    Sauce counter and kitchen
    Robin P.

    This was a really good experience. I've wanted to try this place for a while, and I was not disappointed. I teetered between 4 and 5 stars, it's just a regular Korean BBQ place and they were a tad slow at cleaning tables, but it was great food so it gets 5 stars today. We only talked to one person for a brief moment but he was really nice. I ordered the spicy garlic pork bowl and iced coffee and my boyfriend ordered the crispy chicken bowl. I actually really preferred his bowl, although I did have to sauce the chicken because the breading is really bland. I'm sure that's the point, since they have some great sauces, and the crispy chicken was great with their signature sauce and the sesame sauce. Yummo!! The coffee was great, very much like a Vietnamese coffee, sweet and luscious. The spicy garlic pork was really good, but the bowl really needed some texture. The quick cooked zucchini and broccoli do add a little crunch, but there's not enough of them to provide different textures. My bowl had three tiny pieces of broccoli, so maybe if there was more of the veggies, or some green cabbage. When you're ordering, there's no way to request extra veg. Overall, the bowls were good, the veg was fresh, the sauces were excellent. The bowls have great flavor and still manage to feel healthy and filling. We'll be back, for sure!

    We're thrilled to have found this spot, especially since it's now a favorite for me & my Korean husband - we celebrated Mother's Day here over dinner and the food was fantastic. But the real highlight was the exceptional service, particularly from Harrison, an employee whose dedication stood out. Even during slower periods, he remained proactive, taking care of to-go orders, refilling supplies, and ensuring everything was spotless. His hard work didn't go unnoticed, and I sincerely hope he receives the recognition he deserves.

    Fill my drink up!

    Came here first time. So food is below average for me. The rice was mushy and overcooked, whole bowl was just dry, and I paid 4.75 for this drink and why isn't it filled up. It literally looks like they poured some out. If I'm paying almost 5$ for a drink please don't be cheap with it. I will never be returning unfortunately, website made the food look great, but very dry overall.

    Bulgogi Bowl

    This place is very delicious. A little pricey but I justify that by making my meal last at least 3 days because the portions are large. I've noticed a quality difference between eating in and taking out. *much better to eat in. The Bulgogi Bowl is my go to and I highly recommend. It's card only, no cash and there is no phone to call and place an order which is a little inconvenient but not the end of the world.

    I loved the plate! It was delicious with flavor and had me full without the discomfort! Will go back again soon!

    I ordered this on delivery, so can't comment on the vibes in person. But this was so good! I ordered the rice bowl with bulgogi beef and the seaweed japchae rolls. The bowl was a pretty good sized portion, and the beef was a great texture - not chewy, nicely tender, and with great flavor. The japchae rolls were nice and crunchy, and the sauce on the side really added to the flavor. I'm looking forward to trying more items from Burning Rice soon.

    Bimbimbap.
    Rod D.

    The bimbimbap was so authentic and the best I've had in awhile. No place like this in San Antonio so I had to try it since I was in Dallas area. Not very busy when I went so service was very quick. The place was very nice and well kept. If you don't know what Bimbimbap is you should just try it if you like Korean food. Highly recommend this place!

    Adventure for a lunch. An interesting experience of environment, ordering, interacting, and presentation of the food. A few screens to place your order that allows you to scroll down to see what might be next. A lot of options and may not know what you will get if you have not experienced the restaurant. We both ordered the hot Bibimop bowls. My sponsor ordered the Shrimp as protein. I had the chicken and pork. The cast iron bowls kept the food very hot. There were 5 or 6 sauces to choose. It was a fun experience. We did not need the double protein in our order. We had plenty of left over take home. Add the sauces to direct the flavor you desire. My sponsor said she would like to return for another adventure.

Not a bad side with our order either. Beans, Cole slaw, Green Beans and Broccoli & Cheese Casserole. All, very good. Wife had the banana pudding and demolished it before I had a chance to try a spoonful. Staff is nice and friendly. Really enjoyed it and will be back.

Red barn's atmosphere reminds me of a local mom and pop shop which I appreciate. I had the hatch chili Mac and cheese, sliced brisket sandwich with spicy bbq sauce and banana pudding. The hatch chili Mac and cheese was delicious, the sliced brisket sandwich was decent and the banana pudding delicious. The brisket could have used a bit more seasoning to take it from decent to great. The banana pudding was fluffy and sweet. The hatch chili Mac and cheese was flavorful. I look forward to trying out more things on their menu. The prices are comparable to local barbecue places.

    Parking was limited to half dozen spaces, primarily in the front of the restaurant. When I arrived,…read moreonly a few were available. The dining area appeared to have sufficient tables to accommodate several more parking spaces/cars. Since it was cheaper than replacing the menu board, a signage on the door indicated a 3% surcharge regardless of payment. On the bill, there was a procurement charge around $2. As far as the menu, although brisket was an available option on the 1-Meat Plate, there was a separate All Brisket Plate item. I chose the latter as I wanted brisket with Hatch Green Chili Macaroni & Cheese and Cole Slaw as sides. The brisket was moist and tender, almost melting in my mouth. There were a few pieces either burnt or fatty. The sauce was definitely not needed. As for the sides, the hatch chili flavored the macaroni & cheese without making it too spicy. The sauce was the appropriate amount as the cole slaw was not drowning in it. After a bite of the Texas toast, I understand why folks may want to order more slices.

    We decided to order from this restaurant through the Too Good To Go app…read more I rarely write harsh reviews, but this experience deserves every bit of criticism. What happened today was unacceptable from the moment we walked in. The place was visibly dirty and completely unappetizing. The back area was mostly hidden behind what looked like a shower curtain, which did nothing to inspire confidence. There appeared to be only one man working, and he came out only a few times during the entire 45 minutes we waited. Even more concerning, there was a child who looked to be about eight or nine years old wearing latex gloves and repeatedly coming out to the front, apparently helping with restaurant tasks that no child should be doing. Despite having prepaid through Too Good To Go, no one acknowledged us for nearly 10 minutes. We stood in a hot dining room with almost no air conditioning while the child wandered in and out and the adult remained behind the curtain. More people arrived behind us, also with prepaid orders, until there were about 10 people waiting. We watched three other customers receive their food before us. One was a DoorDash driver, which made sense, and one woman had arrived before us. However, another woman with a very small order was served ahead of us even though she arrived after we did. When the man finally came out, we showed him our Too Good To Go order. He swiped the app, marking our order as picked up, then disappeared behind the curtain again and never returned with our food. After waiting 45 minutes in a sweltering dining room on a nearly 100-degree Texas day, we gave up. We left without the food we had already paid for. At that point, losing the cost of the meal was preferable to staying in that environment any longer. This was one of the worst pickup experiences I have ever had. Between the unsanitary conditions, the lack of staff, the presence of a child apparently performing restaurant tasks, the complete absence of customer service, and the fact that we never even received the order we had already paid for, I can say with complete confidence: We will never return.
