If you like Korean food I have to imagine there is better out there in the DC area. There sure is in Chicago.
It is a chain, albeit a small one, with a few restaurants in a few cities, including Seoul. DC outlet isn't too sterile, but probably not as "authentic" as some other venues
Right you are about better Korean existing in DC. I've been told (unsubstantiated) that the DC metro area has the 2nd largest Korean population in the US. Unfortunately the area with the excellent Korean restaurants (Annandale) is not metro accessible or walkable from Pentagon City. I'm happy to recommend better places if you are interested.
