My friends and I decided to try this place on a whim and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences we've had in a while. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed. The restaurant was busy, which is usually a good sign, but we were still taken care of quickly and never felt rushed The food was honestly the highlight of the night. Everything we ordered came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of thought goes into both the menu and the presentation. It's one thing for a restaurant to have good food, but it's another when every person at the table enjoys what they ordered. We were all trading bites because everyone wanted to try each other's dishes. What really stood out to me was how balanced everything felt. The portions were generous without being overwhelming, the prices felt fair for the quality, and the service was attentive without constantly interrupting the meal. Our server was friendly, answered questions about the menu, and made some great recommendations. I've been to a lot of gastropubs over the years, and many of them focus more on the atmosphere than the food. This place manages to do both really well. Whether you're looking for a casual dinner, drinks with friends, or somewhere to bring family from out of town, this is definitely a spot worth checking out. We'll absolutely be back, and next time I already know there are a few more things on the menu I want to try. Easily one of my favorite places I've visited recently. read more

Usually always recommend this place, the food is usually fire. Ambiance is cute as well, it has a "Korean street food" scene that is really cute. Last night when I went, it was during Happy Hour. We ordered some version of loaded fries or nacho fries, which did not say that they had pork on the menu. For religious reasons I do not eat pork. When the fries came out, they had pork. We asked if we could send them back and get a new order with no pork. The server said no, and that if they did do that, I would have to pay for BOTH. It would have been one thing if the pork was listed on the menu, but they didn't care to do that and then put me in a predicament because of it. Do not plan on returning after this. read more

I'm finally back! This time, I got the full experience. We had Korean army stew (hot, delicious) and the stir fry with cheese (decadent, molten) and the kiwi and strawberry sojus. Service was fast, water came immediately, and the button on the table was easy to use. The prices are reasonable for table sharing portions and the food is downright yummy. It was a little less loud that day at open, which was nice as the music and conversation on my first visit were a little overwhelming. read more

Cozy place with mostly delicious food. Service was a bit slow, but friendly. To be fair, we had a large crowd of 9. The Kim chi fried rice was too dry for my liking. The egg overcooked in the dish. The army stew was delicious... basically a Kim chi jjigae with noodles. The fresh fried pork belly with veggies was good. The seafood ramen broth was deliciously rich with a lot of calamari. The egg roll was very underseasoned for my taste, but it was beautiful. The wings were done well. Would come again and try other dishes. The music was a bit loud, but all part of the vibe. read more

I had such a wonderful time here! I went to the watch party they hosted for the World Cup, South Korea vs South Africa! The vibe and the atmosphere was amazing and it was really fun! The food was also just wonderful! And very shareable. read more

Ambiance: This restaurant has great vibes overall. It is on the louder side, and they blast music at night. The space is super cute and they have Korean-style pocha seating. The lighting is very dim and the prices are on the higher end. Service is mediocre and they broke a glass cup near our feet and hardly cared to move us. Screw Kiss Cocktail: This drink had a very unique flavor. It was very sweet, and the alcohol taste was very smooth and not overwhelming. However, there wasn't much noticeable strawberry or Sprite flavor. Most of the taste came from the popsicle, though I couldn't quite pinpoint what flavor the popsicle was. Pork Belly: The pork belly was excellent. It was perfectly crispy, and the spicy dipping sauce paired great with it. The dip had a sweet and spicy balance that complemented the pork well. However, when I ordered it without vegetables, the portion size was noticeably smaller. There were no options to substitute with rice or other sides, which was disappointing. read more

The food was solid, maybe it was because I was starving but you really can't go wrong with pocha food haha. Service was slower but it was a full house so I don't blame them, I did need to ring the bell 3+ times everytime I need refills on water or the bill. Green onion chicken was good by itself, in the sauce and with the green onions so you should definitely get a plate if you like onions and don't want the hassle of eating around a bone. Garlic soy wings were decent but I think I prefer the sauce at other Korean fried chicken places, I wish I tried a different flavor. The cheese corn was surprisingly seasoned beyond just mixing corn into melted cheese. Slightly burnt on the edges when it came out but if you like it toasty like that then go for it. Kimchi Volcano fried rice with egg was a fun and cute interactive dish that really tied the meal together - I wouldn't get it if you don't ant the hassle of cooking it yourself or if you have a problem with raw eggs! It did have a strong seaweed taste which is very different from a lot of kimchi fried rices I've tried read more

This was one of the most unprofessional experiences I've ever had with a business. I handed over my credit card to pay. After waiting for 30-40 minutes the waitress didn't return our credit card. I went up to the register only to find out they lost the card. Instead of taking responsibility, the staff tried to gaslight us into thinking we were wrong, insisting that we must have misplaced it ourselves, even though they were looking for the card while saying that. On top of that, they were pushy about demanding payment even though they were the ones who lost my card. We spoke to the manager on the phone finally after another 30 minutes of us helping to look for the card and he agreed to comp our meal. Our meal was only $40 by the way - we only ordered a few dishes and we were all pretty tired and ready to go home at this point after an hour just dealing with the credit card issue. We left and gave them our number to call us. On the way home they called us saying they found the card then demanded we pay our bill because they found it, which we refused. Losing a customer's credit card is a serious breach of trust -- but doubling down by denying it and treating the customer like they're at fault is beyond unacceptable. The lack of accountability here is shocking. If you value your financial security and basic respect as a customer, I would strongly recommend avoiding this business entirely. read more

Came here for a friends birthday party with a large group! They were extremely accommodating and able to seat 20 of us(we had a reservation). The food was so delicious! We loved the Spicy Rice Cakes and Bulgogi, perfect amount of spice and sweetness. The watermelon soju was very fresh, but not strong at all. Overall, we had a wonderful time! read more

This place was busy at 9:30pm on a Sunday night. Was able to get a table though without waiting. We were afraid we would feel awkward if it was just young people, but we also found a family with little kids there so we felt better. We got the whole watermelon soju and it was refreshing and good. They ground the watermelon and added a watermelon popsicle. Good deal for 4 people to share. We also got the fried gizzards which were crispy and good and the ddokboki & fish cake soup. The latter two were pretty standard. Nothing special about those. Would go back for the gizzards and watermelon soju. read more

My friends and I shared the spicy rice cakes with ramen, garlic chicken wings with soy sauce, and the mango yogurt cocktail soju. All the food and drinks were super delicious and were a good portion size to share between 3 people. Ramen and cheese are both additional charges to the rice cakes if you choose to include them. My friends with lower spice tolerances did mention the rice cakes and wings were a bit spicy for them so take that into account when ordering as well. You will need to click a button if you need your server. They usually were super prompt with coming to address our needs once the button was clicked. The restaurant also celebrated a lot of birthdays at my visit and overall provided a very great atmosphere to hang out with friends later in the evening. There are plenty of seating available to accommodate various party sizes and bar as well if that is what you prefer. read more

Ddong Ggo is a fantastic spot, especially if you're out late and want to avoid fast food, which is usually your only option at that hour. I likw that this place stays open late--it really fills a need in the area. During my most recent visit, we arrived earlier than usual and discovered they had a happy hour. My friend and I decided to split a yogurt soju cocktail, which has always been a hit for us. For our main dishes, we each ordered bulgogi bowls. While my friend enjoyed his, I found the bulgogi bowl a bit too sweet for my taste, though I think many people would really like it. The staff was friendly and even recognized my friend since he visits often. As a nice gesture, they treated us to a couple of items on the house. It was a thoughtful touch, even though my friend opted out-he's a bit traumatized from one of the ingredients in this item lol. Overall, Ddong Ggo has a great, chill, casual vibe, capturing the essence of a casual Korean pub restaurant. It's also pretty nice to go to watch the games on their TV's. This restaurant is always a go-to option for late-night dining. read more

Ddong Ggo is probably my favorite pocha spot in Carrollton, and my friends and I love coming here. The vibes are immaculate, and it's so much fun to eat yummy Korean bar food and drink solmaek with K-Pop blasting in the background. They always do something fun if it's your birthday too! I'm a huge fan of their lunch boxes and seafood cream pasta, but you honestly can't go wrong with their kimchi fried rice or their chicken + cheese. Service is pretty good, and the ambience is always so much fun. read more

Ddong ggo (chicken butt) is a Korean pocha that serves bar food and alcohol and is open late at night. They have another location in LA. It's pretty dimly lit but I witnessed them light up the place like a club for some ones birthday. Whenever you want service, you just push a button and a server will head right over. My friends and I got the bomb fries, the spicy rice cakes, and spicy chicken wings. There were certain times in the past where I didn't have a great experience but I had a good one this time. The fries were good, the ones at the bottom were overly drenched in sauce to eat though. The spicy wings were reallly spicy but they had good flavor. And the pickled daikons are good palette cleansers. The spicy rice cakes were nice and chewy, and I love the fish cakes as well. They weren't too spicy at all. read more

By far my favorite Carrollton pocha!! The vibes and ambiance are great for a night out. Their music is nice and the staff do fun birthday cheers. I've also gotten several complimentary shots, which is always a bonus! Highly recommend their soju cocktails as they're some of the best I've ever had. Sweet but definitely get you feeling buzzed quick. I love their fried chicken as well as their torched chicken with cheese and tteokbokki. All of their dishes are very shareable, so I honestly think the prices are worth it. read more

Everything is so good here. It does get really busy & they are open late. Came here from a recommendation from a friend and was not disappointed. Start off by getting the WHOLE WATERMELON SOJU (if it's available) so you get the party started early. Then order the KOREAN STYLE BIG EGG ROLL for the appetizer to share with the rest of the table. It's really, really big. And since this establishment gives off "Korean pub", you have to order the HONEY BUTTER CHICKEN WINGS. The flavor profile on those wings is *chefs kiss*. For your main dish, get the FRESH GRILLED THIN PORK BELLY. Juicy cuts of marinated pork belly will do the job every single time! Highly recommend this place, especially if you want a chill night out with friends. The dishes are definitely shareable and the place is an overall good time. Tip: when its your birthday, let them know :) read more

The customer service was exceptional from the moment we arrived. We were promptly greeted by the staff, and they were quick to respond when I used the call button at our table. The ambiance was lively and dimly lit, with great music that transported me straight back to South Korea! The honey butter chicken wings were a bit on the pricier side, but absolutely worth it -- they were flavorful, fresh, and made with high-quality ingredients. The tteokbokki was also delicious, with the perfect balance of spice in the sauce. There's plenty of parking, and the bathroom was spotless. I'll definitely be back! read more

My friends and I came on a Saturday evening, so pretty occupied. I found pressing the button for service to be convenient, since my group and I tend to be indecisive, but overall the service was good! The ambiance was a bit loud, but it's to be expected. It's a nice place to catch up with friends & have a good time. As for the food, my friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the stir-fried chicken with cheese! The chicken was prepared well & the addition of cheese + corn makes it a perfect 3-in-1 order (good for indecisive people). The spicy seafood soup was moderately spicy, good to eat with a heavy meal, but nothing special. In addition, the honey butter chicken had a bit too much powder on the top; good crunch, but I've tasted better fried chicken. Personally, I would've prefer if the honey butter flavor was more subtle. Food is good, but for what you get, it is on the pricier end. Would return for the spicy stir-fried chicken with cheese, and possibly other dishes! read more

I love coming here for late night snacks/food and drinks with friends! They're open late and have a wide range of Korean dishes to choose from. Service is efficient as well with call buttons at your table. I visit this place pretty often and have tried the seafood pancake, assorted fish cake soup, steam big egg roll, shake fries, and kimchi fried rice. My favorites are definitely the shake fries and fish cake soup so far. The shake fries seasoning is soo good and addictive (a little sweet, salty, and cheesy) and the dish comes with three types of fries! The broth for the fish cake soup was delicious and goes well with soju. The other dishes I've tried are still good although probably not something I'd care to order again. Dishes are a bit on the pricier size but the portions are huge!! I recommend trying this place out for some soju and Korean snacks, especially later in the night with friends. It gets pretty lively during the weekend and it's a fun and cozy place to hang out :) read more

Guess what, chicken butt! Ddong Ggo TX is one of the best Korean chicken and beer places I've ever been to in the US. It's great for large groups and they expect that. The staff is real nice and make you feel special when it's your birthday with a sparkling candle and loud music. I highly recommend ordering these two dishes: - Cheese Island (don't forget to let the cheese melt before grabbing something!) - Honey Butter Chicken Wings Can't wait to go back someday! read more

The food is great and you get very large portions with the chicken wings. Live atmosphere with music playing on tvs

This place was amazing!! I ordered the volcano kimchi fried rice and the spicy chicken wings to eat along. The fried rice has cheese and egg and the cheese is slightly sweet which makes the dish 10000/10. The wings are very crispy, hot, and the inside was very juicy. The sauce on the chicken is very good, but it's not spicy at all. I would come back to try their corn cheese next time! read more

I always love coming here! It's so casual and the call button feature is so nice so the waiters can help you when needed. me and my friend split the fried pork belly ($25), spicy rice cakes ($20), and pineapple soju bottle ($17). The soju bottle was perfect for 2 ppl. The fried pork belly was nothing too special- it was super crispy like lechon. The spicy rice cakes were perfect!! It's hard to mess up these food items so you rlly pay extra for the quantity. The pineapple soju was really bubbly- which was a nice change from the non carbonated options. Service here is always quick! Took them 15 mins to get these huge platters out. I love coming here for their $30 watermelon special and will def be back. read more

Food definitely wasn't worth the price. The whole "4 tabs max" is also highly inconvenient when dining with a large party, honestly pretty dumb. Service also wasn't very helpful, so that was irritating. Lastly, one thing in particular I hate, why do restaurants/bars blast their music so loud? It's beyond infuriating when my party and I have to yell just to talk/hear each other, and we're sitting right in front of each other; it's literally a headache. In conclusion, this place sucked. read more

Came here with my cousin for a late night dinner. It was a cozy place playing Kpop pretty loud. We ordered the bulgogi rice cakes and the honey butter popcorn chicken.

The best place to go after late night badminton or pickleball practices. The food hits the spot everytime. We came here multiple times. Almost becoming a ritual for us. The two of our most favorites are the pork belly and the honey butter popcorn chicken. Cannot beat it. Always burst with flavors and fresh from the kitchen. Food always comes out FAST. The servers always check on us. I dare to say this place is very close to almost perfect. The reason why I said "almost" is because of the ambiance. I still gv them a 5 stars because it is cozy and intimate. Really resembles a street food style. However, the music.. is ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS WAAAAY TOOO LOUD. I usually can't hear my friends talking. We always have to scream at each other. I am out of voice when we are done because the amount of shoutings we do at this place. Honestly the music can use some volume control. Just turn it down a notch. Understand the vibe is young, happy, hip, and loud. But seriously this is WAAAY too loud. Give some rooms for people to hear each other and enjoy conversations. But other than that.. absolutely recommend their food! read more

I can see why this place is so popular! Good food, vibe, and service! The inside reminds me of being at a night market, and I love that each table has a buzzer to ring for help, so the service is great. Also, all of the portion sizes were huge. My favorite was the spicy fried chicken with cheese! Flavorful with the right amount of spice! Honey butter chicken was good, but I still think Vons (in California) does it best. Egg roll was ok; it's a bit plain and gets boring to eat by the time you get a couple of pieces in. Overall, really good restaurant and I would come back! read more

After following and seeing Mikey Chen's vids, I bookmarked Ddong Ggo. Despite the plastic spoons, Ddong Ggo TX gets my 5 stars. Lets talk about the spoons later. D-dong G-go, definitely lets go when in Texas!! Been here twice and I really enjoyed my 2nd visit more. When I first visited back in April of 2021 ( without the other half) we were a party of 10 and remembered they were super busy. Food was mediocre and service wasn't the greatest. When I shared with my other half the Mikey Chen vid and my photos, he was jealous & wanted to try here. Few trips back to Texas we didn't have a chance to dine here and he kept asking about it so finally happened. Recently, March 25 2022 was the day, worked out perfect, arrived at this of part of Korea town at Carrollton Texas for an early dinner, about 6 pm. The restaurant wasn't filled yet but they got busy when we left. The waiter was going to put 5 of us in a tiny round table which we requested to have to 2 tables together. Thank you for accomodating our request, he moved us to the front of the restaurant which was so much better, less noise and a little quiet from the crowd. I like that Ddong has a button for service, we did utilized that a few times. What we ordered: We had to get the Cheese Island ( $30.) WOW, one of the items on vid., made me want to go here badly. Comes with fried chicken wings, corn, fries and yes lots of cheese. It was fun eating this seeing the cheese melt in front of you. note, the chicken is a little bland if you don't eat it with cheese. I mixed a little of the spicy sauce from the bbq chicken dish. spicy BBQ Chicken, with veggies and more cheese. this dish is ok, not my favorite. I had to get use to eating BBQ chicken with cheese. Kim Chee Fried Rice, the waiter pours the egg ( not cheese) on bottom of fried rice and its so cool, how the egg cooks in front of you. Taste like fresh kim chee fried rice, there are 2 types of egg. Bulgogi, my other half mentioned that this is his favorite dish out of the 4. For our cocktails, we got the lychee soju and I loved the Lychee Soju with popping boba. & about the plastic spoons, we needed spoons to scoop up the cheese, chicken, fried rice but it was really hard to use the plastic spoons. We had a hard time getting the cheese and since is a hot pot, I was worried about it melting the spoon. I really wish you provide us real spoons instead. All in all, we had a great time despite the spoons. My other half is happy, makes me happy too, he finally got to visit & YES. I will be back again! read more

I went here on a weekend and the atmosphere was very fun. It's a bar type of atmosphere with music and lights. They serve mostly Korean food in big portions so its definitely recommended to go in a group. Most of the tables were full when I was there which was why service can be slow. The food items are little pricey for what you get but it was pretty tasty and you're really coming here for the atmosphere anyways. I had the kimchi fried rice and I enjoyed it very much. There are a lot of spicy items so if you love spicy food then you're in luck. I would definitely recommend coming here if like bars and Korean food! read more

Great vibes in this spot. The music is cool & they have a lot of TVs so I was able to watch basketball while we ate. Service was also really good, & they have call buttons on every table so you don't have to flag your waiter down. The food was delicious. I ordered the honey butter popcorn chicken & fries. The chicken was a good mix of sweet & savory, & the fries were crispy & salty. I also tried the spicy rice cake with cheese & ramen. It was so good, but so spicy.
