area restaurant info, you might want to check out the online version of Washintonian.
