I came here on Monday late night because my usual spot was closed and I was craving a tofu soup. I was sat and helped quickly. After I got my food, I was pretty much left alone - most ideal at the time. The tofu soup was not what i expected. A. The flavor, which savory, was bolder than a normal tofu soup. B. The restaurant must've just taken a tub of tofu and dropped it in there bc there was a big brick of it. C. I was expecting some rice. Haha. Overall, the rating is just on the tofu soup. I maybe should've read better but also felt a little tricked. Ps: big plus!! They have outlets at the tables! read more

Food was bad and expensive. I don't know how a Korean place has such atrocious tofu soup. They forgot to put cheese on a dish that came with cheese and took 30 minutes to put cheese on and we were done with our meal by the time it came out and still made us pay. Ridiculous establishment please never come here. I had to ask for salt because the tofu soup was so bland and still was only able to eat half my food when the last meal I ate was 12 hours ago I actually had to force myself to eat this. My stomach hurts like shit rn i shouldn't have ate it. They also made us pay 20% tip for some pretty bad service. read more

Awesome place!! GREAT food and the atmosphere is great. Wooden tables and booths, great for bday celebrations and a few Soju's to top it off read more

This place is definitely a gem and you would never know it by looking at it from the outside! Not in the best area of town but the inside is definitely a cool vibe. It was my first time trying Korean food and our waiter was amazing. He even brought us a a bottle of Yogurt Soju - courtesy of the house! Most of their dishes are shareable/family style. We had Grapefruit Soju, Spicy Seafood Noodles, Tuckpocky, Ramen and Soft Tofu Soup ALL of which I could have again! Definitely will be back very soon! read more

The vibes are great. You get the whole pitcher of water so no need to bother the staff or them you. The food and drinks are delicious and very affordable. Definitely coming back here more than once read more

Found this place on Yelp and what a find. It's looks like nothing from the outside and inside don't expect fancy but it is very clean. That said the food will blow you away. Drinks strong and reasonable. The food portions are enormous I got the single order and it would have feed 2 for sure. The Fire chicken is hot, if you love spicy a must try!! Beat hot dish I have had in long time and full of flavor. Service is quick and fast and you just ring a door bell when you need someone. Definitely worth it read more

Went at night to get some drinks w friends and it was so understaffed and the photos online are so outdated. Its not the worker's issue but u should probably staff more at nights read more

Sunny is a wonderful server and a great hire. I came in and she told me that she is only a couple of months into serving here! The food and night life is good which is why I come here still. But Sunny has created a regular out of me and I will only ask for her as long as she is working because of the care and time she puts into making her drinks and providing friendly service. My wife and I had a very good time. She is a funny server and that is much needed. Her drinks are better than the cups of syrup we usually get. She really knows how to make drinks and have a fun time. SHE EVEN OFFERED US TO PLAY BOARD GAMES. Since she saw that we were on a date. Which I have never been asked that before. I will bring more friends. She is very considerate. 10/10 for this server. read more

The beef bulgogi was really good! As well as the soju . The environment was pretty. Hipster. And the service was was

Per the recommendation of Peter "The Skeeter" H. I decided to check them out. For whatever reason I didn't know there was a large enough population of Korean peeps in these parts that would be able to sustain a Korean bar of the bangin' proportions this place indicated to us. It was a reminder of what we used to have back in Chicago more than a decade or so ago. Those times are long gone and replaced with business owners willing to replace K staff with underpaid staff that can't cook for shit. I came for good bar food and that's what we got. Tastes that sent my mind thinking of awesome times had at Korean bars back in Chicago so many years ago now. That was when the flavors were authentic and before they sold out to doing things a cheaper way. We had the spicy thukkbokki with ramen and I really wanted a dish like sam kyub sal kim chi bokkum, instead their waiter suggested another spicy, pork belly type dish. The flavors were on point, spicy at the right level and we went to town on that meal. For the sake of old memories I added in a pitcher of yogurt soju. I'd forgotten the flavor of Soju since it's a liquor I only drink out of sentiment now. When drinking the pitcher I thought.. wow, this thing is so light. Meaning, where is the freaking booze? The thing about Soju is, the buzz catches up to you slowly and much later. Usually around the time you make it out to a karaoke bar. My DD came in handy. The bar was not busy on the night we checked them out. Mid week night. Service stunk as it usually does at any Korean bar with awesome food. No back and forth with any staff, just cold responses like a bowl of naengmyeon. Dishes are costly like most K bars tend to be these days. I didn't mind it so much though, only because the food did it for me. The food brought back fond memories and I dug the interior of the bar, I am rating them four stars for this. The decor is quite common in themed bars like this back in Korea. If I were local, I'd hit this place up weekly. Maybe carve my name into a booth in Hangul just because I can and serenade some yeppun yujahs and see where the night goes. read more

The Beef Bulgogi and the Fried Chicken is amazing. Love the seating as well. The portions are generous and the food is addictive.

Awesome experience tonight with my group of friends. Great laid back atmosphere. Food was decently priced and they give huge portions. My favorite was the rice cake wrapped in bacon. It was almost like eating a cheeto with bacon. Kimchi pancake is very good too. Korean fried chicken is the best, you can't go wrong with it. The waiter suggested we try the flavored soju and thank goodness because we ALL loved to yogurt soju. It was amazing to say the least. I would highly recommend this place for groups. Cons I have: I wish the plates weren't so small. It was hard for everyone to eat on cake serving size plates. Also, I would have liked to be served rice with my Bulgogi and pork with squid. It would've really completed the meal. Anyway, I still had a great time and will return. It's a very hipster scene. read more

Came with friends and was highly disappointed. We ordered chapaguri because the waitress insisted there was no spice. We got it at the table and you could literally see the spice in the sauce. You know how sauce gets that redish color and your nostrils can smell it. We all tried it and our lips were burning. She insisted it wasn't even when we kept telling her. She seemed to get mad, roll her eyes, took the food and never came back. No more water.didnt offer another dosh,dish, nothing. So rude. The other food was alright, the dumplings were actually really good. She just made the experience icky. Never going back. read more

I always go to the carrolton location but happened to be in harry hines so I came here with some friends one night. The interior is pretty different compared to the carrolton location but the menu is exactly the same. The only difference is the hh. The happy hour special they have during summer are 4 dollar shots of crown, titos, and jame and some random soju bottle with 3 beers for 15. This locatiom however, stopped doing the 4 dollar shots even tho carrolton location still did it. The interior is pretty much covered in hand written graffiti over the years of people writing all over the resturant. But I guess it gives the place a sense of nostalgia because it has been around forever I beleive. The interior is dark and is pretty different and has a different vibe thats hard to explain but it is very unique for sure. I understand why so many people come here but it is a bit too far for me and located in a shady area that carrolton seems a bit more safe and clean so I rather go there. read more

the chicken is amazing the yangyum and original. sush took such good care of us and made this spot a place we will return to!

Dansungsa still has the vibe but otherwise I feel like a lot of things have changed compared to the last time I visited (pre-COVID). I took some friends here, remembering how much I used to love it and sadly regretted it. I'm so sorry to the cashier who asked me how everything was but I didn't have the heart to tell you the truth... The service was prompt when you rang the button and the check out was fast and easy but the food quality has disappointing. We only ordered off the happy hour menu and were so unimpressed that we didn't want to order anything else. The seafood pancake was extremely batter heavy with some veggies and almost zero seafood. The ramen was spicy and the texture was ok but otherwise not very flavorful (friends described it as watered down). My friends also got the mandoo and wings, which they felt were ok but overall everything felt like I could have gotten frozen versions at Hmart and made it better at home. read more

Just excellent! I came here with a friend at the start of Happy Hour after seeing the spot featured on Dallas Sites 101. The atmosphere is so fun - you would not suspect it from the outside! Bring a marker to add something to the table or walls. We ordered the orange chicken, bulgogi, lemon pepper wings, jjapaguri, and drinks (Sex on the Beach and a Blue Hawaiian). Everything was so flavorful and fresh! Those happy hour prices are hard to beat and I wanted to order more and more...will just have to come back! The orange chicken had a nice crisp breading, the bulgogi was melt in your mouth delicious, the wings were bursting with flavor, and the jjapaguri had a nice kick. The drinks were delicious too - I've been looking for a good Blue Hawaiian in Dallas and did not expect to find it here! My tab (the wings, bulgogi, and drink) and tip - during happy hour - came out to less than $25. Absolutely will be back! read more

I love this place. This place is so hole in the wall and the ambiance is so stellar! I love the bar like feel with the privacy that the booths provide. The korean music in the background is also a nice touch! I have been coming here since I moved back up to Dallas back in 2011 and I have been coming here ever since. Usually I go with friends to chill and take back some strawberry soju shots (strawberry one is the best!) and the soju doesn't last very long since it's so good! We also order the "lunchbox" which has a fried egg, rice, with a dash of kimchee inside. I have also gotten the kimmarri, which is glass noodles rolled up in seaweed then fried, with dukkbokie. VERY tasty! Make sure you have at least 3 people with you to finish this! A spicy chicken and potato soup is also very good. I have gotten paddak before, but it's not as good as the chicken that's marinated in a sauce. It takes a little longer, but way worth the wait! Definitely a place to check out with some friends! It would also help if you went with at least one korean speaker since most of the wait staff only speak korean. read more

Gotta love this place! Food is amazingly tasty It's not too expensive And their portions are phenomenal read more

This is absolutely my favorite place to go for a late night snack! This location closes at 5 AM and the one in Carrollton closes at 2 AM. Their service is always great no matter how busy they get. They food is absolutely amazing. If you go, get the padak and kkanpoonggie! I always get these two dishes. The portions are generous so plan on sharing with your friends! The kkanpoonggie is a spicy lemon chicken and it has just the right amount of tang it to. Absolutely phenomenal! We are regulars here at both locations!! Definitely recommend!!! read more

Dansungsa - Cool decors - Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I love going to this best! Good food and services is fast and price is fair. Place is nice. I have been here several times.

This was my first time coming here. The atmosphere was amazing! The appetizers had me waiting on the edge of my seat for the main course. When we got the chicken the presentation was nice but the taste wasn't exactly what I was expecting. The spicy chicken had a strong initial taste of tomato or chili paste followed with a bland spice. The garlic onion chicken had a lot of potential it just needed a bit more sweetness added to the sauce. Overall I would come back to try another main dish but definitely getting the dumpling & calamari again! read more

From what I heard this DSS was the place to go back in the days in Korea town but now it seems to be barely hanging on the life. I didn't see many people there and I kinda liked the quietness. We order a bunch bar food and everything is pretty delicious although not truly authentic. They don't have a liquor license as I write this review, so be forewarned. read more

I really enjoy eating here that's why I'll give it two stars. The food is amazing! But the past 3 times I have went I have received the worst service ever! The young Hispanic girl working here has a very nasty attitude. And she lacks customer service. I would eat here more often but the server has made me so uncomfortable that I will start taking my orders to go! Please hire people who actually enjoy doing their job, this is an establishment! This was a great after hour spot for me so I'm sadden. read more

STAY FAR FAR AWAY!!! I can't understand why this place has the rating it has. This is by far the WORST "Korean" place I've been to. The kkanpoongi chicken tasted terrible, they got my order wrong for spicy pork and didn't even give me rice or side dishes, the lunchbox thing had old rice with inedible kimchi that my wife who's not picky and yells at me whenever I spit something out spat it out (first time I ever seen her spit food out), and the soft tofu soup didn't even come out..... also, they only played chinese music which is unheard of at a "Korean" place but that along with how their food spice tasted hints to me that it's not really a Korean place whatsoever. Also, they're very unprofessional and have/allows drawings of penis all around. STAY AWAY!!! read more

WARNING -PLEASE DO NOT GIVE THIS RESTAURANT YOUR BUSINESS, TW: HUMAN TRAFFICKING I have been a repeat customer here many times and always had a wonderful experience. I cannot say this past saturday was the same. Despite my HORRIBLE service (was given 3 plates of kimchi rice with no utensils, plates, or napkins. by the time we were the rice was cold. Out of multiple menu items. My friend raised her vocal volume slightly because was had a big party and she was sitting in the center of the table and the server said "You really DONT need to yell" and after that never came back to our table. Only took orders from about 1/3 of the party. 1 water pitcher for 17 people. just horrendous) upon getting out of my vehicle, I noticed the vehicle next to me had been ziptied. This is a way sex traffickers flag vehicles and stalk/kidnap their prey. After cutting it off with a key, I went and notified the host as well as management. They literally said to me "Well ok. You can call the cops or something if you want, but we're not." .......... the EXTREME lack of nonchalance makes me feel like their A) dumbasses or B) in on it. Not to mention the scandal at the songbird karaoke spot down the street that was broken up about a month back. BE WARNED THIS IS IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION WHERE TRAFFICKERS ARE LURKING AND IF YOU TELL THE PEOPLE HERE THEYLL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT, IN FACT THEY'LL MAKE YOU FEEL STUPID FOR TRYING TO MAKE YOURSELF HEARD AND PROTECT YOURSELF/OTHERS. STAY FAR FAR AWAY read more

Food was bland. Service sucks. Our rice didn't come with cheese as stated in the menu and so we asked them to put some cheese on it and they took a fat minute just to do so. By the time they bring it out our table was pretty much done eating. AND it still tasted bad. AND they had the audacity to charge 20% autograd tips LOL. They even refused to remove the tips like?? When we brought it up that we didn't wanna pay for the food cuz it was bad and we only took like 2 bites, the manager lady said "y'all should've said that y'all didn't like it earlier", I was so shocked I didn't even know what to say.. This place is a joke. I've worked restaurants before so I knew that in situations like these the restaurant cannot make customer pay. But somehow they gaslit us into paying for it. Do yourself a favor and go to another restaurant like 99 Pocha. You'll thank me later. read more

Food was bad, service was bad, ambiance was doo doo. The servers can't serve they need to be put to work for real.

Came here to hang out with a friend. We had several large people in our group of 8 who could pack in tons of food. Food came in extremely large portions and tasted pretty good as well. Definitely could order 1 plate of meats and feed two people. We ended up getting 7 plates and splitting the cost between all 8 of us (came to about 20$ per person). Apparently this is THE place to go after hitting up the strip clubs in the area as it is open late and serves such large portions of food. Since we had arrived pretty early in the night (8:30ish) the restaurant was not full. Heard this place is super packed around midnight to 2AM. Just a heads up, wait staff here is pretty slow. They have these buttons that you push on the wall for service, but we there were times we would press the buttons and wait about 5+ minutes before anyone came to us (I came to think the buttons weren't really connect to anything). Overall good food in a low key dive bar-ish atmosphere that is a great place to hit up after the strip clubs. read more

Landed in Dallas from Los Angeles for the first time on a Tuesday night for some late night food. Service was awesome and the food was good too. Had wings, japchae, corn cheese, and soon tofu soup. I was here solo, but this would be a super chill spot to catch up with friends for some drinks and food. Charlie and James were very friendly. Soon tofu soup was whatever, but everything else was on point. Heads up: the DSS burning wings are crazy hot. Like someone pranked your ass so unless you're into spicy food challenges I'd steer clear of those, but the other flavors are good. read more

I wish zero stars was an option. Two people I was with ordered ramen without seasoning and no egg for allergy reasons. They proceeded to not listen and give us regular ramen. We corrected their mistake and they brought out a "different" ramen. That "different" ramen was the same ramen & they spooned out the egg. There was left over egg in the ramen they failed to pick up. If we didn't notice it they'd be in hospital. I don't know how this place is still open??? read more

Found this restaurant late night. It was one of the only restaurants open. I called and made and order over the phone, but when we arrived we learned that they still didn't have our food ready so we had to wait another 20 min. Once we got our food back home it was almost like the chicken was luke warm and it was suppose to be a Korean spicy and it wasn't spicy at all. The fries were ok they weren't the best but overall, for a late night place to grab some food, this would definitely be the place to do it. I wouldn't make a "must go to" spot but if your out with friends and need something on the go, I'd go again and maybe try something else. read more
