Ko Korean Grill

The beef is delicious, tender and cooks quickly. While the restaurant is quite cold, the burner helped to warm things up a bit. Our waitress was informative and friendly. I sampled their specialty drink in multiple flavors and ordered a bottle to go. I promise the bottle tasted nothing like my shot glasses. The bottle definitely packs a punch, while the samples taste like juice. The salad dressing is good and so are their KFC wings. There are so many photo opps here!! Just be sure to have your light accessory, as some areas are dim. Overall, we were thoroughly pleased with every aspect of the dining experience!!! Looking forward to returning.

A hidden gem that I discovered was KO Korean BBQ. It’s not a big restaurant but it has enough room that you aren’t elbow to elbow. The ambiance is also quite nice. This restaurant allows you to cook your own food or have the chefs do so for you! I got spicy pork, LA short ribs, and sliced beef this trio is enough for 2 to eat as it comes on a sizzling platter along with an assortment of small sides that vary day by day. Now I will say the Spicy KO wings were an appetizer however they could easily be a main dish, these wings blew my mind as they are perhaps the best wings I have had!

Absolutely amazing! The food was delicious and the service was somehow even better! This is a hidden gem in Beaumont, TX! You will not be disappointed! Do you crave something unique and different? This is the place for you! We tried almost every appetizer, and they were all fantastic! Stephanie, our bartender was the best I’ve ever had! She was fun, helpful, kind, and attentive! Edit: I went back today so I could try an entrée, and it didn’t disappoint! I got the spicy pork, and it was tender, seasoned nicely, and not too spicy! The salad was also delicious! All of the ingredients were fresh, and I appreciated that they actually used green lettuce instead of just iceberg.

I was looking for a spot to have Korean in Beaumont and this place popped up so I was shocked there was not many. I was amazed the food and of course I had to have Soju while enjoying with my family the music 🎶 oh men BTS ringing in my ears 🙌🏻💜 perfectly match 🫶🏻thank you for having us. I highly recommend it.

I have been wanting to come to this restaurant for months and my husband and I finally made it. I had the BEST time! I loved the atmosphere and service was excellent. Our waiter was outstanding! We went for lunch and I couldn't believe the special. All you can eat! For an amazing price! I was very excited to try Korean fried chicken and I was not disappointed! The BEST chicken wings I have ever eaten. I loved cooking at the table and with the lunch special, there are so many options to try! We had the chicken, sirloin, pork chops, brisket and beef belly. All very good. This is my new favorite restaurant. I am telling all of my friends and family. You MUST try

Food was excellent, we chose to cook our own at the table. More than enough servings we had the marinated ribeye . The beef egg roll are awesome our waitress got held up at the bar, so the manager waited on us to help her out will definitely be back.

Bulgogi was delicious 10/10. Rice cakes was also delicious but I could care less for the cheese on top. Kimchi stew was pretty good didn’t have a strong base taste but together with the rice cakes and bulgogi, it was smooth going down. Definitely recommend this spot if you’re in Beaumont. My entire me was only $33 with taxes.

This place is so much fun, love their food whenever I can get it: restaurant, delivery or the food truck. The meats can be cooked fresh on the table’s grill, or you can ask for some to be cooked in the kitchen and brought out. If not in the mood for traditional grill, my favorite dish is not on regular menu at the restaurant, but always at the food truck: the nachos. Best nachos in Beaumont if you want some creative flavors. Also great is the kogi burger and the sandwiches. Bar had good options too, and variety of soju and soju cocktails

Tonight was a great night here. It wasn't packed and the music wasn't too loud. It's a super chill relaxed place to gather with friends and family to chat and eat. We started off with the rice cake and pork dumplings. The rice cake was new to me. I like it but my favorite part was the mozzarella. The dumplings are really good just be careful cause it's served hot and fresh. The dipping sauce was amazing. Kimchi Stew - So much flavor, omg I just wanted to pick up the bowl and drink from it. It had just the right amount of spice. We got the Pork Combo A. Everything was marinated. The trick is to get the hot plate sizzling hot so you can get a good sear on both sides. Brooke was our waitress and was very kind and prompt with with service. Thank you for being attentive.

Wow, what an experience. This place will be my new go-to for lunch. I can not explain the amazing flavors. We had the all you can eat option for lunch, and let me tell you, I can not stop dreaming of those appetizer fries... so simple but with this garlicy aioli and bulgulgi on top, it was out of this world. The Japchae not only intrigued my palate, but I was too scared it would be the item that would fill me up too fast before I got to the meats. It was too good to pass up. The pit centers a table full of intriguing tastes, from kimchi, cucumbers, bean sprouts, and an intriguing potato salad. The meats were also amazing, bulgulgi marinated chicken spicy pork, beef/pork belly, and calamari... though I didn't try the calamari. Service, too, was on point. Quan was our first server for our initial visit. He hit the experience out of the park. We went again our second time, and our server "I wish I remembered her name" was also a TKO.. knocked us to the floor with the service. If you're looking to impress...KO Korean BBQ is where it's at!!!

Our office ordered lunch to go today. Food was exceptional!!! Staff was very friendly and even helped walked my order to the car for me. Most of our staff hadn't eaten here before with some never having Korean food. ALL of them said they will definitely go back with their families. The only pic we remembered to take was of the sampler. We demolished it! Thanks Ko Korean! We LOVED IT!

We ordered quite a bit to share among 3 people. But everything was so good! The tacos weren’t that great but the marinated short ribs were delicious! Great flavor! The cheesy corn and glass noodles were so yummy! The bulgogi egg rolls reminded me of Philly cheesesteak just crispy. The jalapeño mule was SO SPICY! But good 😋

Deloris Peloquin

Excellent food and great service. However, nothing was spicy, even the menu items marked spicy. Will definitely be a regular customer though. Hubby and I shared and it was plenty of food. The salad and the tray of sides are all you can eat.

Had a warm welcome, and we tried out their All You Can Eat menu. You get 2 meat choices first, and side dishes are unlimited. After that explore. The chicken, bulgogi, calamari, spicy marinated pork, and marinated pork chop were amazing. The beef belly and beef briskets were okay plain, but in them 3 sauce they give you, it taste good.

Amazing. You can cook your own or have them cook it for you. Many options for customizing your food experience. Appetizers are amazing, the KO Sampler is recommended for first timers! Definitely recommend.

I sat at the bar and ordered lunch and it was great. We both had Beto Box??? Steak,chicken or pork. Came with a salad and then they brought a wooden box filled with dumplings, rice, brocolli, kimchi, potato salad, and the meat with a dipping sauce !! People were so nice and the box was healthy and so good! 10 dollars and I had leftover for lunch the next day !

Visit this beautiful place if you are budget conscious and want to eat good delicious meals. There’s no wait time, friendly staff and clean environment! I definitely will come here anytime I am in Beaumont!!😊

We arrived right at 4:30pm and were the first table there. Unfortunately the service was super slow from the start. We had to continue to ask for refills and napkins. We asked for salt but that never come, they may not have table salt because there isn’t any on the tables. The egg rolls were good, dumplings my daughter enjoyed but the rest of the table did not. The rice cakes were good as well. My daughter enjoyed her fried rice, husband had the same but with shrimp and he said it was not the best he’s eaten. My son enjoyed his army strew? But said it needed some spice and salt. The kim Chi soup was not it y’all lol I had the noodles with the egg and it was okay. A little salt or some garlic/chili oil would have made it better. We are just used to foods being heavily seasoned and these just were not. They also have Korean BBQ which looked pretty good and come with quite a few things to dip it in (noticed as we were leaving) and wished we were given that option and we would have gladly paid.

I found the food and service to be quite good but I am used to eating Korean BBQ that is all you can eat. With that being said, I found this place to be over priced and for that reason, I won't be going back. The bathroom was awkward, I didn't like sharing a table with others and I wish they had offered to change our grill. The table next to us ordered wagu and seafood which apparently gets your superior service. At the end of the day my waitress was good and the food was tasty.

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened. The food is amazing 98% of the time. When it first opened the staff was impeccable now there's some staff there that I really don't care for they always have a dry attitude and said staff when working the bar will just disappear for long periods of time. I've been wavering back and forth for a couple of years about just stopping coming here because of the service. And tonight took the cake for me. I sit down at the bar I order my food while waiting for my food I smell bleach. I asked the guy when he come back I was like are you cleaning with bleach and he said yeah. So we moved me from the bar to the dining room and I start to eat my food. I can smell all bleach again so I get up and move to the farthest spot in the restaurant and try to start eating my food again. A few minutes by and here comes a guy with a bucket full of bleach water to mop the floors. It's still a 45 mins/half an hour before the restaurant closes. I have health issues where I cannot be around chemicals. So I told them just forget about it cash me out give me to go box. So now I'm sitting in a parking lot eating my food my vehicle. When I was growing up we waited until everyone left the restaurant and then we would clean so people don't have to smell that while they're eating it's extremely disrespectful. So I think I'm just about done KO. Such a shame I really love their food. I know the owner from over the years and he's a really nice guy. And I know that he opened up a new restaurant in Port Neches but I really hope that he will get back on track and not neglect his other restaurant.

I drove about 30 minutes to finally try this restaurant and arrived around 7:50 PM. Online listings and Google show the restaurant is open until 9:00 PM, but I was told at the host stand that they were closing early because business was slow. I understand slow nights happen, but posted hours should be honored, or updated in real time, especially for a locally owned business that depends on community support. Turning customers away nearly an hour before closing, without notice, reflects more on management and policies than on front-of-house staff. This was disappointing because I was genuinely looking forward to trying your restaurant and supporting a local business. I hope ownership is aware this is happening and will address it, because consistency and respect for customers’ time are just as important as good food
