    This place slaps so hard. I got chicken teriyaki bibipop, egg rolls, cucumber kimchi and the mango shaved ice dessert. Everything was a 10/10.

    Seating area

    A modern take on Korean food and definitely not fully authentic. It's right in the middle of downtown Fort Worth. My (Korean) mother in law was not impressed and she wasn't very happy that they did not have kimchi jjigae. I was kind of bummed about that too, since I wanted to order that as well :( they don't serve banchan for the table like most Korean restaurants, it's only served individually with certain meals and it's a tiny portion btw... I opted for the fried chicken as my meal even though it's a "starter" on the menu. My husband ordered the chicken katsu and my in-laws both ordered the bibimbap. Food came out at a reasonable time and pricing was reasonable as well. Aesthetic was the best part for me. The only thing that felt "Korean", minimalistic decor and aesthetic. Overall, ok experience.

    Kimchi jjigae

    While the banchan portions are on the smaller side and don't have much variety, they did taste good. I think they updated the menu since the last reviewer about the kimchi jjigae because it was on the menu. I ordered it and it tasted quite good. Server was polite and prompt. Restaurant was clean, plenty of room.

    I have to say I was not a fan of this place at all. The banchan was so small and the flavors were off. Wasn't a huge menu it was very limited. The service was good and the staff were polite and the restaurant was modern but the food didn't do it for me.

    Bulgulgi

    We walked over to Hoya from our hotel and was so glad we did. Unfortunately during our visit, they were out of Kimchi and Galbi. The main staples of a Korean BB1 joint. * sad face. We decided on getting the combo Bento box for my kids. We got the teriyaki chicken and teriyaki salmon. The combo was definitely plentiful with rice, salad, 3 dumplings, and noodle banchan. The dressing on the salad was delicious! Kids enjoyed their dishes. My husband and I split the Soontofu J Jigae (hot stew pot) and Bulgulgi Dolsot Bibimbop. The servings were huge! Perfect for sharing between 2 people. I highly recommend splitting the soup and bibimbop as eating the soup together with your selected protein really compliment each other and IMO, best way to eat Koren BBQ. The Bulgulgi was really good and not too sweet. I prefer savory side of my meats. I really wanted galbi but as mentioned before, they were out of it. Im not sure of their banchan was unlimited like im used too, bc i didn't ask. The banchan were just a a few slices. The protein servings were ample. Our server was kind but not much to elaborate on. The place is small and quaint. Great location in downtown and walking distance to the Sundance square. If we come back to the area, we would definitely try again and hopefully have their kim chi and glabi available. Overall, we'd recommend the place. Good food, service, and large swerving for the value.

    Korean fried chicken

    Hoya is a cute spot with friendly servers, but their food is quite average and the service was pretty slow. I hate to give it two stars because our server was super sweet, but I can't say I'd come back. Korean fried chicken - this appetizer was the best thing in the meal. Happy to say it was crispy and hot! (We were scared due to some other reviews) The sauce was sweet and sour, it was ok but not the most memorable. Beef bulgogi - unfortunately, I'd have to rank this pretty low among all the beef bulgogis I've had. Not very aromatic, no strong bulgogi flavor, and the meat looked a bit underwhelming visually. Spicy pork bibimbap - this was alright, but the bowl had less topping variety than most bibimbap bowls I've had. The pork itself was ok, but not memorable either. The gochujang sauce was good though! Mango colada iced tea (signature drink) - I hate to say that this was one of the worst drinks I've had. Certainly no colada flavor, barely any flavor really. And for some reason the drink was stinky. The service was pretty subpar. We weren't greeted by our waiter once we sat at our table for quite some time, so much that the neighboring table even commented on it! And trying to pay was chaotic because there were 3 or 4 tables who'd all been waiting a while, and everyone crowded the front desk once someone finally came. I think Hoya could really benefit from a couple more servers!

    Chicken Katsu Box
    Francisco R.

    On our way to lunch, we happened by Hoya and my boss said it was really good so we decided to stop in. They staff was very nice and though we were a large group they found a great spot for us. The place looks small but it was a nice elegant feel associated with it. The downtown atmosphere evaporates and you're left just focusing on chatting with friends and colleagues. Now, the food was amazing. I had the chicken katzu bento box and it was so good. The katzu sauce was a little on the sweet side, but otherwise delicious. The japchea was refreshing on a hot summer day. The dressing on the salad was like a ginger dressing, it was pretty tasty. We also split some kimchi fries which were good and some pieces had a spicy kick but nothing too much. I can't wait to come back!

    This was our first visit. We are visiting from Kentucky. The food was phenomenal, hot, fresh and flavorful! The serving staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was warm and inviting. We will definitely revisit when in the area.

    Chicken katsu

    Loved the place food was really good and nicely portioned, even went for a light dessert and didn't feel like a balloon! Server was great and attentive and the place is so cute. The music reminds me of being in a kdrama with how romantic the songs are. I loved it lol

    Coming from Los Angeles which contains the largest population of Koreans outside of Korea, I'm aware that I've been spoiled in having the opportunity to have authentic Korean food. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this spot in Fort Worth. It's a cute clean family owned spot. The Korean owner/cook lady came out to check on the customers which was nice. The server was friendly and the food came out fast. This hit my hankering for Asian food while on a work trip. Yet being from LA where there's Koreatown chock full of Korean restaurants, I wish there was banchan and spicier flavors in the soon tofu. It was still good, yet not as authentic and flavorful as Korean restaurants frequented by Koreans. The Kimchee fries were interesting, and could have used more kimchi. The seafood tofu was good, but could have more flavorful. A small ramekin of kimchi is available upon request. I assume the lack of banchan and spiciness in the food is that not many Fort Worth residents are familiar with that. I enjoyed my experience and was happy to find this place, yet if you're a Korean food foodie, be aware that while the food is good, it's more catered toward a non-Asian palate.

    Combo Chicken Katsu Box

    Stopped by Hoya on the way back home and the food looked delicious. We got edemame, the combo box, and GUI. Food was great and I wished they added more banchan on the side but nonetheless service was great and the place was neat and welcoming.

    Ramen soup with shrimp
    Syd G.

    I've never had Korean bbq. This was a first and we came here on a recommendation from my son and his wife. What's a quaint little place downtown. Here for a show at Bass Hall and we loved it. There was a little wait because it was a Saturday night but well worth it. The ramen bowls were phenomenal. They were more filling than I thought it would be for a soup bowl. Such a neat place and I want to try it again.

    Seafood SoonTofu soup  White Rice
    Enna J.

    Friendly service. Cute small casual dining establishment. Only a few tables. Street parking and parking garage nearby. The Shrimp "fries" were actually fried shrimp (panko-like coating)...really good. Miso soup was ok. The Seafood SoonTofu soup was packed with seafood (mussels and shrimp) which was great BUT the broth was a bit salty. Not unbearable but definitely saltier than I'm used to traditional SoonTofu.

    Well it was time for my girlfriend's birthday dinner and she decided she was in the mood for Korean…read morebarbecue and after her exploring this is the place she decided on. It's located in Hurst in a little strip mall that's mostly empty but you can see the concentration of business and cars in the corner on the side where this restaurant is, when we first walked in we both noticed a bit of a strange smell like I would describe as mildew and I think that's because they were running two portable air conditioner units inside so I don't think this is something that's on the regular and after we sat down neither of us noticed it again. As we walked in I also noticed That this place has a nice little cozy feel to it with some interesting decor, beautiful paintings on the wall and kind of an old school feel which I enjoy, there's an upstairs section that's pretty cool looking also where you can have private events or family style gatherings. Right off the bat the service was very friendly and attentive, we ordered two appetizers the shrimp Yakitori and an order of the pork and vegetable egg rolls both appetizers were fresh and delicious, I also had upon the servers recommendation their honey lemon ice tea which was very good. For our entrees My girlfriend ordered the spicy beef bulgogi and I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi, our food came out in a timely manner and was fresh and hot. The portion size was very good and I was happy to see the ratio of meat to vegetable was about 90% meat to 10% vegetable which is what I expect in a bulgogi. Overall I really liked this place and if I'm in Hurst I wouldn't hesitate to drop back in for some more delicious Korean food at Yori! P.s. No table grills just FYI

I'm not sure what their experience what, but I'm going to die on this hill that this is some phenomenal, life-changing chicken. I got takeout. Double flavor wings. Gang-jeong. Perfect balance of sweetness, umami, and heat. The other flavor was chessling. Again, perfect balance; this time, it was between rich cheesiness and a right amount of sweetness as well. I highly recommend both flavors. Now, this is just about the flavor itself. The meat itself was so tender and juicy. In the most appetizing, and hopefully not weird (but inevitably weird) way to describe it, it's almost as if I just caught the chicken with my bare hands and took a bite out of it. However, instead of getting feathers in my mouth, I was met with the most satisfyingly crispy exterior. What was specifically amazing about it was the fact that you could distinctly taste the tender meat on the inside separate from the crispy crunch on the outside. This was one of those meals where once I was done, I was in a complete coma afterwards. I woke up the next day in my bed about an hour or two before I had to get to work. Even though I was in a short vegetative state, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
