    Banchan
    Hannah N.

    Came in for the first time here, but it was my second time at a Maht Gaek. The food was just as good here, but the service was a bit slower than the Carrollton location. The interior has an authentic, traditional feel to it. We ordered the same thing and main reason for coming which was the spicy stir fried squid and pork belly. We also had the pork neck bone soup this time. I like their variety of banchan. Everything was tasty and satisfied the Korean food cravings. Left with happy full bellies.

    Pork and fish were the two main dishes we chose

    Food was good. Pork was excellent. Service was rushed. Ambiance was loud. Not a great date spot.

    Was craving some army stew in this cold weather and the one here really hit the spot! My boyfriend and I demolished the whole thing. And the ban chan was solid. It's a spacious restaurant with lots of tables.

    Seafood pancake
    Brian L.

    I was excited to finally give this place a try after being to the Carollton location multiple times. I can say I was thoroughly disappointed. Luckily enough the food is good to keep them in business. We waited a few minutes to get seated and then another 15 minutes before our waitress decided to come by (while she gave water to a table that was seated after us) and ask us if we wanted water. The service was unbelievable in the worst way. We got the seafood pancakes, the original pork ribs, and the boiled ox combination hotpot. The food was great and filling. The menu for the plano location is different from the Carrollton location so keep that in mind. The interior is clean and theres plenty of seating but they do get busy.

    Side dishes
    Angela D.

    I missed korean food and ran into this spot. I got the combination ox tail soup with noodles & rice and it hit the spot. The side dishes were good to compliment the meat and everything tasted pretty authentic. It's nice to have this neighborhood spot instead of driving to Carrollton for a quick meal.

    Excellent Korean food. The grilled ribs are huge and have a great char and marinade. The cold noodles are also really good. The spicy ones aren't too spicy but give enough of a kick to give it some flavor. Plus, they are made of buckwheat so there's a different flavor and texture than the normal cold noodles.

    LA Short Ribs
    Amanda R.

    The beef short ribs are delicious! I had them as a suggestion from my wonderful waitress! The price and amount for the lunch menu was perfect. They give you refillable sides of pickled eggplant, kimchi, cucumbers, and bean sprouts. Also comes with white rice. I sat at a table in the corner and it was perfect for me. I'd return and order the hot stone soup when the weather is cooler. Drop an egg in while it's still boiling! Delish! I like that there is no TV to cause distractions. Nice to ease drop on the conversation around you. It's enlightening! People are strange creatures. They are closed on Tuesday! All other days of the week are fair game! I returned a second time and it was just as good! I'm already craving another night to try something new! This is my new favorite place. July 2024

    Grilled Pork Ribs (soy sauce)
    Tom L.

    TL;DR - I love this place. Grilled pork ribs are amazing. Small dishes and barley tea are great. -- I've been eating at Maht Gaek a long time, mostly from delivery but also a fair number of take-out and dine-in. Despite all that, I realized today that I've never written a review so here goes my attempt at a totally unbiased review of a place where I'm definitely a regular. This location of Maht Gaek is the original one in Dallas and is in the Ranch 99 plaza in Plano. It's a big restaurant inside and has plenty of seating. It's great for big 6+ parties. In fact, there aren't many small tables and it can get kind of awkward when your party of 3 take up a table meant for 6. Luckily a few tables can be broken up into smaller ones. This place is almost always packed around meal times. They close every day at mid-day for couple hours to rest. I generally come here right when they open either for lunch (11 am) or dinner (5 pm) to avoid the crowds. Korean music plays in the background and the restaurant can get pretty loud during busy hours. Complimentary hot barley tea (with refills) is available upon request. This is great for cold days and tastes way better than water. Today I ordered a seafood soft tofu soup, soy sauce grilled pork rib, and a hot stone bowl bibimbap. One of the reasons I love Maht Gaek are the small dishes. They're very generous for take-out and give endless refills when dining-in. I particularly love the pickled cucumbers and kimchi because they're refreshing and the sour/spicy is a great way to balance the big meat dishes. I don't much care for the bean sprouts, eggplant, fish cake, and side salad but my wife likes them so it works out. The seafood soft tofu soup (soondubu) comes with a raw egg. I only get tofu soup when dining-in because it's a pain to deal with it at home. The soup comes out boiling hot (literally boiling) so crack that egg and drop it in. Then stir it ASAP to make sure it gets cooked because it'll cool the soup down really fast (unless you want uncooked egg in your soup). The soup comes with lots of soft tofu (probably half of it is tofu), and one of each of the following - shrimp with head and shell, oyster, clam meat, baby octopus, squid, and a dash of diced zucchini. It also comes with a one-person serving of white rice. Overall, it's pretty good. It makes for a pretty complete meal for one person with the rice and the refillable small dishes. The hot stone bowl bibimbap was alright. The rice is burnt and crusted against the side of stone bowl and gives it an extra layer of flavor. There are lots of veggies but not much protein (which is beef). The bibimbap on its own isn't very flavorful. For stronger flavor, add more bibimbap sauce and mix in the small dishes. This bibimbap is probably good for sharing between 2-3 people. The grilled pork rib comes in two flavors - soy sauce and original (spicy). We got the soy sauce flavor. It's basically a hot plate piled high with grilled pork ribs. It also comes with a one-person serving of white rice but the dish overall is probably enough for 2 people. The pork was chewy, juicy, flavorful, not too salty, and just a little burnt. All in all, pretty good. I generally use kimchi or cucumbers to balance out the oiliness of the ribs. The meat isn't fall off the bone or anything, but sometimes you just want to grab a rib with your hands and rip it apart, ya know? Anyways, this and the LA Galbi are probably my favorite dishes here. The service can be hit or miss depending on when you come here. The food usually comes out pretty quick. However, the waitstaff can become forgetful when it gets busy so don't be afraid to give them a reminder. Today they forgot my barley tea so I had to ask a second time when my food came out. There are no napkins at the table so be sure to ask for it. You can pay at your table when you're done.

    The atmosphere is great. So warming. The food is good, this is my first time here and I loved it. The portions did not disappoint and it was very tasty. Definitely recommend, be wary of wait times.

    Gathered with friends for dinner at Maht Gaek Sunday night in Plano, Texas. The place was quite busy with many patrons. It was decorated nicely with a standard Asian type theme. Our server was pleasant and friendly. The food was pretty good. I enjoyed all the dishes. The seafood pancake was filled a variety of shrimp or prawns, fish, and green onions. The pancake is made with potato starch. It is a batter filled with goodness and then fried. The pancake was a tad thick so kind of not fully cooked on the inside. We had the beef short ribs. Those were very tasty, tender, and flavorful. Next entree we ate was Bim bam bop. It has Korean beef, fried egg, carrots, purple cabbage, and cucumbers with rice on the bottom. The dish is cooked in a hot stone bowl so the rice will have a hard and crunchy bottom layer which provides a unique texture. All of our dishes were different and tasted delicious. The parking was easy access since the restaurant is located in a strip mall. The prices are reasonable and our experience was great! If ever in the Dallas or Plano area, I will return to this lovely restaurant.

    BBQ pork ribs
    George F.

    Had a craving for Korean food on a recent trip to Dallas so I checked Yelp and found Maht Gaek in Plano. It's located in the Ranch 99 supermarket shopping center. We arrived just before the noon lunch rich and got seated right away. They were busy throughout lunch and a constant line of customers waiting for a table. The service is fast and efficient and the food comes out fast. Only downfall is the tables are small and the four top we sat at could not hold all the dishes we ordered. BBQ pork ribs 5 stars their signature dish. Meaty grilled pork stacked on a hot plate. Oxbone soup 4.5 stars great bone broth could have had more toppings and noodles. Sautéed calamari 5 stars large portion spicy sweet. Grilled mackerel 3 stars good portions a bit dry Banchans we're good especially the eggplant Service was good. Plenty of parking.

    Deja V.

    Reasonable price for lunches and good portions to fulfill your hunger. The meat quality is excellent here and always good quality . Staffs was nice also . One of the best place for lunch or dinner .

    Refillable banchan from your entree order.
    Anna S.

    Great place to satisfy your Korean food cravings. They have all the common dishes on their menu - tofu soup, bibimbap, bbq ribs, and even the oxtail soup. You can't go wrong with any selections. My friend got the spicy oxtail soup and I got the spicy squid entree. At many restaurants, the spicy squid can be a bit too spicy. However, the spicy squid here is just right - it is more sweet & tangy with a hint of spiciness. The portion size was large - I had some leftovers to take home for a second meal. We also love the banchans they serve here - which you can ask to refill. They gave us kimchi, spicy daikons, fish cake (amazing!), bean sprouts, and I think the last one is eggplants? (I didn't pay too much attention but it was delicious). It's conveniently located in the same plaza as 99 Ranch, Daiso, and 85 Degree C Bakery. Perfect place to stop by before or after your errands.

Most Yelpers will post on here where he's at for the day or just give him a call. First, you're greeting by the smoke which is my first rule when it comes to bbq. If I can't smell it, I ain't eating it. Second, are all the nice people waiting in line. Folks were like kids at Christmas; they couldn't wait to dig in. Then there's the Pitmaster and you can tell right away about his passion. Not just for his craft but the people he's serving. Don takes his time with each person and you're having a genuine conversation. It's just so much more than just a transaction. I ended getting, what I'm going to call the, Pitmaster's Plate. I had $50 and told Don that give me whatever I could get for it. I got some of everything: sausage, lean brisket, spareribs, and my two favorites fatty brisket and the chicken (he only serves dark meat). The meat was not overly seasoned with just a hit of spice. I'm guessing salt, pepper, granulated garlic, granulated onion, cayenne and maybe a little mustard powder. It had a strong smokey flavor so I'm guessing either mesquite or oak. I didn't get any sauce so I was bummed about that and some of the lean brisket was a little dry but it's definitely worth all the money. I got so much food and it was a pleasure just being there. I ended up making some pimento grilled just with the brisket and it was . There are no sides, no bread, just pit style bbq. If you can, definitely make your way there.

    Wow, I see it has been 12 years since my original review even though we have been to Kenny's many…read moretimes during the past 12 years. It remains one of our favorite restaurants. The food is consistently excellent. We went for dinner on a Saturday night (reservations are highly recommended). The wife had the chicken as a main entree. It was outstanding. The chicken was smoky, tender, and moist. It has a bevy of vegetables that are cooked perfectly. It comes with a side and she got the baked potato with everything. She loved everything about this entree. For me, it was an easy decision. I LOVE their wedge salad and started with that. The price has gone up a bit but it remains outstanding. For some reason, the waiter gave me a small but it was fine. The small in 2026 is $7.99 and the regular size is now $11.99. For my entree, I ordered from the appetizer menu and got the crab cake. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the crab cake. It has to be the best in Dallas. It is one half pound of pure crab meat, no filler. The price has gone up to $26.99 so it is not cheap, but it is outstanding quality. The cake was perfectly cooked and the crab was sweet. It comes with three dips but to me, I want to taste the crab so I did not use them. The kid had the old fashioned fries and devoured them. Our server, Mark, was attentive and efficient. Service was excellent as usual. Overall, this is one of the best restaurants in Dallas and IMO the best in the line of Kenny's restaurants. I cannot wait to return.
