When we first saw San Korean BBQ was coming to SMU Blvd months ago, we were excited. We usually drive all the way to Carrollton or Plano for Korean BBQ, so having a spot this close sounded awesome. I don’t mind the drive because the food in K Town is consistently great, but a closer option is always a win. It took forever to open, and at one point we honestly thought it never would. Then about a week ago I drove by, saw the “Open” sign, and we decided to go as soon as we could. We tried it today, and the experience was a mixed bag. The servers were nice, and there weren’t many people dining in, so we got seated right away. The menu looked fine for a soft opening, so we went in expecting a good first visit. But once the meat showed up, things went downhill. For the price, it felt like a total rip-off. We ordered a full portion of LA Galbi for $35 and got two pieces. We ordered a full portion of pork belly for $25 and got one piece. I was honestly shocked. At the KBBQ places we go to in K Town, you get way more meat for the same price, and it tastes better. I mentioned it to our waiter and he agreed. He said he’d brought it up to the owners and their reasoning was basically that they’re in Uptown, so they’re charging more because they think people around here will pay more for less. That might work on first-timers, but people who actually eat Korean BBQ regularly aren’t going to come back. I’d rather drive a little farther and eat great food in a fun, lively place than pay more for half the product. The banchan was also really limited. We only got kimchi, pickled radish, spicy cucumbers, and onion with jalapeño. Most Korean BBQ places give you a much bigger variety, and it’s part of what makes the whole experience worth it. If the owners are reading this, here’s my honest advice: don’t try to take advantage of customers just because of the neighborhood. If you want repeat business, give people what they’re paying for. Right now, the convenience isn’t enough to make it worth it.

Just had Korean BBQ for the very first time and OMG, I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction than this restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing. Extremely flavorful. The service was outstanding, and the Korean-themed atmosphere topped off the experience. Everything exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be coming back ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!

Went for dinner tonight during their soft opening and was impressed! The owner introduced himself to us and gave us a free steak entree! We got the soft opening special was $40 and came with enough for two people bulgogi and teriyaki chicken, bunch of kimchis, and white rice and two different sauces. We can't wait to go back.
