SORIMMARA Carrollton (소림마라 캐럴턴점)

A Chinese-Korean chain restaurant that's originally from Korea! I get their mala rose tteok and fish roe rice balls. I love that I'm getting real overseas options rather than the commercial choices we have in the States!

The food is really good and service was great! I really recommend the stir fry option and getting crispy pork on the side.

First of all, I don't write reviews too often, but the service here was exceptional yesterday, so I am inclined to say something. The workers were so helpful and kind as it was my first time visiting this type of restaurant. They guided me on what food offerings to put in my bowl and what flavor broth to choose as it is different from other shabu shabu/hot pot style places I have been before. For me, I chose the number 2 level of spiciness, which was perfect for my liking and the flavors reminded me of a mix of cham pong and ramen, which I love. Make sure to put some korean sausages in.

I also ordered the cream shrimp goubaorou dish, which was exceptional. They use potato flower that made it crispy and chewy at the same time. The sauce flavor was similar to honey walnut shrimp dishes I had before, but the texture and crunch made it one of my favorite dishes.

Overall, I had a great experience here and will definitely be back when I'm in the area. Make sure to ask for Alina as she made my family, and I feel so welcomed and created a comfortable atmosphere. Great job guys!

Food 4/5
My expectations are always directly correlated to how menu items are priced. It’s a 4/5, which in this case means I would pay 4/5 of their price, considering the taste and quality.

Service 2/5
Came here when they opened and they only told our table that there was a 50% off promo for the fried shrimp. Did not mention the promo was for one serving, which definitely should have been clarified. We ordered a lot of the shrimp, but had to pay full price for all but one, a steep price of $18 for seven pieces of shrimp. Felt they weren’t transparent and professionally considerate, whether intentional or unintentional.

We waited around 45 minutes when the restaurant was basically empty because they forgot to put in our order.

We came back again and ordered tteokbokki strictly because we wanted the cheese dduk in it. Of course, there was everything but the cheese dduk. Once again, whether it was intentional because they ran out or unintentional, the experience doesn’t feel worth coming back, especially for the price.

Atmosphere 5/5
I liked the atmosphere. Straightforward, clean.

I like it because it tastes the same as the malatang I used to eat in Korea!! Everyone is friendly and I think I will go there many times. Everyone, try the shrimp kkoobaroo. It’s really delicious.

Sophie, our hostess and waitress, was incredibly kind and friendly—the best we’ve encountered in a long time. She patiently guided us through the ordering process and made us feel very welcome.
