    Good Korean food. There's a few choices in the inner northeast side of town for Korean food. myung Ga Won is one of them. It's not very popular, but the food is made competently and it comes out quickly. Like most places they won't charge you extra for side dish (banchan) refills. On cold days I go for the jiggaes...kimchi jiggaes, in particular. It comes out boiling hot. On hot days, which is most days in San Antonio, I also go for a hot soup, solentang. I've had their dolsot bibimbap which is delicious. Their dokbokki (spicy rice dumplings) is generously portioned. Unfortunately, some items have fallen off the menu. Too bad, there were some that were delicious. The location is easy to find right near the interstate. If you're looking for an quiet place, this place may be it.

    I ordered delivery and food was perfect packed! The kimchi stew was 100% amazing, I loved how pickled the kimchi was and the rice was cooked well also! As for the bean sauce noodles, it was tasty too, though I wish there was more pork, it was still super yummy. But the star was their side dishes *ban chan! It was incredible and I wish I ordered more. I can't wait to order from here again or go by sometime !

    Tteokbokki

    Food is amazing!! very flavorful and authentic. I highly recommend getting the rice cake appetizer its flavor is so unique. Service was wonderful, my glass of water never got below half because there was always someone to refill it. 10/10 I will definitely be returning :) the environment feels cozy as well

    Spicy Stir-Fried Pork and Kimchi

    Awesome restaurant! Great food regardless of what you order and the service is fantastic; they treat you like family.

    Daeji Bulgogi

    This was my first time at this restaurant and I have to say the food and service was incredible. I ordered the kan pung gi which was deliciously crispy and full of flavor with the perfect amount of spicy. My boyfriend ordered the daeji bulgogi and usually he's not the type to eat kimchi but this place made it so perfectly that he ate everything. The prices match the portion you're getting and the quality as well. The server was so kind and attentive I didn't catch his name but he was really nice. I wish this restaurant got more attention instead of the chain k bbq places.

    Tteokbokki

    Such an underrated gem for a quite night and great food. Service is probably the kindest in all of San Antonio.

    Beef kalbi

    My son and I had been looking for a Korean restaurant to go to here in San Antonio and found this gem based on Yelp. It did not disappointment!! The owner was so nice and the food was delicious! I was stationed in Korea and have had Korean food there and in the U.S. The food was served hot and with a few Korean sides....kichee, cucumber kimchee, Korean pancake and noodles. I had the beef bulgogi and yaki man do whilst my son has the beef kalbi. Both of our dishes came with rice. We will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place if you love Korean food or want to try it.

    I have a conflicted heart when it come to this place, but then theirs my biased love for all Asian cuisine. That being said I can say the food is pretty good. What they really need to work on is there restaurant ambiance tho, it's super dark, dated and just old looking. It needs some brightening up big time and it would make a world of difference! Low lighting always has me questioning the restaurants overall cleanliness due to the fact that you need light to see dirt! The decor needs some help too. As far as what's important, the food was good! It didn't blow my mind and I'm not obsessing over it, but it's a good place to get your Korean fix. The fried chicken dish we had seemed more like a Chinese general Tso's chicken to me, but was still good just not what I was expecting. The pork belly bbq we got was ok but wasn't marinated or anything special, could've made it at home on a cast iron skillet. Seafood soup was by far the best thing, tons of seafoood and good to split between two or three people. I do wish they gave you more banchan (Korean side dishes) they were kinda minuscule portions and not much variety. Maybe it changes day to day? But I don't personably like having to ask for refills every 5 seconds because their banchan is small. Would I come back? Yes, but when is no telling it's kinda one of those places youre satisfies with but forget in your day to day.

    Tang su yuk
    Connie H.

    I was hoofing it back to SA from Austin when the craving hit me upside the head! One of my favorite foods would be the Korean, Chinese noodle dish called Jajangmyeon. Black bean sauce- delish and hard to find the right flavor. This came really close and I will be back for more! I also got the tang su yuk which is the Korean, Chinese version of sweet and sour pork. This too was very good. The only negative I can point out, hence the 4 stars- noodles were a little over cooked and the pork to breading ratio was off. Can't wait to try the other dishes!

    Combination BBQ
    Azucena R.

    Came in with friends, Kevin tended to us and the customer service was excellent! We purchased the Mo-Dum-Gu-Lee combination BBQ and it was immaculate! Delicious! Scrumptious! PERIOD. The pork was juicy, tender, thinly sliced---perfectly portioned. The beef was well seasoned and juicy! The chicken wasn't my favorite but for sure on the starting line. All of the sides were fresh and perfectly fermented! The kimchi was mouth watering. We are declaring Myung Ga Won our new spot for Korean BBQ!

    A hole in the wall, blink and you'll miss it kind of place that you definitely don't want to sleep on. The portions are definitely shareable with delicious additions to enjoy with your dish

    Delicious!

    First of all, I'm a wheelchair user and the establishment had a handicap spot with a ramp so I…read moredidn't need help to get in. The seating time took about 30 seconds and was spacious so my wheelchair wasn't hitting any other tables. The staff was nice, very hard working and the food was brought to us in less then 15 minutes. The first thing We recieved was the bulgogi (Korean beef short ribs) and it came with rice and all these amazing side dishes The flavor of the beef was super tender, delicious, and the best seasoned beef in all of San Antonio We also got the hangover beef stew soup and every single bit was filled with perfectly cooked vegetables with tender bits of beef and with the most flavorful broth, not too spicy but with a little kick. Delicious and it also came with a side of rice. I give the bulgogi a 9/10 And the hangover soup 10/10 Super delicious

    THIS PLACE IS REALLY GOOD! GREAT SERVICE AS WELL!…read more Food: 4/5 The food has a great taste! I really loved the galbi, it was a little sweet but very good. The Banchan aren't what I'm used to, I guess I wish there was more variety. No rice paper, no radish, no mac salad, no potato salad...we did order the fried dumplings- they were good. Service: 5/5 They're very kind and attentive! The small group of women who run this place are doing a phenomenal job. All around:4/5. The plates are a bit small (I am a light eater and still found them not very big for the price) not ridiculously small, but on the smaller side. I am also used to Koreatown - Los Angeles Korean food which I feel is a league of its own (lol) so it's definitely hard for me to like just any Korean food. All in all It's a little far and out of our way, but we will definitely come back. :)

Fast forward a few years, now named Garlic Bulgogi (and closer to Bandera/Huebner), the restaurant brings the same energy and joy with delicious, well-served dishes! My husband and I love to come to Garlic Bulgogi on the weekends as one of our cozy spots. He always ordered the Beef Bulgogi and I jump between Spicy Beef Bulgogi, Beef Bulgogi Stew or in this case, Beef Japchae. The plates are always consistent in flavor and portion sizes. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and we love the owner! She is always attentive and ready to check on guests. Tonight's experience was perfect! Our dishes were served with banchan which included kimchi, cucumbers, potatoes, daikon, onions and more. The Beef Japchae was packed with veggies, tender beef, hot, and the sweet potato noodles brought the right about of texture to the dish. The Beef Bulgogi plate was an explosion of flavor in every bite. The beef was tender and always a great go-to. Each dish came with a side of white rice. We absolutely love Garlic Bulgogi and have the best time, food and experience when we visit! We can't wait come back to try a new dish.

Chas Market & Kitchen had been long on my list and since it was minutes away, seemed like the most logical choice. I have constantly heard people sing its praises. I will say I'm not versed in Korean fare. I had previously went to another Korean Restaurant and had a terrible experience. It is somewhere on the outskirts of the Eastside, alongside the highway. From the exterior it feels like a neighborhood convenient store. Once inside the room opens up with ample seating and tables. I noticed the tables that are specifically for their "All You Can Eat" menu but that's for another review. Along the walls are fridges with drinks and little knick knacks. It reminded me of a bodega. After we found a seat a server came and left menus. The menu is really extensive. I decided on their beef bulgogi, again a redo after the previous restaurant fiasco. A hip soundtrack is playing overhead, which I believe gives the place a modern vibe. Before I go on I must include that the server was excellent. I say this as he was very attentive but still able to work the rest of the room. Whenever I go to a new place sometimes I feel an anxiety. My fear is being disappointed and having wasted my time. But my impression is that it is an ultra laid back place. You can leave your Armani suit and Louboutin shoes at home. When the food came to the table it was served on a plate steaming similar to a fajita plancha. The server brought over accompanying small dishes that are meant to be added to the bulgogi. The small dishes contained: kimichi, spicy cucumbers, radish etc. Combining any or all with the dishes heightened the flavors. I think this was the most unique tasting thing I've had this year. In addition if you want a drink you have to choose one from their wall of fridges. I think this might dissuade some patrons but again, the overall experience is like that of a bodega. If you are looking for great Korean food with excellent service by all means go to Chas Market & Kitchen. So far this year this has been the restaurant with the most unique flavors. It is perfect for a date night, friends or with family. And I have to, have to absolutely do their "All You Can Eat" where you cook all items. I'm buying if someone else is doing the cooking.
