Day-um! I did not expect such great Korean food in Texas lol. I stopped in for lunch on a biz trip and was blown away. Not an extensive menu but everything i had was fresh and delicious. Was surprised also at the size of the portions, even the side dish snack bowls were Texas sized! Very good value for money. Will return
Local Korean diner in the heart of Asian Legacy shopping center. The greatest appeal of Maht Gaek is that it is the only Korean restaurant in the shopping center minus the stalls in the food court. The food here is good, not great.The average grade here is due to the fact that you can get most of the equivalent and comparable quality food at Sokongdong Tofu in the Legacy Food Court for less than here if ambiance is not important to you. The grilled food is good but not quite to the levels of those in Carrollton or Dallas's Harry Hines Korean district. That being said, the grilled pork ribs were excellent. In summary, Maht Gaek is tailored for those who live in Collin County and want Korean food without the hassle of driving to Carrollton or Harry Hines in Dallas
What a 'hidden' gem, if you like Korean food! Located right behind Chase bank. Great quality authentic Korean cuisine, with generous portions at reasonable prices. I tried the spicy mackerel and wasn't disappointed. Get there when they open or you'll be standing in line-but it's worth the wait. The establishment isn't large so be prepared to get cozy.
Saturday night was very busy. Walk in at 6:30 pm and waited until 7 pm to be seated. But foods were served very quick. It’s one of my favorite Korean restaurants which I keep coming back.
It was a fun family reunion. Delicious food, cost-effective food and Friendly staff.
The food was excellent, we had the ribs, pancake, and the Korean army stew. This is served family style, there were 4 (2 teenage boys) of us, we left full and had some leftovers. The service was fast and friendly.
The Food Here is AMAZING and Reasonably priced too.My family (2 adults and 2 kids) always leave so full and satisfied. I have tried most of their menu and you can't go wrong with your choice.Maht gaek is literally less than 10 mins from where we live so it's very convenient for us to dine in or ordersomething for to go.Friendly staff and clean bathrooms is always a plus!
I’ve been regularly visiting this restaurant since it opened a few years ago - it was the best option for Korean in the area for a long time. Recently visited and portions seem to have shrunken by half. I mentioned this to the waiter and the chef came out to tell us she cut the meat herself and this is how it has always been. I don’t blame the waitstaff - they’re doing their best. Used to be worth the money, hard to say the same now.
Love the pork ribs, gamjatang, seafood pancake, and spicy stirred squid. Will i come back to this place again? Heck yes! I've been eating here for a quite sometime now and have enjoyed the food every single visit. ?
Great place for some Korean style ribs. Their cold noodles and tofu stew are amazing! Clean and fast, polite service. Definitely will be going back and recommend others to try it out!
