Michael Choi has wooed Northern Virginia with delicious food, from making large meals for his kitchen staff to launching his third restaurant. The third Wooboi restaurant will open on Saturday, June 1, at 12721 Shoppes Lane in Fairfax. On opening day, every order will get free wings.
Choi graduated from New York’s Culinary Institute of America (CIA) in 2017 and began working in the kitchen at a steakhouse and then at a Four Seasons hotel. He said his tasks involved making the family meals for the restaurant staff, who affectionately called him Woo Boy. He explained that Choi’s Korean name is Minwoo, and the staff accused him of wooing them with the meals.
In 2018, Choi launched his first Wooboi restaurant in Herndon. He followed up with a second location in 2020 in Alexandria. Choi said he signed the lease in early 2020 before the coronavirus pandemic began. He said the pandemic changed how he planned to grow his businesses, with more focus on take-out meals.
