Their soondae is approachable, flavorful, and very well made. You can also order it with soup, which you season to taste, and the two make such a comforting and hearty meal together. Based on how good the soondae is, I wouldn't be surprised if their bossam is just as delicious. I'd highly recommend this spot, especially for anyone looking to try soondae or craving a satisfying Korean meal.

This is for a delivery order as I'm sure it's much better when you eat in person. It just seems…read morewrong when it's apparent that "older" and "not the best" pieces are given as to go/delivery. We ordered jokbal and soondae. First... they do not give kimchi (read that again... for a Korean jokbal place). The rice was basically one big lumpy piece since it was old. The jokbal came cold (which I verified with the restaurant that it should come hot- so a much older piece). It was even more evident of it being old that nothing was juicy and was filled with dry pieces. Look at pic. Also I was angered when I looked at their yelp pictures to see what a small soondae looks like at the restaurant and compared to what we got. Look at the picture and see for yourself. To the restaurant- be fair, serve best pieces and if something is not up to par- do not serve it. Do not take advantage of the deliveries by discarding the unsatisfactory food to that service.

We loved all the different sauce options (mala, spicy, cream, rose, black bean). And there were so many different rice cake choices and toppings (veggies/seafood/beef/chicken). They also have other condiments like salt, soy sauce on the side too. The tteokbokki was great and they also have a lot of side dishes too like kimbap, lots of fried things (veggies, chicken), and fish cake! We were pretty stuffed after one big pot. It's basically all carbs. They have things you can order off the menu but you mainly come here for the spicy rice cakes.

We ordered seafood pancake (it was tasty and crispy but is fell apart trying to put it on the plate), seafood and tofu soup (tofu was nice and fluffy and the soup was just the right spice level) and bulgogi hotpot (it was a nice variety of vegetables with noodle and bulgogi meat, a good treat for a cool evening, this dish was on the sweet side and a really good option for those that don't like spicy). The establishment can be family friendly and fun with friends.

I would recommend getting the ribs for $53 and some cold noodles on the side instead of the combo. Their cold noodles were really good and the ribs a la carte were a better deal for the buck.

I also heard their other entrees are very good. Will have to go back to try these. Highly recommend this place.

Food: This is the first AYCE Korean BBQ place in DFW my partner and I decided to try, which we were…read moreexcited about, because it was highly rated and relatively cheaper than à la carte places. While there were redeeming qualities, like the menu selection and the built-in ventilator on the grill, there were a few areas that fell short. First, the grill that we were initially given wasn't properly cleaned--there were remnants from its previous use in between the grates. And this wasn't the first occurrence, as we had our grill replaced a few times. Second, some of the Banchan didn't taste as fresh as it could have been. And third, some of the meat cuts (e.g., brisket and beef belly) were thicker than what we normally have, making them a bit chewy. Service: There was a wait when we walked in, which wasn't long (~15 min), and we had to put our name down through a kiosk. Once seated, you self-order through a tablet fixed to the table, which was straightforward to use, and items are brought to your table from the kitchen rather quickly. Also, our server was great--he was very accommodating and friendly, making the experience more positive. Ambiance: Casual. Parking: Ample parking. Located in a plaza.

It was lunch time and maybe 3 or 4 other tables, so we were quickly seated. The waitress was nice I think, but her tone of voice with her deep accent was very hard to understand. We got the basic bulgogi and wife and son got the galbi, all with soup. Overall, service was quick and efficient, but food taste was just average. The soup was and tofu was good, but it wasn't anything that stands out. Meat and banchan were good, but once again, it just seemed typical. All in all, it's probably 3.5 stars, but I'm giving it 3 as the value wasn't there. Yes, we got the specials which was a few dollars cheaper than their regular price, but the size or portion was all about 25% smaller than other Korean joints. As an eater, I liked my food in quality and quantity. Here, I felt I wasn't satisfied. Our go to is still cho dang village.

Chanmaru is pretty average overall for a Korean restaurant, but not in a bad way. I have been here…read moreseveral times and the food is consistently decent for the price, which is really what keeps me coming back once in a while. The tofu soup is fine but nothing special. It tastes similar to most Korean spots in the area and does not really stand out. Where this place is more unique is the number of side dishes. They give you a lot more banchan than most places around Carrollton, which is fun if you like variety. That said, while there is a big selection of side dishes, the quality is kind of mid. Some of the more popular banchan are actually a bit below average compared to other Korean restaurants nearby. It looks impressive on the table but flavor wise it does not fully deliver. It was pretty empty when I went for lunch, but the wood interior aesthetic was nice and made the space feel warm and comfortable. The servers were very nice and patient, which definitely helped the experience.
