    beef kooksoo
    Maddie V.

    I finally returned to try the beef kooksoo and it was just as yummy as I was expecting! We split a large bowl which was plenty for two people. The noodles are so bouncy and are some of my favorite noodles I've tried in DFW, and the broth is so rich and comforting. The kimchi is also really good, I wish I could buy it in bulk to take home. Kooksoo is definitely one of the best soup spots around, and I'm gonna make it my goal to eat here more regularly.

    Overprice,beef stir fried noodle was good,but King Rib Seafood soup noodle was just okey,combo balbi was too fat not really good. Kinda disappointed.

    After a short hibernation due to the ice storm, this place hit spot! The place is relatively small but clean and cozy. Order food using kiosk, self serve water and ice available. Food portion is HUGE! Bring your appetite. Everything was delicious and plenty for leftovers for lunch next day. Ordered Seafood Jjampong but sadly no lobster but owner replaced with a giant portion of meat and even give back a small refund back for the replacement. Please come and support!

    Wow, comfort Korean noodles that will keep you thinking about this for days! Heads up, nice clean modern restaurant, but you order at the kiosk, get your food at the counter when your number is called. Get your own water and utensils. I don't remember if we had to bus our own table. What we ordered: Signature beef bone soup: beef bone was big and tender. We requested for not so spicy soup. Noodles were so soft and chewy. Family loved this flavor. Kooksoo noodle soup: soooo yum! Soup was flavorful with just a tiny kick. Excellent balance of flavors. And the middles were so chewy and soft. Beef rice: flavorful beef (maybe blackbean flavor) and garlic. Again, very balanced. So good with rice. We finished everything then remembered Mike Chen had the stir fry noodle. We weren't hungry anymore but wanted to try it...so we did. Swoon, so so good! Stir fry noodle: a saucy stir fry noodle. Similar to the kooksoo noodle, but not soupy. This was my favorite. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in the area.

    Jjampong
    Wayne N.

    I love jjampong. There is nothing quite as comforting as a big bowl of spicy seafood noodle soup but Kooksoo puts on a masterclass in all of it's dishes. One of the best restaurants I've been to in Dallas. I also love the interior design. It's cozy and the tables are a bit tight but the modern aesthetic is bright and inviting. Ordering is self serve at the kiosk but if you need anything (like checking in on yelp for free bulgogi), just ring the bell and someone will come chat. And speaking of that bulgogi, as amazingly charred, sweet and delicious as it is, it's a footnote compared to the king rib jjampong. Massive bowl of complex seafoody broth, filled with elastic, chewy, house made fresh noodles. Some zucchini and bean sprouts for vegetables, lots of mussels and shrimp, topped off with a rack of fall off the bone tender beef ribs. Go grab some scissors to cut it up and go to town. Spice level is not overwhelming, just the right amount to cut through the heft of all the food, but you can also adjust it up or down when you order. The kimchi is very good too. All in all, definitely coming back whenever I'm in town, whether it's chilly in the winter or 100 degrees in the summer.

    The meat and noodles are TOP NOTCH AMAZING. The meat falls right off super juicy and tender. The noodles are also super chewy. We went when it was self order and seating, self-service. The food here is splendid, would definitely come again. Super quiet here ambiance wise. We were the only customers during weekday dinner time

    We were originally called to this place for the lobster jjamppong but I made a last minute pivot to get the beef rib jjamppong instead. Now, I have an excuse to go back! I ordered the beef rib jjamppong combo with LA galbi and my friend got the beef belly stir fry with noodles and LA galbi combo. They were sweet enough to give us a kids meal on the house for my toddler. The jjamppong was super flavorful with plenty of mussels and shrimp. Loved the sprouts on top, I love my veggies in my jjamppong. Not traditional flavors but still delicious and the noodles did not disappoint. I tried some of the stir fried beef noodle dish and it wasn't like anything I've had before but it was quite tasty! Everything is self serve, you order at the kiosk, get your drinks and utensils and your number is called when your order is ready. Service was quick and the atmosphere was clean, simple and inviting. Will definitely be back to try the lobster!

    I got this baby to go, and it was still amazing when I finally was able to eat it.

    We ordered delivery for two of the king rib soups and it tasted like we ordered there in-person at the restaurant. The noodles were great and the broth was piping hot. I've had other seafood jjampong and this was definitely the best I've ever had. Other seafood soups always have a frozen seafood taste to it or is sometimes gritty tasting to me. Kooksoo's was clean and flavorful. And of course the star of the show, at least to me, were the ribs which were completely fall off the bone. While I find the price is really high for a bowl of noodles, it's definitely worth it every once a while.

    Love love love this place!! Been awhile since I was here and went for dinner tonight. It's still the quaint interior, but more self service now where you order at the kiosk up front and then go get your food when they call your number. Very efficient and still great quality food. Food is just amazing. Not the cheapest but great quality and good quantity. + Beef Bulgogi: not the thin meat but nice chunks and great flavor. Definitely surprised us by how good it was! + King Ribs Jjamppong: perfect and has a kick. Meat is so tender and you have a nice amount of shrimp and mussels in it too. Fresh ingredients and my favorite thing here. + LA galbi: good Don't sleep on this, come here now!!

    King Ribs Jjamppong

    Yea this place hits the spot. The short rib jjambbong with hand cut noodles is amazing. Not traditional Jjambbong but amazing nonetheless. Service was great, establishment was clean and bright. Highly recommend!

    Korean BBQ Bulgogi
    Jorena L.

    Tucked away from the main Ktown area, this place is a hidden gem! The inside is small but cute. Not too many options on the menu to be overwhelming. The king ribs jjampong is beautiful. The giant rib sticking out falls off the bone. The soup is full of flavor and filled with noodles and mussels. The only thing that would make it better would be more variety of seafood. Stir fried beef with noodles is also super tasty. The cheese adds a nice umami flavor. We got a complimentary Bulgogi bc we spent over $35 which was surprisingly really good! The portions are huge and each dish can easily be split between two. I will definitely be back!

    Was chilled to the bone after being out all day in the cold. This location is smaller than the original but same style. The staff is much more polite and friendly. And the food is delicious!! I got beef Kooksoo this time but I also highly recommend the king ribs jjamppong. If you want to share I recommend getting extra noodles (+$2)

    Good food here. I enjoyed my noodle soup. Small place and clean. It is self serve and ordering.

Incredibly high quality cuts of beef, slow simmered potatoes, chewy/fresh rice cakes, and fresh delicious vegetables and green onions. The brown gravy/sauce was delicious.

Even though it was busy, people ate in silence and enjoyed their food. They keep it ice box cold, so definitely bring a layer if you get chilly! It was under $90 for the Galbi Jjim, which is actually a smoking deal. I can't wait to go back.

We also ordered sollangtang and both spicy and non spicy cold noodles. Boy there is something for everyone on the menu. There is even combinations which we will have to try next time. A bit of a wait for the food but totally worth it. We love that the utensils are in a box on the table and pitcher of water and cups are brought to the table. The food is amazing. Just beware, the hot stone items (bibimbap, sollontang) stay piping hot for a LONG time :) be ready to have a big block of time to have a meal here.

    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!

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!
