I can't say enough about how kind the manager(?) here is. She worked front of house, and picked up when we inquired on kitchen closing times 30 mins before closing. She assured me that it was fine and they would get our order in. I wasn't sure on exactly what I wanted and she was so kind to walk me through the different Jajangmyeon and Jjamppong options. Get the spicy version for both - they come with extra pork (loaded) for the Jajangmyeon and extra seafood for the Jjamppong and is actually quite spicy. She packages the food thoughtfully and neatly in a cardboard box for easy transport. The best Jajangmyeon in DFW. I've tried plenty. read more

What a gem! My friend and I were still talking about our meal the next day. I have no idea why they were not more customers in this restaurant?!?! The service was the friendly and just the right amount it attentive. It's a Korean Chinese menu because Chef Hsu worked early in his career for Lotte in South Korea. You'll find jjampong, jajjangmyeon, and a variety of other tasty options. The Jjampong with Seafood was a huge bowl. read more

Quiet. Clean. Good food. I order black bean noodles and sweet and sour chicken. By good I mean it's the same taste as I made at home. read more

Dong Bo Sung - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The outside of the restaurant is inviting unlike the surrounding area. Once inside you're greeted by typical kitschy Asian art and a friendly host. The dining room is small and simple. The staff is polite and efficient. They greeted us sweet radishes and onions and waters. We started with the only two apps they offered, dumplings and fried bread. We shared plates of king prawn, chicken fried rice, and noodles with black bean sauce. The food was delicious with generous portion sizes. The fried bread for which the name I am forgetting was reminiscent of my grandmother's grease bread with all the flavor and guilt included. It was delicious! No alcohol served here. read more

It offers outstanding value for the area, perfect for solo meals, gatherings with friends or family dinners. It's become one of my regular go-to spots and I highly recommend it. Will definitely visit again! read more

Sadly this has really gone downhill since our last visit. The tangsooyuk (deep fried pork) came out within minutes and tasted reheated. The sauce was too sweet. We left most of the food on the table, unfortunately. read more

Dong Bo Sung - Jajangmyeon, tangsooyuk - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

this is more like a 3.5 stars out of 5 stars. We were randomly in the area to meeting up someone for home remodeling and wanted to get food around here. i know there is a small enclave of korean shops, which is interesting since i thought most of the korean shops are located in carrollton. apparently this place serves food that's more northern china/and korea fusion. anyways, we ended up getting two items. jajangmyeon (black bean noodles) and the fried pork with spicy sweet sour sauce. After we placed our order, no joke, the food came out in like 3-4 mins. 100% they don't make it fresh, and i'm assuming in the kitchen they have everything ready to heat up. The jajangmyeon was really simple. We ended up getting the smaller size, and it was a lot for two people. They will bring it out separate (one dish for just the noodles and the other dish with the black bean with toppings). The jajangmyeon was really interesting, since it had A LOT of onions. prior jajangmyeon i've had didn't have an overload of onion, but i guess this is a different style? It was good and flavorful. I really enjoyed the fried pork with spicy sweet sour sauce. you have the choice between pork and beef, with beef being more expensive. The dish was definitely more than enough for 2 people, and we actually brought home leftovers. The shop is located in the corner and the surrounding area doesn't feel too safe. read more

Me and my family have been going here for the past 12 years. the food is so delicious and so tasty. The staff is so kind and so welcoming. we have always sticked to the Jjampong and it has never dissapointed me. the day this places closes is the day a part of me dies because the food is genuinely so good in my opinion. if you are in the area looking for great Chinese cuisine this is the place to do it at. Rapid service, tasty food, and phenomenal customer service. It is also a family owned business. Support your local family owned small business!!!! read more

I went on the weekend a few hours before closing and was treated good with service, timely water refills, was a slow day, food came out timely as well. The noodles came separate from the pork and onion black bean sauce. Its a fairly even amount, typically there is ton more black bean then noodle ratio but this was even. Noodles were thinner then the ones I buy at hmart. Sauce was mildly sweet at most. Felt lacking flavor, and one dimensional. Sweet and sour pork was overcooked, and somewhat bland. A little pricier then I would like. But plentiful These two are some of my favorite dishes but I can just make it at home better. read more

Absolutely incredible food, beautiful ambience and amazing service! They were so friendly, and the food was so delicious. We had the flower bread, dumplings, Jjajangmyeon, and spicy fried beef.

Dong Bo Sung - flower bread, Jjajangmyeon, and spicy fried beef - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

First time here because I was curious because I had seen this spot in a video somewhere. First, they bring out onions and sweet rashes (cured in pineapple juice) to dip in oyster sauce...it was different, to say the least. We ordered the black bean sauce noodles for 2. The sauce has a smoky taste. The noodles were drenched so it got messy, maybe less of the sauce would be better. A bit more of meat and maybe some jalapeños would make this dish complete. The Fried Rice was perfect! It came with shrimp, crab and like 2 tiny pieces of octopus lol. The place was pretty empty during lunch hour, which seemed odd but it's also located in an out of the way area. read more

I've been to two of their locations in frisco and Harry Hines. Recently came to the Harry Hines location to eat and ordered the mixed jajangmyun for 2. I like how this place is typically consistent and the quantity is big enough and filling. I've been to this location a lot in the past with family to do course meals and it's always a ton of food and very filling. For those who haven't been here before, it's a Korean Chinese fusion resturant so don't expect a full Chinese type restaurant. There's tons of tables and it's fairly big inside. There's private rooms for bigger groups/ reservations for their course meals. You can call ahead and let them know what you want so when you arrive it's almost ready. Service is always good when I go. It's usually never super busy so there's not a lot of staff but there's this one guy who I always see and he's always great and even knows some Korean and he's pretty good! read more

DALLAS, TX / KOREAN-CHINESE CUISINE / 12-18-22 / LUNCH -The customer service was slow and non-existent. -The noodles were overcooked in both the jjampong and jjajang myun dishes. -The tangsooyuk pork was overly deep fried and rock hard. -The ggangpoongki chicken had very little garlic sauce, no seasoning, and very little flavor. -The jjampong broth did not taste right. It was definitely missing the Korean red pepper wok hei ("breath of the wok") flavors. If you have tried jjampong noodle soups in Incheon (South Korea), y'all know what I'm talking about. The high ratings on Yelp and Google reviews are deceiving. This is one Korean-Chinese restaurant you can skip! read more

Their jjajangmyeon tasted burnt - tasting notes similar to coffee, and their jjamppong was bland and lacked depth. Both their noodles were overcooked and soft, and their fried dumplings were a-okay at best. Difficult to recommend. read more

After the impressive experience at the Frisco location, I decided to check out the original location and order take-out after a long work week. I decided to order gan jjajang, kkanpoong-gi and fried dumplings. I asked if they sell just a side of jjamppong soup, but they unfortunately did not, which was semi-upsetting, but okay. I got the food and came home immediately to try the food. The gan jjajang was A1 as usual -- so flavorful, and the noodles were so good. Because the gan jjajang as this oil, the sauce mixed with the noodles very quickly without much work. Definitely one of the best gan jjajang I've had in the States. The fried dumplings were good. I was very happy because it didn't taste like typical store-bought Bibigo dumplings, but they didn't give me any soy sauce which was fine. I just ate it with my jjajangmyun. The gganpoonggi was where it was a little disappointing. The flavor was very lacking, and it wasn't as sweet as I'd like it to be. I had high hopes because I really liked the spicy tangsooyook, but the gganpoonggi was just lackluster, which is one of the main reasons why I took off one star. Overall, Dong Bo Sung has great food. Though I will probably not order the gganpoonggi again (or maybe I'll try it when I dine in since take out also did cool down the food), I will definitely return for more jjajangmyun. The Frisco location also looks much cleaner, probably because this original location is older. read more

We came here with BYOB. Ordered several dishes. All taste great, and people are soooo nice! When i dropped chopstick, they already brought one in a second. They talked nicely, and atmosphere was great. Above all, food was good! I would come here agajn! read more

Horrible experience at this place. Ordered their tangsuyuk (fried beef) and it tasted god awful. Soggy batter, tough meat. So i politely asked the server if he can take it back; he goes ahead and brings out the owner - and this dude was super aggressive from the get go. I explained why it didn't taste good and pleaded him to try it himself but he kept repeating that they use high quality ribeye and there's no way it can taste bad. read more

We ordered a jjajamgmyun and jjampong. The jjampong wasn't the worst, but tasted watered down. Definitely tried better than that though. The jjajangmyun was even worse. Tasted burnt. I kindly asked the owner if I can get it remade because I saw burnt pieces in there. They remade it but still had burnt pieces and smelled like cigarette ashes so I just put it on the side and didn't eat it and the owner kept questioning me on why I'm not eating it so I just told him "oh I'm just not eating it....." and he got mad saying "it's not burnt though. I don't understand you" and I just said "I get it but I just don't want to eat it." And he scoffed at me and kept saying "I don't understand you..." Uh... why am I being forced to eat something that I don't want to eat?! I paid for it regardless so why does it matter if I eat it or not... read more

This place would get 5 stars if the food was consistently prepared by Chef Hsu. On the days he's cooking, you'll get the best jjajangmyun ANYWHERE. But if he's not cooking, the noodles and the sauce are worst enemies of each other and do not meld together at all. Gganpungi (fried chicken in sweet and spicy sauce) will have gamey smell and the fry batter will be way too thick if the second-in-command is cooking. I wish Chef Hsu did better quality control of his staff because I really do love his cooking. read more

My mom and I really enjoyed this place. The black bean noodle and jjambbong (the seafood spicy stew?) were both amazing! I think this is the best place I've tried since moving to texas! I was initially surprised at their portion, but the food was even more amazing. The price is really reasonable for the quality and quantity of food. I don't live in Dallas but I would definitely go back to this place when I visit Dallas. 10/10 recommend! read more

This is a fabulous Korean-Chinese restaurant that can hold its own against some of the top restaurants in Korea. The owner/chef was trained at Lotte Hotel's Toh Lim and was in charge of Chinese cuisine at the Blue House (Korea's presidential residence). Dallas is incredibly lucky to have a restaurant of this caliber. Venture a little from your basic jjajangmyun and tang soo yook. Instead try their chili shrimp, scallop dishes, pal bo chae, ryu san seul etc. You'll see why this place is a true gem. read more

I remember this used to be a Korean restaurant back 20 years ago. I haven't been in this plaza since then and it's good to see a good Chinese Korean restaurant arrive. The interior is much better than the typical Chinese Korean, which tends to be cheaply done. This place received some care in the design. They also have some private rooms where karaoke was bumping but the general dining area is wide and can seat around 40. The workers were all friendly and helpful. The interior is well maintained. We ordered the black bean noodles, which were really good. We also got a seafood dish (not sure the name or price since I didn't pay), which was really good. It had lots of seafood chunks in it on a huge dish. Overall, it was a solid Chinese Korean restaurant. read more

Local spot for jajangmyun ( black bean noodles). We ordered the Dongbosung special cold dishes, scorched rice with seafood, and jajangmyun. Dongbosung special cold dishes is one of their specialties. It's composed of jelly fish marinated in spicy chinese mustard, shrimp, conch, scallops, and pressed beef. It also has a few pieces of Chinese stinky egg which is considered a delicacy in China. The scorched rice with seafood is mixed table side. They pour the seafood dish onto crispy rice for a super sizzling dish! Portions are generous here so be prepared to take home leftovers. read more

We came here at 3pm starving and looking for noodles, and this place did not disappoint! We ordered a jjajangmyun with ground pork and seafood noodle soup with white mushroom. The portions are huge! I saw a picture and assumed it was the jjajangmyun for 2, but turns out it was the regular, so I can't imagine how big the one for 2 is. jjajangmyun - the sauce is pretty good, but the noodles were what really made this dish great. They have a really nice texture - springy and chewy. They give scissors to cut the noodles and make it easier to eat. seafood noodle soup - it comes in this massive bowl, and they did not skimp on the seafood (clams, squid, shrimp, and scallops) or the veggies (white mushroom, onions, and napa cabbage). The broth is really rich and flavorful, and the noodles are similar to the ones in jjajangmyun, but get soft after sitting in the soup for a while (which is expected). For the price, this place is really worth it - for $20, the two dishes are enough to feed 2 people twice. Also they give a slice of grapefruit at the end which was really refreshing :) read more

We ate here last September with friends and loved it. Their dishes were massive and we ordered way too much food but I didn't get to review until now when we are back in town and things are different with Covid. We are driving through and I thought of this place. I was craving some jambong seafood spicy noodle and jajangmyun black bean noodle. They were so good here. So we ordered for pick up. It's a far drive from our hotel in The Colony. And we got a bit lost and onto a tollway but it was well worth it. We ordered the extra large seafood spicy noodle and extra large black bean seafood noodle, mapo tofu $15 which we thought was a bit high and sweet and sour pork which was fried and by the time we got to the hotel it was a bit dry. But sauce still good. When we picked it they put everything in a box. We asked for plates but the server said they didnt have any but the nice owner came out and gave us some. He even came out to make sure everything was ok. In the box it didn't look like much but when we got to the hotel and after serving it all n pouring it all out we realized it's a ton of food. The noodles were stuck together but when you mix it with the soup and black bean sauce it was perfect and so good. Perfect. We had leftovers. It's enough. Tummy was happy. Glad we got to eat it again. read more

Had a fantastic lunch with my husband at Dong Bo Sung. We ordered the flower bread, fried rice and sautéed seafood. We told the waiter that we don't want amy pork or beef in the fried rice - and voila! we had a lot of shrimp, scallops, crab pieces and egg in it. The seafood platter was awesome - It had a great selection of seafood in it. The waiter was really smart - Best service I have ever received. He took one look at our faces and asked whether we needed forks and the spicy sauce. read more

I was feeling sick so I was searching up some places that had any soup... Luckily I found this place! I had to get their fried buns because so many people were raving about it in the reviews and I was so glad that I did! They were so soft and tasted amazing!!! For my soup I got the seafood noodle soup! It was so much food I had to split it in half and finish the rest later! When I say there's a lot of food trust me there is a bunch! I'm usually a dark hole when it comes to eating but they for sure stopped my stomach from eating so much! read more

If it was up to my kids, they would eat at the same places. My son usually wants Hmart, Paik's, or go to Mitsuwa and eat soup noodles with eggs (what he calls ramen). My daughter would want queso. I'm tex mexed out. I love hmart, but let's try something new dammit. I go searching on Yelp. I decide on here. It has something for all. Not a soul in the parking lot when we arrive. Walking in, the lobby had a not so pleasant smell. Luckily, the smell stayed in the lobby. The lobster in the fish tank looked like it was on its last leg. At this point, I was ready to turn around and walk out the door. My husband didn't say anything, he would be the first to say "let's go" My kids didn't say anything and they have no filter. They would say loudly, "What the hell is that smell, mom?" Maybe they didn't notice the smell or the lobster. I'm sure they did. Well, okay then. I trekked on passed the main entrance. Got seated immediately. Greasy menus. I know one thing for sure; I'm not ordering lobster. My opinionated kids and husband aren't bothered. Maybe it's just me. 10-15 minutes after being there, the place starts to get busy. Okay, good. Jajangmyeon and Jjamppong seem to be the specialty because EVERY table had one or the other. Our food was out fast. Freaky fast, like a Jimmy John's sandwich. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or bad. Son got black bean noodles with seafood. Daughter got the noodle soup with seafood and vegetables. The husband and I shared the braised shrimp in chili sauce. I hope the Shrimp wasn't in the tank chillin with that lobster. Aside from all of that, the food was good. The black bean noodles were delicious. Shrimp and squid came mixed in. Daughter's soup was also really good. I liked our meal. The shrimp wasn't dirty tasting, they tasted fresh. The chili sauce was thick and had a good flavor. It filled you up quickly. My Korean dry cleaning man and my kids usually chat about the goodies they get from Hmart every weekend. Every time I go in to pick up or drop of clothes (usually Monday), he will ask what we ate on the weekend. I forgot the name of this place and just told him a place on Emerald St. He mentioned this restaurant and said he really liked it. I guess I chose well. I'll be back to try the seafood noodle soup. Leanin towards 3, but I'll give it a 4. read more

I'm glad they finally relocated and relaunched. I came here with a group of ten for a staff type of meeting. We decided to go total family style and share several family dishes to pass around. Here's a list of what we got: 1. Jumbo Jajangmyeon 2. King Shrimp JjamPpong 3. Sweet Chili Shrimp 4. Mapa Tofu 5. Kampoongi (Sweet Chili Fried Chicken) 6. Spicy Chicken Wings I got to try each dish and I have to say the sweet chili shrimp and the King shrimp JjamPpong was delicious! I was pretty disappointed with the Jjajangmyun because I love my jjagmyun with a bold flavor, but it just seemed pretty underwhelming and bland for my taste. The Jjampong broth was amazing and I love the variety of seafood that it comes with. I know this usually comes with comfort Chinese food, but there's obviously a overload amount of msg in these dishes.. But I've never felt like such utter crap after eating a meal. I instantly felt groggy and dehydrated, and just felt like dying.. But that's obviously something you come in expecting for this type of food. I'll probably be back but might take it easy on the Jjajangmyun. read more

Decided to give their new location a try and the quality did not disappoint! Don't let the prices scare you ($20 average) they have really large portions that you'll no doubt have to get a to-go box for. Between my mom and I we got the seafood udon noodle soup and the shredded pork with green peppers. The peppers were fresh and the pork was not overcooked. It had a nice kick to it that was unexpected from the jalapeños. The noodle soup was delicious, the broth was not too salty and had generous portions of scallops, shrimp, squid, and clams. The noodles themselves were cooked to perfection. The new location is small but much cleaner and modern feeing. The service is good and we got our food pretty quickly. Their menu is mostly catered towards sharing and eating family style so I would def make an event of it if you wanna try more than two dishes on their vast menu. I will most definitely be a repeat customer! read more
