Ilinja Gamjatng is a family run business serving delicious soup. On a cold rainy day, nothing beats this flavorful broth with tender meat falling from the bone. The service is attentive and friendly. Our food came out quickly and only took a few minutes to heat up on the table stove.

If you like gamjatang, this is the place. The broth was so flavorful and rich. And save room for the fried rice at the end

My favorite gamjatang in Dallas! The staff is so friendly and helpful and the food is always consistent.

If you're looking for a cozy dinner spot, definitely check out this place. It's a mom and pop shop that specializes in pork bone soup and it really feels like it. The menu is very simple, with four standard soup/stew/contents options and size/ add on options. I also like that there are tongs and a soup spoon included so people wont need to reach into the pot with their personal chopsticks/spoon. This makes the meal reasonable for sharing with friends and colleagues. We got size medium and it came with 3 rice but fed four people, so depending on your party's hunger level you may choose to judge the size, start smaller and include add ons for rice / ingredients as desired. We got the GamJa Tang (pictured) and it was very tasty. As pictured, our pot was piled high with several vegetables and lots of meat. Some bones had a lot of meat and some had just a little but the average amount was reasonable for the price. There was also a healthy portion of each vegetable. Lots of potatoes, bean sprouts, cabbage and rice cakes. The broth was rich and cozy and made all the ingredients that much more delicious as it was absorbed. There is a healthy heap of gochujang but I didn't really find it to be a lot of heat, even though the menu said "spicy". It might make some people sad but I found it to be very accommodating for sharing with a group with different spice tolerances. The banchan included are daikon kimchi, cabbage kimchi and a zucchini/carrot side dish. They are all very tasty and mild for those who don't tolerate spicy. There is also a horseradish sauce that is available for dipping, although if I had enough I'd probably try to swim in it. It's very delicious! Overall, I'm really happy with my experience here and I highly recommend others to enjoy it as well. Hope you give it a try soon!

It can definitely get a little messy to eat the gamjatang. Definitely need to come here only with family or people you are super comfortable with. The food was good and exceeded my expectations!

This is a new gamjatang place that opened up recently. The inside is pretty spacious with lots of tables that seat 4 each. The atmosphere is pleasant and clean with trendy upbeat music playing overhead. This restaurant only serves pork bone stew. The menu consists of 3 versions of it: spicy, non-spicy, and non-spicy with seafood. You can order extra toppings as well. Each stew comes in 3 sizes - small, medium, and large. The difference is - small comes with 2 bowls of rice and has enough food for two people, medium has 3 bowls of rice, large has (I assume) more. Complimentary small dishes include kimchi cabbage, kimchi radish, and squash. And, boy, were they delicious! We ordered a small spicy stew to split between 3 people. The stew came out fast. There's a hotplate thing at each table. The meat is pre-cooked, but the veggies are uncooked, so you have to wait for the stew to boil and cook the veggies before eating (took maybe 5 mins). The stew tasted amazing - meat was super tender and flavorful, veggies were refreshing, and broth was good and just a little spicy. Pro Tip for leftovers: Save your rice til the end. Let the broth simmer until there's only 1/4 left, then dump your rice and any leftover veggies and small dishes in, turn up the heat, and make your own gamjatang fried rice. Tastes great!

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a smile. We ordered the gam ja tang, and it was delicious. The dishes were brought out very fast, and we had to wait for the soup to boil at the table, and we get to control the intensity of the heat at the table. It is very convenient. The soup is a flavorful pork based broth. It came with pork bone, potatoes, bean sprouts, and cabbage. It is medium spicy. We came right before dinner on a weekend, and there were plenty of seats. No music playing, but great quiet ambience.

This was so legit!! Their gamjatang was so delicious and perfectly spicy, the meat nice and tender. We opted to add glass noodles, which I really think is the move. They make an, in my opinion, even more delicious fried rice in the end with your leftovers, which made a great lunch the next day!

Amazing addition to K town Carrollton that represents real authentic Korean food. This is the first gamjatang specialized restaurant in DFW. Gamjatang translates to potato (gamja) tang (soup). It is made with pork bone broth, perilla seeds, flavorful seasoning paste with soybean base, pork neck bone, potato, leafy greens, soybean sprouts. It is meant to be shared so bring at least one other person with you! Between three people we shared medium and it was plenty. Gamjatang is boiled right at the table using induction and it has so much flavor and depth. You can choose to accompany it with bowl of white rice and/or choose to add extra starch such as udon, knife cut noodles, dough, glass noodle, or ramen noodles in the soup as well. The soup itself is very rich, porky, a little nutty from the perilla seed powder, with a bit of kick. It's considered a Korean comfort food and will make you sweat. The meat falls off the bone so easily and is tender. It can be hard to pick the meat off the bone if you're not an avid chopstick user but you can always use the plastic glove they give you to hold on to the bone to tear the meat off. When you're comfortably full with a bit of broth left, you can ask them for fried rice which is made at the table using your leftover broth. This is a very authentic way of finishing off Korean foods! If you're wanting an authentic Korean comfort food experience, this is the place to go. As other reviews said, it tastes just as good as gamjatang you would get in Korea. The service is also excellent and it's a family run business. I'm happy more traditional style Korean restaurants are popping up in this area.

This was my first time trying gamjatang, and it was absolutely delicious! The portions were huge, and the staff checked in often to make sure we had everything we needed. They were super friendly and welcoming. We sat by the door, but the whole place felt very clean and well-kept. I would definitely come back again. Highly recommend if you're a fan of gamjatang!

Good was fantastic all of the different layers of flavors it was great. I even liked the Japanese mayo interesting flavor. Great different lunch today. I'll be bringing my dates her .

Gam Ja Tang

Delicious pork soup. To get all the meat from the bones you'll need to use your hands. The potato pasta and udon are a great addition to the flavorful broth. Friendly service every time.

I went to Ilinja Gamjatang with a couple of friends and we ordered a large gamjatang. Firstly the side dishes were absolutely spot on and delicious. The main dish was amazing to taste. I have eaten gamjatang in Korea and elsewhere but this place is right up there among the top in my view. Authentic and made to perfection. Highly recommended.

Up here in Dallas for our son's "white coat ceremony" at UTSW Medical School, we decided to visit…read morethis place on the recommendation of our son and was impressed with the food, service and hospitality. This place was pretty busy on a Friday night and even with that the servers who waited us were very courteous, attentive and quick to bring us our food. Piping hot and soooo good! If you are looking for an authentic Korean food experience I don't think you can beat this place. John, the owner came and visted us for a bit and said this particular location has been here for at least 9 years. I can tell with all the regulars that seemed to be trickling in while we there. My kid has a yen for Korean food and I can tell why. The Bulgogi was excellent along with the SunDuBu and Tofu soups. The menu seemed very loaded with all kinds of delicacies but I let the kids handle the ordering. I left feeling satisfied and happy! Plus meeting John and talking him a bit left me feeling that he really valued the experience of his customers. Very rare to see sometimes. Kudos to him! So if you're ever in Dallas and are looking for good Korean food give this place a try. You won't be disappointed...

The noodles had great texture, the broth was rich without being overly salty, and the side dishes were fresh and plentiful. Service was straightforward and efficient--not overly chatty, but they got the job done and kept things moving smoothly. You won't feel ignored, but you also won't be on a first-name basis with your server by the end of the night. Ambiance is simple and casual. It's not trying to be fancy--it's more of a laid-back, everyday kind of place where the focus is clearly on the food. If you're looking for a trendy vibe, this isn't it. But if you just want solid Korean comfort food, it delivers. Overall: great for when you're craving noodles and want an honest, satisfying meal without the frills.

The owner was there and while initially I thought the service was a bit slow, the owner was the one that really turned our experience around. The food definitely was already giving five star vibes! Located about ten minutes north of Carrollton Korea town, nestled in a smaller plaza, is this amazing Korean fried chicken! Normally, I am not the biggest fan of the saucy marinated chicken but I tried the sweet Korean and the honey garlic and both were amazing! Crispy and crunchy on the outside, moist chicken on the inside and came out piping fresh! We also ordered their original boneless with a refreshing green onion salad that compliments the boneless chicken so well!!! All washed down with an ice cold TERRA! We also ordered Seoddok seoddok Which is a crispy chewy rice cake and Korean sausage on a stick drizzled with a sweet and spicy sticky sauce! 10/10 as well. Whether you're visiting or a local, this place is a MUST TRY! There is a common practice in Korean culture in their restaurants and retail Shops that's called "service," which basically equates to "on the house" in American culture. The owner gave us two types of shaved ice on the house and it was the perfect and refreshing dessert to end and round our whole experience!!! PSA: first you pick the type chicken - boneless, wings, or the whole chicken cut into pieces. Then, you pick your batter: golden crispy batter, fried batter, or yorienn batter. I recommend the classic KFC style FRIED BATTER! Lastly, pick your sauce! I still dream of this chicken place and it's only been a week since we tried it. I already want to go back and my mouth literally drools thinking about it!
