Got the combo to share between my partner and I. I was very pleased as the food was very good. Service was great, they kept rechecking on us and brought us more lettuce when we needed. My go to for bossam!
Beef Soup: clean, simple, and comforting soup. Decent amount of beef on the bones. Palate cleanser if you will. Gamjatang: Very visually appealing and flavorful broth. Tender pork. My favorite soup here to order. Bossam: I think this is their best item. The pork belly is sliced very clean and thin. It's boiled to perfection. Very addicting to eat as you continue to make more and more lettuce wraps. Galbi: pretty standard. Didn't blow me away but it's good enough to satisfy me. Better off going to a KBBQ restaurant for this. Jokbal: not pictured here but I would skip this dish. I got tired of it pretty quickly. The meat is a bit dry. Their side dishes are pretty solid as well! I like their kimchi. The call button on their tables is very useful. Decorated very nicely inside and the servers are friendly.
Soondae was great, everything else was too cold for my taste. We got the soondae combo, large jokbal, and pork rib soup. Soondae had a nice bounce, flavorful, and tasted amazing with the accompanying salt as well as side dishes. The rest, including the intestines that came with the soondae combo and the jokbal, was very room temperature. Almost cold. I did some research and apparently jokbal is served chilled, so I might be uncultured in my opinion. However, as someone new to the experience, the temperature made the meat stiff and bland - like you're eating meat straight from the fridge. That, along with the cold lettuce, garnishes, and side dishes, made for a rather confusing experience. The biggest pro for this place I feel is the portion to price ratio. The large jokbal was huge (pictured) and easily fed 4 people. The medium soondae was also a good size for sharing. We also got soup and a bottle of soju. The total came out to around $30/person, which I think is great value considering how much meat you get.
The food here is consistently delicious and feels like true homestyle Korean cooking. The portions are generous, everything comes out piping hot, and the flavors are bold without being overwhelming. Their bossam and soups are standouts for me since they're so comforting, and perfectly seasoned. The banchan is always fresh and plentiful, and you can tell the kitchen puts genuine care into every dish. One of my favorite Korean places in Houston for sure
A good korean place is hard to come by and so I'm extremely grateful that I found this place. First off, I absolutely love a pocha vibe. It really lets me wind down and I'm glad I can watch Kpop music videos like it's cocomelon to turn off my brain. As for the food, we got the bossam and the gamjatang which are probably the best things to get here. They gave so much bossam for how much it cost and the pork was so fresh and soft. It paired really nicely with the kimchi banchan. The gamjatang was my favorite. It came out boiling hot and you can tell that the meat was stewed in the broth for a long time. The meat just fell off the bone and the broth itself was so flavorful and had that extra spicy kick that makes your nose runny, which is how I like it.
This place is SO good! I was blown away by the quality of the food, generous portions, and how affordable everything was. The bossam was ok, but the real stars were the galbi and jokbal. The galbi was tender and packed with flavor from their soy garlic marinade. The jokbal was rich and I enjoyed its gelatinous skin juicy meat, highly recommend. The complimentary pickled onions, banchan, garlic, ssam, and lettuce wraps rounded everything out beautifully. Even though I usually prefer more fermented kimchi, their fresh version was still delicious. The space is clean and spacious, with fast, attentive service. I loved the table call button. No need to flag down servers, just press and they're right there. Everything came out quickly, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. As a bonus, they even offer a discount for paying in cash. Will definitely be back the next time I am in the area!
Came here with my Korean mom, and we were both blown away by how good the gamjatang was. Rich, spicy broth, tender pork neck bones, perfectly cooked potatoes, and a generous sprinkle of perilla seeds--it was comforting, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. My mom kept nodding and saying, "I like!" and you know it's the real deal when even a 70 year old Korean mom gives it her stamp of approval. The portion was almost enough for two, and it came bubbling hot in a stone pot with plenty of banchan like cabbage kimchi, radish kimchi, and onions with jalepeno (all fresh and very tasty). This spot is tucked inside the Welcome Center, in the same parking lot as Paris Baguette and Shabu En, so it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it--but totally worth finding. The space is clean and spacious. Service was also top notch, and they have a button at each table that you can press to get staff's attention instead of having to wave someone down. We'll absolutely be coming back. If you're craving gamjatang that tastes like something you'd get in Korea, this place is a pleasant surprise!
Their bone neck soup is my favorite. Perfect for a cold day or when you're feeling under the weather. It's incredibly comforting. The flavor can be a little mild, but I actually like it that way. I usually just add a bit of soy sauce or salt, the way I grew up eating it. The staff are friendly, and the environment is nice and welcoming.
It's been a while since I first tried this restaurant when they opened. I read some good reviews and decided to give them another try. MISTAKE. It's worst than I remembered. Food was not good. It was warm and not hot. The Kalbe was horrible and near expired meat with tons of black pepper. Lots of MSG salt. I drank lots of water. It was not that busy and they didn't refill my water till I finally stopped them to refill. I completely understand when it's busy but when it's not busy, they need to be check in on customers and offer refills. Service was horrible. The waitress looks like she doesn't want to be here. She never smiled. The customers here needed help and she took her time cleaning tables when they had plenty of clean tables available but several group of customers waiting for checks and water/drink refills.
I've been coming here for a while because I love their jok bal and guk baps so much! Their jok bal portions are pretty generous and everything I ate there is pretty solid. This is one of my go-to Korean restaurants in the Houston area. The owner is super sweet, and the place is usually not too packed. Bonus: I also like how they have kpop music videos on!
Service was quick and the restaurant was very nice. We got their specialty jokbal combo soup. It came with ban chan and water on the side. The ban chan was very good but they forgot our order and almost gave us someone else's Soup was bland Jokbal was okay
This is honestly more of a 4.5 but I rounded down just because it didn't "wow" me and the menu is small compared to other Korean places. I have tried the bossam, jakbal, galbi, soups, etc. and overall all of the foods are fresh, REALLY good, with big portions. The galbi and soups are flavored very well (and hot). My favorite is the Gamja Tang - meat is also very tender. They are also very generous with their side dishes. Restaurant is on the smaller end so you may have to wait on peak hours/weekends but I never had to wait an extremely long time. Service is variable but overall good (and they are at least attentive). They have a button on the table whenever you need to call someone. And the food does come out quickly! Probably why the food is so hot. A great place for people that want to try Korean soups and Jokbal/Bossam.
I ordered the JOKBAL JUNSIK to-go and it was better than I could've expected! I was thoroughly impressed! This is the small, single-person serving, but it took me 2 sittings to finish with all of the sides included. Everything was packed and separated very nicely. One box came with fresh lettuce, jalapeño slices, garlic slices, and dipping sauces. Another box had kimchi and pickled veggies, which were really good and tasted very fresh! There was a small container of soybean paste soup, which was good and had a little kick from the jalapeños. And, finally, a small box of white rice and a medium box of jokbal. The JOKBAL reminded me of a Vietnamese dish called thit kho, because they have a pretty similar flavor. It was very savory, rich, and delicious. There were a lot of fatty bits, but also more lean bits hidden under the pretty slices placed on top, so it's more than it looks. I highly recommend it!
Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the authentic Korean flavors, generous portions, and welcoming atmosphere. Service is often friendly and attentive, and many find pricing fair.

I loooove Bossam. Like it's a straight up infatuation to the point I try it in every city I visit. This place here does it so well. Even my picky nieces (both under age 13) devoured it with all the side dishes. And asked for more. The meat is tender, the sides are spicy and everything pairs so well together. Yum yum read more
Golbi jung...yum. I love love a good golbi and this place serves super super tasty protein. I ordered it via doordash but their packaging was perfection. They package it in a way that it doesn't get messed up during travel. I really really appreciate that. I was able to safely indulge in my home without worrying if it was tampered with during the ride. I do want to come there in person so that I can see how the ambiance is and how the service is but if the packaging is any indication of their customer experience.. I am about to be so happy. read more
Menu was pricey. Nothing my 10 yo daughter can eat. Service was good except they forgot my sister's soup. Food-- it needed more flavor. Maybe I'm not use to Korean soups but they're so bland. Even with the banchan. I had the spicy pork belly plate and the beef or pork cabbage soup. I'm also not big on meat and it had a lot of meat no noodles in the soup. Broth was slightly bland. My sister's soup was like sippin on water--light broth with noodles. Overall not too impressed but happy I tried it! read more

This place is all stews and some meat so if you want traditional, this is the place to go. My family got mostly everything from M1 to M5 and then a galbi dish. Not a ton of banchan and the kimchee was meh but the radish and the marinate onions/jalapenos were really tasty. Our soups all had wonderful flavorful broths and huge chunks of meat that were stewed. They give you a bucket for your bones and there were a lot! The kalbi came out sizzling and with a soup and was delicious. Parking was nice and easy and there are a lot of retailers in the area if you wanted to jump around. Service was fast. read more

This place is so good for traditional korean soups that you can't really find elsewhere in Houston. We literally stumbled upon this establishment because we wanted to try a new Korean restaurant. I have been here twice now and have tried the galbi, bossam, and the gamja tang. - The gamja tang is so big with lots of pork, potatoes and overflowing amounts of perilla. The soup was so rich and hearty and the meat was cooked to perfection. - The galbi and bossam portions are huge and really tasty as well. I especially loved how well seasoned and cooked the galbi was. Each month, there is a special deal- so make sure you ask for that! This past month, the galbi was only $19.99!! and it came with soybean paste soup as well. Overall, 10/10 will be back. read more

I enjoyed their simple menu; everything felt fairly authentic. We shared three main entrees among friends: the Galbi, Soondae (blood sausage), and Boosam (pork belly). The meats were savory and of good quality. It was my first time trying blood sausage, and while I wasn't a fan, my friends commented that it was very well made. The Galbi was well-marinated, though I felt the ratio of onions to meat was a bit high but understandable. We received three different banchans with each of our entrees: Kimchi, a salty-sweet pickled radish, and some pickled cabbages. All were pretty good, especially when combined with the meat in a lettuce wrap with a soybean sauce. The interior is nice and clean, and the service is fast, with the typical call button seen at most Korean establishments. I'm looking forward to trying more dishes, like the Gamjatang next time! read more

William, Thank you for sharing your detailed review! We're pleased to…
We stumbled upon this specialty restaurant on a Friday evening and were extremely satisfied with what we got! Wanting to try something new, this was definitely a first check mark on our long list of things to try. The interior is nice and clean and the waitstaff is extremely patient and knowledgeable. The menu isn't very expansive, it is definitely a speciality restaurant with mostly jokbal (pig feet), bossom (pork belly) and blood sausage. We went 04/2024 and they had a promotion for $20 off $50 if you download their app and sign up for their rewards program. For two adults and one kid, we ended up ordering M5, M6 and M9. First comes first, the banchan! You get 3 different dishes, Kim chi, a salty/sweet pickled radish and pickled cabbage with jalepenos. All were good. The M5, beef neck bone soup with cabbage and bean sprouts had a subtle and delicious flavor. It wasn't too heavy and was a nice additional to our meat heavy dishes. M6 is the jokbal. In lieu of order a giant portion for the two of us, we shared the individual order and it was more than enough (along with our other dishes). It came with lettuce, slices of raw garlic and Jalepeno and a soybean dipping sauce. Wrapping up a little bit of everything is the way to go. Delicious, fatty pork combined with the saltiness and spiciness of the banchan made for a great first experience. M9 is the Galbi. Tender, super flavorful and served on a huge bed of sliced cooked-ish onions, this was a hit for us. All our dishes came with rice, which complimented the Galbi perfectly. The meat wasn't chewy, it was tender and cooked well. After taxes, our bill came out to $65 but we were able to apply the $20 coupon, make this meal (which served as two more meals for us afterwards!) was definitely worth it. read more

Hi Diana, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your…
I love the Jang Choong Dong in Carrollton so when I passed by the one in Houston, I knew I had to go in a eat there. This restaurant serves delicious Korean soup that covers a wide range of flavors to satisfy your cravings. The Gamja Tang is a hearty soup with yummy pork bones and a spicy broth. The is definitely one of their more savory dishes and enjoyable when you want a strong Korean taste. My personal favorite soup is the Soondae Kuk, served with Korean blood sausage. The blood sausage is really tasty and goes well with a cleaner and more refreshing broth, when compared to the Gamja Tang. You can also order large amounts of meat here. Their Bossam is absolutely juicy and tender and goes great with the kimchi and napa cabbage it is served with. While I don't enjoy the Jokbal as much as the Bossam, it is still a solid choice if you want a meat with a little bit more of a savory taste. 9/10! read more

My friends and I stopped in for lunch one day and we all got the gamjatang. It was super filling and the bowl was overflowing. The soup comes with rice on the side and some banchan including picked onions, kimchi, and radish kimchi. The banchan paired well with the savory, meaty flavor of the meat and cut the fatty taste of the meat. My favorite part of the soup was the potato, although there was only one large chunk, I wish there was more. As for the interior it's pretty spacious and there are plenty of tables. The servers are attentive and the food comes out quickly (and HOT). I enjoyed the soup, however because it's so heavy/rich I'm not sure if I would crave this anytime soon. I do want to return to try the other menu items. read more

Jacquelyn, Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We're glad…
Offering something more than your usual bibimbap and bulgogi (which they also have), this restaurant also serves up two less mainstreamed but yummy Korean dishes! Jokbal: pork trotters, sliced thinly and served with lettuce and sauces for a wrap. I liked these reheated and steamed at home, since they get much softer when warm! Soondae / sundae: blood sausage, made with vermicelli in the middle. It doesn't have that iron-y taste! I usually dab the pieces into the seasoned salt, but these were soft (some may say mushy) and tasty bites on their own. Super tasty! The soup that came with it was a mild bone broth soup with lots of organ meats (intestines, tongue), chives, and vermicelli. Not much kick or flavor but warms up the soul, and I suppose that's what all the sauces were for as well! Prices are a little steep for the main meat entrees but the serving size definitely offsets it! We had tons of leftovers. The medium jokbal was gigantic, probably enough for 4+ meals! Instead of attempting to flag the staff down, the service button was convenient to use :) Our waitress and waiters were friendly and to the point. Overall, would come back if I'm especially craving that Soondae! But also to try the other soups :D read more

The food was delicious. I like how the Galbi was marinated just right and that the bed of onions was cooked just right so you avoid that raw onion taste. The Bossam was cooked as expected like every Korean Restaurant place I've been to. The Soondae was really soft and nicely presented. The soup that came with the meat dishes was kind of meh. The BonChan that came with was okay, nothing special. The kimchi was a little sweeter than what I like. The customer service was great. Our waiter arrived as soon as the table bell was rang and he even took time check on us when we didn't summon him. The ambiance was wonderful for my family to seat, talk and eat. The music was at a nice volume where we could talk without raising our voice. They also gave us a tumbler as their anniversary gift. Highly recommend this place for something comforting during this cold weather. read more

First time at this restaurant, they were having 50% off entire menu special today thru Tuesday. Great promotion but they are busy, and the service does not exist. Upon walk in, talked to 2 servers to be seated. Waited over 10min to find someone to order our food, water was not served until we asked, order was incorrectly entered. Our order of M6 never came out, I finally checked with a different server Huy, without checking, he straight up telling me (lies) because there were 5-6 other orders ahead, so the food isn't out yet. I told him that's not true, previous server didn't place the right order so we had to wait. He then told us to wait and he will check, he came back and told us that the order still needs another 20-25min. I ended up canceling this item because we are done with eating, and not willing to wait for to go. I picked this place because of their jokbal but didn't get to try it, what a disappointing experience. This place is lack of service, not so great food(galbi was too sweet), we will not be back. Save your time and money go elsewhere. read more

Read the amazing reviews and thought I'd give the place a try. Food is different from other Korean places. Their specialty is the Jukbal, Bossam & Soondae. Upon entering, had a choice of tables as we was not too busy. Jokbal (pork trotters) look appetizing and went ahead and ordered Jokbal Jungsik which includes the small soybean paste soup. First, they brought 3 banchan dishes... radish kimchi, sweet onion and kimchi. The banchan was ok. Tasty and a little spicy. Afterwards, they brought out the Jokbal and soup. Jokbal was yummy. If you like tendons, you will like the dish. It does get messy eating it when you try to wrap them. It may just be me not familiar on how to do it. It comes with a fish sauce where the Jokbal is dipped and put on the lettuce leaf and add garlic & jalapeño plus somjang. Pretty good! Soybean paste soup has tofu and zucchini. It was hot and perfect combination with the Jokbal. Servers were nice. No complaints. Had ask for additional sauces and water and they were quick to oblige. Place is casual. Lot of wood decor. There are multiple TVs in the wall showing US news and K-Pop. read more

Hi Patrick, I'm glad you decided to try out the place based on the…
Have only been here once so far, but plan on many return trips. We ordered the sundae combo, the neck bone jjigea, and the intestine jjigea. All were outstanding. The sundae was some of the best I've had in Houston, tender, flavorful, sooooo much better than the ones you get at H-Mart (go figure? ). The intestine and organ meats thst came with it as a combo were clean and tasty. The neck bone jjigea was overflowing and packed with meat bones for your gnawing pleasure. Soup had depth and left that wonderful stickiness on your lips. The intestine jjigea was equally good and a great hangover meal as it's traditionally meant to be. So many other menu choices, so will have to have a few more visits to make our way around. Definitely worth a visit! read more

Hi J M, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at…
Limited menu. They focus on soup, and galbi dishes. Really enjoyed their banchan too. Definitely go here if you're craving some traditional Korean comfort food. We really enjoyed our galbi, and pork dishes. Everything tasted fresh, and piping hot. Their tofu soup was flavourful, and hearty. Looking forward to going back and getting their beef rib soup! read more

Hi Anthea - Thank you for sharing your experience at this Korean…
Jang Choong Dong was an unexpected, stumble upon kind of restaurant find for us. I won't name names, but a nearby ramen place that just opened had a crazy 3 hour wait on a Sat night. Needless to say, we're so glad we found Jang Choong Dong instead. Every table was full in the restaurant for dinner, but luckily we were the 1st people on the waiting list so the wait wasn't long at all for a table. We did notice they were short staffed and only had like 2 people working the whole front of house from seating people, to waitering, to cleaning tables, etc. But they were working hard and still managed to do a good job. The restaurant was really nice too, with string lights and brick walls. As far as food goes, their menu is very simple. They pretty much only serve/specialize in wang jokbal (Pig's feet), bossam (pork belly), soondae (blood sausage), and a couple kinds of soup. We had their bossam which was very tender, and their beef soup which had the richest, comforting broth. All of their meat comes with the respective banchan and rice as well. Putting a little bit of everything in a lettuce wrap and dipping it in the garlicky soybean paste is definitely the way to do it. Overall I'd come back again. All of the flavors in their food are simple yet comforting. They also offer a lot of different soju flavors and beer if you're looking to drink too. They say their soup is the best for hangovers haha. Cheers! read more

Fun place to get together. Nicely decorated restaurant. Service was pretty good. Happy hour on weekdays, you get 10% off bossam and jokbal. Food wasn't too bad; I've had better bossam elsewhere before. Plenty of sides to try. Ordered the plum and strawberry soju; plum flavor was personally my favorite! read more

Hi Tiffany, Thank you for your review! We're glad you enjoyed the…
If you are craving for good Korean soup and pig feet, this is the restaurant to go for those. If you are ordering to go the restaurant pack it very nicely. The portion is big you get your money's worth. Each table has a bell button. If you want to save more money pay in cash. The menu is very simple. Everything on the menu is very delicious . read more

Jang Choong Dong was recommended by one of my Korean friends in Houston, so I decided to try it out! Upon entering, I noticed the place is very neatly organized and everything, including menus and utensils, were placed in their respective spots. I ordered the M1 Soondae Kuk and M9 Galbi Jungsuk. The M1 came with soondae, and you have to season it to your liking. However, it was pretty good and definitely would be a good soup for hangovers or allergies. The M9 galbi was good, but I think it was not marinated as long and the season didn't seep in as deep yet. I really liked the dishes I had and hope to come back again to try more dishes in the future! read more
