I recently celebrated my boyfriend's birthday here on a Friday night with a party of 8. We were…read moreseated in a private room, which felt like a great start. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill from there. Once we were settled, no one came to take our order. We eventually noticed there was a call button, so we pressed it. When a server finally came in, I felt rushed the entire time...like they were trying to leave before we were even done ordering. Because of that, several items were missed. To make matters worse, we were served old/moldy garlic, and all the cuts of meat were overly thick and tough to eat. On top of that, every time we needed something, we had to press the call button multiple times, usually 3 or 4 times before anyone checks on us. And don't get the hot sake, it's a rip off. Legit 4 small shots for $8.99. Overall, the service and food quality were very disappointing. They probably didn't care to service us because they'll get tipped on a large party regardless. Would I recommend Omi? No thank you... NEXT!

My party of 6 showed up on a Saturday evening and we were sat pretty quickly for it being busy,…read moreabout a 25 min wait. It took a while for our server to come and get our drink orders then a little more for the meat orders. It took her a few trips to get all our drink orders. When we got our initial meat order, the server didn't turn on the second grill. Luckily another server came and I asked him to turn it on for us. I never got my sides that I ordered along with the meats. When we were nearing finishing the first order of meats, we pressed the call button, but nobody came when we waited about 3-4 mins. So we pressed again and nobody came. We pressed it a third time and still nobody came. So after about 10-12 mins of waiting, I walked to the front to ask if I can get my server? The girl at the front proceeded to tell me I need to press the call button. I respond that I did, about 3 times already. So she retorts that "we're really busy today." I understand it's a Saturday evening and it's pretty busy, but in the time that we got our meats and finished it, my server never came to check in on us. The girl then says she'll come by in 2 mins if we still haven't been helped. So I go back and press the button a fourth time. The girl comes in as she promised and took our second meats order and I mentioned that I never got my sides from my first order if she can put that order in for us. About 30 seconds after the girl left, the male server walks in assumingely ready to take our order. I tell him I had the girl in the front take my order because nobody came. He then tells me I needed to press the button. I respond "I pressed the button 4 times now. Nobody came." He goes to press the button to see if it actually works and hears it ding. So he apologizes and changes our very charred grills. Then comes back with our order that the other girl took. We only spent an hour at the establishment, but most of it was waiting. The food was ok at best. There was way too much fat on the galbi. I was left very unsatisfied with the experience. Really, it was the gaslighting about pressing the call button. Sitting here and writing all this out I also realized I added extra tip to my bill and forgot that there's gratuity already added to a big party's bill so they got a really nice tip from me. Hopefully the gratuity gets split among everyone I guess.

Food was good and the meat tasted fresh, which is obviously the most important part of a Korean BBQ…read moreexperience. But nothing to rave about. They bring over some rice to enjoy with the meat with the regular choice. The menu and options are a bit confusing and took some time to understand. The vibes initially felt a little off, especially when we arrived around 9:50 pm--they took a while to confirm whether they would seat us even though they close at 10:30 pm. That said, once we were seated, the experience completely turned around. Our waiter provided some of the best service I've had in a long time--attentive, friendly, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Plenty of feee parking outside.

This was our first time visiting this Korean BBQ restaurant, and unfortunately, it was a very…read moredisappointing experience. From the moment we walked in, the service was poor. We waited quite a while to be seated even though there were plenty of employees around. It honestly felt like we were invisible. After finally being seated, we waited an unusually long time just to receive water. We also made it clear to both the hostess and our waiter that this was our first time at a Korean BBQ restaurant and that we had no idea how anything worked. We expected at least a brief explanation or some guidance on how to cook the meat, what sauces or seasonings to use, or recommendations for beginners. Instead, we were left to figure everything out ourselves. As a result, the food ended up tasting bland and unappetizing because we simply didn't know what we were doing. To make matters worse, no one informed us until the very end of the meal that there would be an additional charge for uncooked meat left on the table. Had we been told this upfront, we would have ordered differently or made sure to finish everything we had. Waiting until the end to mention this felt unfair. Overall, the lack of customer service and communication made what should have been a fun first Korean BBQ experience into a frustrating one. Unfortunately, we won't be returning.

Bon KBBQ is one of my family's favorite spots for Korean barbecue in the Arlington area. Lunch and…read moredinner are all you can eat, so the value is great for the amount of meat you get. 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 brought it to my waiter attended she at first was confused but then let me know that the steam table on the food wasn't working. So definitely decided to server cold food verses just have hot food in the back of house keeping the food hot and bringing it when requested. 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!!! I was already there for an hour waiting. So I got screwed over on the experience. Please do better

There was a point in time where Gold Spoon was the hottest Korean restaurant in Carrollton and…read morecertainly one of the most revered in the state of Texas. It was the epitome of small but mighty, serving up classic high quality Korean dishes in what felt like a pocha style establishment with excellent service. Now that word has gotten out, there are numerous visitors from all over and they've made some slight adjustments that have taken it a notch down for me and others. This includes the hiking of prices (#1) and the introduction of non-Korean staff to appease many non-Korean patrons. The latter has had more mishaps than the previous wait staff, but the mistakes are quickly remedied with swift adjustments. They even updated their awning with a much bolder "금수저" (golden spoon) awning. Food wise, it also feels like there has been a change as well. The soondubu went up a solid $3 and the mandoo fillings have been skimpy as of late. I also feel the banchan has been more limited than the past with only a handful of dishes than the variety from before. I also wish they kept their old late night hours before as well, but that's only reserved for Friday and Saturday. I still think Gold Spoon is worth a visit, but I do long for the version from before and hope they can revert back to how they earned their accoladed in the first place. ___________ (#1) Foodflation back at it again

They were at work with orders, so it seemed like take out was more popular than dining in. We ordered the sweet potato waffle fries and it was yummy. I got the bulgogi bibimbap and it came with miso soup and a lettuce salad with ranch on the side. Seems like a lot of food for the price. The miso soup was good. I wish the lettuce in the salad wasn't so wet and that they tossed it a bit to get rid of the excess water, since it made the dressing watery. The bulgogi had good flavor, but it was big chunks of meat stuck together that I had to cut it up. The teriyaki sauce on the side really helped the dish because alone it lacked flavor. The noodles were ok, but I've had better. Similar review from my boyfriend with his Chicken Teriyaki bibimbap.

The park ended up closing early because of the wind, leaving us with a group of very hungry boys and no plan. Quick Yelp search Scratch Wings popped up with great reviews, so we gave it a shot. Great decision. The spot is small, cozy, and welcoming. Mai, the owner, was super friendly and made us feel right at home. Everyone ordered wings, and my son and I went with the garlic parmesan and Korean spicy. Both were . Perfectly cooked, crispy, and packed with flavor. My only regrets is not taking a picture of my food and not ordering the lemon pepper wet -- that'll definitely happen next time. Pro tip: * Hungry? Get the 6-piece * Starving? Go for the 10-piece If you're anywhere near Arlington and craving wings, this place is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.

The Wet Lemon Pepper wings were packed with bold, buttery citrus flavor and had just the right amount of seasoning. The Korean Sweet & Spicy wings were the star of the meal--crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated in a rich, sticky glaze that perfectly balanced sweetness with a little kick. You can tell the chicken is hand-breaded and cooked fresh. The seasoned fries were hot and crispy, making the perfect side to the wings. Great food, generous portions, and flavors that keep you coming back for more. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. Highly recommend if you're craving some of the best Korean-style fried chicken around!
