E-2. Bulgogi Beef
Nikki L.

The epitome of a hidden gem. I stopped in with a coworker for a late lunch and I was not disappointed. I had the beef bulgogi plate and he had the udon. I could drink bulgogi sauce and be happy, and the meat was tender and delicious. The egg rolls were also yummy. Definitely give the kimchi a try if you've never had it. It's a little hole in the wall walk-up to order place where the food is the star of the show. The service is also friendly and quick.

This was my favorite place to grab lunch between classes when I was attending UNT. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, the food is delicious traditional Korean dishes, and the staff is very helpful. This is a great spot if you are craving Korean food or wanting something from a great hole-in-the-wall spot.

Bulgogi Chicken
Lysette R.

This visit was even better than the last! The bento box is an excellent way to try multiple things without committing to too much food. This portion was more than enough for me. I got bulgolgi chicken last time and this visit, and this serving was WAY better. You can even see it in the picture. The taste was fantastic- I can't quite explain what bulgolgi tastes like as I don't have it often, but it's very delicious. I wasn't a huge fan of the kimchi. I've had better. The dumplings and tempura fried shrimp had excellent breading. Everything tasted fresh. I got many compliments on good the food smelled at work. Great price for so much food. And the man serving me was very nice! Good came out quick. Need to come here more often.

Well, where do I start! Kinda a fast food restaurant which can be Hit or Miss! Today it was a total MISS! Appetizers were Shrimp Tempura and Fried Dumplings! The Shrimp was good, from there it went down hill! The Dumplings were cold and tough to chew. We ordered two Eagle Boxes; Korean BBQ Rib-lets with White Rice, Shrimp Tempura, Fried Calamari, Fried Dumpling and a mini Yogurt Drink! The other was; Spicy Pork Bulgogi, with White Rice, Shrimp Tempura, Fried Calamari, Fried Dumpling and a mini Yogurt Drink! The Rib-let's were ok, nice amount of meat on the ribs. White Rice is White Rice! The Spicy Pork Bulgogi had a foul smell to it! Also tasted bad! I ate one bite of my dish! I had to cover the plate with my napkin due to the bad smell. I have a photo of my Eagle box of not eaten food! I hope no one has an experience as bad as mine! I wish the the best but I will not be back. So sad! I was really looking forward to eating there. We wanted to order the Kimbap but they were out of it.

I got a bento box and love the variety! It was really yummy and pretty affordable. Service was quick and polite. I dined-in and had a nice time sitting by the window. Glad I stopped here!

We needed to find a place to eat close to the basketball game we were going to so we ended up here at The Taste. It's a tiny place and the seating area could use some upgrades for sure, the lady at the front counter was very nice and helpful. The menu is limited and a bit confusing with this "Eagle Box" option which isn't explained very well so I had to ask the lady what this was and she just said it's a little bit of everything lol, still don't know what it is. Anyway I decided to order the Beef Bulgogi and it was actually pretty good, I wasn't sure what to expect as this was my first experience with Beef Bulgogi . I think of your in the neighborhood looking for some quick and tasty Korean food then this place is a good option.

Nice little mom and pop Korean restaurant across from the North Texas College campus. Food was made fresh, great prices, and the amount of food you received was good for the price. If I was in town I'd come here again.

Bulgogi Chicken Eagle Box

It was ok, probably more tailored to college kids who got tired of the cafeteria food. Paid $6 for what tasted exactly like a bag of Korean Shin ramen with an egg added to it. The pot that the ramen came out with also showed its age. The food in the eagle box was barely enough for an adult, so I would suggest getting the meal instead. Many of the tables are uneven, so don't move them because you'll have to put napkins under the table legs again. The parking could be a pain, I think they only have like 2 or 3 dedicated parking spots. Honestly, if you really want decent Korean food, drive to Carrollton instead.

5/10 giving 3 stars to round up... Location: Not great - in a sketchy little area near UNT. The interior is very small with few parking spaces outside. Staff: The lady at the register was friendly. Food: We ordered a spicy beef bento box, seafood tofu soup, and spicy rice cakes. Tteokbokki wasn't bad! Pretty spicy. A good portion as well. The tofu soup was mediocre. The seafood taste was a bit overpowering, and I can't say I loved the soup base. Beef was a bit tough and dry. Couldn't taste whether it was spicy. The kimchi tasted a bit strange. Like it wasn't quite ready yet. The funniest thing was the added fruit cup. Where in the world did that come from? Overall, mediocre but it could've been worse, considering it was Denton. TLDR - Just go to Carrollton for Korean food.

Delicious Korean food. My personal guilty pleasure is the spicy stir fried rice cakes. I call in orders ahead so I don't end up waiting.

Komodo Loco in Denton is one of those places that just gets the balance right--great food, fun…read morevibe, and something a little different from the usual spots around the Square. The Asian-Latin fusion menu is creative without being weird about it. The sushi rolls are packed with flavor, the ingredients taste fresh, and everything feels thoughtfully put together. It's the kind of place where you go in planning to try one thing and end up wanting to come back to work your way through the menu. The atmosphere is laid-back and lively, perfect for grabbing a casual dinner or drinks with friends. Staff is friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you're in Denton and want something a little more interesting than the standard Tex-Mex lineup.

Food was great, but the service was slower than expected. My husband and I came with two…read morefriends--we were seated right away and ordered drinks quickly. It wasn't very busy at the time, but our drinks still took about ten minutes to arrive. We started with potstickers, which were delicious, and our little one's avocado came out quickly, which we appreciated. However, after placing our order, we noticed several tables seated after us receiving their food before we did. At one point, we were concerned our order may have been overlooked. When the food finally arrived, it was very good--no complaints there--but the wait was a bit disappointing, especially since most of what we ordered were appetizers. Overall, we'd still come back, just hoping for a smoother experience next time.
