To Sok Jip is hands down one of the best spots for authentic Korean cuisine. The moment you step in, you’re greeted with a warm, homey atmosphere that feels like a traditional Korean dining experience. The food is absolutely incredible—each dish is flavorful, hearty, and made with the care and precision that only comes with tradition. Their kimchi jjigae and bulgogi are must-tries, and the side dishes (banchan) are plentiful, fresh, and a perfect complement to the main dishes. The portions are generous, and the flavors are bold yet balanced, capturing the essence of true Korean comfort food. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring you have everything you need for a great meal. The restaurant might get busy at times, but it’s worth the wait for such an authentic and satisfying dining experience. If you’re looking for traditional Korean food that feels like a home-cooked meal, To Sok Jip is the place to go. Highly recommend it for anyone craving genuine Korean flavors!

New Tosokjib is a solid spot for Korean food. The portions are large and great for sharing, especially the bossam, which was tender, flavorful, and the highlight of the meal. The rich soybean paste soup was just okay. Service was efficient and courteous, and the overall dining experience was smooth and satisfying. A good choice if you’re looking for a authentic Korean meal in the area.

I have never felt as relieved and overjoyed as I did when To Sok Jip finally reopened its doors! Home to some of the DMV area's best Korean food, To Sok Jip's new location continues to feature a rockstar menu of traditional Korean fare, including stews, grilled fish / meats, and so much more. I visited their new location with a group of six, the perfect size for one of their booths! We got a giant spread of food to share, including their bossam, hameul pajeon, grilled squid, fried yellow croaker with doenjang jjigae, and maeuntang. The group couldn't stop raving about their bossam -- the pork was perfectly tender and packed with flavor, and it paired beautifully with the delightfully crisp napa and fresh kimchi. The cabbage, garlic, and jalapenos were all super fresh, and the ssamjang and saewoo jeot were the perfect complements to the already flavorful pork. Bossam is one of those dishes that looks simple but can be challenging to execute well, but To Sok Jip crushed it! While the bossam was certainly the centerpiece of the table, the rest of the dishes were outstanding and equally deserving of praise. The hameul pajeon came out next, and...wow. This perfectly crispy pancake was absolutely loaded with seafood! The green onions helped to cut through the dough, and it wasn't overly greasy or heavy, as many pajeon can be. The rest of our seafood dishes came out together, alongside a few sides of perfectly cooked purple rice and another round of banchan. The squid was grilled, then stir-fried with a gochujang-based sauce and green onions that added a great savory, lightly spicy punch. The squid was perfectly cooked -- it had a good bite but wasn't too chewy or tough, and it had a great layer of smokiness from the grill. The yellow croaker was fried to perfection, with an amazingly crispy skin but tender, succulent interior. It had a pretty light flavor, but that made it the perfect accompaniment to the umami-packed, soul-warming doenjang jjigae. The maeuntang was equally umami-packed and soul-warming, with a great level of spice and a ton of tender cod. This is generally a less popular soup choice and a few folks in the group were originally hesitant to order it, but I think To Sok Jip may have successfully converted them into maeuntang promoters! All in all, I can't say enough good things about To Sok Jip! Their food is delicious, authentic, and warms the soul -- you truly can't go wrong with a single thing on their menu! To top it off, the staff is super friendly and give this no-frills, traditional Korean restaurant some extra charm. Stop by To Sok Jip the next time you're in Annandale or on the hunt for some traditional Korean food!

Deliciously authentic Korean dishes and soups! Came in on a weeknight around 7 with no wait for a party of 2, and saw many other Korean families dining there as well. All of the portion sizes were much bigger than I was anticipating! The bossam (pork belly) fresh kimchi were very rich in flavor and great for sharing! The yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) was very warming and had a lot of shreds of meat mixed into the soup. Even the handmade pork dumplings were very big and packed with so much filling. I enjoyed every dish We would love to come back and try their Sam Gye Tang (whole ginger chicken soup) as that is not something common to see on Korean menus in the US!

Was craving bossam and this place got it. The fried dumplings were bigger than I expected. They don't serve hot water though, only bottled water.

We have been here a lot of times from the old place to this new location. Tried a lot of Korean food around but this is out to go; especially, amazing soup, great ban Chan, and seafood pancake . We traveled to Korea for 3 week and drove across the country so we got to try a lot of food - this is so far better than food we have their or equal.

Wow! Just wow! First time having the food here and it will NOT be the last time. The bossam definitely lived up to all the rave reviews - tender, flavorful, and a great portion! The grilled mackerel came as a close second to greatness, so did the magnanimous pork dumplings. The banchan was very diverse, and also flavorful -- I might have eaten my remaining rice with the juice from the fish cakes . I can't wait to come back here again!
