    Korean army soup
    Jeff K.

    Not sure why the name on yelp doesn't match the name of the actual store. Also the location on yelp is wrong, the location in google is actually correct. put this into your gps instead: 2625 Old Denton Rd ste600, Carrollton, TX 75007 this place is entirely self service. You pick up your food, you get your own water, and you clean up your table. Anyways, after visiting h-mart so many times i ended up checking this place out. When we walked in it wasn't too busy and i really like the fact that they have separate booth seating. I believe there are 4-5 different booths, which is excellent for privacy. they also have 4 tables off to the right side. i noticed they also have a separate dining room with more seats as well. We ended up getting the dogani tang and the Budae Jjigae, perfect for after the ice/storm that covered DFW. it took about 10 minutes or so for them to get it ready. You need to pick it up yourself in the front. Each dish comes with different banchan, which i found really cool. the dogani tang came with raw crab which i've been meaning to try! Both dishes were delicious and definitely a lot of food to get you food. for the price we paid, i think it was a very solid meal. I'll definitely be back.

    Ajumma is where you go to get the local neighborhood restaurant vibes. None of their dishes are fancy, they're not meant to be. It's meant to give you that homemade taste. It's probably why they're so popular. I really like their tonkatsu dish, tteokbokki (it's really spicy though), and bibimbab. If you go on certain days they also have really good items at the cash register table: korean chicken nuggets, seasoned dried squid, etc... I heard their kimchi is one of the most well liked around the area. The service is good as well.

    Probably one of my fav Korean restaurants in DFW! My go to order is always the stir fried squid and sometimes they can be too spicy or salty but here it's perfect and I can eat the entire serving no problem! They also give you a good amount of squid whereas some places don't and give more veggies than squid. Their soups/stews are also very good and the sides they would provide are radishes, cabbage kimchi and fish cakes which are my top favs to have and the kimchi isn't too salty or sour either! Service is very nice and as expected for a Korean restaurant and feels very homey and comfortable. They have extra seating areas in 2 other rooms if you see the main area being crowded. Ordering to go from here is also just as good!

    Food is always so good and comes out fast. Small spot but the flavor is always there!

    I love this spot, I decided to try it out since i was going to H mart anyways. Their soup was amazing, it came out super hot and was the perfect amount of spice. The spicy rice cakes were also amazing. The prices are reasonable and i had plenty of leftovers. The kimchi is also some of the best i've ever tasted. I will definitely be back

    A little Deli style place for Korean food. Casual no alcohol but good price a d great food. There are decent number of tables you can sit and enjoy the food. Bus your own table after the meal. Come here if you just want good Korean food and don't care about fancier service or alcohol.

    Raw marinated crab (banchan) with No. 3 - so good!
    Cleda W.

    Every time I visit family in DFW, I always request that one of our family meals is here. I live in the Midwest and I can't get marinated crab or blood sausage. This place is my favorite. There are pictures at the counter if you're not sure what to get. Once you order, you just find a table for yourself and they will call your number (listed on your receipt). I always get the No. 3 (spicy soondae soup) because it's one of only things that comes with the raw marinated crab as a banchan (side). We've been here during the weekdays, but came on a Sunday today and the parking lot was packed. Plenty of parking near IHOP and it was a short walk.

    Katsu size was great and very crispy. The sauce was a little too sweet/sour for my taste but it made for a not super dry meal which was great. Wished rice serving had more and wished they gave some banchan to snack on during the meal. Ladies at the counter were very nice and offered us some free soup which was super dope.

    Army Stew, Rolled Egg, Kimchi, Rice
    Lucie N.

    FOOD Tteokbokki - the texture of the rice cake was good. It was chewy and not too stiff. The fish cake was good. Spicy but not too spicy. Pretty ok overall. Sundae - Doesn't taste smelly which is good. The sausage has good texture with chewiness from the glass noodles and blood. Served with other meats as well. Stir fried squid with rice - They gave pretty decent sized portions of squid. There was not much grill flavor as other places around the area but the seasoning and the texture is really good. It came with rolled egg, kimchi, and rice. The rice is some type of bean rice that tastes good. The rolled egg was kind of mid and the kimchi was really good! The portions are decent sized for their price and would definitely recommend as comfort food. Food quality is pretty yummy! VIBES This place gives very home and comfort vibes. The walls have calligraphy ink style wallpaper. You order food then go sit anywhere. There soft benches as well as chairs that are divided by short wall dividers. SERVICE Most of the people serving or taking order are Korean aunties with limited English. I definitely recommend telling them the number to order if you don't speak Korean.

    Super affordable and satisfying Korean food located in the same plaza as H mart. There are many photos of kimbap on their Yelp page, but just know they no longer sell kimbap. I came to try the soondae and it did not disappoint. They also sell whole frozen soondae as well. Although this place is self service, the ladies taking and giving our orders at the counter were very sweet. There is also a room to the right where they sell premade banchans, soups, rice cakes and mochis. The food was good and we had plenty to take home. Would definitely come back to feed my soondae cravings.

    Sundubi-jjigae, seafood udon, pork bulgogi, bulgogi, and fish cake soup
    Hoa N.

    MY FAVORITE KOREAN PLACE IN DFW!! I came all the way from New Orleans just to eat here again. Cannot go wrong with any dish. The spicy soondooboo is perfect to pair with any of their dishes. Their pork bulgogi has an addicting flavor with a huge portion size compared to other Korean restaurants. The udon is sooo yummy, but I wished they gave more noodles. The rice cake soup was only $4!!! I always look forward to eating here when shopping around the Korean area in Carrollton. This is truly a hidden gem with affordable prices with huge portions.

    Spicy Soondaeguk
    Tom L.

    This is going to be a long review. TL;DR - delicious, cheap, come and try it! This place looks unsuspecting like a tiny cafe from the outside, but is actually a large homely korean cafe on the inside. Everything is self serve for utensils, water, and returning plates to the shelf in the back next to the counter/kitchen. Prices are cheap, servings are generous, and service is very fast. Don't be fooled by the outside or even the view by the entrance - there is LOTS of seating. There are a bunch of large and small tables by the entrance. If those are full then there's a room further in with more tables inside. At Korean restaurants I always worry I won't hear them call my order, but here they call order numbers over the intercom which is loud, clear, and automated. We ordered a Spicy Soondaeguk (spicy Korean pork blood vege sausage stew), Dogani (beef tendon stew), and a Tonkatsu (pork cutlet). Every stew comes with a bowl of purple rice, kimchi radish and cabbage, and a side of sweet raw crab. The tonkatsu came with Cole slaw, purple rice, and ginger. I'm pretty picky when it comes to kimchi but the kimchi here was spicy, refreshing, and delicious. The soondaeguk is absolutely an acquired taste. The sausage didn't have much blood flavor and had plenty of clear noodles. The broth was thick and delicious, and came with copious amounts of meat and veggies. The dogani was also the same - lots of beef tendon, thick delicious broth, and plenty of clear noodles that were full of flavor. The tonkatsu's outside was thin and a little crunchy, meat was flavorful, and was drenched in tonkatsu sauce with mayonnaise drizzled on top.

    My go-to korea food place! They have such a variety so you can choose from whatever you're craving. The ladies are super sweet and the restaurant vibe is giving korea nostalgia. My favorite food there is sundae bokkem (spicy stir fried blood sausage) and soy marinated crabs. They also opened a banchan (side dishes) by the entrance and they sell all the yummy side dishes which is perfect with rice. I can never get sick of the foods here!!!

    Pork blood sausage stew comes with purple rice and banchan (side dishes) like kimchi and radish kimchi

All of the meats we tried were really good quality, but the Jeju black pork (the "Wagyu" of pork) was definitely the standout for me! I'm also a huge banchan person, and the banchan here did not disappoint! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the soups were really good too. Another plus is that they cook the meat for you, so you can actually sit back, enjoy your meal, and talk instead of constantly keeping an eye on the grill. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and can feel pretty crowded, especially when it's busy. Table space is also limited, and the stool seating is not exactly great for back support lol. Combined with the long wait, I probably wouldn't come here if I was in a rush or looking for a super comfortable, leisurely dinner, but rather for special occasions! I'd definitely come back but just be prepared for a potentially long wait!

The owner was there and while initially I thought the service was a bit slow, the owner was the one that really turned our experience around. The food definitely was already giving five star vibes! Located about ten minutes north of Carrollton Korea town, nestled in a smaller plaza, is this amazing Korean fried chicken! Normally, I am not the biggest fan of the saucy marinated chicken but I tried the sweet Korean and the honey garlic and both were amazing! Crispy and crunchy on the outside, moist chicken on the inside and came out piping fresh! We also ordered their original boneless with a refreshing green onion salad that compliments the boneless chicken so well!!! All washed down with an ice cold TERRA! We also ordered Seoddok seoddok Which is a crispy chewy rice cake and Korean sausage on a stick drizzled with a sweet and spicy sticky sauce! 10/10 as well. Whether you're visiting or a local, this place is a MUST TRY! There is a common practice in Korean culture in their restaurants and retail Shops that's called "service," which basically equates to "on the house" in American culture. The owner gave us two types of shaved ice on the house and it was the perfect and refreshing dessert to end and round our whole experience!!! PSA: first you pick the type chicken - boneless, wings, or the whole chicken cut into pieces. Then, you pick your batter: golden crispy batter, fried batter, or yorienn batter. I recommend the classic KFC style FRIED BATTER! Lastly, pick your sauce! I still dream of this chicken place and it's only been a week since we tried it. I already want to go back and my mouth literally drools thinking about it!

One thing I do want to mention for future reference: our waitress gave us a free shaved ice, which was a really sweet gesture, but she didn't tell us what was in it.

I definitely recommend letting customers know the ingredients in complimentary food or drinks, especially since you never know what allergies someone may have.
