The food here hit the spot! The leek pancake was really simple but so good. The soup was the right amount of spice and a good portion too! They were really attentive there also, they have screens at the table so you can order more food, call a server over, or ask for the bill.

Sooooo good. This Korean establishment offers an open casual dining area. Upon entry, we were seated immediately -land ordered from the kiosk at the table. We ordered the pork bone broth and the hotpot. It was the perfect meal to end the day. Warm and filling. I would come here often if I lived in the Dallas area.

Checked out this newer spot in the Korean plaza and was excited to give it a try. The ambiance and service were top notch. I loved the décor and how cozy it felt inside. The marinated pork ribs were solid, but I was hoping for a little more char and deeper flavor. Still good, just not quite what I expected. I'd probably go for the galbi next time. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth trying

We came by around 2 p.m. for a late lunch, and it was about half full. The space is huge with tons of seating, is super bright inside, and was decked out with festive holiday decorations. Ordering is fully digital via tablet (but they still have physical menus). There's zero cell service inside, but they're smart about it and have WiFi info posted at the entrance and along the walls. We ordered the leek pancake, pork soup with Korean sausage, and spicy pig's feet. Everything came out within minutes, and each entrée came with a bowl of purple rice. The banchan were really good, with the kimchi daikon being my favorite. You can ask for refills. The Korean sausage was great, not too heavy on the blood flavor. The leek pancake was simple and light (basically leek + egg). The spicy pig's feet were excellent -- very spicy, tender, flavorful, and even had tteokbokki mixed in. They really love leeks here and use them as a topping on everything. For payment - since you don't have a designated server, you either tap the "call staff" button on the tablet or walk up to the service desk to pay. Overall, a solid spot if you're craving pork-heavy Korean comfort food.

Went back with some coworkers. Everyone loved it! The service is so efficient yet kind here and the atmosphere is clean and bright. I ordered the same thing again (pork gukbap and blood sausage to share with my partner). They gave us a pancake on the house and it was piping hot and delicious. My partner got the brisket soup (not pictured) and he liked it but he liked the spicy beef noodle soup more. Next time we come back I want to get the chicken. It looks tasty and others have given glowing reviews. I'll be back soon!

I love a good pork soup and was looking forward to trying this new establishment. Our large party came at 11 am on Sunday, and the restaurant was already super packed. The restaurant was clean and spacious. The waiter was nice brought us water quickly. The pork soup was very hearty with a flavorful, rich broth and a generous amount of pork slices. The cold noodles were delicious with perfectly chewy buckwheat noodles and the portion was huge! The broth had a strong, tasty flavor that really hit the spot. Perfect for a warm day! One strange thing was that an order of cold noodles ended up coming out 20 minutes after everyone else's. The waiter was apologetic and we had to follow up several times, and by the time we received the last dish most of us were done eating. My diagnosis: Solid Korean restaurant with excellent pork soup and cold buckwheat noodles; I highly recommend you try it out.

Great place for Korean soup, but warning, DON'T ORDER THE JANGTEO GUKBAP! It was delicious, but there was barely any beef in my food . Unless you're ok with eating mostly vegetables in your soup with a few sprinkle of beef, order something else. That's why I deducted a star. On an evening during the weekend, it's really busy, so if you're on the waitlist, look at the menu ahead of time so that when you have a table, you can immediately order on the tablet and wait less for your food.

I met up with a friend to try out Wonjo Busan Gukbap, the newest Korean restaurant that opened in koreatown Carrollton. The chef of this place used to work at 2 popular Korean restaurants in koreatown in LA: hangari kalguksu and jinsol gukbap. We came for lunch on a weekday and this place was packed to the brim. It felt like every Korean person in Dallas was here. Luckily, we did not have to wait long on the wait list at all. They are known for their signature Gukbap, which is especially known from the Busan region. I ordered the regular Gukbap with soondae and my friend for the gukbap by itself. I originally wanted the jangteo Gukbap spicy beef soup but it was sold out. It comes with a side of rice, a risotto like appetizer that I can't really describe, a plate of chives, rice noodles, and banchan. The gukbap has a pork broth with green onions, pork belly, and a ball of spicy bean paste that you mix in. It was really light and soothing. They have some items available to add to your soup to season it more. You can either eat the soondae by itself or mix it in with your soup. It's basically just a very chewy sausage, I don't think it's for me personally. There are not that many banchan options but they are pretty good quality. Overall, this is a pretty solid spot for some Korean food

We got the pork soups and it was okay. The soup was clean cut and definitely cooked without any porky smell. There were also a lot of meat pieces. I was a little disappointed by the lack of flavor/depth overall. They put the chili paste already in the soup but recommended we add salt/pepper to our taste. I felt like I had to add a lot of shrimp soy sauce with the salt and pepper to add to the flavor/taste of the soup and side dishes. The kimchi was also slightly disappointing. It looked so flavorful and delicious but definitely lacked the fish sauce depth. If it was freshly just made kimchi, I would recommend adding sesame oil to add some more flavor. Overall pretty bland taste in the meal. I would say the best part about our meal was the barley rice as an added appetizer. That was a creative idea and definitely was delicious despite the simple ingredients. We were able to order on the ipads which are attached to each table. You can place orders on the ipads and request for other items including the bill. This is a great concept which reminds me a lot of Korea. The lady who served our food was very sweet as she explained which items went in the soup. The spoons and napkins are also located on the side of the table which is also another concept from Korea. Not a bad place to visit if you want to experience a true Korean restaurant.

The restaurant is so unassuming from the outside but once you step in, it feels like a different place entirely! The restaurant is large with ample seating and its also connected to the establishment next door. Waitstaff is friendly and explained the cutlery in the table immediately before walking away. We were so excited that we ended up ordering the leek pancake, pork belly slice, and beef short ribs soup with napa. Everything came out so good. The leek pancake was crispy and paired well with its sauce. The pork belly slices came in a broth over a burner and samjang with onion and jalapeño slices, everything paired so well with the purple rice and ban chans. The beef short ribs soup was so packed with napa and 2 short ribs along with bean sprouts that with rice, was so comforting. The ban chans were fantastic and the entrees were as well. I would definitely return!

New gukbap restaurant in Dallas! They took over sorimmara and renovated the space. Super huge and cute interior. You order everything from the iPad but there are still servers walking around if you need help We ordered the leek pancake to start and it was amazing. Tiny pieces of octopus inside and the taste was spot on. I ordered the jangteo gukbap and the beef was super tender and the soup had a slight kick. I added a little more salt and salted shrimp (on each table) for a little more flavor. My bf got the shredded beef brisket soup and that was good too. The side dishes complimented the soups well and the food was brought out very fast. Highly recommend especially since fall is coming up. Soup weather!

Heard good things so came to try. The decor is minimalist utilitarian, but the ambiance is lively as they were bustling with patrons. It was busy even for a Sat late lunch, we had a short wait, but only maybe 5-10 mins. But it did not disappoint, it was so good! Their kimchi was delicious; I could eat just that with rice. I wonder if they sell their own kimchi? The Leek Pancake was really good, came out hot. The Pork Soup was not bad, but the Beef Short Rib with Napa was excellent, the soup was so flavorful. Will come back just for that. The table kiosk tablet is pretty convenient to place your food order, call staff or ask for bill. Our server was friendly and efficient.

Wonjo Busan Gukbap (원조 부산 국밥) - Carrollton, Texas Born in Busan, I grew up with parent and relatives who were naturally more inclined toward Busan culture, which includes food as one part of it. Often time I visit Busan, I had a cousin who took me to different gukbap restaurants, where one I had last time was amazing. Thus, when I learned that this newly opened place in Carrollton, Texas, taking over the previous Sorim Mala (소림마라)'s location, is going to be a Busan gukbap place, I gotta try out. And I often have a habit of trying many different places by myself before recommending the place to my friends and my family, because my mom and my older sis are quite picky about places. My first impression was that the place is quite huge, which was expected because the place was originally designed to be huge. I came little late after a typical lunch time around 1 pm, so the customers are probably not so crowded than usual. The service was excellent, and everything looked clean, maybe so because it is a new restaurant. The food came out quickly, which took about 10 minutes or less. The food was quite delicious, though I have to try other items over time to judge that it is really good. Only maybe slightly negative thing is that the price is little on a rather expensive side, compared to some other cheaper alternatives available for same gukbap. But given the service quality, atmosphere, and many different banchan (반찬) - side dishes that were given, I think this will be a place that I will visit again.
