" House of Milae truly stands out as one of the best places for Korean cuisine. The moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The menu itself doesn’t have too many options, but each dish is prepared with love and care. I tried the beef soft tofu stew, which was delightful. The combination of textures and flavors was heavenly! The service exceeded my expectations with the staff being informative and eager to help. I left feeling satisfied and full. I would absolutely recommend this place to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" During my last visit to the House of Milae, I was quite pleased with the overall experience. The spicy pork had an authentic bite to it, and I couldn't get enough of the banchan that came out with our meal! The service was attentive, and our server made excellent recommendations for our group. My only complaint would be the atmosphere, which felt a little dated and could use some refreshing. Nonetheless, I would definitely return for the food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was a tad disappointed during my recent visit to House of Milae. The food was indeed tasty, yet some of the dishes felt like they lacked the authentic Korean flair I was hoping for. The service was fine, but I felt more attention to detail would help, especially regarding faster delivery of our meals. The atmosphere was quite quaint, perfect for a casual meal. I might return, but with tempered expectations next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is a hidden gem! I stumbled upon House of Milae during my visit to Bethesda and was thoroughly impressed. The service was welcoming, and the banchan was delicious—a perfect way to start the meal! I ordered the beef bibimbap and a seafood pancake, and both were outstanding. The quality of food seemed very authentic. I can’t wait to return for another delightful dining experience. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely dinner at House of Milae recently. Their soondubu (soft tofu stew) has become my favorite dish—perfectly spicy with lots of ingredients! I also enjoyed the rice wine they offered; it complemented the meal very well. The staff was attentive and friendly, but I would have appreciated a quicker service as we waited longer for our entrées. Overall, a satisfying meal that I will likely repeat in the future!

" This was my first visit to a Korean restaurant, and I loved it! The staff was very friendly and made helpful recommendations. The spicy pork was my favorite dish, bursting with flavor! The atmosphere was lively and fun, which added to the experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone new to Korean food! " (*Curated Review*)

" House of Milae has been my go-to for Korean food for quite some time now. The amount of banchan they serve is impressive, and it's all delicious! The spicy pork I ordered on my last visit was cooked to perfection, balancing out heat with flavor. The ambiance is cozy too, perfect for a family dinner or a casual night out with friends. There was a slight wait for our food, but the attentive service made up for it. Highly recommend the seafood pancake! " (*Curated Review*)
