Top 5 Gluten-Free Korean Spots to Delight in Dallas

I’ve had Moon Bowls multiple times and they deliver every time! It’s perfect because we have family that’s vegan and gluten free so we’re able to get something. The spicy special sauce+bbq chicken bowl+sweet potato noodles are great.

Hallelujah the hot stone bowls are back! If you've never had bibimbap in a hot stone bowl, what are you waiting for?! Your only excuse is trying the fried chicken instead, because it's equally awesome. To be real, I was ignorant to the world of Korean fried chicken but am glad I was shown the light. Bbbop has two great offerings: wings and half (or whole) birds. The wings are lightly dusted in cornstarch. The birds are battered. Both are glazed with your choice of a variety of sauces. I've tried every sauce and they are all stellar, but shoutouts to my favorites: soy ginger and spicy chili, in that order. Much to my waist's chagrin, the fried chicken and wings are as good as you'll find anyplace. But the chicken isn't the only entree with "wings." I've eaten through nearly the entire menu and it is truly "all good." Plus, the house-brewed teas are awesome and I never knew I liked bocce until I tried the pit out back. Pro tip: you can order takeout and play bocce while you wait for your order. Plus, there are legit vegetarian and vegan options in plates of all sizes. And everyone can enjoy the fries, which are always served hot and crispy--even when you take them home. I've taken many friends there with a wide array of dietary preferences, including vegetarians, vegans, folks with celiac disease, and folks who can't eat any sugar. Everyone found something they loved. And everyone goes back. This spot is equally cool for an outing where you can eat with your fingers (wing-night!) and a casual first date. My only true regret is that stellar options like the Thai pork belly vanished from the menu never to be seen again. Please resurrect it!! And, like every other place, the size of the wings and birds have shrunk a wee bit since the pandemic, but this isn't really bbbop's fault and they are still heads and shoulders above other wing joints. Bottom line: Bebop is a dietary staple for me that is responsible for at least 10 pounds of my COVID-15. What to try: Uh, the wings! And the fried chicken. And the bibimbap in a hot stone bowl. That's at least three visits. You will not regret them!

I ordered the Combo Shrimp and Tofu Panang Curry (spicy level) which was gluten free. The rice and curry were served in separate containers and a colorful plate was given to eat on. The shrimp and tofu were perfect! The Panang Curry was the perfect spice level for my palette. The bell peppers were fresh with the right amount of crunch. The rice was a bit too dry. Its consistency seemed better suited for a fried rice dish. Overall, I was satisfied with what I ordered. The drinks are in a refrigerated box. There is no ice present which was a disappointment. The music playing in the background was pop rock. I would have preferred Thai music. This location seems to do a lot of pickups from delivery services in the area, but the dining area is comfortable with booths and regular contemporary tables. I love the artistic decorated wall at the back of the restaurant. I have included pictures of the food ordered and the interior design. The noise level in the kitchen could be heard in the dining area and sometimes competed with the music playing. At least the cooks sounded happy while they were working. The gentleman, Dharmateia V., at the front taking orders was helpful.
