If you want Americanized Korean food I would advise not coming here. This restaurant is authentic Korean food only! I ordered the chicken with spicy rice cakes. I LOVE spicy rice cakes.. one of my favorite korean dishes that I will forever hold close to me. While the sweet/spicy flavor of the sauce wasnt my favorite, I still enjoyed the overall meal. Would recommend this cute authentic Korean bbq restaurant only if you truly enjoy a authentic Korean cuisine. read more

Family owned hole in the wall in the middle of Katy on Mason. Service is super friendly, food is good and we had a great time. Not sure the paper plates are doing them any favors but it did not bug us. We ordered allot of food and nothing was bad. Kids loved the food on the kids menu. Go and try em out! We will most certainly be back. read more

Super tasty! I go here all the time. Friendly & warm environment. I'm not from Houston, but Austin, and I was looking for a place similar to what I used to eat. This place is perfect & authentic! read more

Went here after looking up best KBBQ spots in Houston and it was no joke! Ordered the special combo the meats were so sweet and rich sides were very flavorful and the employees were very kind! Definitely would recommend as the prices are very manageable will definitely be coming back! read more

I was recommended this place by my teacher and decided to try it out. Amazing! The service is very attentive and the restaurant is very homey. I got the chuksuk tukboki which was very tasty. The sauce was sweet and spicy. The fried dumplings were a great addition. The tukboki was perfectly chewy, I wish there was more tukboki and less ramen noodles. Warning: very spicy! If you don't handle spice well, I would not recommend this dish for you. It is a bit pricy but my sister and I shared and we still had leftovers. read more

Great neighborhood korean restaurant! Enjoyed the seafood pancake, stir fried udon with seafood and the spicy pork bimbimbap. Will be back!

Reviews were great but for me, the food was okay. I ordered Al tang and Jjamppong. They were decent.

Winter in Buffalo made me look like a PASTY KO Drove too fast to get here, guess I'm just a HASTY KO Slurped down every drop of soup so nothing went to WASTY KO And if you want Korean Soup, the best on earth is TASTY KO! The rain in Spain falls on the Plain, not all of it, but MAINLY KO This is to Katy Texas what Detroit is to SHADY KO It's even more delicious than Miss Perry, you know, KATY KO The best damm soup in HOU TX is here at TASTY KO! It's the Souperbowl Champ, it should be named BRADY KO It tastes even better than going down on LACI KO But this verse just went and got a little bit too RACY KO So let's get back to being virginal and eat at TASTY KO! I know it's far from Hipster Heights but no need to be LAZY KO It's way more healthy than a badly made expensive PASTRY KO And if you're really lucky you might see my posing BABY KO And even if you don't you'll be so glad you came to TASTY KO Just watch out for the morons on I-10, and arrive SAFELY KO And watch out if you go south on Mason, it's kind of WAVY KO Cause if you crash your fast car it'll be sadder than TRACY KO Chapman, that is, anyway, get your ass down to TASTY KO I'm not trying to say that you should drive like you're Miss DAISY KO But don't get road rage or you'll be as bad as Kevin SPACEY KO Rumours of his demise were not exaggerated GREATLY KO So wash away Frank Underwood's memory with TASTY KO (But don't wash away Carrie Underwood's memory, I'm really close right now, don't stop, keep rapping, hurry up and finish the rap before he cheats) i've been coming here each week I'm in Houston LATELY KO The best Korean food you'll ever eat? That's a hard MAYBE KO As good as anything found in Jamaica or in HAITI KO So if you want the best soup in Texas you come to TASTY KO! And if you're feeding Starlight give her cans with extra GRAVY KO And if you're trying to steal my girl, you can't, I drive her CRAZY KO And she will look this good until she's gone well north of EIGHTY KO And hopefully we'll still be coming here to eat at TASTY KO! What to get: Yuk Gae Jang What not to get: A Yuck Gangbang What else to get: Any of the soups What else not to get: Any of the SUVs I could make a Korea out of bad raps about food places, but if you want to make a Korea of eating perfect Korean soup, come here. Ever since Seoul Garden (Buffalo) closed, I've been sad. They had the best Yuk Gae Jang (which is anything but yuck) imaginable. Only one place in the USA makes it as good - and it's right here in Katy of all places. Namudol in Queens inside H-Mart is great, but not at this level. I could try and be diplomatic and say that other Korean Soup places are as good as this, but I'm not a Korea Politician, so I won't. By far the best Korean soup in TX, and might be the best I've ever tried anywhere in the world. If you love Korean soups, you absolutely have to come and try them here. If you don't love Korean soups, you probably didn't try them here yet - or perhaps at all - they're life-changing. I hope you listen to my Korea advice. Service is lovely and friendly as well, and prices are affordable. Portions are generous, if you care about side dishes they're some of the best I've tried at Korean places, but best of all the taste of the soup is just otherworldly. They just know how to make their sh**, and they do so better than almost anybody does. Forget UPS, this is the only Korea service that matters. When you go to get Korean food you should always get soup (Barbie learned this the hard way, but she likes anything the hard way generally), unless you're at a KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) place. And this is the soup spot that you should come to. Lim's has some good soups to go with their KFC as well, but nothing like this. We will probably come here on a very regular basis - maybe even as often as once a week - when I am back in town. Spectacular. And while Cilantro may be the same thing as Coriander, when it comes to soups and Barbie, I don't need anything other than Korea-and-her. My thoughts from my most recent visit: As always it is the greatest Korean restaurant in Texas, alongside Lim's, which is totally different because it's for KFC or Pork Kalbi. And if you agree with me that this place is the #1 anywhere, then I'm so glad you were able to Korea-oborate my story. Tasty Ko is not just the best Korean. It's one of the best restaurants of any kind that I've ever been to in Texas. An absolute must-try. So Tasty-Go here as soon as you can, it'll only take you a Tasty Mo to realize it's the best soup you've ever had, but Tasty Blow your spoonful first so it doesn't burn you. Your love for it will quickly Tasty Grow, and you'll Tasty Know that you'll never say Tasty No to this soup again. If you're a guy, we can come here together and you can be my Tasty Bro, and even if you're not into it I'll keep coming back here cause it's so Tasty Doe. And if you're really lucky, you might someday come here with a girl as stunning as my Tasty Ho. read more

my mom used to run a small Korean restaurant in Houston and so I know good Korean food from bad. I have to say, Tasty Ko surprised me. I wasn't expecting much but wow in a good way. Everything we ordered was pretty good. Galbi was seasoned and cooked well, not too sweet. Kimchi chigae could've been spicier but still good. Good variety of banchan and all well seasoned and tasty. If you're hankering for Korean food, give this place a try. We'll be coming back for more, for sure. read more

I love going here alone with my wife and/or with family. You have privacy partitions between booths and from the open area dining room tables. Tasty Ko is also family owned and you can feel the customer appreciation. I was in Korea for nearly two years while in the Army. My go to dish is Ja Jang Myeon (black bean paste noodle dish). It brings back memories. If you have never tried it then this is the place to try it. We almost always start our dinners by sharing a kimchi pancake which I also recommend. read more

Wonderful family-run business offers warm hospitality and amazing Korean cuisine. Hae Mul Pa Jun (Seafood Pancake) was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of sizable pieces of fresh seafood, accompanied by a vinegary dipping sauce that enhanced the flavor of the pancake. Mandy is savory and generously sized. Daeji Bulgogi Dolsot came sizzling with both kinds of heat (temperature and spice). The rice was perfectly crispy. The Seafood Japchae was Al Dente and satisfying. The accompanying side dishes were a delicious bonus. We had to ask for takeout boxes as we couldn't finish our food, and will enjoy it later. read more

Wow. Just wow. This little quaint place that is tucked away in a small shopping center is a place to marvel. First let me start off by saying this is a mom and pop shop that pours their heart and soul into their service, but most of all their food. The quality of beef was impeccable. The cuts of meat that were given to us, can only be described as perfection. It was sliced as you can tell was years of craftsmanship behind it. We were celebrating my sisters new job and we had told them that and they went out of their way to make sure it was acknowledged. I really can't say anything else as I was blown away. I will definitely be back to this establishment. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone that appreciates great service and better food !! read more

Food was amazing and portions were generous. Party of 7 had $130 combo, extra order of pork belly, bibimbap. No issues getting more panchan. Service was amazing. Kept drinks half way full at all times. Was not busy on Thursday night at 7-9. read more

Not recommend! One of my friends recommended and we tried. The hot-stone pot was very spicy and fried chicken tasted nothing special. The waiter told us we will be charged for side-dish refill. I mean I don't mind paying for it after spending a lot of money on below average food but that guy was pretty mean and rude. I wouldn't recommend this place. Customer service very bad. read more

Tasty Ko - He said he will charge for this trash if we ask for refill. Seriously? - Korean Near Me - Katy, Texas

Great value for food portion. Delicious noodle options! We've returned several times. Highly recommend the cold, spicy noodles.

1st time trying Korean food and was blown away. Such good food and service. The owner was so sweet and stirred my food so it would taste better. For sure coming back. read more

Can't always go the places you've heard from word of mouth or yourself been to before we searched for a new spot on yelp for Korean bbq and this place was hands down phenomenal. The lady helping us was always checking in on us and asking if we need anything. I don't think I've ever had better rice than this place. Very clean inside and very reasonable in all their pricing. Highly recommend read more

My wife and I came just for Dakgalbi, we even asked if the plate has rice cakes because my wife likes those and they said yes. (It's also in the menu discerption)... we only got 2 pieces of rice cakes in the dish and when we asked about it the only solution they gave us was to buy another plate if just tukboki.... We shouldn't have to other another plate... it should have more than 2 rice cakes. Also its really expensive. We were very unhappy and do not plan to ever come back and wouldn't recomend it to anyone. read more

Awesome Korean right in Katy... they've changed things a bit due to covid so you're eating off disposable plates and drinking out of plastic cups but other than that, amazing. The service is super friendly and they are more than willing to offer suggestions off the menu. Can't wait to go back again soon! read more

I was surprised to see that a good Korean spot lives deep in the heart of Katy. Maybe I need to get out more. Prices are not cheap but are about what you would expect to pay at many other Korean restaurants in Houston. I tried the spicy (not spicy) tofu soup, seafood pancake, and bibimbap with beef. All of the items were delicious and I had plenty to take home. The banchan was really good and I even saw one dish I've never seen before. read more

I will not recommend this restaurant. They have WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE. My husband and I visited this restaurant a few weeks ago because a friend recommended their kimchi soups and bbq. It was delicious.There was only one waiter and he frowned at us when we're ordering food like he's very impatient. I mean the restaurant was not busy at that time as there were only 2 or 3 tables. He was aggressive with the menus, plates, orders and everything. They should train their staff to be a little friendly. We did not come pay money for this kind of service. read more

One of my favorite Korean places in Houston!! Thankfully it's in Katy, only a few minutes from work. The ladies here are always so cute and helpful and check up on you as needed. I've never run out of water or been in need of something. Prices are pretty typical of Korean places and oh so worth it. My favorite is their lunch boxes because their sides are amazing. Super flavorful and unique. Try the Sweet Rice Punch. Sounds weird but is super refreshing and lightly sweet. read more

Delicious, authentic, Korean bbq! We tried the seafood pancake, fried chicken, fish cake soup and tteokbokki for appetizers. All fresh and tasty. The combinations to cook are great and depend on how many people are eating. Their meats are marinated perfectly, side dishes are great, and we're coming back to try the rest of the menu. read more

Authentic homemade Korean food! There are very few restaurants in Katy,Tx that have really good Korean food, but tasty ko is definitely one of them. The owner is very kind and welcoming as well as the waiters and waitresses. I really recommend trying a few different dishes at a time, some of my favorites is the bulgogi japchae, kimchi chigae,Tteok-bokki, and yukaejang. The side dishes vary daily, and are very good. At the end of the meal, they treat you to a small sweet rice punch. They also do carry out, and are very quick to have the food ready. read more

The food was great. We enjoyed the bbq. But when our orders arrived, there was this little server girl bringing orders and an old fat man, whom I believe is also another server, came to our table, shouted at the girl right in front of us for putting all the side-dishes on one side of our table. I mean, we didn't mind at all. We were a big crowd and it was not easy for the girl to squeeze in. After the girl left our table, this old man mumbled stuffs in his language and looked so mad. Later he came back to our table to bring the cart and he was so aggressive. Can't even imagine how the little girl is treated everyday. This man looked mean and mental. They should not accept this kind of behavior. As much as we enjoyed the food, what happened was very disturbing. read more

I'm a regular here and I'm slowly trying to eat other items on their menu. Service as always is friendly and helpful. LA GALBI- marinated beef short rib I prefer this over the boneless beef because of the texture. It's not as chewy as the boneless one. The flavor is on point. It's savory and sweet. The meat is tender and tastes great with a soup. JAPCHAE- stir fried starch noodles with zucchini, onion, carrot, green onion, and marinated beef Not my favorite dish. The noodles were dry and clumped altogether. The flavor just wasn't that great. It was more on the bland side. It was a very simple dish and disappointing. I wouldn't order this again. BUDAE CHIGAE- spicy stew of marinated pork, sausage, kimchi, onion, carrot, zucchini, green onion, spam, cheddar cheese, rice cake, and ramen noodle I really like this because it's so savory and filling. I could taste the kimchi flavor and the best part, it's korean style ramen, but with added ingredients of various vegetables and meats. Everything combined just makes the perfect soup. If only they weren't so far out from where I live, I would come every week, but sadly I can't so I opt for coming once a month. Service and food is consistent for the most part and I'm sure I'll be back. read more

Very disappointing place, I've been to plenty of Korean restaurant too... SUPER stingy with side dishes, stingy with sauces, food tastes average. On the bright side, service was really good and fried shrimp was great too. Overall, will not come back here, might as well go to all you can eat kbbq places in ktown read more

Coming from NJ, we have tons of Korean restaurants and the food is me and my wife's go to favorite when we crave something asian. Definitely tons of Korean spots around but this one is close to the apartment so this was an automatic for us. (Its also right next to a crispy creme. Win-win situation here people) The staff is super friendly and will remember your face if you frequent the establishment often. We like to order their fried chicken which isnt the typical double fried you expect but a more traditional style. Very good with the salt n pepper condiment it comes with. The soups and their hot stone rice bowls are wonderful. We crave it even more when its cold outside. The portions are big for the price you pay and you can't beat the staff. I mention it again cuz their presence is part of the experience. Very warming and friendly. Would go here weekly if we could. read more

Can't say enough great things about this hidden gem. Food is awesome, service is awesome, the owner really is attentive and is appreciative of his customers. Have had great meals here, my secret hideaway when the wife is out of town and I need a meal and don't feel like cooking! The sides are fresh and delectable! My go to place for Korean army stew! read more

1. Service - friendly wait staff. The guys are very tentative, and they made sure our family was well taken care of. This is a-la-carte, so you wait to be seated, order and pay at your table. 2. Price - it depends on what you may order, but our bill came out to $160 for a table of 6 adults. So roughly $26 a person. 3. Ambiance - nice open area with traditional bamboo wall decor and sliding bamboo partitions. There are private rooms available. Dress code here is casual. 4. Food - we've order the TK Combo, Vegetable Jap Chae, Jumbo Shrimps, and Seafood Pancake. The "Seafood Pancake" is a must for every Korean BBQ restaurant I go to. I was impressed and definitely recommend that. "Jumbo Shrimp", 4 pieces for $6.99 was ok. If you're big on shrimp, you may want to order the Shrimp Deluxe instead as it comes with 16 Shrimps. It wasn't very big in my opinion. "Vegetable Jap Chae" is a dish with stir fried sweet-potato-starch-noodles with zucchini, carrots, onions, and green onions. Tasty dish. The "TK Combo" has pre-marinated: boneless beef short ribs, sliced beef, sliced spicy pork, spicy chicken, and pork belly (aka bacon) which comes with side dishes such as kim chi (marinated and fermented cabbages), potatoes, bean sprouts, tofu, and other veggies I can't recall. TK Combo was about $80, but it fed all of us. Totally worth the money! 5. Cleanliness- dining area and tableware all appears clean. No complaints there. This place is as good as it gets. I highly recommend them for Korean BBQ! This place is not located anywhere near Korea-town of Houston. It is a good choice for folks living out in Katy and the west side of town near HWY 99. read more

The food was great, everything tasted pretty good. Service was nice and the restaurant seems like a nice place.

One of a go to restaurant I usually eat at whenever I'm down in the Katy area visiting my aunt. My family and I took my grandma and other aunt visiting from out of town here so we can introduce them to more Korean food and turned out to be a great lunch! I got me a ramen (Shin brand) w/ extra shrimp and rice cakes and it was pretty good despite the medium spicy level even though I asked them to make the broth mild. For their ramen they use instant ones and there an option on which brand you want. I also love their seafood pancake and fried prawns appetizers and their bbq pork belly and pork cutlet is great too especially the sauce for the pork cutlet. At the end of your meal they would give us a small cup of complementary rice juice. Hope to be back soon! :) read more
