    Matcha Martini
    Christy O.

    We went for a birthday celebration. Party of 4. We let one person in the group order for everyone and in hindsight we shouldn't have done that. The server cooked for us. She explained everything in detail. The meat is higher quality than some of the other Korean BBQ's around. I had a matcha martini and it was delicious. Oh wait, I had two!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    One of the late night spot for Korean bbq. Their food and banchan are always fresh and delicious. The meat is grilled on charcoal which enhances the smoky flavor. Restaurant looks nice and clean with great customer service.

    Staff will let you cook but they prefer to do it for you.

    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.

    We love this place! Highly recommend! Their meats are premium and having it cooked on a charcoal grill makes a difference. I personally love their jap chae - definitely a fav of mine!

    Soul V.

    Came back. Still great. Always bring new friends to introduce legit KBBQ to. Can't beat the charcoal and marinated kalbi combo here. And that fresh oyster kimchi. Ugh, now I want to go back again.

    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!

I do think prices were slightly on the higher end and service was a little slow, but again, given the circumstances, I personally did not mind. There is an impressive selection of banchan that could almost be a full meal in itself. They were all very fresh and high quality. I ordered the galbi and spicy cold noodles. The galbi came on a sizzling plate. It was tender and flavorful. However, it was expensive, at almost the same price of dinner AYCE KBBQ. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy cold noodles, not because it was bad, but more so due to personal preference. The portion size was very generous though. My family ordered the shrimp fried rice and bulgogi quesadilla. The fried rice was very solid; it had good flavor, texture, and they nailed the portion of vegetables, protein, and rice. The bulgogi quesadilla was also delicious and I appreciate the creativity. The combination of bulgogi, japchae, and cheese might sound sacrilegious to some, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

When I walked in, the place was empty. I stood at the "Please wait to be seated" sign for way longer than necessary--especially since there were no other customers. I finally peeked in and saw two employees busy counting receipts and money at the register. (Bad Impression #1). After being seated, I was actually enjoying the music until I felt something sticky on my forearm. It was a stray bean sprout left on the table (Bad Impression #2). To make matters worse, the tables are incredibly low. Even at my height, I had to hunch over the entire time. I eventually gave up on table manners and just held the rice bowl up to my face to eat comfortably. Regarding the food: it was a bit salty. The kimchi fried rice was average, but the kimchi stew really missed the mark. That was the moment I realized this is a fusion spot, not authentic Korean. It wasn't horrible, but it's definitely different from the real thing. BUT, can we talk about the massive portions? (Good Impression #1). Everything is clearly meant to be shared. The service was actually good. They have a buzzer on the table for service, which I loved. It saves you from having to track down a waiter. (Good Impression #2). The ambiance is loud, poppy, and "hip." You better like K-pop if you're coming here. It's not a first-date spot because it's hard to hear each other, but it's a solid place to hang out with friends who like the genre. Will I come back? Not actively. But if someone else suggests it, I won't fight them on it.

    JOA Grill stands out as one of the top Korean BBQ experiences in Dallas, delivering a modern,…read moreupscale-yet-approachable take on classic table-side grilling in the heart of Koreatown. The restaurant shines with its premium, high-quality meats--sourced thoughtfully, including standout options from 44 Farms--carefully selected and prepared by Michelin-recognized chefs. Whether you go for the popular Taste of JOA (Signature or Premier boards) or individual cuts, the beef and pork options consistently impress with rich marination, perfect tenderness, and that satisfying sizzle on the grill. Popular favorites that reviewers rave about include the marinated bone-in short rib (galbi), prime short rib, ribeye, hanger steak, pork belly, and specialties like flash-fried short ribs or shrimp. The meats arrive beautifully presented, cook evenly at the table, and deliver deep, savory flavors--often described as juicy, flavorful, and reminiscent of authentic home-style Korean cooking elevated with premium technique. Sides (banchan) are a highlight: fresh, generous, and "unreal" according to many, with standouts like mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, steamed egg soufflé, corn cheese, kimchi fried rice, and soybean paste stew (doenjang jjigae) that round out the meal perfectly. The experience wraps up sweetly with ice cream for a complete, shareable feast ideal for groups or celebrations. The atmosphere enhances everything: lively, stylish, and vibrant with a sleek, modern interior featuring neon accents that feels fun and energetic without being overwhelming--perfect for date nights, family gatherings, or special occasions. Service earns frequent praise for being attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, with staff guiding first-timers through the grilling process. Cocktails and drink towers add to the festive vibe, pairing beautifully with the smoky, savory food. Nuances and considerations: Pricing reflects the premium ingredients and experience (Taste of JOA runs around $42-$54+ per person, with upgrades for A5 Wagyu or larger parties), so value opinions vary--some see it as worth every penny for the quality and fun interactive element, while others note it can feel a bit higher-end for casual dining. A few reviews mention occasional inconsistencies in service pacing during busy times or subtle variations in ambiance depending on the crowd, but the majority describe it as consistently enjoyable and welcoming. Portions work best when shared, and the interactive grilling adds a social, hands-on layer that many love (bring a group to maximize the fun). Note that as of recent updates, the restaurant has been temporarily closed--check their website, social media, or call ahead for current status before planning your visit. Overall, JOA Grill excels at blending tradition with innovation: fire-kissed premium cuts, abundant flavorful sides, creative cocktails, and a lively yet comfortable setting make it a standout choice for anyone craving high-quality Korean BBQ in Dallas. It's frequently called one of the best in the city for good reason--great for meat lovers, groups, and those seeking an elevated yet fun dining adventure.

    Took me a while to write this, but I came back here because I had a good dinner here and decided to…read moredo a Korean bbq closer to my home. We were even greeted with a welcome back and given a welcome back coupon, which I loved, so the night started out well. Now for context to my frustration, last time we went here, our server cooked everything, so we only came back because we wanted to go to a Korean bbq specifically where they cooked the meat for you as well. Apparently, that isn't the norm. We ordered drinks and then waited a substantial amount of time before the servers came back to ask for our food order. Literally the table next to us ordered before us and we're basically near the end of their meal before we even ordered. Mind you, we were seated right in the thick of where the servers go in and out of the kitchen and you can see everything going on (or lack of anything). Drinks took forever to come and they started cooking one of the meats and then never came back. They kept walking past our table and not saying anything. We had to tell them that we needed help and asked if someone was going to cook for us. They apologized and would start cooking again only when we complained, but then would proceed to leave and not come back until we asked again. They kept giving us excuses that they were short staffed, which is understandable, but not when we can see them literally doing nothing about it. There was no sense of urgency or trying to work harder since they were understaffed. They would stand at the little computer at the door to the kitchen looking like they were doing something, while the rest of the restaurant was being ignored. We mentioned to them multiple times that we were being ignored and they offered to take care of us with dessert or maybe comp something at the end. At this point, I'm quiet because I'm visibly annoyed by the incompetence and got to the point where I didn't even want to talk to the staff anymore. I kinda have RBF, so I know they were feeling my frustration. We were almost done eating and were waiting for them to start cooking the shrimp, which was the last meat on our combo, and the server came by and asked if we wanted the check. I was like, "we aren't even done eating, we were waiting for someone to cook the shrimp." Now if they initially told us that we would be cooking, this all wouldn't be a problem, but we were under the impression that they would cook our food, which was the root of the entire service problem we were having. Finally, they came by with desserts that were on the house, even though I really wanted them to just comp something instead, but they didn't give us the option. We didn't even want dessert, but were forced to eat it because they felt it was a good solution to the problems with service. They even asked if we wanted a shot on the house, but I didn't want to drink alcohol that night, and when I refused, they teased me about it. It's my business if I want to drink or not, but don't assume everyone thinks alcohol solves everything. That left a sour note in my mind and sealed the deal that we won't come back. For how expensive this restaurant is, they need to have top tier service, and this was not it. I suggest you stay away!
