    This jewel is an hidden gem. Great customer service and the food is always delicious and the price is reasonable.

    This is a great hidden gem. I had lunch here on a Sunday afternoon and it was not as busy as I thought it would be. The service was very friendly and attentive. The sides are delicious I enjoyed the glass noodles and kimchi. The bulgogi was very tender but my favorite cut was the beef belly with the dark orange sauce they offer. This is a great example of do not judge a book by its cover because the inside is very cute/aesthetic. Overall this is a great AYCE kbbq spot, especially for $29. Parking: plenty of parking in front of the establishment.

    20% off check in on Yelp is no longer valid. 3/5 stars for overall, 4/5 stars for taste. $26 for Basic AYCE, $29 for Full AYCE which includes Basic AYCE AND LA Galbi, Beef Finger Meat, Shrimp, Spicy Shrimp, and Lemon Pepper Shrimp. We did the Full AYCE, which in my opinion was still missing a lot of other protein and side options offered at other KBBQ spots (I'm from California, so for this price and the limited options I was not impressed). The banchan (side dishes) included at the table are lettuce with a basic vinagrette, daikon radish thinly sliced, cucumber kimchi, kimchi, fish cake in a spicy sauce and japchae. All standard, nothing special. They don't offer any other hot sides such as potstickers, fries or even rice paper. With that being said, the proteins we ordered were of high quality and consistent which I appreciated. The beef belly was very good, dip it in the sesame oil and salt! Spicy pork belly was very delicious on its own as well as the hawaiian pork belly. LA galbi and beef finger meat was also delicious, you can't get kbbq without getting LA galbi so the Full AYCE option is the only way you should go to eat here. Half of my friends said the spicy shrimp was really good and the other half said it was too salty. Overall, the service was good and the meat was good quality, they also split the check for you if you ask! But for the price and limited proteins and sides I'd try a different spot before coming back here.

    Phenomenal! Came just before the dinner rush on a Saturday and was seated right away. I've been to a few joints in Los Angeles...the so called "Korean BBQ capital" ....but this spot absolutely was the best I've had. I dont give 5-stars much. But Woo Me is a 5-star gem if there is one.

    I've had so much KBBQ in my lifetime and this place is definitely up there. The price for AYCE is really good and the meat is even better, my favorite was the finger beef. Service was great too - they're very attentive. Maybe the only con is you need a reservation but it's not that big of the deal. Very cozy inside too.

    THANK YOU TO JOEY for a great 1st experience at Woo Mee Ok! This is my friends' go to Kbbq spot, and so I was excited to try. They did not disappoint! We were seated in booths, and it's truly a homey vibe. Joey was our server, and he constantly kept refilling our sides, sauces, and drinks! We opted for the $26 option, and it was enough! We got brisket, beef belly, pork belly, squid, and hawaiian belly for our meats. All great! We also got steamed egg and seafood tofu soup. I really liked the Japchae here--it's not too oily or too sweet like most places. The seafood tofu soup was also good, not too spicy and balanced. Love this place! The service is amazing, and they do not skimp on sides and portions. Great price too! Highly recommend!

    Was craving some Korean bbq and this one was closest to us while visiting Texas. The place doesn't look like much but the wait time was short and the service was excellent. Our waitress was super adorable and helped us with our orders and making sure our bowls of sides were always replenished as well as meat order. The food was delicious. The price was only $25 for all you can eat. An added bonus, they offer military discount too. Would recommend this place . Can't wait to come visit again.

    A super cute little homey restaurant! Very affordable prices. delicious side dishes!! The waiters are exceptional and so so attentive in the best way. The meats themselves are decent but maybe not the best in town. But super great deal for the price and hits the spot when that kbbq craving strikes!

I do think prices were slightly on the higher end and service was a little slow, but again, given the circumstances, I personally did not mind. There is an impressive selection of banchan that could almost be a full meal in itself. They were all very fresh and high quality. I ordered the galbi and spicy cold noodles. The galbi came on a sizzling plate. It was tender and flavorful. However, it was expensive, at almost the same price of dinner AYCE KBBQ. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy cold noodles, not because it was bad, but more so due to personal preference. The portion size was very generous though. My family ordered the shrimp fried rice and bulgogi quesadilla. The fried rice was very solid; it had good flavor, texture, and they nailed the portion of vegetables, protein, and rice. The bulgogi quesadilla was also delicious and I appreciate the creativity. The combination of bulgogi, japchae, and cheese might sound sacrilegious to some, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

When I walked in, the place was empty. I stood at the "Please wait to be seated" sign for way longer than necessary--especially since there were no other customers. I finally peeked in and saw two employees busy counting receipts and money at the register. (Bad Impression #1). After being seated, I was actually enjoying the music until I felt something sticky on my forearm. It was a stray bean sprout left on the table (Bad Impression #2). To make matters worse, the tables are incredibly low. Even at my height, I had to hunch over the entire time. I eventually gave up on table manners and just held the rice bowl up to my face to eat comfortably. Regarding the food: it was a bit salty. The kimchi fried rice was average, but the kimchi stew really missed the mark. That was the moment I realized this is a fusion spot, not authentic Korean. It wasn't horrible, but it's definitely different from the real thing. BUT, can we talk about the massive portions? (Good Impression #1). Everything is clearly meant to be shared. The service was actually good. They have a buzzer on the table for service, which I loved. It saves you from having to track down a waiter. (Good Impression #2). The ambiance is loud, poppy, and "hip." You better like K-pop if you're coming here. It's not a first-date spot because it's hard to hear each other, but it's a solid place to hang out with friends who like the genre. Will I come back? Not actively. But if someone else suggests it, I won't fight them on it.

    JOA Grill stands out as one of the top Korean BBQ experiences in Dallas, delivering a modern,…read moreupscale-yet-approachable take on classic table-side grilling in the heart of Koreatown. The restaurant shines with its premium, high-quality meats--sourced thoughtfully, including standout options from 44 Farms--carefully selected and prepared by Michelin-recognized chefs. Whether you go for the popular Taste of JOA (Signature or Premier boards) or individual cuts, the beef and pork options consistently impress with rich marination, perfect tenderness, and that satisfying sizzle on the grill. Popular favorites that reviewers rave about include the marinated bone-in short rib (galbi), prime short rib, ribeye, hanger steak, pork belly, and specialties like flash-fried short ribs or shrimp. The meats arrive beautifully presented, cook evenly at the table, and deliver deep, savory flavors--often described as juicy, flavorful, and reminiscent of authentic home-style Korean cooking elevated with premium technique. Sides (banchan) are a highlight: fresh, generous, and "unreal" according to many, with standouts like mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, steamed egg soufflé, corn cheese, kimchi fried rice, and soybean paste stew (doenjang jjigae) that round out the meal perfectly. The experience wraps up sweetly with ice cream for a complete, shareable feast ideal for groups or celebrations. The atmosphere enhances everything: lively, stylish, and vibrant with a sleek, modern interior featuring neon accents that feels fun and energetic without being overwhelming--perfect for date nights, family gatherings, or special occasions. Service earns frequent praise for being attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, with staff guiding first-timers through the grilling process. Cocktails and drink towers add to the festive vibe, pairing beautifully with the smoky, savory food. Nuances and considerations: Pricing reflects the premium ingredients and experience (Taste of JOA runs around $42-$54+ per person, with upgrades for A5 Wagyu or larger parties), so value opinions vary--some see it as worth every penny for the quality and fun interactive element, while others note it can feel a bit higher-end for casual dining. A few reviews mention occasional inconsistencies in service pacing during busy times or subtle variations in ambiance depending on the crowd, but the majority describe it as consistently enjoyable and welcoming. Portions work best when shared, and the interactive grilling adds a social, hands-on layer that many love (bring a group to maximize the fun). Note that as of recent updates, the restaurant has been temporarily closed--check their website, social media, or call ahead for current status before planning your visit. Overall, JOA Grill excels at blending tradition with innovation: fire-kissed premium cuts, abundant flavorful sides, creative cocktails, and a lively yet comfortable setting make it a standout choice for anyone craving high-quality Korean BBQ in Dallas. It's frequently called one of the best in the city for good reason--great for meat lovers, groups, and those seeking an elevated yet fun dining adventure.

    Took me a while to write this, but I came back here because I had a good dinner here and decided to…read moredo a Korean bbq closer to my home. We were even greeted with a welcome back and given a welcome back coupon, which I loved, so the night started out well. Now for context to my frustration, last time we went here, our server cooked everything, so we only came back because we wanted to go to a Korean bbq specifically where they cooked the meat for you as well. Apparently, that isn't the norm. We ordered drinks and then waited a substantial amount of time before the servers came back to ask for our food order. Literally the table next to us ordered before us and we're basically near the end of their meal before we even ordered. Mind you, we were seated right in the thick of where the servers go in and out of the kitchen and you can see everything going on (or lack of anything). Drinks took forever to come and they started cooking one of the meats and then never came back. They kept walking past our table and not saying anything. We had to tell them that we needed help and asked if someone was going to cook for us. They apologized and would start cooking again only when we complained, but then would proceed to leave and not come back until we asked again. They kept giving us excuses that they were short staffed, which is understandable, but not when we can see them literally doing nothing about it. There was no sense of urgency or trying to work harder since they were understaffed. They would stand at the little computer at the door to the kitchen looking like they were doing something, while the rest of the restaurant was being ignored. We mentioned to them multiple times that we were being ignored and they offered to take care of us with dessert or maybe comp something at the end. At this point, I'm quiet because I'm visibly annoyed by the incompetence and got to the point where I didn't even want to talk to the staff anymore. I kinda have RBF, so I know they were feeling my frustration. We were almost done eating and were waiting for them to start cooking the shrimp, which was the last meat on our combo, and the server came by and asked if we wanted the check. I was like, "we aren't even done eating, we were waiting for someone to cook the shrimp." Now if they initially told us that we would be cooking, this all wouldn't be a problem, but we were under the impression that they would cook our food, which was the root of the entire service problem we were having. Finally, they came by with desserts that were on the house, even though I really wanted them to just comp something instead, but they didn't give us the option. We didn't even want dessert, but were forced to eat it because they felt it was a good solution to the problems with service. They even asked if we wanted a shot on the house, but I didn't want to drink alcohol that night, and when I refused, they teased me about it. It's my business if I want to drink or not, but don't assume everyone thinks alcohol solves everything. That left a sour note in my mind and sealed the deal that we won't come back. For how expensive this restaurant is, they need to have top tier service, and this was not it. I suggest you stay away!

Before the main event, we got the seafood & green onion pancake. Crispy on the outside and reasonably chewy interior. Good amount of seafood; in particular, the oyster stood out. It was also a nice portion that was ideal for sharing. I opted for the seafood soondubu. Everything, from the banchan to the specific side dishes served with the soondubu, came out not too long after ordering. I got it at spice level three which I thought offered the right amount of kick without being too overwhelming (I also like to think I have a pretty strong spice tolerance). It had a good variety of seafood; namely, the shrimp and oyster. I'm not the biggest fan of clams but they were definitely still tasty. The tofu was soft and silky. The yellow croaker and rice were great supplements to the dish. The rice perfectly absorbed the broth. The croaker added a nice crunchy break from everything. The banchan was pretty standard in my opinion - still, a great complement to the soondubu. Last but not least - service was attentive and quick. I will definitely be coming back at some point!

The restaurant had plenty of space, but service was still super fast and efficient anyway, which I loved. What I love about Chodang is that the food is stellar and such good PORTIONS. Knowing this, I still opted to order a Combo Special because the thought of having leftovers for the next day sounded great to me. I ordered the Kimchi Tofu Soup with Beef Bulgogi, and it was delicious. I usually order my soups at the Spicy level, which I would say has a kick and flavor but never leaves me panting for air or water. As someone who likes spice, I wouldn't say it's very spicy, but definitely flavorful. Beef Bulgogi is one of my favorite dishes, and this place's version does not disappoint. The meat is tender and has a good balance of sweet and salty. My friends also ordered Combo Specials with a Tofu soup and the Korean bbq ribs, and Spicy Pork Bulgogi. One of these friends opted for the medium spice level, which I would say is a safe choice for everyone, especially if you're worried about something being too spicy. All soups come with Korean side dishes, a whole grilled yellow croaker fish (delicious but lots of bones), and a hot stone bowl of rice. Nothing missed!
