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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cho Dang Village - Tofu soup

There's nothing better on a chilly, rainy afternoon than a warm, nourishing bowl of soup. In this…read morecase, it was soondubu at Cho Dang Village. Before the main event, we got the seafood & green onion pancake. Crispy on the outside and reasonably chewy interior. Good amount of seafood; in particular, the oyster stood out. It was also a nice portion that was ideal for sharing. I opted for the seafood soondubu. Everything, from the banchan to the specific side dishes served with the soondubu, came out not too long after ordering. I got it at spice level three which I thought offered the right amount of kick without being too overwhelming (I also like to think I have a pretty strong spice tolerance). It had a good variety of seafood; namely, the shrimp and oyster. I'm not the biggest fan of clams but they were definitely still tasty. The tofu was soft and silky. The yellow croaker and rice were great supplements to the dish. The rice perfectly absorbed the broth. The croaker added a nice crunchy break from everything. The banchan was pretty standard in my opinion - still, a great complement to the soondubu. Last but not least - service was attentive and quick. I will definitely be coming back at some point!

2 friends and I came on a Friday afternoon, and I was worried it would be packed with a long wait…read moretime based on other reviews, but from our experience, this is a good time to come! The restaurant had plenty of space, but service was still super fast and efficient anyway, which I loved. What I love about Chodang is that the food is stellar and such good PORTIONS. Knowing this, I still opted to order a Combo Special because the thought of having leftovers for the next day sounded great to me. I ordered the Kimchi Tofu Soup with Beef Bulgogi, and it was delicious. I usually order my soups at the Spicy level, which I would say has a kick and flavor but never leaves me panting for air or water. As someone who likes spice, I wouldn't say it's very spicy, but definitely flavorful. Beef Bulgogi is one of my favorite dishes, and this place's version does not disappoint. The meat is tender and has a good balance of sweet and salty. My friends also ordered Combo Specials with a Tofu soup and the Korean bbq ribs, and Spicy Pork Bulgogi. One of these friends opted for the medium spice level, which I would say is a safe choice for everyone, especially if you're worried about something being too spicy. All soups come with Korean side dishes, a whole grilled yellow croaker fish (delicious but lots of bones), and a hot stone bowl of rice. Nothing missed!

What a joy to find this place…read more The soup portion was HUGE. I got a spicy beef soup with mushrooms and zucchini and it was amazing. The kimchi was so good that I got a second serving. The gentleman cooking the food was so friendly. He checked on me and gave me two complimentary gyoza. Definitely recommend. My belly is full and I am happy. FYI: You order at a kiosk and they call your number when your order is ready. You get your own water and utensils.

The…read morefood is hearty, flavorful, and feels like it was made to actually fill you up--not just look pretty on Instagram. 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.

They have different batter options to choose for the friend chicken depending on how thick you like your batter, we got the yorienn batter which is the thinnest one i believe!

Id def come back just for the chicken! Service was also friendly and I like how it wasnt super crowded or loud like other late night spots in the area. c:
