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. read more

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. read more

Burning Rice - Fill my drink up! - Korean Near Me - Hurst, Texas

Pretty tasty, casual spot. Order at the kiosk and pay, then take a seat and they'll deliver your food. It fits the bill for a delicious, filling bowl of meat and veggies. Sauce bar is good. Good variety of options and decent prices/good value! read more

Burning Rice - Bulgogi beef bowl, strawberry uyu drink - Korean Near Me - Hurst, Texas

Highly disappointed that this place sells dishes with Korean names but is furthest from Korean you can get. Ordered the spicy beef bibimbap with extra meat and a side of Japchae. The beef tasted ok although it was significantly fattier than I'm used to. The overall dish though was mid at best. The Japchae was a huge let down and the biggest disappointment I've ever had. Where's the spinach, where's the red bell pepper, mushroom, egg, sesame oil mixture? It's literally sweet potato noodles.... And that's it. No flavor whatsoever and a complete waste of my money. I've had good food here before but with so many better local options coming out, I will never spend another dime here. read more

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

Burning Rice - Korean Near Me - Hurst, Texas

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! read more

Overpriced but good. I would like it more if it were more affordable. And if they had more sauce options; like a sweeter one. But everything was still pretty good. read more

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. read more

Burning Rice - Bulgogi Bowl - Korean Near Me - Hurst, Texas

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. read more

I love this place. I miss having lots of Korean options after moving here from Houston. This place def hits the spot for a fast version of Korean. Always add an egg to everything. Kimchi fried rice for sure. It's fun to try all the sauce combos too. Have come 3-4 times with the fam and we enjoy it every time. read more

Great food every time we go. Good portions and flavorful combos! Friendly staff and clean restaurant.

Yum, yum,yum,yum,yum. I dream about the food for days after a meal here. The kimchi rice and sauces are to die for. What a delicious and fresh bowl they create. read more

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! read more

I didn't know what to expect when ordering. Staff offered suggestions and they were spot on! Great food at the restaurant as well as when it is picked up to go! read more

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. read more

The food is very good here. The service is excellent, the ambience is very good. Would 100% recommend to a friend!

The flavor is amazing and it is not too greasy, the sauces are delicious and customer service is good I will come back for more. Try the bibimbap read more

We tried Burning Rice for the first time as takeout, and it's kind of like a Korean mix of Panda Express and Chipotle, but with a digital twist. While the pictures and system are easy to navigate, I found the digital ordering a bit challenging since I wasn't familiar with the dishes or how they'd be prepared. The base price includes a bowl and veggies, and you pay extra to add meat. The system prompts you to add two meats, but honestly, one is more than enough. I can't imagine what three would look like! A bowl with one meat costs about $13 and is plenty filling, while two meats bumps it up to around $17. The kimchi rice, which is essentially rice with cabbage, wasn't my favorite, but my husband liked it. The box meal was good and came with egg roll-like dumplings. The chicken bites were fried and sweet, similar to orange chicken. The BBQ meat was sautéed, and the spicy meat had a nice kick to it. The meat was tasty, but we had mixed reviews on the rest. Now that we know what to pick and choose, we'll give it another shot. read more

This place is the chipotle version for dolsot bibimbap and I'm all for it! We've been learning the hard way that Asian food in this area of the metroplex can be an extreme hit or miss PLUS this place is a chain - so we approached this place with caution. Luckily we were pleasantly surprised! The dolsot bibimbap comes out sizzling hot and the toppings are generous. Bulgogi is on point and it's such a good option to have japchae. And sure - there are some things that are kind of Americanized like the chicken bites and certain sauces. That being said, they taste good so who cares ? We love bringing our baby here because it's a big sitting area and they have plenty of clean high chairs and boosters available - plus there is just the right amount of ambient noise that a rowdy baby won't bother anyone too much. Ordering is all done on a touchscreen near the entrance and the servers wheel food out, sizzling hot! That being said, if I was any closer to Zion market or Hmart area, I would probably just go there for bibimbap. Definitely recommend if you are close by looking for something fast and tasty. read more

Very good vegetarian selection. Recommend again, would appreciate further customization by having someone attend to.

It was ok not great but not bad . Staff was polite . Food was quick. Place was clean.

Great stuff, I will definitely be coming back. They have a multiple-kiosk order system that allows you to see pictures of the food you're ordering and get your order in quickly. They have 6 house sauces that you can help yourself to (no additional fee). I really liked the Ssamjang and Signature sauces. The spicy beef bulgogi was perfect, super flavorful. I also like that there's an open kitchen where you can see the chefs cooking up the food fresh. Lots of seating available and not cramped. read more

When you come here, the hot stone bowl is a non-negotiable. If you order the regular bowl, your food will not come out hot enough. The food is delicious - I recommend the spicy bulgogi with all the toppings in the hot stone bowl. The reason I can't give 5 stars is due to the cleanliness of the restaurant. Most tables were covered in dirty dishes - hopefully they get more staff to help in this area because the food is really good! read more

Just had lunch here today. Great food and the service is what made me write the review. Greeted at the door, was asked how my food was mid way through the meal, and was thanked and they helped take my plate and cleaned up for me. Excellent service for a self service restaurant. read more

Round of applause! No, seriously. First time eating here (ordered online and had it delivered) and wow. Such a simple yet so tasty meal! The ingredients were fresh and the food was hot despite being en route to my house for 20 minutes. I will be returning! read more

Delicious! The bulgogi was very meaty, no gristle. The bulgogi bowl is a good sized serving and all the ingredients are fresh and good. Reasonable price and quick. read more

My wife and I visited for a late lunch today; first time in. Really enjoyed the ambience and decor. We had general ideas, but needed help so rather than the kiosks order stations we went straight to the order counter and received wonderful help by the lady there. Food: AMAZING! Appearance, aromas, flavors were all OMG fabulous. What a fabulous treat. We are definitely coming back again soon! We had the hot bowl, fried rice, kimchi, various vegetables, bean sprouts, and two fried kimchi dumplings with a fried egg on top. KAPOW GOOD! I added ginger pork for my protein and my wife added BBQ chicken. Iced tea drinks. We both LOVE THIS CAFE, KOREAN STYLE RESTAURANT. LOVELY, GOOD, RELAXING. We have been making kimchi fried rice combinations at home and wanted to gain some baseline flavor sense. Soooooooo good. Quite a treat when we're not cooking at home. Highly recommend. They also have a menu, build your own, for a box meal that reminds me of Japanese bento boxes. Bowels or boxes. Build your own lovely flavors (we leaned on our wonderful service lady for good recommendations). read more

I am absolutely addicted to this place!!! Recently had need to be in the Southlake area, and literally ate here 2 evenings in a row! The kimchee rice hot bowl dishes are incredible! The beef is my definite favorite, but be sure and load it up with the goodies they offer as options, as well as adding a fried egg to the top. Cannot say enough about how much I enjoy this food! Clean atmosphere, attentive service. It's a MUST TRY when in the Hurst Colleyville area. read more

Im going to be honest, when I read the description of this restaurant it's not very inviting to me personally. HOWEVER, I WILL TAKE ALL THAT BACK NOW. I finally gave Burning Rice a go because one this chain is every where, two for it to be everywhere it must taste good. This place is basically the Korean Chipotle but simpler. If you are like me and got all discombobulated over huge menus, this is the place for you. They have very limited choices but trust me that does not mean that they are lacking. Nowadays I feel like it is hard to find restaurants that have a specific focus on food. So if you go to this place it is a straight up you like it or not (but trust me you will love it). I also love how healthy the dishes were, that left you FULL and SATISFIED without having to feel gross. I had ordered the Spicy Garlic Pork with Kimchi rice, with all the toppings and a sunny side egg. Let me just say F***ING DELICIOUS, WHOLESOME, and FILLING. The Food does not look like a lot but trust me it is deceiving. Even though I ordered spicy on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give spiciness a 5. It was definitely full of flavor. So I have two cons (which is why I gave them 4/5) about this place (but half of it is because of covid), (1) the place has a cold and uninviting feeling on the inside. Maybe they should decorate or change the color scheme up a bit. (2) Another selling point about this restaurant is that they usually have a salad and soup buffet. But becuase of COVID this isnt being offered anymore. Which dont get me wrong, I completely understand. However the menu prices still remain the same. If they took away the buffet the least the restaurant can do is provide you with personal soups and salads. While eating my meal I could have used something fresh to eat, vs everything being all cooked in spices. read more

Super randomly stumbled on this place on our way back from Whole Foods. I'm a sucker for rice bowls so I figured why not give it a try? And now? I'm absolutely hooked!! It might be dangerous that this place is close to my husband's job -- meaning he can easily pick me up a bowl on his way home from work... right?! So this is how it works! You create your bowl. I usually get white rice with bbq chicken or shrimp, a bunch of random veggies I love + tofu and sweet bbq sauce. If y'all can see my face as I just wrote that out! It's the perfect portion first of all and it's so so good! I admit having a protein AND tofu makes it a bit of a lot but it's so good. And because of covid and having a toddler I get mine to go. The people who work there are super helpful and super patient! I'd give this place more than 5 stars if I could! read more

First time going here and it was a really good experience. The young man taking our order was very nice. Even when my dad was getting annoyed that the card reader wasn't working, while sliding it in the wrong way lol, the man was super nice and friendly about it. I was so happy that they have something for vegans here! I got the regular bowl with tofu, all the veggies, and added nori. It was delicious. My son and my dad, who are not vegan, enjoyed their meals also. Can't wait to come back here! read more

A lot of delicious food for a good price! The quality and freshness of the food is so good... I get the garlic pork bowl. The pork is sooo tender and cut in such thin pieces it almost melts in your mouth. The signature sauce is so yummy. Calm and cozy little place! Will be going back often read more

Burning Rice had some really worthwhile options on their menu and you get to completely customize your rice bowl. I got the bulgogi rice bowl and loaded it with toppings and it was a really nice change up from other quick food options. Everything was cooked well, the inside was clean, and the food was good! This is a great option if you're in the area and looking for a quicker healthy bite. read more

First time there wasn't sure what to expect an was pleasantly surprised with the food I got. I picked the garlic pork hot bowl with a fried over easy, unfortunately my egg was over medium close to over hard. I know that sometimes it's easy to overcook eggs next time I know just to order it sunny side up. The staff was nice you go give your order at the front then they give you a number an you go find your seats an someone brings you your food. They were quick an answer all my 20 questions I had about all the extra sauces they had which were delicious to try (sorry I can't remember what the name where. The inside was nice there was tables and chairs an wooden booths that were like most wooden booth uncomfortably but I enjoyed the booth, it was cozy an was a great atmosphere to meet up with friends. read more

This place is about to give Shake Shack a run for its money as my favorite fast casual stop. I've driven by this and read reviews and planned on trying to for a year but always put it off in favor of places like Namoo NRH or a drive up to Carrollton. My experience is based on the spicy bulgogi hot stone bowl with brown rice, Japchae, bean sprouts, corn, carrots and of course a sunny side egg. The bowl came out sizzling and I added some Gojuchang sauce and spicy soy to make a delicious combination of tender beef, veggies, runny egg and perfectly marinated tender beef. I felt this was on par with the other great bulgogi dishes I've had in DFW, but the hot stone pot crisping up that rice might have given it the edge. I will be a regular here for sure. read more

I was in the restaurant yesterday afternoon, and when I walked in, the first thing I saw , was an Asian man , skinny and wearing glasses, putting what seemed to be a paper towel up his nose, by the food line. It didn't appear like he had any shame in what he was doing, and he DID NOT wash his hands ,when he went to the food line, getting an order together. This is very disturbing and unsanitary!!! I didn't order anything!!! This took place at the restaurant on grapevine highway. read more

The food is fresh, cooked perfectly, and delicious. Service is very fast. This place is great.
