We are visiting Dallas and chose this as our final meal. The marinated short rib was perfectly marinated and the quality was superb! Virgil was our server and cooked the meat for us. He was such a kind hearted man with excellent customer service. We recommend getting a small side of the cold noodle soup! The broth was so flavorful and paired well with the meat. All of the side dishes were delicious and as a fellow Korean with lots of experience eating Korean BBQ this was delicious! Will come back! read more

Koryo Kalbi Korean BBQ has always been one of my favorite Korean BBQ restaurants in Dallas. A remodel and menu update even landed them in D Magazine's Best issue. But while this is a very prestigious endorsement, my past visit wasn't up to previous visits. My Overall Rating - 3 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - There are several tables with built in grills and private rooms, and we didn't use our grill, but I was a bit uncomfortable in the restaurant. It was really hot in the restaurant, and I'm not sure they turned down the A/C. Aside from that, the restaurant is nice and clean. You can also check the meat display case for the beef and pork cuts on display. 1/2 Star. Service - Our server was very nice. He brought out water and another server brought all the wonderful Korean sides. The service was superb and is a reason they would have landed in D Magazine's Best issue. 1 Star. Food - The menu has been updated, and prices have gone up (everywhere). But my main issue was the Kalbi wasn't very tender. In fact, I had to use my hands to pull the meat from the bone. Granted, I always use this technique when eating Kalbi, but this time it took more effort. The marinated, grilled beef still had a delicious, sweet Korean flavor, and the Seafood Pancake is a must order. Overall, though, I've had a better experience in my past visits. 1/2 Stars. Will I Return? - Yes. I've been going to Koryo for years. I hope their recognition in D Magazine wasn't a signal for them that they've made it and stopped trying. I'm pretty loyal and will come back, and I hope they improve. 1 Star. read more

Always great Kalhbi! NOW they have a LUNCH SPECIAL $17 so it is a great deal, less quantity of course but as long as they keep up the taste! Planning on returning again and again! read more

Very delicious! We got the koryo grill combo. Our food was very fresh, very delicious and the smokiness of the charcoal grill was amazing. I ordered a melon margarita and my friend ordered a chrysanthemum gimlet, both were absolutely fantastic. Bonchon was good and the meats were absolutely to die for. It's expensive so I wouldn't come often but i am so glad that i did get to try it out. read more

Took my friends here immediately after they landed at DFW. I'm usually a person who prefers to cook my own kbbq but since they weren't busy I let the waiter and was not disappointed. We got the Bekjae BBQ set which was a mix of pork and beef and split with three people (all girls) and it was plenty of food. Overall loved the vibe will come back when i'm craving KBBQ again. read more

Absolutely love this Korean BBQ place. I think it is the best in the city. Always good service too.

Stopped here for lunch today. This has just become our newest favorite Korean BbQ in the metroplex. Your table side bbq is cooked over charcoal giving the food a better taste. The meat was better than our previous favorite Korean bbq. We will definitely be back. read more

The food was very delicious and a great spot for Korean BBQ. Ate here with friends for a late lunch on a Saturday, and the place was full so it didn't disappoint. The service was excellent and friendly. And too loud to enjoy a good conversation while experiencing a great meal. The food is what'll bring me back. The galbi and the smoked pork belly were my favorites. The seafood pancake and kimchi rice were nice additions. read more

My verdict is the same as everyone else's. Great quality food with lots of side dishes /banchan. Decor was Ok, not too nice and not too fancy, not simple either. Price not cheap. Banchan included salad, cabbage kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fish cakes, blanched broccoli, in short normal banchan types. Although it was charcoal BBQ, not gas-powered BBQ, I still couldn't tell much difference or what is special about the charcoal BBQ. It's supposed to give a particular smokey smell to the BBQ, but again, I couldn't tell We ordered the combo beef, for 2-3 ppl. However, I felt for the price, it should have included more meat. Think it was $139 with 4 types of meat. This is one of the KBBQ place where they cook for us, we don't cook ourselves. At the end of the meal, they gave out free shikkye (sweet rice drink, which was very cinnamony). Place was very crowded. read more

I had a Korean beef tartare(육회) and a Chosun BBQ combo, which is a charcoal Korean bbq with three different types of beef. Both dishes were very authentic, especially the beef tartare with lots of sliced asian pear was sooooo fresh and juicy! ‍ Your server grills the bbq for you which is a big plus for me, but the beef was a bit chewy for my liking. The bbq combo comes with a lot of side dishes and they were all very good as well. read more

I was blown away by Koryo!! I loved the quality of the meats, and was such a fan of the service! The servers cut and cook the meats for you, which is amazing. The side dishes were delicious too. Definitely on the pricey side and not AYCE, but I thought it was well worth it!! read more

Warm service, sizzling food, and a birthday dinner done right We went to Koryo Kalbi Korean BBQ to celebrate my daughter's birthday, and it was such a great experience from start to finish. The staff were all smiles and made us feel genuinely welcomed. This time we dined in a private room, which added a fun touch to the celebration. We've sat in the main dining room before and loved that too, so you can't go wrong either way. Service was excellent--attentive without hovering. They checked in regularly and kept things running smoothly. The food? Fantastic. Generous portions, delicious flavors, and not a single person left hungry. We all felt like we got our money's worth. We skipped dessert only because there's a great little bakery a few doors down. If we lived closer, we'd be regulars here for sure! read more

I've had a lot of Korean BBQ in my life. I know what great tastes like and I know what corners look like when they've been cut. This place? No corners in sight. I ordered the Chosun BBQ Set which comes with Suwon Galbi, Jumulleok Galbi, and Rib Fingers. It's a short rib trifecta, all beef, all delicious. Every cut was tender, juicy, and deeply flavorful. The charcoal grill takes it to another level. This isn't just for show. Real charcoal gives the meat that smoky sear and depth that gas grills just can't match. What also stood out was the meat quality. This place is more than a restaurant. They're a full-on meat purveyor (they just don't advertise it). When you walk in, you see two big dry-aging refrigerators, and that tells you everything. The beef here is clearly treated with care and respect. The banchan was no afterthought either. Everything tasted bright and fresh. The kimchi had a kick, the sprouts had crunch, and somehow the broccoli was genuinely tasty. That does not happen by accident. Service was smooth and thoughtful. The staff was friendly without hovering and knew how to guide the meal so you could relax and just enjoy. This is Korean BBQ for people who care about Korean BBQ. Great cuts, real charcoal, fresh sides, and a team that knows what they're doing. I came in hungry and curious and walked out full and impressed. read more

Food is very good! We ordered Bekjea BBQ Set for 2-3 for $128. Food was good, service was nice, and was cooked by our server. We were a party of 3, but we could have eat a little more. Being able to cook for ourselves would have been fun, but we would not have done as good a job. Overall, it was a good experience, but a little more expensive than I thought. Good but not great experience if you are hungry! read more

Great experience here. Definitely one of my favorite kbbq spots in the city. They use charcoal which gives the meat a unique flavor. Service was excellent, the server helped us cook a lot of it which made the experience better. Be prepared to come out smelling like a grill. The meat was tender and flavorful. I love the sesame oil and samjang sauce. I'd love to try the other items on the menu next time. Although I wish they would do an AYCE option. The a la carte options are a little on the pricey side compared to others in the area. read more

The best Asian BBQ I've ever had in my life, and AMAZING service. Thank you!!! We had the short rib and pork belly and some beef bulgogi. It all came with SO many sides and their kimchi was out of this world. Especially the king oyster mushrooms, they were absolutely insane. My absolute favorite part was that the kind gentleman cooked the food for us so that made it all so much better. Sometimes the Asian bbq places are overstimulating because of how much food you have to cook and worry about temperatures. This is absolutely totally another level of service and customer satisfaction. Thank you guys so much!!! We will definitely be back. read more

I'm back and I love it here! Moon took care of us and gave us the best service! I will always come here to eat whenever I'm here in Dallas! Thank you Koryo family! Moon you are the MVP!!! read more

Delicious Korean bbq. The charcoal grill makes all the difference! This place is no ayce, but the quality of the meat is levels better than any of the ayce kbbq I've ever been to. Their bonchon is also spot on. My favorite ones are the fish cake, potatoes, bean sprouts, and steamed egg. I will say, the portion size might not be enough for 3 if there are any real carnivores in the group. But I felt pretty comfortable with the portion size and was quite full after (and this is after I haven't eaten for like 12 hours in the day). Plenty of parking in the lot. Dallas kbbq game is strong. read more

I'm not too familiar with Korean food so the dining experience was unique compared to other Asian restaurants I have eaten at. The place was clean, bathrooms clean, service was good. Server was very good at answering our food questions. Many Asians were dining there for lunch. Prices seem fair. The beef was chewy and not a top cut. I would recommend a chicken or seafood entree. read more

We've visited this restaurant twice now and both times we were lucky enough to be seated with Kim as our server. She is seriously one of the sweetest and most attentive servers we've ever had. Since they cook the food for you, it already makes the experience easier, but Kim went above and beyond. She constantly checked on us, made sure all of our side dishes stayed full, and took the time to explain what certain items were and the best way to eat them. That made such a difference, especially for us. What really stood out was how kind she was to our baby. She talked to her, smiled at her, and made her feel included instead of overlooked. As parents, we truly appreciated that extra care. Because of the service alone, we will definitely keep coming back. Thank you, Kim, for making both of our visits so enjoyable! read more

Three dollar signs for a reason! Best quality was good and the service was top notch! Super engaging and helped us ensure our water cups were always full. The alcoholic drinks were strong, Bar tender was definitely heavy handed read more

This is a pretty nice Korean BBQ spot in old Korean town. The interior décor is pretty fancy-looking. They only have large tables so this is definitely a good place for dinner parties of 4+. The service was absolutely superb! The food came out quick and our waitress was extra attentive. This is one of those places where the waitstaff take the time and BBQ the meat for you, and our waitress had some pretty amazing BBQ skills with using a tong and scissors. I was so caught up with watching the cooking that I forgot to take pictures of the finished product. For meat - We ordered beef short ribs, ribeye, and pork collar a la carte. We also got a bowl of cold noodles. The pork collar and short ribs were pretty good. The ribeye was especially juicy and tender. The short rib meat attached to the bones were super chewy and full of flavor. For the sides - the kimchi and cucumber were great. The cold noodles came with an egg and some radish and cucumber slices. And ICE, man these cold noodles were freezing! The first bite chilled my teeth. They were sweet and sour, so refreshing to eat on a hot day. read more

This is by far one of the best BBQ places in DFW. They cook everything with white charcoal. I haven't been here since before the pandemic, but man. The quality here blows my mind and I'm mad I've been going to mid places in Carrollton instead of here. They have the best banchans and meat selections!! Seriously!! MAD BUSSIN don't go anywhere else! Them potatoes HIT I got some bad photos but that's because my mouth was watering and I couldn't wait to eat. That's how good it was. Even the salad was so good. I felt so healthy chowing down dat bussin lettuce. Oh and don't get the white rice cause the purple rice is where it's at. On top of the food quality, our waiter, Joel, was super attentive and friendly. He cooked the meat for us and would make sure we are doing ok. Let me speak to the manager cause GIVE THIS MAN A RAISE RN!!!!! Overall, our experience here was great. Anyways. I posted this place on my IG last night and everyone swiped up asking where this place at. I hope the business here flourishes, we will be back! (And I hope yall will still have the potatoes) EDIT: I also had to mention that I didn't leave smelling too much like the grill. How yall do that? Thank you Koryo! read more

Koryo Korean BBQ - One of Dallas's Best for a Reason Koryo isn't just good--it's one of Dallas's 50 Best Restaurants, and it totally lives up to the hype. The Koryo BBQ Set is the way to go--premium cuts, great variety, and cooked over real white charcoal that gives everything that perfect smoky flavor. The banchan is awesome too -- some options that aren't found in other KBBQ options, or have a new twist that separates them from the rest. Laid-back atmosphere, friendly service, and seriously flavorful food. If you're into Korean BBQ or just want to try one of the best meals in Dallas, you've got to check this place out. read more

Fantastic place for Korean BBQ in Dallas. We ordered the Silla BBQ set for two people and loved the prime beef short ribs included. The service was very attentive, with frequent refills of ban chan and salad. We also liked that they served barley tea, which pairs perfectly with the BBQ. This is a big and well decorated restaurant and it is good for both small or large party. read more

DALLAS, TX 75229 / KOREAN BBQ / 07-04-23 / DINNER +The meat quality was superb. They use USDA Prime beef products and Duroc pork. +The banchan side dishes were pretty good. +The customer service was excellent. +They offer dry aged meat options. +The meat is cooked on charcoal grills. +They offer a small naengmyun for $8.00, which was just enough to cleanse the palate after devouring the Koryo BBQ Set. -The ventilation was terrible and the air conditioning was non-existent. -They charge extra for lettuce. -Automatic 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more.

This was my very first Korean bbq experience and wow did it completely blow my mind!! The five star service, incredibly detailed menu items, and delectable bbq. Wow! First of all, you have the choice to select two meats for your main dishes (some are listed as market price, some set), or you can choose their preset meat options. We opted for the dry aged prime rib and the pork belly. Either option you choose comes with about 4-6 sides of veggies. There are gluten free options available just be sure to communicate that to your chef who helps you throughout the meal. The open flames right at your table was just so refreshing. It's so cool to see the food you select get cooked right in front of you. Wow. I'm still dreaming about how delicious the meats are. If you're looking for other options, their combination fried rice was probably the best I've ever had. Throw and extra fried egg on top for a little protein party. This is a pretty pricey meal but wow was it a lot of food, plenty of leftovers, and memories to last a lifetime. read more

I was by myself so didn't get any meats to grill this time. I love that they don't use gas grills... so much more flavor with the meats. High quality meats & sides! Service was a bit slower today but that also could've been because I didn't order any meats to grill... japchae is good! It has a hint of sesame oil in it. I've also had the bibimibap bowl and that was also good. Would definitely recommend! read more

I got to introduce Korean BBQ to my friend's friends. Because we were a party of 10, I knew I couldn't take them to an AYCE place (I couldn't cook for them all). And given that it would be their first experience, I wanted to make sure they got quality meat too. Koryo was fantastic for the group. The price was what's knocking a star off, but it was a solid experience. Most of them were from out of town and they talked about looking for Korean BBQ places around where they lived. Success! read more

A party of 4 of us had a late lunch at Koryo at 3pm on Sunday and we're not disappointed. I'm definitely a fan of Korean BBQ but very picky about meat cuts and selection. Koryo didn't miss the mark on either! Our table ordered the Koryo BBQ Set and a side of Bulgogi. All of the meat was outstanding; accompanied by a plethora of fresh banchan, scallion salad, steamed egg, soup and rice. Somehow we didn't get a lettuce basket but I honestly didn't even miss! Our waitress cooked everything perfectly and was extremely nice. And of course, what's KBBQ without Chamisul Classic to toast and cleanse the palate. Great food, great service and a cozy decor made Koryo a great choice. I'll definitely be back! read more
