Jang Choong Dong

Came here wanting some Korean food and the usual places were closed. Of note, the food here is quite authentic, and a lot of the staple things you might see popularized are absent from the menu. Service was good, they have call buttons for you to ask for refills on your sauces and sides. The restaurant was quite busy, with a low-key ambiance but the waitstaff got our meals and orders out very quickly. On to the food- I had the pork belly wrapped in lettuce and kimchi on top. It was a tad expensive, but the cuts of meat were of good quality, and if you like savory with kimchi, this is the order to get. I had the gamjatang also, but unfortunately discovered that I'm not a fan of perilla, so can't comment too much on the soup. Check it out if you're wanting a good chunk of meat with good sauce for a decent value.

My friends and I stopped in for lunch one day and we all got the gamjatang. It was super filling and the bowl was overflowing. The soup comes with rice on the side and some banchan including picked onions, kimchi, and radish kimchi. The banchan paired well with the savory, meaty flavor of the meat and cut the fatty taste of the meat. My favorite part of the soup was the potato, although there was only one large chunk, I wish there was more.As for the interior it's pretty spacious and there are plenty of tables. The servers are attentive and the food comes out quickly (and HOT). I enjoyed the soup, however because it's so heavy/rich I'm not sure if I would crave this anytime soon. I do want to return to try the other menu items.

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.

Offering something more than your usual bibimbap and bulgogi (which they also have), this restaurant also serves up two less mainstreamed but yummy Korean dishes! Jokbal: pork trotters, sliced thinly and served with lettuce and sauces for a wrap. I liked these reheated and steamed at home, since they get much softer when warm! Soondae / sundae: blood sausage, made with vermicelli in the middle. It doesn't have that iron-y taste! I usually dab the pieces into the seasoned salt, but these were soft (some may say mushy) and tasty bites on their own. Super tasty! The soup that came with it was a mild bone broth soup with lots of organ meats (intestines, tongue), chives, and vermicelli. Not much kick or flavor but warms up the soul, and I suppose that's what all the sauces were for as well! Prices are a little steep for the main meat entrees but the serving size definitely offsets it! We had tons of leftovers. The medium jokbal was gigantic, probably enough for 4+ meals! Instead of attempting to flag the staff down, the service button was convenient to use :) Our waitress and waiters were friendly and to the point. Overall, would come back if I'm especially craving that Soondae! But also to try the other soups :D

The food was delicious. I like how the Galbi was marinated just right and that the bed of onions was cooked just right so you avoid that raw onion taste. The Bossam was cooked as expected like every Korean Restaurant place I've been to. The Soondae was really soft and nicely presented. The soup that came with the meat dishes was kind of meh. The BonChan that came with was okay, nothing special. The kimchi was a little sweeter than what I like.The customer service was great. Our waiter arrived as soon as the table bell was rang and he even took time check on us when we didn't summon him. The ambiance was wonderful for my family to seat, talk and eat. The music was at a nice volume where we could talk without raising our voice. They also gave us a tumbler as their anniversary gift. Highly recommend this place for something comforting during this cold weather.

Food was great and came out very quickly, which I appreciate. I also like that we can just ring a bell if we need anyone. The food here is pretty much all pork and some beef, so if you're not a fan of those, it's not for you. I didn't give full stars because I think there should at least be some appetizer options and more sides. We only got three sides which is quite little

Exploring Jang Choong Dong Korean Restaurant in Bellaire was a delightful experience. Nestled in a spacious shopping plaza, parking was hassle-free. The staff showcased kindness and flexibility, saving my table during the wait and offering drinks. The modern Korean vibes, complemented by K-pop music, set an enjoyable atmosphere. They presented enticing deals, including happy hours and their app.Moving on to the food, it was a highlight. Despite ordering the medium size, portions were generous. The Wang Jokbal, chosen for its purported skincare benefits, proved to be an excellent choice--well-prepared with a subtle pork taste. The Soondae combination showcased boiled blood sausage, beef intestine, and meat, all impeccably prepared and bursting with flavor. The Dweji Gukbap's savory soup, enriched with quality ingredients, offered a depth of delightful tastes. Overall, Jang Choong Dong is recommended for a unique, traditional Korean dining experience.

This was my first time here at jang choong dong and I'm glad i decided to stop by! I ordered the gamjatang and it was very tasty and flavorful. The meat fell off the bone and overall just tasted SO GOOD!! The broth pairs up so well with some steamed rice, still thinking about this meal i really liked it. The service was quick and the servers were also very attentive! Will be back.

Have only been here once so far, but plan on many return trips. We ordered the sundae combo, the neck bone jjigea, and the intestine jjigea. All were outstanding. The sundae was some of the best I've had in Houston, tender, flavorful, sooooo much better than the ones you get at H-Mart (go figure? ). The intestine and organ meats thst came with it as a combo were clean and tasty. The neck bone jjigea was overflowing and packed with meat bones for your gnawing pleasure. Soup had depth and left that wonderful stickiness on your lips. The intestine jjigea was equally good and a great hangover meal as it's traditionally meant to be. So many other menu choices, so will have to have a few more visits to make our way around. Definitely worth a visit!

Food - 10/10 the Gamjatang was sooooo good. I'm so glad I finally had a chance to try this place and that I finally got to try Gamjatang. A very flavorful broth with big pieces of pork neck and two small pieces of potato. There was also some cabbage in the soup as well. And I especially enjoyed eating it with the Banchan provided, in particular the pickled onions. But I really couldn't get enough of the radish and regular kimchi either. I ordered some to go to take home. I asked the waiter if I could try just a little blood sausage as I've never had it before and the owner obliged. I was going to pay for it either way but they let me try it for free which was incredibly nice. It wasn't for me but I could see why people could like it though. Service - 10/10 Great service. The food came out quickly, they filled my water when it was needed and made sure I was happy with the food which I definitely was. Ambiance - 10/10 Lots of Korean memorabilia on the walls, Korean music, etc. it's a Korean restaurant. I liked the inside. Please go check this place out. Great food and service.
