Fantastic idea of a restaurant: a fine combination of smoothie place mixed with Hawaiian-Asian style food.

When you first walk in, it can be confusing because the first thing you'll see is a smoothie bar and then you'll look around and see the ordering counter is in the way back. But even so the place look pretty nice. As you can see, the ordering progress can be, again, a little confusing because you have to choose what goes in to your order, but the staffs are very helpful and will guide you to create a delicious Hawaiian bowl. Oh, the staffs here are very nice, from front of the house to back of the house, when you enter, you will be greeted by the chef well they will yell "welcome" in Japanese from the back....lol.

I'm a big fan of clean water, and this place goes a little further by having a citrus water.... that's pretty neat!

This is a salad mix with gochujang which is very fresh and delicious. Having the salad base is good because you also feel really healthy eating them and it's very filling.

Ponzu sauce is a trend right now, and this bowl doesn't disappoint, so fresh, so delicious that makes you want more and more.

The absolute golden star of this place in my opinion is their drinks!!!! They even surpass their delicious food. One of the best mango smoothie I've ever had!!! So creamy, refreshing and delicious! Also, their drinks like Lychee lemonade is so unique and delicious, not too sweet like many places ....worth every penny.

I never understand how can Texans keep coming up with such awesome ideas and creativity. It's so awesome that it's so hard not to eat out everyday T_T 

Thank you for being awesome you make us Asians proud.... lol -b ^_^ -b

When was the last time you get the sensation of "this is it, this is the best of the best, this is heaven"? Jin Korean BBQ is the crown jewel of all Korean BBQ on this planet earth. Why you ask? Because they are cheapest, most delicious, and no old Korean ladies look over your shoulder to rush you and to tell you what you're doing wrong and gossip about you with their friend. It has a very nice atmosphere, and it is absolutely do it yourself!!! No more having to keep asking people to bring you meat (and they will reply "I don't think you can finish them all get something else").

Lunch $14.99/person Dinner $19.99/person for AYCE Korean BBQ!!!??? Are you kidding me!? So amazingly cheap compared to everywhere else. You might think "oh, it's cheaper than everywhere else so that means their quality is also lower." NO!!!! I assure you that with this price you will also get the best quality!

Very beautiful ambiance. 

That light switch right there is used when you need to call your waiter.

Meats are well marinated and absolutely delicious! No dipping sauce needed.

Their hot foods are also very delicious, in fact, they are better than most places even though this is buffet hot food!!!

I absolutely adore their concept of do-it-yourself. From going to get the food yourself to grilling them yourself, it's so much better when you are with your friends and just having a good time without people coming over to bother you all the time and keep rushing you to get out so they can get new customers. The staff is so great because they will leave you alone unless you switch on the light to call them or your grill starts to smoke and needs to be changed. The additional items with no extra charge, such as LA Ribs, are also sensational! 

The waiter will keep an eye on your grill from far away so that it won't bother you, and will promptly change to a new one right away when it starts to smoke.

This is sik-hye, the sweet rice ginger drink to finish your journey. It will help you digest after a large meal and make you feel refreshed.

Jin Korean BBQ is the avatar of all of Dallas Korean BBQ. Cheap, clean, delicious, and awesome service. Every item is delicious. It will one of your best memories.

A take-out concept restaurant for Thai food lovers. Tastes authentic and enormous portions!

It might look like the price is very high, but the portion size is probably enough to feed 4 people. So if you want good food, order one item and share it with couple of friends.

The inside looks nice and you can see the kitchen.

You can order and eat inside but it's highly not recommend because it's small and the food comes in to-go box, and the seat is not comfortable. But again, this place is for take-out.

Their iced coffee is delicious!

Pad Thai was so delicious and authentic tasting, with super size portion. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the seasoning is perfect.

Pad Kee Mow( Drunken Noodle) very delicious and aromatic, but not as spicy as you can get in Thailand, but it's all good because you don't want it to be unbareable spicy.

This little take out place is legitimate and authentic highly recommend!

If you live in Texas, you know that we are famous.....very famous.....for fried catfish! We probably have the best fried catfish in the whole universe, and if you are visiting Texas, know that you won't get any better than Babe's.

Babe's chicken dinner house is the gem in the heart of downtown Carrollton, where the magic happens. Anything deep fried is better in Texas. This restaurant is quite big and has a family holiday feel to it. There is no place better than this restaurant to celebrate a family reunion or any type of family celebration in warm heart style.

As you can see, the decoration is perfect for holiday spirit and very family-like. The only problem is that the furniture is kind of worn out, but that's not really a big deal because their food is just sensational.

You will get unlimited sides with a purchase of entree.

Start off with the salad, it's just plain and simple greens, but the dressing is so gooooooood!

Biscuits are irresistible!!!! So damn good, very buttery, crispy on the outside soft on the inside. 

This is the pinnacle of fried catfish! The best one I've ever had in my life as of now. Most places other than Texas, when they fried their fish, most likely the breadcrumb will burned or if not burned the fish will not have cooked. But here, especially Babe's chicken dinner house, it's perfect: the breadcrumb is a beautiful golden-brown and the catfish is cooked perfectly. The freshness of the fish and tasty frying oil and breading flavor is too good!

Their fried chicken is absolutely sensational; the meat is incredibly moist, every part of the meat is tasty and juicy, super crunchy on the outside moist and soft on the inside. One of the best fried chicken in forever!

Hands down the best mash potatoes you will ever have in your life, and I'm dead serious. Extremely creamy, buttery and aromatic with delicious gravy on top, oh man it's heaven!

I've always heard people keep saying doggy bag....I never understand what that means, and now I do. They keep it old school: if you have left over they have a DOGGY BAG for you to pack and take home, funny? Yes, but awesome.

Babe's chicken dinner house is an awesome experience that is a must for any family. Trust me, they will make you really cherish your lovely family, and your family will cherish each other.
