"WHAT I ORDERED: Osam (spicy squid and pork) and Beef Soondubu PARKING: Parking lot INSIDE: Mom and Pop shop, great pictures of the food items hung on the walls, friendly staff as she took our order and called out when the food was ready. There's a rack to put your tray of dirty dishes when you're finished eating near the entrance. THE FOODS/DRINKS: The complimentary barley tea was refreshing, the osam had great flavor, not too spicy at all, but my favorite was the soondubu or tofu soup. It was rich in flavor and didn't skimp out on actual tofu and beef pieces."

"The reviews here are no lie. This is some of the most delicious Korean fried chicken in the city that does it best. It's a nice location tucked in a shopping plaza with plenty of spacious tables and seating available. You step in and see their digital menu across three large monitors and it makes it super easy to grasp the variety and help you make a choice. There is a convenient self service water dispenser and all the napkins/forks/etc. you could ever need to support your meal. The spicy yangnyeom chicken was phenomenal. It's got a good level of heat but nothing to make to cry and tons of flavor. It even has crushed peanuts mixed in which were a delicious surprise. The mild soy garlic is also amazing and paired really well with our spicy pick. Both have some fried rice cakes mixed in and tossed with the sauce so I really enjoyed those because I wasn't expecting them. The kimchi fried rice is amazing! It was packed with kimchi and furikake, and came with a perfectly fried egg on top which was nice to mix in. This was a perfect meal and I'll definitely be choosing this over the Hmart food court next time I'm in town."

"Tasty!Tried to pop in for lunch a few months ago and they were slammed so I left not having much time. Just met a coworker here today and they were MUCH slower. Friendly service although only 1 waitress really for the entire place so could be problematic if busier. We both ordered the lunch bento box was pretty solid amt of food for the money. We got beef bulgogi and spicy chicken and both boxes were demolished in short order. Not a soup person so left that untouched. What probably stole the show though was the kimchi pancake as it was amazing. Will def be back again!"

"Since moving to Dallas, I've missed Beef bibimbap with the stone bowl. I actually had it the first time in Mason, OH (suburb outside of Cincinnati) and it was quite similar. The food was very good and fresh. The pricing was reasonable as well. It's always a good sign when see people of the food's nationality eating their food which is what saw here and felt comforting. The restaurant wasn't crowded, good service and the food came out fast. I will be back and would recommend others come here."

"Beef Mongolian & Fried Rice: seasoned perfectly, generous portion, enough for two, nice balance of beef and vegetables, and the fried rice is perfect! $12.00You ain't gotta worry, it's an open invitation. I'll be sittin' right here, real patient. All day, all night, maybe I'm addicted for life, no lie."

"This little hole in the wall was GREAT! The best handmade dumplings I've ever had! I watched them make the dumplings while I ate. So, I'm guessing my noodles were handmade as well. Yum! The owner was super nice. Kimchi was good. Since I don't speak Korean, I kept my receipt so I can order again!"

Tofu Factory Korean Cuisine

"My husband and I came here during lunch when the City of Richardson was holding its Lunar New Year's festival in the Chinatown parking lot. The place was very busy. Despite this, the woman in charge was very kind, let us know how long we might have to wait (about 15 minutes), and then seated us promptly. Food is delicious! We shared a meal. We ordered the combo beef bulgogi and soft tofu soup. You get to choose the type of soft tofu soup, so we selected vegetables. We were asked what level of spiciness we wanted on a scale of 1-3. I selected 2. It wasn't spicy for me, but my husband said it was a bit too spicy for him. The soup is served in a hot stone bowl, so it stays very hot throughout the entire meal. A raw egg is provided for you to crack and place in your soup to cook and mix in as you wish. The Beef Bulgogi is sweet and comes with lots of white cooked onions. A bowl of rice is provided on the side along with an assortment of pickled or marinated vegetables like kimchi and cucumbers. I wasn't able to identify all of the items. They are served cold, but all were appetizing. There is a call button near each table. We were able to press the button to get our waitstaff's attention. This was handy because they forgot to bring our cokes and glasses. We had a pitcher of water at our table the entire time. The restaurant is quite big with large private booths. There are a few televisions on the wall showing videos of Korean pop-stars performing. The sound was muted and no captions were on, but it was still amusing to see the costumes and choreography. Other traditional items adorned the walls like fans and lanterns. It's a very casual restaurant and family friendly with lots of high chairs for kids and tables large enough for groups. We would like to return to sample other items on the menu and try the place when it isn't as crowded and busy."

"I stopped by for lunch over the weekend and was thoroughly impressed. I ordered the 3 plate combo with Beef Tartare, Pork Belly and Uni Bibimbap. I also added on the 6 piece wings.Both the Beef tartare and pork belly were prepared perfectly, and went great with the rice from the bibimbap. They gave a good amount of uni in the bibimbap.Now the wings are AMAZING! Crispy, great flavor, juicy on the inside and not overcooked. I will be back"

"The food here is so good. This is one of our favorite fast-casual korean restaurants to hit any and every time. My Korean family loves the soondae gook (blood sausage soup) and raw crab, although the soondubu (tofu soup), pork cutlet and spicy boneless wings are my favorite as someone who didn't grow up eating Korean food. Not only is the food amazing but prices are so, so good here. We like to sit in the side room in the back of the restaurant which is really quiet, but any spot in this cozy restaurant is a good one. They've recently expanded and have a banchan (korean side dishes) store next door, they've done so well.One pointer- bring your own to-go boxes! They will charge you for them."

"Best Korean style pork ribs around town. And one of our fave seafood pancakes, too. Food is always delicious and on point. They also have one of the best, generous assortment of bottomless banchan too. I particularly like their cucumbers, radish, kimchee, and fishcakes. Service is efficient and courteous. Ambiance is solid (what you would think for a strip mall Asian place) - bustling during crowded times with a lively set of customers - as you would expect. We are always super happy when we have had a meal here. Highly recommend!"

"A hidden gem! I came here because it was open pretty late and my mom and I were craving Korean food. Service was quick, and the interior was comfortable and clean.We ordered a seafood green onion pancake and two beef tofu soups. Lemme tell you.. that this was the best seafood pancake I've ever had. I usually don't care for it much but my mom loves it so we got it. The pancake was huge and thinly battered so it was extra crispy, and it had so much green onion in it! The seafood in it tasted fresh as well. The sauce that it comes with is also delicious. Our tofu soup was also really good, and the perfect spice level for me! You can also adjust the spice level to your liking when you order. For the sides, they were pretty good but I wish it came with normal kimchi as well, but not a big deal.You MUST come try their seafood green onion pancake, it changed my life!!"

"date visited: 09.13.2024ordered: soy garlic wings quantity was good but the sauce was so thick and gritty that it made the wings soggy. the batter was also too wet in my opinion, but the quantity is decent for the price.service took forever even though we were one of the only groups seated. radish cost extra and also the kimchi banchan was watery and a bit bland. their dry wings (the yangyum in particular) looked a lot better. fries were fine. would go somewhere else esp if you're in the carrollton area!"

"Oh my goodness!! We were a little fuzzy when we ordered yesterday morning... intended to order 6 sets of soup dumplings. Instead we'd ordered 6 dumpling soups... well, we were having a party for a birthday friend of ours and had to order the soup dumplings as well...I'm so glad we made the mistake and ended up having to try their dumpling soup too! The broth was light and the dumplings sooo good! All homemade by the mom and daughter. Soooo good!"

"We came today for the tofu and spicy pork bulgogi combo! The restaurant was busy but they got us in without waiting for a long time :) I really like how clean and bright this place is. The food is delicious and well balanced with great selection of banchan.Beef Tofu: very tasty and flavourful but a bit saltyBulgogi: a little dry but very good stillService: they were busy so it was a little hard to get their attention. Still, they did get us extra jap chae and got the bill on time. Will come again soon! Especially when it's not so busy because I think it might be a home run for us since it's a good restaurant to grab Korean food."

Charm Juk

★★★★★ 4.5 (228) • $$

"One of my favorite comfort food offerings in the DFW area! Every time a gluten-free/celiac friend of mine is in the area we try to hit up Charm Juk because they offer delicious and generously portioned rice porridges that she can actually eat. My go-to is the abalone juk, which is has a delightful seafood flavor and comes with sides of marinated mushrooms, bean sprouts, and some finely chopped gochujang pickles. I've also enjoyed the oyster juk, the fresh fish juk, and the mixed seafood juk. My friend always gets the chicken juk and loves it. Most recently, my husband and I also tried their beef patty, and it was pretty delightful.Piping hot porridge is perfect cold weather or getting-over-an-illness food. It also manages to retain heat amazingly well. I once ordered the juk to-go, did some shopping at the H-Mart next door, and got home about an hour and a half after picking up the food to find that the porridge was still a great temperature to eat, no reheating necessary. Can't wait for the next time I come back!"

Arirang Korean Kitchen

"I didn't realize it was a "self serve". Once food is ready, you bring it to your table & grab your own utensils, etc. once you're done, you must return everything to the front. My friend wanted to come here while us gals spend the weekend back in TX. The amount of food you get for the cost is worth it. There's a lot of food! Unfortunately, I've realized as I get older, my tolerance for spice has diminished. I was unable to finish the Kim chi noodle based soup.They also make their own Kim chi! I'm going back to get a jar before I head back home!"

★★★★☆ 3.9 (126) • $$

"Moobongri is one of my favorite korean restaurants in the hmart area. Top 5. Seriously. I'm surprised I haven't wrote a review for it. We don't eat here often so we don't get burned out on it. We seem to not eat at our favorite places often for whatever reason. Before pandemic..the rice, kimchi, and radish kimchi was all self served. I assume people took advantage of the unlimited rice and kimchi or they just stopped doing it that way because of covid. I've tried a bunch of their soups but I always tend to get the spicy pork soup. Gamjatang. I love it so much. They definitely don't white it down and I love them for it. The spicy blood sausage soup, spicy beef soup, ox knee and ox bone soup are all great. Seasoning for the ox knee and bone soup are on the table. It's facing old Denton near BBQ chicken. You can't miss it."

"This is not a swanky place, in fact it's funky and kind of quirky. For instance, one alcove makes you wonder if it's a part time child care. BUT, the FOOD! Delicious, everything is cooked as you wait. I'm gluten-free and not by choice, but lots of options that I didn't feel like I was going to be stuck eating only salad or in this case, kimchi. My husband ordered the Korean pancake, different name, and it was so fresh I stole a bite, gut health be damned. We tried only a few items as it was between lunch and later dinner plans, but everything was perfect. The service was personable and homey, very welcoming. Don't go on Sunday as they were closed, that was our next trip. We've already planned the next trip with my adult kids. Loved it!"

"This place is legit, homemade, authentic Korean food. Everything is fresh and their sides (banchon) are second to none both in variety and taste. The kimchi is one of the best I've had anywhere. I drive all the way here from Frisco because it's that good. It's located in a very modest shopping center but don't let that fool you. It's amazing!"

"Pretty pricey tbh for average Korean food and very casual ambiance. We went for lunch and paid $18 for veggie bibimbap. I've paid less for dinner. Overall it was fine, not sure if I would necessarily return. You do get complimentary miso soup and a platter of Korean side dishes which is typical of many Korean joints."

Ari Korean BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.2 (432) • $$

"The food at Ari is solid. I normally eat at Ari with family, and every type of meat is delicious. I also love that you get a bottomless serving of side salad consisting of spring mix lettuce, as well as the usual side dishes (banchan) that are typically served at Korean restaurants. A cool feature here is the space on the borders of the grill for cooking eggs and cheese with corn. The kids especially seem to love them.I'm finally writing this review because, after frequenting the Plano location of Ari countless times, we recently came to the Carrollton location, and I could not help but notice the impeccable service. Our server made sure we always had eggs and cheese with corn cooking on the side, and we never had to ask for more water. In fact, I don't recall having to ask the server for refills or extras of anything. Kudos to the staff at the Carrollton Ari. I highly recommend this place for anyone craving Korean barbeque."

Service was very slow because there were not enough servers. 4star for food -1 star for poor management"

"I got the jalapeño cream cutlet and it was really good! The only spicy part is the sauce so you can have it on the side to dip if you're not sure about spiciness level. It's fried nicely and the cheese and meat went together so well. The macaroni salad was also tasty. The only thing is I wished there was more rice to balance the cutlet. But this is the first time I've ever seen this anywhere so it's nice they're bringing something different to try!My friend got the hamburger steak and that was also super good! It kinda looks like a Hawaiian loco mocco (which is more salty with gravy) but it was totally different! This place had a more tomato based sauce that is slightly sweet. So more like a Filipino spaghetti sauce you could say? Anyways, I like the hamburger steak here more than loco mocco's. It's good for ppl who preference Marinara sauce over brown gravy."

Dal Dong Nae

★★★★☆ 4.3 (234) • $$

"17 years later after being the first review of Dal Dong Nae, I'm still coming back for their late night Korean food goodness. After a long day at work I can count on this place to stay open late and provide me sustenance. We ordered the pan fried dumplings to start, then spicy pork belly and a beef rib soup. The dumplings were crispy and had a thin skin which is barely holding in all of the still moist filling. The spicy pork belly is spicy, but not too spicy to make me sweat. Eating with a bowl of the multigrain purple rice helps to bring down the heat. The soup had large chunks of rib meat with bones and love the flavor of the softened radish in this soup! Of course I'm not eating this all by myself, but have the help of my wife. Well, I think our eyes were bigger than our stomachs and ordered too much food. We're having to take a lot of food home. You won't leave hungry! I think before we ordered we forgot about the full spread of ban chan that they provide to go with your meal. Over the years I believe the ownership of Dal Dong Nae has changed hands, but their newer owner Jeanie is an experienced Korean restaurateur in the Dallas area that keeps up, if not improving the menu and flavor that this restaurant has provided over the years. It has a home-cooked feel like an auntie provides."

"One of my favourite fried chicken spot. As I get older I try to stay away from fried food or eating super late... however, I love this place! And I've missed it! Was in the area and thought of this place around 9.30pm? So glad my bf was like okay let's eat! The fried chicken here is always fresh! And they double fry it to make sure it's crispy, crunchy and juicy!!! I always get the original or original spicy. You can't go wrong. Today we ordered a half of that and half yang yum chicken. Make sure to get extra spicy! 10/10!The curly fries were so crispy and seasoned!My fav was their crack chicken nuggets. The cheesy powder and spicy seasoning was night but the meat! Fried sooooo well!!!Can't wait to go back for another cheat day!"
