After following and seeing Mikey Chen's vids, I bookmarked Ddong Ggo.
Despite the plastic spoons, Ddong Ggo TX gets my 5 stars. Lets talk about the spoons later. D-dong G-go, definitely lets go when in Texas!! Been here twice and I really enjoyed my 2nd visit more.
When I first visited back in April of 2021 ( without the other half) we were a party of 10 and remembered they were super busy. Food was mediocre and service wasn't the greatest. When I shared with my other half the Mikey Chen vid and my photos, he was jealous & wanted to try here. Few trips back to Texas we didn't have a chance to dine here and he kept asking about it so finally happened.
Recently, March 25 2022 was the day, worked out perfect, arrived at this of part of Korea town at Carrollton Texas for an early dinner, about 6 pm. The restaurant wasn't filled yet but they got busy when we left. The waiter was going to put 5 of us in a tiny round table which we requested to have to 2 tables together. Thank you for accomodating our request, he moved us to the front of the restaurant which was so much better, less noise and a little quiet from the crowd. I like that Ddong has a button for service, we did utilized that a few times.
What we ordered:
We had to get the Cheese Island ( $30.) WOW, one of the items on vid., made me want to go here badly. Comes with fried chicken wings, corn, fries and yes lots of cheese. It was fun eating this seeing the cheese melt in front of you. note, the chicken is a little bland if you don't eat it with cheese. I mixed a little of the spicy sauce from the bbq chicken dish.
spicy BBQ Chicken, with veggies and more cheese. this dish is ok, not my favorite. I had to get use to eating BBQ chicken with cheese.
Kim Chee Fried Rice, the waiter pours the egg ( not cheese) on bottom of fried rice and its so cool, how the egg cooks in front of you. Taste like fresh kim chee fried rice, there are 2 types of egg.
Bulgogi, my other half mentioned that this is his favorite dish out of the 4.
For our cocktails, we got the lychee soju and I loved the Lychee Soju with popping boba.
& about the plastic spoons, we needed spoons to scoop up the cheese, chicken, fried rice but it was really hard to use the plastic spoons. We had a hard time getting the cheese and since is a hot pot, I was worried about it melting the spoon. I really wish you provide us real spoons instead.
All in all, we had a great time despite the spoons. My other half is happy, makes me happy too, he finally got to visit & YES. I will be back again!
