My family and I went to get a late night snack, and we arrived 10 minutes before closing, but the staff did not rush us, and they were extremely nice and helpful. We were going to get one of their teas (highly recommend) and they opened the bottle to let us try it with out charging us! I loved the experience and atmosphere, and the food was amazing. Everything was fresh and tasted amazing. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone that likes to try something new, and likes Asian fusion food. Overall, 5/5 stars!

I lost 50 Lbs eating this for lunch everyday some winters ago. Its healthy, I crave it, I dream about it, and go out of my way to get it. Great staff and facility. I would be lying if I didnt admit to sometimes getting 2 sets of 3, saving the 2nd for the evening. Besides the food, theres a reason why the economist magazine covered TaKorean, and it should be noted. I dont usually hand out 5 stars for several reasons, but my key issue with food is consistency, and this place delivers.

Have only eaten here once, but was very pleasantly and unexpectedly surprised. The food is fantastic! High quality, with made to order taco bowls like a Chipotle, only with very different foods. I went for a vegetarian/vegan takorean bowl and was amazed at how flavorful and delicious the food was! Look forward to going back very soon!

The food here is pretty good and its quick to get in and out. What stands out though is the staff. I came in today and the two guys working were genuine and absolutely friendly, I dont know their names or Id give them a shoutout. One does not find friendly staff too often in this area so its a place I highly recommend.

TaKorean is a very delicious and innovative place. I love the combination of health and flavor that the food brings, but hands down it is just damn right good!! There is something for everyone! The owner has done a wonderful job with the opening of his new brick and mortar locations.

This is a great spot to hit up before the baseball game. We went an hour before and there was hardly anyone there. The food right on point... Not too expensive either. They server alcohol as well. So if you want something quick and tasty before the game, this is it.

im obsessed! love it cause its always a healthy, spicy and satisfying meal. keep coming back cause the staff are super friendly and its a block away from DOT. Im all about the half and half bowl. Kale for life!!

Always busy. I was scared the first time and didnt get any cabbage or lettuce related stuff. Big mistake. The meat is rather tasteless. But with the cabbage it all came together in a magical taco sunrise.

Food didnt taste fresh at all, there were few choices and none were appealing, everything was slathered in thick helpings of barbecue sauce, and if youre vegetarian or vegan this is not the place for you.

Get the half and half bowl with the veggies even if you are a carnivore. You wont be sorry. Its really good fast casual. Only complaint is that its really loud in there, but that wouldnt keep me away.

Best value in the city, possibly: $2 taco Tuesdays for delicious, meaty tacos. The pork is juicy, the chicken is flavorful, and the steak is a beautiful bite. I recommend the lime crema and salsa.

Nothing bad to say. The food is fresh and tasty, the staff is very nice, and the layout is pretty cool. I had three of the chicken tacos with a different type of slaw on each and loved them all.

Excellent food. A terrific option for patrons who want a quick meal that doesnt skip on the quality. Nats fans would be wise to fill up here before game time. Will definitely be back soon.

Chipotle meets Korean in the best way possible. My favorite fast casual spot in DC. If you dont know what you want, get 3 tacos, one with each protein and recommended toppings.

Friendly staff serving up delicious and fresh food options with local beer as well. Very well priced for the portion sizes. A must try for those in Navy Yard.

Bulgogi on top of spiced kale and Kimchi with gauc and salsa roja... amazing! !!! This place was definitely worth a try and employees were very nice.

Good brown rice bowl and great kimchi they are just so cheap with their protein! Three pieces of chicken and about 5 skinny slices of their beef.

Not that good. Brown rice was undercooked. Pork was bland. The slaw didnt offer much if anything besides bulk to the food. Its cheap though.

The food truck is better, but this isnt a bad alternative. Its basically a higher quality version of Chipotle with more dignified ingredients.

Food truck come to brick and more location. Ultra fast service, even better food. Hit this place up nearly everytime I am at the Navy Yard

The first time I had TaKorean, I couldnt stop thinking about how delicious it is. The same has happened in all the times since.

Bomb tacos. Great service. Local beer and nice playlist in the background. Id make it out to Navy Yards just to eat here.

The bulgogi is over salted which is great on its own but difficult to augment as their ingredients bar suggests.

Quality korean inspired tacos, but if youve been to one korean taco place youve been to them all.

Meh. Not the fusion concept for me. Might be some one elses cup of tea. Food seemed fine though
