    [#hosted] Date night at @joagrill, an elevated Korean BBQ experience with 2 Michelin-recognized chefs from Korea and a wine list curated by a master sommelier 👩🏻‍🍳💋 I came here for my birthday last year and was thrilled to be invited back to showcase their delicious food and new drink menu! If you’re looking to enjoy date night while the servers are attentive and cook the cuts of meat to your liking, this is the perfect spot! We felt so taken care of and were able to enjoy great food, drinks, and each other’s company 🥂 📍 JOA Grill 2254 Royal Ln, Dallas, TX 75229

    The service was horrible. As soon as we sat down, our server rushed us to order drinks, but then it took her over 30 minutes to bring my drink. Mind you, it was my birthday. When the food came out, two signatures were missing, and it took her another 30 minutes to bring out our guests' food, which by then we were done eating. To top it off, when we asked for the checks, it took her over another 30 minutes. Not to mention, when ordering drinks, my friend ordered a bottle of wine, and she kept asking if he was sure that he wanted a bottle of wine multiple times, almost insinuating that we couldn’t afford it! Horrible experience food was good though

    Having learned that this establishment is a sister restaurant to Nuri, our expectations were naturally set high—particularly regarding attention to detail and the overall guest experience. The food quality was excellent, especially the beef sourced from 44 Farms, which showcased thoughtful ingredient selection and proper execution. The cocktails, while enjoyable, leaned a bit too sweet and could benefit from more balance to complement the dishes. Where the evening fell short was in the experience itself. Despite the strong foundation in food, the ambiance felt inconsistent, largely due to music that clashed with the restaurant’s intended atmosphere. This disrupted what could have been a cohesive dining journey. At checkout, there was a discrepancy between the bill total and the amount charged to the card, which left a questionable final impression. From a hospitality perspective, more focus on guest engagement and storytelling would elevate the concept. Guests should leave not just satisfied, but connected—to the story, the team, and the brand’s identity. Our server, though polite, was unaware that Nuri is featured in the Michelin Guide, and even unfamiliar with the term itself. This reflects a missed opportunity in staff training and brand alignment. The restaurant has clear potential—excellent ingredients, solid execution, and a promising concept—but it needs deeper investment in service culture, communication, and team knowledge to truly deliver an experience worthy of its lineage.

    They were out of multiple items. Took over hour for raw food to come out. Ordered drinks that needed reminding to bring out after 35 minutes. Will never step foot in there again.

    A completely enjoyable experience, great food, great service and ambiance. The fried dumplings were scrumptious, the meats of high quality and the portions just right. Korean barbecue at its finest. We will return.
