Jang Choong Dong Bellaire — Restaurant in Houston

Jang Choong Dong Korean Restaurant is one of the most authentic Korean dining experiences in town, specializing in the best meats and soups. The restaurant is named after a place in Korea known for its popular pig meat dishes, and the owner has successfully brought that authentic taste here.

One highlight is their varietirs of soup, which has a distinct flavor that may be unfamiliar at first but is absolutely delicious. The authenticity is evident, attracting many Korean patrons who frequent the restaurant. The unique and delicious sauces pair perfectly with the dishes, allowing you to create wraps with the provided lettuce, vegetables, meats, garlic, and jalapeños. This makes for a healthy meal, rich in collagen and nutrients.

The meats and vegetables are always incredibly fresh, as seen in the photos I took. The soups are meticulously brewed, likely for a long time, resulting in rich and flavorful broths. There are several varieties to choose from, and the Galbi (Korean BBQ short ribs) is particularly fresh and perfectly cooked. Additionally, the pork blood rice noodle sausage is a popular Korean dish that's hard to find in Houston.

Overall, Jang Choong Dong offers one of the best and most authentic Korean dining experiences, especially enjoyable with Asian friends. While the flavors may require some getting used to for first-timers, the more you try, the more you'll fall in love with it. I'll definitely be...

We went here because we love Jokbal and Bossam!!

The Jokbal - seasoned (with spices, onions, garlic, and fruits) sliced pig trotter with layers of meat/fat/skin had good flavor but not enough salt and our family eats low salt. We like to dip a piece of jokbal in samjang paste or the sauce with tiny baby shrimps in it, place it on a piece of lettuce, add a sliced garlic and jalapeño. Wrap it up and pop it in your mouth.

The Bossam is usually boiled pork belly that has all three layers of meat/fat/skin. It is usually eaten oyster kimchi but here we ate it with a few pieces of banchan pickled sides and wrapped in steamed napa cabbage leaves. The meat was also bland. I understand that there is salty dipping sauce to flavor each bite. However, if the meat is boiled with not enough salt, it will become so bland that you will feel as if something is missing while you’re chewing it- regardless how much you dip in the sauce. Also, the bossam we got had no fat at all so it felt a little “dry”.

The sides, seafood pancake, and spicy seafood tofu soup was all good. The pork neck bone had a herbal flavor in there that was new to me. The service was prompt. The restroom was clean. Since it’s at the Welcome market center, you will be able to find parking space.

Also, please be forewarned: Kitchen closes at 8:50P though the doors...

I’ve been dining here for over 2 years, so I’m pretty much a regular lolol. Honestly don’t know why I never wrote a review, but I love this restaurant.

My go-to dishes are always M8 and M9, which are the grilled beef with soybean paste soup and blood sausage with pork intestines soup. They are such good deals and taste great tbh.

I’m not korean, so I’m not super cultured about traditional korean foods. But the grilled beef - Galbi - here is always so good. Like for a restaurant that isn’t specialized in Korean barbecue, so good. The portions are great too. Their meat is way better than Tofu Village lolol and is a better deal. I always ordered lettuce, soybean paste, and garlic+jalapeno with it.

Another food that I love here is the kimchi. The kimchi is SO GOOD. I think they’re fresh kimchi instead of the regular one that is fermented for months to get a sour taste. The kimchi here is super fresh and very sweet that I love.

My mom always enjoys the pork intestines soup. Honestly idk what else to say because I’ve been here for so long and I just love it.

I’ve tried other dishes like Jok Bal, M3, and M5 which are all very good. This is an awesome restaurant to come in on chilly days because eating hot soups when it’s cold is awesome.

Overall, I love this restaurant and would always come back. I’d probably invite...
