Always a place to enjoy a quick lunch.
Food is clean, healthy for hangovers, and fulfilling. Service is like a family member always caring for your needs.

This establishment is an embarrassment to South Korean food and moreover their hospitality.
Enter the restaurant and welcome to another hole in the wall, but that is fine as i've been to plenty that have turned out to be hidden gems. This was not!
We were not greeted. Old grandma just points at some table for us to sit, not asking us if we are happy with the seating. There is obnoxiously loud music playing from a small TV near the register. It's a K-Pop boy band doing their opera rendition of Coldplay (on a loop). Then, after waiting 5 minutes, grandma comes by with 1 menu for 2 people to share. She didn't seem to care about asking us what beverage we would like to drink. She expected us to instantly know what we wanted to eat just by looking at this menu that had only about 15 items on it. The food was overpriced for the quantity (the same quantity in Plano will be about $2 to $3 cheaper). It tasted bland. The below average side dishes only came out with our meal after a 15 minute wait. We felt like this was done intentionally. The food was bland so I had to use some of the kimchi sauces from our side dishes to add some extra flavor. No side dish refill, not even for water. In fact, grandma did even bother to check in on us and ask if we were enjoying our food. Instead, she was avoiding making eye contact as far as possible. We felt very unwelcome, almost as if they were obligated to serve us but didn't really care to. Sure it's a mom'n'pop joint, but those typically are awesome. This one simply wasn't. What a sad experience.

Saturday lunch. One table here before us. One lady working the dining area. she got us water but no menu and expected us to order. Luckily the menu was small and with pictures so we were able to quickly order.
She also doesn't bring out the side dishes until the food was about to be brought out so it was an agonizing wait of 15minutes while we steadily perish to hunger.
No refills of water nor side dishes, no eye contact while roaming around, no checking in on us either.
Food was decent and price was very affordable and not inflated crazy like other places.

Gomonae is the perfect spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Korean flavors in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The simple yet well-curated menu features delicious soups and stews, perfectly complemented by an array of flavorful side dishes that bring out the best of Korean cuisine. Each bite is bursting with taste and leaves you wanting more. Highly recommend for a comforting and satisfying meal!

Authentic Korean food. Great food by good people. And the price is just right. Only 13 items on the menu. That's a good sign; they take proud in the things they prepare.

Run down looking place. There was only one older Korean lady (who looked miserable) that was waiting tables. Food was bland. Service was TERRIBLE.My husband and I only ordered one thing on the menu because we literally ate at a different restaurant just before (my husband wanted to check out this restaurant as well while we were in the area). She had an offensive demeanor and attitude when we ordered just one thing even after I explained we are going to share that one dish because we aren’t that hungry. When she brought out the sides, I thanked her politely, trying to be cordial. After that, she only brings out ONE glass of water and ONE set of silverware. How petty, I thought. But the pettiness/rudeness didn’t stop there. When she saw that I was watching the TV show that was on, she muted the volume. Hahaha I was done. Lost my appetite, and we left. I can’t think of ANYTHING we did wrong to make her treat us that way. I was APPALLED. Never will I come back here.Menu options and quality/taste of the food was subpar anyway.

Omg I love this place soooo much. I found it looking for a place that serves dolsot bibbimbap, and I found a true gem. The bibbimbap is great, and their soybean paste stew is also to die for as well as the bulgogi. The service is wonderful. They are happy to answer questions for you about the menu if you're not sure how it works, and once when my husband was curious about a side item but wasn't sure, they just threw it in for free so he could try something new. I've brought several people here and look forward to going again!
