    Lunch menu

    Nice family run, not fancy, but real good Korean food. Just down street from King Spa and KoMart.

    Spicy cow head soup
    Abbie C.

    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.

    Tofu soup and side dishes
    Destiny P.

    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!

    Bulgogi
    Meree C.

    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.

    Beef Soup
    Dustin U.

    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.

    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!

    Rice

    Wow~ what a wonderful mom's food there!! Someone introduced me and finally went to there today. Was amazing food. I am parents less now always missed my mom's food. I ordered fish grill and chunggukjang soup was amazing and i forgot to take the picture.. but i ordered food for my containers its little messy but can't wait for tonight!!! Thank you gomo( it's mean of dad's sister)

    Soon Dubu
    Aron J.

    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.

    Inside
    Sue K.

    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!

I do think prices were slightly on the higher end and service was a little slow, but again, given the circumstances, I personally did not mind. There is an impressive selection of banchan that could almost be a full meal in itself. They were all very fresh and high quality. I ordered the galbi and spicy cold noodles. The galbi came on a sizzling plate. It was tender and flavorful. However, it was expensive, at almost the same price of dinner AYCE KBBQ. I personally wasn't the biggest fan of the spicy cold noodles, not because it was bad, but more so due to personal preference. The portion size was very generous though. My family ordered the shrimp fried rice and bulgogi quesadilla. The fried rice was very solid; it had good flavor, texture, and they nailed the portion of vegetables, protein, and rice. The bulgogi quesadilla was also delicious and I appreciate the creativity. The combination of bulgogi, japchae, and cheese might sound sacrilegious to some, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

When I walked in, the place was empty. I stood at the "Please wait to be seated" sign for way longer than necessary--especially since there were no other customers. I finally peeked in and saw two employees busy counting receipts and money at the register. (Bad Impression #1). After being seated, I was actually enjoying the music until I felt something sticky on my forearm. It was a stray bean sprout left on the table (Bad Impression #2). To make matters worse, the tables are incredibly low. Even at my height, I had to hunch over the entire time. I eventually gave up on table manners and just held the rice bowl up to my face to eat comfortably. Regarding the food: it was a bit salty. The kimchi fried rice was average, but the kimchi stew really missed the mark. That was the moment I realized this is a fusion spot, not authentic Korean. It wasn't horrible, but it's definitely different from the real thing. BUT, can we talk about the massive portions? (Good Impression #1). Everything is clearly meant to be shared. The service was actually good. They have a buzzer on the table for service, which I loved. It saves you from having to track down a waiter. (Good Impression #2). The ambiance is loud, poppy, and "hip." You better like K-pop if you're coming here. It's not a first-date spot because it's hard to hear each other, but it's a solid place to hang out with friends who like the genre. Will I come back? Not actively. But if someone else suggests it, I won't fight them on it.

    JOA Grill stands out as one of the top Korean BBQ experiences in Dallas, delivering a modern,…read moreupscale-yet-approachable take on classic table-side grilling in the heart of Koreatown. The restaurant shines with its premium, high-quality meats--sourced thoughtfully, including standout options from 44 Farms--carefully selected and prepared by Michelin-recognized chefs. Whether you go for the popular Taste of JOA (Signature or Premier boards) or individual cuts, the beef and pork options consistently impress with rich marination, perfect tenderness, and that satisfying sizzle on the grill. Popular favorites that reviewers rave about include the marinated bone-in short rib (galbi), prime short rib, ribeye, hanger steak, pork belly, and specialties like flash-fried short ribs or shrimp. The meats arrive beautifully presented, cook evenly at the table, and deliver deep, savory flavors--often described as juicy, flavorful, and reminiscent of authentic home-style Korean cooking elevated with premium technique. Sides (banchan) are a highlight: fresh, generous, and "unreal" according to many, with standouts like mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, steamed egg soufflé, corn cheese, kimchi fried rice, and soybean paste stew (doenjang jjigae) that round out the meal perfectly. The experience wraps up sweetly with ice cream for a complete, shareable feast ideal for groups or celebrations. The atmosphere enhances everything: lively, stylish, and vibrant with a sleek, modern interior featuring neon accents that feels fun and energetic without being overwhelming--perfect for date nights, family gatherings, or special occasions. Service earns frequent praise for being attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, with staff guiding first-timers through the grilling process. Cocktails and drink towers add to the festive vibe, pairing beautifully with the smoky, savory food. Nuances and considerations: Pricing reflects the premium ingredients and experience (Taste of JOA runs around $42-$54+ per person, with upgrades for A5 Wagyu or larger parties), so value opinions vary--some see it as worth every penny for the quality and fun interactive element, while others note it can feel a bit higher-end for casual dining. A few reviews mention occasional inconsistencies in service pacing during busy times or subtle variations in ambiance depending on the crowd, but the majority describe it as consistently enjoyable and welcoming. Portions work best when shared, and the interactive grilling adds a social, hands-on layer that many love (bring a group to maximize the fun). Note that as of recent updates, the restaurant has been temporarily closed--check their website, social media, or call ahead for current status before planning your visit. Overall, JOA Grill excels at blending tradition with innovation: fire-kissed premium cuts, abundant flavorful sides, creative cocktails, and a lively yet comfortable setting make it a standout choice for anyone craving high-quality Korean BBQ in Dallas. It's frequently called one of the best in the city for good reason--great for meat lovers, groups, and those seeking an elevated yet fun dining adventure.

    Took me a while to write this, but I came back here because I had a good dinner here and decided to…read moredo a Korean bbq closer to my home. We were even greeted with a welcome back and given a welcome back coupon, which I loved, so the night started out well. Now for context to my frustration, last time we went here, our server cooked everything, so we only came back because we wanted to go to a Korean bbq specifically where they cooked the meat for you as well. Apparently, that isn't the norm. We ordered drinks and then waited a substantial amount of time before the servers came back to ask for our food order. Literally the table next to us ordered before us and we're basically near the end of their meal before we even ordered. Mind you, we were seated right in the thick of where the servers go in and out of the kitchen and you can see everything going on (or lack of anything). Drinks took forever to come and they started cooking one of the meats and then never came back. They kept walking past our table and not saying anything. We had to tell them that we needed help and asked if someone was going to cook for us. They apologized and would start cooking again only when we complained, but then would proceed to leave and not come back until we asked again. They kept giving us excuses that they were short staffed, which is understandable, but not when we can see them literally doing nothing about it. There was no sense of urgency or trying to work harder since they were understaffed. They would stand at the little computer at the door to the kitchen looking like they were doing something, while the rest of the restaurant was being ignored. We mentioned to them multiple times that we were being ignored and they offered to take care of us with dessert or maybe comp something at the end. At this point, I'm quiet because I'm visibly annoyed by the incompetence and got to the point where I didn't even want to talk to the staff anymore. I kinda have RBF, so I know they were feeling my frustration. We were almost done eating and were waiting for them to start cooking the shrimp, which was the last meat on our combo, and the server came by and asked if we wanted the check. I was like, "we aren't even done eating, we were waiting for someone to cook the shrimp." Now if they initially told us that we would be cooking, this all wouldn't be a problem, but we were under the impression that they would cook our food, which was the root of the entire service problem we were having. Finally, they came by with desserts that were on the house, even though I really wanted them to just comp something instead, but they didn't give us the option. We didn't even want dessert, but were forced to eat it because they felt it was a good solution to the problems with service. They even asked if we wanted a shot on the house, but I didn't want to drink alcohol that night, and when I refused, they teased me about it. It's my business if I want to drink or not, but don't assume everyone thinks alcohol solves everything. That left a sour note in my mind and sealed the deal that we won't come back. For how expensive this restaurant is, they need to have top tier service, and this was not it. I suggest you stay away!
