Um ma son Arirang Korean Kitchen

Love this place. Has a good mix of noodle dishes and dumplings. My favorite is the Kalguksu. My Mom loved the Spicy Soba noodles. Everyone there is so nice and friendly. Kimchi mandu was spicy for me but it was sooo yummy ~

This is my favorite place to come for kal-guksu! Ambiance: This is a very small, cozy restaurant with just a few tables and chairs. You order at the counter, and all the food items are displayed with pictures. They also sell kimchi in both small and large containers to take home. The food does come with kimchi and yellow pickled radish. Chicken Kalguksu: This dish is incredibly comforting. The broth has just the right amount of salt and flavor. The broth is not overpowering or any weird flavoring. The chicken is shredded breast meat. The bowl includes a few simple toppings like egg, green onion, seaweed, and carrot. The portion is generous and the noodles pair well with the soup.

Absolutely no frill and a self- service spot, with absolutely delicious handmade noodles and dumplings! The noodles were delicious, there was a nice chewiness and bounce to them, I was tempted to get more! The portions were more than generous tho so I was very full. We tried the chicken noodle soup - broth was homey like it was hugging me on a cold day , it was so comforting. We also got the savory sesame noodle soup and I’ve never had any thing quite like it! If you like sesame flavor - this was pretty tasty. Wish they had protein options to add to the soups that didn’t have meat tho. We tried the seafood and kimchi dumplings and they were great - dumpling skin to filling were proportionate.

A very quaint, no frills noodles restaurant! My husband and I were wanting something comforting for dinner and stumbled upon this place. You do order at the counter, where you will be handed a numbered buzzer. Once it buzzes, you can pick up your food at the counter. Cutlery, water, and all other seasoning items are off to the side and it is self-serve. We ordered the handmade noodles in chicken broth, handmade noodles with dumplings, and a side of steamed pork dumplings. All of it was warming and delicious. It is definitely slurping noodles! I like how the noodles were chewy and a bit bouncy. The pork dumplings were flavorful and decently sized as well. I do love the kimchi here and it’s refreshing eating it with the warm noodles and broth. I believe you can also purchase a jar of your liking of their kimchi. It does get busy around dinner when we went so plan accordingly. I also think this is better at the restaurant than to have it as take-out. Overall, it’s a must-try and we will definitely be back to try the other noodle options!

January 2025 Comfort Korean noodle soup for a cool night. Not much meat but warm broth was flavorful. Kimchi was pretty spicy compared to others. However, home made noodle soup has a large portion. We revisit this restaurant often.

I visited Um Ma Son Arirang Korean Kitchen in Carrollton and really enjoyed the food! Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and flavorful — just like a home-cooked Korean meal. The portions were generous, and the side dishes were a great complement to the mains. Overall, a great spot for authentic Korean comfort food in Carrollton. I’ll be back!

Hard to find good Korean food when you are a vegetarian, but this place was great. Had many veg options, and the owner tried to help as much as she could to suggest what to eat and what not to.
