Spicy Garlic Pork Bowl
Khanh T.

Burning rice is a hidden gem in Frisco for sure! It's like a Korean Bibimbop Chipotle style, where you can customize your bowl with your favorite toppings. I prefer my rice crispy on the bottom, and the stone kept it hot for a while. The service was fast, and there were plenty of seats available. I'll definitely be back here!

Kids Bowl

Usually love eating here this place but I just ordered a kid's bowl and chose white rice as my base. I had already eaten through most of it and realized there wasn't any rice and it was ALL japchae. I love japchae but the base is literally supposed to be rice lol. For $18.42?! Pretty disappointed lol.

Stone bowl

We decided to stop in for a quick lunch. This location is easy to find, but parking is a bit limited. I always order spicy so naturally, I ordered the Kimchi Fried Rice, Spicy Bulgogi, all the toppings, kimchi mandu and an over easy egg. I ordered my rice in a stone bowl. It provides a more authentic experience and it keeps the rice at the temperature of a thousand suns for a long time. Definitely worth the second degree burn in your mouth! If you're feeling saucy, they have all their sauces (Gochujang, soy sauce, sesame, etc) on a counter and you can get as much as you want. Before eating make sure you mix your bowl thoroughly to blend all the flavors and take big bites so you get a little bit of everything in each mouthful. This was my first time here, but I will definitely be back for more!

I ordered the hot stone bowl with tofu as my protein w/kimchi base. I loved it and would give it a 9/10. My favorite part of it was how hot the rice was. It could be spicier. I would definitely recommend and would come again

Wow, Burning Rice gives its customers a big surprise in welcoming 2024! Burning rice has always been my #1 choice for a healthy quick meal that I get to customize, and enjoy the authentic taste of Korean bibimbap. I walked in today and felt weird to see menu is simplified at the self order counter, you can only choose white rice, brown rice or noodles now, and egg comes in scrambled only, a lot of meat selections are removed, and no sauce choices. I thought, fine, they are making menu changes to make some profit and keep the same price for customers. As long as the taste doesn't change, I can still be a fan. That's not the case, I ordered white rice hot stone bowl with grilled chicken, order came, rice is a differ t kind of rice, chicken is like white boiled chicken breast, carrots and zucchini even cut differently. It's obvious Burning Rice has changed its food preparation and ingredients sources, the taste and quality is a dramatic change in downward. Honestly, this bowl is ok taste, but it's no where near what Burning Rice had to offer before, it's like those packaged chicken fried rice you can buy from Costco. Managements, do you not taste your food before committing to a change? I am convinced you will see more similar reviews through out 2024 across all burning rice locations, happy new year!

Hot stone bowl with spicy bulgogi
Linda N.

This is my go to place if I am craving bibimbap! Burning Rice never disappoints. I've been going here for over 2 years now and time the quality has always been consistent. The service is always on point. The atmosphere is pretty casual so no need to get dressed up and fancy . I got the hot stone bowl with kimchi rice, spicy bulgogi, all of the toppings (bean sprouts, carrots, noodles, broccoli, fish cake, kimchi, zucchini), and sunny side up egg. It was delish! My favorite part is letting the hot stone crispen the rice at the bottom of the bowl and scraping off the crunchy bits at the end! They also have a few sauces you can choose from to put on top. Try the gochujang sauce! It's a must if you like spicy Give Burning Rice a shot you won't regret it!

It took my family and I a year to finally dine at burning rice, but I'm so glad we did! It's so easy to order at one of their kiosks and choose from all of the different options. Service is fast and you can go pick up different kinds of sauces for your bowl. You really can't go wrong with anything you order! I'd recommended getting everything on your bowl unless you have specific dietary restrictions. A 10/10 value for money and food!

Build Your Bowl in a Stone bowl with well done egg
Arianna L.

I came here with a friend for lunch right at 11:00 when they opened and the cashier was really friendly and helped explained their menu. I got the veggie fried rice with all toppings and a well done egg in a Stone bowl. Personally I thought the portion size was very generous. The Stone bowl is nice but I do not think it is worth the extra money as your food will still be warm in the regular bowl that looks just as nice. However if you love burning your tongue, this option is great for you. I think the customizable dish is very nice feature and although the bibimbap was very tasty, it was nothing spectacular.

LA KALBI BIBBIMBAP PIC 1
Jin C.

I personally am not a huge fan of bimbimbap as I am not a huge fan of piping hot dishes. However, this was much better than I expected. Atmosphere - 4/5 - Nothing special here. You go in line and order. They bring to you when it is ready. Staff - 4/5 - Friendly. Food - What I ordered: - Kimchi Rice Bowl - 4/5 - I did not pay for the stone bowl (couple $$ more) as again, I do not like my food extra temperature hot. I did pay for the LA Galbi option ($3 more) as that is my favorite Korean meat. They have several toppings (fish cake, bean sprouts, etc....) so of course I added them all. You also get an egg (I did sunny side up). Most of the time, you add gochujang (spicy Korean paste) to it and mix it all up. I personally did enjoy this bowl much better than I thought. If you do go, I recommend the Galbi option. What is nice about the food is that there is a self serve bar for salad and soup (along with condiments). That alone does make a great value. Overall, I do recommend this place if you are just craving bimbimbap, or wanting to try for the first time.

When is the salad and soup bar going to be open again?

Does anyone know if this location is halal?

No its not halal

Do they still give you free soup and salad for takeout? We always only eat at the restaurant and never had takeout before.

Their salad bar and soup bar are closed unfortunately.

That all changed and was very noticeable during fathers day and especially this weekend during July 4th! The past few weeks when calling in to check for food availability or how busy it was, Ive noticed the same person answering every single one of my calls that I had to double take and make sure I called the right place! When I mentioned my concern about the massive line wrapped around the building during fathers day, mothers day and this weekend, the same lady named Kayla answered the phone. I was about to leave and she assured me that it would move fast and not to worry and that they had samples to ease some hunger while waiting. Sure enough, she was exactly right! To top it all off, after we got our food and sat down, she actually went above and beyond to come over to our table and check on us just because I had called to thank her for helping me from not leaving to the amazing customer service she provided. I let her know that is very rare now days and not to ever change that! I found out after meeting her that shes about to head out on maternity leave soon and honestly, I'm going to be a little sad when she leaves! She is a massive asset to the Hutchins team and can change the mood just by her smile and friendliness. Not only that, she gave a lot of good recommendations for trying some new foods at Hutchins and every time has been a good call! Give this girl a raise!! I wish Kayla the absolute best and I'll definitely be looking out for her when she gets back! Our server, I believe her name is Cynthia, was also fantastic and made sure we had everything we needed at the table. Excellent food, legendary customer service from Kayla, and a great experience overall! Its like our first time coming in each and every time.

Bbq was very good, seasoned well and the bbq sauce really was a standout. I don't usually do a lot of sauce.  Spicy was delish.

The food was good, if not the greatest BBQ I've ever had, but the overall experience was much fun. The restaurant is in the form of a large barn with ample seating and a walk-through line where you can pick out your meat and then any sides and drinks you'd like. I enjoyed having the "conundrum" of trying to figure out which of the meats to try as they stare at you from the smoker, all saying, "Pick me!" My first visit to any BBQ place is nearly always to try the pulled pork, figuring that if they can't get that right, nothing else is likely all that good. That's not always true, but since pulled pork is one of my favorites, it's a good approach anyway. :) I took my platter laden with an abundant amount of pulled pork and then selected corn on the cob, cole slaw, a slice of custard pie, and a sweet tea. After paying, I made my way into the main dining area and selected a high-top wooden table along the wall that was, shall we say, very awkward to sit at based on how the stationary stool was positioned in conjunction with the table, so I moved to a nearby regular table that was just fine. There's plenty of outdoor seating, but based on the temperature that day, I chose to stay inside. Digging in, I found the pulled pork to be good, but it was a little dry and salty. The standard house BBQ sauce was good, though, and the corn on the cob was very nice. The cole slaw was about what you'd expect, and the custard pie was tasty, even if it wasn't the best I'd ever had. The sweet tea was excellent. What I probably loved most, though, was eating all this in that environment, with the Texas-American paraphernalia hanging on the walls and a radio station playing nothing but 80s and 90s country music over the speakers--the years when I loved country the most. I wanted a BBQ experience as big as Texas while I was here, and I got that. For that reason, my visit to Hard Eight was a hit, and I will happily visit again on a future trip.

But our curiosity based on reviews and menu options got us to decide on this place. We seated ourselves as place was basically empty. Ordered Rattlesnake Bites(corn), chips and queso and waffle fried with Mojo mayo! For the main course, 4 of us got different entrees. I got the smashed burger with hill country on bed of nachos, my wife is vegetarian so she got the grilled avocado with Fajita Cantina on bowl of buttered lime rice. Our friends got Brisket on hacienda and then had switch it to hill country as the hacienda had tomatoes in queso and bowl of buttered lime rice and smoked chicken with buttered lime rice. None of the entries had any flavor. Hill country tasted like only BBQ sauce and there was not even a hint of mole. Brisket was fine but damp rice made the entree subpar Grilled avocado wqs grilled and again the rice was damp. Smoked Chicken was hard as well. Appetizers were the only good part of experience. Waitress stopped by and asked us if everything was good, my wife said food was mediocre. There was nothing done to make it right. I managed to finish mine but rest of them left the restaurant without finishing and hungry. 14$+ for an entree and it lacked anything to write about. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone for the food or service.

I ate the popper, lb&j, and the cowboy, which I love (ate the smokehouse in the past and that's also a top choice). The Cowboys pimento cheese was just the right amount of cheese for the slider and the jalapeno cilantro aioli was an outstanding addition to it. The PB&J - I'm a sucker for jam in a burger and the blackberry jam was refreshing and cool and paired great with the bacon in the peanut butter while still complimenting the meat. The Popper had a lot of rosemary lime aioli which was delicious to bite into. I've been here several times and narrowed down to my favorite 4. The sides (waffle fries, extra sugary drinks, onion rings) could be improved but while the sliders are pricy, they leave a great impression. The service is also very kind to lete grab a lot more ketchup packs and you do feel the "butcher" vibes in the food when you're eating.

Cowboy - Beef, pimento cheese, crispy onion straws, jalapeño cilantro aioli - DELICIOUS. the pimento cheese was the star of the show and made the slider taste extra good 2. Smokehouse - Beef, smoked brisket, Cheddar, pickled red onion, house BBQ sauce, rosemary lime aioli - I enjoyed this the only downside was the brisket was dry and made me so thankful for the drink that came with my meal. 3. Popper - Beef, fried jalapeño & cream cheese, pepper jam, bacon, cilantro, rosemary lime aioli - DID NOT ENJOY. Unfortunately the jam that this burgie came with just overpowered the whole thing and not in a good way. It did not mesh with the rest of the ingredients and the popper had no flavor or filling. It just flattened when I took a bite and I got nothing but a mouthful of that terrible jam. The waffle fries were ok just nothing special. The onion rings though....OMG so crisp, so fresh, so flavorful. Would just come back for those. Service was fine, we were the only people waiting to order so it was quick.

It seems as though they have a karaoke stage but I don't went during the week so I did not get to see it in action, hopefully I will when I return.

Each plate comes with the choice of two sides, and we both got coleslaw and potato salad. The ribs here were surprisingly very tender and flavorful, while the brisket also had the perfect mix of lean and fat. They also make their dinner rolls fresh in-house, so every 20-30 minutes or so they'll come around with a basket of fresh rolls and offer them to people. For the price, you're getting a solid deal. Good meat, multiple sides, and unlimited fresh dinner rolls. On top of that, they give out BOGO free coupons often, so then the price comes down to $12/person. The price for taste here is unbeatable and I think that deserves a five star alone for that. Once they stop making those coupons, it'll probably go down to a four star.
