The food was tasty but the service was hit or miss. I thought the banchan you received at the restaurant no matter what you order there. I was craving pickled radish and I saw some pics with radish so we decided to give it a try. When I asked the server about pickled radish she told me we don't have it then I pointed out other tables and then she told me only for BBQ. 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. read more

Great service and good food. We got the $169 combo and it was good but definitely not worth that much. 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. Service was outstanding and if you get the soju then be prepared to be impressed! They bring it out ICE cold and it was the best thing to put in your mouth after a good bite of food. I also heard their other entrees are very good. Will have to go back to try these. Highly recommend this place. read more

It was so good I came back a week later with my family for mother's day! They have 2 large tables but otherwise there are booths (could probably fit 6) and table tops for 4. Service is so nice and they also cook most of the meat for you! The side dishes are really good and they also cycle through so it may not always be the same dish but it will be the same great quality. We especially enjoyed the fresh kimchi, green beans, cucumbers, pickled radish, and the salad. For the meat sets, it definitely doesn't look like much as a list but once you start eating? Oh man, both times I've gone we ended up with to go boxes because we were so full! This is also without eating with rice! The cuts are very good but I recommend eating with kimchi or the salad to cut the fat. Overall a must try! The pork combo and the beef and pork combo for BBQ were well worth it! read more

Good for family and big groups! There's plenty of seating and it's easy to get a table. They have set menus you can order from or order a la carte. We got one of the set menus and it came with soo many sides and was Plenty of food for 2 to 3 people. I really enjoyed the beef cuts but thought the pork cuts were just okay in the set. We also ordered side cold noodles which was also good to have with the meat. The waitress comes and grills the meat for you here but you do have to keep an eye on it as they can get busy and forget to come back often. All the sides were pretty good and I was stuffed by the end of it all. read more

The food was amazing, with the freshest meat I've ever had at any Korean BBQ restaurant. They also had well-seasoned sides like corn, egg, and soups. The service especially stood out--after coming once, our server still remembered us from two years ago! She was very accommodating with any questions we had and made sure to check on us often. It has a very welcoming atmosphere and has become my go-to spot in Carrollton! read more

Ham Ji Bak Korean BBQ - 함지박 돼지갈비 BBQ - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

This is NOT an all you can eat Korean BBQ, so the final bill can be very high depending what you order. I'll break down the pros and cons about this place. Pros: Good service - ladies were sweet to us, super quick about grilling our food, and refilled water bottles consistently Bonchons - so many different sides and they mostly tasted great (ask for more of the ones you like) Meats - we tried the Combo B2 and thought the quality of the beef and pork were good Seating - tables were spacious enough for everything (we had extra meat so they put them on the table behind us) Variety - lots of options for hot pots, bibimbap, non-grilling meat dishes, stews, etc. as well as drinks Cons: Service - while the ladies were awesome, they didn't really let us grill our own meats as they kept pushing more meats on us when we weren't ready Price - I thought the price was expensive for the amount of food we received Spicy Stir Fried Squid - there weren't too many squids but lots of fillers like onions and green onions Seating - not too many tables so I can see there being long lines on the weekends read more

Ham Ji Bak Korean BBQ - 함지박 돼지갈비 BBQ - Family night - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Had a delicious meal here tonight and will definitely be returning! This is not an All You Can Eat place, but they have some real positives when I compare to some of the AYCE Korean BBQ places around here - firstly, I didn't have to cook my own meat! And secondly, I didn't leave feeling stuffed to the brim! Three of us went and shared the A1 combo which is 4 different beef options, that were all very good. It came with a salad and a bunch of different small side dishes including kimchi, a soup, glass noodles, cheesy corn, an egg dish, a spicy radish/seaweed dish, and more. For the three of us I think this was just the right amount of food! For two, we would have definitely had leftovers. We also ordered the tteokbokki, and a few flavors of Soju (strawberry, peach, and apple mango - apple mango was definitely the best!) read more

Pretty good quality Korean BBQ and good service too! We got one of the BBQ sets that had beef and a few different cuts of pork and ordered the cold noodles separately and one other dish separately. The quality of the beef was fantastic and really tender. The different cuts of pork were good but pretty comparable to the quality at other places. I thought that the different banchan side dishes were pretty good too and had a large variety. They grilled the meats for us here which was great. read more

I really don't want to be this person - but our experience here was probably going to be our last. We were frequent regulars of Ggui Ggui and when this place changed management we decided to check them out. We walked in fairly late (1 hr before closing) I asked if we could still get seated and they said yes. Not even 1 page turn into our menu on deciding if we wanted something quick or kbbq, our server rushes over and she asked us what we were planning to do and said kbbq will be the best option in terms of benefit and that while we were still deciding she will just heat up the grill. I asked for literally one more minute to see everything and she said "its ok sweetie i'll take care of you just get the combo." And before we could say anything else she turned on the grill and spilled my drink everywhere. We already felt bad for coming late so we just hesitated and agreed. When she brought out the meats she also spilled our sauces on the table and just turned the heat really high and cooked our pork very poorly. It wasn't even partially cooked before she started cutting it so it flung into our banchan. Raw pork. At this point I could tell she was a little drunk because she asked us if it was our first time here like 3 times and when she changed our grill, some of our pork belly flipped into the grill water well. :/ She said our food was good to eat when it was very clear our pork was still pink. (Pic attached) We asked for napkins so many times and she just blew us over to drink with the booth next to us. This all happened in a span of like 5-10 minutes bc "i'm going to give you fast service because you came so late.", I understand that we came late but this is no way to treat customers that you willingly seated. If you didn't want us to dine in we would've been completely fine with it and found another place that could accommodate. Eventually she has a younger server, Eureka(?), to cook the rest of our food and it was a way calmer, less hostile experience. She made our $85 dollar experience feel like one. Brought us napkins, packed our food togo, etc. I wish we had her from the very beginning. Towards the end of our meal, she brought us out the check and our previous server came over to give us "massages" so we could quickly pay, not realizing we already did. She started coughing into our grill and took my plate away before I could finish so we just took that as a cue to leave. I just hate that our experience was tainted as she seemed like a genuinely nice person, but getting belligerently drunk, rushing us, making other people do your side work AND making other people serve your initial table just isn't right. I hope they take this as constructive criticism and implement better training for staff and maybe close the kitchen earlier since the staff has already checked out at 10 lol. I don't think I will be back and i'm not telling you to stay away, because the food was genuinely good. Just wish we had a better experience. read more

Ham Ji Bak Korean BBQ - 함지박 돼지갈비 BBQ - Uncooked pork, terrible cutting, rushed us to finish when we literally couldn't even eat the meat yet - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Overall good experience. Really liked the glass noodles; honestly could have enjoyed that as my meal.

If you're looking for amazing Korean BBQ, Ham Ji Bak is hands-down one of the best spots around. The quality of the meat is honestly next-level--super tender, flavorful, and perfectly marinated. You can really taste how fresh and high-quality the cuts are, whether it's pork belly, short ribs, or anything else on the menu. But what really sets this place apart is the banchan (side dishes). Most places give you a few basics, but here they give you a full spread--and every single one is delicious. From crispy kimchi to fluffy steamed egg and pickled radish, everything tastes homemade and they keep refilling them without even having to ask. The vibe is casual and fun, and the service is super friendly and fast. Whether you're going with a group of friends or just want a good meal, it's a great place to kick back, eat well, and not worry about breaking the bank. The prices are surprisingly reasonable for how much food and quality you're getting. read more

This place is great! We rolled the dice and came here since there are so many restaurants here in K-Town. What a great roll. We came for a Sunday lunch; the place was not crowded but we were the only non-Asians there. That's a great sign. We ordered bulgogi bibimbab, barbecued beef and a seafood soup. My nephew said the seafood was delicious; he was literally jumping for joy. Both beef dishes were also fabulous; we fought over the crispy rice under the bulgogi. Also, the variety of banchon was great. The two beef dishes easily fed 3 of us. And the prices were quite reasonable. Service was great as well. Note that there is NO chicken on the menu so if you don't eat beef, pork or seafood, your choices are limited to vegetarian options. That's not bad but you should know in advance. But we can't wait to go back! read more

Ham Ji Bak is famous for its pork ribs in LA, so I often went there to have ribs. When I was on a business trip to Dallas and wanted to eat Korean food, I came to Korean Mall - Furneaux Creek Village Shopping Center in Carrollton, which is in Koreatown, and was wondering what to eat, and when I saw Ham Ji Bak and went inside without thinking any further. It was so cold on the day I visited that l ordered galbitang and spicy stir-fried squid as a side. Honestly, the food wasn't as good as I used to eat in LA. However, the server was really friendly and like family, almost like an aunt, and she was really kind and brought the side dishes right away when they were running low, so I was able to finish my meal with 100% satisfaction. The taste of the food was a bit disappointing, but the customer service was top notch. read more

I love their side dishes, try all their menu. Not just the Korean BBQ. My go to is kimchijjim.

This new Korean restaurant is amazing! The meat portions are very generous here and the banchan is so freaking delicious! They said they make their kimchi in house every single day and it's so good!! The ajummas were so sweet and grilled our meat perfectly. They also have traditional Korean dishes like barley rice bibimbop which I have never seen outside of Korea before. Definitely worth a visit!! read more

Fresh everything. This experience is relaxed and filling. The service is superb.they assist in selecting everything

So this is not the same restaurant as the one in LA. Same name, but different restaurants. They do not have the famous ribs like the one in LA. The food and service were great. Portions are big. We did the combo for two and could not finish. The meats were all high quality. I would come back again. read more

Gamsahamnida auntie Sue for grilling the meat for us! She was so kind and gave great recommendations especially for traveling to Korea. My friends and I loved the food and service (we ordered the Beef and Pork Combo A). Definitely worth a try! read more

Food was great. I've already been back multiple times and always enjoy the spread to remember.

We got the Beef & Pork Combo A and the food was amazing! Honestly one of the best KBBQ's I've had in Dallas. Start with the pink radish, then dip the meat in the sesame sauce, and then eat it together along with some salad!! Service was great. They cooked the meat for us and continuously checked up to see how we were doing. I would definitely go again! read more

We got the A2 set and was more than enough for our party of 3. The meat is super high quality and the service is outstanding. Our server, Sue, was super attentive and cooked and cut the meat for us and she's super sweet too! Highly recommend this place! read more

The food was mediocre and the ambiance and service were terrible. We will not be coming back.

Every part of my visit was lovely! Our waitress was patient and kind-- she answered all our questions well! I had the seafood stew, and though the waitress warned me it might be too spicy for me, it was absolutely perfect!! It was filling and delicious, very reasonably priced, and the service was wonderful. I would love to go back!!! read more

They do have an amazing salad, but one big downside is that they require you to order two dishes à la carte -- and it's not stated on the menu, which feels a bit misleading. Honestly, at that price point, I'd much rather go to Saemaeul Korean BBQ -- the food, value, and overall experience are just better. This will probably be my last visit to this restaurant, unless someone else is treating (and even then, I'd question their taste ). The pricing just doesn't match the quality of the food or the dining environment. read more

Servers are rude and service is not really good. But they will just want to take tip out for pocket.

They had the best Korean bbq ever! They were all super nice. They cooked for us so we dont have to. I would visit again if I had time.

What a mess. If I'm paying a premium for meat, I would expect them to at least grill the meat. They put the meat on the grill, said they would come back but they never came back. Our meat overcooked and we just ended up cooking all of the meat ourselves. We saw all of the waiters go to other tables multiple times and they never came back. Maybe cause we were the youngest ones in the restaurant they didn't give us any attention. The food was also subpar. Soup was watery, egg had no flavor. The spicy galbi jjim was sweet and not in the least spicy. Not a great start... read more

Very good service and yummy food. The side dishes were delicious. Our server auntie Sue did amazing with providing refills and cooking our food! Overall would come again! read more

I'm so excited to have discovered this restaurant! It's a bbq restaurant with a varied menu. We ordered the barley rice bibimbap, Kalbi tang, spicy pork, and the pork spareribs. Everything was delicious-perfectly seasoned! The numerous side dishes were so good, too. We asked if the kitchen could grill the meat for us, and they did a great job. By the way, when we go to a kbbq, we usually grill ourselves, especially when they're busy. read more

It was a thing in LA maybe like 10 years ago and they fell off and came to Dallas thinking it would be easy. Service and food quality is terrible here. read more
