    I'm so glad Samwon is back! We came during the Soft Opening, so the entire menu wasn't available. However our meal eat excellent! The food was fresh and delicious. The service was great, very friendly, very fast, and she explained the menu to us. They did a small makeover of the dininng room, making it more open and inviting. Overall, great, can't wait to come back!

    It's recently reopened under new ownership. My friend and I came here for lunch. The server and one of the owners were very friendly and helpful when explaining the menu. It was a little warm inside, even though they had a large fan running in the other room. The food was good -- I'd give it a 7/10. The only downside was the flies flying around the tables.

    Bibibap and spicy pork bulgogi with all the banchan.

    This is the first Korean restaurant I have been to in DFW and my wife's first ever Korean experience. All of the food was really good in the atmosphere felt like being in a family member's house. All of the food was well seasoned, but not too pungent. I really enjoyed the fresh kimchi.

    I really like that this place is just a couple of minutes from my house. I haven't been in a while so it was nice to be able to go with my friend. There is always a place to sit. It's not too loud inside so you can definitely hear your conversation. I usually go for the beef spare rib, the food is always really good and amazing. You get several sides to go along with your meal. I try to go at least once a month, but I would like to go more.

    So I was looking for a Korean bbq place for dinner and this place popped up on Google so that's where we ended up. It's a small place in a strip mall, we were greeted immediately as we walked in and the staff was very very friendly and attentive. They do have some tables with Korean bbq grills in the center but I didn't see any Korean bbq options and nobody in the restaurant was using one either I'm not sure what that's about. I ordered the spicy beef bulgoggi and a Korean beer I've never heard of which was kinda like a Heineken, my girlfriend ordered the combo fried rice. The bulgoggi was tasty but seemed to have just as much as onions as it did beef even though I ordered the large and for $17 in my opinion overpriced, the fried rice was a good portion and our meals came with all the usual side dishes which is nice. Overall it's not what I was looking for and it was overpriced but the food was fresh and had food flavor.

    We are still getting the sausage jungol because it is just that good! Get it and you will not be disappointed. All of the accompanying sides are tasty and fun! Now you also need to try the kimchi jun (spicy tasty pancake) and Kimbap roll. Our server was fantastic as always!

    This place is a gem. Simple place, great food, nice staff, decent portion-size. The Kim chi's are complimentary & you can get refills. We loved all the Kim chi's & savored every bite! Both the bimbop & spicy pork bulgogi were so tasty & tender. Loved the crispy rice in the bimbop cast iron bowl. The space is nicely decorated in Korean theme & spacious.

    A hidden gem in plain sight! Very authentic Korean restaurant. The servers were very friendly and helped with the menu. My husband and I shared 2 large Korean BBQ plates and it came with all the little sides. We also order separately kimchi stew and the kimchi pancake. Everything was so delicious! The ambiance was very homey and comfortable. We will def be coming back soon!

    My To-Go Korean spot! (My Korean friend approved!!). Me and my husband have been coming since we were still in college. It always gets the spicy pork and my husband always gets the grill eel! We're usuals here haha! The servers know us and our order, they are super sweet! It's a mom and pop shop so the food feels very homie!

    Friendly staff. Bad food. But I guess I shouldn't have expected better Korean food in Fort worth. You're better off just driving the extra time to go to Carrollton or even Dallas for better Korean food. The only decent dish we ordered was a galbi tang. But no Korean restaurant should make a bad galbi tang. The waitress was friendly. Most of the customers seemed to be regulars. And not Korean.

    Kimchi pancake. Fantastic.
    Wayne Z.

    Tasty! Tried to pop in for lunch a few months ago and they were slammed so I left not having much time. Just met a coworker here today and they were MUCH slower. Friendly service although only 1 waitress really for the entire place so could be problematic if busier. We both ordered the lunch bento box was pretty solid amt of food for the money. We got beef bulgogi and spicy chicken and both boxes were demolished in short order. Not a soup person so left that untouched. What probably stole the show though was the kimchi pancake as it was amazing. Will def be back again!

    Bibimbap

    Best and most authentic Korean food in Fort Worth! It is owned by a father, mother, and daughter who are so kind! They put their heart into their work, and make the extra effort to not change any recipe to keep it authentic! Their sides are amazing and I LOVE their bibimbap, japchae, and soon tofu soup so much! I've been back many times and have always had a great experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Definitely one of my favorite places UPDATE: I have now been 6 times since finding it in November...still amazing and will be here many more times!! The owners were so kind and gave us so much fish cakes because we loved it and asked for more! I brought my parents Bc I always rave about this place and they now understand the hype

    Food is average. Wait time is 30 min. Worth it if it's the closest korean craving is near you. Otherwise I'd rather go elsewhere.

Basically, it tasted as if the owner is in the back running the line because his cooks left him hanging. All the cooks were gone, crappily marinated, improperly cooked meat is what we got. Who ever was on the sides and banchan were on it though. They need a raise. Either fire your grill cook and hire a real one. Also, clean your restaurant and pick a theme man. Sidenote, having the server come out to tell us without coming out yourself is lame. "You just don't like "our" food. It's supposed to be like that." Fool. No it isn't. Your marinade for your meat is crap. What yall need is a chef to run stuff. Someone like me or my husband. Sorry, also: the star goes toward your pantry cook. The banchan was not bad, weird lineup but not bad. Why no japchaee, or radish kimchi? Also, that much mayo on steamed broccoli def wasn't my favorite. Ps.ps. they really tried to convince us that this is how its supposed to taste, what do you mean it tastes sour? I mean, your marinade has too much vinegar in it. It tastes bad. What exactly is wrong with the galbi? It sat in the marinade too long, the meat taste grainy in it- because of the pear in the marinade- or pineapple juice to each their own. It can basically cook the meat before the meat hits the pan if you leave it in there too long. You would notice this stuff- presentations good. But if the foods bad, it's bad no matter how pretty you make it look. We paid the full bill. Gave 10% to the server, because it wasnt her fault but she didn't help the situation.

The place is always full when we're there, but I haven't encountered a wait for seating yet. The interior is a little more casual than other kbbq places I've been to which makes it good for a less formal meal. The grills can be a little slow, but our servers were attentive and changed out the grill plates often to help with optimal cooking. The buffet offers a good selection of bonchon dishes and some preprepared meat options. Although the preprepared meats are good, they aren't as fresh so I'd highly recommend ordering from the grill menu to get the best quality meats!

I paid $26 with tip to have an experience not worth the price. I was told when I was leaving not satisfied with my experience that the hot food is now hot I was told by the front desk lady!!!

    2/13/26 - this is the date in which I had the best fried chicken I had ever had. Before writing…read morethis review, I looked at how other people rated the food here. I'm not sure what their experience what, but I'm going to die on this hill that this is some phenomenal, life-changing chicken. I got takeout. Double flavor wings. Gang-jeong. Perfect balance of sweetness, umami, and heat. The other flavor was chessling. Again, perfect balance; this time, it was between rich cheesiness and a right amount of sweetness as well. I highly recommend both flavors. Now, this is just about the flavor itself. The meat itself was so tender and juicy. In the most appetizing, and hopefully not weird (but inevitably weird) way to describe it, it's almost as if I just caught the chicken with my bare hands and took a bite out of it. However, instead of getting feathers in my mouth, I was met with the most satisfyingly crispy exterior. What was specifically amazing about it was the fact that you could distinctly taste the tender meat on the inside separate from the crispy crunch on the outside. This was one of those meals where once I was done, I was in a complete coma afterwards. I woke up the next day in my bed about an hour or two before I had to get to work. Even though I was in a short vegetative state, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

The atmosphere was about what you'd expect from a restaurant near a college campus. The chicken is expensive, so I'd suggest using the app and signing up for emails to get deals.
