This restaurant is relatively new and I was craving kalguksu so I decided to give this place a try. When I entered, I was greeted by the owner. There is a kiosk to order and you also seat yourself. We came for brunch on a Sunday and it wasn't too packed. Their menu is pretty simple and straightforward. We tried the king ribs jjamppong with Kalbi and bulgogi. I ordered the noodle combo to share with my friend. If you check in at the restaurant, you also get an order of bulgogi. Overall, the food was delicious, I wish the jjamppong broth was a little stronger in flavor. I liked the noodles and the meats though. One last comment is, they do not need to have Mikey Chen's photos outside their restaurant. Apparently, he visited this restaurant and said it is a "must-try." read more

Initially we ordered online for delivery as we heard the spicy soup is good here and true enough, we enjoyed every sip we had. And because we enjoyed our UberEATS delivery, we decided to pay a visit and enjoy the king ribs jjamppong with seafood one fresh and spicy. We ordered the chicken noodle soup together with king ribs. They're cooked to perfection. The best I ever had. The ribs are so tender and falling off the bones. Seafood are yummy and the spicy soup is the best. We couldn't stop eating. My 1.5 year old toddler enjoyed the chicken noodle as well. It wasn't spicy so it was just perfect for him. You will need to try the kimchi together with it as it's freshly made there. My husband said, you can spot the difference from fresh and not in that kimchi. He mentioned, it was the best kimchi he ever had It's really worth our drive. I would highly recommend this place. We will surely keep coming back. read more

I was pretty excited to try this place out based on the reviews and pics. But I was a little disappointed. The place was quite cozy and it's all self-service. I worried about being able to carry pretty heavy plates of hot stuff but I managed... the food was alright. It was way too sweet for me, the soup and the mixed noodle, way too much sugar. Maybe it fits other people's tastebuds.. read more

I'm pretty introverted, so the less human interaction I have, the better! You walk in, order from a screen and when you order is ready, your order number pops up on the little number counter by the kitchen. They have so many combos and the portions are huge. Everything was tasty and they had bowls, silverware and to go containers for people to grab on their own. It's pretty small, so I can't imagine how it would look packed! read more

One of my favorite Korean restaurant at the moment! Very concise menu with few noodle items and couple options for rice dish. I think I've tried most of them! Chicken noodle soup is good for everyone as it warms your body on a cold day. If you order it spicy, your soup will be red. King ribs jjamppong was delicious. The rib was fall-off-the-bone tender, and it worked really well with spicy jjamppong soup. Stir-fried beef with noodles is my top pick since I like stir fried stuff lol. We also usually order bulgogi dish for our kiddos. Writing this review makes me so hungry for some kooksoo! We will be there soon. read more

Another restaurant that opened up in Carrollton from Plano and saves me 15 minutes of driving home! Hey, 15 minutes is a lot when you live damn near in Crowley. Kooksoo is hidden off of Hebron on the other side of the overpass passing Oh Mart. We've ate at the original once and always wanted to go again for awhile now. Then they open a location in Carrollton. YAY. Since I've had the bulgogi, the spicy chicken soup, and the king rib jjamppong at the other location, I wanted to try something different. I got stir fried beef noodles. I really liked it, but the Parmesan I can do without. I think the parm overpowered the rest of the dish. I am not a big fan of parm anyway. The dish was good, just will skip on the parm next time. Husband got the beef kooksoo and that was delicious as to be expected. I can't wait to eat here again. read more

I can't believe I'm just now finding out about this place! Restaurant is small and self-service style (you place your order on the kiosk, pick up your food, and return the tray. Same system as Paik's). I came by tonight and tried their king rib jjampong (signature dish). Honestly, I hadn't looked at too many pictures before coming here so I wasn't sure what to expect. I gotta say I've never seen better looking jjampong in my life. Presentation is a 10/10. Not too spicy (you can customize the spice level) and they're very generous with the seafood. The meat on the ribs fell right off the bone and it was super flavorful. Loved their side of kimchi too. I'm definitely coming back here within the next week to try out their other dishes! This place just earned themselves a new regular :) read more

I'm so glad Kooksoo made it to Carrollton. The kimchi is so on point that I want to say that you come for the noodles, but you stay for the kimchi. The pepper powder melds just so finely with the fish sauce and sweetness of the napa cabbage. Peppery then salty the sweet, then peppery at the end. I had the spicy chicken noodles and the anchovy broth was subtle but not weak. You know it's anchovy but it's not overpowering. And the noodles were bouncy and satisfying. If I had to dock a point, it's the onion by--I wondered if it had been sautéed a bit to soften up, it would have added a better texture, as otherwise I found it a bit chewy. A lot has changed over the last few years and many places have closed or changed hands. I don't know what applies to Kooksoo, but they are doing it right. Thanks guys! read more

One of my husband's and my favorite spots for noodles! We've been wanting to try their first location and were happy to see they opened a second location closer to us! Interior: We found the interior to be cute and clean. We also appreciated the soothing music and that we didn't have to try to talk over it. We've tried: -King ribs Jjampong with seafood. My husband isn't normally a soup person but he inhaled the spicy soup! The broth was harmonious and gentle in flavor while it had all the flavors it needed. The noodles were fresh and chewy. The seafood was also fresh! The giant rib was my husband's favorite part. The meat came right off the bone and was soft and delicious. -Sir Fried Beef over rice. The beef seemed a little bit of a fusion with the parmesan topping. We've never thought to top Korean beef with parmesan, but it was surprisingly delicious. -Bibim Koosoo. This spicy noodle dish is one I normally love and Kooksoo does it right. The noodles were fresh, soft, and chewy. The sauce was perfection. The owner was so kind and the service is sweet and quick (the way we like it). 10/10 recommend. We will be coming back with friends :) - read more

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!

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.

The Seolleongtang here is not just good -- it's genuinely outstanding, with a deep, milky broth and…read moretender slices of beef that make the whole bowl incredibly satisfying. I'd strongly recommend it to anyone looking for comforting, well‑executed Korean soup.

Overall: 4.2/5 [dine in]…read more They served three banchans and their kimchi was really good, though I didn't care for the green onion one. Each soup came with a bowl of fresh white rice and a dipping sauce for the meat. The soup bowl looked a bit small at first but I was comfortably full by the end of the meal. Just a heads up that the soups come unseasoned so there's salt on the table for you to season to your liking. #3 Seok Uh Sulung Tang ($17.99): Ox bone soup with mixed meat and thin white noodles. I loved the variety so this was perfect for me. The soup tasted a lot better with 2 spoons of salt. I also added some black pepper and green onions to round it out even more. #9 Won Gi Tang ($23.99): Came with beef baby back rib, ox knee, beef brisket, and green onions. The broth had a slight green onion flavor but was otherwise similar to the other soup. My only gripe was that the rib meat wasn't very tender so it was hard to eat off the bone. Solid spot and a great choice for a recovery 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. Can't wait to come back.

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

We came in just as they opened. Really enjoyed their fried chicken wings. Delicious!!!

It's a super fun and unique concept you can't find anywhere else in Carrollton. Regarding the food itself, the food is delicious and filling! Sometimes with drinking food, you can't help but wonder if it's worth the price tag, but there's more than just fried foods. We highly recommend the following dishes: -Brisket tteok -Spicy pork -Fried gizzards For drinks, we discovered Hallassan soju and ordered one of each flavor offered: pineapple, lychee, yogurt, and peach. All are delicious and go down great! I don't think I've seen Hallassan be sold anywhere else, but highly recommend coming here to try it! One cool thing about Chi Chi is you get a coin for each alcohol purchase, which is valued at $1. You can use your coins on food items or you can save them up and use them the next time you go to Chi Chi! Shoutout to Mitch who was our server this evening. He was extremely friendly and attentive!

Being a fan of this place, I should talk about my shortcomings first and then about my strengths. The downside is that it's not wide. I don't think it'll be easy to bring all my friends. I think we can seat 15 to 16 people, but it might be difficult for a group to use it at once because there are many customers. I asked if I could make a reservation, but they said they are sorry and don't accept reservations. (I guess they don't accept reservations because there are a lot of people visiting.) Now, to tell you a few advantages, you can order directly from the kiosk here. And there's no tip! Of course, you have to pick up the food yourself and put the dishes back together, but that's not a problem. And the food tastes great, of course. It's a lot and the taste of the soup is amazing. My friend ate the representative menu, beef kooksoo, and I had king rib jjamppong, but I had no choice but to be a fan of this place. I will definitely visit again next time. read more

Stumbled upon this tiny, no-frills Korean spot, and it's an absolute hidden gem. The place is modest--self-order, self-serve, and you even clean up after yourself--but that's part of its charm. Don't expect anything fancy here; the focus is entirely on the food. And speaking of the food, it's freshly made to order, so you might have to wait a bit. But trust me, the wait is totally worth it. Each dish arrives piping hot, bursting with authentic flavors that are nothing short of exhilarating. If you're up for genuine Korean cuisine without any pretentiousness, this is the spot to hit. Can't wait to swing by again and dive deeper into their menu! read more

This store is the same as kooksoo in Plano. The great experience I had at the first kooksoo restaurant, which I stopped by at the invitation of a friend, was the same here. What's different here is the unmanned ordering system with a kiosk in the hall. You also have to bring your own food and eat it. Instead, there is no tip. This time, I ate beef kooksoo, the best seller, and I think I understand why it is the best seller. I'll definitely come next time. read more

It's not that big inside, so there might not be enough seating for two families to eat together. We visited during lunch time on a weekend and there were so many customers in the hall that we had no choice but to wait. The unmanned kiosk ordering system is good, but it takes a while to order, but the food and service were really good, so the whole family was satisfied with the meal. I recommend going to avoid peak times. read more

Although the space is not that big, it seems like it would be enough for a family to come and have a meal. The hall is run as an unmanned store (orders are placed directly through a kiosk and food is served directly), and I was really satisfied with the restaurant's signature dishes, Jangkalguksu and kimchi. I ordered chicken kalguksu for my daughter who can't eat spicy food, and she ate it very well~~ read more

Here, you place your order directly at the kiosk, and then bring, eat, and return the food using your order number. Although it may be a bit inconvenient, there are also advantages to not tipping. The food tastes great. It deserves to be on my top list of favorite Korean restaurants. We will come back here again. Beef Kooksoo Noodles Chicken Noodle Soup King Ribs Jjamppong read more

The best Korean noodles. I've been looking for good Korean food all over dallas, and this is the only bowl I've ever had that I ate all of without leaving. I had the beef stir-fried noodles and the combination of meat and noodles was great. My friend had the beef stir-fried rice and it went really well with the rice, it was very satisfying. read more

It is similar to a food court with an unmanned ordering system, no tips, and customers have to bring their own food, but it is by no means the typical taste of a regular food court. The whole family had a full and delicious meal in a clean and luxurious atmosphere. read more

We ordered seafood pancake (it was tasty and crispy but is fell apart trying to put it on the plate), seafood and tofu soup (tofu was nice and fluffy and the soup was just the right spice level) and bulgogi hotpot (it was a nice variety of vegetables with noodle and bulgogi meat, a good treat for a cool evening, this dish was on the sweet side and a really good option for those that don't like spicy). The establishment can be family friendly and fun with friends.
