Aery 둥지 - Gaithersburg

This place is a hidden gem for lovers of Korean food. Their dishes are of exceptional quality, showcasing the rich flavors of Korean cuisine. The jokbal and fried chicken are must-tries. They are the best!!

Have eaten here a few times and every single time, the prices have increased! For instance, a year ago, the Bulgogi Beef was $17.50. But now it is $19.99! Same with the other food items, they have all increased by $2-$3, each! Food portions have stayed pretty much the same, though.I can say that the service is quick. The sitting area is so-so, with only 3 tables available in the small store. Cold and Hot water are accessible for drinking.Today (5/29/23) was a good dine-in experience for Memorial Day after doing some grocery shopping inside Lotte. Maybe next time, try some other food items if there's an opportunity to eat at this food court again. Wish they had other Korean food entrees available, like Bibimbap, Mandu Guk, or Galbi BBQ.

Are you looking for high quality sushi platters for your large family or just wanna eat a bunch? Look no further because Aery is PERFECT for this in both quality, quantity, and price. I actually tried their Korean food prior to ordering sushi and I am a fan of the seafood pancake and the Korean fried chicken. This place is INSIDE of the Lotte but it's right at the entrance so you can't miss it. They also serve black bean noodles which I need to try later. They have other 25 different types of platters and I'd recommend calling ahead of you have a big order or are ordering during the holiday season. I love this place because they offer the option to have full-cooked sushi which is great for the little kids or people who can't handle raw fish. I ordered the deluxe California rolls $100) and the Mixed Roll Platter $115) and it even came with miso soup! The sushi was high quality, no fishy taste, and was super creamy and delicious for the cali rolls and with those with avocado). These platters were a hit at the party and will be my absolute go-to restaurant for catering. For non-holidays I believe you can order it on the same day and it'll be ready in 2-3 hours but call and double check when you place the order. Overall, do not skip this place and definitely come try their Korean dishes and use them for catering.

Had high hopes coming here only to be disappointed in their food. We ordered the yukaejanh, sullongtang and seafood tofu soup with mackerel fish. All the soups were bland and tasted like water. All lacked in flavor but had a good amount of veggies/meat in it. The mackerel was on the other hand good and cooked well. Although the food was mediocre, the Staff were super friendly and attentive.

This is the perfect spot when you are craving Korean food. They never fail to meet myexpectations. The staff is amicable, especially Nicole, she gives the best suggestions if you arelooking for something new. The food has always been full of flavor and the portion is great. Iwould highly recommend their JAEYOOK BOKKEUM, FISH SOUP SET, and AERY WINGS. They also have a reward program which will be handy. Do try this spot!
