Came in for lunch with some family and got seated fairly quickly. They told us they were out of kimchi so we couldnt get anything with kimchi in the menu. So we decided to get some lunch bentos and the hot stone bibimbap and a seafood korean pancake. The pancake was good a little salty but overall good for sharing. I liked my marinated spicy chicken bento and felt that it was quite filling. The hot stone bibimbap was just okay but probably because we got it with tofu and not with any other meats. There's plenty of seating inside and bar seating too. Seems like a spot where people come for lunch during work. Its not the best korean food I've had but would recommend for a lunch spot if I was near by and wanted something different than what's near by. Service was good and the host and waitress was helpful. read more

Ambiance 10 Food - 6/10 extremely disappointed in the Kimchi pancake, Korean chicken was average, tofu stew was good. Service 10 great service Average drinks Reasonable pricing read more

Excited to see this open in downtown Ft Worth! Overall this was just ok. Service was friendly....when you could get your server. There would be big lapses of time when we didn't see our server. Food was average. The Korean fried chicken is not authentic nor good, think of breaded chicken tenders. The seafood pancake was under-done. Soontofu soup was spectacular and must order. Bimbimbap and the bento box (bulgogi) was just ok. Funnily enough THERE WAS NO KIMCHI. The banchan (side dishes) were mashed potatoes, pickles and radish. Overall wouldn't return, far many better and more authentic Korean spots. read more

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. read more

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. read more

YUCK! I tried to dine here while on jury duty and was extremely disappointed. The cheapest lunch thing to order was almost $20 and the portion was laughable! The waitresses took nearly 5 mins to greet me then 10 mins to being water and the glass was dirty. I ordered the chicken bimbamp bowl and the portion was a joke, maybe 1/2 cup of rice spread across the bottom which was mostly burnt and still sizzling/cooking upon delivery, with lots of day old veggies atop. It was very displeasing to the sight and i sent it back immediately. Never again! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Hoya Korean Kitchen - Chicken katsu - Korean Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Very dissatisfied -do not order the salmon. I received salmon that tasted very fishy. Tried to get something else and they would not simply because they said the chef cooked it correctly. Very poor customer service I had always said what a great place. This was until this experience very sad to see such a great place go down downhill read more

I believe Hoya's starters are more worth your tastebuds as opposed to their main dishes. I got the Mild Jin Ramen and the noodles were quite soggy and the broth was not as rich in flavor as I'd liked. The kimchi fries were really good, although there was barely any kimchi in it. The mando was by far my favorite thing we got and I would get it again. The place is rather small, but you can park in the garage next door and get 2 hours worth of free parking. And the servers were nice to a larger group (6) like ours! read more

We have been to the old location before. This location? We went there a very very cold night. They might try to save the utility bill. But it was super cold. Even if the waitresses were wearing the jackets. Don't go there if it's cold. read more

experience at this restaurant was completely ruined my the terrible service we receive. the server was aggressive with customers, and staff. The server rolled her eyes when asked for recommendations and dismissed the question completely. she coughed on the food and got even more aggressive when we asked for the manager. terrible service here but great food. management needs to train their servers better and actually walk around and ask the customers if food, service is well since larger tables they automatically add a service tip to the bill. At this point order take out. read more

This restaurant is a nice option for a quick meal. The food: came out fast and was tasty. Many of the menu options seem like they're pre-made or are warmed up. I was caught off guard to see that on the menu the Ramen stated that it is a packaged Ramen and prepared at the restaurant. The chicken was good. It didn't taste like chicken, but it was still good with a slightly spicy seasoning. The egg rolls were yummy. I'm not sure if they were pre-made and fried when ordered but they definitely did the job for me. The Ambiance: the ambiance is nice. It's dimly lit, bare tables, with some pop music playing in the background. The service: the service was good. Our waitress attended to our needs. They were accommodating for sure. Now, this restaurant get 3 stars simply becuase it was a nice place to eat, and I'll DEFINITELY be back, especially if I want some egg rolls. However, there was nothing too special about Hoya. The food was good, the service was good, the ambiance was good. It's okay and decently priced. Like I said, I'll be back. Hoya is one of those restaurants that'll always be around because of its convience and nice service. read more

Ok.. didn't expect anything in Dallas Fort Worth for Korean food but the bibimbap here was pretty good.. the kimchi fries were kind of a weird twist but the taste wasn't too bad. The meats were definitely delicious and seasoned correctly. Gotta try the spicy pork stone pot bibimbap. Ask for gochujang if you want it spicier! read more

Stopped in here during lunch. Thankfully we came on the earlier side of lunch so it wasn't too busy. It got busy as ate. Our server was attentive if not a little too attentive.

If you want servers to be extremely aggressive with handling your request, cough on you and your food, and crash out when you decide to split the checks because she's incompetent in managing who ordered what, dine here :) great food, but service was probably the worst I've ever experienced. Don't blame a convention for why you cannot upkeep service. People understand busy restaurant times, they cannot understand rudeness and unprofessional behavior in an establishment that is open to the public. If you're going to serve, serve, no excuse. We had the waitress literally tell us we cannot order drinks. It's too busy for her. While we saw other people drinking around us. We asked her how so, and she corrected herself and said oh you can order simple drinks like beers and souju. We even worked with her to make the life easy. Whew people wanted a recommendation on food and she was quick to dismiss. When I tell you this girl missed her boat at working for dicks last resort, this is an understatement. She would have truly shined there. Management was not around to check on the experience, and that's a shame. read more

They are not closed. They moved up the street closer to PF Changs. I was just there and WOW!! The good was delicious. I had the teriyaki chicken and loved it. My coworkers also all loved their meals and the spicy pork was the talk of the afternoon. We'll be back. read more

So I went back with friends recently and while it was not that busy, there was an issue with our waiter ... Basically, he ignored our table ... There were three of us, one guy and two ladies... He would serve the tables around us, even people who sat after we arrived, not sure why our table was ignored. So I had to call on the management of the establishment to get service. The manager took care of us, recognized the two ladies who were locals and frequent guests. The food was good, as always, and we would continue to be returning customers Unfortunately, the lack of service from the one waiter was disappointing read more

Very nice and fast service. Food was very good and well served. Spicy pork hit the spot.

We love a good Bibimbap and this place delivered. We started with egg rolls and kimchi cucumbers. Both were delicious. We followed with Bibimbap. I had tofu and my husband had salmon. The bowls are served on a hot stone so it is piping hot and gets the rice sticky in the bottom. YUM. Everything was served very efficiently and quickly, and was hot and fresh. Delicious and satisfied the craving. Our server was quiet and friendly. He recommended we come back to try the spicy pork bibimbap ext time. We will be back! read more

Food was good and what i was expecting. It used to be a nice restaurant that also served alcohol. Compared to their previous location it is now this place is a sterile bar that serves food. read more

So the place is pretty good sized but not many customers. They have several options and we all chose the box meals. The meals are pretty small but most of it was tasty. The cucumber kimchi was not good and lacked heat or seasoning just like the kimchi. The beef and mando were really good and we were just underwhelmed by it. The servers never came by and they didn't have a few things like you would expect. Not a bad place just needs some love and seasoning read more

Came here for lunch while visiting Fort Worth with my mom. Read reviews online and thought we would try it. I really hadn't had much Korean food prior to eating here. But let me tell you, definitely will be eating more Korean food in the future! We ordered the bibimbop which was served in a hot stone pot. I ordered mine with pork and my mom ordered hers with beef. It had rice, a fried egg, bean sprouts, cabbage, carrots, etc. It was so flavorful and honestly, pretty healthy. Not greasy at all. The pork had a really great flavor as well! My mom enjoyed her beef too. The servings are large and filling. A great place for lunch, service is quick and the food is quality! read more
