La philosophie du restaurant repose sur le partage et la convivialité, offrant une expérience culinaire authentique et innovante.

"Anju is a modern Korean gastropub in Dupont Circle where refined techniques meet comforting, shareable dishes. Led by chef/co-owner Danny Lee and executive chef Angel Barreto, the menu highlights handcrafted banchan, house‑fermented kimchi, playful twists like kimchi‑slaw hot dogs and double‑fried chicken with gochujang glaze and Alabama white BBQ sauce, as well as interactive jeongol hot‑pot tasting around intimate tables. The space blends a cozy, plant‑filled interior with a spirited bar program and a warm, family‑centric atmosphere—Mama Lee even greets guests and shares homemade mandu at the counter.

"Top Chef star Kwame Onwuachi, who’s making an anticipated return to D.C.’s dining scene this spring. They snag a seat at Dupont’s essential Korean eatery — one of Onwuachi’s D.C. faves run by his chef friends Danny Lee and Angel Barreto. Lee presents a parade of sharable banchan and points out highlights like its 30-day aged kimchi. As one would, they also get Anju’s must-try Korean fried chicken and dumplings; Onwuachi reveals that Lee’s mom (of Mandu fame) taught him how to roll them. Finally, Lee convinces all that chasing Jameson Irish whiskey shots with kimchi brine is a delicious idea. [Netflix's Somebody feed Phil]"

"Situated between Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan, Anju serves Korean bar food with a refined touch from the restaurant group behind casual hit Chiko. James Beard Award-nominated chef Angel Barreto leads a kitchen that plates up standouts ranging from pork and kimchi mandu (dumplings) and smoky gochujang-glazed fried chicken with white barbecue sauce to a seafood fried rice (bokum bap) and seared ribeye galbi boards. Weekend brunches bring on breakfast sandwiches and a grit bowl that riffs on juk."

"Nice and fancy korean restaurant. The portion are big and I appreciate it because of the price. I had bibimbap and fried chicken. I liked it but it was not really the taste that I expected. The fried chicken pieces should be more smaller to enjoy the crispiness. As it was not cutted in small pieces I felt more the meat and less the crispiness. Liked it! "

"Anju $$ The two-level Anju has a double life: Downstairs, it’s a Seoul-style pub scene with a bar and a few high top tables and stools for walk-in diners (there might be quite a few trying their luck at the host stand). Upstairs, the dining room almost feels like you’ve been dropped into a homey-yet-stylish Adams Morgan apartment. There’s exposed beams, plaster, and rafters, and the space is decorated with houseplants, floral wallpaper and artwork, portraits, and books. If you’re looking for classic Korean dishes like dolsot bibim bap with bulgogi, Anju has that covered on the “Mama Lee’s” section of the menu. Meanwhile, executive chef Angel Barreto has free-reign to play around with everything from 30-day kimchi to jajangmyeon. Desserts are prime examples of Anju’s creativity."
