Noodles were flavorful but very salty. Galbi jjim was undercooked and had SO much fat on the meat. I definitely wouldn't come back here on my own and don't recommend. They don't have any side dishes except kimchi. Granted their kimchi is very good, though.
Coming back, they have expanded their menu, and interior has changed a bunch. The food is delicious, still great for a cold cloudy day. Their kimchi is also super delicious.
Kooksoo was OK... it didn't stand out to me. The Lobster Jjamppong was not good. It looks pretty but the taste was not it. The Bibim Kooksoo was also forgettable... I did like the Galbi Jjim. This was my favorite item from what we ordered. We might have just ordered the wrong items.
Service was friendly but I was really underwhelmed by the bulgogi. It was oily and lacked flavor. The Korean flat dumplings were very delicious though! The glass noodles were good and the rice was cooked perfectly. I just really wish the beef had been better quality and more flavor.
Kooksoo's spicy chicken noodle soup is a must. It comes with a mini side of kimchi, and honestly, "yum" is an understatement. Forget Campbell's... this is the real deal: rich, flavorful chicken broth, perfectly shredded chicken, bok choy, mushrooms, onions. Every spoonful is loaded with goodness!! Rain or shine, 100° or 50°, I'll be there for this soup. That's how addictive it is.
KOOKSOO is really good. We're very happy that they were recommended to us because GOOD Korean food is hard to come by these days. My wife ordered the King Ribs Jjamppong combo with Galbi and I ordered the Beef Kooksoo combo with Bulgogi. Both of these decisions were very, very good decisions. The flavor, quality AND quantity of these dishes were top notch. I'm aware that the prices seem pretty high, but you're definitely getting more than what you're paying for. Our server was very helpful and available. The food came and promptly without any compromise to its quality. I really can't think of anything that should prevent you from giving KOOKSOO a visit. It's really good.
Self service iPad. Quiet and not too crowded. I got free dumplings with yelp check in and they were great! Came out hot and generous with the filling. The pork,veggies, and crisp outer shell was a good bite. The stir fry noodles were also really good. I was skeptical about the Parmesan on top but it really brought the dish together. The chewy fresh noodles paired with the nice tender beef. I ate each bite with their house made kimchi which never misses.
ANNYEONGHASEYO Jungkooksoo IMNDIDA!! 방탄!! This food was pretty good but not my style. I wish I liked this food more but it just didn't hit as much. Throw in the fact that my meal was $30 I don't think I'll be coming back just because it's not my style. But if you like this food It would be great for you. The service was really good and the workers were really nice. Ambiance was good too clean restaurant with a nice vibe! :) BANGTAN BOY OUT!
This bulgogi was so good!!! I didn't have anything else on the menu but I will definitely be back for this. The kimchi was amazing, my boyfriend doesn't usually like it but he couldn't get enough of it here. It was very quiet and we were the only two in the restaurant at one point so it seems like this spot is lowkey (for now). Service is fast, you order on a tablet so it's a pretty smooth process.
Staff and servers are fast and welcoming. The food is so good! We always take left over home and the restaurant is small but clean! Everytime we go they're slowly expanding their menu. Super excited to try other dishes when we go back. Pro Tip: don't forget to check in on Yelp! It comes with free dumplings
Great service, free kids meal, food is pretty good and huge portion. It was 80% full during Sunday dinner time
The seafood king ribs noodle soup is amazing. Friendly staff. Modern interior. Self-serve kiosk.

Tried the Beef Kooksoo since it was so popular but was let down. Smelled weird when the plate first hit the table, almost a little spoiled. The Beef stir fired noodles were really good and the kimchi was perfectly balanced. Very sad about the beef Kooksoo read more
Food: 3.3./5 Service: 4/5 We tried the beef stir fried noodles and seafood kalguksu. I found the overall flavors to be good, but nothing special. Unfortunately, there were multiple clumped up noodles in my stir fried dish which took away from the slurping experience. Big portions considering the price. read more

King Ribs Jjamppong kooksoo is a good standard place for some warm soupy noodles. since their bowls are usually so hefty, i recommend splitting one with a friend. ive tried BEEF KOOKSOO, KING RIBS JJAMPPONG, and STIR FRIED BEEF WITH NOODLES, and GALBI JJIM. my favorite is the classic beef kooksoo. dont get me wrong the other dishes are super yummy, but when you see everyone else eating hot soup, you also get a craving for hot soup. oh also the galbi is a MUST - life is never complete without some. i also love that they are always refilling your kimchi & its one of the better kimchis ive had at restraunts. the ambiance is clean, with some wood elements. honestly the perfect place for people working a 9-5 to eat at. read more

I took my friend to try kooksoo for his first time in Plano by Mitsuwa Market. Kooksoo is known for their hand cut noodle dishes, this specific kind is similar to kalguksu but is known as 'feast noodles' meant for celebratory events. They have added a lot of dishes since I last came here. A lot of seafood dishes such as the lobster, octopus, and abalone dishes. We got the beef kooksoo and stir fried beef with noodles. Both dishes come with a ton of zucchini and onions. The beef kooksoo has a flavorful and spiced broth and the noodles absorb a lot of the flavor. It'll definitely make you feel warm on a cold day. The stir fried dish was really good as well, honestly probably better. The Parmesan adds a lot to the flavor and the beef has a smoky flavor to it. The Kimchi here is homemade and you can taste it. They close their kitchen 30 minutes before closing so don't come last minute. read more

This is one of my go-to casual Korean noodle place near our house. They have variety of noodles to choose from but my husband's favorite is Stir fried beef with noodles. It's one of the few dry noodles options but it's so flavorful! I like to rotate my dish between the stir fried noodle, beef noodle, and King Jjamppong. King Jjamppong is such a HUGE dish with abundant amount of beef, mussels, and shrimp. Soup was also super good. Looks spicy but not that spicy after all. Their kimchi is the best and goes well with all of their noodles. Their service is quick and it's nice that you can just order from a screen that's on each table. Great system. read more

In Plano and Frisco, there is no shortage of delicious Korean eats. If you like a cozy, homey vibe, Kooksoo is your choice. We got there to avoid a long line of hungry souls since it's a small restaurant. We ordered a few popular items: stir-fried beef noodles, king ribs Jjam ppong, and also the Korean Galbi short ribs. The stir-fried beef noodles were delicious. The noodles tasted fresh and chewy, soaking up all the flavors of the sauce. The king ribs noodles were awesome! The meat on the ribs was so tender that It just fell off the bone. The spicy broth was lusciously savory! The shrimp and mussels added a unique freshness to the broth. We just loved it. Korean short ribs are always a hit. We enjoyed the ribs very much. They were beautifully grilled, garnished with a hint of green onion on top and a bed of glass noodles at the bottom. The sweet, savory, and smoky flavors of the meat made us hungry for more! The service was great with friendly and patient wait staff. Come on in and try it out. You won't get disappointed. read more

Delicious Korean soup dish. Combo included kimchi and I had mine on a cold evening with hot green tea. read more
This place is so good I had to make another review with pictures. Kooksoo is always very clean and has some of the best service in Dallas with very kind staff. The food is so delicious, consistent, and is always served hot. The value you get for the price you pay is almost unheard of. This is one of my regulars and I would recommend to anyone looking for a good hot meal. read more

Found this place solely because of Yelp, and came here solely because of the many positive reviews. If you are on the fence, and you like Korean food, let me just settle it for you. Go today. There can't be this many liars in the Yelp community- trust the process. We came here on a weekend afternoon and were greeted and seated immediately by the friendly staff. We ordered some dumplings (pro tip: you can get these for free by checking in on Yelp), and then for entrees we got bulgogi and (duh) beef kooksoo. Everything was fantastic. The dumplings were unique and I enjoyed the sauce that came with them. The bulgogi was pretty standard, but very well done. It's cooked with garlic which adds flavor. The kooksoo was our favorite. If you haven't had it, it's basically just noodles and meat in a bowl of broth (like pho, ramen, etc.) but the flavors were so good here. I'd go back and order this no question. Give it a try, you won't regret it. Don't want to? Go look at my photos and reconsider. read more
** Large portions, authentic taste, and reasonable price points. Recommend trying the king rib jjamppong and galbi! Kookso has been one of my favorite Korean restaurants in the area and is regularly in my rotation in the Plano area. The meat on the ribs in the jjamppong is tender and pretty much falls right off the bone. The ribs are Texas sized so be prepared! I also love the noodle texture and flavor in the soup, as they are very chewy. The broth is rich and spicy but not overwhelming or too spicy. Added in are some seafood (shrimp and mussels) and some veggies like bean sprouts, green onions, and zucchini's. Lots of variety all in one dish. The galbi is also flavorful and though pricey, it comes with a lot so it's good to share. Make sure you take advantage of the free dumplings with the check in offer! read more

We were looking forward to some good Korean food as I was craving noodles. The pictures of this restaurant looked really appealing on Google. Inside, it was tiny but had cute decor. As soon as we sat down, the waiter told us to use the self-ordering system on the table, which I thought was pretty cool. However, the tablet was really slow. My husband ordered the galbi, which came on top of clear glass noodles. It was a huge portion and came out quickly, but it was tasteless and chewy. They only offered one side of kimchi banchan, which was disappointing because every other Korean restaurant I've been to offers at least four banchan. I ordered the spicy cold noodle soup, but it never arrived. After waiting for almost 30 minutes, I decided to cancel the order. This restaurant looked promising, but I'm giving it 1 star right now because the galbi was chewy and flavorless, and they only provided one side of banchan. I plan to return to try their noodle dishes and will update my review then. read more
Kooksoo is my top restaurant for Korean noodles/soup. It's amazing on a cold/rainy day but it's honestly something I'm always craving. The broth of each dish is packed with tons of flavor and the noodles are just the right texture. My favorite dish I always get is the king ribs Jjamppong. The portion is huge, there's a variety of seafood like shrimp and muscles, and these gigantic beef ribs are just fall-off the bone tender. Honestly one of the best combinations of soup, meats, and veggies. Its spicer compared to their other soups, but it's not too overwhelming that it would subtract from the flavor. A fantastic, heartwarming dish that's so addicting that I'll always want to order when I visit. Other notable things I've tried are the beef kooksoo, bulgogi, and LA Galbi. Everything is great but my winner is still the Jjamppong. read more
Such a cute hidden gem in Plano! The unique tablet ordering system at each table makes the service incredibly fast and convenient. My top picks here are the crispy Korean fried dumplings and the stir-fried beef with noodles--they never disappoint. If you're craving delicious noodles, this is absolutely the place to be. Highly recommend checking it out for a tasty dining experience! read more

We ordered a combo of Beef Kooksoo and bulgogi. The size was decent for the price. It didn't entirely fulfill two people but we were pretty hungry. Both dishes were delicious. We will come back when we want hot soup. read more

Small Korean place in a strip mall in Plano. They specialize in noodle soups and they do them oh so well! The beef noodle soup is a large bowl of mildly spicy, flavorful, rich broth, packed with noodles and tender beef. It also contains some vegetables to round out the dish. It is server with a side of excellent Kimchi. The chicken noodle soup (not the spicy version) is like what you crave on a cold day or when you feel sick and just want some comfort. It has a warm, deep chicken flavor and is packed with noodles. As you slurp in some noodles, you just feel that wave of nurturing warmth that only a good chicken noodle soup can bring. If you want something truly spicy and like seafood, the King Ribs Jjam Ppong is the right choice for you. A large rib and plenty of mussels and shrimp come with a bunch of noodles and a spicy broth that'll clear your sinuses. It still manages to pack a lot of flavor that shines through the spice. If you like noodle soups and Korean flavors, this is a great place to go. read more

There are a lot of Korean dishes that are very underrated and deserve more attention in the spotlight. Out with the tofu-jigae, and in with the Jjam Ppong! Just kidding, I still love me some tofu-jigae. I would say Kooksoo is the Korean equivalent of a pho restaurant, but with much higher quality ingredients and larger portions. Come very hungry, and sharing is highly recommended between at least 2-3 people. I only got the chance to try the King Ribs Jjam Ppong. The only thing that made me sad about it, was that I couldn't finish it on my own. The meal is held in a large metal bowl, which keeps the soup hot throughout. It contains noodles, veggies, and various types of seafood. My favorite part is the two large, extremely tender, short rib. The meat literally falls off the bone. For ~$20, this is a steal! I wish I got to try the galbi, but that will have to be for next time. We also got a free side of Korean fried dumplings for checking into Yelp. It was essentially a fried cheese dumpling. Nothing special to note, except that it was free. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to be included in any food itinerary. The only con about this place is that it's only in the Dallas area. I would love it if they came to Houston! read more

This is a pretty good place. It feels new, nice, and clean. It's calm and quiet here. Service was good, unobtrusive, and fast. Menu is not huge (which I consider a plus) and very easy to navigate to find food you want to try. We ordered 2 different soups and dumplings appetizer. We also got a complimentary meal for the kid who was less than 7 years old - which was really nice. Food was ready fast and taste was good. It wasn't anything amazing and not something I would call as a must visit again - that's the only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars. One other thing as a con is that our table for 4 was very small even for 2 adults and 2 kids. If everyone would have ordered a full sized meal, it would be pretty cramped. But I won't call it such a big deal. All-in-all, place was good and I do recommend it. Maybe not the best Korean restaurant for those price point in DFW but still a good one. read more

SOO GOOD ;) I regret not coming here earlier, but once I tried it, I had to come back again the week after. Kooksoo is my new go-to for enjoying a bowl of steaming noodles in winter. The beef stir fry noodles really showcased their strength: noodles with an addictively chewy and bouncy texture. It's as if boba were in noodle form. The sauce and cheese also combined to form a perfect complement to the juicy slices of beef. The chicken noodle soup featured the same noodles in a spicy, rich broth. The chicken was a bit stringy, so maybe I'll stick to the beef in the future. However, if you are really hungry, the soup is bigger than the stir fry dish, so it will definitely fill you up! I am so glad that I finally decided to try Kooksoo and will be sure to return! read more

Authentic Korean food in a relaxed setting and a great Korean playlist to match. Their ordering method is via a tablet on the table, but the staff is happy to answer any questions or give recommendations as needed. The food came quickly, portions were huge and easily shareable, and fresh. read more
