The most delicious savory meal I have had in a long time! I got the super bowl with tofu and spicy chicken, topped with spicy mayo. Delish! Full of umami flavor, freshness and a ton of veggies. Generous portions made with high quality ingredients. I would go here all the time if I was a local. Can’t wait to go back sometime!
All the food tastes so fresh. I had a small bowl with white rice, brown beef which had a nice sticky sweet and savory flavor, carrots, kale, bean sprouts, red onions, and beets! On top I had the Mango Suace w/ a little bit of spicy mayo, sesame seeds and oil. The service was good and the server explained how the process worked. We were able to eat inside the market place which was very clean. Nice hip location, artsy open spaces, lots of tables, seating and clean public restrooms. Highly recommend this spot and I’ll definitely be going back again!
The staff is friendly and helpful, and the food is great and filling! Works chipotle-style where you pick a base and a protein and build your own bowl, choosing vegetables and sauces. It’s a booth in the Mt.Vernon Marketplace
We wandered into the marketplace for our first time today for the Brown Rice Korean restaurant. I ordered the beef bulgogi in a super bowl with zucchini, broccoli, onion, bean sprouts, mushrooms, kimchi and cucumber kimchi with the bulgogi sauce mixed with the gochujang sauce. My bowl was very good! My fiance ordered a spicy chicken hot stone bowl with bean sprouts, carrots and corn, topped bulgogi and gochujang sauce with a fried egg and enjoyed his as well. He got to have his sacsac grape juice, which he enjoyed very much. We will definitely be returning!
The staff is awesome, professional and friendly. The food is good, but - compared to the other locations - they always skimp on the vegetables/sauce/other toppings here mostly just mounds of rice and meat.
Update since my review was removed for no reason. Existing customer, the food is good. However, I brought a friend to try it for the first time, and the lady was quite unpleasant. It was embarrassing. When my friend was ready to order after spending a few minutes looking over the menu, she informed him, "no, I'm too busy, I asked you before." She then gave me an attitude over the toppings, so I declined the food and questioned her about her terrible customer service, to which she replied, "I don't care, I'll eat it myself," to which I replied, "good for you." I've never had service like this anywhere!
This is my favorite restaurant in the entire city, and the owners are so sweet! They do an amazing job staying true to Korean cuisine, and their food is absolutely delicious. I refuse to go to other brown rice locations because they don't do this as well. The prices are reasonable, and the portions are great. You can tell that they adjust your order to make sure the proportions are perfect. I come here whenever I have extra money, and as someone who doesn't eat much, the super Bowl lasts me for two meals. I'm hooked!
one of my favorite restaurants, literally go like 2+ times every week. great rice, meat quality, and you get 7 toppings of many choices of vegetables and sauces. good drinks and customer service too, great spot
The Mount Vernon Marketplace is a very cool and uppity Cafeteria, which many great food options. A very popular spot for a date. Within this food marketplace lies a gem. Brown Rice Korean Grille. While there are around 5 Brown Rice locations, this is one of the oldest locations and it is by far the best. A lot of people have complained about the food portions that they give here, but I completely disagree. They give a good amount. Also they have the BB habanero based hot sauce, which is the best sauce ever made! It is the only Brown Rice location with this sauce! Also it is the only Brown Rice location that does not Charge extra money for the more popular veggies. They have almost every veggie and protein that you can think of! It’s amazing.
Always fresh! You can tell that the owners take great pride in their food. The rice is always cooked to perfection and toppings are always super fresh and crisp! I love their beef bulgogi. Reasonably priced. We come here 1x a week sometimes!
