    Banchan
    David Y.

    My wife and I were out late and decided we wanted to have Korean food. However, it was quite late and all of the Korean restaurants we normally frequented were already closed. Fortunately, we found the only Korean restaurant in the area that was open - K-Tang! I ordered the Army Stew, my wife ordered the Hot Stone Bibimbap, and we were given an array of sides (barchan) that were all delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful in giving suggestions. I probably wouldn't have ordered the Army Stew, but our waitress said it one of the best things there. It was a good suggestion! If you're in the Sprint Branch area late at night (or in the daytime!) K-Tang is worth a visit!

    Sea Squirt Mulhoe (Spicy Cold Noodle) / 멍게 물회냉면

    Came here with my wife. I had the sea squirt cold noodles and my wife had the salmon cold noodles. Flavor wise, it was not good, salmon was low quality and fishy, and the sea squirt i had was extremely fishy. Service was slow, never checked up on us to see how the food is, we had two free drinks but we had to remind the servers because they forgot to bring the drinks out. Sorry but I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

    Service is excellent Food was amazing. To me I want some spicy in it. None of the foods were spicy. Flavorful and super fresh seafood.

    I really like the concept of this restaurant, and had high hopes. They specialize in seafood, and it reminded me a lot of Busan. We got the spicy cold noodle with cuttle fish, and it was different. I never had cold noodles like this before. The broth was a bit bland compared to what I was used to, and because they added crushed ice, the broth watered down causing it to become more bland. The cuttle fish was good though. Not sure if I would order it again, but it was cool to try. I also order the sizzling eel plate, and was disappointed. There was a good amount of eel, but it just tasted okay. However, the rice was dry. Not sure if the sizzling plate caused the rice to be dry, but this has never happened at other restaurants before. I wouldn't order this. Because I really like the concept, I want to give this place another try if I am in the area.

    They have done a little remodeling since the last time I dropped in. The front door got moved, seems to have added more dining table. However, service and food quality seems to have taken a turn downhill. I came in with a group of 9. Totally understandable that we would have to wait a bit for a table without reservations on a Friday night. Once we were seated, I had to ask for menus. Then it took a while to get food ordered. There were some dishes that tasted great. Here are the good ones: Banchans - great variety, especially love the spicy shishito peppers Spicy stir-fried squid - good amount of squid to veggies ratios Seafood pancake - nice & crispy Spicy beef and seafood stew - comes with glass noodles, hearty Kimchi pork stew - can't go wrong with this dish La Galbi - good portion The meh: The raw soy marinated crabs were pricier $45.95 than everywhere else I've had it but it was also the smallest, 3 really small crabs. The galbi tang had a weird soap after taste and the short ribs did not taste good, almost like the meat was cooked while frozen. It was the one dish that we didn't finish. Braised short ribs galbi-jim - this looked like a soup, was not braised like I'm used to. Had two small chunks of short ribs for $24.95. We kept having to ask for things like bowls, refills on banchans. Maybe I came in an "off" night. I remember my prior experience being really good so will come back and try again.

    Wow!! One of the best Korean spots in town. They have a wide variety of tasty food options from raw marinated crab to flavorful soups and appetizers. I was very impressed by the quality of their food options. On this visit, I tried the seafood pancake, raw marinated crab, and army stew. The pancake was so crispy and flavorful with heaping portions of seafood. The raw marinated crab was flavored perfectly. The army stew was so tasty too. I had such a great experience here. Food was fantastic! I've been to numerous Korean spots in town, and this is by far one of the best. I can't wait to come back.

    While heading home, we decided on a whim to stop by this place, and we are very pleased that we did. The service was excellent, and the quality of the food exceeded our expectations. We quickly realized that the portion sizes were quite generous; once the first dish arrived at the table, we immediately regretted having ordered three large portions. Fortunately, we were able to take the leftovers home. The ambiance was cozy and relaxed, particularly at 3:30 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon. We look forward to returning in the future.

    Seafood pancake

    Typical Korean decor inside of K-Tang. Great service. Banchan was ok. Seafood pancake was tasty; could be more crispy. Honey spicy wings didn't have a kick to it, but it was savory. Wished the wings were more fried/crispy as well. Tried some of the soy salmon rice bowl; pretty good! Not crazy about the sashimi naengmyeon. I've had better cold spicy noodles elsewhere. The kimchi pork stew was addicting! Not a fan of the pork cuts (more fat/tendon than meat). Overall K-Tang is worth trying at least once!

    Soy salmon rice bowl

    K tang is a place that I have been wanting to try for awhile. I came for dinner in a weekday and it was fairly empty inside. There's plenty of parking available as well. Their menu seemed very unique, they seem to specialize in cold noodles. Unfortunately, it's winter right now and I wasn't feeling like ordering cold noodles. We ended up ordering a soy salmon and soy shrimp rice bowl and the seafood soft tofu soup. They bring out a set of banchan after you order. I think they change up the banchan that they serve daily because one of my friends came here yesterday and they said that the banchan was different. The banchan they had was very interesting. It included sausage, pancake, radishes, and acorn jelly. I was surprised that there was no kimchi. The first dish that came out was the soft tofu soup. It was sizzling hot and you can taste the strong seafood flavor. I'd say it's definitely my favorite soondubu that I've tried in Houston so far. The slices of salmon were do big and thick. It's basically a sashimi rice bowl. The soy sauce flavor was pretty subtle and not too overpowering. Overall pretty satisfied with this restaurant but I would recommend the soondubu over the soy rice bowls

    K Tang is the best! The food is delicious, but what really sets this place apart is the people. One night, my girlfriend and I were hanging out when one of the workers offered us a sake bomb on the house. They treated us like friends, not just customers, which is rare these days. Service like that, combined with great food, is exactly why I'll be coming back for sure. 6 stars

    GalbiJjim
    Jennifer N.

    Went for lunch on a Monday afternoon. You know a place is authentic when all the customers are Korean. Ordered the spicy cold noodles with snapper, the galbijjim, and the yukdaejang. They had a special senior citizen's happy hour special, so ended up getting an extra yukdaejang for free. In total, was about $70+ tip with lots of leftovers. The galbijjim was nice and sweet, with well-braised meat that falls off the bone with ease. It's a smaller portion but filling overall. The spicy cold noodles were refreshing and icy. I wish they had an option for the sashimi style cold noodles but not spicy! Finally, the yukdaejang was warm, spicy, and flavorful. It came with a nice sticky rice. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The menu items are a little expensive but the portion sizes make up for it. Worth the visit! Will need to be back!

    Ban Chan
    Candy C.

    Food had good flavor and there is a good selection of items on the menu. Service was friendly, but not consistent Parking is in a shared lot We ordered seafood, pancake to share (good flavor but feel apart as you picked it up). The ban chan - there was a decent variety but I found it strange there was not cabbage kimchi. I ordered Galbi Jjim (The broth was flavorful, and the meat and vegetables were tender - so good on a cold night) It's not a huge space, but there are tables for large The 3 stars is for inconsistent service. I will be back to try other menu items.

    With a cold front hitting Houston, we were craving something warm and comforting specifically Korean noodle soup since we are already in the Long Point area. I briefly considered the H-Mart food court, but then Yelp brought us to K-Tang (tang meaning soup in Korean), which sounded perfect for what we wanted. When we walked in, there was only one other table occupied, so we seated ourselves. Several TVs were on, adding a casual atmosphere. We ordered the galbi jjim (braised short rib) and the ox bone soup. They served hot barley tea right away, which was perfect for the chilly weather. The food arrived in about 10 minutes. The ox bone soup was mild and comforting--you season it yourself with the salt and generous amount of green onions provided. The banchan selection was on the simpler side: kimchi, cucumber, fish cake, kelp/seaweed, macaroni salad, and daikon. I wish they offered something extra like anchovies or bean sprouts, but it was fine. They also had a salad, which we didn't touch. I enjoyed my ox bone soup quite a bit. The galbi jjim was tender, though a little sweeter than we personally prefer. We happened to be there during the World Cup draw, so we stayed for over an hour watching the groups being announced. Even after we finished eating, they didn't rush us, which I appreciated. Toward the end, our waitress offered complimentary coffee even though we didn't take it. I briefly spoke with the owner, I assume he is the owner, and that their specialty is cold noodles, On a 40-degree day, I wasn't tempted by cold noodles, but maybe next time when it's warmer. Overall, a warm, comforting meal and friendly service. I'd definitely return when I'm in the area.

I told him I had just spoken to someone yesterday, and he "you have wrong information, there's no way we can do reservations with this many people - you probably called the corporate office (it's the number listed on their website so that made no sense)" and was very dismissive of me and not apologetic whatsoever. It's totally understandable that reservations wouldn't be possible on a World Cup day. Seems like the staff are not all on the same page, or I was misled to just get my group into the bar (which has happened at other bars during the tournament so it's not unheard of). Had to take my three nieces elsewhere at the last minute and don't imagine I'll be returning after that experience.

They have plenty of tables inside and seating at the bar. The patio area has a nice covered area with some TVs, typically with a local sports game on. Typically at least a couple of families are around, either playing a game or just enjoying the patio with a cold pint. Food & Drink - 4.75* Great local craft beer selection! Definitely give the wall a close look as there's probably something you haven't tried unless you frequent the place already. For food, they have plenty to choose from. Starter and shareables such as chips & queso, pretzels, flautas, or spinach & artichoke dip. For mains you can grab a salad or a guilty pleasure like burgers, wings, and chicken sandwiches. I've had plenty of the items and have never been disappointed. I definitely recommend the onion rings if you go with a sandwich meal. That's not to say the tots or fries are bad, it's just their onion rings are really on point. On Thursday they do ribeye night, so give it a go if you're looking for something a bit more substantial. Service - 4* I've found generally speaking the service is pretty good when ordering at the bar. They can get a little busy at times and slow, but never egregious. Everyone is quite friendly when you ask questions and looking for some recommendations. Cost - 4.25* Always subjective, for me, I find their pricing pretty good for an above average pint and burger. If I were to knock it a little, I think some of the larger brewers "easy drinking" lighter beers could carry a slightly less cost, or maybe run more "specials" to sell at volume with thinner margin. Just a suggestion. Overall, I've never been turned off by any of the pricing. It's definitely refreshing to support local brewers and a local bar more than going to some of the more corporate establishments that sit nearby. Overall - 4.5* Whether you live nearby or need a good meetup location for family and friends around the city, this is a spot I'd recommend to anyone seeking a laid back family atmosphere.

The counter service keeps things moving while the food speaks for itself. The brisket was exactly what you'd hope for: a pronounced bark, a rendered fat cap, and slices that held together until they were pulled apart. The surprise for me was the brisket taco. Instead of feeling like a gimmick, it showcased the meat in a different way, balancing smoke, richness, and fresh toppings without masking the brisket. Good barbecue restaurants know their sides matter just as much as the meat. The mac and cheese was creamy, the sausage had a satisfying snap, and the house barbecue sauce complemented rather than covered the smoke. If you're visiting Houston, this is the kind of place that reminds you why Texas barbecue has earned its reputation.

I was grossed out by the amount of blood under the skin. (I KNOW it's an animal with blood but I've never had bbq with that amount of blood on the meat) but I'm not penalizing them for it. Def 7/10! Brisket: Super tender, melted in the mouth, great taste. 8/10 Green beans: Not greasy, tender (not mushy or undercooked). I think they may have spilled the seasoning into the batch they main because holy moly, a TON of pepper and salt. I'm heavy handed with my seasonings but that amount didn't seem intentional. I'd never thought I'd say this but the flavor would've been great with less seasoning. 5/10 Mac&cheese: Nothing special but definitely better than most bbq spots. I enjoy the texture and light flavor 7/10 Elote: Yummy but where's the beloved cilantro?! 8/10 Cornbread: Great flavor, not dry, and had jalapeno peppers in it! Super yummy 9/10.
