Seafood pancake
Julia S.

Some of the best seafood pancake I've had! The spicy squid was also excellent. Good banchan as well, and fast service. I wish there was soy sauce crab - we went basically 45 minutes after they opened on a Wednesday (they're closed Tuesdays) and they were already out, even on a slow day and time. Is there a day/time that's best to come for crab? I'll come back again for the seafood pancake!

I dream about the spicy pork ribs. Authentic and yummy Korean food that we all see in the dramas. Banchans are fantastic and portions are huge. Pork neck bone soup, pancake, spicy squid are all a hit. Will return!

pork ribs
Vania B.

Tried this place out based on good recommendations and I thought it was ok! Pork ribs were flavorful and tasted like the better version of standard "sweet and spicy pork" dishes. The seafood pancake was mostly batter... I was struggling to find any seafood in it. Also, as someone who can't handle spicy food, I don't like how a lot of menu items were spicy and the spice levels were not adjustable.

Soy garlic pork ribs

SO GOOD. I can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. And I probably want to come back with a few people so I can try more than a couple things at a time :) it was my and my husband's first meal of the day and we didnt have a huge appetite yet so we only ordered two items and we still couldn't finish it! So full!! Soy garlic pork ribs - def can't skip on it. It's not dry. Melts in your mouth. Charred just the right amount. So much flavor and comes with so much meat! They're not tiny little ribs either! Seafood pancake - variety of seafood in it. I do not care for the big shrimp they put in it (they also have tiny shrimp). The big shrimp didn't taste fresh..I'm also not a huge fan of shrimp so if it tastes even a little fishy I refuse to eat it, so I just picked it out. Everything else in it was pretty good. It wasn't a thin pancake. It was thick with a bunch of stuff In it and it was still crispy.

We have been to the Plano location. But it's our first time in their Carrollton location. Both locations are pretty busy. There's always a wait... but it is so worth it. The pork ribs bbq is so good. We ordered bothe the soy sauce and the original. While both of them are good, we all liked the soy sauce better. The soup we ordered is the thin beef slices, tripe and tendon. It also came with enoki and king oyster mushrooms. You will have to add salt to the soup . I think it was meant to be that way. Once the salt is added, it was very good. My friend added some kimchi to hers to make it a bit spicy. We will be back to try their other stuff.

Korean Raw Crab

Their soup was delicious but the highlight was soy sauce marinated Korean raw crab. The small size had very generous amount. Also as soon as we finish side dishes, they kept offering more which is very generous. I loved the pickled cucumber and the spicy kimchi.

Banchan
Lisa K.

I've probably dined at Maet Gaek once a month since they opened the Carrollton location. Their menu might not be as extensive as other Korean places but the dishes offered are more than enough to keep you coming back for more. My favorites are their original pork ribs, bibimneungmyun, and sullungtang. Their portions are generous and I love their variety of banchan they serve (my mom commented their banchan all have sugar and that's why they're addicting - she is a hard woman to please). There's always a wait during lunch and dinner so come early or late if you're set on dining here.

Cold soy sauce marinated crab, pork ribs, tendon soup, cold noodles
Shu S.

You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't try the soy sauce marinated raw crab and cold noodles. Firstly, their ban chan is actually good (got seconds). You'll have to call ahead to see if they have the raw crabs day of since they don't prep it everyday or by chance they sell out. Crab: yes it's raw but it's not what you think. The marinated pairs really well with the flesh of the crab so you'll be getting a lot of the freshness and sweetness. Combine each bite with a scoop of rice/kimchi and you're gonna want more each time. Cold noodles and pork rib: wrap the pork with the cold noodles. No additional comment needed. Service and ambience: awesome staff. They have a jinro frog.

Soup and sides
Kevin T.

Saw the reviews and saw the location so why not give it a shot? Tried the soups and the #5 spicy soup was lacking meat, noodles, and veggies, for $15 I would have expected a little more protein and portion. The service was good, the bonchon would never go empty, the pork ribs had really good flavor but portion could have had a little more. I'm glad I tried this place but do not think I would frequent this location, I left feeling like I over spent on a simple meal.

Soy garlic pork ribs
Linh T.

Finally was able to try this 2nd location! Food was excellent! They're still in their soft opening phase but up and functioning like they're fully open! Kudos to the friendly, attentive staff! Food: we ordered their renown pork ribs, both original and soy garlic. It was delish!! Paired so well with rice and their flavorful banchans. The seafood pancake was crisp to perfection! The spicy squid had such strong flavor of black pepper but it was still good! I'm so glad they finally open this location. I highly recommend this place, great customer service and even better food!

Overpriced for small portions. Recommend going to the Plano location instead, which has a more extensive menu.

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!

We ordered gamjatang and waited about 30 minutes. At first, we assumed it was taking a while to prepare. However, when other customers arrived, ordered the same dish, and received their food within five minutes, we realized something was wrong. When we finally asked the staff, we learned that she had forgotten to place our order. What made the experience more frustrating was that no one checked on us during those 30 minutes. We were simply left sitting there, waiting for our food. The staff apologized and offered us complimentary soft drinks to make up for the mistake, but by then, we had already lost our appetite. Unfortunately, the gamjatang itself was just average and did not make up for the disappointing experience. Things got even more frustrating when we checked the bill. Despite the drinks being offered as complimentary, we were charged for them. We had to bring this to the staff's attention twice before the charges were finally removed. Overall, the service was disappointing, from the forgotten order to the repeated billing mistake. We came in excited to enjoy a good bowl of Korean gamjatang, but the experience fell well short of our expectations. Would we visit again? Nah!
