Texan Wangbal - Jokbal, Bossam

Food comes out quick and fresh. I had the bossom and it was a good size and tasty. The seafood pancake was also very good with a lot of seafood and crispy exterior. It got super busy very quick and they were receiving calls for parties of 10&12 and talked very loudly how other customers were already in their seats and such, which made me feel rushed to get out. Other than that, overall good service and tasty food.

My family love this place. Their dongchimi is always good and fresh. I visited here more than 3 times. My husband loves spicy jokbal, but it is way too spicy for me. Pro- good pork jokbal chewy and yummy -side dishes are good -nice server. Kids friendly Cons -It's a bit pricy but due to inflation, it is understandable -galbijjim Togo don't recommend it not enough food.. dine in recommended - makgooksoo was not as good as I expected.

Got the bossam combo to-go and it’s very reasonable for the price. Only thing is I wish they would give a little more meat. Super yummy and the side dishes are good too!!

My favorite Jokbal in Dallas! Great food and price. Dine-in and pick-up both great options.

Their pork knuckles are very, very,delicious! flavorful and tender. It's the best pork knuckle I've ever eaten! Although you will be afraid of their price at first, but they have a very large portion, which is very suitable for family and friends! The point is that the pork knuckle feet are really delicious

More than one person has highly recommended this place to me, so we decided to give it a shot! We have ZERO regret to try this place! My family all agree that they make super delicious jakbal, which is the best we have ever tried. Now, we keep stopping by as regular customers a few times per month. Thank you for making so delicious food! 😀

Very solid place for Jokbal. Of the three places I tried in Carrollton, Jang Choong Dong, MooBongRi, and this one, my favorite is MooBongRi b/c it serves the Jokbal warm instead of room temperature and it’s a bit more saucier, aka more flavorful. The side dishes are best at Texan Wang Wangbal out of the three mentioned.

The food is very tasty!!! The service was ok but I think because there was only one person serving who also was taking phone orders and cashing out. But it is worth coming. We had bossam and pork soup. We ate so fast and forgot to take photos of the food.

My new fav jokbal place! You have great options to choose from on the menu: jokbal (pig trotters), bossam (pork belly), intestine, stews/soup&rice, and both individual sets and larger sizes for sharing. We were a party of 3 and ordered the jokbal set, and it was so yummy. The meat was nice and chewy without being too greasy, and the staff was generous with side dish refills. We ate plenty but still had leftovers to take home, so the dish fed a fourth person too The ambiance is cozy and no-nonsense--great place to catch up with some friends on a Friday night!

This place is a solid 4.5. If you're looking for a no frills place that is healthy and delicious, this is your place to go. Bossam (boiled pork belly) & Jokbal (pig's feet) are huge and one combo ($64.99) was more than enough to share among 4 people. The first time we came with 3 people, we had plenty of leftovers and we also had leftovers with 4 as well. How to eat it: - Take your lettuce wrap, put the meat inside, supplement it with any of the kimchi/sides and take a bite. Nice and simple. Service is nonexistent unless you push the button to grab their attention. It's fine if you're used to it, but many people might not know/realize. Docked a star because their galbi jjim was not the traditional galbi jjim, but made with pork ribs that were over cooked and not a favorite amongst the group. Would definitely pass on this next time.

Overall: 5/5 Food: 5/5 - I came here with a friend and we got a jokbal meal combo ($40 no tip included) to share and it was really delicious ! The meal comes with a bunch of side dishes but no rice and I walked away feeling very satisfied. Service: 4/5 - There was not much service given during the visit but it was ok ! Value: 5/5 - After tax and tip the total was around $53 and we had leftovers between two people. I would definitely come back and try something new ! The restaurant space is pretty small and I noticed a lot of people getting carry out so i would maybe opt for that the next time. Overall, this place was very good at what they do (bossam/jokbal). I would recommend and come back !

This is the first time I've ever written a negative review. This restaurant is full of discrimination, and I had an extremely unpleasant experience. I was in Dallas for a business trip, exhausted and starving after landing. I saw the great reviews for this place and decided to drive 40 minutes just to give it a try. But as soon as we walked in, a middle-aged Korean lady greeted us and immediately said, "We close at 10." We came in at 9pm. If she didn't want to serve us, she could've simply said the kitchen was closed instead of giving us an excuse and making us feel unwelcome. That would've honestly been better than the terrible experience that followed. Starting with ordering--before we were even fully seated, the lady kept staring at us. She didn't introduce the menu or help us in any way, just kept rushing us to order because "the kitchen is closing." I showed her a photo of a dish and asked for a small portion, but she insisted we order the large one, even though there were clearly smaller portions on the menu--and we were only two people. During our entire meal, not a single staff member smiled at us, yet they were warm and friendly to other Korean guests. The food? Not impressive at all. Their so-called "seafood pancake" had the least amount of seafood I've ever seen in all the Korean restaurants I've tried. While we were eating, they kept coming by to check if we were done, making us feel like we were just in the way of their closing time--even though their posted hours clearly say they close at 10pm. When we left, that same middle-aged lady didn't even say goodbye or acknowledge us. I honestly don't know what we did to deserve such cold treatment, but this is a very disappointing way to run a business. I hope the management reflects on how they treat non-Korean customers, and I sincerely hope they do better in the future--because no one should leave a restaurant feeling like they weren't welcome.

Everything was just OK. The bossam & jokbal had more fat than meat and the flavor was lacking. The half and half order was plenty for 4 people. Gamja tang was bland and not spicy. There were a lot of bones with little meat. Basic banchan assortment of kimchi, fish cake, radish kimchi, and pickled onion. Small restaurant with about 10 tables. The parking lot is shared by a dozen other businesses so parking can be a hassle.

Craving Jokbal or Bossam? Texan Wang Bal has you covered! I came with a party of 5 for dinner and we ordered the jokbal half + bossam half combo, seafood pancake, and spicy squid bokum. I love their seafood pancake and highly recommend people trying it! It's so crispy and comes with a soy dipping sauce. It was my first time trying their spicy squid + vegetables dish, and it was so good! It was a little sweet & spicy and tastes amazing with a bowl of rice! The half and half combo is a great option if you want to enjoy delicious steamed pork belly and tender pig trotter. The combo comes with lettuce, garli/jalapeño, sauces, and side dishes. It was a lot of meat, and alongside the other dishes we ordered, it easily satisfied us all with additional leftovers that we took to-go. We arrived around 6:30pm on a weekday and there was seating available. The restaurant itself seems on the smaller side so I can see them having a wait if you're trying to dine in. Service was quick though - we didn't have to wait long for our food. Overall, Texan Wangbal is a great place to enjoy some Bossam + Jokbal with generous portions and affordable pricing.

The bossam here is SO good, my husband and I have been here twice in the last week. The first time we came with 2 friends and shared the half and half (1/2 bossam, 1/2 jokbal) and a seafood pancake. The seafood pancake was nice but probably not the best one I've had in Carrollton. The bossam was really good and paired really well with their radish kimchi, lettuce, garlic and samjeong. The jokbal was also tasty but a little bit too heavy/fatty after the first few bites. I think this will become one of our regular places to eat!

The Texan special medium jeokbal was tasty! Haemul pajeon was okay. Great customer service. Plenty of parking, but can get full. Small dining area.

I can't believe how FAST they were!! We ordered takeout and they got it all done under 5min. I was so impressed! Their portions are huge with very reasonable prices. They are very generous with all the side things like the lettuce and other items. But what was the most impressive was HOW AMAZING IT TASTED!! So yummy and full of flavor!!

I've tried the Jokbal Meal for me. Great portion for the price very impressive, good taste for the main dish and side dish as well. I would like to go back to try other menu.

- Food: Amazing. I was craving Jokbal for awhile but wasn't sure where to go and how the quality would be like. There is no smell to it and the portion size is generous. I went with a friend and we shared one medium Jokbal and had leftovers. The meat is tender, chewy, and warm. - Service: The serving staff is friendly and gives an honest and helpful tips to order. - Price: For the price, the amount of actual Jokbal we got is pretty good. Overall, I haven't had Bossam or other items on the menu so I cannot speak for those, but their Jokbal is really good. I would come back here for Jokbal when I crave it in the future!

Great place for pig trotter in Carollton. The portion is big and super filling. We ordered the meal for two and couldn't even finish it. Service was quick and friendly. Food comes w free banchan. Highly recommend!

Love the pig trotter here but try to go in-person and if you are ordering takeout, make sure to check if they give you rice. I've been a regular for years & I ordered through DoorDash for the first time b/c of an injury and I was disappointed to find that the order did not come with side sauces + rice, so I called to check and the staff did a poor job responding because I wasn't even asking for a refund or anything; simply asked if the rice wasn't supposed to come with (because I was willing to tolerate the sauce part), and they said "rice is never part of the meal for takeouts." Trust - this is a Korean restaurant. Rice is always a part of this type of meal. So I said I've been a regular and I takeout and dine-in all the time and I've always had my rice, lol. And then they quickly changed their response saying that if the rice was part of an order, it's just a complimentary service they provide for certain orders and the next time I come, they'll make sure I get lots of rice (not the point here). The way the staff (or the owner) handled this was disappointing b/c it was obvious that she was just trying to answer just to quickly provide an answer in that moment, but it was a lie. Like just own up to it and admit that the rice was forgotten and we apologize - simple. Long story short, great pig trotters but maybe just dine-in or just check if you have your rice if you're ordering takeout! PS. Promise I'm not a rice-obsessed freak, but it was the lie that just got to me :)

Not sure why this place doesn't have more reviews because it is so good!! I got #7 Jokbal (Half) + Bossam (Half), and it was a good serving size for 2 people to finish in one sitting. The jokbal (pig trotters) skin? So good. The meat was really tender and flavorful, and it doesn't look like that much but there was quite a lot of it. The bossam was also really good! I think the jokbal and bossam balance each other really well because the bossam is a bit lighter. Always always have to wrap it with the lettuce and sides to make the perfect bite. It was really busy when I went, but the service was fast and reliable. Highly recommend!

Our go to for jokbal! We used to get the L or S jokbal but now we get the jokbal combo it comes with a soybean paste soup! This place is quick and fast. They have buttons on the table if you need them. The food is always great!

Food is great. Limited parking. Decor is nothing crazy, clean and simple. Service is quick and to the point. Not much to it. Definitely a go again location.

Texan Wang Bal is a small restaurant tucked away in the back corner of the plaza. The staff were attentive and friendly. It's darkly lit so good vibes all around. They specialize in jokbal and bossam. First off, the banchan was delicious and unlimited. I really liked the kimchi. We ordered the jokbal and it was enough to eat for two days. The galbi came out on a hot plate and it was delicious. We finished it in one sitting between two people.

Jokbal and bossam are two of my favorite Korean foods so the fact that this place sells both was a win for me. The restaurant itself is fairly small and when I arrived for dinner during a weekday, most of the tables were occupied. They were able to get me seated since it was just me and a friend, but I could see how this place could get busy during peak hours during the weekend. Everything we ordered was delicious and we had plenty of food leftover at the end, which we had expected. -Jokbal & Bossam (combo)-$49.99-(4/5) This was a combination of their jokbal and bossam so you can try the best of both worlds. The jokbal was super tender, had great flavor, and they did a great job of cutting the meat for you so the bones are separated from the meat making it easier to eat. The bossam was also good but it wasn't anything special and a few of the pieces were a little dry. The jokbal was definitely the star of the show here. Enough for probably 3-4 people to share. It comes with lettuce, cabbage, saeng chae (spicy radish), jalapenos, onions, ssamjang (soybean/chili paste) and a few side dishes with the meal. -Gamja tang-$15.99-(5/5) This pork bone soup had a generous amount of pork meat and the soup itself was spicy and very tasty. Definitely a great option to share and if you're in the mood for some type of soup to accompany the meal. Overall, I had a great meal here and will definitely be back!

Great food, service and friendly atmosphere. Great place for jokbal and beers or Soju ( makoli too) Spicy Jokbal is but you can't stop eating it.

A hole in the wall Korean restaurant that specializes in jokbal (pig trotters) and bossam (pork wraps). We ordered two combos, one of each, and gamjatang (pork bone stew). It's a pretty small space with lots of regulars so you may have to wait on a busy night. Service was super fast so we were able to start eating pretty much right away. We got fast refills of the banchan and lettuce wraps, pretty much nonstop. My fiancé's family is Korean and they hadn't been here before, but were definitely impressed! Safe to say authentic stamp of approval from them.

I have never tasted pork feet and belly meat as delicious as this before; the texture and flavor were exceptional.

The owners are amazing! I can't wait to visit again from San Antonio! If there is one place you should go to in Dallas it is Texan Wang Bal! Can't wait to give it another go!

we went around 6pm...not even close to closing and its peak dinner time. We walk in, get seated and lady says "we're out of jok bal" "umm...isn't this place main menu jok bal...?" so... what a disappointment. seeing all the great reviews i wish i could've given it a shot and put in my two cents but.. oh well.

This is a brand new Korean spot that just opened in the same plaza as C-grill, it has a variety of well known Korean dishes that reminds me of Maht Gaek. I LOVE Jokbal so I had to give this place a visit, and it didn't disappoint. We were also pleasantly surprised to find they had a bunch of soups on the menu, so we'll have to come back for that next time. Service was good and food was tasty, portions were also great. What more could you ask for?

Wanted to add that though I said it was "pricey" it is in line with how much food you receive. So don't be afraid of the price tag! You get what you pay for. It's quality food and plenty of it.

I came here with my friend on a Friday night. The restaurant was small, but it was cozy, and we still had our privacy. Since it was a small restaurant, service was quick, and like other Korean restaurants, there was a button we could press if we needed anything. My friend and I ordered the half and half: jokbal and bossam. The portions were huge, but the entree was a bit pricey, so I guess you get what you pay for. I was strangely obsessed with the fish cakes banchan. After trying it for the first time I wouldn't say jokbal is my favorite dish, but it certainly was a nice experience.

I have never had jokbal or bossam before and we got the half + half option and it was 10/10! The portion is pretty large and was enough to share for 4 people with the pork stew as well. The kimchi and sides were also very good!! I usually don't like kimchi so that's really saying something. They offered us a bowl of rice and gave us extra lettuce! Really great service when we went on a weeknight.

The bossam here is bomb af! Love their bossam and they give you so much even for just the medium size! It comes with the garlic, lettuce, peppers, and all the banchan as well! Highly recommend you ask for the green onion kimchi as well! I also tried the jokbal (pig trotters) and the stir fried gopchang and they were okay. The jokbal has a strong cinnamon/star anise type of flavor which is not really my thing for jokbal and the stir fried gopchang was bitter but tender! They were good dishes but just not my preference! I will stick to bossam!

Texas jokbal?! Sure why not! First time so super curious. Items appear pretty and tasty looking right? Kimchi with brine and pepper taste that suggested freshly made. So does the rest of the meal taste as good as it looks? The items look clean but it also taste clean? Is that detergent I taste from the kamja tang soup? I thought I did and waved it off until someone else makes a comment that they taste detergent! So I was not imagining... I have experienced this detergent taste before at other places. I don' t understand this food cleaning method. Potato in the kamja tang was undercooked, and the meat was sadly plenty of bone versus meat. The taste was MSG based and sweet. Just not my taste preference. The jokbal was not really remarkable. It looked pretty though. Does that make this like lipstick on a pig? Haemul pajeon looked crispy but underneath it was still swimming in some oil thus a soft and oily taste. Mostly batter... So overall the food was generally sweet tasting to me. I may give it another try but would require a psycho hungry situation. With all the other eating options available in the area then may also require some type of freak power outage to give it another go... My rating scale: 1=Stay home and fast or eat dirt 2=I am psycho hungry and someone is paying 3=Average and I am hungry 4=Tasty yum yum! 5=OMG, I ate my fingers too!

Superb! Pig trotters and pork belly done right! Huge portions, amazing service, and the owner is simply adorable! She takes pride in her dishes and treats you like family!

I rarely give bad reviews, but this was one of the most disappointing meals I've had in DFW. I'm not sure if it was an off night or if quality has declined (there are so many positive reviews!), but the jokbal and bossam combo came out cold and tasted as if it had been sitting out for a long time. The banchan was limited (only two dishes) and overly salty and underwhelming, and we weren't offered rice to go with it. There are myriad wonderful Korean restaurants in the area, and we were bummed by the quality of this one.

Our new go-to spot for jokbal is Texan Wang Bal. the servers are super nice and helpful and if you go at the right time, you may catch them joyously singing in the kitchen.... And added bonus. We had jokbal, galbi tang and haemul pajeon.. all were wonderful! The jokbal was well balanced between sweet and savory, with a great texture from the collagen.. perfect to eat on its own or wrapped up in your favorite ssam fashion. The galbi tang was rich, flavorful, and well seasoned, with the meat increasingly tender. Haemul pajeon was nice and crisp on the outside and tender and full of veg and seafood. Delish! We would definitely suggest coming with friends and they are open late too!

Banchan (side dishes): 100/10 Whatever their secret recipe is for the banchan seasoning/paste, I want it!! THE BEST SIDE DISHES EVER. And when the side dishes are good, the food is good! The half n half was perfect for 4 people, and our total cost per person was only around $15! The bossam was the right firmness, and the jokbal was flavorful. Their lettuce was also crisp and fresh! This place is great for groups and probably a little more alive at night. They're currently fixing things up inside this small place, but great service :)

Newest spot to pop up in ktown Carrollton. They serve up generous portions of meats. When you walk in you are greeted by a sweet ajumma, you are given a handwritten menu all in Korean so bring a Korean friend or just randomly point at the menu and hope for the best. They are known for three things: pork feet, pork feet and LA spicy beef ribs. We got a combo that came with a large portion of pork feet and belly including an assortment of kimchi, lettuce, sauces and rice. It was large enough to feed three people for $42. The pork was of good quality and well-cooked with no porky after taste. You can make a delicious lettuce wrap with the meat, kimchi and sauce. Will definitely come back to try out the LA spicy beef ribs

A great new place for authentic Korean meat! They serve bossam (steamed pork belly), jok bal (pork feet meat), and galbi jjim (braised short ribs) as their signature dishes. I was able to try all of them and they did not disappoint. I hope more people know about this hot location since it is a slightly away from the huge ktown complex!

I ordered a medium bossum and it was the perfect size for two people to share. The rice was a bit different from the typical sticky rice found at Korean restaurants, but it could have just been the batch of the day. The bossum itself was very flavorful and enjoyable with the dipping sauces. The banchan (Korean side dishes) were a bit underwhelming, but overall my first experience was great.

Come here if you want to get judged and discriminated by the old Korean lady server(perhaps the owner). She'll be nice if you are Korean, but if you not Korean I don't recommend coming here. It's was our first time coming here and will be the last time. When we first walked in, a young girl seated us and served us and everything was going smoothly great, then this old Korean lady(maybe the owner) starting roaming around our table and checking everyone on the table from head to toe, and she started give us looks of judgments and keeping staying around at our table making all of us feeling very uncomfortable. Later, when we asked her for some Togo boxes she only give us two small boxes, we ordered $120 worth of food, and we ask for two more she said we have to pay an extra dollar for two more small Togo boxes. Not only that she ask us to put extra dollar on the tip on our bill in a very rude manner while watching us doing so.

Best Bossam in Carrollton area! Big portion and fresh meat! Our go to for Bossam and Jokbal.

I love the side dishes and bossam here! So good! The portion is huge too! Service is great.

Wowza the Jokbal was delicious and enough for 4, no kidding, me and the wife took more than half home and had a whole new meal with the leftovers. Chive Pancake was best I've had since back from Seoul (Jokbal too btw). Banchans and tofu soup was delicious as well. I'd be happy to see smaller portions and meals not quite so expensive for 2 but you definitely get every pennies worth and more! Mashiseo!!!

Amongst the many Korean restaurants surrounding Wang Bal, this restaurant stood out. From its specialized, authentic menu, to its cozy, homelike environment. The food was fantastic, offering incredible flavor with each bite. Highly recommended!

I really wanted to eat jogbal and bossam so I came with my friend last weekend. The food came quick and it was massive. I recommend the food, but I highly do not like their tipping system. I received the check with a total amount 18% higher than the price with tax without any line items to show that there was an 18% tip automatically added for a party of just TWO people. The table said it will only be added with 6+ people. Not only that, but the lady who gave me the check told me to not forget to add a tip. This dishonest business practice will let those who are unaware of the line items (the receipt at the very bottom) add ANOTHER tip on top of 18%. Tipping 10-15% on top of an inflated amount could equal a 35% tip on the original price. I was not in the mood to argue because that kind of practice doesn't deserve 18% tip for a lunch at 3pm.

I mean. It's Jokbal and Bossam. HECK YES. I love niche restaurants. And in Carrollton where the food scene is so incredibly competitive with rotating restaurants and long-time favorites, it is SO HARD to stay relevant in this area. Any addition is a welcome addition, but it is hard to stay on top of your game when opening any place to eat in this K-Town. All that being said... The 5-star reviews are 100% justified. The restaurant is in the Manna Village area, where it shares the lot with Bowl Mami and Gong Cha. The place has a limited amount of space to sit, but luckily we were seated very quickly before the crowd started spilling in. The prices may look pretty steep at first, but it is SO worth the price with how much quality food they give you. Your order comes with the lettuce to wrap, raw garlic, raw jalapenos, two sauces, your banchan (side dishes), and rice. The combo of Jokbal and Bossam was HUGE. It easily could feed 2-3 people depending on your hunger levels. The food alone is worth 5 stars, and I wish I could give them more stars for service. Two ladies were working and both were so welcoming and so nice. It was my first time having these dishes and they gladly told me how to navigate the experience. We got constant water refills and were checked on regularly despite heavy traffic (and a line!). Please go show this place some love. They work hard, have amazing food, but need support to stay afloat in this popular area! Cannot WAIT to go back

This place is hidden spot in Carrollton area! The food was very satisfying! I think I found authentic jokbal and bossam place in Dallas! I can't go different place for those food ever since I went this restaurant ! So good!

My family went in a group of 5 and enjoyed the large shared portions of meat. We got the jokbal and ended up with the seafood kalbi stew () too. The banchan/sides went great with the lettuce wraps and everything had varying levels of spice and flavor for all to enjoy. The pajeon we tried too was surprisingly crispy and delicious. Wasn't expecting it to be so good, but very pleased and would highly recommend it when you have a group and/or want to drink with great food.

Best jokbal in Dallas. The original and spicy versions are both excellent. Side dishes are good too. Highly recommend Texan Wang Bal for jokbal.

Don't waste your time. Not only was the food disappointing, but the service was even worse. Galbi didn't taste fresh and same with the pork. The male server should really go back into training. If you are going to add gratuity, at least make sure to look over the guests you are supposed to be taking care of. Good luck!

The food here is great. Best pork feet in Dallas, but the staff is something else. We had this old Korean grandma serve us and all she did was bring us our food. No water, no checking up on us. Then when came time to leave I left her a 10% tip which I thought was generous for the little amount of work she did, but she stopped us from leaving and demanded more tip. I'm Korean and I know that tip culture isn't a thing in Korea so she might be a bit confused, but wtf. She stopped us and asked why we didn't tip her 15 or 20 percent like she was entitled to the money in my wallet lol she kind of interrogated us until we gave her more money. I love the food here, but I'm never going back. Hire better people

Fairly priced, quick service, and even better authentic Korean food. Went on a weekday and wasn't busy, definitely a hidden gem that needs more attention.
