Noonchi

"This restaurant is “hidden” behind a bao shop. Hours aren’t posted anywhere but as of this posting they are open weekends from 5-10. Really good Korean style pub food. Drinks are served in pouches, which is weird but overall amusing and fun rather than annoying. The food is delicious. We got kimbap and teokbokki. Atmosphere is a great! The bartender was working the three tables that were present that night. She was friendly and fast. Definitely a must try for the area as there’s not a lot of Korean food in Pentagon City."

"Tried out the new Noonchi tonight. We got the wings, tteokbokki, jeon, and some of their soju cocktails. It was great - yummy food, big servings, great prices. Our favorites were the wings and the cocktails."

"Revising this to say the reservation process is not smooth. Reserved an automatic mahjong table but was then called an hour before my reservation to say that they couldn't do it. Disappointing as we had guests coming in who were looking forward to it. As avid mahjong players we finally got to try this place! The cocktails and mocktails are great, a personal favorite was the Forbidden Rice horchata. Really enjoyed the veggie chow mein, whole branzino as well. The impossible shumai was also pretty tasty. Service was also excellent, and the mahjong tables themselves are awesome!!"

"Located inside the bun restaurant. They have limited seating, so it's better to make a reservation. I failed twice and finally had a seat this time:) It was a weekday evening. The cocktails were really goooood! I had a combination of tea and booze like this before and it reminded me of my hometown. :) Although it's a Chinese Bistro, the rice didn't cook well :( it was dry and felt like sitting there for a long time. Meat was fine! And the scallion pancakes were too soft for me. Will come again for the cocktails ✅"

"Been here twice for the beginner's mahjong lesson with Mr. Tim Ma Sr. and it's been a fun time. I love the drinks here (they do have happy hour) and the atmosphere is really nice for a girl's night out or a date night. I'm proud to support a local AAPI-owned business. Food is presented really well, but could be better for the price."
