We were in town for my birthday weekend and came across Hoya in a Google search. Of the many restaurants in the area, I'm so glad we picked this one.
The staff(owner) was super nice and made sure every part of our meal was great. We ordered bulgogi bimimbop, short ribs, seafood pancake, a Korean peach flavored alcohol, eggrolls and a mango ice dessert (sorry I don'trememberall of the names). I love Korean food and I'm an adventurous eater. My husband, on the other hand, is new to food exploration and is a picky eater with a ton of food aversions. He tried every item, including the 3 banchan served, and liked every single item! I also loved everything, but for him, that's saying something. For me, the top item was the short ribs, sweet, sticky and I would have eaten the bone if I could have. The ribs were served on a bed of cabbage. The heat from the plate and the drippings of the sauce from the ribs made the cabbage so flavorful, and strangely, one of my favorite parts of the meal.
For him, it was the mango ice dessert. He woke up the next morning wanting to go back just for another one of those to go! The bulgogi bimimbop was so good! I love how the hot bowl makes the rice get a little bit crispy. All the ingredients were fresh and beautifully prepared. This was a great experience and a wonderful meal. We wish we lived close some could come back again, but next time we visit Ft Worth, we will!
