    New noodle soup spot in Carrollton! Super easygoing, order-at-counter. Their menu wasn't fully ready, only had noodle options because I think they recently opened. The portion is massive, I had to pack almost half the bowl to take home. Really appreciated the side dishes, kimchi was solid. Overall it is a solid spot that will probably join the rotation.

It actually was very light considering it was all pork. Their side dishes were so refreshing and tasty, specifically their cucumber one. The staff was so patient with us and they were so nice that they even gave us one of their BTS member poster when my aunt asked for it half jokingly. Overall, the ambience was nice, not too loud, the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was good. Will come back to try the rest of their menu. 10/10 would recommend

All of the meats we tried were really good quality, but the Jeju black pork (the "Wagyu" of pork) was definitely the standout for me! I'm also a huge banchan person, and the banchan here did not disappoint! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the soups were really good too. Another plus is that they cook the meat for you, so you can actually sit back, enjoy your meal, and talk instead of constantly keeping an eye on the grill. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and can feel pretty crowded, especially when it's busy. Table space is also limited, and the stool seating is not exactly great for back support lol. Combined with the long wait, I probably wouldn't come here if I was in a rush or looking for a super comfortable, leisurely dinner, but rather for special occasions! I'd definitely come back but just be prepared for a potentially long wait!

    What a joy to find this place…read more The soup portion was HUGE. I got a spicy beef soup with mushrooms and zucchini and it was amazing. The kimchi was so good that I got a second serving.

The noodles had great texture, the broth was rich without being overly salty, and the side dishes were fresh and plentiful. Service was straightforward and efficient--not overly chatty, but they got the job done and kept things moving smoothly. You won't feel ignored, but you also won't be on a first-name basis with your server by the end of the night. Ambiance is simple and casual. It's not trying to be fancy--it's more of a laid-back, everyday kind of place where the focus is clearly on the food. If you're looking for a trendy vibe, this isn't it. But if you just want solid Korean comfort food, it delivers. Overall: great for when you're craving noodles and want an honest, satisfying meal without the frills.

    MIND BLOWN!!!!!! LITERALLY, THE BEST Korean fried chicken I've ever had in my life! The freshness,…read morequality, flavor, and service were all 10 out of 10!! The owner was there and while initially I thought the service was a bit slow, the owner was the one that really turned our experience around. The food definitely was already giving five star vibes! Located about ten minutes north of Carrollton Korea town, nestled in a smaller plaza, is this amazing Korean fried chicken! Normally, I am not the biggest fan of the saucy marinated chicken but I tried the sweet Korean and the honey garlic and both were amazing! Crispy and crunchy on the outside, moist chicken on the inside and came out piping fresh! We also ordered their original boneless with a refreshing green onion salad that compliments the boneless chicken so well!!! All washed down with an ice cold TERRA! We also ordered Seoddok seoddok Which is a crispy chewy rice cake and Korean sausage on a stick drizzled with a sweet and spicy sticky sauce! 10/10 as well. Whether you're visiting or a local, this place is a MUST TRY! There is a common practice in Korean culture in their restaurants and retail Shops that's called "service," which basically equates to "on the house" in American culture. The owner gave us two types of shaved ice on the house and it was the perfect and refreshing dessert to end and round our whole experience!!! PSA: first you pick the type chicken - boneless, wings, or the whole chicken cut into pieces. Then, you pick your batter: golden crispy batter, fried batter, or yorienn batter. I recommend the classic KFC style FRIED BATTER! Lastly, pick your sauce! I still dream of this chicken place and it's only been a week since we tried it. I already want to go back and my mouth literally drools thinking about it!

    I ate here last night and the food was really yummy! My personal favorites were the rose tteokbokki…read moreand soy garlic chicken. Everything was delicious! One thing I do want to mention for future reference: our waitress gave us a free shaved ice, which was a really sweet gesture, but she didn't tell us what was in it. It turned out to contain pineapple, which I'm severely allergic to. I definitely recommend letting customers know the ingredients in complimentary food or drinks, especially since you never know what allergies someone may have. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our meal!

When I tell you this was some of the best Korean food I've had in a long time...it's the next day and I'm still thinking about it. The creamy udon was a 10 out of 10 (crazy good) the Korean fried chicken was another solid 10. Not pictured is the Bossam (pork dish) and also a 10/10. Service was quick and they were very nice.

The peppers pair perfecty with the chicken and sauce and they add a nice texture. 2. Dumplings - the spice in the sauce sneaks up on you but its so good and creamy. Love how these are fried and the noodles inside. 3. Daq gu ee - comes on a hot plate and its definitely buttery and the veggies are cooked perfectly. Chicken was so juicy!!!!!!!!!! 4. Soy garlic wings - these were my least favorite but thats because I dont really like chicken wings, they were more for my boyfriend. Leans on the crunchy side. The ban chan was so good, their cucumbers are sliced not too thick and not too thin. Busssssss
