This group covers Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Indian and other Asian cuisines that are not Chinese, and the etiquette varies by kitchen. Japanese and Korean restaurants often take reservations for dinner and may add a service charge for large groups; Thai and Vietnamese spots are usually walk-in and quick-turnover. Spice levels are frequently adjustable on request at Thai, Indian and Sichuan-adjacent menus, so say if you want it mild or hot. Korean BBQ restaurants typically charge per person for all-you-can-eat service with a time limit, and grills are shared at the table. Vietnamese pho shops post bowl sizes (regular or large) and a plate of herbs, bean sprouts and lime is normal to add yourself.

McAllen is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and McAllen follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

iβve never went out of my way to make a review for a restaurant but i just the had the greatest experience here. we had the pork couples combo meant for 2 but big enough for 3 people. everything tasted amazing we didnβt even expect all the sides included. the owner ( iβm assuming) was the kindest lady ever and helped us through out our whole experience even with the cooking. the servers were also super kind and sweet. forsure would recommend.

My husband found this restaurant on a whim based on pictures of food that looked yummy and a review that mentioned what a hidden gem this restaurant was. So we went, and we are so glad we did. It was a little after they opened at 11am and we were the only ones there which added to the great experience since it was our first time there. We were greeted immediately and the server answered all of our questions and was patient as he told us more about the menu. We decided on the couple combo hot pot of 3 meats and one side. The meats included boneless short rib, prime ribeye, and brisket point. Then we got to choose one side of either fried rice, doenjag jjigae, and shin ramen. We chose the ramen. It was $99 for the combo and trust me when I say it was WORTH IT. They brought us sides to eat with our meat that we cooked ourselves. Sides like kimchi cucumbers, lettuce and fresh jalepenos, kimchi, tofu kimchi, spinach, and bean sprouts. The whole experience was AMAZING. My husband loved it (thankfully because itβs husband appreciation day lol). Our server was great and patiently explained the process to us on how to use the hot pot and the best way to eat our meal. Everything was so delic

Everything is delicious and brought out to you very fast. I love their fried rice and the little side dishes they bring out add a lot to the meal as well. During happy hour in the evenings they have half off entrees and appetizers. The cost to portion ratio was excellent. I absolutely recommend that more people eat out here. I wholeheartedly believe that this restaurant is criminally under-rated.

Bon Galbi was a great experience and a wonderful date spot. We ordered the seafood jeon and the gyoza to start. For the BBQ, we chose the prime ribeye and the pork belly. The quality of the meat was excellent, and the portion sizes were generous. It was more than enough food for two people, and we ended up taking a box home. I ordered an Asahi, and he had a Coca-Cola. They also offer soju on the menu if you want something more traditional with Korean BBQ. The atmosphere was comfortable and felt like a genuine Korean BBQ experience. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. They explained the cooking process, checked in at the right moments, and made sure we had everything we needed. They also brought gochujang to the table when we asked, which was appreciated! At the end of the meal, they gave us a small rice drink as a palate cleanser. It was lightly sweet, refreshing, and a thoughtful way to finish the evening, comparable to horchata. Overall, this was a great spot with good service, quality food, and a relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely return.
