Gamasot

I tried the Sul Leung Tang (soup with beef and noodles) and Bo Saam (meat and vegetable platter).  Wasn't a fan of either dish.  The Sul Leung Tang was bland, and the Bo Saam was a nice combination of ingredients but on the salty side.  If you average the two dishes out then you might get to a good level of seasoning, but it doesn't really work that way.

On the plus side, the banchan was pretty good and the service was on top of refills (of barley tea and banchan).  Also, the interior is very nice, there's a variety of seating, and there is plenty of parking.  When we visited, there were only a few other people inside so getting a table was not a problem.  Though, that may have had something to do with the fact that it was a Wednesday evening, and raining.

Only Korean place I've been to in Virginia, and it is pretty decent. I've been told that there are great Korean restaurants (especially Korean BBQ) in Annandale, so I'll definitely be checking those out. For now, Gamasot will suffice.

I've gotten both the bibimbap and the sundubu. I ordered the bibimbap the first time around because I didn't want to be slurping soup and balancing a rice bowl and a tofu pot during lunch with a coworker. It was good, nothing spectacular, but definitely hit the spot.

The second time around, I ordered the sundubu because I was really craving a korean tofu pot. To be honest, the soup was kind of bland and the seafood left much to be desired. The shrimp and squid definitely came from a freezer, and the ratio of tofu to seafood was laughable. I will probably not order it again...I also noticed that they didn't give me as many side dishes because I was dining solo. Not a big deal to me, but it did seem kind of stingy.

My favorite part of the meal is always the yogurt drink that comes with the check. :9 I will be back, but definitely not before I have me some kBBQ!

Whenever I'm in DC area, I always make sure I stop by Gamasot to fulfill my sulung tang fix. It's been over 8 years since my last visit... seems like they are under new management... the old gentleman that behind the glass is no longer working....

They also extended their menu offering, but stick to what they are good at - Sulung Tang.  I'm not sure what other dishes tastes like, I'm sure they are good, but for $6, you can't beat the price and the taste.  The broth is a lot better then it used to be and is more richer and bold in taste.

What I do not like... their kimchi doesn't taste the same as it used to... as well as the radish kimchi... not sure if they changed the recipe or not, but they are not as good as it used to be.....  Service was good and banchans were refilled when we requested it.
