Dong Chun Hong

This is a Korean-​inspired Chinese restaurant so the menu is going to look different than what you typically see at Chinese restaurants. Although they do have the basic orange chicken and such, they have a very wide variety of noodle soup dishes and entrees. I have been here many times and many of their food are very good and flavorful!
Out of their food that I’ve tried, I didn’t like their jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup), which is one of the most popular food to order at places like this. They use their homemade noodles in their noodle soups but I find the noodles to be too thick and chewy that prevents the spicy broth of the jjampong to seep in to the noodle, making it not as flavorful. Their noodles taste fine in their dishes like jajangmyeon though, because that’s a saucy noodle dish instead of soup.
Other than that, other dishes that I’ve tried there are so good! I especially recommend their sweet and sour pork and seafood dishes like palboche. Their food are packed in flavor and the portions are big! This is probably the best Korean style Chinese food you can get in DFW.

People complaining on this restaurant have major mental issues. I came in on a very busy Sunday lunch. Staff greeted me with a friendly smile, gave out the menu. I ordered 2 small jja jang myun and 2 small jjang ppong (the only restaurant that offers a small version, they automatically deserve a 5 for this), 1 tang soo yook, and 1 kkang poong gi. The tang soo yook came out to our table, crispy and fresh, within minutes. I was amazed at how fast the food came. The texture and firmness on the noodles was perfect, as was the spicy seafood broth of the jjang pong. The jja jang myun was great. THe kkang poong gi was very crisp, with the slight garlic flavor its known for. I will come here whenever I have a Chinese Korean craving.

We came here for lunch on a Saturday and ordered the large jjajangmyun + jjampong combo to share for two.
I’m not the biggest fan of jjajangmyun, but this place has one of the best that I’ve tried. It’s not too sweet, and the noodles were al dente and chewy.
We didn’t know what jjampong was, but a we saw a lot of recommendations for it. Turns out it’s a spicy seafood noodle soup.
The combo is great because jjajangmyun on its own can be a little too heavy, but the jjampong cuts it just right.
The menu is not very informative, as there were tons of selections with similar descriptions. I sat there looking at it for a good 10 mins and ended up settling on jjajangmyun because that was the only thing I knew.

Great food and attentive and quick service! Loved their jjampong especially. Everything we got was tasty-​seafood platter (palbochae), mapo tofu and jjampong. Their fried dumplings are also excellent. Two thumbs up!

Made a carry out order. Drove 20 minutes or so to get my order, but they end up giving me the wrong one. Found out once I got back, gave them a call, and get told that it’s my fault when they were the ones who gave me the food without asking what I ordered, which made me assume I was the only customer who called for a carry out order. Then they say come and switch the order. Like they’re gonna pay for my gas. Never mentioned anything about a refund or whatsoever. Great service

I have mixed feelings about this place. I’m a sucker for jjajangmyun and the kanpung chicken (garlic chicken) but their garlic chicken is so pricey!!! It’s $ 16.50 for the chicken and for some reason I never know how I feel about it since it’s usually a hit or a miss (sometimes it’s super crispy… and sometimes it feels like they microwaved it).
If you can’t choose what you want I highly recommend you getting one of their combo!- The jjajangmyun and jjamppong one in particular.
Overall, it’s not the best Korean-​Chinese place but it’s pretty good considering the other options in the area.

The food is so good! But the boss/​worker is really rude. He speaks in like a careless tone and he is extra mean to students who dont have much money. He is very judgemental. But the food is good! :)

We tried jjagangmyun and a stir fried bell pepper with steamed Chinese bread. None of them were impressive. Their steamed Chinese bread was worst among others that I’ve tried. I won’t visit here again.

I ordered zzamppong and sweet and sour pork. Those tastes good to me. Noodle is spicy enough with lots of seafood. Pork dish is crispy, and the veggies cooked fresh.
The best thing is the reasonable price. Noodles in small size is 5.99ish!
^^

Their food is good but their service sucks. I got their jjajangmyun and the sweet and sour pork. Both dishes were pretty good! Their portions are fairly large. I ordered a small jjajangmyun and a regular sweet and sour pork and it was enough for my family of 3. Every single time I’ve been here it always takes a while for the waiters to seat us. It’s also really hard to get their attention especially if you’re sitting at one of the tables inside the rooms. Try to come earlier but overall I think it’s worth the semi-​bad service.

Came here to try jjajangmyun and jjambong.
Price: Cheap for a bowl of either one. Would come back just to fill my stomach for cheap price.
Taste: Recommend jjajangmyun (black bean paste noodles) over jjambong. Jjambong lacked the deep flavor and tasted too much like water and spicy pepper.

Pretty good Korean styled Chinese food! Had the jja jang myun/​jjam bong combination, and loved it. The jjam bong had a good spicy broth that I love, and was one of the best that I’ve had outside of Korea. I think this place has better food than dong bo sung down in Harry Hines. However, there is a down side to this place… Service. This place has sub standard service in my opinion. My water was hardly ever getting filled, and when I finally asked for more water, the owner/​server looked somewhat annoyed. Anyway, I will still come back if I want some good Korean styled Chinese food in Carrollton area.

Korean-​Chinese place. Jjajjangmyun seems to be the specialty, along with Tangsuyuk. I usually get the ½−½ combo…½ Jjajangmyun and ½ Tangsuyuk. I think it’s $ 10.
I think the Tangsuyuk is pretty darn good. It’s fried nicely and it’s not drenched in sauce. But there is enough sauce so you can dip if you want it saucier. Jjajangmyun is good, not great.
Service is pretty terrible. You have to wave your hands and be aggressive if you want any attention. Hrmm, I had started off at 4-​stars but decided to knock it down to 3-​stars after I realized how sucky the service was.
I’ve been here several times and will most likely return. Jjamppong is pretty good too and they have a ½ Jjajangmyun and ½ Jjamppong combo also.

On May 14^th, 2014, I came to this restaurant and it was not the #Hype.
The service was terrible. They messed up our orders and basically told us to deal with it. I almost died of thirst because they didn’t refill my water until I asked them for the 4^th time (Not literally dying). Overall the service wasn’t that hot and the server had a sour attitude.
However the jjangbong was delish and that is why I would give this place a 2 star. The jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk are mediocre considering the price.
Honest opinion, haters gonna hate #RealTalk.

To start, I don’t know much about Korean-​Chinese food. I also don’t know if this place serves authentic Korean-​Chinese meals. But I do know that next time my friends say they want to come here, I’m running to the car, pulling whoever’s in the seat, and throwing them out so I can hitch a ride back to Dong Chun Hong! The place has won my heart and taste buds with some mean tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) and jajangmyeon (noodles with black bean sauce)~
There are a few dishes with Chinese influence, like the mapo tofu and Szechuan noodles, and the check comes with fortune cookies. But that’s pretty much all the Chinese-​ness I could pick out; no Chinese on the menu, menu items written in Korean are pasted to the walls, the wait staff were Korean, and the television had some Kpop madness going on (Super Junior, yay! :P).
No dazzling array of banchan /​side dishes here, but we were served some kimchi, raw onions, and the pickled yellow daikon that comes in kimbab as complimentary appetizers Most of the prices were pretty high ($ 15+ a dish, omgah too expensive for us poor students coming to Ktown to frolic), but when I looked around and creeped at other people’s tables, it seemed like all the dishes are ginormous, most probably a foot in diameter! Stick with the combos to keep your wallet happy ^_​^ You get to try two dishes at once, gorge on huge portions, and the food is super tasty. So when I first saw the photos on Unilocal of the combo plates, I was just excited that I could try more food at once. But when the waiter placed the bowls on the table with a resounding, definite thud, both my friend and I just sort of stared for a few seconds. Check out the iPhone on the side for size comparison in the photo– these combo plates are large and in charge– bowls were probably a bit more than 3 inches deep! Both of us ate half of our orders were able to take the rest of it back for another meal: D
As for the food itself, this stuff is delish! You know General Tso’s chicken from Panda Express? Tangsuyuk is similar but even yummier (and I love, love Panda Express– traitor to my heritage, I know T-​T). The pork meat strips were thick and not over-​battered, and that sauce– oh lawdy! Sweet and thick, but it had a «cleaner» taste. I didn’t feel gross and whale-​like after lunch. They used corn syrup, but not the high fructose version, so it’s healthy… er… okay, who am I kidding, but it’s so worth it!~ According to my too-​legit-​to-​quit friend from Korea, tangsuyuk and jajangmyeon are usually eaten together.
Our water glasses stood empty quite a few times, but there is a water dispenser near the kitchen even though the workers also came to refill our glasses sometimes. There are takeout boxes on a shelf for you to grab to take home any leftovers. The atmosphere isn’t super happy or special, and the tables are kind of sticky. But I would come back for the food. Super excited to finish the leftovers for dinner tonight, yayyy nom nom~ Check this restaurant out! :3

w pregnancy comes a super heightened sense of taste and smell. In addition, to weird cravings, there are specific food aversions.
Although artificial sweeteners sometimes imparts a subtle aftertaste in my mouth; MSG usually just tastes like salty seasoning, but will leave me thirsty and lethargic afterwards. Usually, these two ingredients sometimes can go undetected, but unfortunately right now, my taste buds are extremely sensitive to artificial sweeteners and MSG. They taste okay while I’m chewing the food flavored w these ingredients, but afterwards, they leave a cheap aftertaste that just lingers on the back of my tongue.
Hubby picked up an order of jjajangmyun and jjambbong for me. I sampled a noodle from the box first. It was thick, chewy, and perfectly al dente. There was a very faint smell of oil, which they probably used to prevent the noodles from sticking.
So far, quite pleasant.
Then I mixed some of the noodles with the jjajangmyun sauce; not as salty as other places, and a bit sweet.
After swallowing, it was pretty apparent by the aftertaste that it had been flavored with MSG.
My daughter loves noodles and helped herself to the remaining portion in my bowl.
So I moved on to the jjambbong. The jjambbong didn’t smelly fishy and contained soft strips of curled calamari. There were a few pieces of shrimp, mussels, and shredded veggies as well. The broth was spicy and flavorful. I finished two small bowls of the jjambbong! Yes, there was a small amount of MSG in the broth as well, but very little, and not as much as there was in the jjajangmyun sauce.
Tasted like typical jjajangmyun and jjambbong from Korea that I used to eat at the Korean/​Chinese franchise locations, which were a step better than the ones I’d get delivered to my officetel.
Not exceptional, but not bad either.

Hands down they have good jja jang myun and ttang soo yook! They have an offer you where you can order both but in small portions, price is 10 dollars. It comes out in a divided bowl with one side jja jang myun and the other side is ttang soo yook. There are other combos you can choose from but this is far the best.
Here is a tip: when you order jja jang myun ask for a bowl of jjang bong soup, the two goes well together.

Jja jja myun was good, but the one in 35/​Royal is better. Better sauce overall.
I had ma poo tofu and tang soo yuke which was tasty, but had better in NYC (okay that wasn’t fair to say)
Thing is, it’s pricey for Chinese-​Korean food! Like $ 9.99 for each of us!
Sorry but won’t return, I’ll try the soon doo boo place or Charm Juke again.

YUM — the best jja jang myun & jjam bbong place I’ve been to. I’ve tried a place off of Harry Hines and I’ve tried the one in H-​mart. They’re both ok but I feel this place tastes more fresh and flavorful. My friend took me here on a Friday night and it was busy, but thank goodness they had one or two tables open. We didn’t know what we wanted to order because everything looked so good, but because she’s been here before I ordered what she ordered. Half jja jang and half jjam bbong. The food literally came out like in 2mintes — fast service! But I’m sure they have a whole pot made in the back since these are probably the two most popular dishes on the menu.
Looks are deceiving. When I saw my bowl I thought it wasn’t going to be much, but WOW. I was so surprised. The half half comes in a bowl that has 2 compartments. There were so many noodles on each side that I couldn’t finish either one. The jja jang was perfectly sweet n’ salty — definitely don’t like it when they make it too salty. The jjam bbong was perfectly spicy — not where I had to take a gulp of water for every bite. The price for this dish as well as the other dishes are very affordable, especially because they give you so much food. Very highly recommended and thanks to my friend — I have a new favorite restaurant to add to my list! :)

After I found out that DCH serves up a mean bowl of jjajangmyun, it’s my go to place north of the turnpike.
The reason why I like their version of jjajangmyun is because their noodles are a bit thicker than anywhere else. I’d say they’re thick as if not, are udon noodles. The black bean sauce has very acceptable amount of veggies and pork meat. If you’re not into swine, they also have beef and veggie based options available, too.
Also, if you get the combo number four, in addition to the jjajangmyun, it comes with a heaping portion of tangsooyuk which are batter-​dipped and fried strips of pork meat in a sweet and flavorful sauce. The veggies in it are cut into big chunks, but nothing your chopsticks can’t handle; has a lot of bell peppers, onions, and carrots. The way they make it tastes like my mom’s recipe. Mmmm, fond memories.
Every time I’ve dined here it’s always near closing time after I’ve been studying at a near by café. Once it hits 10pm they kind of hint that you need to gtfo. Nevertheless, I’m just glad I got to eat some of my favorite food.
