If you're craving authentic Korean food in Plano, this spot delivers. Their signature grilled pork…read moreribs are the star of the menu--tender, flavorful, and perfectly charred. The seafood pancake is packed with seafood and comes out crispy on the outside, while the banchan (Korean side dishes) are fresh and plentiful. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, making it great for both lunch and dinner. Service can slow down during busy hours, but the food is worth the wait. Overall, a solid choice for authentic Korean comfort food in North Texas.

Food was good. Pork was excellent. Service was rushed. Ambiance was loud. Not a great date spot.read more

I usually go to the location in Carrolton but this was my first time here. The restaurant inside…read morewas so nice, clean, and very spacious, much bigger than the other location. I got the Combo Kimchi Tofu Soup with Spicy Pork Bulgogi. The tofu soup was spicy (I got level 4) and it was piping hot with so much flavors! The spicy pork bulgogi was really good, although it was a bit sweet in my opinion. Cho Dang Village food is always good no matter when/where you go :)

I'm so happy they built a Cho Dang in Plano!…read more This place is one of my favorite go-tos for Korean tofu soup & short ribs (galbi). I love ordering the combos so I get a little bit of everything that I want. The portions are decent if you're hungry & want to finish everything OR if you're not too hungry, eat half, and take the other half to-go for lunch the next day. The service is aligned with what you'd expect from a Korean place. Some of the older ladies working there are so sweet and helpful, especially if you tell them it's your first time, and some of them seem more intimidating and aggressive. Typically there isn't a wait for tables. Only times I've waited for a table are peak weekend dinner hours. The most I waited was maybe 15 minutes, as their service is quite fast for a sit down restaurant. This location has seats where you can store your personal belongings in them!

My brother and sister brought me here, and I'm glad they did. I've been to their sister location in…read moreRichardson. This one is the original, and it has a completely different vibe. When you walk in, you're greeted, and the atmosphere is great. It's a small, cozy spot, which I really like. They do get pretty busy on weekends, especially during dinner time, so it's a good idea to call and double-check. They also accept reservations. The food was excellent; everything came out perfectly and tasted delicious. My favorite was the bulgogi--it was nice and tender. I highly recommend this location if you're craving some good Korean BBQ.

Really enjoyed lunch time. At this time lunch is M-Th until 3:30 PM. It was quite busy when we…read morearrived. But seated in a timely manner. Server was very polite but it was obvious they were understaffed by a lot. 1 server and whole restaurant was full. Regardless, server did a great job keeping up. Food: Side dishes: the kimchi, cucumber kimchi, spicy fish cake were great. The salad was okay. The japchae noodles were mediocre. And the pickled daikon didn't taste like they used much vinegar. Dipping sauces were all great. Sesame oil, samjang blend, a sweet and spicy sauce. Meat: enjoyed the brisket, beef belly, pork belly, beef finger meat, Hawaiian pork belly. The Galbi marinade would have been better with the finger meat marinade. Overall had a great meal and would come again. Hopefully will be better staffed next time!

We dined here tonight (Friday), and it was delightful:…read more 1. Much less crowded than lunchtime, with only a couple of other tables dining. 2. Delicious, authentic food, just as always. The older women were not here tonight, not sure if they go home after lunch, or if they retired. Just two people working, looked like husband and wife, with her handling the front, and him in the kitchen. I love this place, well worth the 30 minute drive, and makes me think it would be nice to live closer too :)

When I walked in I already knew this food was going to be amazing. Joy Kitchen is a small place but…read moreit's very welcoming and I knew the really Cater to their customers. I ordered the bibimbap and when they brought it out I knew it would taste like a Korean home cooked meal. I deeply enjoyed it the side dishes were great and the food was great and the overall experience was a 10/10

20/10 would recommend to anyone trying out authentic Korean cuisine…read more The combo menu is SOOO worth it. Truly a Korean-style restaurant with plentiful banchan. I absolutely love their scorched rice, which you really can't get anywhere else tbh. Business is always booming here, even on slow days. I've come here on both a random weekday and a weekend, and there's always people no matter what. But don't worry, they clean immediately the moment you walk out that door, so there's no wait time. Everyone eats here. EVERYONE. Korean families, foreigners, youngins who love Korean culture, high school students, the diversity is insane. That's how you know it's good when it's appealing to both Koreans and foreigners.

The food was good, but it was also very uncomfortable…read more They tried to kick us out because we were missing one person from our party, and then changed their mind. We had full meals with no rice. No drink menu brought despite the request. Service worsened after my white husband left. The remaining of us were Black. When we finished the meal they kept throwing open and closing the curtains of our booth and tossing in and removing chopstick boxes. I was finishing an interview with a business associate, so we didn't want to leave just yet. No one was waiting for the table and seats were empty. I said please and thank you in Korean multiple times with no eye contact or acknowledgement. BCD Tofu house tastes better and treats me far better. I used to order carryout and Uber Eats from Cho Dang Village without incident, but now I am guessing they thought I was a driver, not a customer.

DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS PLACE!!…read more My husband and I found this place by chance and thought we'd give it a shot. I'm so glad we did! We ordered the Spicy Rice Cakes (Tteok-bokki) which was soo good! If you like mochi you will like this! It's slightly firmer in texture but it's deliciously bouncy and the sauce is mildly spicy and full of flavor. We also ordered the Stir-fried Glass Noodles and Vegetables w/Beef (Japchae) these are savory noodles with no spice with various sautéed veggies. They claim both of these are appetizers but they are huge portions! We also ordered the Grilled Pork Belly. They said this is their specialty and OH BOY IS IT!! They bring a grill/hot plate thing to your table and cook the pork belly right there next to you! They also bring out all sorts of sides such as kimchi, fresh lettuce, picked cucumber, cooked mushrooms, fish cakes, garlic, bean sprouts, lettuce with what I believe was gochujang sauce on top, flakey sea salt and possibly more if I'm remembering incorrectly. They even give you suggestions on how to eat it and it was the MOST DELICIOUS DISH! I am not a fan of fatty meat (and I ordered pork belly, I know!) but they crisp it up so nicely in the pan that I did not notice the fat. The plain meat by itself with a little sea salt on top was Divine but when you add it with some sautéd onion, garlic, bean sprouts, and kimchi on fresh lettuce..... there are no words for how delicious that is! And that is just the food! The customer service was phenomenal and the atmosphere was chill and cozy. Moral of my story is, EAT HERE! Give this place a try and I'm sure they won't disappoint you. 20/10 would recommend! I will be back because this place is GOLD!

Wow this place is so good! I can't wait to go back. I will totally get their grilled pork belly for…read moretwo again!! So fun to be able to eat it with the lettuce wraps and the cook on the pork belly is perfection! They explain how to eat it and cook it for you. The soondobu was decent though my medium spice was not that spicy and felt more like mild so I'm going for spicy next time! Altogether a wonderful experience!

We tried Naju Restaurant and honestly, it was such a great experience. The food was absolutely…read moredelicious. We ordered the galbi jjim, oxtail soup, and seafood pancake, and every single dish was amazing. There wasn't a single bite left on the table. The service was just as good as the food, very attentive and welcoming without being overwhelming. The place itself has a really nice, cozy ambiance. It's not huge, but it feels comfortable and well put together. I've been to many restaurants in Kansas, but this one easily stands out. Definitely worth the visit. I'll be coming back for sure.

We came an hour before closing so we felt kinda bad but they still treated us like regular. The cold noodles was good!! It came with a hot broth to balance out on a cold day.

Food: Ordered the Beef Short Rib and Soon Tofu soups, both of which were amazing--the Beef Short…read moreRib had a clean, light, rich flavor and was adequately salted, while the Soon Tofu had deeper flavors that were well balanced and kind of umami. We also had the Seafood Pancake, which had a nice crust, and you can actually taste the seafood (i.e., it wasn't eclipsed by too much pancake batter). Also, can we talk about the Banchan? It was a pleasant assortment, and it tasted fresh. Service: Great! Nice waiters, quick service (although, we did come on a Thursday evening). Ambiance: Casual. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.
