I had such a great experience at ZZIM. The Korean seafood pancake completely stole the show. It was huge, definitely enough for two people, and so crispy and flavorful. We even had leftovers to take home which I honestly loved because it was that good. The bulgogi was perfectly cooked and seasoned really well. I especially appreciated that it was not overly sweet like most bulgogi tends to be. It tasted balanced and authentic. We also tried the spicy cold noodle and wow, so refreshing with the perfect kick. Everything we ordered was on point and I would definitely come back. Highly recommend if you are craving quality Korean food!! Love the korean food scene in dallas sm read more

Came here the first time and I like this spot. The vibe is very relaxed and decor makes you feel like you are in Korea. Their service is amazing. They are very attentive to your needs and bring out food pretty fast once you ordered. Truly an Asian speed restaurant I like the small platter of variety pancake. They taste great with spicy flavored green onion and the sauce. Their pork belly and the soup is good flavor. I highly recommend this spot to anyone who wants comfort Korean food, esp late at night. It is one of the few places that open later and I am glad to have dined here after I have landed in Dallas. read more

both the kimchis, radish and cabbage, tasted like it had gone bad, making me wonder how the food is stored and how fresh it is. the soft tofu soup comes boiling hot, so i would recommend putting the tofu on a separate plate to cool for a little bit because it will burn you if you're not careful. i got extra spice in mine, but next time i would ask for it on the side and add in the spice to my liking. the tofu was very soft and flavorful and the meat was cooked well. the rice was also cooked perfectly, pairing with the soup. the cold noodles have to be cut so that they are easier to eat. the noodles are very thin, which could be good if you're wanting a meal that's not heavy. the fried dumplings are very good with amazingly crisp edges. the sauce perfectly balances out the flavors. our food came out in less than five minutes after ordering. however, i would say they rely a lot on the call button since that is the only time they will check up on you. the interior is very small, which would not be good for a big group of people looking to eat here. read more

I love trying new Korean places so I decided to stop in on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't too busy they have plenty of tables open and they were very fast with the service. The place is a very casual à la carte Korean place not kbbq with the grill. We ordered and maybe 5-10 min later we had the food out and everything looked and tasted very fresh! I didn't get to try any of the pancakes they specialize in but I hope to come back and try them! read more

Zzizim - Soft tofu soup, spicy chicken, grilled pork belly, spicy beef soup - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Nice place for a sit down lunch. Quaint little restaurant near H Mart. Friendly service and a really good meal at a reasonable price.

We had a craving for their seafood pancake, to my disappointment, it was really thin and not much seafood, but tons of green onions! We also had the fried mozzarella sticks, gyoza and a beef with tofu!My favorite was the beef & soft tofu stew, the tofu was very silky and had a lot of flavor, enough for two people! The mozzarella sticks were very cheesy and hot! There's a bell for you to ring if you need service, which is very convenient. The ban chans were good too! They had 7 different types and it's unlimited! read more

Still great! We love having a place we can come to on a busy weekend. Luckily they accept reservations so I'm glad we were able to get one. I loved chatting with my friend and catching up in the separate room. The service is a push to call button. The women's bathroom seems to be updated from the last time or I can't remember, but it was very clean and a little fancy. New looking countertop and had a little freshening up area with some complimentary pads and mouthwash. There's also a baby changing station if needed. Food is great as I'm still glad I found a place as consistent as this. My favorite dish would have to be the marinated grilled pork. Fried dumplings were great as well. We will always order the deep fried braised chicken. We got the Kimchi stew as usual but barely touched it this time just cause we were so full from the other items. We got the fluffiest steamed egg ever. I love that I can bring people here without disappointment. Keep up the good work! read more

Highly rated Korean food in Carrollton - so we had to go try it! Was a bit disappointed. Ordered the Small Assorted Pancakes and Short Ribs. The short ribs were okay. Meat was very soft and didn't have that nice chard taste to it. The variety pancakes were lacking. We only enjoyed the pork belly, fish, and crabmeat. Everything else was a miss. read more

Had good reviews so had to give it a shot. Portion size for LA Galbi was very small and did not have much char. We got equivalent of less than two normal strips (5 bones with not a great amount of meat) with the combo. The fried chicken size was decent and flavorful. The beef pancake that we also got was just OK. Also beware that they charge for extra bowl of rice. Banchan was very limited and not very good. Service was decent and friendly. Overall, probably would not go back since there are so many good places in the area. read more

A group of 6 of us when to dinner here on a Saturday evening and got an assortment of items. One of our group member had a fish allergy and the staff was very helpful in accommodating and helping with suggestions for what to get off the menu. None of us were big fans of the pancakes (we got the small assorted pancakes) but the main dishes were delicious! We particularly loved the short rib and the marinated pork! While the main dishes were delicious, we all agreed that for this price point we would rather enjoy some KBBQ instead since we weren't big fans of the pancakes. We would probably be more inclined to try another spot in the area next time! read more

Wow! Reminds us of Korean food in LA. Probably the best we've had in Carrollton/DFW for sure! Seafood pancake was huge and delish! I had seafood soondubu and my wife had jjampang spicy seafood noodles. So good! Everything had great flavor! New fave spot! read more

A hidden gem! I came here because it was open pretty late and my mom and I were craving Korean food. Service was quick, and the interior was comfortable and clean. We ordered a seafood green onion pancake and two beef tofu soups. Lemme tell you.. that this was the best seafood pancake I've ever had. I usually don't care for it much but my mom loves it so we got it. The pancake was huge and thinly battered so it was extra crispy, and it had so much green onion in it! The seafood in it tasted fresh as well. The sauce that it comes with is also delicious. Our tofu soup was also really good, and the perfect spice level for me! You can also adjust the spice level to your liking when you order. For the sides, they were pretty good but I wish it came with normal kimchi as well, but not a big deal. You MUST come try their seafood green onion pancake, it changed my life!! read more

This is hands down the best Korean seafood pancake in DFW. True to their name, the pancakes are exceptional--thin, crispy, and not too doughy, which sets them apart. The green onions are whole, fresh, and add great flavor. While their other dishes are solid, the seafood pancake is definitely the highlight and worth coming back for. The service is attentive, and they offer private rooms for larger groups, which is a nice touch for bigger parties read more

Aggujjim ugghhh so good!!! Great portion for a family gatherings. Sometimes their fish can be little not fully seasoned.

Spicy stir fried squid and soondubu! (Also had a pancake of which that I forgot to take a picture) All the dishes we tried were solid. The service is quick and staff was very kind and friendly. Carrollton has a huge selection of authentic places. Some of them are very loud and busy. This one has such a cozy feel inside (we sat at a booth) an is a bit more quiet an intimate - altogether a great place to catch up with a friend over some good food. read more

As a Kansas Boy, I'm a real sucker for some good Korean/Chinese food, and ZziZim had some good choices. Though I only ordered jjambbong, I would come back again because of how flavorful the soup was. I don't when ill come back, but I hope to try the steamed monk fish and plenty of other items. Service was great! Quick, no delays, and very courteous. Ambiance was chill. The wall art was good with a little touch of Louis Vuitton and Nike. read more

Zzizim - Spicy Seafood Thick Noodle Soup (짬뽕칼국수) - Korean Near Me - Carrollton, Texas

Found this place accidentally when we were around the area. It's definitely a good one to keep. Everything we tried was good. Today I came back with a friend. Yeah just 2 of us. We ordered: seafood green onion pancake LA Galbi Marinated and Grilled Pork Fishcake soup Everything, again it was delicious. The seafood green onion pancake, thin, crispy edges flavorful and the green onion eventho it looks scary long was not overpowering. Had a wonderful flavor actually probably because it was roasted before added to the pancake. It has a sweetness of the green onion coming through but very subtle. LA galbi is my friend's fave and she always order that. The Marinated pork reminded me of our Indonesian sweet pork satay without the coriander. It was plentiful! Very good portion. They serve this green onion kimchi that at first I thought it was seaweed. It's shredded green onion. It has a wonderful taste, light and refreshing. I am amazed by how they turn these green onion. The Fishcake soup brought me back to my childhood era. Remind me of the fishball soup my mom made. So homey.. very simple yet so delicious. Give this place a try if you have not. Highly recommended. read more

I've passed by Zzizim several times in the past and it finally decided to give it a shot recently. Around lunch time it was a quiet, galley style restaurant that offered really good local neighborhood vibes. Service was very good and I never found myself waiting for long so I had a really good first impression. I ended up ordering way too much but did find the value per dish to be alright though. I got the beef pancakes (8 piece ~$15) and dumplings (8 piece ~$9). Overall the food was pretty decent, though I think the spread I ordered ultimately could have used a bit more flavor outside the spicy dipping sauce. Since both of my dishes had it, it kind of lead a lack of distinct flavors between the 2 very different things I ordered. It seems like they offer lunch options that I somehow missed while prioritizing the pancakes that might have been a better introduction for me. I think there is a lot of like about zzizim but I don't think my experience quite lived up to its potential. Something tells me this place is worth another look so I think I'll end up giving it another shot at some point. Likely just shy of a 3.5 for this experience thus the 3 rating but I could easily see this as 4 ordering something a bit more tuned to my flavor palette. read more

Incredible spot. I was CRAVING kimchi jjigae or anything that could come close to it but my kimchi wasn't ripe enough to make a solid stew. Had to go out to a Korean restaurant that had white boy options for my bf (see: deep fried food). I asked for the kimchi stew to be extra spicy and that was the perfect heat level for me (though I do like a little more pain usually). It was so savory and rich and warm - ultimate comfort food. I added some of the grilled pork belly to my stew as well. It was perfectly cooked and just barely seasoned (I mean that in a good way; they're not hiding the natural flavor). Bf seemed pretty happy with his food and it was a huge portion! We really liked the decor. Traditional looking paintings studded with designer brands lol! It was pretty funny. There are also apparently private dining rooms for families and parties (from what it looked like). I liked the buzzer system. We only needed to ping a server twice - once to place our order, next to get the check. They paid attention to our water for us! I wish I'd gotten this sweet woman's name who mainly helped us. I want to say it was Eunice but I can't be sure. Whoever she is was wonderful and made our visit memorable just by being such a sweetheart. read more

My husband and I shared the small assorted pancake appetizer. It had a good variety and still a lot of food..probably could feed 4 for everyone to try a piece and still have room to eat other items. However the pancakes were more on the soggy side like it was cooked ahead of time and just sat under a heating lamp all day. It would be good if it had a little crunch to it. The green onion salad that comes with it does add some texture and flavor. As far as sides goes, they do not automatically give you kimchi, which I thought was odd since it is a pretty common side dish. You'll have to specifically ask for it. (I know they didn't just forget to give it to us, because the table next to us experienced the same thing). Service was good, environment was clean. It's a small space so if you plan to come with a bigger party, I suggest call ahead. I don't hate the food here, it's not terrible! I'm just not rushing to come back..maybe one day. Good to give it a try at least once! read more

Zzizim is a hidden gem in Carrollton's K-Town! This might be one of the best places to go for authentic Korean food. The spicy stir-fried pork was so delicious and not too spicy, and the assorted pancakes were delicious! Be warned, go with a large group if you order the assorted pancakes because it's quite a lot of food. Next time I would love to try one of their signature pancakes. Korean pancakes are this restaurant's specialty, and I highly recommend trying it out! read more

FOOD - Spicy Seafood Soup - it was very spicy and well seasoned. Not too salty which is great. Very flavorful and came out super hot which adds extra points to the dish overall. - Grilled Pork Belly - This dish was grilled pork belly on top of onions. It came out sizzling and maintained heat for a long time. I liked that it wasn't heavily seasoned in any sort of way. This helped the natural flavors of the pork come out. The pork was also thinly sliced which gave a good grilled flavor all throughout. As the onions were cooked, they became sweeter which added to the dish. - Spicy Stir Fried Squid - This dish was definitely spicy after a couple bites and it was so good. There was plenty of squid throughout the dish. The combination of the squid with the onions and green onions also made the dish very sweet-savory. Very yummy and hits super hard with rice. - Seafood Green Onion Pancake - When they say that their pancakes are the best in town. I believe it. It's very thin, crispy, large, and yummy. All the ingredients are fresh and cooked well. The seafood is generous in size also. Very good flavors and very well seasoned. Overall, the food is phenomenal. Probably one of my favorite Korean restaurants around the area. I would definitely come back and bring my friends. So yummy and highly recommended. VIBES Very nice, warm, family atmosphere vibes. Lots of families were there and there are tables, chairs, wooden booth style and some dividers between tables too which give a sense of privacy. The tables were a little on the sticky side but other than that everything was clean, bright, and very welcoming vibes. SERVICE Service was phenomenal. Our waitress was Esther and she was really sweet, friendly, and attentive to our needs (got us water when we were out and also offered to refill the side dishes promptly). All our food came out very fast and was piping hot. She also gave us some sodas on the house to welcome us for our first visit at Zzizim. Overall just a very pleasant experience and staff is all very nice. read more

Such a fun place! We stumbled into this little gem after deciding not to go to a restaurant very close by that we had read reviews on. I'm glad we did. First, it's authentic, as authentic as I having never been to Korea yet can vouch for. I've been to numerous Korean restaurants though and this one was great. From the beer and wine (more in a minute) to the usual water jug, the place just feels good, the perfect casual ambiance. I ordered a Korean wine called Kook Soon Dang. So cute, it comes in a plastic bottle that I would've mistaken for soda and looks like milk. Our cute server shook that bottle like it was going to explode and served it with two tin bowls that look like kitty water bowls. At first, I thought he was pulling my leg. Per him, the workers would drink from the bowls out in the field. I loved the story. But, THE FOOD! Delicious Seafood and green onion pancake was massive, but Hubs did a good job making it disappear. I had the Grilled Pork belly which was delicious but a little tough. All of those little side dishes and the freshest kimchi. We will be back and often. read more

Very friendly servers who don't speak a lot of English. We tried the pancake platter, between my husband, and I we shared a small, which was still a huge portion of food. We also got some fried dumplings on the side. The dipping sauce they provide is a little tart and, savory with chili pepper in it, absolutely compliments the fried foods. I dipped everything in the sauce and it was SO yum! The banchan was ok, but since the start of the show was the fried pancakes, it's ok. The kimchi radish was really ripe, at least on the day we visited, so might be an acquired taste if you're not familiar with Korean food. I would come back! read more

My new favorite Korean restaurant. Every single dish was absolutely mouthwatering and flavorful in my mouth. The pancakes were so good. My favorite was the cheese potato pancake. The spicy snail salad so refreshing. The spicy pork belly? AMAZING. The marinade has a balance of sweet, salty, and spicy. I would come back here a thousand times. I'd come here just to eat by myself because it's that freaking good. This place does get packed so I'd recommend coming on a weekday. Great for gatherings or a casual date night. read more
