“Me and my family have been to multiple Korean bbqs but this one has truly been outstanding. The food, the service, all so good! Truly sets your expectations high. Our server Kevin was very impressive, he was serving multiple tables at a time but yet was very attentive to every single one of them! He truly is amazing at his job! He is very hardworking and always has a positive energy! I truly look forward coming in every time! They truly serve me and my family amazingly!“

“My favorite korean restaurant in Dallas
I moved from Atlanta and couldn’t find any places that could satisfy my taste buds, but “The JinKook” did! My favorite is their kimchi jjim, it was better than any other kimchi dishes I’ve tasted.“

“Excellent food and great service! Thanks“

“Full flavor of chicken tenders and Nashville hot type chicken sandwiches. Have gotten food to go from here a few times, each flavor of sauce has been great and the portions are filling. If your a chicken eater and like tenders and sammy’s you gotta try em out! 👊🏻“

“This was my very first time dining at Manna Shabu & BBQ (Lewisville location) while visiting for a concert weekend, and I have to say—it was such a wonderful experience! They were even having a special collaboration with a local small business vendor for the Ateez concert and offering a complimentary Lemon Drop mocktail for each diner, which was such a fun and thoughtful touch. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. I believe it was the owner or manager who greeted me, and when he learned it was my first visit, he kindly explained the menu, the dining options, and where to find the different food and sauce stations. I was then shown to my table where a very sweet server brought me water and took my order. Throughout my meal, two other staff members as well as the owner/manager checked on me often. The service was beyond excellent—everyone was attentive, helpful, and genuinely kind. Now onto the food—oh my gosh, the portions were incredible! I ordered three different meats and was so pleasantly surprised at the generous serving sizes. At most KBBQ places, one order barely feels like enough for a single person, but here, each order was hearty and satisfying. I couldn’t stop raving about it to my boyfriend and mom while on the phone during my meal! The meat was fresh, high-quality, and delicious—even without dipping sauces. The corn cheese also deserves a special shout-out—it was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had. Beyond the main dishes, there were so many great options: hot plates like mandu, sausage, japchae, fried rice, and chicken; a nice selection of banchan; an ice cream station for dessert; and a wide variety of sauces to complement everything. The restaurant itself was very clean, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and even the restrooms were spotless. I also loved that the TVs played some of my favorite K-pop groups and the music playlist was absolutely top tier—it really added to the fun vibe. Dining here as a solo traveler, I never once felt uncomfortable or out of place. On the contrary, I felt taken care of and treated like a queen. It was such a comforting and memorable experience, and I am so thankful for the outstanding hospitality and service I received. I highly recommend Manna Shabu & BBQ and can’t wait to come back with my family the next time I’m in town. Thank you for making my first visit such a wonderful one!“

“I was looking for a place to eat instant tteokbokki, and it was so delicious.
You can adjust the spiciness, there are different flavors, there are various types of rice cakes/noodles, and it's nice because it's clean.
I had a great time eating rice cakes and fried rice. I'll come again.“

“Highly-recommend!!! Delicious food“

“We visited this place last Sunday. It’s very family-friendly and great for dining with kids. I had the spicy seolleongtang, and the broth was very rich and flavorful. We also ordered dumplings and pork cutlet, and the kids absolutely loved them.

Our server didn’t seem to be Korean, but she spoke Korean very well and kindly explained the dishes to us. The service was very friendly and welcoming. Overall, it was a great experience and a nice place to visit with family.“

“We came on a Friday and they had the triangle kimbap available - which was excellent. Got the spicy bulgogi and it was smoky, sweet, spicy, and savory with a great meat-to-rice ratio. Also got the hotteok. We had the original last time we came and it was really really good (we were pleasantly surprised as this was new for us - a honey pancake type snack with nuts) and this time we had the Nutella version which was just as good. Also had the yuzuade which was very very good, it's unique and a delicate balance of sweet, tangy, and refreshing. We also tried their k-dogs this time and they were very large for the price. Everything overall was over my expectations. We remembered this place despite it being months since last coming and will definitely be coming back in the future“

“My wife and I drove into town from Houston for a wedding. Too tired to meet with friends we were hoping to find a decent place to eat and calling it the night. We landed here...wow! I highly recommend the seafood and green onion pancake...great meal! We also ordered their Korean wings...great flavor and the sauce was amazing, sweet and slightly spicy, the way we like it. I made the mistake of asking for the sauce on the side, thinking it would be too spicy. I suggest you order as it should be prepared and perhaps indicate the leve of crispness that you like for your wings. Overall, great spot for Korean comfort food.“

“If you’ve never tried gamjatang (Korean pork bone soup), this is the place to start.
The broth is unbelievably rich, deep, and packed with flavor slow simmered for hours until it turns into pure comfort in a bowl. The pork literally falls off the bone, and the portion is huge!
If you’re going with three people, order the large size!
it’s the perfect amount to share. This spot in Carrollton truly does it right. And don’t forget to order the fried rice at the end! it’s the best way to finish the meal!“

“Ordered via Uber Eats and was thoroughly impressed. Having lived in Seoul before, I have high standards for Kimbap, and this is as authentic as it gets. The flavors are spot on and exactly what a proper Kimbap should taste like. I’ll definitely be ordering again and can’t wait to visit the shop in person!“

“Food is exceptional, service is very friendly and attentive, atmosphere is cozy and nice. Best Korean food in Frisco! This is my go to for delicious Korean food in DFW. I've been eating here for over 2 years now and they are always consistent, very warm and friendly service, and most of all the most amazing food. Everything on their menu is highly recommended because I've tried it all and it is all exceptional. Highly recommend!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I'd like to give a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ shoutout to Bros Korean BBQ, Sushi & Shabu! Pairing it with incredible company, this is the perfect unique date night spot! 💛“

“Tried this place for the first time and was pretty impressed by the offerings they had.

I am not a huge cold noodle fan but they had other dishes that suited my taste.

1. The spicy noodles were not too spicy and they gave you a lot of beef
2. The seafood pancake was just crispy but their wasn’t alot of seafood

The nice thing was we did not need to tip and everyone has to clean up after themselves“

“My first visit! I called in to order, and was told it would be ready in 25 minutes. I went in 25 minutes later and everything was fresh and hot! This was the best Korean BBQ fried chicken I have ever had in my lifetime! The french fries were perfect! Crispy and hot with a wonderful coating and honey butter flavor! This will be my go to place for chicken now! You can see that the staff prepare everything by hand, and the service is exceptional, love all the sauces too! Go ahead and try for yourself you will love it!“

“If you’re looking for authentic Korean food in Carrollton, please give Kooksoo a try. This place honestly deserves so much more attention. My boyfriend and I got the King Rib Jjamppong. The food was absolutely delicious, comforting, and full of flavor, but what really stood out was how kind and genuine the owner was. He personally came out to check on every table, asking if everything tasted good and whether the spice level was okay. You can really tell he cares about his customers and puts his heart into the restaurant.

In a time where so many places feel rushed or impersonal, this felt incredibly warm and welcoming. Great food, generous portions, and genuinely kind service. Small family-owned restaurants like this deserve all the support. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“This is the perfect spot for casually hanging out with friends. Their spicy tteokbokki is beyond amazing. You can truly taste that it’s homemade. The rice cakes have the perfect texture, making it impossible to resist going back for another bite.
They play all the 2000s K-pop hits, which makes the atmosphere even more nostalgic“

“great food and very good service“

“This is easily one of the most authentic Korean spots in the Carrollton area. If you’re looking for a place that feels like a genuine neighborhood deli in Korea, this is it.
The highlight of the meal was definitely the **intestine soup**. It is hands down the best I’ve had—the broth is incredibly deep and flavorful, and the ingredients are prepared perfectly. It’s the kind of hearty, comforting dish that’s hard to find executed this well.
Beyond the main dishes, their **banchan (side dishes)** selection is impressive. Not only is everything fresh and delicious, but the portions are **huge**. They really don't skimp on the variety or the amount, which makes the whole meal feel like a feast.
The atmosphere is cozy and no-frills, which I personally love because it shows the focus is entirely on the quality of the food. If you want real-deal Korean comfort food with generous portions, I can’t recommend Ajumma Sundae Deli enough!“

“Had an awesome experience at this Korean BBQ place! Hailey gave us amazing service the whole night — super friendly, attentive, and made us some delicious soju drinks. She really made the atmosphere fun and welcoming. Great food, great drinks, and even better service. We’ll definitely be coming back!“

“I had Bimbibop for the first time ever and it was amazing. They sides were also amazing. The service was excellent as well and they paid attention to detail. The presentation of the food was also excellent.
I recently had Bimbibop at a different Korean restaurant in Frisco and it was terrible. From now on I will go to Maht Gaek for Bimbibop.“

“The side dishes are so delicious that I go here every time I go to Dallas. I really like the combination of pig’s feet and makkimchi. It’s better than the jokbal restaurant. We live in the countryside, so we buy a lot at once, and they always provide great service and are very kind. The seasoned crab sauce is delicious, so I buy it often.“

“Recently my mom fell ill and through her recovery we often got her the Fish and Chicken Juk from Charm Juk. We also got the Beef Bulgogi Bento Box for the rest of us while nursed her back to health. The hostess and staff were so kind and gracious, thank you for all your support! Charm Juk is my mom's favorite restaurant around Dallas, and we can clearly see why! 😊“

“I had a river rat at home, so I ate it and it was so delicious! The assorted boiled pork, seolleongtang, and seasoned crab were crazy!!It doesn't smell at all, it's delicious, and I'll be visiting often!!All kimchi is delicious, but green onion kimchi is especially delicious?The marinated crab is tastier than the one you buy at a side dish restaurant, and there is a lot more of it!!“

“This place is AMAZING!!!! Food is delicious and service was superb! Must try !!“

“Went here last night for dinner with my wife. Met the new owner, who came and introduced himself. Very friendly and loved that he took time to visit with us, box up the leftovers and gave us a very honorific good bye as we left. We will certainly be back.“

“The food was great and Mira was fantastic service, highly recommend! ???“

“We love this place!!! Clean, staffs nice and efficient!!! Lots of choice to pick from and there’s plenty of Soju!!! The price is fair and the option is a lot. Lamb, beef, pork, not to mention even fish!!! Everyone should give it a try!!!“

“This place has pretty delicious Pho for a korean take on Pho. The regular pho tastes pretty close to a traditional vietnamese pho if you ask me. I think if they had white onions instead of purple, it would take this pho to another level. Otherwise, I am pretty satisfied with this place. I’ve had the garlic pho on another occasion and think that the regular pho tops it! Overall a wonderful place for a quick lunch“

“Spicy crab delicious！“

“I had been here once before many years ago and this place was even better upon my return. We had the bulgogi + bibimbap special and one regular bibimbap. Everything was fresh, especially the pickled veggies which we had to ask for seconds. The music was also excellent and kept a fun vibe. We look forward to our next visit.“

“Love this place! Been coming here for bout 4 - 5 years now. It definitely is a dope vibe when you’re grubbing with the peeps and the servers are awesome. There are couple new faces for sure but they’re great and Jeffery and Moon are always attentive to making sure it’s always great when me and the squad come in, so much so they’ll have us seated and already bring out what we usually order. This is my kbbq place fasho I can go to the other fancy schmancy ones but they wont show love like the crew does here. Bring ya appetite and they’ll get ya right is all I can say.“

“If you really want to experience authentic Korean Jokbal, you should try this place. I really missed authentic Korean Jokbal and was 1000000% satisfied with the food here. The owner of this restaurant is also super friendly. Highly recommended.“

“A hidden gem ! Tried the tofu soup (kimchi), kimchi pancake, kimbap. All were just amazing and at par with expensive korean restaurants in Carrolton.

Absolutely loved the food and will definitely keep coming back for more.“

“So delicious! Beef bulgogi was perfection! And the tenders! 😋 Hot soy garlic and Korean sweet and spicy sauces were so good!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had such a great experience at 88 Korean BBQ and Hotpot. The food was fresh and full of flavor, especially the meats and hotpot options. Everything tasted really authentic.

The service made it even better. The staff, Anna Grace, was kind, attentive, and checked in often without being overwhelming. She made sure we were comfortable the whole time.

The place was clean and had a nice, relaxed atmosphere. It’s a perfect spot for friends or family. Definitely coming back again.“

“두부찌개 was the best I have had! Even my elderly mom was impressed. $32 for two soups and a takeout box full of delicious sides. The takeout box of sides was easier to eat out of than helping my parents open small containers. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Chi Chi’s was the most fun I’ve had in a long time! You can play free games on the tablets but you can also 1V1 another group for a bottle of soju of your choice. We went 7-0 and had to start giving bottles away. Also the owner was super sweet and gave me a free tambourine. Food was yummy and the whole atmosphere was a vibe.“

“Jang Choong Dong specializes in jokbal and bossam. A side of sundae goes perfect with those.

Jokbal and sundae makes a delicious and somewhat healthy lunch. A few people walked in, looked at the menu, and walked out. I don't know what they wanted but they're missing out.

This isn't the place for bulgogi and bim bim bap. It's a lot more. Give them a try. You'll be coming back for more.“

“The food is excellent here! Banchan is fresh, plentiful and varied. We had the soondubu combo with kalbi and ordered a kalbi tang as well. Both were excellent! This is a gem of a spot. Friendly waitstaff and excellent K-pop tv to watch while you eat.“

“Amazing atmosphere and food!“

“Bab Bo - Korean Food (Lewisville)

Had a great and friendly experience here.

It’s located inside the Vista Ridge Mall, by “Zion Market.”

“Beef Bulgogi,” was especially delicious. It was made fresh and sizzling. They give you generous portions with extras, including “Kimchi.”

At the end we thanked the lady that helped us order and she had a genuine smile and reciprocated our gratitude.

Come by here and try any of their dishes. It’s made fresh daily. I’m looking forward to returning and trying other dishes.“

“We decided to give Oma a try since we woke up late and it was raining outside. It’s a nice restaurant with good lighting, tasteful décor, and an accent plate wall that makes the space look warm and inviting. Our waiter and waitress were friendly and welcoming. Since we arrived near the end of brunch, we were told the kitchen would be closing soon, but they still managed to accommodate our order, which we appreciated.

The food was okay overall, but the orange juice was one of the best I’ve had in a while, fresh and very flavourful. If you’re staying at the hotel, Oma is a very convenient spot for a meal, and the service is excellent.“

“Really good. I ordered the purigo fried chicken, and I did not know that cheese seasoning would go so well on chicken, and the pickled radish went really well w it. I was a bit iffy about spending a dollar on ranch, but it was actually worth it because it's also pretty good.“
