Dallas | My No. 1 Korean Spot — Amazing Food, Low Prices, No Tip! ☝️

Today I’m sharing what is, in my heart, the absolute best Korean restaurant in Dallas right now: AJUMMA SOONDAE DEDI (lovingly called “Ajunma” by regulars). This cozy, family-run spot offers authentic flavors, very fair prices, and — yes — no tipping required. It’s become my go-to Korean “all-rounder,” and I keep coming back for both dine-in and takeout. The more I eat here, the more I love it! 🍲 Must-Try Dishes 🥇 No. 2 순대국 Soondae Soup 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 My favorite on the menu! A rich, peppery pork broth loaded with blood sausage, pork stomach, and heart — zero! The soup has a touch of chili and veggies, served with multigrain rice. Comes with side dishes like marinated raw crab, kimchi, and pickled radish. Highly recommend! 🥈 No. 12 얼큰 순두부 Spicy Soft Tofu Stew 🌟🌟🌟🌟 A comforting, gently spicy tofu stew. Unlike some chain versions, the heat here is milder and well-balanced — perfect over rice. The tofu is silky, and it comes with two eggs (eat them fast before they overcook!). Feels like home-cooked comfort. 🥉 No. 20 해물우동볶음 Seafood Udon Stir Fry 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 If you’re not in a soup mood, get this stir-fried udon! Possibly the best I’ve had in Dallas — savory, slightly spicy, with perfectly chewy noodles and fresh seafood. Incredibly flavorful but not overwhelming. Clean-plate guarantee! 🍢 No. 26 떡볶이 Spicy Rice Cakes 🌟🌟🌟 Authentic spice level and flavor, though the rice cakes tend to be on the softer side. Great if you prefer tender tteokbokki! 🥜 No. 32 콩국수 Cold Bean Noodles A very light, savory soy milk noodle dish — refreshing in summer, but note: it’s salted soy milk broth, not sweet. An acquired taste but unique! No. 29 Fish Cake Soup (Eomuk Tang) 🍥 Honestly, the menu is pretty much no-fail — you can’t go wrong. 🧹 The Vibe & Practical Info No tipping — but please bus your own trays. #DallasEats #KoreanFoodDallas #AjunmaSoondae #NoTipRestaurant #DFWFood #ComfortFood
