    Bibibap and spicy pork bulgogi with all the banchan.
    Andrew G.

    This is the first Korean restaurant I have been to in DFW and my wife's first ever Korean experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]All of the food was really good in the atmosphere felt like being in a family member's house.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] All of the food was well seasoned, but not too pungent. I really enjoyed the fresh kimchi.

    I really like that this place is just a couple of minutes from my house. I haven't been in a while so it was nice to be able to go with my friend. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is always a place to sit.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not too loud inside so you can definitely hear your conversation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I usually go for the beef spare rib, the food is always really good and amazing. You get several sides to go along with your meal. I try to go at least once a month, but I would like to go more.

    So I was looking for a Korean bbq place for dinner and this place popped up on Google so that's where we ended up. It's a small place in a strip mall, we were greeted immediately as we walked in and the staff was very very friendly and attentive. They do have some tables with Korean bbq grills in the center but I didn't see any Korean bbq options and nobody in the restaurant was using one either I'm not sure what that's about. I ordered the spicy beef bulgoggi and a Korean beer I've never heard of which was kinda like a Heineken, my girlfriend ordered the combo fried rice. The bulgoggi was tasty but seemed to have just as much as onions as it did beef even though I ordered the large and for $17 in my opinion overpriced, the fried rice was a good portion and our meals came with all the usual side dishes which is nice. Overall it's not what I was looking for and it was overpriced but the food was fresh and had food flavor.

    We are still getting the sausage jungol because it is just that good! Get it and you will not be disappointed. All of the accompanying sides are tasty and fun! Now you also need to try the kimchi jun (spicy tasty pancake) and Kimbap roll. Our server was fantastic as always!

    Kim chi's with spicy pork bulgogi in the middle

    This place is a gem. Simple place, great food, nice staff, decent portion-size. The Kim chi's are complimentary & you can get refills. We loved all the Kim chi's & savored every bite! Both the bimbop & spicy pork bulgogi were so tasty & tender. Loved the crispy rice in the bimbop cast iron bowl. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is nicely decorated in Korean theme & spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A hidden gem in plain sight! Very authentic Korean restaurant. The servers were very friendly and helped with the menu. My husband and I shared 2 large Korean BBQ plates and it came with all the little sides. We also order separately kimchi stew and the kimchi pancake. Everything was so delicious! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was very homey and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We will def be coming back soon!

    My To-Go Korean spot! (My Korean friend approved!!). Me and my husband have been coming since we were still in college. It always gets the spicy pork and my husband always gets the grill eel! We're usuals here haha! The servers know us and our order, they are super sweet! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a mom and pop shop so the food feels very homie![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Gimbap

    Friendly staff. Bad food. But I guess I shouldn't have expected better Korean food in Fort worth. You're better off just driving the extra time to go to Carrollton or even Dallas for better Korean food. The only decent dish we ordered was a galbi tang. But no Korean restaurant should make a bad galbi tang. The waitress was friendly. Most of the customers seemed to be regulars. And not Korean.

    Kimchi pancake. Fantastic.
    Wayne Z.

    Tasty! Tried to pop in for lunch a few months ago and they were slammed so I left not having much time. Just met a coworker here today and they were MUCH slower. Friendly service although only 1 waitress really for the entire place so could be problematic if busier. We both ordered the lunch bento box was pretty solid amt of food for the money. We got beef bulgogi and spicy chicken and both boxes were demolished in short order. Not a soup person so left that untouched. What probably stole the show though was the kimchi pancake as it was amazing. Will def be back again!

    Bibimbap
    thienly n.

    Best and most authentic Korean food in Fort Worth! It is owned by a father, mother, and daughter who are so kind! They put their heart into their work, and make the extra effort to not change any recipe to keep it authentic! Their sides are amazing and I LOVE their bibimbap, japchae, and soon tofu soup so much! I've been back many times and have always had a great experience! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Definitely one of my favorite places UPDATE: I have now been 6 times since finding it in November...still amazing and will be here many more times!! The owners were so kind and gave us so much fish cakes because we loved it and asked for more! I brought my parents Bc I always rave about this place and they now understand the hype

    Seafood jjigae
    Joonzette N.

    This is my new favorite place! Great food, prices are decent, friendly staff. The jjigae is my favorite and they give plenty of delicious side dishes. I'm always excited to come here while in the area.

    Kimbap
    Mary T.

    Updating my review again since its been a while, just to say its still one of my favorite places for my Korean food cravings in the area. Seafood pancake!!! I can't say it enough. Def choose this over the kimchi pancake! Dine in or do take out, the food is still delicious either way.

    Bon KBBQ is one of my family's favorite spots for Korean barbecue in the Arlington area. Lunch and…read moredinner are all you can eat, so the value is great for the amount of meat you get. The place is always full when we're there, but I haven't encountered a wait for seating yet. The interior is a little more casual than other kbbq places I've been to which makes it good for a less formal meal. The grills can be a little slow, but our servers were attentive and changed out the grill plates often to help with optimal cooking. The buffet offers a good selection of bonchon dishes and some preprepared meat options. Although the preprepared meats are good, they aren't as fresh so I'd highly recommend ordering from the grill menu to get the best quality meats!

    I love this place! But today was horrible!!! The hot food kimchi fried rice, glass noodles, Korean…read morefried chicken were all ice cold. I brought it to my waiter attended she at first was confused but then let me know that the steam table on the food wasn't working. So definitely decided to server cold food verses just have hot food in the back of house keeping the food hot and bringing it when requested. I paid $26 with tip to have an experience not worth the price. I was told when I was leaving not satisfied with my experience that the hot food is now hot I was told by the front desk lady!!! I was already there for an hour waiting. So I got screwed over on the experience. Please do better

    2/13/26 - this is the date in which I had the best fried chicken I had ever had. Before writing…read morethis review, I looked at how other people rated the food here. I'm not sure what their experience what, but I'm going to die on this hill that this is some phenomenal, life-changing chicken. I got takeout. Double flavor wings. Gang-jeong. Perfect balance of sweetness, umami, and heat. The other flavor was chessling. Again, perfect balance; this time, it was between rich cheesiness and a right amount of sweetness as well. I highly recommend both flavors. Now, this is just about the flavor itself. The meat itself was so tender and juicy. In the most appetizing, and hopefully not weird (but inevitably weird) way to describe it, it's almost as if I just caught the chicken with my bare hands and took a bite out of it. However, instead of getting feathers in my mouth, I was met with the most satisfyingly crispy exterior. What was specifically amazing about it was the fact that you could distinctly taste the tender meat on the inside separate from the crispy crunch on the outside. This was one of those meals where once I was done, I was in a complete coma afterwards. I woke up the next day in my bed about an hour or two before I had to get to work. Even though I was in a short vegetative state, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

    The young staff provided decent customer service, though it could have been better, especially…read moresince I was the only customer there at the time. The atmosphere was about what you'd expect from a restaurant near a college campus. The chicken is expensive, so I'd suggest using the app and signing up for emails to get deals. That said, the flavors I chose were delicious, and the chicken itself was very tasty.
