Taste of Korea BBQ (Formerly: Burnin' Shell)

We took a chance on this place after finding it on Google Maps—it’s highly rated, and it did not disappoint. The service was excellent—Joseph assisted us and was very attentive, offering great suggestions. Their selection of banchan is impressive, with a wide variety to choose from. The meats are premium quality—tender and very flavorful. We also tried the army stew, which was fantastic. It’s not easy to find Korean restaurants that offer it. We will definitely be back to try other dish on the menu and highly recommend this place. 🙌

This is hands down the best Korean BBQ that I ever had in Chinatown. The meat is high quality, tender. Stan who is our server is amazing at his job explaining the menu and he make our food ready every single time. The service is AMAZING. We love our food , we got so full and took home the left over. It was a very good experience. I’d be back again! The owner is super nice as well he is Korean! You can tell this is very authentic by looking at all the side dishes. The restaurant just opened as korean bbq place for 3 months. Come support them if you are looking for a good Korean bbq place. You wont be disappointed!

I came here during lunch just to try it out. To my surprise it turned out one of my favorite korean bbq spot in Houston. The meat has a very high-quality compared to the other places that I’ve been to the service are amazing. They are a lot of authentic Korean barbecue side dishes. We order a meat combo, the cut are very thick and we couldn’t finish everything that we had to take a lot home. Overall, my experience has been very good and I will definitely come back again if you are looking for a authentic Korean barbecue place this is the spot. I strongly recommend this restaurant.

We finally found a spot in Houston that tastes truly authentic. Everything we tried was on point, and the flavors felt like the real deal. And the best part: the beef intestine. We used to have to go all the way to Dallas whenever we wanted good beef intestine, but now we can get it right here in HTX. Definitely coming back.

All of the staff here are so nice from the moment you stepped in until you leave the restaurant, they even willing to stand there and cook for you. Me and my family started off with the corn cheese, tteokbokki, chicken skewers, and fried chicken, they were all good except for the tteokbokki, the sauce needs a little more work. The steamed egg was also ok. We ordered the mixed premium set large and ngl it was a big portion still for 7 people, the meat quality was good. The set also comes with a soup. Now my favorite was the gopchang because the fatty from the large intestine was so good. And yes it is true, they do give you a lot of banchan and also refill them for you, too. Now I gotta go back and try the other dishes as well.

First time being at such an awesome Korean place in Houston. I love spicy but not the unhealthy, chemical kind — they use natural spicy ingredients. Super crispy rice seafood pancakes, perfect with drinks. And the restroom is clean and fancy. Love this place!

Best a la carte korean food ive been to in a long time! The meat is so tender and cooked to perfection. Out waiter Joseph is so attentive and recommended the best cut of beef, the woodae galbi! It is pricey but i felt it was worth it. Will definitely be back to try other cuts!
