    Potatoes
    Briana N.

    I was surprised to see that this restaurant wasn't that busy when we came on a Saturday night! The server was immediately so friendly, allowing us to sit wherever we wanted, quickly bringing out silverware and banchan, and making sure we had what we needed. The banchan itself was delicious! I was especially a big fan of the potatoes and the fish cake. The seollung tang was so light and refreshing. And comes with a good amount of meat as well as glass noodles. You can salt it to your taste, as well as add as many or little green onions as you want. A tip though, make sure to let the salt melt in the hot soup before you add more. I didn't do that, so it did end up a little saltier than I liked, but that's on me. The banban nangmyeon comes in such a cute dish, splitting the two different noodles apart. The spicy noodles weren't that spicy and had a bit of a sweeter aftertaste. And the cold noodles came with vinegar and mustard so that you can customize the flavor yourself.

    Solid seollung tang spot. Went for dinner on a Sunday evening and the place was pretty empty. Service was quick and the kimchi and kkakdugi was really good. Perfect combo with the broth. Highly recommend if you need soup fix.

    Cute Korean place in Korea town. There's plenty of parking and the lady working there was super nice. I ordered the Banban Naengmyun and it was ok. For me, I wasn't a huge fan of the flavor. I was expecting something else, but my friends ordered the Seoullang tang and they really enjoyed it. I think I just ordered the wrong dish. The banchan was really good though, especially the potatoes. There was a draft in the restaurant so we move tables to avoid it.

    The soup was perfect on a cold, snowy day. They give generous amount of meat and the server was on top of it. We also got Mandoo and they were gigantic!

    Seems unassuming but the food is super delicious and the service was prompt. Was craving some good Korean food after road trip and just had to hit this spot up for some dinner. It did NOT disappoint.

    Communication was ... so just point finger! Food was good, not as amazing as I hope it to be but good enough I want to give other dishes a try. Will have to come back. LA Galbi was ok, not impressive. Cold noodles were better. I'm so glad they had the combo for indecisive ...many to order

    Cold noodles with spicy sauce

    The food is amazing here. My family and I used to come here at least once a week or two but now we live a bit further away, can't go as often. We got the spicy stewed monkfish and la galbi+ cold noodles with spicy sauce combo and it was more than enough for 3 people. They were all so full of flavor and I loved each and every dish, especially the cold noodles since its one of the best dish during summer! The service is also amazing here not only because of all the servers but the owner herself serves people and make sure everything is done right! The vibe of the restaurant is like any typical Korean restaurant but its spacious and bright which I personally like. Its a clean restaurant with clean bathroom!!!

    Been on a korean pork bone soup tour recently and saw this one on royal lane so I had to stop! The lady helping us was great! Friendly and attentive. I loved their noodle banchan, a nice addition and the egg salad? i think was awesome. Got the back bone pork soup and the spicy goat soup for $14 and $17 respectively. Normally I get the neck bone with comes with more meat/ or its just easier for myself to eat this back bone was just physically harder to navigate ( guess that helps me slow down since I normally chow too fast :) ) Meat was tender, potatos soft, and they got some kinda special mushrooms. I had a bite of the goat soup and that meat was awesome and soft as well. Slight preference to the goat since its easier to eat for me, its like barbacoa in a korean soup. It was a good experience, but I do not see myself going back.

    I frequent this restaurant with my parents at least once a month...we love it here! We always order the traditional ox bone soup - it never disappoints! And the side dishes are delicious as well! Oh, and everyone that works here are suuuuper nice and hospitable! I definitely give this place 2 thumbs up!!! :)

    Came in for some soup and it was good. Only thing that it was bland. THe portion of the LA Galbi was smaller than I expected. It was chewy and too sweet for my liking. Still Delicious though. Not as good as the one in LA but it's convenient.

    sul lang tang + brisket
    Stacy Y.

    Disclaimer: this review is pretty much solely for the sul lang tang. LA Hanbat is pretty widely known for its sul lang tang (ox bone soup), and I have been meaning to try it for a long time. I came with a friend with really high expectations. We both ordered the sul lang tang with brisket and munched on the kimchi/radish while we waited. Unfortunately, the wait for a bowl of soup ended up being 30+ minutes because the server totally forgot to put in our order. If I were to rate service, it would probably be 1-2 stars. But if you're okay with overlooking service, this place is the bomb. The sul lang tang was so delicious and hearty, and it goes perfectly with rice. I like that you add salt/pepper/green onions at the table because you can customize the flavor to your own preference. Plus, we learned a bonus fact that you can refill the soup (but not the meat, obvs) for free! I would say that this place is 100% worth it every time. :)

    Boyfriend suggested this place for soup. It was okay. Nothing too fancy with this place. Small little restaurant. The menu was small so I guess quality was decent. If you're in the area and wants some Korean soup or stew, check this place out. It's okay

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!
