Bols — Restaurant in Plano

I discovered Bols about a week ago, 10/31/20 and this is my second time here. Both times I called ahead and picked up, the customer service has been excellent both times.

I want to start off by saying it’s so refreshing to have an high quality KBBQ spot in West Plano. I mean don’t get me wrong, I love Korea Town in Carrollton but Bols is closer and parking is not an issue here.

The last two times I have made my own KBBQ Bols. I have only good things to say about the Bulgogi. It’s fantastic, there’s a real charcoal flavor - not that artificial stuff. I opted for Fried Rice as my base and had no regrets. Add an assortment of veggies for toppings and a runny sunny side up egg and you have a hearty meal all to yourself. I had one issue and I honestly won’t drop stars for it because why would I ruin it for everyone else: I felt like there was more Bulgogi than rice in my bol-both times. I feel guilty complaining about such a beautiful thing that happened to me twice.

Here’s a break down: -Bulgogi 5/5 -Fried Rice 5/5 -Assorted Veggies 5/5 -Sunny Side Egg 5/5

Overall Experience 6/5

I highly recommend checking this place out and supporting a small business, especially during these...

I really like this place. The only reason this review is not 5 stars is because of the service.

Typically when I walk in, even for a takeout order, there is someone to greet me and hand me my order. In this instance, there was not an employee in sight - not even behind the counter - and the order was just sitting out for anyone to take. That frustrated me a little, because if someone had taken my order, I wouldn’t have gotten my food.

Okay, with that out of the way, the food here was great! I grabbed a Chicken Bun and BBQ Beef Bibimbap with an added sunny side up egg and white rice. Wow! The chicken bun had good flavor, and the bun was so soft! The Bibimbap was a HUGE portion! I shared it with my mother, and we still had a third if it left. I really liked how they added a bunch of different things to it. When all mixed up, each bite had so many different flavors!

I’d love to come back and try their Pork Katsu, and also build my own ramen!...

After reading several positive reviews, we decided to try Bols. We love to try different Asian establishments amd were excited to try this one. They have pictures of several of their items on the wall to the left when you walk in and then the main menu above in front of you. My fiance ordered the bulgolgi tacos and chicken karrage. I ordered a miso Korean BBQ Ramen with curly noodles green onions, Brussel sprouts, and an extra egg with bulgolgi fries as a side. We thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered! My fiancé's bulgolgi tacos were so good! My Ramen broth was delicious and the Korean BBQ was soft and tender. The bulgolgi fries were amazing! The chicken karrage was a great side choice as well. The young gentleman who took our order was quite helpful amd they got our food to us quickly. We will definitely look forward to...
