    We dined here last week and loved it. Authentic, friendly staff. Clean. Good for vegetarian. We saw people with kids in here. Kimchi fried rice is a must have as was the marinated chicken entree. Everyone was having the soups which we will get next time. Very fair price point. Little sides are great but did not get refilled for us. Gugen yogurt drinks after to cleanse palate.

    All Koreans check a Korean restaurant by their kimchi. Kimchi passes flying colors. Service was great and I love being served by older Korean ladies. Just makes it feel home-y. You know? Food was good. Tofu soup was hot and satisfying. But the seafood pancake was the big winner. Would come back literally just for the seafood pancake. A-fricken-one.

    Might be one of the best in Katy-- the soondoobu was great and the fish was tender! The side dishes paired wonderfully and we recognized some of the staff here from our prior favorite Korean restaurant in Houston! Cheers!

    A very family friendly Korean food eatery the service is top notch and the food was just OK. If your other choice of restaurant have a long wait time and you are hungry, come here for your second choice. This is how I end up eat here for dinner with my family because our first choice had a long wait list. If you are sitting at the big table the call for service button is on the side and your utensil are in a drawer on the side too.

    I've been to Cho Dang Gol a handful of times now and have seen noticeable improvements in food quality and service. It has since become one of my go-to Korean restaurants in Katy Asia Town. The restaurant is located in a plaza with plenty of parking. The interior is spacious and clean. Chopsticks, utensils, and napkins can be found in the drawer built into the table. There's also a service bell you can ring to get your server's attention. For soondubu, I usually order the dumpling soondubu with mild spice. It's not too salty and has just a slight kick. The soondubu comes with white rice and an egg. The tofu is soft, and the plump, bite-sized dumplings soak up the flavorful broth wonderfully. Lately, I've been ordering the bibim naengmyeon. The noodles are very chewy. The gochujang sauce is savory and not too spicy. I really like the thinly sliced apples and cucumbers on top. You can adjust the taste to your liking with vinegar and mustard. The side dishes are okay, though I find them to be a little too salty for my taste. If you're in the area and craving Korean food, I'd say Cho Dang Gol is worth a visit!

    Solid traditional Korean meal. Everything was delicious and none of the dishes missed. I wouldn't go out of my way to get anything specific here but you can bet on having a good meal if you do decide to dine here. My favorite was the LA Galbi - the perfect balance of sweet and savory without being dry or too fatty. The raw marinated crab had good seasoning but the crab was small and cut into a lot of tiny pieces. It satisfied the craving but maybe I'd rather get another order of Galbi instead. I would pass on the fried dumpling appetizer, just like freezer dumplings put in the deep fryer

    Christina T.

    We've been coming since they opened and we still enjoy it everytime ! The servers are always so nice and sweet towards us. We got a couple of items during this visit but the one that stood out was the spicy raw marinated crabs, it was amazing, the quality was fresh, it wasn't fishy at all if anything it the actual crab meat was quite sweet which paired well with their sauce and I don't know if you can tell by the photo but they give you a lot. Food is always good, service is always amazing but it's just a bit pricey for Korean food which is why we don't come as often but everytime we do, we enjoy it

    Came in at 9:30p and restaurant closes at 10pm. They actually already shut down the kitchen. Since we were super hungry and only wanted tofu soup (which is incidentally the only thing they will serve), we asked the waitress to let us come in. Luckily, we were seated but we got the feeling that they felt they were doing us a favor. The dining tables have drawers that contain utensils and napkins. There is also a button that is used to call waitstaff. Tofu soup came piping hot..accompanied with steaming rice in the hot pot. Be careful not to burn yourself. Soup had loads of tofu and enough meat. There is also a small but good selection of banchan and the fried fish was meaty. We've had better tofu soup elsewhere so we will probably not come back for soup here. If you do dine here, just make sure you come way before closing time.

    There's free boricha (barley tea, hot or iced) in aluminum cups with silicone sleeves. The meal ends with a semi-frozen yogurt drink. The utensils (takeaway chopsticks, metal spoons, napkins) are in the drawer on the side of the table. There's a button to push for assistance, but the workers only attended to it a few times. The banchan had a variety of flavors. There was typical Korean side salad, fishcakes, and soy sauce-pickled jalapeño-cucumber-daikon. The broccoli salad was soft and seemed to have tofu mixed in. There was blanched green cabbage with a spicy side dip. The kimchi was crunchy. I got the combo tofu soup and grilled mackerel. The seafood (medium-sized clam, shrimp, mussels) tofu soup (hot) was flavorful and came with a raw egg to crack. It had chopped onion and zucchini. The seafood pieces were a good sizeand tender. The mackerel half was huge, thick, moist, and crispy. The flavor was really good after a few days too. It was accompanied by sliced white onion and a lemon wedge. A wooden lid covered the rice, which was in a metal bowl in a wooden stand. I was surprised it retained its heat really well. There were tables and wooden seat booths with towel-like seats. They have deli containers for soup leftovers and foam boxes for other food.

    Dumpling soup combo with fried dumplings
    Christine D.

    We came right as they opened and they were still setting up for the day. They brought us cups of water and then a cup of ice later to put into the water (was already cold but not ice cold I guess?). Utensils and things we might need were in a side drawer under the table. She brought out things we needed but we were able to grab additional napkins and chopsticks as we needed. There was a bell that you could push to ask for her server. It basically chimed over the speakers and then read your table number so the whole restaurant knew you needed help. Lol. We did not use it after figuring that out after the first time. We ordered the combo dumpling tofu soup and the fried dumplings and then another bowl of the regular (beef and pork) tofu soup. The combo came with five side dishes that were okay. We did not eat that much of it. Our soups came with the crispy Korean rice, a raw egg that we cracked into the bowl, and a small salted fried fish. The soups were really good and went well with the rice and fish. There wasn't that much meat in the soups and about four dumplings in the soup, but a ton of tofu. It was a really filling meal. I would come here again to try more dishes! My husband ordered regular spice and I did the second level up. It was the perfect amount of spicy for us. Some bites were Spicer than others. If you can't take spice, order without any.

    I came here again today and while the dumpling soup and the vegetarian soup was good, I was in a shock of finding a live small cockroach scurrying across the ladle of the tteokbokki and onto our table. The servers were nice/ caring and were able to give us a discount on our meal, which I am Grateful for. Aside from that, the banchan was great and I do like how they serve the rice in a wooden pot. They are also able to take out certain ingredients if you are allergic or have dietary restrictions.

    Banchan

    Food here is alright but service is quick and the ahjummas are nice. We ordered the mandu, tonkatsu, rose tteokbokki, and naengmyeon. The tonkatsu was crispy and came out hot, but there was nothing special about it. The rose tteokbokki was a lot creamier than I thought it would be, I do prefer a little more spice to it, but it was perfect for my friend. The mandu was standard and tasted best when dipped in the rose sauce. The naengmyeon was pretty bland in my opinion and I had to add quite a bit of vinegar to it.

    Gopchang Soon tofu & side dishes
    Hemi K.

    I went with some friends for a weekend lunch. We got the goochang soon tofu and the donkatsu. Overall, the interior was very clean and neat. It reminded me of restaurants in Korea. I loved how they had a bell on the side of the table to order. The silverware and napkins were all on the side of the table as well. I enjoyed having the complementary barley tea for waters. They give you the option of hot or cold. The side dishes were all super delicious and I loved how they gave such a variety. Especially liked the fried fish and the potato salad. My tofu soup was a little burnt at the bottom, which was a little disappointing. I got the spicy and my friend got the regular spice and they were all a good level of spice. You have to scoop out the rice and put some hot water in the stone bowl which was a great addition to finish off the meal. The food was a little more on the pricier side but would recommend to visit for a good korean restaurant.

Tasty Ko is located further South of I-10 in an assuming plaza. As soon I stepped into the restaurant, I was hit with delicious aromas of KBBQ and seafood sizzling at the tables. I was in the mood for noodles and so was my friend - we ordered the jjamppong and the jiajiangmein. The broth for the jjamppong was super flavorful and deep with seafood notes. There were plenty of veggies (cabbage) and squid. The shrimp were small and kind of mushy - probably from a frozen bag or just not fresh. I didn't mind though. The serving size of noodles were perfect, and maybe a little bit more than I wanted since I couldn't finish the whole bowl. The jiajiangmein looked equally as delicious - my friend said there was a lot of onion in the sauce. The array of banchan consisted of kimchi, marinated bean sprouts, cold kimchi pancake, and marinated spicy cucumber. Yummy banchan as well. Tasty Ko is a great spot if you're not wanting to drive all the way to the Spring Branch area for Korean food, and not wanting to spend an arm and a leg at Katy Asian Town. Good menu selection for those who either want KBBQ or a la carte classic Korean dishes!

Service was spot on, quick, and we got our food in what felt like maybe a few minutes. We started off with pork dumplings for the kiddo, which he INHALED in moments. For entrees, we split the orange chicken and the Spicy/Numbing Pot. The orange chicken was spot on. The sauce was sweet but not painfully sweet or thick/clumpy. Really nice orange flavor and tender chicken. So much fun eating it since it is gluten free! Our kiddo also devoured this dish! Mild - not spicy at all! The Spicy Numbing Pot, while a little oily/greasy on the bottom, was still delicious! I appreciated that it wasn't knock your socks off spicy - it had a solid kick, and so flavorful. I love eating dishes with Sichuan Pepper; it has a lot of flavor, and the tingling is so much fun. This dish was perfect with some rice, and it wasn't too heavy for the middle of the day. The prices were really reasonable, and there was enough food for leftovers which we ate later that night. Our only regret is not getting the duck appetizer, but we will be sure to get it next time. We can't wait to go back, and Tiger Noodle will happily be in regular rotation for our family! You can't go wrong!

    I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

It is anything but in point of fact, it is in my estimation, a unique culinary experience. I don't write from the perspective of comparing this food to other Malaysian dishes that I've had in point of fact to the best of my recollection I don't think that I've ever had Malaysian cuisine. But if this restaurant is an example, I have missed a great deal. The food is very unique the servings are very gracious charitable. The prices are incredibly reasonable given the distinction of this particular cuisine and given the portions and quality of food that is served. The service is quite simple and the restaurant is actually quite small. However, I must tell you from A service perspective. It's truthfully amazing because the takeout business is extremely active. Not to mention the fact that the chef walks out and speaks to people will share anything that you want to know about Malaysian food and obviously from the quality of the food that I ate not only is his explanation thorough but my guess is his skills are incredible. As I said it is very small so it's difficult to Alpine about the ambience other than it was quite clean and given the number of whom I suspect were Malaysian people it's obviously quite popular within that community. So I take that to be a sign that this food is quite native in nature. I had a pork meal, which is only on Sundays. I spoke to the chef about it, and he explained that the preparation started one day in advance of actually serving the meal, so I understand why it is only served once a week. Although I must tell you because I lack familiarity it seemed to me that I would be hours and hours trying to replicate any of the dishes. All I can tell you is this if you are in an exploratory mood for a cuisine and have had or have not had Malaysian before I suspect this is a place to go. Quite informal, extremely fair pricing very generous portions great service very pleasant people and frankly it's a a family affair of what you will see many when you go. Quite a lovely experience.
