"Singing, eating, and drinking always go together at DanSungsa. Soju cocktails pair well with kimchi fries or tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), playfully called Tuckpocky on the menu. Stay even later for a bowl of soup to help tide over the hangover from a late night of singing and drinking. Sing it out at locations in Dallas and Carrollton." - Didi Paterno

I love this place. The private atmosphere, variety of menu including Laos and Thai food. We had delicious spicy papaya salad, bulgogi, galbi, seafood pancake and house made soju lycee so good. I will definitely return.

This is a very lowkey, chill vibe spot that is open extremely late for all the night owls. I'll get straight to the point: the wings come out HOT, and I absolutely love it! They are cooked to a perfect level of crisp and the actual chicken is seasoned well, not just the sauce. The Korean spicy sauce takes a few bites to get used to; I think it's because I was expecting a hint of sweetness that didn't exist. After the second wing, I came to appreciate the flavor. The Kimchi Fries were so good that I cleared my plate before the wings even came out. The service here is okay. They have a service bell on the table, which is convenient. I'd definitely come back for the fries and also to try the other wing flavors.

Love that they have HH, even the weekend and that it includes both food and drinks. Absolute downside to that is not being able to order more than 1 item from the HH entrees per table. Makes it hard ordering when more than 1 person is at the table. I'd rather it not be included in HH and just regular menu (would pay full price) OR more than 1 can be chosen for a different price point or half orders? Not sure. But there must be a way that is profitable and accommodating to both patrons and the business. Food- (ordered at table- by pressing a doorbell) - Fries 3/5. Didn't know two types of fries would be plated together. When I return I know to request just one type of fry. Because although they both don't taste freshly prepared one fry was better than the other. - Bulgolgi 5/5 seasoned well, came out very hot, served with rice. -Fried Dumplings (Ordered by a friend at the table, glad I got to taste one) - Ramen Wouldn't order again, the broth had a good taste but I did not care for the noodles. Service- Greeted and seated immediately when I came in. We had two servers. Both nice and to the point when taking out orders . Food brought out as if it was ready, which is appreciated. They didn't hover at all, we got their attention by ringing the bell. Ambiance- Neat! Didn't look into the place prior to coming and was surprised by the interior. Seating is very dark and intimate in the sense of you're near others but the booths/tables are private. Very laid back and chill spot. Loud music in the background. Graffiti/tagging on the wood in booths. Just a laid back feel. Although I overall enjoyed this dining time, as I was driving in I noticed other restaurants in the area that I'd want to try, so I would return in a group setting if that was chosen, but I wouldn't drive out from Fort Worth just for it.

Huge portions. Single order can easily be split between two people. Feels like a dive bar. If you're ok with K-pop and graffiti, the food is worth the trip.

Melody P.

Yelp
One of our go-to spots for a late night meal or meeting up with friends for soju and bites. Love the chill vibe here.

Kiana G.

Good options even for vegetarians. Perfect late night post club place. Open late. I never get tired of this place. Amazing staff always.

Went in for a late night dinner. They are open till 3am so we were excited to try this place out and we were not disappointed. There is a button you push at the table anytime you want service which is great. The portions are huge. and all the food we ordered was tasty.

Yelp
I never get tired of going here. They offer a variety of options, open late, and it's never that packed unless you go to the carrolton location. I love going here after a night of drinking or just for a wholesome meal. Their black bean noodles were pretty good as well as their pork belly wraps. I have nothing to complain about. Ambiance is dark and there's kpop music playing in the background. Also a good place to eat and drink soju with friends.

Late-night craving satisfied at Dangsungsa! tried their mouthwatering La Gabi, Seafood Kimchi Tofu, and succulent Steam Pork, and they did not disappoint! The La Gabi was nicely done, saucy & crispy Marinated over night, perfectly balanced with a Kimchi seafood tofu, and let's talk about the steam pork....tender, juicy , and oh-so-delicious ! If you're looking for a late night spot, Dangsungsa is definitely a Must -Visit !

Yelp
Eclectic Korean restaurant that definitely looks like it picks up steam as the night goes on. I really wanted to like this place but I didn't. Food missed the mark and it was impossible to find anyone to help us even though there were only two other tables when we walked in. We had the Japchae, Seafood pancake and Bulgogi. We also ordered an LA Galbi but it never came. Food came at random times also.

Yelp
Open late at night and reliable. I ordered the steamed egg (overpriced, but cooked well) and spicy octopus (highlyyy recommend, chewy, good spice levels, and huge portions). The place has a lot of history and it's a little dinky inside but that's what gives it it's character! Usually they don't have many servers but they are pretty quick to bring out your food

Jasmine W.

Yelp
one of my favorite places in dfw ive been here a handful of times and every time is better and better! my favorite item on the menu is the cheese Kimchi Fried Rice with the egg scrambled inside - its spicy but sooooo worth it! the kimchi they use is one of the best ive had, i always get a side to enjoy with my food. plus them bringing the water pitcher to the table and signaling the waiter with a button makes dining super chill! great prices for the portions and quality of food, im planning on the using the half i have left over to cure whatever i wake up with on 01/01/2024 will be back with friends very soon so we can order a few plates to share

DSS is the real deal - awesome vibes, killer Korean cuisine, and a fun late night joint to hangout with friends/family The staff is cool, making you feel like part of the foodie family. Five stars because my taste buds are still thanking me for their super yummy army stew!

This place is one of those hole in the wall places that needs more recognition!! We got there around 10pm and was seated immediately! They have a "doorbell" at your table so you can call for the waiters when you're ready - so cool because they don't have to wait around on your order until you're actually ready! We tried the bulgogi, spicy chicken, and dumplings: all of them were 10/10! It was so good, we ordered seconds!! We also enjoyed their green sake soju and music while eating!!

Stanley W.

Yelp
No idea how this place is rated for what it is. This was the worst Korean food I've had. It is way too pricey for what you get, but it's probably good drunk food late at night. Seafood pancake - really bad. Barely any seafood. Beef Bulgogi - the flavor was there I guess. Pricey Galbi - Decent flavor, but so small. Pricey Tuckpocky - Would've been ok if the rice cakes were good. Fried chicken - this was actually really good and it's probably the only thing I would get to eat with some beer and soju if I had to go here again. Kimchi fried rice - dry and not good. Japchae - disrespectful.

I love DSS. My first time here was in 2018 when I visited Dallas for the first time from CA. Now that I live in Dallas, this is my go to, to celebrate birthdays , bring out of town visitors and late night eats when I'm craving their Tongchip (Chicken gizzards), tuckpocky (rice cake), grilled pork belly, Korean fried chicken, soon tofu soup...well basically everything on the menu. Their flavored soju is also a hit! Definitely don't sleep on DSS..you may be missing out and will definitely regret it!

If the outside of a strip club and the inside of an LA Fitness sauna had a baby while a K-pop band was playing on the radio. That's the vibe Service was good. Only 1 server so he was busy but I don't mind conversation while dinning in. The dumplings= 4/5. A little overcooked Korean fried chicken = fire Kimchi fried rice= it was missing something Chicken bulgogi= 4/5. My only regret is not trying the tuckpocky. 3/5 until I try the tuckpocky.

Found this place on Yelp. This place is open on the late night. Left a bar and finding out this place is open til 4am I think. Nice ambiance inside. We were seating fast. There is plenty on the menu. The food is delicious with good portion. If you ever need to go out to eat on the late night I would suggest you come here.

Chelsea G.

Yelp
From the outside I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this place. I was pleasantly surprised! If you are looking for a new experience, this is a great place to try! The service was good. We went with a party of 10 and our server was quick and on top of things! Tons of drink and food options. Our food was super tasty and surprisingly high end. Vegetarian options with Tofu! Try one of their drinks with soju, you won't regret it!

Krista C.

Yelp
Food was ok, very salty or lacked flavor. The inside was cool kind of dive bar meets overseas bar. Ramen was ok, could have had more flavor. Sesame chicken super salty, pork dumplings were good and nice portion. Kimchi rice was good and nice size portions. The suja watermelon was good does not taste like alchoal and you get the whole bottle.

Went here for a friend's birthday, staff was very accommodating for large group. Food was very good too and a lot of drink options. They have music playing the whole time.

One of my favorite late night hangout or when you want some korean food. Seafood pancake, LA Galbi, and gizzards are my favorite.

Happy HOUR 6-9 PM Daily!!!!!!! Dansungsa is my favorite place to spend happy hour! If you want good food and drinks this is the place to be. Staff is super nice (press the button for service.) Environment is comfortable and relaxing. Kitchen is open up until 4 AM on the weekends, and 2 AM on weekdays. So it's a great place for a late night snack. If you haven't tried it yet I would!

Yelp
We were the first customers here on a Thurs night (should've been a sign). The waiter opened my beer with his phone...never seen that before lol. The ramen tasted like straight out of Maruchan bag, the broth was spicy but they weren't made together. The La Galbi was flavorless and tough...glad we didn't pay $24.99! Ordered the wings as Korean Spicy. They were fried, unseasoned and then had sauce thrown over them. None of the stuff we ordered was cooked with seasonings or sauces, just thrown together. We couldn't even enjoy a conversation because more people came in and there was a guy drilling through a wall in the same area! I would think owner would chose to remodel during non-business hours.

Tasty Korean food, stays open late with old school vibes inside. We had great service and will be back.

Such a cute cute Korean pub. This spot would be great to go with friends if you are trying to have a good time and drink. The food is mediocre. Not bad but not amazing either. Kimchi fries, I would ask for the ketchup to be on the side. I think too much was drizzled on top. We also ordered the chicken stir fry rice cake with cheese. WARNING THIS DISH IS HUGE! Will feed at least 5 people in my opinion! And then we ordered the salad with the house asian dressing. This was my favorite in my opinion lol go to a pub to order salad. I'll take it! :) Service wise is friendly. If you need anything, you just click the button and they will come to ur needs!

Korean pub-style, family-style, late night hours, and HAPPY HOUR EVERYDAY! Need I say more? DanSungSa is a classic, with a karaoke location in Carrolton and casual dining spot in Dallas. Both locations are open until 2 AM which makes it the perfect late night food outing with friends. Service can be a little slow sometimes, but it's okay because this is a kind of place to pass time with good company!

This place had VIBES!!! I loved the K-Pop blasting through this place! Strong hip hop vibes with some Korean flavor! The walls are encouraged to be written on and there were just so much to be seen in every square inch of this place. There food was good, although I was a little sad because I was expecting Korean BBQ, but I don't think this place does the BBQ portion. We still got some good food though! I can't even remember everything I got, but I know I enjoyed it all even for being a picky eater. We got some chicken that was really good, beef bulgogi, a seafood pancake, potstickers and noodles and the only thing I was iffy about was the pancake. It was okay, but like I said, I'm picky so it was just a little out of my norm. Again, would love to come back to this place for the vibes alone, it just felt like a good place to be amongst friends for a night of good food and great times.

my first 1 star review goes to this place. im not sure why this place has the reviews that it has. we had a terrible experience. the service was poor and the food was even worse. we only came here since it was one of the few spots that was open past midnight. to start off the waitress did not give us utensils or enough water. that was not the only issue our group experienced. we ordered the spicy tofu soup and it was the worst tofu soup that we've ever had. it was extremely bland and not spicy at all despite it being a spicy dish. we literally had to ask for salt on the side. we also ordered the kimchi fried rice and when it came out there was no cheese even though the menu and pictures clearly showed it w cheese. when we told the waitress she told us that she doesn't think the dish came with cheese and asked us if we still wanted cheese. she took the plate back and came out 20 mins later with the fried rice after most of us had finished our meals. the fried rice and cheese was cold and unappetizing. our other friend ordered the bulgogi which was $18. for the price and amt of meat it came with it, it was not worth it at all. the only decent thing we ordered was the fish cake soup. when it was time to pay the bill we had to approach the front/cashier since we were unsure on how to pay. we had to remind the cashier on what we ordered since they didn't remember. they also charged us 20% auto gratuity which was we felt was undeserved. when we spoke to the manager ab our concerns she brushed it off and seemed uninterested. she offered a discount for our next visit but we have no plans on returning. now we know why it was empty and dead inside :D ig: @whatsviveating

mmmmmm mmmm mmmm i love this place. The food here in incredible. late night hours make this place an EASY choice when we are hungry. We are ppl that eat super late and this place hits the spot. everything we have had here has been very generously portioned and tasty. I've never had a bad dish here. try everything. EVerything is good. Be careful tho. it is a bar set up, so it's a bit noisy. one night we came in and there was a lady that sat behind us on the phone the whole time facetiming and talking very loudly about her sexual escapades for over an hour. some ppl be nasty. lol

Yelp
Great spot for happy hour meal deals! The drinks options are so so. But they got some dishes for about $5 each. And la galbi for half off. It doesn't come with rice and I asked for some bonchan. I liked the seafood pancake, but my bf didn't like it that much. A bit fishy. The disappointment was the Bulgogi quesadilla. It was so lacking , thin and flavorless. It came with ranch and sriracha dip. Not a reorder. But def would come back here for a quick dinner! We still want to try a couple of diff dishes. The menu they have are the QR codes. One for the happy hour menu. And another for the regular menu. I tried looking at the regular menu, but it's a link to their Uber eats. And I didn't want to scroll one by one item to see what's on the dinner menu. So I gave up. Idk why there's not a regular pdf file for the regular menu.

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Food was terribly over priced and service was poor. Out of a party of 5, 3 of us had to send our food back and when it came back 20 minutes later it looked like they just stuck it in the microwave. I got the soft tofu soup and I'm pretty sure I got food poisoning from it. Overall, terrible experience. If you're looking for good Korean food this place is not the place to go. Seems like a fun place to come and drink with your friends, maybe your food might taste better... doubtful though.

Sunny is a wonderful server and a great hire. I came in and she told me that she is only a couple of months into serving here! The food and night life is good which is why I come here still. But Sunny has created a regular out of me and I will only ask for her as long as she is working because of the care and time she puts into making her drinks and providing friendly service. My wife and I had a very good time. She is a funny server and that is much needed. Her drinks are better than the cups of syrup we usually get. She really knows how to make drinks and have a fun time. SHE EVEN OFFERED US TO PLAY BOARD GAMES. Since she saw that we were on a date. Which I have never been asked that before. I will bring more friends. She is very considerate. 10/10 for this server.

The vibes are great. You get the whole pitcher of water so no need to bother the staff or them you. The food and drinks are delicious and very affordable. Definitely coming back here more than once

Went at night to get some drinks w friends and it was so understaffed and the photos online are so outdated. Its not the worker's issue but u should probably staff more at nights

Cat L.

Went here w a group of 8. The meat portions were good. Friends recommend the corns. I really like the grill meat, albeit on the small size but yummy. I've never been to Korea for street food so I can't do a good comparison but the seasoning was good, meat were fresh, we'll be back

Found this place on Yelp and what a find. It's looks like nothing from the outside and inside don't expect fancy but it is very clean. That said the food will blow you away. Drinks strong and reasonable. The food portions are enormous I got the single order and it would have feed 2 for sure. The Fire chicken is hot, if you love spicy a must try!! Beat hot dish I have had in long time and full of flavor. Service is quick and fast and you just ring a door bell when you need someone. Definitely worth it

Andrea B.

Yelp
The service was miserable. The place is decent, the food is good. There's a couple of things in the menu a little bit too expensive but It's okey. The waitress was extremely rude for no reason, didn't bring enough silverware or water, never showed to the table and when I mentioned something about my plate she take it from my hands and never came back or suggest anything else. I left without eating. We were all very surprise in the table... I've never had a worse service in my life.

Best hole in the wall ! Delicious Korean food , and so reasonably priced ! They have a bell system where if you need something you just click a button so the service is pretty easy ! Food is unreal !

The Beef Bulgogi and the Fried Chicken is amazing. Love the seating as well. The portions are generous and the food is addictive.

Ravi L.

Yelp
Food was bad and expensive. I don't know how a Korean place has such atrocious tofu soup. They forgot to put cheese on a dish that came with cheese and took 30 minutes to put cheese on and we were done with our meal by the time it came out and still made us pay. Ridiculous establishment please never come here. I had to ask for salt because the tofu soup was so bland and still was only able to eat half my food when the last meal I ate was 12 hours ago I actually had to force myself to eat this. My stomach hurts like shit rn i shouldn't have ate it. They also made us pay 20% tip for some pretty bad service.

Awesome place!! GREAT food and the atmosphere is great. Wooden tables and booths, great for bday celebrations and a few Soju's to top it off

The beef bulgogi was really good! As well as the soju . The environment was pretty. Hipster. And the service was was

Crystal B.

Yelp
Amazing service, no one disturbed us. Amazing hours until 2 am?!. You press a button and you get service RIGHT away. $5 ramen??? Delicious! A little bit spicy but the orange chicken made it less spicy. Definitely a must go! Perfect spice on the orange chicken. The chapaguri needed a bit more spice loving but it was good. This place is a hole in the wall. You must try it at least once! They also have cute mats on the seats so u don't hurt your butt! Will be back again 10/10

Savanah R.

Yelp
I've been coming to this place for a while now! The fact that it's BYOB has me sideways already as it is. However the food is great and the atmosphere is welcome mean. Be prepared to wait some time though for service it's kind of a maze in there and I could imagine that the waiters and get weeded at times. I personally didn't like the Ramen because it was a little flavorless and the broth just wasn't my thing. But the Korean fried chicken was decent and their kimchi is great and I love kimchi.

Yolanda R.

Yelp
Came with friends and was highly disappointed. We ordered chapaguri because the waitress insisted there was no spice. We got it at the table and you could literally see the spice in the sauce. You know how sauce gets that redish color and your nostrils can smell it. We all tried it and our lips were burning. She insisted it wasn't even when we kept telling her. She seemed to get mad, roll her eyes, took the food and never came back. No more water.didnt offer another dosh,dish, nothing. So rude. The other food was alright, the dumplings were actually really good. She just made the experience icky. Never going back.

Garrett W.

Yelp
Everyone ! Watch out ! They have a bait and switch plan going on ! After you order they tell you their credit card machine is not working and you have to only pay by cash or Venmo or cash app ! Plus they charge a 18% service fee on the total of your bill because of their problem.!! Stay clear ! They use to have square and I think they can't afford the account any more !
