Burning Rice

I enjoyed dinner at the Hurst location off highway 26. I got the hot stone bowl with glass noodles and veggies (Japchae style) and added the fried chicken bites (Gangjeong).

The food and service were excellent. I requested extra kimchi, and they happily obliged. The space is bright and clean. Highly recommended!

The food was great! If you don't want too much flavor. I would recommend getting rice to lighten it. We would go back again. I like their setup and the restaurant was very clean. I couldn't rate the service a five because, you don't interact with anyone. The food gets brought out after you use the kiosk.

Location close to mall and stores so a great spot to come to before and after. Parking right out front. Kiosk and option to order with a person available. I liked the kiosk since I could see everything and make it how I would prefer. It was all delicious! Even the kids bowl is a good amount of food. We tried the shrimp, meat, tofu and chicken and it was all great!

First visit. Delicious food! A big man. There's three digital kiosks to order from and that's it. Has a first time. It did take a little bit of time but I got through it with minimal issues. I did observe an older couple struggling to get through it.

I ordered the barbecue chicken with noodles in a hot stone bowl. Very tasty and I love how the stone bowl kept the food warm the whole time. I don't know if I'd do the hot stone bal bowl every time but I did enjoy it. There were four different sauces available to choose from, I tried the sesame and Korean barbecue and enjoy them both. Soy sauce and some type of spicy sauce. I will definitely come back!

My bowl cost around $15. Fountain drinks are around $2.50. I'm forgetting the name of the appetizer we got but it was similar to potstickers, crispy and very tasty. Around $4

Easily some of the best Korean food I’ve ever experienced. After lunch here, my husband and I kept saying we just wanted to go back to even sit and take in the aroma of the place. The food is fresh and delicious.

Bonus for you introverts or those just wanting quiet time to yourself- they have self ordering stations and you seat yourself.

WHAT THEY’RE KNOWN FOR: Korean food, their hot stone bowl dishes that makes the rice crispy “burning” rice.

Overall Rating: 11/10
- If you haven’t had Burning Rice yet, you are seriously missing out! One of the best and accessible Korean food spots located all over the DFW metroplex.
- The flavors are immaculate and I’ve been going here since 2017 and I always have a great meal here. They used to have a miso soup station but they took that away but still serve a side of miso soup with some dishes!
- Highly recommend trying their dumplings, the Mandoo noodle bowl was sooo good and the japchae at the bottom was chef’s kiss. I would recommend everything we ordered. This place packs a lot of flavor!
- A very reliable place for a good hot Korean food meal!

My husband and I went for dinner on a Sunday night about an hour before closing. As we walked in there was a large sign blocking the way to the counter. It told us to order at the kiosk. Thankfully we were used to those things. We chose to get a bowl. Then you have to choose if you want a regular bowl or one that comes with two pot stickers, fried, or one that is sizzling hot cast iron. My niece got that last time I went and it literally smelled like her food was burning as we ate. I guess that is why they call it Burning Rice, lol. You have to choose your rice or noodle, they have white, brown, or veggie rice, we chose noodles. then you choose your protein, we got bulgogi beef but they also had shrimp chicken, pork, tofu, etc. Next you choose your veggies or toppings. We chose carrots, broccoli, bean sprouts, another unknown item which turned out to be the noodle we already chose earlier, fish cake, which looked like sliced fried scrambled eggs, and nori, which is thinner than the carrot slivers we got. Ours was $13 but my husband chose extra meat so that was like $1.50 extra. We also got a 5pc. Honey Chicken wings for me and a Spicy order for my husband. They were around $7+ each We shared the bowl. Oh and I had to try the honeydew melon drink they had and my husband got a fountain drink. I think all in total our bill was $38. You grab your drink cup and a numbered metal thing next to the register and tell the computer your number. When you get to your table there is a bar that has sauces, chop sticks, utensils, condiment cups, straws and to go containers you can go up and get whatever you need or like, oh and of course a soda fountain. They bring your food to the table when it is done. As I knew he would my husband loved the spicy wings. They are soooo crispy! I love, love, love the honey wings! Best wings ever!!!! We were stuffed when we left and took two and a half wings home with us. My husband said we would probably go broke if he had one of these restaurants near his work. We will definitely be back as often as we can.

I found out about Burning Rice through Door Dash. I was amazed of how good the food was even though (as expected from door dash deliveries) the food was lukewarm at best.

The portions are great and the customization is a awesome for picky eaters.

Recently went to have the Hot plate bibimbap with spicy bulgogi (not spicy at all btw) and man was that good. I admit it was way too hot for me but the flavor was way better and was worth the trip from my comfy couch to the restaurant.

The restaurant has a nice interior design and a clean atmosphere.

Greatly recommended!

Burning Rice is a great option for lunch or dinner. They offer a wide variety of dishes to satisfy every pallette. I generally stick to rice and chicken dishes, but have never been disappointed with anything I have ordered here. Service is quick, servers are quite friendly, and the dining room is always lively and clean.

Tried Korean food for the first time and it didn’t disappoint. All the food was delicious, from the veggie rice to the noodles and the spicy shrimp too. I ordered the regular bowl which comes with your choice of veggies, rice or noodles and protein of your choice, it also comes with a delicious miso soup. All in all very good place to try Korean food.

The BEST Korean bowls! Sally is a GEM ! She makes sure all is beyond great with a lovely and happy demeanor. The bowls are tasty, right temperature and crafted to perfection. The bowls themselves are adorable & keep the food warm till the last bite.

Crazy good food!! Loved everything we tried at this joint. I wonder why I did not visit this place before. I am probably going to be back soon for another meal. Staff was friendly and place was clean. Superlike!

Woah. This place is awesome. Spicy bulgogi was so good. Imagine a Korean chipotle but with a nicer vibe. Great pricing for what you get too. The hot bowl was a really nice presentation but next time I may get the regular bowl. I was so hungry and it was so good that the hot bowl kept the food too hot for me to devour 😂. Easy 5 stars.

First time experience: I came in there are kiosks to reduce wait time for people who know what they want, I did not though so I went to the counter, staff was friendly and helpful for deciding what I wanted I decided to go “all out” since it was my first experience: I got beef bulgogi “abundant meal” extra potsticker and miso soup and I go the hot dine in bowl that keeps your food extra hot and adds crisp to the rice, veggies, etc. the food was fresh and flavorful and had a wide mix of veggies and toppings included plus sauces to add! It was healthy and craveable but better than something healthy I could cook at home for sure. I think maybe the manager or owner helped me decide what I wanted also, then came to see how it was.
The ambiance was simple and not distracting the environment was clean, and welcoming simple peaceful music; would easily accommodate different dietary needs

Good to have dine in again and friendly, patient staff who would bring your selection to your table all nice and warm. Good selections and you can add various sauces. I do miss the salad and panchan buffet that was discontinued because of the pandemic though. They had a great sauce to go with fresh mushrooms and salad greens before.

Food is always fresh (even before close) and everything comes out very fast. I always see the manager here and the staff is very polite. 11/10

Once again pur meals were OUTSTANDING!!!

Had the craving and Burning Rice delivered! We hadn't been here in quite a bit after having moved further away from the area. We sure were glad though to make the drive as everyone got their Korean fix in.

Ordering is via self-help kiosks and is super easy. After you order, the food takes no more than a few minutes before an employee carts it out to you.

Spend the extra few bucks and get the combo with the mandoo and soup. It is easily worth the extra $2 to $3!

We will definitely be back for more.

Since my last visit, there are now 3 digital touchscreen stations for self-service ordering. You can still talk to a cashier and order in person.

The bibimbop bowls are great and you can add up to 5 different types of sauces to your bowl. I also enjoyed their Miso Soup.

Walk in and order at the register with instructions above the cashier. Simple instructions for bowl type, type of rice, BBQ topping, and ingredients. The price is great because it comes with as many ingredients as you like (no additional charge) plus salad and 2 types of soups (miso and seaweed) at the salad and soup bar. Very clean, great taste and friendly staff.

Spur of the moment I was craving some Bulgogi.
And this place was the place that delivered some GREAT quality food! We got the crunchy/crispy chicken bowl and the hot stone bowl. The amount of options for a bowl are great here . Prices are very reasonable $9-14 depending what you get.
The dumplings and chicken appetizers were great as well!!!

10/10 ill be back. Thank you for amazing service!!!!
