Iconic Dallas Korean Barbecue Restaurant Koryo Kalbi Reopens - Eater Dallas
"Koryo Kalbi, the longtime Korean barbecue restaurant that closed its doors at some point during the pandemic, is making a comeback. The restaurant quietly kicked open the doors at 2560 Royal Lane, Suite 105, last week. The restaurant had been closed since at least the summer of 2020. Now, though, the restaurant is operating under new ownership and bringing back the same menu of charcoal-grilled meats, soups, and other classic Korean dishes that made Koryo Kalbi a Koreatown institution. “Our menu is pretty much the same as before, the same chefs and aunties making the same recipes,” Koryo’s new owners told an Eater reporter. “[We] renovated the interior and raised the bar on beef quality because we have access to our own warehouse that distributes meat.” In addition to Korean barbecue favorites like kalbi, more exciting new eats are in the works. Diners will soon be able to feast on live eel grilled over charcoal, soy-marinated blue crabs (ganjang gejang) and Prime meats that will be dry-aged at the restaurant. Top-quality Japanese beef will also, eventually, be on the menu. Right now, Koryo Kalbi is in a “soft-opening” phase, and is currently offering limited seating. The restaurant is currently operating from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 10 a.m. to midnight on Friday and Saturday." - Amy McCarthy
