    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

    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.

    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
    Ezgilibirisi ..

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

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.

Incredibly high quality cuts of beef, slow simmered potatoes, chewy/fresh rice cakes, and fresh delicious vegetables and green onions. The brown gravy/sauce was delicious. The small plates of banchan were both intentional and flavorful. Very good pickling on them. Service was very friendly and the ambiance was peaceful. Even though it was busy, people ate in silence and enjoyed their food. They keep it ice box cold, so definitely bring a layer if you get chilly! It was under $90 for the Galbi Jjim, which is actually a smoking deal. I can't wait to go back.

We also ordered sollangtang and both spicy and non spicy cold noodles. Boy there is something for everyone on the menu. There is even combinations which we will have to try next time. A bit of a wait for the food but totally worth it. We love that the utensils are in a box on the table and pitcher of water and cups are brought to the table. The food is amazing. Just beware, the hot stone items (bibimbap, sollontang) stay piping hot for a LONG time :) be ready to have a big block of time to have a meal here.

The place was pretty packed, and by the time we were seated, a line was already starting to form. It's very dim inside and feels a little cramped, but honestly, none of that bothered us because... the food was absolutely delicious! When even simple, basic French fries are done right, I'm already happy. Then came the tteokbokki with ramen--and even my "no likey tteokbokki" friend loved it. Okayyy... now we're even happier and getting more excited for the rest of the food! It was basically nonstop eating, talking, and praising everything that came to the table. Next came the cheese balls. The crispy outside reminded me so much of Indonesian fried sweet potato balls, but these were filled with creamy cream cheese. Soooo yummy! And finally... the star of the show: THE CHICKEN. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and even the breast meat wasn't dry. Every bite was delicious. We walked out full, happy, and already talking about coming back more often. Truly a finger-licking little piece of heaven Three years was definitely too long to wait for another visit!

We got Dr. Pepper and Pineapple 2. Honey Chicken - must get, the chicken was flavorful and best one I have had and came out pipping hot. I can not wait to try other flavors 3. Crab - I do not care too much for this. My wife enjoy this quite a bit. I do not like the mushy. I ate it to try it and good with the rice rolls 4. Coleslaw - I loved this and worth the $4 dollars 5.
