Updated Review - I returned in March 2026 and had a delicious Korean lunch, very much the same experience as several years ago. All the pictures attached are new. The place is run by a super nice older lady, there by herself doing everything. Beautiful, colorful bibimbap, had the spicy pork and it was great, as were the pot stickers. Vibrant, fresh colors and flavors in the bibimbap - see the photo. After lunch I had a nice chat with her and she's just charming. I'm guessing the horrible reviews of a bad manager were of someone else. Here's my initial review from 2020: Had a terrific lunch here - five ingredients in a bento-style box, each one delicious. The place is chock full of Korean stuff - food, candy, tchotchkes, reminded me very much of shopping in Little Korea. The mother and son team cooking and serving are adorable, incredibly sweet and eager to please. If the place were a little cleaner and kept neatly I'd give it five stars, but the clutter actually made it feel more authentic. I had a blast trying this undoubtedly authentic food and look forward to the next time. read more

A few weeks ago I was craving korean dishes on the way to Montgomery & this was conveniently close to I-45 so i stored in & it was a great experience! It doubles as a bit of a convenience store filled with all kinds of Asian treats/candies/snacks & sodas. I ordered korean equivalent to a bento box meal & it was so much food & so delicious! (Get the sweet & spicypork ! By far my favorite thing about this place is the staff it seems it's a truly family owned & operated restaurant. They are so personable with their customers calling them by name & remembering ones who have moved away. I will definitelysupport this business when I am in the area again. read more

There's not a lot of choices of Korean food in the area and had a big craving for some kimbap. This place popped up on my search result so I decided to pay it a visit. The café is located in a strip mall. I walked into a cozy cafe, ABBA playing on the speakers, an eclectic mix of Ramen, Korean memorabilia toys, and games. It felt like I was transported into an authentic Korean shop of yesteryear. I think I hit the jackpot! Was hungry and excited so I did not pay attention to any of the signs and just walked up to the register to order . The wonderful aroma coming from behind the counter made my mouth water. Then the lady, in stern grandma fashion asked if I wrote down my order? Dang it, hunger pangs - was not prepared! Should've read the directions. I quickly wrote down "Kimbap and mandu". This was followed by an even sterner "what kind? And you know you should have called this in bc now you have to wait." Shoot double unprepared! Outsiders might find this rude or offensive, but you have to keep an open mind when trying authentic cultural cuisine. I knew that my food was going be amazing! Boy was I correct! Kimbap was one of the best I had! I don't have to drive downtown for some authentic Korean food. Highly recommend the food and great place if you are looking for a quiet lunch. For those who are closed minded and entitled this might not be your scene. Definitely would be back again - this time more prepared of course. read more

Food made with love! It was our first visit so we were unsure of what to order, but figured it out quickly. They were nice and accommodating to my picky 4 year old. We will definitely be returning when we are in the area. read more

Am axing food and the owners are so nice! It is a small & quaint- restaurant! I have found the food to be always freshly cooked!

I wish we had been here a long time ago. Super service and the food tasted like exactly like I was in Korea.

Went here a while ago! Food was okay, the service wasn't great. The person I was with asked how to pronounce something and the person taking the order said "it's pronounced exactly how it's spelt." Would've been quicker if they just said how it was actually pronounced. read more

Went to eat there today was so excited to eat and get some kimbab... however, when asking simple questions like beef for chicken recommendation, was yelled at by owner and was very rude. And walked away from the counter multiple times cussing in Korean, I don't speak Korean, but my wife was with me and she is Korean. I couldn't believe this I would not recommend this place to anyone read more

Small Cafe with authentic Korean Food made from the Heart and with love from both mother and daughter Most menu items made from scratch. My dinner companion and I both really enjoyed the bulgogi. I had the combination plate that was served aside kimchi, rice , 2 shrimp Tempura and potstickers and a cream cheese egg roll I can't wait to come back and try other menu items like their galbi They are closed Sunday so get your fix any other day Small grocery items also for sale with with snacks read more

Was craving kimchi chigae and they had the yummiest kimchi soup Ive ever had. It's a very small mom and pop little shop with limited items so expect to wait a little longer depending on your order (potstickers or mandoo was out in less than 10 mins but the soup took a little longer) but that's because they do it all from scratch. They advised me that if I wanted something off menu like sundubue-jjigae id have to call in earlier or even the day before. I most definitely will the next time because I know they'll do it right. Everytime I find myself this far up north ill make sure to give them a visit! Will try the galbi and bibimbap next! Just removed one star for ambiance but other than that they were awesome! read more

What an amazing experience! Literally felt like we walked into someone's house for dinner. The service was personable..the food..brought me back to the hawker markets of Singapore..simply incredible!!! Please please support this small business!! read more

Dosirak is a hit with my family. The food is delicious and the ambience is cozy and personable. There's always a different snack for us to try when we go. We love getting the Kimbap and cupbap but recently tried the kimchi-jjigae since it's cold out and it's 10/10. The owner Ms.Kim is a gem and knows whats shes doing! read more

Extremely rude owner. Yelled at my husband about ordering on separate pieces of paper. Place was disgusting and dirty. Walked right back out the door. No thanks. read more

Delicious authentic Korean food. Small place but excellent food. Owner is great and generous

Very lovely mom and pop Korean restaurant! From a first impression, this restaurant is unassuming. Food is served on plastic trays. There's styrofoam water cups. Very simple and straightforward decor. But the food and owners were phenomenal! The food is comforting and tasty. You can tell that it was homemade with care. The ambiance was very inviting, warm, and personable. And I think that is what keeps customers coming back. The Dosirak lunchbox was a great deal! You get a combo of meat, rice, kimchi, tempura, dumplings, and the side dish of the day. The spicy pork was to die for!! Def my favorite! And the portions were very filling. The side of the day we received was a cheesecake eggroll- very interesting but good! We also got an order of dumplings, which were 10 for $8. Amazing deal and very tasty! There's also a mini grocery store inside the restaurant. There's a small selection of Asian snacks, such as ramen,chips, cookies, ice cream. I'm so glad I stumbled across this gem! read more

We ordered beef Bulgogi, and it was so overwhelmingly sweet that it was hard to eat. Thankfully, the portion was small. If we were to judge based on the portion size, this is definitely the most expensive Korean restaurant we've ever been to (the side dishes were just a small plate of kimchi). Table was sticky and we had to wipe it ourselves. Definitely won't be returning to this store. read more

The best restaurant in Conroe maybe Houston! Cannot stress enough how good the food is and how kind and thoughtful the owner is. Everything is fresh and handmade and so tasty! Please support this local business! (I would have taken a picture of the food but I already ate it! I couldn't wait!) read more

Dosirak Korean Cafe - Korean Near Me - Conroe, Texas

For those of you who know what good Korean food is like, this is pretty good tasting Korean food. The store is in a pretty good strip center, but decor needs a little work. My wife is Korean and she says this is a good as anything in Houston. For Conroe, this is pretty good tasting food. Their lunch boxes are pretty good, bibimbop is is very tasty, and the bulgogi is very flavorful and the quantity is generous. The problem with these guys is it takes forever to get served when you just walk in. We have been there many times and after we ordered, they were busy cooking away on food and someone walks in and gets their food right away (apparently pre-ordered, a regular or well known to them). So if you are willing to wait 30 minutes for your food, you are good. My 1 star review is primarily because of their slowness and the lady owner that works there seems to always be a sour puss and not friendly. The straw that broke the camel's back was when she was rude to me on the phone (I was trying to place an order for pickup in late morning). She kept hanging up on me when I called and I thought it was a mistake. After a couple of hangups, she finally said "Don't call back!" I don't go back and this was years ago - still remember it as one of the worst customer service experiences ever. My wife for years said, "let's go back - maybe she's sorry or is going through something bad." But I don't forget those experiences very easily, so we went elsewhere. She said she went back and the owner lady acted like she didn't even know her. She stopped going too. read more

Why 5 stars? Because of delicious food and friendly people. --- --- --- I've wanted to stop by here for a while now and I'm glad I finally did. I was hungry enough to order both the bulgogi and the galbi, but unfortunately they were out of the galbi so I just settled for the former. It was very light and very delicious. In addition, the woman who took my order could not have been more friendly. I bought some Hi-Chew's for the wife and she offered to let me have a second one for free because she thought I should try another flavor. It probably only would have cost me another dollar or two, but she couldn't have been more nice about it. That gesture was enough to push this up from a 4-star to a 5-star for me. read more

We got the Dosirak plate and an extra order of mondoo and it was fast and fresh. The owner was so sweet in helping us order and offering things that were not on the menu as well. We purchased some food items from the prepackaged section and she was giving us tips on what to add and how to prepare it. Overall, I would say this is a nicer hole-in-the-wall kind of place and authentic feeling service. We plan on going back! read more

Food is delicious and I wish I could give 5 stars. Things to consider are ambiance and cleanliness. This place definitely needs deep cleaning. Water machine is so dirty that I was thinking how safe is to even drink that water. She asked to use a New cup, but would it even matter? Floor and walls are dirty and that smell of grease inside. Service was good, I would not expect anything better though. Would I recommend? Yes, good food. Would I come back? Probably not. read more

The food is delicious. I've gone twice. I got bibimbap on one visit and japchae on another. The owner is very nice and prepares your meal when you order. The restaurant is very clean. I live in Houston but when I am near Conroe, this is my spot. If you want true Korean .. highly recommend. read more

I love, love, love this restaurant! Their kimchi is the best. The owner and her daughter are so kind and welcoming. If I could afford to eat there every week, I would! To the owner: You are amazing! Thank you for doing such amazing work and cooking such phenomenal food! Also fun to know, they have authentic Korean products you can purchase (I watch k-dramas and had seen this really cool pump soap. Went to this place and they had it! I purchased it immediately. It is amazing! ) I love going here! Keep up the amazing work! read more

this place is so yummy, service is quick, and it is a great homey ambiance. I will definitely be back!

The owner is so nice, always a good experience at Dosirak. The food is very soulful and I've always had good experiences. People don't understand that korean food tends to be sweet even in Korea. That's what makes it korean food sometimes. The atmosphere is very home-y and always clean! Again props to the owner because she does everything mostly alone and thats hard for people to do these days! read more

Best kimchi ever. Great authentic Korean food. Owner is very kind and remembers customers who haven't visited in a while. Place takeaway order at least 30 minutes before pick-up. They are usually very busy (especially during lunch hours), and it's sometimes just the owner working the kitchen. read more

Absolutely the best Korean food I have ever had!!! I was greeted promptly and the food was AMAZING! This is a family owned and operated establishment- all of their food is made from scratch! They have fun drinks and snacks that you can buy as well. Highly recommend and I will definitely be back soon!!! read more

We were passing thru Conroe and searched for a Korean spot and this place came up. Cute little place that includes grocery items which I thought was cool. The owner was there alone but served us well. I enjoyed the Dosirak Box while my brother had bulgogi. Kimchee is really good as were the pickles. The lady took a shine to my niece and gave her a mango smoothie. Such a pleasant homey casual spot! read more

Amazing food, very friendly staff, overall I could not reccomend you try them enough!

Honest little korean cafe, mom and pop, plastic plates and cutlery, but very authentic and a good value. not date material, but fine for a meal on the go. take out or eat in. read more

The food quality and presentation was pretty subpar considering the great reviews. I ordered the chicken and beef bulgogi plates to-go. Chicken was over cooked and dry. The beef flavor was mild and really small in portion. I would not recommend this place to people trying out Korean food. Especially for the gouged prices here. If you can drive to Houston Spring Branch area, you can get much better quality Korean food there in K-town. read more
