Roy C. "Pro: Great chicken to be had! In a search for some fried "yard bird" in the outskirts of Houston, I was absolutely delighted to find this place! BB.Q offers an amazing Korean twist on an American staple. The Golden Original Chicken was fried nicely without being too greasy. Not to be outdone was the Bulgogi Fries. This order of marinated meat sitting over some good ol' sticks of potatoes is sure to stick to one's ribs! And for the chicken wing enthusiasts who prefer their bird on the saucy and spicy side, the Spicy Galbi Wings were just that: saucy and spicy! Not only did I enjoy every bite, I returned to the place the same day to savor the flavor! Yes, I liked it that much!Con: Ordering online versus over the phone for takeout actually costs a slight bit more due to service charges. Meh...small price to pay. Bottom Line: Twice on one day...yes! I did that...and might do it again!"

Diana C. "We stumbled upon this specialty restaurant on a Friday evening and were extremely satisfied with what we got! Wanting to try something new, this was definitely a first check mark on our long list of things to try.The interior is nice and clean and the waitstaff is extremely patient and knowledgeable. The menu isn't very expansive, it is definitely a speciality restaurant with mostly jokbal (pig feet), bossom (pork belly) and blood sausage.We went 04/2024 and they had a promotion for $20off $50 if you download their app and sign up for their rewards program. For two adults and one kid, we ended up ordering M5, M6 and M9.First comes first, the banchan! You get 3 different dishes, Kim chi, a salty/sweet pickled radish and pickled cabbage with jalepenos. All were good.The M5, beef neck bone soup with cabbage and bean sprouts had a subtle and delicious flavor. It wasn't too heavy and was a nice additional to our meat heavy dishes.M6 is the jokbal. In lieu of order a giant portion for the two of us, we shared the individual order and it was more than enough (along with our other dishes). It came with lettuce, slices of raw garlic and Jalepeno and a soybean dipping sauce. Wrapping up a little bit of everything is the way to go. Delicious, fatty pork combined with the saltiness and spiciness of the banchan made for a great first experience.M9 is the Galbi. Tender, super flavorful and served on a huge bed of sliced cooked-ish onions, this was a hit for us. All our dishes came with rice, which complimented the Galbi perfectly. The meat wasn't chewy, it was tender and cooked well.After taxes, our bill came out to $65 but we were able to apply the $20 coupon, make this meal (which served as two more meals for us afterwards!) was definitely worth it."

We came by and ordered for dine in, which was a mistake; the chicken took about 40 min to come out. Would recommend calling ahead or doing takeout going forward. We got curly fries and a whole chicken. Portion size is very fair and the chicken is sauced very well and overall very solid KFC. It definitely rivals Krisp for me for the best chicken joint in the area."

I love every bite, and it's hearty and thick and greasy and perfect.The Yuk Gae Jang is also great, it's so good that you'll never say Yuk, not even if you're a Gae. Jang.Service here is wonderful, especially some of the girls that work here are some of the nicest employees around Houston, and prices are excellent as well, in fact it's easily the cheapest version of Korean soups in Houston, while also being the very very best. Their sides are also some of the best around, with some good kimchi and great Seafood pancakes and bean sprouts, and the greasy potato side is one of Barbi's faves anywhere.The Yuk Gae Jang is excellent and tastes a lot more healthy than the tofu. When you ask for extra spicy they make it nice and spicy without up charging, and all in all, it ends up being one of my favourite places to eat in all of Houston.So if you need a shopping center, don't you WORRYGet down to this Market and do it in a HURRYThe sales won't last forever, so come on, SCURRYCome and investigate like Mulder and SCULLYEven if your favourite kitten's being extra PURRYAnd even if its made your favourite outfit look FURRYAnd even if you're in the middle of a Thai Green CURRYEven if you spill your sauce cup of CHIMICHURRIEven if your vision is Puddle O Muddy (BLURRY)Even if you have to drive a Semi here (a LORRY)Even if Short Round wants Fortune & GLORYEven if the sale price is only half the STORYEven if New Labour just lost to a TORYEven if the movie that you're watching is GORYEven if up next is an encore of Finding DORYEven if you're cuddling with a stripper named LORIEven if Justin Bieber knows it's too late to say SORRYEven if you speed here, and cause a FUROREEven if you have to wear a diaper (no LAVATORY)Even if this all means something else (an ALLEGORY)Even if this all sounds Pakistani (like, LAHORE-Y)Even if you end up moving to this mall (you're MIGRATORY)Even if you pee inside the store (mark TERRITORY)Even if you buy 1 thing from each store (OBLIGATORY)Even if your teacher got convicted (STATUTORY)Even if a slur is aimed at you (DEROGATORY)Even if Kennedy did not get shot from the DEPOSITORYAnd even if there's no heaven or hell or PURGATORYAnd even if Oasis never did have MORNING GLORYAnd even if I engineered this rap in a LABORATORYIt's time for you to depart your depressing DORMITORYAnd go and get some soup from YORI YORIWHAT!"

Tteokbokki - (5/5) the owner told me she uses the spicy seafood soup broth to make the tteokbokki sauce. Makes sense considering this is the best tteobbokki I've had in Houston.The spice level was plenty for the average person. Jjajangmyeon - I haven't had this dish much so I wasn't sure what to rank it. It's good, but I really enjoyed the other two dishes a lot so this didn't shine as bright.

Victor H. "After walking in Terry Hershey park on a Sunday evening in late April, something in my taste buds hankered for some KFC (Korean Fried Chicken). I don't know how it came about, guess it was due to being near Spring Branch which contains a multitude of KFC options. With so many to chose from, my randomly decided on this one due to the reviews.After placing an order online, I rolled here to scoop up my order. Upon walking in, everything was ready for me (thumbs up to the staff for that). I pondered as to why the interior of the dining area was on the darker side; maybe people like eating their chicken in shadowy areas? After snapping out of my own thoughts, I got back home and unwrapped everything to dig in.I went with half original and half creamy onion based on the YELP photos. Also went with an order of fried dumplings as a warm up. Probably could've done without the dumplings and just ordered more chicken or a different starter since they didnt' taste that special to me. Now the chicken on the other hand was crispy, greasy, juicy, salty, all the profiles you want in fried chicken. The Korean kind does these at the highest level which is why people are obsessed with it. Chicken also has mini fried rice cakes mixed in which compliment the chicken well. The creamy onion came on the side so I kept pouring/dipping the chicken into it since it's like an addiction. Sweet creams are made of these!I plan on trying other flavors next time such as honey butter and spicy soy and other apps such as their fries, corn cheese, and coleslaw. So far, a good impression."

DeWayne R. "Remembered, my first experience here not being very good (about two years ago), due to their being an overzealous waiter who talked our ears off about everthing from sneakers to hats and that the Korena Fried Chicken was overcooked. I always feel like some places deserve a second chance, so since I work close to this location I decided to give it a redo.Took a trip during a late lunch break, after the noon rush, and found the place pretty empty. Interestingly enough, it still took someone over f ive minutes to even acknowledge that I was even there, even though there was a lady behind the bar - just steps from me. Someone finally came and took my order of the chicken strips, fries, and a drink. While waiting, I noticed that some of the tables weren't clean. I'm sure that the lunch rush was just ending, but no one was really attending to the tables during my time there. My food came out, after a little wait, and the presentation was OK, but the fry order looked a bit light and I had to ask for ketchup, even thought there was a little place for it on the fench fry holder. I was then given half a container of ketchup (see images). The taste of the spicy sauce was nice, but after a single bite of each chicken strip the batter fell right off of the strip. I don't recall ever seeing that before. I don't know what to do after this visit. I guess we'll see."

My hubs and I decided to make it a dinner date Friday night and check out this new place nestled between a CBD smoke shop and a Mexican frutería place...and a Subway...parking is small and limited...The inside ambiance could use a little pizazz!!! It was definitely lacking decor and really embodied the "hole in the wall" atmosphere! Even though we didn't announce it was our first time, it would've been nice to know what's special or what they are known for since there was a fusion of Vietnamese and Korean food on their menu... Staff was friendly but not really present or seemed excited about their new place... We ordered:-Brown Sugar Milk Tea with Almond Pudding -Mango Passionfruit boba with Lychee Jelly -wish I could've adjusted the ice and sugar levels like other boba places...not sure if it's a thing here or not -6 pc wings (mild) with fries The fries were basic. Salted but no seasoning and nothing special The wings were either mild or spicy (no other flavor options) just sesame chicken/soy sauce style -Medium popcorn chicken Same with the popcorn chicken...flavor wise it was the same as the wings but spicy...lacked crispy-ness and was overly salty...They have a self-service utensils, napkins, and sauce bar but didn't really explain what it was for...All in all, I wished that they would've told us their story and what menu items to try...we do want to go back and try the egg rolls and banh mi...I'd recommend their wings but Not their popcorn chicken....Boba was ok!..."

It was one of the better AYCE KBBQ experiences I have had; the staff did a nice job of changing the grill plate out regularly and bringing out the requested dishes. Quality of meat cuts and portions were all good in my eyes, in some instances I was surprised by how much they gave, even though it is AYCE - you tend to see places do smaller portions and have you continuously ask for more, but not the case here. You have 90-min for lunch AYCE, and that was plenty. We were stuffed when we left and for a good amount of time afterwards! Parking: on-site in large shopping center parking lot."

I'd have to say, their customer service is top notch and I felt like I was treated like a family member there. Shout-out to Marc and Mama An, they know how to deliver exceptional service and gave me such a great experience. The food is high quality and lots of it is made inhouse, from the kimchi to the soju. Do not skip out on the soju! Its so delicious, but a little dangerous...it's pretty strong. I never had soju that was made in-house before so that was awesome. All the meats were delicious and the king crab was oh so good. Definitely recommend. I also like the fact their ventilation system it allows me to go home not smelling like bbq! Overall this Korean bbq is the best in town. I am critical when it comes to food and service that translates to customer experience. All of that goes hand in hands and Mapojeong gave me their 100%."

I always get the tofu stew every time I'm here. It's my comfort food and pair with the LA galbi makes a great combo. The large bossam could feed 4-6 people. We can never finish it especially when you're also eating all the sides and other dishes. I have also tried kbbq here with a group. We were seated in a private room.

It was nice and thick and chewy, but I do think the outside could have been a little crispier. We also got the spicy pork bulgogi.

This is not one of them.On Long Point, you'll find this absolutely delicious Korean food from this little restaurant on the north side of the street. The service isn't always great, but it's not bad, and we definitely like the soup here. We do want them to crank up the spice several levels next time we come though. But we love Korean food, and this is one of the better places to get it in Houston.Now if you've been to Busch Gardens or Madison Square Garden or the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ, then you know that there are many gardens, and some of them are not altogether pleasant. But there is only one garden that serves utterly spectacular Korean food. Indeed, this is the "Sole Garden" where you will find food this delicious. And when Barbi poses here without shoes, it really is "Sole Garden."Regardless, you must give SG a try. It is a really lovely restaurant with really nice decor. We love coming here, particularly as they have good Korean soups for a very affordable price. They can be a friendly bunch, and the soups in particular, as I said, are definitely worth coming in and trying."Solo Garden" might sound like the title of a home-made video of what you might do when it's nice outside, and you have high fences around your yard, and you really need some erotic release as well as some fresh air at the same time. However in this case, it has nothing to do with that, and I've specifically graphically asked the owners, and they assure me it has nothing to do with that.There's lots of great Korean food along Long Point Road, and I wish they could make it a little more spicy, the way we like it. Because that's the way, aha, aha, we like it, aha, aha.Thanks for reading my review. I shall now start my new life with dogs and cats (already got the cats) and a family and a white picket fence. I can already imagine looking for a kindergarten for my kids. Actually I think there is only one around here that I would trust to look after my kids. It is the "Sole (Kinder) garten" that I trust.

They set up the sides as a buffet style which was smart cuz rather than continuing to ask our waiter for more sides we can get it ourselves. Also they had premade entrees like chicken & fried shrimp. But you're here for the meat so why fill up on that stuff??They have a wide range of meat selection such as brisket to Bulgogi to pork belly. They all came out in a reasonable amount of time. If you need to grab the waiters attention, there's a light switch at your booth which would signal one of them to come to you. One thing tho is that they don't have rice paper but we was able to manage. Overall this place is great and would highly recommend this place."

There was a generous amount of crunchy, breaded pork katsu, which was deliciously paired with curry and rice. The California rolls were a hit also, with plenty of imitation crab meat.

Sometimes we love every bite and sometimes we don't love it as much.Some of the most unique and delicious and original homestyle home cooking of Korean food. Including all the soups that we love. Very inconsistent with the spice level, this little tiny restaurant represents the very best of what home-cooked Korean food can be.Nothing like your prototypical Korean restaurants, and every bit a wonderful little experience, which is very different every time.It has formally entered the rankings as one of the top five Korean places to eat food in all of Houston for us. It's very cheap as well and we highly recommend it to anybody.Yori Yori inside 99 Ranch nearby is my fave for soup, and Tofu Village is Chinatown's best, but here in Spring Branch, and if you want really home-cooking style, you won't get much better than Dokdo.And overall it's one of the best places we've been to for Korean, and one of the most family style Korean restaurants we've ever visited, so we can give it 5 stars, and deservedly so.We will so, so be back.Now we'll finish with Otis Redding.Sittin' in the mornin' sunI'll be sittin' when the evenin' comesWatching the soups roll inThen I put them all away again, yeahI'm sittin' on the Dokdo with BaeWatchin' the soups roll away, oohI'm just sittin' at the Dokdo with BaeWastin' timeI left my home in MontroseHeaded up the Spring Branch way'Cause I've had nothin' to live forIt look like nothin's gonna come my waySo I'm just gon' sittin' on the Dokdo with BaeWatchin' the soups steam all dayI'm sittin' at the Dokdo with BaeEating mine"

Arie W. "I drove 45 minutes, walked 19 minutes then drove another 12 minutes and paid $20 for parking just to get a burger. It was worth it. Their customer service is AMAZING. I had trouble finding the food truck, and they provided directions and talked me through everything. How incredible! Forever a Foreign Policy fan."
