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! read more

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. read more

K Tang - Menu - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 read more

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 read more

K Tang - Entrance of the place - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

K-Tang is a Korean restaurant located in Spring Branch right across the Hmart on Blalock. Sometimes when I make a grocery stop at Hmart, I will swing by and grab a quick meal. I have gone to K-Tang quite a few times and have tried a variety of their dishes. My favorite is their specialty spicy cold noodle dishes. I absolutely love the spicy cold noodles with sea squirt, cuttlefish, or salmon. I have tried each variety and like them all equally, and I choose the protein depending on my mood. Asides from their cold noodles, I also have had their spicy chicken dakgalbi, which is very spicy They have a variety of side dishes; some change but some stay the same. The kimchi, fish cakes, and spicy, pickled radish are always present, and the other half changes up. Staff is friendly, and service is fast. There is also plenty of parking. Definitely one of my go-tos for cold noodles in town! read more

Legit good food. Not sure why it took me so long to try this place. Maybe because it's not a "pocha" or as hyped up by influencers as the other spots, but I regret it because the food are amazing. I'm so thrilled to have a place that sells soy marinated salmon, shrimp, and crab, AND close at 2am. Perfect bar vibes when you just want to sit and chill with friends without the typical greasy bar food. I am a huge fan of raw marinated stuff and these were bomb. A tad salty so maybe better with rice. I'm really appreciative of the fact that they're one of the few restaurants that serve these dishes in Houston without charging an arm and leg for it. Sushi was also on point - fresh and generous portions. My friend ordered the bulgogi which I typically do not like (too sweet, too American) but these were the best bulgogi I've had in a while. The beef sliced were thick with a nice crunch, and not too sweet. Banchans could use some work, like the other reviews mention. However, one thing about this place: they know how to make their food. read more

K Tang Spicy Cold Noodles has been all over my feed and I couldn't resist giving a try over the weekend. The Spicy Cold Noodles was indeed full of flavor and undeniably eye catching with its vibrant colors. While tasty, I felt like it was missing a bit of substance and the lettuce as filler was excessive for me. I also tried Kimchi Fried Rice, LA Galbi, and Seafood Pancake. While the hot food items tasted fine, they just felt a little underwhelming and didn't quite live up to the standard set by other restaurants on Long Point. However, the service was excellent throughout the meal, staff frequently checked in for banchan and water refills. Despite the misses, the Spicy Cold Noodles was obviously the standout and my experience was still enjoyable. read more

The food quality here is so high. You can tell they actually care about the quality of the ingredients and food here, and you can hear the ahjummas in the back cooking it up and taking orders. The seafood pancake was the best I've had in Houston. Big pieces of squid in there, and their spicy sauce added a lot of great flavor over just regular soy sauce (which our server was happy to pack up separately for us). The cuttlefish naengmyeon was a unique item, haven't seen these types of naengmyeon at other restaurants. It was definitely aesthetic and the fish was good, but it was too tomato-y with no other flavors for my taste (and I usually enjoy tomatoes), still pretty good though and the portion size was huge. The yukhoe bibimbap was soo delicious and came with free miso soup! We will definitely be back to try the rest of their menu and get more seafood pancakes read more

Came around 11:30am on a Saturday, and it wasn't busy it all but it quickly filled up after that. I ordered the spicy cold noodle with salmon. To me, it was more sweet and not spicy at all. The noodles were super chewy, which weren't my favorite, and the salmon cubes were quite cold, which I also didn't love. I would rate a 3, but I'm quite positive that cold noodles just aren't for me (this was my first time ever trying cold noodles), so I don't want to fault them for just a mistake in ordering on my part. The banchan was yummy and service was very kind too! read more

K Tang - Spicy cold noodle salmon - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

I returned to K Tang after my first visit, which was just over a month ago. This time, I decided to order the yukhoe (Korean beef tartare) bibim naengmyeon. Everyone, you must try this! It is absolutely delicious. This may very well be my favorite item on the menu. The yukhoe is magnificent. It's fresh and tender and pairs perfectly with the chewy cold noodles. The bibim naengmyeon comes with a sauce that you pour over the noodles and mix in. The sauce ties everything together and really enhances the flavor of the dish overall. The radish and pear slices are super refreshing and add a nice touch to the whole dish. The restaurant has a casual and cozy vibe, making it the perfect spot for both families and friends. Despite being busy, the service was excellent. Considering it's been a couple of days since my visit and I'm still thinking about the yukhoe bibim naengmyeon, I know I'll be back! read more

I've been craving cold noodles and had to come try K-Tang. The snapper and salmon were super fresh. The broth had a subtle kick which I enjoyed. The seafood stew had no shortage of silky tofu which we loved. The broth for the galbi-tang was rich without being too heavy. The food came out quickly. Just wish we were checked on more. We didn't get a water refill until we were done eating--after flagging someone down. Otherwise, the food was amazing! Will be returning to try more on the menu read more

Plenty of parking spaces available even on a weekend during lunch time. There was a short wait under 15minutes. It is a medium size restaurant with quick friendly services. We came here for their ice cold noodles. On a hot summer day, it is simply the best. Both the spicy cold noodles with cuttlefish and salmon came with a pile of toppings. The noodle was perfectly cooked and the cold soup was deliciously full of flavors with the perfect hint of spiciness. It is not the burning type of spice so don't be afraid to try it. And don't feel ashamed to drink the whole soup. I personally liked the chewy cuttlefish better than the salmon. Maybe because salmon is normally pretty unusual for moolhoe (물회), the fishy salmon flavor didn't feel like it mixed well with the spicy/salty cold soup. You will never go wrong with cuttlefish for this dish. read more

My friend and I came here on a Friday night around 8:00 PM. Even though it was busy, we were seated right away, which was a pleasant surprise. First off, I was delighted to see they served quail eggs as part of the banchan! And as everyone else has mentioned, the kimchi was delicious. Here's what we ordered: Cuttlefish Cold Noodle (4/5) The noodles were perfectly chewy and bouncy, and I loved how the dish had plenty of veggies and didn't skimp on the cuttlefish. I'm not sure how I felt about the ice- it's great for keeping the dish cool, but I'd probably ask for less next time. Honey Spicy Wings (3/5) These were more sweet and tangy/sour than sweet and spicy. They weren't crispy either. Not a bad dish, but definitely one you can respectfully skip. LA Galbi (3.5/5) The marinade was spot-on, but unfortunately, several pieces were overcooked and ended up dry. For $27, I expected better. The vibe in the restaurant was lively, with K-pop playing in the background and ajummas checking in on you and the food (which I appreciated!). FYI: you pay at the front after your meal :) And a cute little touch- after I paid, one of the ajummas handed my friend and me a pack of trail mix, which was super sweet! Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would love to come back to try their salmon cold noodles and explore more of the menu. (My friend said the soy shrimp is fantastic!) read more

K Tang - Salmon cold noodles - Korean Near Me - Houston, Texas

All of the pictures of this place looked so good, I had to stop by and give it a shot. It's cozy and inviting inside with Kpop playing softly in the background. The service okay and we enjoyed our food. My favorite part was the banchan, their kimchi is unlike any I've tried before and I'm honestly a fan. The fish cake was delicious, the seaweed had a slight tanginess to it which I really liked, and the Mac salad was a little sweet for my preference, but still pretty good nonetheless. Here is what I ordered: - spicy cold noodles with cuttlefish and salmon (3/5) Honestly feel like this dish is more gimmicky and looks better than it tastes. They add a lot of crushed ice which then melts and you're left with a sauce that's watered down and pretty bland. It's cool to try once but would I get it again? Probably not. I would ask for less ice or more sauce if you can. - eel hot plate 3.5/5 This dish was delicious the slightly crispy rice paired very well with the soft and sweet eel. My only complaint is that the portion was small and it looked like it was missing a few components when comparing what we got vs what was pictured on the menu read more

Had an outstanding time here. The restaurant is cute and cozy, but the standout is the food and service. We had the haemulpaejon to start with and I will say it's one of the better ones we have had in Houston. We would come back for this alone. But great news, it won't be only for this...we also had the bibimbap and yukgaejang and both were excellent. We are absolutely coming back to try more dishes. The manager and owner (or maybe they are both owners, not sure) both came by to check on us, let us know about other weekly specials they run, and to chat about how we found out about them. They were all welcomes and smiles. Update July 25: wife had a chance to try the cold cuttlefish noodles and it was sublime. They've updated their menu since we were there two weeks ago, pics added. read more

One of the more interesting Korean restaurants I went to this past month was K Tang. They serve a dish that they're famous for called cold noodles that you could add various types of seafood to that served like a ceviche over noodles with some type of liquid that I cannot properly describe because I don't know the seasonings. It also has crushed ice Incorporated into this salad, if you will, to keep the dish cold while eating. Very interesting! I don't know if I will order it again but I did enjoy the experience and there are so many other items that I prefer like they're their array of Ban Chan which included pickled quail eggs among other outstanding items. My favorite dish so far is their pork served in a bao. Very flavorful. Nice clean interior with some of the fastest service in town as the waitress literally runs from table to table ensuring you have what you need. Nice owners who are always welcoming and say hi as they come to check on you at your table to ensure you're satisfied. I'll be back to try other items soon. read more

I had been seeing the salmon cold noodles all over my feed for weeks and finally got the chance to try it!! To be honest, it wasn't outstanding. It was good, but also it's not worth $25. Overall a refreshing dish. The noodles were chewy. There was too much ice though. The brisket ramen was yummy! The brisket itself was a bit on the tougher side, but the soup was flavorful and hearty. Service was great. read more

Came to try the salmon naengmyeon and it did not disappoint. Probably the best naengmyeon in Houston in my opinion. The broth is the perfect amount of sour and you don't need to embellish it at all. I also tried a few of their other menu items, but the naengmyeon is the best item for sure. I tried the seollongtang which is alright, the beef is a little tough and the broth tastes heavily of beef which is not great to me. I also tried their fried chicken which was pretty good as well. The chicken was lightly battered but still crispy and the meat was tender. I also love all the banchan they serve here. It's different every time, but all the banchan is delicious. read more

Overall very good experience of authentic Korean cuisine. I believe they specialize in the raw marinated items but we unfortunately did not order those. We decided on the cold spicy salmon noodles which were my personal favorite. The broth was very refreshing with a just right level of spicy allowing for the noodles to stand out. We also got their spicy beef/seafood noodle soup which was also a great option for the rainy weather. Not pictured, but we also got the LA galbi which was also a great choice with very tender meat but I would prefer it to be a little bit more crisped up but that's just a personal preference. Their side dishes were also very good. We will be back ! read more

I've been here twice for lunch. First time I got the spicy stir fried squid. We got the egg omelet and kimchi pancake as appetizer to share. Spicy Stir Fried Squid - spicy, flavorful, that smoky skillet flavor adds to the experience, very good portion for the price Egg Omelet - standard egg omelet - you can't mess it up Kimchi Pancake - the flavor was good, but the pancake was very doughy, not as crispy as I usually like for it to be My coworker like the spicy cold noodles and he said it didn't meet his standards but was good enough to satisfy his craving. The workers were nice but I could tell they're a tad shy and very soft spoken.

A new Korean restaurant in Spring Branch! They seem to specialize in a lot of soupy dishes. I ordered the seolleongtang while my friends tried the soondubu and galbitang. I thought the seolleongtang was alright. The broth wasn't as rich and milky as I'd prefer it to be. My one friend really enjoyed the seafood forward flavors of her soondubu while my other friend thought the galbitang was also a bit underwhelming. The side dishes were pretty solid though. I quite liked the kimchi and seaweed! I think I need to come back and try one of their spicier dishes... read more

Good to try, personally wouldn't return! Food: Raw Soy Sauce Seafood (4/5) When eating raw seafood, one of many people's concerns is contamination, and unfortunately it was very obvious they gave us crab crushers that were previously used/dirty (picture attached). They corrected the issue right away and brought us a new set of crab crushers. Thankfully I picked them up and saw pieces of old crab and shell right away. We still tried all of the raw seafood and it was very good, not the best that I have had, but the raw soy shrimp definitely stood out. The Kimchi Stew (4/5) Not particularly amazing but still good! Sweet and Spicy Korean Fried Chicken (2/5) The chicken was in frozen bags in the freezer by the front door, we noticed while we were walking out. The sauce was pretty sweet with a little spice. The drumstick tasted crunchy on first bite which was great but the quality of the chicken was tough and chewy. Service (3/5) Service was fine, nothing too stand out. They quickly got me new crab crushers when I told them they were dirty but again nothing stand out. Atmosphere (4/5) The atmosphere was typical of any Korean restaurant in Houston. Overall, it was a fine experience. While the crabs and sweet shrimp were delicious, the dirty crab crushers were a pretty big red flag for me. read more
