As regular patrons of hot pot for date night, bf and I decided to try this place. I'll sort by pros and cons as I see it related to other hot pot places we've had: PROS: - Hot pot and BBQ grill at the same time for the same price! Great value there - Fairly large vegetable/noodle/etc bar - Waiters were incredibly attentive - All meats tasted high quality CONS: - No true "sauce bar"--I kind of tried to replicate my usual combo using the salad supplies and sauces - The meats are clearly made for either the grill or the pot 80% of the time with very few that can do both. For example, pork belly (grill) is different from THIN pork belly (pot). Beef belly worked best in the pot. Chicken worked best on the grill. Etc - Beef broth I got for my hotpot was decent but worse than most pork bone broths I default to For the same price as Seapot, I'd still personally prefer Seapot. But I think this place does best a lot of competition like Nan and Hai Di Lao. Give it a try for sure. read more

Woomeeok Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

Love Woomeok! It's a little bit of a hole in the wall but the KBBQ is so good. I'm a huge fan of the beef bulgogi - it's absolutely perfect every time. I never quite make it through the hot pot because I'm always too full from all the meat and rice, but if you can somehow make room for it, it's totally worth it. This place might not look like much on the inside, but don't let that fool you - the food is incredible. It's one of those hidden gems that makes you feel like you're in on a secret. Definitely my go-to spot when I'm craving Korean BBQ. If you're looking for amazing KBBQ and don't mind a no-frills atmosphere, Woomeok is your spot!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Good food and hot pot for a cheap price. The meat isn't the highest quality you'll get but it's still good for the price you're paying and it's all you can eat. They also have a ramen bar that you can choose from to cook in your hot pot. The service is also good they made sure to check up on us to see if we need any more food or drinks. read more

Fantastic experience here. We had dinner on a Sunday evening and made a reservation in advance. We were seated immediately, and the options were explained and we made our meat and hot pot choices. They also have a a food bar with various noodles and accoutrements for the meat. And they bring rice to the table along with sauces, fish cakes, kimchi, and pickles. It was a lot of fun to cook the meat with the kiddos and everything was fresh and delicious. Customer service was friendly and the place itself has a relaxed ambience. Will definitely return the next time I'm in the area. read more

Dangerous Conditions & Disrespectful Staff Behavior: I slipped and almost fell, my sister slipped hard (now sore in her arm and shoulder), and her husband slipped near the same area. My mother, who is handicapped, was with us, and no one showed concern for her safety. To make matters worse, two employees laughed at my sister instead of helping. Later, another guest fell in the same spot. My sister has a delicate history of back and leg nerve issues, so this was no small incident. The restaurant offered about a $13 discount -- which felt dismissive given the circumstances. We truly hope management takes responsibility, repairs the leaking fans, and trains their staff to handle safety concerns respectfully. We will be communicating with the Better Business Bureau this week if these leaks and hazards are not immediately addressed. This is a fair warning -- we just don't want anyone else to get hurt. Please be careful when attending this establishment. Food was not bad, the service and concern of staff was horrible. read more

My friend had their birthday dinner here and it all went very smooth! There is a buffet you can choose from for hot pot and kbbq, and you can also get fried rice and dumplings there! The service was pretty good, and the decor was really nice! read more

Part of me doesn't want to write this review because it was good and the price was right. But the business owner needs people to keep the lights on too. Came here with my wife and two kiddos last week and I loved it. The meat was hands down, great quality meat for the KBB and the hotpot was great too, the mushrooms, clams, mussels, and all the other vegetables were amazing tasting after I added a few more ingredients. Coming from SoCal, you miss some of the tastes from home. This place reminded us of the mom and pop KBB place in the valley and the whole family liked it. Our server was super patient and answered all our questions about how to do the hotpot experience correctly. Will definitely be coming back. Best quality with great price for the AYCE. Only thing I would say that could be worked on is the floor is a bit slippery...nudge nudge. read more

We went for an early Mother's Day Lunch here this past Saturday. This place opened as Fusion Kitchen, then, new owners took over and change the name to Woo Mee Ok Korean BBQ four months ago. This AYCE Korean BBQ Restaurant is the only authentic K BBQ in the Metroplex area as far as I'm concerned. The meats are fully freshly marinated, sliced properly and fast to grill. The meats are moist and soft once grilled, it's delicious. LA Kalbi is the best and so as their Bulgogi. The Hotpot with beef broth is sooo good, I won't forget the taste of it. Serving staff, Shaiyen (I think) is friendly, helpful and had patience with our 4 grandkids that made a mess. Lots of parking, has outdoor patio dining and clean and well decorated indoor Korean BBQ Restaurant. Will be back again soon to try their Hawaiian Pork and other meats. read more

Woomeeok Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Food we ordered - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

ive been to this restaurant i believe 3 times and ive loved it everytime. the glass noodles are delicious, the beef bulgogi is tender and well flavored. And if you ever do the hot pot, I'd recommend doing half regular beef broth and spicy beef broth. read more

Got the regular order without the premium. I liked how you can mix the food to either cook in the hot pot or on the grill. Condiments was good, and service was on point. I liked the beef belly, bugolgi, but the brisket was a bit tough. The salad bar had a good amount of options for the hot pot. Parking is good. The tables & floors were clean, but overall hoods and light fixtures could use a little TLC. read more

Was skeptical coming here at first! Tried it when it was Fusion Kitchen and never came back due to the poor quality of food. Saw reviews about new management and decided to give it another try! Came on a Wednesday around 2pm, it took around 10-15 minutes for us to get seated despite there only being 1 other table. Seemed that there was only one server working. Service was forgettable but no complaints other than the wait. $25 lunch special for BBQ + hot pot was a steal! Hot pot selection is very basic, but fulfills the craving. Broths (we got shoyu & spicy) were bland, but improved when we used the sauce bar to add more flavor. Was surprisingly impressed with the KBBQ meat quality... Bon (Plano) and Yoon (Carrollton) are usually our go to spots but recently the LA galbi in particular has been overly fatty & under seasoned at these places. The LA galbi here was way better than expected! Good quality for the price, flavor was mild at first bite but grew as you keep eating. We also tried the beef belly & pork belly, these were good but tbh I rarely ever complain about these cuts of meat anywhere lol. Finger meat was well marinated, but some pieces were too cartilagey for my liking. The pieces of pure meat that I did get were yummy though What the other reviews have said about the floor is true though- very greasy and slippery in there!! Overall, while not the most authentic experience, it's a great option for the price considering you get both KBBQ & hot pot. I think it's a good place to go to satisfy your craving if you aren't willing to break the bank or travel to Carrollton to get your fix. read more

Hostesses couldnt explain the concept or menu when I asked and let both know we'd never eaten here before. Im sure this was a "cultural" misunderstanding. None-the-less, it was frustrating and should have be my que to leave. Consider this a warning-This is concept is very similar to Ginghis Grill except you will cook your own food at the table-side gas grill. For approx $26/pp, you select 3 flavored meats (beef or chicken; theres an upcharge for seafood $29/pp) and it is brought to the table raw and you cook it yourself. You can order more meat as many times as you like. For your hot pot, you also choose up to 3 broths and go to the salad bar to grab veggies to add to the hot pot to cook. A lot of work if you're tired and didnt feel like cooking, which is what we were on this Saturday night after all afternoon at the zoo. The food is good, no doubt but YOU are the labor. Here is why I will NEVER return to this concept again. I asked for to-go containers and the kind gentleman told me they don't have to-go containers for the hot pot and if I wanted to take the uneaten meats, the container would be $5. For THAT alone, I should've given them 1 star. If you go, take your own plastic wear because you will be stuffed from all the "soup". read more

We went on a Monday during dinner at 6. Fusion kitchen is always my favorite low key Korean barbecue spot around. They have a wide variety of selections of meats and hot pot options that doesn't cost an arm and and a leg. Probably like $24.99 plus tax for both the hot pot and kbbq! I know some folks have bad experiences here, but not me. It's always been near perfection for me. There's always a gentleman in the kitchen cutting up the beef chuck and beef brisket, so it's always coming out piping fresh. Something about him cutting it on the spot and then putting it on the line gets me. We got the combo kbbq and hot pot for today. The hot pot comes in three different flavors. Mild, Sichuan, and tom yum is what I'm thinking the flavors were. All pretty good. For the kbbq meats, you always gotta start off with the beef brisket and beef chuck. It's fast to cook, great tasting, and fresh. All the meats that we ate today were really good. Don't forget that the LA galbi is towards the rice pot which is sometimes hidden from people. All the ingredients were really good and the employees in the back of the line kept it stocked. Our server was working by himself, but he was great. Server changed the grill twice, refilled out hotpot, drinks were refilled. Overall, still one of my favorite spots to go to. Plus they have great drinks specials as well read more

Back in November, I visited Woomeeok Korean BBQ in Plano, TX, and let me tell you--this place is nothing short of spectacular. The moment I walked in, I was hit with the smoky aroma of sizzling meat and the lively buzz of diners enjoying their feast. The place was 완전 꽉 찼어요 (completely packed), and for good reason--this is hands-down one of the best Korean BBQ experiences I've had. The Ambiance: Woomeeok perfectly balances modern sophistication with a welcoming, warm vibe. The tables are equipped with high-tech smokeless grills, and the décor blends sleek wood accents with a cozy, upscale feel. Even though it was a full house that night, it didn't feel cramped or chaotic. Instead, the lively energy added to the overall experience. The crowd was a mix of families, friends, and date-night couples, all enjoying the shared experience of grilling and eating together. The vibe here screams 정 (jeong)--that feeling of connection and togetherness that Korean culture embodies so well. The Food: Now, onto the most important part: the food. Woomeeok doesn't mess around when it comes to their meats. We went with one of their combo platters, which came with 갈비 (galbi, marinated short ribs), 삼겹살 (samgyeopsal, pork belly), and 차돌박이 (chadolbaegi, thinly sliced brisket). Each cut of meat was high-quality, fresh, and beautifully marbled. Grilling the meat at the table was half the fun. The 갈비 was sweet, savory, and perfectly tender, practically falling apart in my mouth. The 삼겹살 was crispy on the edges but juicy in the center--exactly how it should be. And the 차돌박이 cooked in seconds, delivering that melt-in-your-mouth experience I can't get enough of. Every bite was pure 맛있다! (delicious!). The 반찬 (banchan, side dishes) were just as impressive. The 김치 (kimchi) had the perfect level of spice and tanginess, the 콩나물 (bean sprouts) added a crunchy freshness, and the 계란찜 (gyeranjjim, steamed egg) was fluffy and comforting. Honestly, I could've filled up on just the side dishes alone--they were that good. The Drinks: What's a Korean BBQ night without some 소주 (soju)? We ordered a bottle and did it the traditional way, pouring shots for each other. If you haven't mixed 소주 with beer (소맥, somaek), you're seriously missing out. It's a combo that pairs perfectly with the smoky richness of BBQ. For those who aren't into soju, they also have a solid beer and cocktail selection. The Service: Despite how busy the place was, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive and friendly, checking in frequently to adjust the grill, bring more 반찬, and make sure everything was just right. One server even taught us how to layer the perfect 쌈 (ssam, lettuce wrap): meat, rice, 쌈장 (ssamjang, dipping sauce), and a slice of garlic. Pro tip: follow their advice--it was a game-changer. The Crowd: The crowd was clearly made up of regulars and first-timers alike, all enjoying the lively, communal atmosphere. The energy was infectious, and it was impossible not to have a good time. If you've never been to a packed Korean BBQ spot, Woomeeok is the perfect introduction to that vibrant dining culture. Final Thoughts: Woomeeok isn't just another Korean BBQ spot--it's a place that elevates the experience to something unforgettable. From the high-quality meats to the impeccable service and electric atmosphere, this restaurant delivers on every level. Whether you're new to 한식 (hansik, Korean cuisine) or a seasoned fan, Woomeeok will leave you full, happy, and already planning your next visit. read more

Woomeeok Plano, formerly Fusion Kitchen (FK), just opened along US75. We've been to FK many times and considered it decent quality. I've also been to the Dallas/Garland location of Woomeeok and liked it a lot, so this was kind of a no-brainer for us. While the price is now higher ($29), we feel the quality is also better. The hotpot is a bit of an afterthought with few meats but a decent selection on the buffet. The KBBQ meats were excellent, and there was a larger variety than at FK. Long story short, we enjoyed it and will be back! read more

I tried making a reservation online but it was declined. We got there on Saturday around 7pm and the wait was about 20 minutes. The service and food options were good. I think this place is one of the best pricing for all you can eat kbbq and hotpot. You even get to chose 3 different types of broth for the hotpot. read more

The food was decent for korean bbq as the quality of the meat was not great. Too much fat in the galbi and not great cuts compared to other similar kbbq restaurants nearby. The service was good, not amazing attentiveness but it was busy and can understand the struggle! The restaurant got pretty crowded so loud ambiance. Overall, below average experience. Didn't hate it, but I did not love it. I probably wouldn't come back. I think there needs to be an increase in quality of meat! read more

I thought I give this a try today... and I was kind of sad. I don't know if it's because it's a weekday, but the selection they had for their hot pot did not compare to Seapot across the way. I tried to like it , but even their meat selection was also mediocre : / The only one thing I liked was cool was, they had cheese corn. Their service was good. The girls were nice and sweet. But I don't think I'll return . read more

Woomeeok Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Cheese corn - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've always loved this place, past tense. The foods great and the variety is awesome but most importantly it was convenient that I could get up and get my own food in the portion size I wanted. They took that away, you can now only order 4 meats at a time like a traditional place and the staff still stand around talking to one another which was fine before cause I could go get my food but now I need to flag them down. The concept of this place was what made it special and it shouldn't have changed in my opinion read more

Woomeeok Korean BBQ & Hot Pot - Menu - Korean Near Me - Plano, Texas

The service was quick and friendly. This is the first time we have gotten grill tips on how to best cook the ingredients. The recipes have changed from previous management to the new ones from Woomeeok. No longer serve yourself protein. It's not a big deal, though, since the service was so good. Hot pot broths are normal. Slightly under seasoned. Pro tip is to go to the seasoning sauce area and amp up the flavor to your liking. We might be back, but we live right behind Woomeeok. read more

Definitely my favorite place to go for kbbq!!! The food is super delicious, the price is really awesome, and the servers are super sweet! I used to go to the one in Dallas all the time, but personally I like this one is a lot better because you have more options. :D read more

First time @ Woomeeok! Usually my test to a good Korean BBQ are my boys. They loved it! The pork belly was on point! The hot pot kimchi soup was delish...so were the Tom yum and beef soup. Good quality of meat and best of all their staff were all courteous! We will be back read more

I've been coming here for a million years and I love how much it has evolved.

Lots of meat and seafood options that just keep coming. read more

Great visit last week! The wait is a bit long (hint-they take reservations) but the food was well worth it! I love hot pot and the hubs likes Korea Bbq, so this place gets both our votes! The kimchi was excellent, as was the spicy hotpot. Added some noodles, veggies and more spice and it was divine!! They also bring a a bowl of frozen beef to put into the soup. Hubs enjoyed the bbq- especially the spicy shrimp. It is a bit noisy- the music was a tad too loud which made everyone talk louder, but not unbearably so... We will not hesitate to return!! read more

Found this place a couple weeks ago and have been there twice so far. We Love it! The service is warm and friendly and helpful. The food is awesome and the hot pot is delicious. Great price for all the food you can eat. Bulgogi is amazing. Def coming here from now on. Love it. read more

delicious food and some of the best service i've ever had from a kbbq restaurant, most places are slow and try to skimp on meats but this place took initiative and constantly filled us up. The price ($26/person for regular AYCE) is very reasonable and the ban chan was fresh. My friend said the rice was a bit dry but who goes to kbbq for rice? 100% will be coming back! read more

I am torn between 3 or 4 stars. If I could, I'd give it a 3.5 stars Meat selection - they have a big meat selection. Galbi, steak, ribeye, pork belly. Dessert - only coffee mousse cake and coconut mousse cake available. No fruits were available. Floor was a little slippery I don't know why. Service was OK, waitress kept coming to change the grill, took off dirty plates and refilling water. We picked only BBQ for $22/person. The thing was, their fire wasn't that big. I couldn't get my meat burnt, and I like my meat burnt. That was a big thing to me. Secondly, their sauce selection was lacking. I wish they have their own signature sauce like Gyu-kaku or offer more sauces like Gen. This is a major minus for me. read more
