I always enjoy coming here. I've brought a lot of people to dine here and they always enjoy it! I always order their marinated crabs when it's in season, the spicy stir fried squid, their original house ribs, and seafood pancake! They also have a good pork neck soup! Service is good but food is great! They play nice kpop songs while you eat and they also serve soju. So this place can be very lively depending on the time of day. They're usually always busy as well.

If you’re looking for a comforting bowl of seolleongtang (ox bone soup) then this the place to go to in Carrollton! I recommend seasoning the broth to taste with salt and black pepper. I like adding kimchi in mine as well. There are no specific rules so do whatever tastes good for you. Service is great here and there is plenty of parking since it’s in a shared lot with plenty of other businesses. My husband and I had this soup after a long day of traveling and it was like a warm hug. The side dishes as well were very delicious. We had dinner here on a week night so it wasn’t crowded and we were able to get seated right away. If you do come here on a weekend, be mindful that it can get busy and pretty loud inside.

Maht Gaek was a fantastic meal. We arrived on a Sunday around 1pm which looked to be the time alot of tables were turning around so there wasn’t a wait. We ordered mackerel, seafood pancake and galbijjim. All were really good but the galbijjim was the star of the show. It’s hard to find quality like this in my neck of the woods. We aren’t in the Dallas area much but we would 100% return to try more of their menu! Highly recommended!

FOOD - Great price for quality and taste of food. SERVICE - Very friendly, welcoming and patient especially for food allergies contamination of nuts and seafood. ATMOSPHERE - spacious, clean and definitely better than other locations we've visited. Thank you for going above and beyond for your customers. We'll definitely be back!

We visited during lunchtime and were impressed by their seafood pancake. The cold noodle and tofu soup were great, though a bit light for my taste. The staff were welcoming and friendly.
