    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

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

    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

    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!

    Beef Kooksoo

    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)

Before the main event, we got the seafood & green onion pancake. Crispy on the outside and reasonably chewy interior. Good amount of seafood; in particular, the oyster stood out. It was also a nice portion that was ideal for sharing. I opted for the seafood soondubu. Everything, from the banchan to the specific side dishes served with the soondubu, came out not too long after ordering. I got it at spice level three which I thought offered the right amount of kick without being too overwhelming (I also like to think I have a pretty strong spice tolerance). It had a good variety of seafood; namely, the shrimp and oyster. I'm not the biggest fan of clams but they were definitely still tasty. The tofu was soft and silky. The yellow croaker and rice were great supplements to the dish. The rice perfectly absorbed the broth. The croaker added a nice crunchy break from everything. The banchan was pretty standard in my opinion - still, a great complement to the soondubu. Last but not least - service was attentive and quick. I will definitely be coming back at some point!

The restaurant had plenty of space, but service was still super fast and efficient anyway, which I loved. What I love about Chodang is that the food is stellar and such good PORTIONS. Knowing this, I still opted to order a Combo Special because the thought of having leftovers for the next day sounded great to me. I ordered the Kimchi Tofu Soup with Beef Bulgogi, and it was delicious. I usually order my soups at the Spicy level, which I would say has a kick and flavor but never leaves me panting for air or water. As someone who likes spice, I wouldn't say it's very spicy, but definitely flavorful. Beef Bulgogi is one of my favorite dishes, and this place's version does not disappoint. The meat is tender and has a good balance of sweet and salty. My friends also ordered Combo Specials with a Tofu soup and the Korean bbq ribs, and Spicy Pork Bulgogi. One of these friends opted for the medium spice level, which I would say is a safe choice for everyone, especially if you're worried about something being too spicy. All soups come with Korean side dishes, a whole grilled yellow croaker fish (delicious but lots of bones), and a hot stone bowl of rice. Nothing missed!
