Oh wow, this stand alone Korean restaurant was amazing. Set a little bit from asia town, well worth the trip. We had a big party. And this place was able to accommodate us! I could not wait to get the dol sot mushroom bibimbap, and it came out on a hot plate with handles! The rice was so crunchy and everything very flavorful. My friend ordered a seafood pancake for the table and that with the dipping sauce paired so well with my bibimbap. I usually can't finish my dish but this was sooo good, I ate the WHOLE thing. Seriously, it was THAAT good. I could not put my spoon down.
My friend suggested we try this place. I was totally unaware of its existence, and I had yet to try a Korean restaurant in Katy, so I was excited to try it! Upon entering I marveled at how busy they were during the lunch hour. The patrons were mostly Korean, which is always a good sign. An older lady approached as waitstaff and asked if I wanted some barley tea, which I declined. Not a huge fan of it, but it's nice to know they offer it. My dining partner and I shared a seafood pancake for an appetizer! I loved that they brought two separate dipping sauces so we didn't have to share! As for the seafood pancake, texture wise it was incredible! Nice crispy outside with a chewy inside. My only issue with it was it barely contained any seafood at all, which is a shame. The three banchan that we received were all tasty, with the cabbage kimchi being my favorite! I enjoy that it was fresh and not very fermented. We definitely requested a refill. As for my main meal, I ordered the gamja tang which is my go to. It is comprised of pork neck bones and potatoes plus a mess of spring onions, soaking in a nice simmering hot broth. I love the succulent little bits of tendon and meat still clinging to the bone, and honestly I took most of this home so I could gnaw on the tendons attached to the hefty bones like a dirty savage. It was very flavorful. I tried my friend's oxtail soup which was very light with thin slices of oxtail. Overall really nice place that I would consider visiting again.
Korean restaurant right off the frontage road of I10 in Katy- we ordered some typical foods like: Bulgogi- 4/5 Kimchi stew- 3/5- the kimchi was sufficiently sour but it was still lacking some umami flavor I couldn't pin point. For me it was a little too sweet as a base layer after the sour Banchan-1/5- come on guys- the diversity, choices and taste were not there. They did have hot barley tea which was nice.
Absolutely authentic Korean food. The best tteokbokki I've ever had -- my friend and I were battling over the last bits and pieces. The staff is sweet and friendly. I've been been craving cold buckwheat noodles and their Mul Naengmyeon hit the spot. So refreshing. My friend ordered Dakdori-Jeongol (Chicken and Potato Stew). It was served is a sizzling dolsot (stone bowl). If you're looking for delicious food, that will fill your heart and your stomach, I recommend this delicious spot. Easy in and out - plenty of parking, on the Katy Fwy, just west of S. Mason Rd.
To Soc Chon is my favorite Korean restaurant in Katy! The service is excellent, and the staff is always kind, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for all customers. I dine here at least once a month. Bibim Naengmyeon: This is the best bibim naengmyeon in Houston, TX. The chewy buckwheat noodles, made in-house, serve as the perfect companion for the sweet, tangy, and savory gochujang sauce. It's a refreshing dish that helps beat the Texas summer heat. Whenever I'm craving bibim naengmyeon, this is the first place that comes to mind. You can adjust the taste to your liking with the vinegar and mustard provided. Seolleongtang: Their seolleongtang is like a comforting hug in a bowl. It's served piping hot with glass noodles, tender brisket, and a generous sprinkle of green onions on top. It also comes with a bowl of fluffy white rice, which is perfect for soaking up the rich, milky broth. The flavor is deep but not overly salty, and you can adjust it to your taste with the salt and pepper provided. Kongguksu: I tried this for the first time recently after being curious about it for months. The noodles were nice and chewy, and the ice-cold broth tasted like a mix of soy milk and tofu. It had a sweet, savory, and nutty flavor profile. I recommend adding a pinch of salt if you think it's too bland. Kimchi Jjigae: You can't go wrong with a classic kimchi jjigae. The soup had a pleasant tangy kick, and the meat was tender and easy to chew. The kimchi was soft and flavorful, and the slightly firm tofu soaked up all the soup beautifully. This dish is a rice thief. It's so tasty you'll keep reaching for more rice! You'll definitely leave the restaurant feeling full and satisfied. I can't end this review without mentioning their banchan (side dishes). To Soc Chon has the best banchan trio: kimchi, radish kimchi, and pickled cucumbers. They're addictive and pair well with any meal. I love snacking on them while I wait for my food. I highly recommend To Soc Chon if you're looking for a restaurant to satisfy your Korean comfort food cravings!
This is hands down my all time favorite korean restaurant. All of the workers are super nice and friendly. The food leaves me speechless every time I go and eat. This time I got the Budae Jjigae, kimchi pancake, and galbi. Their kimchi pancake and galbi is the best I've ever had! The batter is super crispy and the flavor is amazing. The sauce for the galbi is perfect, I mix the extra sauce in my rice and it's to die for and the meat is so tender. The budae jjigae has so much meat and noodles added and the portion size is enough to easily feed two people. Also even though there is only 3 banchan every single one is so good especially the kimchi radish is my favorite. Sometimes I ask to buy a Togo container of the kimchi radish home because it's that good!
Banchan 5/5 Seafood pancake 5/5 Spicy Cold noodle 5/5 Oxtail soup 5/5 I have been dreaming of finding a diverse selection of Korean food ever since visiting the Koreatown in LA, and I'm glad to have finally being able to taste some of the dishes I have not been able to find in Houston. First, the banchan is absolutely delicious and just spicy enough to give you a good kick. We were able to buy a small tub of their banchan for $10, which while is more expensive than the grocery store options, is totally worth it for a top notch banchan. My highlight was definitely the oxtail soup, a mild soup that I have been searching for months in Houston ever since I first had it in LA and it felt like a warm hug and perfect for a cold day. The spicy cold noodle is also absolutely delicious and totally manageable for someone who doesn't eat a whole lot of spicy food. Overall despite its location in Katy, I am so glad I found this restaurant and can't wait to come back more as the weather is starting to get colder.
Came on a Sunday morning and was immediately greeted and given a table. The atmosphere is very casual and comforting as the servers are extremely sweet and attentive. We ordered the Gamja- Jeongol (the spicy pork neck bone and potato stew) to share and it was plenty of food for 4 people. The stew itself was very hearty with plenty of potatoes and meat, however the broth itself was a bit bland and was not spicy in my opinion. (5/10) The ban chan, however, such as the kimchi, the radish, and the marinated cucumber and zuchini were all very fresh and flavorful (7/10). The service was top tier as the waiters were quick to give us refills of the ban chan and the water when they noticed that we were running out and constantly checked in with my table. I would definitely come back to try other menu items for the stellar service and the homey vibes of the restaurant!
This homey Korean restaurant situated on the opposite side of I-10 from Katy Asian Town is a new favorite, particularly after a long afternoon soaking at the Korean spa. As you'll see from the menu, the specialties are soups, stews, and bibimbap - of what I've tried so far, the intensely rich and meaty gamja-tang is my top pick, each spoonful an addictive volcanic gamble that threatens to singe off your taste buds lest you practice sufficient patience to let the broth cool ever so slightly. If you're dining in, the hot stone bibimbap is worth the upcharge from its regular counterpart - few things in the Katy area are more satisfying than breaking the egg yolk all over gochujang-drizzled crispy rice. The housemade banchan are crisp and perfectly funky - in particular, the cucumber/apple/jalapeno dish was new to me but its sweet and tangy notes were a welcome relief from the fire of other dishes. And don't forget to ask for refills - the attentive and personable ajummas who run the place are more than happy to see you enjoy all the kimchi and pickled radish you can stomach. I'll catch y'all out here next time I decide to take a dip at Spa World!
Comforting spot for a comforting meal. The kimchi smacks hard, both the cabbage and radish. The pickled veggies are yummy too, crunchy and sweet. The seolleongtang has to be my absolute favorite dish. I like to add salt and pepper in there plus some kimchi juice. Idk how else to describe this wonderful dish, but it literally revives me. Love the glass noodles at the bottom and the hearty broth. The employees are so sweet and quick to attend to the needs of their customers. Plenty of seating, and it doesn't get overwhelmingly loud!
Don't let the dates exterior deter you from coming in and enjoying some delicious Korean flavors. Great spice and well developed jigae. This location stands all on its own - south of I-10 which is the other side of Katy Asian Town (north of I-10). Service was friendly. Good came out hot and fresh. Large parking lot - you can park in the rear of the restaurant. I recommend and will come back!
You know the place's legit when you barely see any reviews about it online but it's packed with Koreans inside. Overall, I think their strong point is the various options for soup. I was really excited to have a place specialized in soondae in Katy so I got their soondae soup along with a side soondae. The soondae itself was a bit too gluttonous because the noodles inside are quite thick, but the soup was amazing. Great broth with a variety of protein including soondae. The kimchi here is one of the best I've ever had. Seafood pancake was perfectly seasoned and crispy, but it was mainly pancake with only a little bit of squid inside. Finally, if you decide to go for the bibimbap, I would recommend getting the stone pot even if it's a bit more expensive. We got the regular beef bibimbap and it just wasn't the same without the charred flavor from a hot stone pot. read more
To Soc Chon is located in Katy near its Asian town plaza. Off the highway, To Soc Chon is easy to miss. As someone who was craving authentic Korean food in a calm(ish) atmosphere, To Soc Chon may be your go to. I came here on a Saturday evening. The restaurant on the outside looks like a remodeled iHop and the inside essentially looks the same. I ordered the Bulgogi and Spicy Cold Noodle special. As always, this Korean restaurant has complementary ban chan. The ban chan left a lot to be desired and I wish there were more options available however the kimchi stood out. The bulgogi was nothing spectacular and frankly it's hard to mess up bulgogi so it was my "safe" option. The spicy cold noodles were okay at best. The noodles and consistency were not to my liking and understandably chewy. Not sure what happened here but I have had far better spicy cold noodles and this simply was not up to par with those other locations. Overall, the service was friendly and they are quick to come to your attention if you need anything. However, I don't see myself visiting again soon. read more

honestly kinda confused by the good reviews. maybe we just got the wrong items. the seolongtang and soondae soup was so bland. the soondae also had weird texture and taste. the sides were great and they made the whole meal really but yeah no on the soups besides it being good portions :( service was fine and ambiance is just like any traditional korean place. read more

I went with my coworkers and was no disappointed! The service is super friendly and sweet. All the food was very flavorful and had beautiful colors. All the side dishes were INCREDIBLE. Super flavorful. Super incredible. I was very happy with my cold bibimbap, very yummy. It was a little bit difficult to get there, as I very almost missed the entrance. However, that has nothing to do with them and their quality! I just wanted to let you know to be aware of that while driving there. The ambiance was very nice as well. WOULD RECOMMEND :3 read more

really good spot for classic korean dishes. better than any korean spot across the freeway at asia town. quick service. plenty of parking and cozy atmosphere. galati tang is always on point, same with gamja tang read more
Very authentic Korean restaurant that specializes in soups, stews, and bibimbap! Kimchi is here good, which should be the baseline for any Korean restaurant. Good spice and not too sour. The galbi-tang is comforting and very generous with the meat. LOVED the ox bone soup/seollung-tang. I'm so glad that we have a Korean restaurant that serves solid ox bone soup now as it is one of my favorite Korean dishes. The broth is very rich and soothing to the soul. It's also generous with the beef slices and noodles. Spicy pork soup was underwhelming though, it lacked the depth that the other broths had. It kinda just tasted like red pepper water. Seafood pancake had good flavor and a good amount of seafood, but could definitely have been crispier. I love the interior design of this restaurant. It really reminds me of restaurants that you would encounter in Seoul. read more

Not knowing what to order, upon asking the Server for her recommendation, I was pleasantly surprised with her selection. The dish was de-lish! Flavorful. I maneuvered my chopsticks quicker than a barber snips their scissors. I couldn't stop smiling and laughing while watching a NETFLIX Korean show on the nearby television while listening to lively BTS-esque music from the overhead sound system. Delightful experience :) read more
This restaurant is legit. The servers are Korean and are very friendly. It's in an older building and has a diner feel. All of the food was delicious and piping hot. Even the banchan (the complimentary side dishes) was all yummy. We asked for several refills on the banchan. The soups were spicy and very filling. read more

Y'all!!! I'm so glad I finally went here. I can easily say the food is the best Korean food in Katy! Service was super great and friendly. I seen some complaints about service but for me the food is more important, (like comedians say about pho restaurants: more abusive they are the better the food lol). The owners make fresh soondae every morning and it definitely taste like it, the best I've had in Houston. The restaurant is very family friendly and my kids actually ate more than usual. My husband and I definitely stuffed ourselves. I wish I took better photos but I got way to excited when the food came out. Didn't take photos of half of the other items we ordered. read more

Really delicious meal at a great price. The beef bibimbap was excellent! Side accompaniments were very tasty too. Service was very pleasant and professional. Very clean place. A bit on the stark side for atmosphere, but the food makes up for it. I would definitely return to this place. read more

I took my friend here today for her birthday. We both have had Korean food around Houston for more than half a decade, and this place by far has had the best food we've had in Houston. The service was nice, quick and attentive, and the ambiance felt casual and relaxing. I ate the chicken and potato stew and she had the beef bulgogi stone pot. We also shared the spicy rice cake which was delicious, I just wish the sauce was a little thicker and it was a little spicier, or it'd be nice if they offered spicy levels. I also wish they had black bean noodle and hope that maybe it gets added in the future! The kimchi was also perfect, some of the best I've had. If you love Korean food this place definitely needs to be on your list of places to go to! read more

First of all decor is rather worn and seasoned when you enter, But you are quickly greeted + no charge for hot tea. While waiting you get entertainment 2 different Korean TV channels. Saw PHYSICAL 100 - great show. Best is the Bibimbap. It has everything spinach, cucumber, carrots, bean sprouts, egg, etc...and of course the BEEF. Prices reasonable . Look at the pic below plus endless side dishes. Love that radish kimchi. read more

There is a parking lot with some space, but it can be a bit tight. You probably have to U turn from the grand parkway frontage rd if you're coming in from the east side. It's located right next to the freeway and after hooters if you're coming from the west side. Food: ordered seollungtang, dweji gukbap, and spicy soondaeguk. Out of all three, the seollungtang broth has more flavor. The other two were pretty bland. The spicy soondaeguk had a slight kick but no flavor. I don't like my food too salty, but I had to add a decent amount of salted shrimp for the other 2 items. Not a lot of side dishes too (3). Radish kimchi was not fresh. Service was ok however. Inside is spacious. I wouldn't come back on my own unless I'm really craving seollungtang or if someone wants to eat there. read more

I just returned from an overseas trip to Korea, and I can say that this place has about the most authentic Korean food comparable to the ones I had in Korea! The kimchi, the dumplings, the soup and bibimbap all were amazing! The wrap on the dumplings was just the right thickness to contain the large portions of tasty fillings. The kimchi was so good that I could probably eat it alone with a bucket of rice. The soup, most people say it's too bland, but I think it was just right for you to apply your own creativity on flavoring. I personally placed two pieces of kimchi in the ox tail soup to spice it up a little, but I think the soup by itself was also very refreshing and nutritious. Food aside, the service was also amazing. The moment you walk in, it just feels like you've been transported to Korea. The servers greet you in Korean and will actively look to remove finished plates and bring you your orders in a timely fashion. I was thoroughly impressed with my meal here and will definitely be returning again soon! read more

Lots of parking available, it is randomly placed but close to the Katy Asian mart! Service was great! Only lost a point because I'm Korean and I'm supppperr picky about my cold noodles. Threw me off that the noodle that they use is not the traditional noodles that are used for 냉면. None the less, with lots of vinegar the taste was there! Seafood pancake was a 10/10. Very crispy but not as much seafood in it. However what was in there, was pretty fresh! ( let's be honest, in this economy it's hard). My fiance got the 육개장 which he enjoyed! The ambiance was very lax! Had 2 different dramas playing which was entertaining to watch while we ate! read more

Friendly staff, we had an army stew (부대찌개) and spicy pork stir fry. The stew was amazing in flavor, and I love how it comes in a small serving or you can get a group serving. Still in opening, so definitely be patient. But overall will be back to try the kimchi stew next time! read more

This place is amazing!! The service is great, the servers are super attentive in a good way and the food comes out fast! The food my boyfriend and I got was very good the dumplings were bigger than what i'm used to seeing and they did a decent job at filling us up before our entre. The kimchi stew was great and super filling the side dishes are great and they bring you extra if you run out. This place is great if you want to try korean food and the prices are pretty good for the amount of food you get! read more

Came in on a Friday night. Wasn't too busy. There are booths setup in about 3 or 4 rows. Not mich decoration. Two different tvs playing different Korean shows. I ordered the Galbi $29.99 and seafood pancake $14.99. The beef ribs were mid. Kind of expensive IMO for the quanity, and taste. The seafood pancake was really good read more

First time trying this place & I loved it. It's located in front of a hotel and there is plenty of parking space. It's a cozy spot with maybe 30~ tables mostly catered to parties of 4 or less. The service is spectacular and the aunties who work there are so sweet & really seem to care. For food, I ordered the Army Stew. It came with some banchan & a bowl of rice. Really good & I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for some warm comfort food! read more
