Go Hyang Jib

Good food in a simple unassuming place. Not fancy but good food makes fresh. Korean news on the TV.

I had a long shift and when I got home I was craving jajangmyeon really badly. I decided to Ubereats and came across this restaurant. Unfortunately, I go to Korea frequently and jajangmyeon (more recently ganjajang) is my favorite dish ever since I was a child and so I’ve become quite picky with this seemingly simple dish. For the first time, I was very happy. Although the noodles were sticky (natural after a 70m wait due to the Uber driver getting lost…not the restaurant’s fault at all), the sauce was delicious. Most restaurants will skip out on the tiny pieces of meats but this place included many vegetables and meat. To me, it really was a dish made with love. The restaurant also included banchan (small sides) whereas most restaurants would neglect them for an online order. Noodles and sauce was plentiful. For price, it truly exceeded everything. I cannot say enough good things about this place and the next time I am having a craving, I’ll be visiting this restaurant where I’m sure the flavor will be even more amazing being hot and fresh! Truly a hole in the wall and I’ll be letting my friends know to try this place out!

My review will be somewhat biased because I’ve been coming here for years with my Dad since it’s so close to work and it’s relatively unknown. It’s a no frills restaurant/convenience store. The original owner used to cook all the dishes herself but with age, she’s trusted the restaurants to her stewards who have been with her for decades. They’ve done a great job continuing the cooking technics and quality of taste. The kimchi is still made fresh in-house as are all their banchan. I’ve had everything on the menu but never took pictures. Their braised short ribs are so succulent. Their jjampong, although not filled with as much seafood as in the past, is still solid and the taste is nostalgic for me. Spicy yet flavorful. All their dishes are solid. Still a favorite of mine, when I need a quick and home cooked meal.

Once of the best Korean restaurants in Texas Don't let the building or next door market fool you. My wife and I were first surprised at the layout but the food was authentic and fresh.

Amazing hand cut noodle soup and grilled mackerel. Very generous portions!!!!

Go Hyang Jib Korean restaurant is truly a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Chinatown. It has become my go-to spot for delicious Atka mackerel grilled fish and mouthwatering sashimi on rice dishes. One of the highlights of dining here is the variety of flavorful soups, especially the seafood soup, which never fails to impress. Having been a loyal patron for the past 15 years, I can attest to the consistent quality of their food. While there may be occasional long waits during busy periods, the enduring kindness of the lady who has been a fixture there for years makes the experience worthwhile. Her dedication to providing excellent service is truly commendable.Despite the potential for longer wait times, the wait is always worth it as every visit guarantees well-marinated and fresh seafood dishes served in generous portions. Plus, the prices are incredibly reasonable, making it an excellent value for the quality of food offered. If you're seeking an authentic Korean dining experience hidden within Chinatown, I highly recommend Go Hyang Jib Korean restaurant. Just be prepared to exercise a little patience during peak hours, and you'll be rewarded with an unforgettable culinary journey.
