I recently dined at Omi Korean BBQ in Carrollton and had a mixed experience. While the lady at the front hosting was kind, my interaction with a mid-50s Korean lady with short black hair left me feeling uncomfortable. Her attitude made the atmosphere less welcoming. However, I must admit that the food was fantastic. The meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, and the side dishes complemented the meal well. Despite the great food, the negative interaction with the staff member overshadowed my enjoyment. It's disappointing that such behavior tainted an otherwise enjoyable dining experience. Overall, while the food was great, the service left much to be desired.

This has been our go-to place for many years! However, sadly it's going down in service, quality and atmosphere.We were there with a large party (12 people) last Saturday April 6th.1) The food was overall good (not sure why we had to ask for Salad leaves, when ordering Galbi-gui 갈비구이? They always are/were included. Strange)2) The Service was horrible: Every 20min an attendant yanked out the grill-plates ( I know, they DO need periodic change-out) regardless if anything was grilling on it or not. If meat was on it, the person just shoved it onto the new grate. They are very hurried - One of them knocked over a full beer bottle in the process, spilling beer on me and another guest - no sorry, no excuse, just moved on and we had to wipe up the mess. No server came to help.Lastly: one lady (blue Polo shiret, covid face mask) that was exceptionally unfriendly came over and complained that we were not grilling the last 6 strips of Galbi. While I mentioned that we were trying to take a "break" and pause for a few she just grabbed the tongues and threw some Galbi strips on the bbq. When I asked her to "Stop!" she shrugged her shoulders , rolled her eyes and just walked away. Awful.3) Many -modern- Korean BBQ restaurants (in Seoul and now also in the US) have this over-the-grill-exhaust system (flexible vents that can be lowered or raised) to keep smoke at a minimum. Not Omi.The whole room was so filled with fumes, everyone has to go home, shower (wash hairs) and change clothes.Look at the pictures, you can see the smoke in the air.I am sorry, Omi, it's been a nice run (almost 8 years!) or patronage but sadly we decided to move on and find another place. Service has deteriorated to an super-unfriendly level and the ambience is intolerable smoky.Good luck.

The wings here were really good baked. However, they are on the sweeter side. Yet, I really enjoyed the wings & fries here.

Attentive service with an amazing clean beef taste. With a party of 11 everything went by smooth and tasty. 2 under 6, and 9 guest 11 and over a private room was set to accommodate the walk in within minutes of arriving.

Great food and service. Omi is my preference for when I’m craving Korean BBQ
The meat quality was not the best. Side dishes options were very limited. You have to ask for almost everything. We have a group of 22, so they put some of us at a separate table. That was understandable. our table of four got decent service, but the rest of friends got the cold shoulder after a few rounds of order.Be prepare for a very slow dinner because they change the grill very very very often. Why does this matter; it’s because every time you get a new grill you have to wait for the grill to heat up to the right temperature all over again.

Came here for lunch on Sunday two weeks ago for AYCE kbbq. The meat quality was okay— our pieces were tough and lacking flavor even though we didn’t cook it for too long. I’ve visited other kbbq spots in the area that’s are comparable in price and the meat quality and flavor was markedly better.Pros are that the banchan was generous and that they frequently changed out the grilling plates, which was nice.The service was okay as well, we often felt rushed as the wait staff would frequently come ask us to order more meats even when we told them we were going to pause and eat the meats we just cooked. Each table has a two hour maximum and the restaurant wasn’t fully occupied therefore I didn’t understand the need to be pushed along (we were only there for one hour). May go back for another try since Omi has been one of our favorites for over ten years !

I LOVE this place!!! I have eaten at multiple Korean places, and this one wins by a landslide! I go here every year for my birthday dinner. The food is amazing, the staff is always great and the environment is awesome. I highly recommend. If you don't know what to get, get the beef bulgolgi! You won't be disappointed.
