Joy Kitchen

Overall, Food taste is great. But, I won’t come back here because of the amount of food you get for what you pay. As a Korean, when I saw the number of side dishes, I thought it is so lame. And Bulgogi, tons of mung beans and a very small amount of meat for 13 dollars before tax? This should be a joke. There are more Korean restaurants that serve same food for similar price or lower and provide more side dishes. I personally don’t recommend here.

First time to visit Dallas on my own for a concert and I wanted to stop by a real comfort Korean food as it reminds me of home and my mom. This Fish Egg Soup was absolutely sumptuous! Well worth it! People would travel for amazing experience especially with food. And I wouldn't mind traveling 30 mins from my hotel to have a fulfilling satisfied tummy. I would definitely come back before I head back my base. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Been a downward sloop since I started going 5 years ago. Its been getting more pricey, and the chicken from the fire chicken has been reduced to add more bean sprouts. Get it spicy, its pretty good and the rice cakes are perfect. One of my favorite drinks, the sweet rice drink that used to be free is now $2 a pop. I do not recommend the dolsot bibimbap. It is not crispy enough and the portion size is pretty small.

Located on the corner of Plano Rd and Buckingham, Joy Kitchen is a gem of a restaurant. If you are looking for authentic, hole in the wall Korean food, this is the place. My favorite dish here is the dumpling soup (manduguk). The broth is seasoned perfectly and served in a piping hot clay bowl. Included with the entree are three sides and a serving of purple rice. I was disappointed by the amount of side dishes provided compared to other Korean restaurants which is the reason for four stars. The main dish, however, was wonderful. The dumplings were very well-seasoned and the slices of beef were tender. My wife ordered the fish egg soup and it was also very delicious. Our favorite part of this restaurant is the rice drink, which used to be free but is now $2 a cup. Just like other small businesses, COVID has also had an impact on Joy Kitchen. If you are looking for great authentic Korean food then look no further.
