Kimchi Stylish Korean Kitchen

After shopping at Hmart, I stopped by for a late lunch after seeing the lunch special sign. I didn't know anything about the restaurant, but I was pleasantly surprised by the interior vibe and especially the food. I ordered the chicken to go special and it was soooooo good. The portion size was very generous and the food tasted great too. The food did take a little longer than expected, but that's probably because they were cooking freshly from scratch, so it was worth the wait. The young lady working at the front was very friendly. They also have a small patio where you could eat outside. Overall, it was a great value, and I would go again.

Let me start out by saying that the only thing better than their dumplings is their amazing service! Our waitress was spectacular and made our experience there extra enjoyable. We couldn't get enough of their delicious food! We can't wait to come back here again. Keep up the great work y'all ❤ #bestdumplingsever

Tasty food. Some of the dishes are a great value - bang for your buck. The spicy pork speciality dish was full of meat. The pork belly dish was very tasty. Lots of seating, modern, clean establishment. The bulgogi dish with noodles (not pictured) was actually surprisingly spicy.

Amazing food my wife and I ordered mayu ramyeon, vegetables croquettes, and fire chicken (which is very hot and delicious if you like spicy foods). Everything was so fresh and delicious. I am definitely going to go back and throw the rest of the food.

Wow! It was my birthday. My daughter offered me a dinner. So we went into the this place! The food was delicious. And nice hospitality with a friendly smile. He offered me a seaweed soup, which is Korean birthday tradition. My birthday was so happy!

Fast food at restaurant prices but worth it! Customer service was beyond belief and maybe we were just lucky. The beef steak and mushroom rice is going to blow your expectations as it did mine. Steak was tender and mushrooms went perfectly with this dish. Another dish, Beef Bulgogi Rice is the best when compared to Korean fast food. This place will be compared to Chasu Kitchen and I must say this place wins hands down! There is no after taste, only a satisfied belly!

We decided to get some groceries at H-Mart, but first Korean Food for dinner!! I LOVED IT! I'm all about that Bohae which is a black raspberry wine. (I picked some up at H-Mart to take home too! Haha.) I asked the restaurant about 5000 questions about what to order, and they had the best suggestions. The waitresses were so sweet and helpful. Made the experience! If anyone is going to the Carrollton area, go to the Kimchi Stylish Korean Kitchen before you explore H-Mart! This is what you should get: Fried Mandoo-Beef Dumpling 🥟 Fire Chicken and white rice with Korean potato salad. **This was my favorite! Spicy BBQ flavor (like the grill, not the sweet American BBQ flavor ** Kimchi Fried Rice with cheese and fried egg. And I believe JP got the Playground Craft IPA Korean beer, which has a light fruity/floral taste. He approved… but I can't comment much since I am not a beer drinker.

Stopped in for the first time and it was a great choice to do so. Had an assortment of items to share with the family and they were all great. Tried the Kimchi Tofu Bibim Bab and the Spicy Pork Bibim Bab, both amazing, liked the pork just a tad better. Then the spicy Pork Belly from the specialty menu, that was amazing!!! So many more options that I want to go back and try.

Food has always been excellent. Persistent taste and no intermittent changes on each different days Impecable service. Fed with love and care.

If you like rice porridge/congee/juk, look no further. This is the only place in DFW that specializes in Korean rice porridge. It's a big chain from Korea too. The restaurant itself is very small and intimate, and there was only one employee running the whole place when my friends and I came. We ordered seafood mix, spicy octopus, and non-spicy octopus juk and beef bulgogi hot pot. The juk had a nice texture of porridge and the little side dishes that come with them complimented it very well. The spicy octopus wasn't as spicy as I was hoping it to be, but it was still pleasant. The seafood mix juk had significantly more seafood flavor than the three of the juks we ordered, so I highly recommend that one if you are not used to eating mild food like juk. The hotpot beef bulgogi which was basically a hot stone bibimbap was surprisingly pleasant for a restaurant that does not specialize in it. It had ample amount of meat and vegetables along with side of gochujang and specially seasoned soy sauce which actually paired very well with juk as well. Overall juk is juk and is a dish not known to be bursting with flavor, but rather mild and easy for your stomach, making it a perfect meal for breakfast or when you're sick. Don't expect to be served heavily seasoned food and you will enjoy it.

Delicious porridge for any time of day and season! The pumpkin porridge (hobak juk) was amazing!!

One of my favorite eats when in town. Such a small, authentic Korean porridge shop. Their menu consists of majority of the common types of Korean juk. My favorites are abalone juk and the tendon juk. Service is always friendly, they take a little longer to bring your food out. But it's understandable since porridge takes a little more time to prepare. The quality is always consistent.

Their abalone was good, wasn't as good as in Jeju, but it did very well and reminded me of being in Jeju :) their hot stone bibimpap was veryyyy delicious!!! I would recommend it 1000% the staff was very welcoming and very friendly.

I was excited to try Charm Juk because I never had Korean congee, and Charm Juk did not disappoint. I grew up on Chinese congee, so it's one of my favorite comfort food. We tried the spicy octopus and beef juk. Each came at a large bowl with small side dishes on a try. Good flavors and making this a great option for a cold day to have a large warm bowl of congee. Minor preference thing, my spicy octopus juk, while tasted really good, was overloaded with bean sprouts. Some may prefer it, but I felt like every bite is filled with sprouts and sometimes, I just want a nice mouth full of flavored rice.

Excellent service and the kimchi oyster juk was amazing. Place is small, and it was pretty quiet but did not have to wait for seating.

I love rice porridge especially when I'm feeling under the weather. I always get the vegetable juk and it's very feeling and great! Totally recommend when it's cold outside or when you're feeling unwell!!

The abalone juk here is THE BOMB SO GOOD!!! I could eat this porridge everyday, delicious! Service is super friendly and pretty fast to receive food too. The side dishes included are also tasty. Highly recommend !!!! Cozy small restaurant, very good

One of my favorite comfort food offerings in the DFW area! Every time a gluten-free/celiac friend of mine is in the area we try to hit up Charm Juk because they offer delicious and generously portioned rice porridges that she can actually eat. My go-to is the abalone juk, which is has a delightful seafood flavor and comes with sides of marinated mushrooms, bean sprouts, and some finely chopped gochujang pickles. I've also enjoyed the oyster juk, the fresh fish juk, and the mixed seafood juk. My friend always gets the chicken juk and loves it. Most recently, my husband and I also tried their beef patty, and it was pretty delightful. Piping hot porridge is perfect cold weather or getting-over-an-illness food. It also manages to retain heat amazingly well. I once ordered the juk to-go, did some shopping at the H-Mart next door, and got home about an hour and a half after picking up the food to find that the porridge was still a great temperature to eat, no reheating necessary. Can't wait for the next time I come back!

We recently visited this porridge place for the first time and I have to say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. It feels cozy and homier even we know it's a restaurant. The menu was equally impressive. There were so many delicious-sounding porridge and bulgogi plate that we had a hard time deciding what to order. In the end, we went with the chicken porridge and beef bulgogi, and we have to say, it was one of the best meals we've had in a long time. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the presentation was neat. The service was also top-notch. Our server was attentive and friendly without being overbearing, and our drinks were always refilled promptly. If you're looking for a warm comfy food experience with exceptional food and service, this is the place to go. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

I was looking for Cambodian rice porridge to settle my stomach issues but found this instead. It's an okay spot, I feel like some might not care for it but it's worth a try. It really fills you up.

I looove this place! I took my family here the other day for the first time and we were all happy with the food! I ordered the seafood combination congee and everything tasted so fresh! Lots of seafood were included! It also came with 3 side dishes. I highly recommend this place and cannot wait to go back! Two thumbs up from me! :)

Tip: Call the restaurant if ordering to-go because it's actually cheaper this way. This is my go to place when I'm not feeling good. All the Juk flavors are good but my favorite is always the chicken. Plus the portions are HUGE. It takes me 2+ days to finish everything. For those who aren't Korean, Juk is essentially the Korean version of Vietnamese/Chinese Congee. I highly recommend ordering when you need to have a good pick me up.

If you are looking for Charm Juk it is located on the right side of H Mart; literally tucked in. It's a small shop with tasty and comforting plates and friendly staff. This is a great spot for someone who wants to try juk with their different varieties. I got the chicken juk and really enjoyed it with the Bonchan on the side.

I hope this place stays open forever! Where else can you get tummy warming, feel good, comfort food? It's Korean porridge and my favorite is the chicken flavor. It's been so long since I've been I have to go back soon and post pics this time

We love this place!!! The rice porridge is some of my and my kids' favorite! Everything tastes so fresh. The owner had cancer and started this place to ensure healthy eating for everyone. The service is excellent. It's a small place so it feels intimate. Super clean. Super kid friendly. We loved it here and the porridges were large and delicious!

Temp is dropping so we wanted something warm! I haven't had Juk since I was in Korea 20+ years ago and was excited to see a local Juk Joint I loved my dish and the bonchan, the mushroom bonchan was really tasty! Also I really appreciate places with good water! Can def tell the water they serve isn't tap, might be kangen or another alkaline water which makes the meal that much better! Cute place next to Hmart!!! Stop by for something cozy & warm!

We found this spot through Mike Chan. Korean juk is basically the same thing as Chinese congee. It is a hearty bowl of rice porridge with meat and various Korean side dishes that you can add into your juk to add texture and flavor to it. We ordered the abalone juk and the deluxe seafood juk. Both juks were huge. It can be shared if you want to try different juks. You can split it into roughly 3 medium bowls or 2 large bowls. The bowls being the ones they gave on the side. The sides were sliced mushrooms, bean sprouts and kimchi. The sides gave the juk more texture. It makes a heart meal.

Literally still thinking about this juk like a month later :)) A great meal especially when it's a little cold out or if you're feeling under the weather. The chicken juk came as a huge portion (I ate it for many meals after). The juk itself can be a little bland, but add toppings if you're craving something spicier - the mushroom bonchan and kimchi were great. Will definitely return!!

This place is so good that we literally drive 4h from Houston to Dallas just to eat it! I believe they have the best porridge/congee, even better than my mom's porridge!

I'm so glad this place stood the test of time and is still in operation. Whenever I don't feel well, this is where I pick up Juk. When my friend's father in law (Asian) was hospitalized, they did take outs regularly. My go-to is the oyster and mushrooms.

I was so disappointed in their juk. I don't understand how they have such high rating. The food was very bland. was mostly rice and very little of other ingredients in their juk. I should have known better when there wasn't any other customer in the restaurant the whole time we were there except for one togo order.

I have tried a couple of different juk from this hidden gem, and they were always excellent. I had really excellent juk from Korea before and this place helps me reminisce the flavor from my mother country. The service is great and friendly, and they pack well for the togo foods. It's def a comfort food for the cooler days and it's well worth a visit when you feel under the weather. This place has been my PMS cure lol.

This is definitely a hidden gem! My Juk was so delicious and flavorful! The service was great and the cafe was quaint and perfect. Now I know about this place I definitely will be visiting again

On a day for keeping warm. A day for hot drinks, soups, hoodies and TV. I chose rice porridge, hot pot rice, bulgogi & a bento box at Charm Juk Porridge Restaurant. (porridge restaurants are rear here in the states ) From what I gather, Charm Juk is a women owned small business. You get the full set up by dinning in. I recommend enjoying your order inside versus take out. Charm Juk will definitely be my go to spot for these Korean staples going forward. Delicious. Great Service.

This place is the to go place for Korean porridge for my family. Perfect when you don't feel good.

I came right when they opened and waited for about 15 minutes to pick up the special abalone juk (my favorite) and the seafood combo juk. It is a meal that feels like a warm hug and hits the spot every time. I can't get enough of this place. I already know that I will be back plenty more times as the temperature starts to drop.

I've been wanting to try this place for awhile, and it was perfect for a chilly day. Charm Juk is located in the corner right next to HMart, and the space itself is small and cozy. Our server was very sweet and kind. Both the oyster and shrimp juk were tasty and the portion size was just right - we finished it all and were very satisfied! The value is great as well, prices very affordable. I'll have to come back next time to try the dessert menu!

A little hidden gem right in the corner of Carrollton. Next door to h-mart! Don't you dare let this place pass you by, so delicious. Even on the hottest-most humid day a bowl of rice porridge can hit the spot. It surely did! I ordered the spicy kimchi beef. Sweet young lady helped me and boy was that bowl fresh, fanatic and piping hot when I got home. Went perfectly With my dumplings too. Spicy, fresh, hot and flavorful! Can't wait to try other flavors! Such a cute cozy place! I was very pleased! Definitely a lucky charm in Carrollton!

When you are in the need for some warm porridge whether it's for cold weather or for when you are sick, Charm juk is there for you! They have different varieties of porridges for different occasions. Few days ago, my stomach was bothering me for few days, so I made a to-go order for chicken ginseng juk. It definitely helped with the indigestion problem I had and helped me to get better sooner than later. For me, the portion is pretty big, so I actually ate it three different meals. Last time I was there, I saw that they were selling dduk galbi and other bento items... maybe I'll try that next time?

Very nice place. We ordered Oyster juk and mushroom shrimp juk and beef patty. Really good. Highlyrecommended.

service was great! very nice and friendly people! we weren't super familiar with what korean porridge exactly was but we enjoyed the seafood juk--a little on the bland side but comes with a good assortment of seafood. we also got the fish roe bibimbap which was tasty!

I already know this is going to be my go-to spot for comfort food whenever I visit Dallas. The small space is very clean and no-frills. My boyfriend and I shared the abalone juk. The restaurant had a lot of lunch orders and our server warned us it would take over 30 minutes, but I think it took closer to 20 for our food to come out. One serving was definitely enough for the two of us. The abalone juk was delicious, and I was really impressed by how flavorful it was. The toppings were also delicious, and overall it was exactly what I needed on a cold day. Our bill came out to a little over $20, which I thought was extremely reasonable for a filling two-person lunch.

Small mom and pop shop with the best juk in town! We got 3 different kinds and shared with 4 ppl. Absolutely delicious. Every flavor was unique. The side dishes were also amazing. The place was very clean and the waitress who helped us was very attentive and gave us cold and hot water per request and offered extra side dishes. 10/10 would come back to try other flavors! We wanted to try the crab juk but they were out of crab.

I LOVE the rice porridge here!!! It's tucked away next to Hmart, but it's definitely worth checking out. The prices are good; you get a large portion of incredible rice porridge. The workers are kind and helpful. A lovely comfort food place in Carrollton.

The chicken juk was incredibly comforting to eat and had such a good flavor! Definitely recommend for anyone in the mood for comfort food. The mushrooms and bean sprouts were slightly seeet which complemented the juk well. The spicy side also went really well with the juk. Such a cute little interior as well (even though I got takeout)

A small and casual place to go to for comfort food of rice porridge. There are different types from chicken, beef and different combinations of seafood. We had the chicken and the seafood combo. The bowls are big and unlike Chinese or Vietnamese , there are carrots in them. Each juk comes with 3 small plates of veggies. Our favorite was the Kim chi which we added to the juk for extra flavor. For those who don't want juk, there are other options like bentos. We had the pumpkin juk for desserts where the bowl was just as big as the entrees. There is only one server and she was very helpful and attentive. A good place to go especially whe' it is cold outside. Yes, I would come back.

So I'm Korean so I will have a strong bias for legit Korean food. And my friends, this is legit Korean food. Once you've tried bibimbap, Korean bbq, and/or some of the various soups/stews over at the HMart next door, you have to come and try the simple juk (porridge) at this place. It's a small quaint spot tucked away right in the corner next to HMart, and has some seating but it definitely gets filled up quick during meal time. We went there around 7pm on a Friday and it filled up real quick. We ordered the spicy octopus juk and the chicken juk. Our waitress was very efficient as I think she was the only one working for everyone, and got our order and food very quickly. She spoke both excellent English and Korean. She even made sure I was ok with the spicy octopus being made spicy via the power of kimchi. And hey if you're not in the mood for porridge, they seem to have those stone bibimbap style things as well on the menu. Even I wasn't quite sure if I wanted something that seems as mundane as porridge, but I'm glad I did. The spicy octopus juk is actually pretty spicy but it's a slow continuous burn from Korean red chili flakes and has the funk of the kimchi which adds to the taste. I was afraid that the octopus would just be a few pieces grouped up in the center or something but it was actually very small pieces so that it's in every bite. And given the octopus's chewy texture, you definitely noticed it and it added a seafoody meatiness to the dish which was evened out by plenty of fresh bean sprouts within as well. The banchan was simple, some sort of pickled mushrooms, a scallion kimchi, and some bean sprouts. My wife's chicken juk was savory to the max. Perfect for cold weather or when you're feeling sick. Not necessarily just simple and bland, but filling, warm, and savory as well. They also have soy sauce if you ask for it. Fancy house version with sliced scallions in a little metal dispenser, none of the small packet nonsense or those kikkoman bottles. The soy sauce definitely adds another extra layer of flavor. We saw a lot of people coming to pick up orders, and that makes a lot of sense. We got a lot of food so we took some home to go and they reheated perfectly the next day. It's probably one of the perfect foods to takeout, as it won't go bad or soggy, and it's easily reheatable. This may be our new to-go spot when it's cold rather than getting something like pho. Juk is just so much more satisfying and filling.

I got the beef juk and the abalone juk. The abalone juk had a very strong seafood flavor and was very delicious. The beef juk was also a good choice, but just a bit bland. They gave us a side dish of fish cake, bean sprouts, and some kimchi(?). Overall the food was really good and would be perfect for when you're sick or on a cold night.

If you're craving Juk this is the perfect place. You don't see a lot of restaurants focused only Korean style porridge (Juk)- you see it in NY, LA and obviously in Korea. The portions are generous! Two people can share one porridge dish for sure or you can take the rest home and it's perfect to eat again later. A lot of different flavor combination you can choose from- I like that it's not overly seasoned so you can pair it with the other small salty side dishes. Juk should be a little bland since it used to be dish served to you when you were sick in Korea- (think like a staple such as chicken noodle soup when you're sick in the states). Located right next to H Mart- note: they are closed on Monday.

Love this place! Perfect comfort food when you are sick too:) The place is very clean and has great service as well.

With cold weather right around the corner, we highly recommend that you pencil in a visit to Charm Juk for some belly warming Korean porridge! For those unfamiliar, it's more or less congee or rice porridge; only theirs are served up with all sorts of different proteins! For years, if either of us was ever feeling under the weather, this was the gold standard for pick-me-up meals!

This is a fantastic place that specializes in Korean rice porridge. This specialization is great because they do it very well. The type of porridge options are quite good and variable. One of my favorite places when I want something soothing to the stomach. Definitely a place that provides a type of food that you will not see among the other korean restaurants. Check them out, good stuff. My star rating scale 1 - Stay home/cook or rather go on diet 2 - You are buying AND I am crazy hungry 3 - Decent or I am hungry 4 - Tasty - Yum Yum! 5 - So good I ate my fingers too!

This place has a lot of stars and I can see why, their chao (rice porridge) is extremely flavorful!! This place is really small, keep in mind it is next to H Mart which is a super busy supermarket, so you will and probably might have to park far but let me tell you it will be worth it. I came on a Sunday around 1230 and it really wasn't that busy I was immediately greeted, that was a nice touch. We got to order our food pretty quickly which was a nice thing I noticed, we had the vegetable porridge and we also had the rice bowl. The porridge was so so so flavorful I absolutely loved it! It makes me want to come back and try all of the other flavors. A nice touch is I love that their menu was nice and explanatory. There was a rice bowl one that I had with seaweed & tobiko and some other vegetables and it was delicious. The little dishes on the side for side items was awesome. For two dishes for only $22 you can't beat that price and it was worth every penny! I will be back.

A very cute little Korean restaurant with pretty good juk. Perfect for cold days or if you have a cold. The Juk I had was strongly tasting like sesame oil. So much that I could not really taste mushroom and shrimp in the base. (I ordered a mushroom/shrimp Juk. The service started out sloppy but got better as we sat down. No one came to sit us down or greeted us when we walked in. We had to sit and find a table ourselves. But once we got our food ordered, they were very attentive to us. Taste:4/5 Comfort:5/5 Service: 3/5

Love this place is nice, healthy and comfort food I have been going there for 5 years and is never disappointed. It is a family business and owners are very kind. One of my favorite places to go.

To be honest, I'm not always in the mood for porridge but, when I am, Charm Juk hits the spot! I came in when I was feeling sick and felt as though their hearty, delicious porridge and complimentary warm roasted corn tea breathed new life into me. I got the chicken ginseng juk and LOVED it. I also tried my friend's shiitake mushroom with shrimp juk and thought it was really tasty. No complaints about the food. They have GOOD PORTIONS and savory sides to mix into the porridge: pickled bean sprout, mushrooms, and a spicy paste. There were some issues with service: no one greeted us/ sat us when we entered and so we grabbed our own menus and picked a table. There were no cups on our table which we had to specifically ask for to get the complimentary tea in the front. The waitress also apologized for the delay in getting a water container to our table. However, she was quick and great about replacing our sides! The shop gave off strong Mom-and-Pop vibes which I liked. It's small and was hard to find at first.. but look for the place right next to H-Mart. I will definitely be back. Summary: food 5/5, ambiance 5/5, service 2/5.

I got the seafood porridge and it was spectacular for a cold day. The staff is no pleasant and at tentative.
