Glad we got to support a small local business. The owner/waiter was super personable and helpful throughout our dining experience. All of the food tasted excellent! We will be back to try other dishes. read more

Place: lots of parking next to Kroger market Inside clean welcoming bright lights good Korean music menu when u walk in Service: The owner is very nice he explains the food to you and is able to let you know of the choices of the food. With the ja jang myun he told me that it can be a veggie option or protein option to help accommodate to veggie eaters. Food: Ja Jang myun black bean noodles is very tasty the sauce is thick which was great not watery or runny. The sauce comes with cabbage zucchini onions mixed in the sauce. The bulgogi and rice platter was a nice combo thin sliced beef and japcahe a sweet peppery taste read more

My bf and I came to try this place out before our long drive home and the owner was so sweet and made us feel like family. On top of that the food was very flavorful. 10/10 read more

It took a bit to get our food but it was well worth it. Just a mom and pop shop making delicious food.

I have never been into Korean food. I try it every now and then just to see if my tastes have changed and this was one of those times. I ordered the Kimchi Bulgogi Burrito and it was incredible. I bit into in the parking lot as I was pulling out and it was so good that I almost went back for a second one before even leaving the parking lot. It's the perfect blend of flavors and the Kimchi was ON POINT. I'll be getting this time and time again. read more

Not a good selection of food. Not too tasty. We went there with six other people, but they liked some of the drinks and food. I wasn't too thrilled but they liked it. Thank you. read more

This Korean restaurant was delicious and the portions were amazing! The ambience and service here were also great! My bibimbap bowl was huge and there were many veggie toppings on mine and a fried egg in the shape of a heart. They give you a bibimbap sauce to drizzle over your rice bowl that made it so yummy. My husband got the bulgogi platter with japchae (glass noodles). It came with cabbage and saajmang sauce and was so good. All the banchan side dishes (pickled radish, fish cake, and kimchi) were great as well. Sung was so nice and it was great talking to him for a while! Can't wait to be back. Definitely give this place your support!! read more

Me and the hubs stepped in for a mid-week lunch date and it was super yummy! You know it's authentic because the only other people we saw coming in were Korean - speaks volumes! We had their steamed dumplings and Yang-Neum chicken as appetizers and shared their hot pot-style bibim-bot meal. It came with all sorts of pickled veggies - the daikon radish and cucumbers were my favorite! The hot pot made the rice crispy on the bottom which was perfect!! It's fun to try new cuisines and we really enjoyed the flavors. Knocking one star off because our bowl didn't have much beef in it, could have used more for the price point. Also would have liked to hear Korean music rather than a soap opera playing, but that's minor! read more

My boyfriend and I absolutely LOVED this place. We came across Bop Joa in the spur of the moment as we were driving around the Wylie/Sachse area and I'm so happy we did. Not only was the food fantastic, but the owner was a great conversationalist. I will definitely come back during my visits to Dallas. read more

Ah yes, a small business owned by a married Korean couple. I have been here a lot of times, and the space is very cozy. That being said, since this place is small, expect it to be very crowded during weekends and running out of tables. However, you can do reservations to mitigate this. As for food, the quality is very consistent. I recommend trying their Sundubu Jjigae, it tastes wonderful. There is also K-drama on the TV if you're into that for entertainment. In summary, a pretty good experience, and if you're craving Korean food with some modern twist, this is the place to visit next time you're in Sachse. read more

Our first time trying this restaurant and the service was fast and friendly! Our waiter gave us tips on how to eat our meals and what would pair best with what. It was very clean inside and the food was incredible. We will definitely be back. read more

Every Wednesday, Cashew's parents look for a date night away from the three monkies. I decided to give this restaurant another chance after they didn't serve us because they had a party that day, yet had their restaurant open. The place is located in a strip mall with many businesses, so parking can be an issue depending on the time you go to eat. We arrived and the place was empty. The young man is very friendly yet asks weird questions like, "Are you gonna eat?" This place has no menus, so you need to do a QR code. The bathroom is located in the back next to the kitchen. The young man suggested appetizers, and so cashew's mom asked for dumplings (5) appetizer. The dipping sauce truly helped the flavor of the dumplings, which are very small. I got the burrito and wife the chicken pieces. The burrito had a very nice mix of Korean flavor with Mexican style, and the chicken pieces had no flavor besides the dipping sauce. Cashew's mom liked the chicken pieces. The place is good and prices are adequate. The young man works hard and looks to make your stay a pleasant one, so I would recommend this place. I'm just careful. If it's full, they can't deal with large numbers. read more

Place was clean staff very friendly and food was absolutely amazing. I'd recommend the pear drinks and korean pancakes to start. Good vibes for sure read more

My husband had gone with his friends a few years back, and wouldn't stop talking about how good the food was. Well, we were back in the area and he said we had to go. I had the jap-che and he had the jap-che platter and goodness we were full. Service was attentive, the cook came out to check on us. They were playing k-pop and a k-drama on the TV. It was such a good meal. If we were ever out that way again, we're going back. read more

What a lovely and intimate place to come in and enjoy either pickup or a quiet lunch/dinner. We stopped in without reading the sign on the door that suggests you to call and make a reservation due to the tight space/being short staffed. That was okay since it was our fist time and we were fine with placing our dinner to go. We had the bbq chicken burrito and beef burrito. The chicken fried rice, dumplings, and a fried cheese roll. All in all the food was good. We were expecting a bit more of a kick in the spices but we're also trying to train our brains into being expectant of all types of flavoring. Can't wait to try their bulgolgi pizza next time! read more

Low key atmosphere which was a change from busy loud restaurants. Local and convenient. Loved the dinner suggestions. We tried something new. We have gone back. read more

What a great family run business with authentic food sans friendly service! The environment is simple but clean and welcoming. We had both the spicy pork and beef bulgogi and I think we enjoyed the pork more although the beef was still very good. If we're lived closer, it could definitely be a place that we would enjoy sampling all the different menu items. read more

Enjoy it; owned by a sweet couple. A little on the pricier side but I am sure rent is expensive.

Friendly family owned restaurant. The food here was delicious and the portions were very generous! The restaurant itself is tiny and recommends a reservation for dining in (about 5 tables that can sit 4 people each). The chef/owner stopped by each table to check in on their experience, which I thought was really nice! The steamed dumplings here were good. The dumplings were tiny, so if you have more than 2 people eating the appetizer, I'd recommend ordering an order of 10 or more! The beef bibimbap was really good! There was so much food! My fiancé finished the dish, but I'd definitely have leftovers if we didn't share the meal. read more

Went here for a social dinner with coworkers and it's a bit hit and miss. Items: mandu - delicious! Very lightly savory and perfectly steamed. I enjoyed them! I didn't take a picture since they look pretty normal but they arrive in a steamer basket. yangneum chicken - was okay..? Not really what I expected. It's supposed to be a sweet, spicy, gochujang/garlic chicken but it was more like a honey garlic chicken with lots of peanuts. I liked the peanuts texture but it wasn't spicy or salty, only sweet. And the chicken was good texture but rather flavorless. I took it home and cut it up to put in fried rice bibimbap - I didn't try this but my coworker enjoyed it Jajang udon - the concept is fine - The owner felt inspired to do a fusion type dish and likes the thick udon noodles with the jajang black bean sauce. The execution wasn't my favorite. The sauce needs to be less viscous because otherwise the noodles get knotted together and it's hard to eat. I asked for spicy and wow - the sauce flavor was 90% Serrano pepper and 10% sugar. There was no salt, no savory flavor. It was rather flavorless. I actually couldn't eat it. Took it home and added chicken stock concentrate and a little water to make it flavored. This shop is really cute! The owners are kind and the food is well-presented. I think the base of the dishes are all good here, at least from what we tasted, but the flavors were all over the place. I hope that the next time I visit there will be more savory/salty/bold flavors :) read more

decent spot for Korean food if you're in the area. Seems like it's a family owned spot! The owner was nice and chatty. He was also the one taking our orders and serving our food. I believe his wife is the chef. The portion sizes are pretty generous! The owner explained the choices behind some of the dishes - I.e why they choose to use a different type of rice cake (I.e. flat instead of cylindrical). While some of the choices weren't my personal preference, I can appreciate the thought process. read more

Let me start by saying my family is a Korean foodie family. We've probably tried 85% of the Korean eateries in DFW. We were in Sachse and looking for a late lunch. I'd seen the Yelp reviews for Bop Joa, so we gave it a try. What a pleasant surprise! You don't equate Sachse with great Korean food, but they sure have it! It's a small place, about six tables and an active carry out. While they do some "fusion", we stuck with the traditional. Beef bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi, jap chae, vegetable pancake and pork dumplings. The meal came with white rice and the traditional non chon or sides of pickled vegetables, kimchi and fish cake. The food was outstanding. Every single thing we ordered was as good as you'd find at the best Korean places in Dallas or Carrollton. The service was great as well. Our server was friendly, fun and professional. Prices were extremely reasonable as well. Bop Joa may be a little far from home, but I'll go back for their food and friendly atmosphere. read more

We went here for while looking for some good dumplings and we couldn't have found a better place, the dumplings and fried rice were great, and the owner was super nice. He talked to us, and when there was a mix up in the kitchen he gave us another plate without charge. Overall the place is definitely a hidden gem. 10/10 would recommend (Pictured chicken fried rice) read more

Bop Joa - Chicken Fried Rice - Korean Near Me - Sachse, Texas

Amazing family run Korean spot. Food is excellent. You can't pick anything bad on the menu. The vegetable pancake for an appetizer is always a great option. Sometimes they can get busy and there's only one waiter, but they seem to be hiring more. Try the pear drink it's amazing. read more

If you're looking for authentic Korean food, this is a pretty good spot in the Wylie area. The worker/owner? is very personable and kind. The food was pretty good. I got the spicy pork bulgogi with jap-che. I love jap-che so this was a great meal in my book. I had also gotten the bibim-bop which wasn't anything special really. I'm docking a star because when I walked into the store there was still trash from previous customers on several tables so it felt almost "dirty." I don't know if they are short-staffed or if there is an alternative reason, but I was personally a little uncomfortable eating. read more

Stopped in here for some lunch while I was in the area. The gentleman inside was so kind! Very cute and great ambiance inside. Food was amazing & hit the spot. Definitely needed a nap after eating this though. read more

Always pleasant with great service. Food is always good and is consistently filling with good portions

Tried this place out because we love Korean cuisine. Big disappointment, food was overcooked and very, very oily. The members of my party all agreed this is likely a home cook that likes their own food, but it's not presentable to the public. I empathize with their attempt to open a restaurant, but it's just not up to restaurant quality food or presentation. read more

My review is solely for the seafood soondubu. I can't speak to the service, the shop or any other dish as my kid did the ordering and pickup. Don't be fooled by the description of "blue crab, shrimp, squid, clam." I might have seen tiny squid tentacles (which is the worst part IMO) but nothing remotely close to the others. Maybe it's what's listed on the frozen bag of seafood similar to what I've seen in the store with tiny bits of everything plus the chum it was hanging out with. I liked the spice level but if the spiciness is coming from serrano peppers (which I read in the Q&A), they should lay off the heavy layer of chili oil on top. The sides were good and helped offset the heaviness. It wasn't terrible, but for the price and lack of quality ingredients, I'm not curious enough to come back. read more

The only Korean fusion that impressed me. I enjoy traditional Korean food, and the fusion at Bop Joa was perfect. The owner only slightly tweaked original Korean recipes to meet an American pallet. For example. Modifying jajamyon with udon noodles and mellowing out the brown bean sauce was an excellent modification. I had it with seafood and spiced it up with jalapeños. The veggies were fresh and tastey, and the sauce did not have the normal charred taste you find in the Korean version. $15. The wife had the soft tofu soup in the stone pot. $15 She said it was like home cooking for her. Not much fusion except they had a pork and chicken option, which is not typical for Korean. The owner/server is very friendly and limits seating so he can give his best service. I recommend calling ahead to make sure that a table is available. They do decent amount of delivery service business as well. I wish he was in Keller. Ohhh. Ask for extra napkins. read more
