Was craving some Korean food, and we were greeted right away by the staff. The place was clean, but empty. They were at work with orders, so it seemed like take out was more popular than dining in. We ordered the sweet potato waffle fries and it was yummy. I got the bulgogi bibimbap and it came with miso soup and a lettuce salad with ranch on the side. Seems like a lot of food for the price. The miso soup was good. I wish the lettuce in the salad wasn't so wet and that they tossed it a bit to get rid of the excess water, since it made the dressing watery. The bulgogi had good flavor, but it was big chunks of meat stuck together that I had to cut it up. The teriyaki sauce on the side really helped the dish because alone it lacked flavor. The noodles were ok, but I've had better. Similar review from my boyfriend with his Chicken Teriyaki bibimbap. read more

Gangnam Rice - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Texas

The food was fair for a first time. The "salad bar" looked like an eColi breeding ground and quite unappealing, The swamp water soup was not good. It was our first time experiencing BiBimBop and the person at the register rushed us through the process (no one in line behind us) and had zero patience for questions, she just kept repeating the same thing. I'm hoping this was just because it was a language barrier and want to give it a benefit of the doubt. But I have to score it poorly on service. I won't return. read more

Gangnam Rice - Kid S Bowl (3 Toppings & Mixed In) - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I got a build your own bowl and it was really easy to order. The cashier was extremely helpful and answered all my questions. It was pretty empty for a Saturday night which was nice because it was quiet inside. Food was 10/10 and I recommend getting the hot bowl because it makes the rice crispy at the bottom. I love the sides bar and I got seaweed salad and miso soup. For the price, this place is amazing! read more

Gangnam Rice - Bimbimbap - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Texas

I got bibimbap with spicy bulgogi and purple rice. The bulgogi was really good. I didn't realize we had to add our own sauces. The purple rice was good too, better and more starchy than brown rice. We were able to get a small bowl of miso soup too. I also got the yakult tea, which was pretty good. read more

Gangnam Rice - Regular Bowl - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Texas

The place is exceptionally clean, the service is great, and the soup and salad bar is a very nice addition to the place. The food itself is neither bad nor outstanding. None of the appetizers we ordered were special or memorable in any way shape or form. The rice bowls themselves - despite all the toppings - lacked flavor. They were bland and overall very average. I do not see myself returning here however, I do not regret dining here and will dine at a restaurant with a similar concept soon. read more

I ordered from Uber Eats. The bowl of rice with bulgogi, also the kimbab. Both does not have taste, especially the meat and the chapjae. It is horrible. It used to be good but not anymore. Maybe if you eat at the restaurant, it will be better. read more

Came here with a friend and this was a great spot for a quick fast eat. We ordered a bowl customized with protein and veggies of choice. They also provided a salad bar which was a nice addition. Overall great place for something quick and easy! read more

I was really excited when I heard about this place. I wanted to be able to rave about it, but sadly I won't be able to. I arrived today about 12:40 for lunch. Pros: nice staff, great miso soup, a good # of Korean drinks, food comes out piping hot, great bulgogi, and they play Kpop Cons: lacks taste, the chicken wasn't fresh, no soju I'll go back and give it another try after they have been open for a while. read more

One of my favorite spots for Korean food! Their bowls are always fresh, flavorful, and so satisfying. The sides are delicious and really complete the meal. Great portions and amazing taste every time. Highly recommend if you're craving a good Korean meal! read more

This is not your traditional Korean spot. You build your bowl to your liking. Got a regular size bowl with roasted seaweed, fried onion, Korean purple rice, spicy shrimp, bean sprout, broccoli, carrot, egg, mushroom, spinach and zucchini. The purple rice was a great choice. They do offer a stone bowl which keeps your food hot. They have beef and veggie versions of yaki mandoo. Beef was amazing to me. I'd go back for that alone. They do have a salad bar. If you share a bowl, don't recommend getting the salad bar. It gets strange with the cost. read more

Food was delicious. Though I didn't stay and eat, the ambiance looked nice inside when I went to pick up my food. Service was nice as well.

I had the shrimp tempura kimbap and it wasn't as good as it was before. I'm not sure if it was because it was 6pm, but I don't remember the kimbap being so watery. When I received it was shinny but I thought it was so it looks nice. I couldn't finish it because it just tasted like water. read more

Yelp introduced us to this place! It's clean and you choose what you want which is like the poke tiki concept and we like it. Price is affordable. Love the side dishes offered - thank you for that! Very clean and spacious place. Overall we like it and plan to come back. Staff are welcoming so please TIP them! read more

Gangnam Rice serves up delicious warm Korean bowls. They allow you to easily customize your own bowl with a variety of proteins, toppings, and bases. Alongside this, portions are huge and prices are fair. I ordered a bowl with white rice, bulgogi, fish cakes, sunny side up egg, etc. and it was everything I could've asked for. The flavors merged perfectly together and everything was fresh. I ordered the same thing on a different occasion and it wasn't as fresh as the first time I went, so I'm unsure if the quality remains consistent. Overall, if you're looking for a quick bite I'd highly recommend going to Gangnam Rice. read more

Nice quiet restaurant. Very clean restaurant. Super friendly staff. Prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get! Portions are large. Flavors are amazing. Would definitely come back and eat here again next time I'm in the area. read more

I didn't really care for my food here. I got a spicy bulgogi bowl with everything, dined in - sauce are on the side. They have a salad and soup bar that I wasn't really sure of it purpose and didn't use. I was the only diner in the place, a couple of people came for pick up orders. The dumplings weren't anything special. I liked the bean sprout in the bowl. I don't really have anything to stay about it, it was pretty average, boring tbh and bland. read more

Best place ever. Not sure if it is still in business. Food was always great. The vegetarian and tofu options were amazing.

It was my first time there. The food was okay but I wouldn't be back, Also the person who took our order had a bad attitude and not one time would ask if anything was alright. The person didn't communicate what so ever, he was also cussing the whole time and we even had kids there. read more

Took the regular bowl through uber eats with tofu and shrimp. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Everything was good.

It was delicious and authentic. I was impressed as to how fresh and inexpensive it was. I will definitely go back when I am in the area.

I've visted twice and ordered a teryaki bowl with white rice, broccoli, carrots, and a fried egg. The bowl is a nice size and tasty! The only issue is they could definitely add more meat. The teryaki and bbq sauces are perfectly made for the bowls. They also come with soup and salad. Reminds me of Burning Rice but cheaper. read more

Gangnam Rice - Spicy Shrimp Bento Box Korokke Veggie Mandoo - Korean Near Me - Arlington, Texas

Customizable Korean hot stone rice !!!! I loved the opportunity to try bibimbap with meats other than ground beef/bulgogi like at most Korean places. I tried my sister's pork katsu bowl (fried in panko) and it was absolutely delicious. Crispy and tender juicy pork. Loved how full the bowl is with your choice of veggies noodles and rice. I had the hot stone rice with short ribs. It costs a little more to have it in the hot stone and takes a little longer to come out. The ribs tasted fine. Not as flavorful as I hoped and pretty chewy. It didn't arrive sizzling like I usually hear from other places. There was minimal crispy rice at the bottom. However everything went well together and I still enjoyed my meal. Overall, I enjoyed the experience of the extras you get and customizing my food. I would love to try their other proteins like teriyaki chicken, kimchi pork and their squid. The price is very reasonable. The service is good and quick. Definitely recommend. read more

conveniently located off I-20 in Arlington for those of us that crave Korean food in Tarrant county without having to make the drive to K town in Carrollton. Simple, walk up counter to order your rice bowl like bibimbap with hot stone bowl option, they even have pre made kimbap with Korean purple rice. For dine in there was free self serve soup, salad & side dish bar like pickled radish & miso soup available. Place was clean with plenty of seating & servers were courteous. My gf & I were able to sit, chat & chill, enjoyed our dinner without feeling rushed. read more

I was so excited to try this place for a build your own bibimbap experience! I really enjoyed the food, including the sides offered in the salad bar. The remodel of the old sushi place is very nice and clean looking. We were the only ones there for a while, so not much waiting had to be done! The only thing knocking this down a star is that the beef mandoo clearly says on the menu that it comes with 5 dumplings and they only gave us 4. When I asked, they said it was because they're bigger than the veggie so they only come with 4. As I looked at this pics on Yelp, I could see everyone else got 5! Not sure why we got 4?! read more

I wasn't very impressed with this meal . There were only 3 shrimp in the bowl and the flavor was funky . The dumplings tasted funny as well so I didn't finish either one . I most likely won't order from here again . read more

Absolutely loved it! The music was nice and chill, plenty of room and not busy(we went Friday around 3:30pm and only one couple was there so I hope more ppl find this place to keep it going). The food was so good. I got the spicy bulgolgi hot stone bowl with purple rice and everything except carrots and sesame nori since I'm allergic to both. They still put in the carrots and my allergy isn't extreme enough that I can't just eat around it so I didn't mind. If you have a more serious allergy I would emphasize it. I can't recommend the spicy bulgolgi enough though! It's not super spicy just flavorful and the pieces are the biggest I've ever seen! Not strips! They were still tender though it was so good! Probably my favorite I've had ever. They also brought the food to our table and the girls were so sweet! The fountain drinks are self serve and so is the little buffet table with some things to treat yourself with like miso soup and salad. I helped myself to the seaweed salad while I waited for my food. It was great it was free! Overall I would definitely recommend this place! If they had a bit different decor and slightly louder music it would remind me of the restaurants in carrolton I always want to go back to! Still definitely gonna be a regular here! Glad it's actually such a nice place is so close to home. read more

The kid with dirty blonde/brown hair that worked at 2 PM on 4/15/2025 needs to be fired. I walked in, he greeted me with rolled eyes and a sigh. SO RUDE! So of course I said, never mind." and walked out. I've eaten here before and the food is good, but it's not THAT GOOD to have those high prices and sh#*ty customer service! read more

Both me and my girlfriend havw been sick all week. We really didn't have the energy to cook anything, so we decided to get take out from Gangnam Rice. My gf is vegetarian and got a tofu bowl with a lot of veggies (kimchi, broccoli, bean sprouts carrots) I got a chicken And rice bowl with mushrooms and carrots (I'm allergic to bean sprouts) When we received the food her tofu bowl just had rice egg and my mushroom. my bowl had all her veggies including her bean sprouts. While being sick we spent money on rice and tofu. We called them back and they answered the phone asking to take our order. I explained what happened and asked for a refund, but conveniently for them and unfortunately for us the system is down but only for refunds. gotta love paying money to eat toast while you're sick. read more

BOGO deal on Uber Eats. Came packaged very well. They also included two miso soup, side salads and gochujang. Everything else delicious and fresh! The Korean purple rice is everything! I can't wait to try more kimbap! read more

Okay place, food is not that good and my rice was honestly a little flavorless and dry. Something I did like, we're the options of the food to eat. There was a soup and salad bar which was really nice and useful. I liked the amount of food and toppings that you could choose from to put in your bowl. Service was fast and good. When my bowl was too cold, they heard it up right away. Good service, average food. Wouldn't come here again. read more

I've been to many places in many cities but this is by far one of the worst places i've ever been to. The meat is burnt to a crisp. When we let management know they kindly brought us more burnt meat . For context, I bought the galbi short ribs which are $3 extra. It comes with about 6 piece of meat. All of which are burnt and the replacement meat is only came with 3 pieces. The food is exceptionally bland minus the sauces you can put into them and the taste of burnt leathery meat. Buffet options are stale and have been sitting there. All the food here seems to be premade, thrown into a bowl and reheated. The floors seem to have been mopped with maple syrup, they're so stuck I almost tripped. This place was completely empty otherwise. The best thing I can say about this place is that they have a good music playlist. read more

Interesting food choices and easy to order. I like the buffet for condiments. Plenty of tables and friendly people.

This is my 1st experience with Gangnam Rice & was not disappointed. A staff member greeted me as soon as I walked through the door, her smile never wavered. Atmosphere was really pleasant, spacious & clean. My food was excellent, all of the ingredients were fresh, food was hot, & the flavors were wonderful. I especially like that there isn't a limit on the number of ingredients that I can add to my bowl. I will definitely return. read more

Delicious. Food came out timely and the buffet of sides were a plus! Plan to take my family here.

Short story: DELICIOUS!!! PLEASE GO!!!! I just ate here for the first time. I got the spicy bulgogi ribeye in a hot stone bowl on a bed of purple Korean rice with a bunch of steamed veggies and an egg on top. It was fantastic!!! I wasn't sure about purple rice but it was very tasty and had a nuttier flavor than regular rice. The hot stone bowl gave the rice at the bottom a touch of crunchy that blended with the rest so it was perfect. I will get the hot stone bowl every time for this reason alone. The ribeye was tender and delicious and the veggies were perfect. There's a small buffet that comes with the bowl. It's not complicated nor intended to be. You can get a light salad, miso soup and a beef soup, and fresh fruit. It's a nice accent to the meal. I was very pleased in every way. Ps. Service was nice, friendly, and excellent and the restroom was spotless. read more
