    Good quality Korean food. Service is quick and the waitress is very attentive and helps refilling the side dishes. Food is delicious but a bit pricey. Great place for sharing dishes with a group of friends and family. Love their seafood pancakes. Perfect ratio in the fillings (seafood and green onion) and the batter. It's very crispy outside a soft inside.

    Situated in a revamped KFC location, Gold Spoon is small but mighty-- we were surprised how the tiny kitchen could cook for all the tables (and handle washing so many plates). It was solid meal in a casual setting :) ** Chive pancake-- really liked this one! Crispy edges with a hot almost gooey interior. The chives add a little brightness and almost sweetness. I didn't even need the dipping sauce, which MT said just tasted like soy sauce. ** Boiled sliced pork / bossam-- the medium size is big enough to share for two and beautifully presented. Wrap a slice up in lettuce, add some of the soybean sauce and kimchi or veggies, and you got yourself a delicious bite! I'm not a bossam expert, but this was really tender for lean pork. There's a strip of fat/skin that makes it melt-in-your mouth, but it still tender even if you separate that part off. ** LA short ribs / kalbi-- marinated well and flavorful. I thought it was a little too salty, and MT thought it was a little too glazed/sweet. The meat quality was good but not LA level. Tasty nonetheless! Service was friendly and helpful, coming often to replace the water pitcher or ask if we wanted refills for the side dishes. Come earlier or make a reservation, since the space is small. Happy to have tried Gold Spoon-- their bossam set the bar high!

    Seafood scallion pancake

    I'm always on the look out for some good Korean food, and this spot was a hit! The interior is small and cozy, and there was no wait on a Sunday during lunchtime. The seafood scallion pancake was a must, and I will say that I've had better seafood pancakes at other Korean spots, but this was still solid (I'd give it a 4 out of 5-the batter was slightly slightly underdone in my opinion.) The banchan was fresh and flavorful, and there are free refills on everything besides the tofu. The beef intestine soup was so delicious! I haven't had hearty Korean soup in a while, so this was perfect on a cooler day. There was a good amount of intestines and tripe, and I loved that it was kept hot and bubbling on the gas burner. The flavor was great, and it was the perfect amount of spiciness to enhance all the meaty flavors of the soup. (Also a 4 out of 5 for the dish--I thought it was just missing something that I couldn't put my finger on.) I do think it was a bit on the pricier end too, with tax and tip, those two items ended up being about $100. But I will say the experience was great :)

    Very solid Korean food and service at a medium size, mid scale restaurant! Rating 9/10 Pros: Great dishes, rapid service. Cons: Slightly pricy.

    Galbi
    Jen D.

    Food was so good. So delicious and flavorful. Every thing we had was perfect. Restaurant is nicely setup and very clean. Loved it.

    Bibimbap
    Debbie O.

    I have been craving bibimbap for a month and finally decided to find a korean restaurant near by. We walked into a space that looked to have previously been used as a fast food restaurant and was seated. They provided water, and all the ute sils required already at the booth. For food, I got bibimbap and my partner ordered the Galbi, and we got the seafood pancake to share. When they started bringing out the sides, we took a bite of the kimchi and immediately knew, this was going to be excellent. The food was fantastic, service immaculate. We enjoyed everything we got and left so satisfied. Looking forward to returning in the near future.

    I ate at Gold Spoon recently and was very pleased. The ambiance is clean and decor is nice. The dining area is small but did not feel cramped. I ordered the beef bulgogi and asked them to make it spicy. They served banchan first, as is expected. The small dishes were good, but not exceptional, although I particularly enjoyed pickled peppers (top left dish in my picture). The bulgogi was served hot and fresh, and was full of flavor. That flavor became increasingly spicy (per my request) as I ate. I was not disappointed. The service was quick, efficient, and polite. No issues whatsoever. Gold Spoon didn't disappoint but it did not stand much above other Korean spots. I'll need to visit again to get a better sense of what makes them standout.

    Food here was delish! It was my first time trying bossam and it was so good. I loved how the meat was prepared. The galbi is also a must try. Service was amazing and i would definitely come back!

    Pork Belly
    Jacquelyn C.

    This place can be a little pricey but the food is good and the portions are large. We got the budae jjigae, seafood pajeon, and grilled pork belly. The army stew came in a large pot and was boiled on a portable stove at the table. It was incredibly filling, spicy, and flavorful. It comes with two types of noodles, rice cakes, sausage, spam, tofu, and some vegetables--very hearty! The samgyeopsal came out sizzling and went very well with the sauce they prepared. The seafood pancake was thick, but still crispy on the edges. They also gave lots of banchan and were very generous with refilling. The waitresses here are Korean aunties and they're so nice and welcoming!

    Janus C.

    Delicious and really friendly service. Banchan are plentiful and refilled - faves were the kimchi. I loved the short rib soup - clear soup and tender short ribs. I didn't love the bossam to be honest, but the pancake was awesome and crispy!

    Bibimbap comes with a soup. Love it!
    Lily F.

    Finally got to try Gold Spoon and very glad we did! We came in for a random lunch and ordered the Bibimbap and the Spicy Pork to share. With the banchan, a small soup and a bowl or rice with the pork dish, we had more than enough food for the two of us. The service was great and the place was clean. Overall, a very solid Korean spot that reminds me of true home cooking. We can't wait to come back and try their Army Soup!

    This is a cute resturant in a quaint area in Carrollton the customer service is excellent as well as the good. We loved everything we ate and I wouldn't mind coming back. It was a little warm inside due to maybe AC issues but I don't fault them for that.

    Banchan
    Stacy W.

    Food and service were fantastic! Super excited to finally try this spot out after learning about it months ago. We were immediately seated but I think we came at a right time. 10 mins after we sat down, lots of people came in but majority of them also had reservations. Not sure of reservation requirements though. For the price, the food quality and taste were good. The bulgogi was tender and flavorful, tofu soup had assortment of proteins and was tasty.

Before the main event, we got the seafood & green onion pancake. Crispy on the outside and reasonably chewy interior. Good amount of seafood; in particular, the oyster stood out. It was also a nice portion that was ideal for sharing. I opted for the seafood soondubu. Everything, from the banchan to the specific side dishes served with the soondubu, came out not too long after ordering. I got it at spice level three which I thought offered the right amount of kick without being too overwhelming (I also like to think I have a pretty strong spice tolerance). It had a good variety of seafood; namely, the shrimp and oyster. I'm not the biggest fan of clams but they were definitely still tasty. The tofu was soft and silky. The yellow croaker and rice were great supplements to the dish. The rice perfectly absorbed the broth. The croaker added a nice crunchy break from everything. The banchan was pretty standard in my opinion - still, a great complement to the soondubu. Last but not least - service was attentive and quick. I will definitely be coming back at some point!

The restaurant had plenty of space, but service was still super fast and efficient anyway, which I loved. What I love about Chodang is that the food is stellar and such good PORTIONS. Knowing this, I still opted to order a Combo Special because the thought of having leftovers for the next day sounded great to me. I ordered the Kimchi Tofu Soup with Beef Bulgogi, and it was delicious. I usually order my soups at the Spicy level, which I would say has a kick and flavor but never leaves me panting for air or water. As someone who likes spice, I wouldn't say it's very spicy, but definitely flavorful. Beef Bulgogi is one of my favorite dishes, and this place's version does not disappoint. The meat is tender and has a good balance of sweet and salty. My friends also ordered Combo Specials with a Tofu soup and the Korean bbq ribs, and Spicy Pork Bulgogi. One of these friends opted for the medium spice level, which I would say is a safe choice for everyone, especially if you're worried about something being too spicy. All soups come with Korean side dishes, a whole grilled yellow croaker fish (delicious but lots of bones), and a hot stone bowl of rice. Nothing missed!
