    I was in Katy Asia town and was craving Korean bossam. They had what I wanted on the menu but it was a family portion LOL! So it was a bit pricey for one person. I ordered it anyway. It was absolutely delicious and the kimchi tasted so good too. I liked that the pork had some flavor and not just plain like other places. The inside is very clean and spacious seating. Service was really nice too. All the girls that helped me were nice.

    Inviting atmosphere thanks to the friendly and attentive staff who frequently checked up on us during our visit! They're very knowledgeable about their extensive menu, which helped me narrow down my options. My friend and I ordered the grilled pork ribs with soy sauce flavor and the seafood pancake. The pork ribs were a little tough to cut, but they were thick and flavorful. As for the seafood pancake, they were very generous with the squid and shrimp. The batter, however, could have been better because it fell apart when cut and wasn't as chewy as we expected. This restaurant is currently BYOB (bring your own beer) while awaiting its liquor permit, with a $5 corkage fee for the entire table. Overall, my friend and I enjoyed our meal. We're curious about their short ribs and soups, so we'll definitely come back next time to try those!

    Pretty good. Quality meat. Get the bulgogi bibimbap your welcome. Service was good and attentive Vietnamese and korean kinda threw me off but it is what it is.

    Located in the popular Katy Asian town next to Hmart. I heard great things about the Dallas - Maht Gaek so I was excited to try the Houston location. The restaurant is very busy but the waiters were super attentive. The food was delicious and seasoned perfectly.

    I was really excited to have Maht Gaek opening in Houston. The grilled pork ribs are known to be the real deal and it was indeed very tender and packed with all the right flavors. I personally would've preferred the ribs over a bed of sizzling onions rather than cabbages. The Cold Buckwheat Noodles was refreshing and paired nicely with the pork ribs. Banchan was where the experience felt flat for me. Side dishes can really elevate every bite, but none of the selection was impressive to make the meal taste cohesive. I left somewhat feeling unsatisfied -- not because the food wasn't good, but because it didn't fully meet the expectation I had going in. Considering the location and drive time, the food quality was just not high enough for me make a returning trip.

    My family had dinner here last night. We'd been to the location in Dallas and had great meals at both. Katy location just opened. Nice, clean decor and ambience, and the service was very good. This is going to be out go-to Korean (non-bbq) restaurant in the Houston area. We had: Original spicy port ribs (5/5) - Delicious. Well flavoured and cooked. Spicy Squid Stir-Fry (5/5) - Reall good version of this dish. This is on the spicier side. Kalbi Tang (5/5) - Really good broth, 3 big pieces of bone-in ribs in the soup. Port Cutlet (3/5) - This was just okay, but probably not something that one should be ordering at this restaurant anyway. Can't wait to go back!

    My sister was finally getting home early from work, so we decided it was the perfect time to give this location a try after loving it in Dallas. We ordered the Kalbijjim with cheese and rice cakes, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The meat was tender, rich, and flavorful, and the addition of melted cheese and chewy rice cakes made every bite even more satisfying. It was comforting, hearty, and exactly what we were craving. The restaurant wasn't very busy when we visited, which made for a relaxed dining experience. Service was great -- the staff were attentive without being overbearing and made sure we had everything we needed. The space still carries the layout from the previous restaurant, so it feels open and fairly spacious, which I appreciated. Note: If you order the Kalbijjim, prepare to share with you and 2 others or otherwise, be prepared to take some home. The portions were really generous!!

    I was looking for a Korean restaurant in the Katy Asian Town area for dinner when I stumbled upon Maht Gaek. I noticed that it replaced a previous Korean restaurant called Bon Galbi which I did try but didn't like, and I was so glad that Maht Gaek turned out way above my expectations. Upon arrival, the restaurant was really busy, and we were told it would be about a 10 minutes wait. We were able to get a table after only about 5 minutes, which was great. Our server was nice, but it was difficult to get the server's attention because we were seated right next to a wall. For the dishes, we ordered spicy rice cakes, the grilled pork ribs original, and the mix (beef and seafood) tofu soup. The meal came with complimentary sides (potatoes, kimchi, fish cakes, and cucumbers). All the dishes turned out so flavorful and delicious. My favorite was definitely the pork ribs, but the tofu soup was amazing as well. I would definitely come back to Maht Gaek if I wanted Korean again in the Katy Asian Town area.

    good value korean eats in katy!! wanted to get raw marinated crabs, but they weren't available that day. decided on tonkatsu and spicy nangmyeon tonkatsu was HUGEE, crispy exterior and juicy interior! can't ask for much more there, but their tonkatsu sauce is really interesting. there might be some cinnamon in there? unfortunately, it was a strange combo for us so we set it aside. nangmyeon was perfectly chewy and paired with a spicy sauce that coated the noodles well! great for a summer day got two jeju mandarin juices for free for leaving a google review as well

    I really enjoyed myself on my own solo date here. I've been looking for an authentic type of Suyuk restaurant in the Houston area and this is literally the closest to it and I'm very pleased. I believe the restaurant is still fairly new as the interior was pristine. The staff are great and I think they were shocked when I decided to eat almost a whole combination Suyuk by myself. I giggled and said it's okay because not many of people I know like to eat what I eat and aren't as "adventurous" which is totally okay because I get to have it all for myself. The manager or owner was super sweet!!!! She made me her secret dipping sauce and I was in love with it and her recommendation. I'd say for you all looking at reviews to just give it a try, and when you're done eating, go do a walk around hmart for digestion then get your dessert around the plaza. I hope Maht Gaek will still be here when I come back to Houston next year. lol. Thank you to the staff and manager for taking care of me while I dined. I had a wonderful experience.

    If this place is on your list I would definitely try it, if you have friends you can bring, bring them so you can share these big dishes together. I've had this spot before but in the DFW area so I knew what I was getting into. We ordered two main dishes and some Mandu, the short rib soup was good we added extra noodle but I'm not sure they gave us a whole bunch, but it's fine cuz the soup was so flavorful and the meat was so tender. The pork ribs were the star! I loved the char and the meaty rib and they gave us a lot! Eating it with the rice was so good, I want to repeat that meal haha. Service was nice nothing to note they were friendly, the restaurant was quaint and clean.

    Ribs. These were awesome!
    PJ M.

    The ribs here are fantastic! Flavorful and juicy. Galbi Jim was tender and tasty with some added rice cakes. It felt the spice level wasn't too crazy. Also ordered the raw blue crab dish which was interesting. Tastes pretty good but a bit too tough to eat without cutting your hands or potentially your mouth with all the sharp edges. Be careful! Now keep in mind, they just opened and they seem to be getting their feet under them. They are currently understaffed and all aspects of service currently can be improved including speed and level of attention to details. There was a point where I looked outside to see 4-5 groups waiting and yet inside the restaurant there were several tables that were empty. But that said, it may also have been an off day and wouldn't keep me from coming back. Parking is of course tough on weekends cause it's in Katy Asiatown. So just keep that in mind.

    Great place to get Korean food around Katy Texas! My favorite was the short rib as it was thin and juicy. Everything else was good, it was my first time trying raw marinated crab and I've always been a texture person so I wasn't a huge fan. Overall, I highly recommend and would come back.

    Great service! Food comes out quickly! Side dishes are so fresh and they give generous refills! Pork ribs are so tender and flavorful!

So we decided to try the burgers during this trip. I will say this, I will never order another burger at this restaurant. We are huge fans of fresh hamburgers, and we always try them at most restaurants that we go to. So we got a Hickory burger, a bacon cheeseburger, and a regular cheeseburger. All of our burgers were well done to the point that they were hard to chew and they were not tasty. Normally at this restaurant, food comes out very quickly, but this time it did take a little longer and now I know why. I was very disappointed in all of the burgers and how they were really way too well done. The restaurant was super busy and we should've said something, but we did not because we had been waiting so long. We just did not want to wait any longer. The french fries were super hot and fresh, I will give them that. I think at this point, we will stick to the chicken tenders because those are super good, but the burgers were not good at all. Again, we really enjoy this restaurant, but we are going to stick to what we normally order. If you order a burger at Mia's table, make sure you tell them that you want it done medium, and not well done. Other than this experience, we have always loved the food there and you get free ice cream after your meal. We highly recommend the chicken tenders and the baked beans are phenomenal. The green beans are great. The banana pudding is great and the staff is super friendly.

From the moment…read moreyou step into the clean, large restaurant, you get greeted by the loveliest Korean ahjummas and are seated at a table next to a TV playing some K-Drama. The menu is big, but every item on it is executed so well. The flavors are comparable to that you'll get in Korea, with the side dishes few but perfect (the kimchi, jjangachi, and radish kimchi). My favorite is the gamjatang---there is so much meat, the potatoes are piping hot, and the soup is perfectly seasoned and rich. The pancakes and blood sausages are also delicious. I love coming here whenever I crave authentic Korean food: everything from the service to the meal itself is top-tier. The prices are also very very reasonable, especially lunch prices! Parking is plentiful and it's right off the freeway. You have to come here for the best Korean food in the area---I drive all the way from the Medical Center to come here, and it never disappoints!

Service was spot on, quick, and we got our food in what felt like maybe a few minutes. We started off with pork dumplings for the kiddo, which he INHALED in moments. For entrees, we split the orange chicken and the Spicy/Numbing Pot. The orange chicken was spot on. The sauce was sweet but not painfully sweet or thick/clumpy. Really nice orange flavor and tender chicken. So much fun eating it since it is gluten free! Our kiddo also devoured this dish! Mild - not spicy at all! The Spicy Numbing Pot, while a little oily/greasy on the bottom, was still delicious! I appreciated that it wasn't knock your socks off spicy - it had a solid kick, and so flavorful. I love eating dishes with Sichuan Pepper; it has a lot of flavor, and the tingling is so much fun. This dish was perfect with some rice, and it wasn't too heavy for the middle of the day. The prices were really reasonable, and there was enough food for leftovers which we ate later that night. Our only regret is not getting the duck appetizer, but we will be sure to get it next time. We can't wait to go back, and Tiger Noodle will happily be in regular rotation for our family! You can't go wrong!
