“I wish I would give this place 10 stars. The food was amazing and staff were super nice! Definitely will be going back 🤤“

“Staple in Koreatown area of Houston off of Longpoint. You can cook yourself at the table or have them prepare the food for you. The seafood pancake is great and all the various grilled meats. Goes without saying they have all the usual side dishes and they are all quite tasty.“

“Wonderful K lounge in the north west/spring branch area of Houston. Great food, fun atmosphere and an owner who truly cares if you have a good time. Don't pass up this spot if your looking for korean food or karaoke. Great soju bombs also 👌“

“Interesting menu choices & delish dides. I picked a mild spice level & it was perfect. Nice staff & easy to locate. Good value too.“

“had them today for the first time I must say The taste was sublime“

“LOVED IT HERE!!!! We went on a Tuesday around 1pm and there was NO ONE there. As soon as we walked in the man at the front gave us a warm welcome. I loved his enthusiasm to help us and his warm personality. We got the seafood pancake and the jajjamyeon. We got our food quickly and everything was SO fresh. The portions were perfect for sharing. The jajjamyeon (my absolute fav) was so delicious as soon as I took the first bite I knew we would be coming here again. I don’t normally lean towards seafood but my partner loves seafood. I took a bite and wow! It was crispy, chewy in the inside and didn’t have an overly fishy flavor. The banchan was a close favorite for me. The kimchi was the perfect amount of funk for me and the crunch was lovely. Definitely recommend people to come here. 10/10!!!!!“

“We ordered the spicy galbi wings, galbi wings, Cole slaw, sweet potato fries, fried dumplings. This was our first time eating at this location. We’ve eaten at bbq Korean chicken in Austin, Katy, and in the Houston area. Their wings never fail. You can taste their freshness (not the reheated taste)and they are served hot. They’re crispy and the galbi sauce is delicious. The sweet potato fries could’ve been crispy and less burnt. The fried dumplings had great taste and they were fried just right! And oh!! They have Soju!!🥳“

“First time trying chilantro bbq and it was superb! Food was fresh and delicious! We will return.“

“I came to YukDaeJang one evening near closing time. The employees didn't look like they want to serve me. There were a couple of tables of customers there. But they probably had a long day. I don't blame them. Food was ok. The waitstaff took wrong order. But it's ok.“

“I didn't know korean corn dogs / egg sandwiches were a thing but I do now.“

“Newbies to Korean BBQ. The CHEF was AMAZING!! Not only did he come over to our table, he cooked all of our food on the hot plate and explained all the food, flavors and how to cook it ourselves next time. Best experience I’ve had in awhile eating out!“

“Saw all of the amazing tasty food on Facebook and bookmarked it;made the trip with my girl and what else can I say.I WAS AMAZING!!!THE BEST!!!!!! The guy that rang us up was also very helpful with our selections!!!!“

“We had such a great time here!! The young lady who prepared our food was so awesome I forgot to take off the ketchup up on the moz and sausage she happily just re made them ❣️ And the dirty tots 😁 sooo good it was such a warm experience for a cold rainy day🎉⭐“

“Everything was really good“

“Best Doggg ive ever had!!!“

“This place has become one of my most favorite Korean restaurants in town. They have the best jjampong (spicy seafood noodles) out of all the places I've tried. Their sweet and sour beef is so so good; it is also a must-try. Their tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) is also really good but mine was soft. I'm fine with that but some people prefer it to be chewy. The portion was huge but it was so good we basically cleaned the plates. The owner saw how well we ate and she smiled so happily. Their barley tea was also a nice touch.

The restaurant is pretty small but clean; it feels very homey. I hope they get more business because they deserve it.“

“Good afternoon everyone! We attended Gen Korean BBQ House in Houston, Tx on Friday 7/5/2023. My family And I were in for a visit from Louisiana and decided to eat here for a couple of reasons; Reason 1: My daughter and I have a very severe allergy to Iodine/Seafood so we're very very limited to what we can eat but with Korean BBQ we can pick out meats and safely cook it on a grill that hasn't been exposed to any seafood products! Reason 2: We don't have very many, if any Korean BBQ spots in Lake Charles, La and we absolutely love this food. So we chose to go to Gen Korean BBQ but to our surprise our hostess/waitress was Extremely rude! not just once or twice but, throughout the whole dining experience! My fiance requested another waiter or waitress after speaking to the manager but nothing was done besides him saying he would speak to the rude waitress, that's unacceptable so we quietly left! I'm not sure if she was having a bad night or this is generally how she acts but where I'm from this is not acceptable and speaks volumes about her character!“

“Attentive staff. Great variety.“

“It's a great place for a potluck, and the place is clean😀“

“We placed an order that was delivered. BBQ wings were the best I have ever had coast to coast. The rest of the meal, bowls and noodles were awesome. This was are first visit but won’t be the last.“

“This was a disappointing eating experience. The food flavors were OK. The banchan was average.

The service was slow and there is a need for us to cause the bring them over through the call button and bang for buck.

There is ample parking.

The location is clean in the interior.
I’d recommend going to a different Korean restaurant in town. I will not be returning.“

“Korea House is a beautiful restaurant with nice ambience. The restaurant is great to accommodate any size of group. Party of 2, 4 or 8+. You name it. They can sit you. Many open tables in the hall and private rooms with door. They even have a banquet room for huge party. Korea House provides an authentic atmosphere & experience with amazing Korean dishes. Their sides (banchans) are all very yummy and the abundance of it makes you wonder how they keep bringing more & better dishes! I love their AYCE bbq as much as a variety of lunch specials. Korean restaurant is not just about galbi or bulgogi. Try their soups or ssambab set which includes a choice of meat, stone pot rice, a humongous amount of fresh lettuce/leaves/herbs/cabbage with soup & many sides. Ssambab set will shock you with amount of food they serve and impress you with wonderful tastes!“

“first time here and we had a great service and the staff is very friendly Definitely worth coming back to.“

“Best noodles ever. Also a unique garlicky kimchi.“

“Hands down my favorite Korean bbq place! The staff is friendly and the food was awesome.“

““Overall, my experience was thoroughly enjoyable. The service was marked by a genuinely friendly and attentive waitress who contributed to the welcoming atmosphere. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted and delivered with balanced, tasteful flavors. It’s a charming spot that I would confidently recommend to anyone looking for a pleasant and satisfying dining experience.“

“My review will be somewhat biased because I’ve been coming here for years with my Dad since it’s so close to work and it’s relatively unknown. It’s a no frills restaurant/convenience store. The original owner used to cook all the dishes herself but with age, she’s trusted the restaurants to her stewards who have been with her for decades. They’ve done a great job continuing the cooking technics and quality of taste. The kimchi is still made fresh in-house as are all their banchan. I’ve had everything on the menu but never took pictures. Their braised short ribs are so succulent. Their jjampong, although not filled with as much seafood as in the past, is still solid and the taste is nostalgic for me. Spicy yet flavorful. All their dishes are solid. Still a favorite of mine, when I need a quick and home cooked meal.“

“When shopping we have stopped in to grab a bite to eat a few times & enjoyed it each time. The bulgogi bbq, tteokbokki & mandu are all pretty good. They are a little pricey but not so pricey that we won't order, haha. Tasty snacks.“

“Great vibes and great service! Our waiter Timmy and a female waitress were both attentive and personable, they made sure we were taken care of. The owner was also there and made sure everything was taken care of when it came to our visit. Highly recommend this place!“

“The fried chicken was delicious! I also loved the tteokbokki! I highly recommend Krisp Korean Fried Chicken.“

“Man was this place a pleasant surprise! My wife's turn to pick the restaurant and picked here. I'm honestly not a fan of most Korean food. So we order the seafood pancakes, spicy chicken bulgolgi, and kimchi. All three were 5 out of 5! The seafood pancakes were full of seafood and was crunchy and fresh, delicious! Might be my new favorite restaurant!“

“Great environment! I came for my graduation celebration with friends, and I really liked how much room I had to calmly eat and just enjoy being out of high school. Food was good, ice cream was great, the staff was kind and patient!“

“Our lunch at Jumma in Houston was a delightful experience. The fish katsu was perfectly crispy, and the chicken katsu was equally satisfying. The Bulgogi Rice was a standout, with flavorful marinated beef. The staff were attentive and helpful, enhancing our enjoyable meal.“

“Great food. Friendly staff.“

“The food is made fresh and sooo good. Been here a few times and always good. The portion of boneless is a bit bigger than the bone in and had some ttottbokki with it. I highly recommend the sweet and spicy, it tastes like gangjeong chicken!“

“The dishes are adequate, delivering a satisfactory dining experience without excess. Its greatest advantage lies in its location within H Mart, allowing for a seamless transition from meal to market shopping. Overall, the experience is pleasant and convenient.“

“Have been here for several times! Food is legit and authentic! Service is good too! The Jokbal and Bossam are “must-order”s. Kukbam and haejuntang are also yummy. Big portion with decent price - I can’t see any complaints about this place.

I saw that most bad reviews were about the “slow service “ during the soft opening, which I also have experienced the 1st time I stepped into this restaurant. BUT now they are extremely professional and friendly! Way to go JangChoongDong!“

“This restaurant is amazing! Delicious! Authentic Korean cooking! I don’t understand how the it only got 4.1 on google review. It definitely a shame to see a good restaurant have such a low rating. It’s the best Korean restaurant I have visited in Houston. Great variety of food choices. The lunch specials are reasonably priced. I love the seafood dolsol bibimban, soon tofu jigae, bibim hangmian. Soy crab! Everything we ordered was 10/10 quality and portion. It deserves higher rating!!!!“

“I’ve never had a Korean meal before as it’s been only the BBQ joints for me but this place was awesome! Everything was good, didn’t taste salty and service was wonderful!“

“Ordered the jhampong (짬뽕) and it was one of the best I've had outside of korea. Lots of seafood, noodles were cooked just right, and broth was favorable and spicy, but not too spicy. Service was also fast and courteous. Definitely going back to try their black bean noodles (짜장면) and the sizzling rice dish.“

“I'd make the 3 hour drive just for the kimchi! Delicious food!“

“The food 🍱 is very good 😊“

“Plant based OG was amazing, but the come back sauce makes you wanna holler” I’m coming back for mo and mo!!!!!!!“

“muchas gracias por su atención, es excelente el servicio y muy rica la comida y se puede pasar una rato muy agradable con la familia y amigos.“
