Anju Washington Reviews
We were so disappointed in our dinner tonight.
We couldn't get a reservation but were able to wait for a seat at the window. Not comfortable but we were glad to get a spot. The music was kind of loud but the bass was actually giving me a headache. The server was fine but the food was not. We

We came here for dinner after a fellow conference attendee recommended it. The neighborhood was beautiful. We didn't get to see the upstairs since we walked in and it was booked with reservations. That's totally okay though because the bart

2 friends and I went to Anju for dinner and had the best time filling up our bellies. We had Saewoo Mandu which were shrimp dumplings, buchu butter sauce, sugar snap peas, and zucchini which was somehow both light and flavorful (my favorite), Ramyun
Went here on a friend's recommendation.
The place has a clean, modern vibe without feeling cold. Food had depth - not just heat, but actual layered flavors. It's not cheap, but i left full and curious to try more next time.
Great food the dumplings are little spicy but good.
The staff is super nice in the bathrooms were really clean. Not very long wait time I come here again.
Excellent meal.

The food was delicious! Also the waiter was very kind and he helped us celebrate my sisters birthday. It was a very nice place and it wasn't crowded nor was it loud. It's definitely a nice place to also have a date. Definitely will be back

The highlight of our meals in DC! Anju delivered on food quality, flavor, service, ambience, and value. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed the broccoli tempura, ssam board, and kimchi jigae. Portions were large and we couldn't finish everything

Brunch here was 10/10.
Our waiter was friendly and graciously answered all of our questions. The cocktails were nice and balanced - flavorful but not too sweet. Everything we ate was delicious but I especially liked the loaded tots and the catfish sandwich, which was light
10/10 Will be back
I have heard about Anju for a long time and how challenging reservations are. Tonight I walked in and sat on the first floor (a party of two). The feelings we were greeted with were warm and gracious by the hostess. We were sat immediately and Mateo
Underwhelming food, service, and overall customer experience
Had heard good things about Anju, and tried it today with my niece. Neither of us were crazy about the food. My salad was untouched, but the server didn't even acknowledge it. I mentioned this to him, and he just dropped the check and said thank
Overpriced, okay food
* strawberry lychee lemonade was good * Very busy on friday evening * Mandu was only 5 pieces, crumbles apart but is good. * Ramyun fried rice has dried noodles on it, adds an interesting crunch. Overpriced for such a mid meal * Overall overpriced fo

Anju definitely lives up to the well deserved hype that it has. We had the chikn and shrimp dumplings as an appetizer and they were very good portions and was bursting with flavor. For the main we had the branzino which melted in your mouth. The sau

Finally came to try Anju, one of the places we've been meaning to come in DC. Came here for brunch and we ordered: 1. Mandu (pork and kimchi): 5/5 the best thing we had here. ORDER THIS and you will thank me 2. Galbi and egg: 3.5/5 Galbi was not hot
Food is AMAZING! Brunch is my personal favorite.
Sharable plate sizes. Drinks are pretty good. Service is ok. I had trouble for dinner with seating. The staff was not as accommodating or welcoming but overall was made up for with the food and service while seated.

My friend and I went here since we were so curious and heard great things. It's quite hard to get seating here since they are so busy so plan wisely. We got the bibimbap which was delicious and tasted so fresh. We also got the lychee cocktail and moc
So yummy
LOVED Anju! Incredible Korean food in a relaxed, warm atmosphere. We had two kinds of dumplings and the bibimbap with bulgogi—delicious. Do NOT leave without having the banana funnel cake for dessert, it was unbelievable!

anju absolutely blew me away! the chikin was crispy, but not oily and the gochujang glaze was sweet, but had the perfect kick to it. the sauce in the palace ddukbokgi was INSANE and the char on the rice cakes added the perfect smokiness. the saengseo
Went with a group and split multiple entrees.
Highly recommend the crispy chicken and dumplings!!
WOW did I leave so satisfied.
Might be one of my favorite restaurants in DC. Mandu, bone marrow, and Jjajangbap. Everything was extremely delicious.. especially the bone marrow. Service was not slow despite how busy it was. Servers were very attentive and kind. The music was good

Visited Anju on the whim.
I got there just in time before it got too crowded. The host was gracious enough to let me sit at a table that was reserved. He was super nice and helpful and answered all of my questions about the menu. I loved the ambiance of the place as well. As

Lovely place
On a recent trip to the DC area, West Virginia & Pittsburgh, this fun and delicious Korean family style restaurant stood out about all the other restaurants we visited. The server was super-helpful in giving us tips for the best way to order and
A winner!
Magnificent from start to finish. The fried chicken and dumplings were particulat highlights. Nice wine list. Great to eat family style. Friendly and helpful staff.
Dolsot Bibim Bap-YEA!
Went here with a co-worker. The waitstaff was fun and very knowledgeable about the menu. We shared the Mandu and both had the Dolsot Bibim Bap. Mine was tofu. So delicious and reminded me of all the bibim bop I had in Korea in the past. Even the banc

Worthwhile
Food is very good and very different. Each dish we ordered was very good to excellent. Good service. Not much ambiance.

Food is good and service is excellent. Food serve fast also. If your do not want their ori spicy need to request less spicy. Good ambience for friends and family gathering.
Wonderful hospitality and food
We're not experts on Korean cuisine, but we had a great experience at Anju. The staff & food were exceptional. More of a neighborhood favorite than a tourist destination. Limited seating so reservations are highly recommended, but we just stop

Anju was the perfect happy hour choice.
The mandu was absolutely delicious--flavorful and juicy--and I loved the shandy (a draft with a shot of citrus soju that you pour in yourself). I got there right after it opened at 5, so service was super quick, and the bartender was helpful with rec
Connect with users posting reservations for Anju Washington
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Anju Washington. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Anju Washington at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Anju Washington page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FamousStation67, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FamousStation67 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FamousStation67 for any questions Peter may have as FamousStation67 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FamousStation67 now uses their connections at Anju Washington to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FamousStation67 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FamousStation67 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FamousStation67's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Anju Washington!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
