Anju

Anju is a Korean restaurant and bar at 1805 18th St NW, between Dupont Circle and Adams Morgan. Google describes a homey spot with brick walls and outdoor seating serving contemporary Korean comfort food.

It holds a 4.5-star Google rating across about 1,200 reviews. Fried chicken is the most-mentioned dish, followed by branzino, mandu, panchan, beef tartare, a spicy chicken sandwich and a tasting menu; bar seating and happy hour also come up. Recent reviewers praise warm service, generous dishes for sharing, dolsot bibimbap and vegan options such as dumplings and tteokbokki with tofu. A couple of reviewers found some dishes too salty or the branzino less exciting, and one says the bar stools could be more comfortable.

It serves dinner nightly from 5 PM, until 9 PM Sunday through Thursday and 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, plus weekend daytime service from 11 AM to 1:30 PM. A recent reviewer recommends booking ahead, though walk-ins are possible at quieter times. Google lists a wheelchair-accessible entrance, restroom and seating.
