Cyndy's Bottom Line: Reservations on RESYStreet

3/5 by Cyndy K. on 04/06/2022

Cyndy's Bottom Line: *Reservations on RESY*Street parking, no valet, no parking lot*Good house cocktail menu and wine selection.*Happy hour 5-7pmExcited to try Anju after reading all the reviews and because of the James Beard 2022 Best chef and Emerging chef nominations. Congratulations!This is what we ate/drank:*Glass of chenin blanc - good pairing with food*Tell M "Iwai" - sesame washed iwai whiskey, tart cherry, montenegro, rhubarb bitters. -Deliciously sweet cocktail.+Mandu - pan fried pork and kimchi.-Nicely pan fried served with a good light soy sauce with spring onions. Meatier than expected and firm in texture.+Pan chan - selections of pickled cucumbers, shredded bellflower root, spicy fish cake, kimchi.-The pickled cucumbers were challenging to eat with the stainless steel chopsticks because it was not sliced up in bite sized pieces. The cucumbers were a bit mushy and not crisp. The kimchi was abit sour for my taste and needed to be chopped up in bite sized manageable pieces.-A first time try for the bellflower root which I liked the texture and taste. The spicy fish cake was a bit dry but good in flavor.+Ssam Board - seared prime rib, seasonal greens, roasted garlic ssamjang.-A good board the comes with two sauces and an array of seasonal vegetables such as the radishes and sweet Asian pear. Enjoyed the roasted garlic which adds a smooth flavor when eaten with the galbi. The galbi seared well, soft, juicy and tender. +Dak Jjim - spicy Korean chili-braised chicken thighs, potato, onion.-Not spicy, mild in flavor and unexpected sweetness served with a perfectly done rice.*Friendly and attentive service.

Yall know how much I cherish & value friends that over

5/5 by Danielle D. on 04/05/2022

Yall know how much I cherish & value friends that over order just to try everything on the menu!! I've been meaning to make my way to Anju for a while now, and it was well worth the wait. You know how sometimes restaurants say "spicy" and its just like, seasoned? The spicy chicken sandwich was SPICY, but the strawberry lychee lemonade (add soju for funsies) was a helpful chaser.I could go on and on about the food, but to the girls working the Saturday brunch slot who had the playlist set to create the most vibeiest vibes, giving high school spring formal dance circle circa 2010, I'm indebted to you. Spicy Chicken Sandwich MOON PIE FRENCH TOAST, Mandu pork kimchi dumplings, loaded hashbrown coins

Came here on a Sunday to finally give it a try.

3/5 by Jimmy L. on 03/29/2022

Wife and I have known about this place for a while, but after watching Lisa Ling's special on HBO, and finally finding some time to get away for a little in the afternoon, we said it's time to try it.First, we made reservations in advance, but when we showed up there were actually a lot of open tables. Parking is bad, because it is in DC. The place looked pretty cool inside and the main seating area is upstairs. Decor seemed pretty cool.The brunch menu is different that the dinner menu, and what was disappointing was that the Palace Ddukbokgi isn't available. I asked the waiter if he would ask the chef for an exception; unfortunately, the chef would not accommodate, even though dinner was only a few hours from then. Beware that prices are a bit steep for the Korean food here. This is probably because it's DC and it's "contemporary" Korean food. We decided on the Mandu to start, and then the Pork Belly Dosirak, and Soondubu Jjigae with Seafood. So "anju" in Korean means the food people eat usually while drinking, but the wife and I didn't want to imbibe any potent potables. So the food all in all was tasty. For the money paid, I felt I still needed to go to McDonald's to be satisfied (portions are small). Would I try this again? Probably not. Will I try Mandu and Chiko (restaurants from the Fried Rice Collective)? Maybe, just to cross it off the bucket list.Try it out and see for yourself!

5/5 by Zac J. on 03/27/2022

I never get the same thing twice here and I've never had a bad meal. The breakfast sandwich and the fried chicken have to be my favorites though. You will not find better value than at Anju

Very Well Done… not quite hype-worthy

4/5 by Wander360085 on 03/20/2022

So I’ll qualify this review by saying it’s not Anju’s fault Washingtonian made them #1 on their very best restaurants list. In my mind, that slot should be reserved for truly special experiences like Komi, Minibar, etc. This is not that.
Having said that, this is the kind of place I would like to come all the time if I lived in the neighborhood. The staff is super friendly, the decor is nice, and the menu has several standouts. Based on the reviews, we had to try the dumplings and fried chicken. Both were top notch and we really enjoyed them. I could eat the dumplings all day every day. We tried the duck/noodles to try to get something a little more adventurous and it wasn’t our cup of tea. Way too rich (and I don’t say that often!). The waffle dessert was really different and might have been the best thing here. So cocktails were fresh, food was really good, price was reasonable. I would have been really fired up about this place if I randomly stopped in after a Saturday walking around. My advice would be ignore the hype and set expectations and enjoy this place for what it is… a little neighborhood gem.

Can't believe it took me this long to come visit this

5/5 by Amalia L. on 03/17/2022

Can't believe it took me this long to come visit this restaurant. My friend and I truly enjoyed our dinner date! We got the Korean Fried Chicken, Jjampong (seafood noodle soup), Ori Jjajangmyeon (black bean noodle with duck). We couldnt pick favorite because everything was sooo delicious!Also as traditionally jjajangmyeon is made with pork, I truly appreciate that fried DUCK is served with this one. And the duck was amazing!

😒

I am not sure why this place has such a great reputation.

3/5 by Kozmo S. on 03/13/2022

The service is decent, but that was the only part that I thought merited a positive mention. The food in our experience just wasn't that good. We went for brunch and got the house infused magkeoli that was mango and corn flavored, it was really thick and overly sweet. We also got the mandu which were pretty good, as well as the Juk which tasted burnt but was otherwise flavorless. Th pork variety dish was okay (best parts were the lotus panchan and the gochujang sauce which made the juk more palatable). Overall, I can't recommend it, and would rather make the trek to Annandale for really excellent Korean options.

😍

I wish I could give Anju 6 stars.

5/5 by Rebecca N. on 03/05/2022

..great service, cool vibe and the food was crazy good. Sweet potato app was just sweet and salty enough. Portions were so generous. I only wish were weren't from DC- we'd be there weekly. Delicious!

😍

The most amazing food I have had in Washington DC by far.

5/5 by Margie B. on 03/04/2022

The flavors seasoning what is on point. The staff was helpful friendly and very attentive. Definitely will be going back to try all the other dishes. Our new favorite spot in DC.

Bottom Line: A riveting take on traditional Korean dishes,

5/5 by David L. on 02/28/2022

Bottom Line: A riveting take on traditional Korean dishes, Anju straight kills it with their flavors and customizations. This is a MUST try if you even remotely enjoy or want to try Korean food that isn't just "K-BBQ" or "Beef bulgogi." There's more than just those meals! My wife is Korean so this was an important restaurant for us to try. Food: Tried a bunch of stuff and was happy with pretty much all of it. You can't go wrong. Some things are more or less traditional, but beware of the extra saltiness that comes with some of the dishes. - Panchan: Always must order some of these tiny Korean side dishes. The ones we got an absolutely recommend: 30 day kimchi...like nothing we've ever tried before. This will NOT taste like your normal kimchi. It's different and reminiscent of saurkraut! Sweet Lotus Root is a MUST. This is different and freaking amazing. Soy-brined chayote...this is like a pickled radish. Nicely done but we wish we tried something else. - Chikin: EVERYBODY gets these...really good. It has that spicy Korean Fried chicken kick that you want with a creamy sauce added on. If the restaurant is reading this, I would have loved to have a small side dish of pickled radish added like at Bonchon and other fried chicken spots as an acidic touch. - Palace ddukbokgi: These are not the usually style that we're used to but our absolute favorite dish of the night. Gotta try this!- Dolsot Bibimbap: A really traditional bibimbap that comes in a hot stone. Very well done and tastes just like you'd get anywhere else. Not out of this world, but you absolutely won't go wrong if a solid "fried rice" dish such as this one. - Ori Jajang Myeon: These are really usually my favorite dish at korean restaurants. The duck is AWESOME, but the flavor of the black bean sauce was a big salty and too strong. It needed some more noodles for the ratio. It's a great must try if you've never experienced something like this and want to try new. - Desserts were alright...nothing to write home about. Would also next time skip the dessert and spend the $$ and stomach space on another savory dish. Drinks: What the hell is Tell M'iWai, but whatever this cocktail is, was awesome and highly recommend. Very strong tart cherry juice beware, but so good and the aftermath flavor of sesame at the end is strong and apparent.

🙂

I enjoyed Anju.

4/5 by Ruby T. on 02/26/2022

Started with the dumplings, fried chicken wings and eggplant. The fried chicken was delicious - battered to perfection and great flavor. The duck was good but not great- I did love the noodles it came with! The cocktail menu is unique and ambiance/vibe is also cool !!

🙂

Food is amazing but rather pricey.

4/5 by Rebecca F. on 02/25/2022

Staff is pretty helpful and accommodating. Try to get a reservation as it gets pretty full even on weeknights.

The Space:Very spacious, I really like the interior decor

5/5 by Ricky P. on 02/22/2022

The Space:Very spacious, I really like the interior decor of this restaurant and it gets a lot of great natural sunlight. It is two stories and they even have outdoor seating. My favorite part about the space is that the way it is laid out, it allows for a lot of nooks for you to escape into and having a more intimate setting. We were a group of 5 and it seems they have the space to accommodate a larger group too.The Service:The staff is really friendly and attentive. There was consistently someone stopping by our table, drinks were always filled and food came out pretty quickly!The Brunch Food/Drink:I got the Pork Belly Dosirak ($22) which was very filling and could be enough food for two people. It is a great dish if you want to try a little of everything, it also has the perfect amount of heat for a spicy wimp like me. I also got the small Loaded Hash Brown Coins (small $6, large $9), which was really tasty. I would say that there is a lack of good vegetarian options on both the brunch and dinner menus. My friend ended up getting the impossible burger ($18) and thought it was alright. My other friends got the spicy chicken sandwich ($15) and thought it was good but pretty standard and the "choco pie" french toast ($16) which they thought was dessert like and delicious, the toast was made using thick brick toast. My friend's also got the Saam Jang Blood Mary ($7) and loved it!

5/5 by Mary D. on 02/21/2022

My boyfriend and I did our early Valentines here on the 12th and gosh we were blown away.We were seated upstairs in a rear corner which made it super intimate and enjoyable. I ended up having two glasses of the Bordeaux. My boyfriend enjoyed the Soju Bourbon cocktail, a glass of the Bordeaux, and some of the house soju. We both enjoyed every sip down to the last drop of each of our drinks. My bourbon drinking boyfriend is very much a purist but really enjoyed Anju's take on a "bourbon."We started with a set of three of the Panchan. The 30 day kimchi, pickled cucumbers, and sweet lotus root. They were kind enough to throw in the brussel sprout kimchi on the house. If you've never had sweet lotus root I cannot recommend it enough! We also had an order of the Hwe. Truly could've drank the blood orange vinaigrette. Delicious!We ordered the same entrées- the Ori Jajang Myeon (Duck). Clearly we both LOVE duck and this was hands down the best duck dish we've ever had both in how it was cooked and the overall taste of the dish. The bowl of noodles is more than enough for one sitting and we ended up taking a good portion of the noodles home. We love Anju and can't wait to return!

5/5 by Ameera B. on 02/20/2022

I stopped by with a friend on a weekday evening around 7:30 PM and was able to get a small spot near the bar, which was wonderful! I can't say enough good things about the service we received and we were beyond pleased with all our food picks. The half chikin dish was the star of the show- perfectly flavorful and crispy. I highly recommend checking the spot out and will be back for sure!

😍

Got the chance to come back to Anjufrc.

5/5 by Mark O. on 02/08/2022

Overall, this is one of my favorite restaurants in DC. From the service to the ambiance to the quality of food. I've been here multiple time and I'm continuously impressed. Anju has one of the best Fried Chicken sandwiches in the DMV area. I highly recommend this restaurant.

😍

The food was amazing and our Server was so helpful.

5/5 by Linn B. on 02/05/2022

We just asked for one of everything that was the most ordered! The ambience had a lot of pizzazz. We had the dumplings and the Fried chicken oh yeah and the tuna tartare and the beef tartare as appetizers! And for means we had the Bronzino, the Korean barbecue type dish, the fried rice, and the duck fried noodles. So so good highly reckoned

😍

Wonderful Korean food!

5/5 by Bellerophon O on 01/07/2022

We really enjoyed our dinner at Anju - everything was delicious and you see why they're so highly reviewed. The food is a fusion of tradition and modernity and the cocktails were also great. We got the Mandu (dumplings), Chikin (so good!), Ori Jajang Myeon (a duck dish that was delightful), and the Ssam Board. Everything was so flavorful, and I look forward to eating there again.

😍

Delicious Korean food in the DuPont Circle neighborhood

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
