If you enjoy something slightly spicy yet incredibly delicious, I highly recommend trying this dish. The owner was also very friendly, and the service was excellent!

I asked the lady who took my call why she didn't take my order or mention the kitchen hours, and she defensively said that she would have told me if I had called at 8 PM. After discussing it with two other staff members, they eventually said we could still order the rice dishes and beef noodles, so I reluctantly agreed to the limited options. However, just five minutes after sitting down, they returned to say they couldn't serve the grilled chicken. This isn’t the first time I've been told they had it, only to find out later that it wasn’t available—what a letdown! When we decided to leave, the guy at the counter seemed almost pleased that we were going. This restaurant seems to rest on its laurels, believing they provide good service, but we've been disappointed too many times due to poor management. The waitress never apologized for her attitude, and her rudeness to customers is unacceptable. She should certainly be let go for her behavior.

They made it up with a few pieces of dumplings so we called it even : . A restaurant thatnot only admits their mistake but would come up with a way to make it up. Still a tad upset but great professionalism. TyKooksoo.

Just kidding, I still love me some tofu-jigae. I would say Kooksoo is the Korean equivalent of a phorestaurant, but with much higher quality ingredients and larger portions. Come very hungry, and sharing is highly recommendedbetween at least 2-3 people. I only got the chance to try the King Ribs Jjam Ppong. The only thing that made me sad about it,was that I couldn't finish it on my own. The meal is held in a large metal bowl, which keeps the soup hot throughout. Itcontains noodles, veggies, and various types of seafood. My favorite part is the two large, extremely tender, short rib. Themeat literally falls off the bone. For $20, this is a steal! I wish I got to try the galbi, but that will have to be for nexttime. We also got a free side of Korean fried dumplings for checking into Yelp. It was essentially a fried cheese dumpling.Nothing special to note, except that it was free. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to be included in any fooditinerary. The only con about this place is that it's only in the Dallas area. I would love it if they came to Houston!
