This place slaps so hard. I got chicken teriyaki bibipop, egg rolls, cucumber kimchi and the mango shaved ice dessert. Everything was a 10/10.
Nice staff, but everything on the menu is overpriced. Additionally, it did not sit well with my stomach...
While the banchan portions are on the smaller side and don't have much variety, they did taste good. I think they updated the menu since the last reviewer about the kimchi jjigae because it was on the menu. I ordered it and it tasted quite good. Server was polite and prompt. Restaurant was clean, plenty of room.
I have to say I was not a fan of this place at all. The banchan was so small and the flavors were off. Wasn't a huge menu it was very limited. The service was good and the staff were polite and the restaurant was modern but the food didn't do it for me.
We walked over to Hoya from our hotel and was so glad we did. Unfortunately during our visit, they were out of Kimchi and Galbi. The main staples of a Korean BB1 joint. * sad face. We decided on getting the combo Bento box for my kids. We got the teriyaki chicken and teriyaki salmon. The combo was definitely plentiful with rice, salad, 3 dumplings, and noodle banchan. The dressing on the salad was delicious! Kids enjoyed their dishes. My husband and I split the Soontofu J Jigae (hot stew pot) and Bulgulgi Dolsot Bibimbop. The servings were huge! Perfect for sharing between 2 people. I highly recommend splitting the soup and bibimbop as eating the soup together with your selected protein really compliment each other and IMO, best way to eat Koren BBQ. The Bulgulgi was really good and not too sweet. I prefer savory side of my meats. I really wanted galbi but as mentioned before, they were out of it. Im not sure of their banchan was unlimited like im used too, bc i didn't ask. The banchan were just a a few slices. The protein servings were ample. Our server was kind but not much to elaborate on. The place is small and quaint. Great location in downtown and walking distance to the Sundance square. If we come back to the area, we would definitely try again and hopefully have their kim chi and glabi available. Overall, we'd recommend the place. Good food, service, and large swerving for the value.
Hoya is a cute spot with friendly servers, but their food is quite average and the service was pretty slow. I hate to give it two stars because our server was super sweet, but I can't say I'd come back. Korean fried chicken - this appetizer was the best thing in the meal. Happy to say it was crispy and hot! (We were scared due to some other reviews) The sauce was sweet and sour, it was ok but not the most memorable. Beef bulgogi - unfortunately, I'd have to rank this pretty low among all the beef bulgogis I've had. Not very aromatic, no strong bulgogi flavor, and the meat looked a bit underwhelming visually. Spicy pork bibimbap - this was alright, but the bowl had less topping variety than most bibimbap bowls I've had. The pork itself was ok, but not memorable either. The gochujang sauce was good though! Mango colada iced tea (signature drink) - I hate to say that this was one of the worst drinks I've had. Certainly no colada flavor, barely any flavor really. And for some reason the drink was stinky. The service was pretty subpar. We weren't greeted by our waiter once we sat at our table for quite some time, so much that the neighboring table even commented on it! And trying to pay was chaotic because there were 3 or 4 tables who'd all been waiting a while, and everyone crowded the front desk once someone finally came. I think Hoya could really benefit from a couple more servers!
On our way to lunch, we happened by Hoya and my boss said it was really good so we decided to stop in. They staff was very nice and though we were a large group they found a great spot for us. The place looks small but it was a nice elegant feel associated with it. The downtown atmosphere evaporates and you're left just focusing on chatting with friends and colleagues. Now, the food was amazing. I had the chicken katzu bento box and it was so good. The katzu sauce was a little on the sweet side, but otherwise delicious. The japchea was refreshing on a hot summer day. The dressing on the salad was like a ginger dressing, it was pretty tasty. We also split some kimchi fries which were good and some pieces had a spicy kick but nothing too much. I can't wait to come back!
This was our first visit. We are visiting from Kentucky. The food was phenomenal, hot, fresh and flavorful! The serving staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant was warm and inviting. We will definitely revisit when in the area.
Loved the place food was really good and nicely portioned, even went for a light dessert and didn't feel like a balloon! Server was great and attentive and the place is so cute. The music reminds me of being in a kdrama with how romantic the songs are. I loved it lol
I've never had Korean bbq. This was a first and we came here on a recommendation from my son and his wife. What's a quaint little place downtown. Here for a show at Bass Hall and we loved it. There was a little wait because it was a Saturday night but well worth it. The ramen bowls were phenomenal. They were more filling than I thought it would be for a soup bowl. Such a neat place and I want to try it again.
Coming from Los Angeles which contains the largest population of Koreans outside of Korea, I'm aware that I've been spoiled in having the opportunity to have authentic Korean food. So I was pleasantly surprised to find this spot in Fort Worth. It's a cute clean family owned spot. The Korean owner/cook lady came out to check on the customers which was nice. The server was friendly and the food came out fast. This hit my hankering for Asian food while on a work trip. Yet being from LA where there's Koreatown chock full of Korean restaurants, I wish there was banchan and spicier flavors in the soon tofu. It was still good, yet not as authentic and flavorful as Korean restaurants frequented by Koreans. The Kimchee fries were interesting, and could have used more kimchi. The seafood tofu was good, but could have more flavorful. A small ramekin of kimchi is available upon request. I assume the lack of banchan and spiciness in the food is that not many Fort Worth residents are familiar with that. I enjoyed my experience and was happy to find this place, yet if you're a Korean food foodie, be aware that while the food is good, it's more catered toward a non-Asian palate.
Right across from the hotel and a PERFECT place to pick up lunch or dinner. The egg rolls are fantastic. Just crispy at the first bite. The Tonkotsu Ramen was enough for two meals. Yes, we will return!
Stopped by Hoya on the way back home and the food looked delicious. We got edemame, the combo box, and GUI. Food was great and I wished they added more banchan on the side but nonetheless service was great and the place was neat and welcoming.
Food: very good, and flavorful. Everything cooked fresh. Service: great staff and service. They were friendly Ambiance: the place is very beautiful and spacious they have a bar inside too. I will definitely be back to try their other food items for sure! read more

Came in for lunch with some family and got seated fairly quickly. They told us they were out of kimchi so we couldnt get anything with kimchi in the menu. So we decided to get some lunch bentos and the hot stone bibimbap and a seafood korean pancake. The pancake was good a little salty but overall good for sharing. I liked my marinated spicy chicken bento and felt that it was quite filling. The hot stone bibimbap was just okay but probably because we got it with tofu and not with any other meats. There's plenty of seating inside and bar seating too. Seems like a spot where people come for lunch during work. Its not the best korean food I've had but would recommend for a lunch spot if I was near by and wanted something different than what's near by. Service was good and the host and waitress was helpful. read more

A modern take on Korean food and definitely not fully authentic. It's right in the middle of downtown Fort Worth. My (Korean) mother in law was not impressed and she wasn't very happy that they did not have kimchi jjigae. I was kind of bummed about that too, since I wanted to order that as well :( they don't serve banchan for the table like most Korean restaurants, it's only served individually with certain meals and it's a tiny portion btw... I opted for the fried chicken as my meal even though it's a "starter" on the menu. My husband ordered the chicken katsu and my in-laws both ordered the bibimbap. Food came out at a reasonable time and pricing was reasonable as well. Aesthetic was the best part for me. The only thing that felt "Korean", minimalistic decor and aesthetic. Overall, ok experience. read more

Friendly service. Cute small casual dining establishment. Only a few tables. Street parking and parking garage nearby. The Shrimp "fries" were actually fried shrimp (panko-like coating)...really good. Miso soup was ok. The Seafood SoonTofu soup was packed with seafood (mussels and shrimp) which was great BUT the broth was a bit salty. Not unbearable but definitely saltier than I'm used to traditional SoonTofu. read more
I believe Hoya's starters are more worth your tastebuds as opposed to their main dishes. I got the Mild Jin Ramen and the noodles were quite soggy and the broth was not as rich in flavor as I'd liked. The kimchi fries were really good, although there was barely any kimchi in it. The mando was by far my favorite thing we got and I would get it again. The place is rather small, but you can park in the garage next door and get 2 hours worth of free parking. And the servers were nice to a larger group (6) like ours! read more

This restaurant is a nice option for a quick meal. The food: came out fast and was tasty. Many of the menu options seem like they're pre-made or are warmed up. I was caught off guard to see that on the menu the Ramen stated that it is a packaged Ramen and prepared at the restaurant. The chicken was good. It didn't taste like chicken, but it was still good with a slightly spicy seasoning. The egg rolls were yummy. I'm not sure if they were pre-made and fried when ordered but they definitely did the job for me. The Ambiance: the ambiance is nice. It's dimly lit, bare tables, with some pop music playing in the background. The service: the service was good. Our waitress attended to our needs. They were accommodating for sure. Now, this restaurant get 3 stars simply becuase it was a nice place to eat, and I'll DEFINITELY be back, especially if I want some egg rolls. However, there was nothing too special about Hoya. The food was good, the service was good, the ambiance was good. It's okay and decently priced. Like I said, I'll be back. Hoya is one of those restaurants that'll always be around because of its convience and nice service. read more

I come here anytime I'm in town for work or vacation. I always bring my friends and family and it's always a hit. The shop is cute, the service is great and the food is even better. If you're in the area and undecided I would stop by and give it a try, it'll probably become a favorite spot for you like it has for me. Never have had a bad meal or experience here. I've ate in and got take out and both are always consistent. read more

Stopped in here during lunch. Thankfully we came on the earlier side of lunch so it wasn't too busy. It got busy as ate. Our server was attentive if not a little too attentive. She came over quickly multiple times when we needed some more time. The food was yummy and came quickly. A cute stop in downtown Fort Worth read more
