Grill your own meats, sushi, and spicy tofu stew.
"West Anderson’s Korea House turns even a takeout meal into something celebratory. Try the bubbling budae jjigae or the milky ox bone soup. Kimbap and kimchi pancakes travel with ease and still satisfy. Order online or over the phone for pick-up." - Darcie Duttweiler
"Dining at the casual Korean restaurant in North Shoal Creek is a perfectly homey experience. The traditional menu boasts stews (budae jjigae and the seaweed-y miyukguk), kimbap, and kimchi jeon. Then, there’s the fun grill-it-yourself barbecue setup with all sorts of meats, such as galbi and tender duck breasts, and a wide variety of banchan. Order from its selection of wines, cold sake, select beers, or its yuja ade, a Korean honey citron tea combined with sparkling water, lemon, and mint. The physical space is beautiful, with a pond outside and many group-friendly tables, though to-go ordering is also available. Vibe check: Korea House is a place for the community: co-owner Mrs. Kim offers monthly free meals to those who need them." - Erin Russell
"This Eater 38 Korean restaurant in North Shoal Creek is a classic for good reason. The beautiful space, hidden in a strip mall near the Alamo Drafthouse Village theater, serves traditional dishes, including cook-yourself barbecue for parties of four or more people, bibimbap, and spicy rice cakes. Visit during the first Wednesday of the month to score free meals, a gift from the owner, Mrs. Kim." - Darcie Duttweiler
"For fantastic Korean stews, look no further than this North Shoal Creek restaurant. There are bone broth-based ones like the sullungtang with thin brisket slices and glass noodles; the vegetable broth-based kimchi jjigae; and the miyukguk, a bone broth-seaweed soup. For a larger party, opt for the giant budae jjigae, which comes full of Spam, hot dogs, tofu, ground beef, rice cakes, ramen, cheese, etc. etc. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
"The O.G. of Dallas’ Korean barbecue scene, Korea House is a Carrollton staple. The meats here are served a la carte, and the offerings are largely traditional, like marinated bone-in short ribs, bulgogi, and beef intestine." - Amy McCarthy
