So the restaurant is now called Dalmaekju Restaurant. They moved into a larger space in the same shopping center (suite 115). The banchan were delicious- I especially enjoyed the bean sprouts and the seaweed with pieces of zucchini. I had the Yookgejang which was boiling hot and just the right spiciness. Tons of flavor. The ladies who run the restaurant are all very friendly. Great place for hot Korean soups. read more

What a hidden gem in old korea town. If you want the old-school Korean vibe with kindly ajummas running the place, this is the spot for you. Had the ttokmanduguk (rice cake and dumpling soup), which came with egg and strips of beef mixed in. As good as any I had in Korea. I'll definitely be back here next time I'm in town. read more

Came here with my friends from out of town. Really love it. It reminds me of food from my time in Korea. Homey and hearty soups that are bold with the flavors. Price is reasonable although the area around this place is rough. Will return 9/10 read more

We came here for lunch on a Saturday. It was just a friend and I and we were able to be seated right away. Apparently this is a different restaurant for dinner so I can only speak to lunch. The place is large and not busy even during the peak hours so walking in shouldn't be an issue. The vibe is homey and no frills. I didn't hear any of the servers speaking English so you may have to order in Korean or point at what you want. The food - awesome and authentic! I LOVED both my dumpling soup and the banchan. We also ordered the stir fried pork which was DELICIOUS!! The quality of the food rivals Korea! I really enjoyed my meal here and can't wait to go back! read more

The spicy cow neck soup was average in taste. The Banchan a bit lower than average for its taste. Hot rice cake and dumpling soup was unique and good in flavor. Spicy pork was soft and more tender than most Korean restaurants. They say they are open 7am to 7pm, but we came on a Friday night 6:08pm and they declined serving us. We came back on a Saturday night at 5:30pm and the waitress started clearing out our table at 6:14pm. In short, they don't follow the advertised business hours. read more

The food was surprisingly amazing! This was the only place that was opened at 8AM! They have solid soup (Sugure Gookbab/수구레 국밥) is the order everyone was ordering! It isn't the nicest interior decor inside but the soup definitely warms up your soul and makes it feel cozy! read more

This place is "a hole in the wall" but those are always the best places to get authentic food. The soup came out boiling hot which I love and the side dishes were good as well! It's a smaller restaurant so may not be great for very large groups (groups of 4 or less would work). Service was also kind and quick. If you're looking for authentic Korean food, try this place out and support this local restaurant! read more

Gomonae - Tofu soup and side dishes - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Was a bit skeptical first arriving here. I came for breakfast and was craving Korean soup. This happened to pop up on my list of nearby places open. I decided to give it a try. When arriving you start to think of this place is actually open or not since we went in the morning. Around 8/9am the plaza looks dead and closed but the restaurant was open which made me happy. Upon entering the nice ahjumah told me to take a seat anywhere I liked. It's definitely a small restaurant but reminded me so much of your typical restaurant when I lived in Korea. The place isn't glamorous by any means but feels very comfy like home. I ordered the yukhaejang and the bulgogi. It came with purple rice and 6 different banchans. All the banchans were definitely quality and fresh. The soup came out boiling and the bulgogi steaming. Yukhaejang: nice and piping hot. Slightly spicy and never lacked ingredients. Had a nice portion of meat inside and replenished my Korean soup craving. Bulgogi: nice tender and fresh. A bit watered down on flavor but was decent. Food was good and felt like home. The ahjuma there didn't speak English with me so there could be a language barrier there for those who don't speak Korean. She is very sweet and felt like one of my aunties. I would definitely come back again and try other options on the menu. read more

Extremely good food! The service was very fast! We went there for lunch, and were the only people there who were not Korean. The lady who took our order didn't speak a word of English, so we had to point to the menu. Very casual environment. Small price to pay for authentic Korean food. I had the beef soup, and I tried someone else's bulgogi, and someone else's spicy grilled pork. It was all delicious! There were several bowls of sides provided, also all delicious. Cheap too! I'll be back. read more

Gomonae - Beef Soup - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Ordered dumpling and rice cake soup. Authentically delicious. Definitely a hole in the wall type place but very homey feel.

Decent Korean spot in old Korea Town. I finally stopped by one day when my mom visited, and everything we ordered was solid. Their menu wasn't expansive but it was unpretentious and everything came out quickly. read more

If you want the hole in the wall authentic Korean food experience, this is the spot! If you are feeling adventurous try their yumsotang. It hits the spot. read more

Thank you, Yelp, for bringing this spot to my attention! Stopped by for a late lunch on the drive back home from the office. Atmosphere is nothing to write home about, but at the same time perfectly comfortable. The highlight was the wonderful Dduk Manduguk and banchan. All looked and tasted deliciously authentic! Service was efficient and pleasant. I'll definitely be back to try other options. "Spicy cow head bone stew with meat" has me intrigued! read more

This is a very authentic, family owned Korean restaurant right off the highway! We truly enjoyed the family style items. I don't speak Korean (and neither did anyone else in my party) but we trusted the waitress and ended up with some delicious items. The menu is small but easy to choose because there are pictures. We ordered Somori guk bap, spicy beef soup, and jeyuk bokkeum. Each item came with purple rice. The waitress brought us a variety of "sides" -- kimchi, radish, potatoes, fish cakes, etc. I would definitely recommend trying this place if you're feeling like eating some good Korean dishes. read more

The cutest little ahjumma owned soup restaurant in old ktown!! Perfect for soup weather. The ladies who work here are the sweetest. Their banchan is amazing. We inhaled so many plates of fish cake. My friend and I shared the cow head bone soup with meat and soondubu. You need to add a lot of salt to the bone soup to bring out the flavor, which is how it's supposed to be. The meat is melt in your mouth good. The broth is light and clean tasting. The soondubu was also perfectly spicy and rich with silky tofu. Everything was delicious and I'm sure all the other dishes are great too. read more

A small little restaurant that I stopped by for lunch. I ordered the soon dubu soup and it was amazing. The flavor was great and was had a nice spice to it that was not too spicy. All the small dishes as well were great and tasty. It's definitely a good spot for lunch as when I went it was not too busy. read more

Gomonae - Soon Dubu - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Small restaurant, big flavor. The ladies who run the place are very nice and know how to make good food. I highly recommend this place

There is limited parking right by the restaurant. Only indoor seating and it is a fairly small restaurant. No social distancing and only some staff wore masks. The menu is small but everything we have tried tasted delicious! Side dishes are brought out first. We had kimchi, bean sprouts, pickled radish, cucumber, and a hot dog/onion side dish. Spicy tofu soup: not spicy but very well flavored. There is an egg in there and lots of shrimp. Comes with a bowl of purple rice. Bean paste soup: very standard taste, lots of shrimp but there wasn't any other seafood inside. Also came with a bowl of purple rice. Shrimp fried rice: well seasoned, lots of veggies diced up and they used the healthier purple rice Rice cake and dumpling soup: refreshing and a good amount of rice cake and dumplings. Not spicy at all. All the soups came out bubbling and hot. You can request refills for the side dishes. Definitely a small local restaurant, if you are in the Lake Carolyn area I do recommend it! read more

Seen a post in a facebook group where the grandson said that his grandma's restaurant has been struggling since the pandemic. I'm always for supporting local businesses and even more so since the pandemic. I've wanted to try this place for awhile, but I didn't put an effort into it until I seen his post. Very simple place. I don't think she even has soda here. She has some different options here like cow head soup. Interesting. I went with the jeyuk bokkeum (spicy pork), husband went with spicy beef soup. Both were amazing. The banchan was excellent. I'll definitely come back here. I'd like to try the cow head soup eventually. Grandma is the only one running the place and speaks limited english. Don't let that discourage you from coming. Point out a number or tell her a number on the menu to order. Be nice and respectful or I'll throw kimchi juice in your eyes. Will go back soon!! read more

Visiting a family-styled (and owned) Korean place and sitting down for spicy hot soon dubu on a rainy day is the best decision! I highly recommend this place. Though their menu is somewhat limited and only focuses on hot soup, their food tastes amazing. Great, cozy ambiance. Would love to stop by another time and try something different! read more

Gomonae - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

This place is definitely a hidden gem in old Korea town! The restaurant itself is located in a strip mall, where I never thought I would go in for a meal. Especially Korean food, since there are so many new fancy Korean places in Carrollton now. I was introduced to Gomonae by my husband, and thanks to him, we make to-go orders from there at least once a week! Gomonae's food reminds me of my mom's food. Great, authentic flavor, and I don't feel the need to drink water excessively (when there's lots of MSGs in the food, it makes you super thirsty). All the dishes we've tried, they were all awesome. Definitely an authentic, very homey Korean food. We will go back soon! read more

A good, busy breakfast and lunch spot. If you believe in the adage, eat where the Asians eat, this place's customer base is 99% Korean. That other 1% is me, the Viet dude that ruined it. (/)__(\) Around dinnertime there's less people and they close early using the stated hours more as a guideline; however, getting there by 6 pm should be a safe bet. (/)__(\) The menu is pictured on the top of the back wall with numbers to refer to making ordering easier. You also do get side dishes here. As for water, for me it's that meme moment where I'm too afraid to ask. I'm not sure if it's self serve or that have just been really nice to me. (/)__(\) So my favorite items to get here are the tofu soup & jeyuk bokkeum, which in my opinion is the best tofu soup & jeyuk bokkeum in DFW. Why though? I don't know, it's hard to articulate. I just really, really like it. (/)__(\) The rest of the menu I've been trying here and there and haven't had a miss yet. Offerings range from the familiar bulgogi to the unknown boogeo haejangkook, a bean sprout soup with fish. read more

Amazing Korean restaurant off of Royal and 35. Great food and service and some the best Korean food I've had in DFW compared to LA. During COVID, there is limited seating and there is carry out available. The grandma and doesn't speak English. She is super sweet so be sweet to her. She is the only person running the front of house so when you order please say the menu item # and maybe a phone number and then repeat your order when you arrive. Freshest and best ban chon I've had as well. read more

Gomonae - #2 - Spicy Beef Soup with the side dishes. All for $13. It was great to have for breakfast and I felt so much better afterwards. - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Literally on a mission to try every single Korean restaurant in Dallas, and there are so many. Even better is that they're all super authentic! And this has to be one of the most proper Korean restaurants, run by Grandmas, which maybe the reason this place closes at 7. Came here for an early dinner. It wasn't too busy so got a seat quickly. We ordered Soon Dobu - Spicy tofu soup and the Bulgogi. Soon Dubu ($10) - Very tasty, the right amount of spice and the broth was perfect!Bulgogi ($13) - Wouldn't really recommend this one, the beef was good but a bit tasteless and I had asked to make it more spicy. The banchan/sides were good, the kimchi was really tasty.Quantity - Good quantities and with the side refills was completely full by the end of it.Ambience - Very casual place and home style. Reminds me of the traditional Korean food places in the movies, but anyway it's the food you're after here not the ambience.Service - Out server was so friendly and sweet. Everyone here is smiley and nice!Spice - 3/5, Talkin about the tofu soup. Taste - Very tasty! Tofu soup was delicious I think this place is good for the soups and definitely want to try the Goat next time but they didn't have it. Also, this place is super busy at lunch time. Really good service and a very traditional Korean place, will definitely be back to try the rest of the dishes. read more

This is one of the most famous place in the area. I never been seat there for eat, I always ordered for Togo. Food was just ok but they're very kind when I picked my food up. This place popular menu is goat jeongol but I never try eat that, my friend liked eat that for healthy. I used ordered bean sprouts rice porridge when I got my stomach pain. Honestly I didn't try anything else, only tried bean sprouts rice porridge but it was good. Very small restaurant, easy for parking. I would like to try another food and someday will try to seat there and eat. read more

I went to this restaurant the very first day in Texas. It's so inexpensive for the banchan (side dishes) and the main entree. It had that homey feel when you walk-in. I went with a lot of people, and we were all satisfied with our meal. No one had any complaints. We got the spicy meat dish, noodles with seafood, beanpaste soup, dumplings soup, and tons of purple rice. Each dish costed around $10 - $12. No one left a single dish unfinished. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants a quick Korean place to eat at. read more

An elderly lady was very pleasant and sat me down right away and made me feel at ease by greeting me formally in Korean. I said that I do not understand Korean so she immediately spoke her fluent English to me. I have ordered the bullhead soup which was awesome and it came with delicious Ban Chans (side dishes) and asked me how was my meal. It was a great way to start my day with such of delicious offerings. Highly recommended for people who love high quality Korean soup. read more

Gomonae - Korean Near Me - Dallas, Texas

They keep a cozy environment and is well maintained. The 2 guys who work there are very friendly and helpful. We got the somori guk bap ($10), yook gae jang ($10), and seafood kong na mul jook ($8). Everything was good and well portioned. The sides were good as well. Most of their food was around $8-$10. They have a pretty small menu and it doesn't have the usual stuff people might wants like bibimbap or bulgogi. They have more unconventional items but they also have familiar choices as well. Twice we went and they didn't have the supplies to make multiple menu items. I would recommend this place but for a wider menu there are other choices. read more

We are obsessed with this place. Authentic Korean food. Simple menu but everything we tried is a hit. My husband likes the cow bone soup and I always get the soondubu.
