    New Dallas restaurant K's House brings Korean BBQ to Trinity Groves

    Trinity Groves has a new restaurant doing a new cuisine: Korean BBQ. K's House, at Cypress at Trinity Groves, is a prototypical Korean BBQ restaurant featuring table-side grilling, that opened on May 30, according to a release.

    Cypress at Trinity Groves is the first mixed-use project in the West Dallas development, across Singleton Boulevard from the Trinity Groves restaurant incubator.

    According to the release, K's House is striving for authenticity, with many ingredients imported from Korea and family recipes from owner Sammantha Kang, passed down for generations.

    Each table grill features down-draft ventilation, so it doesn't get smoky. Meats for grilling include boneless short rib, ribeye, beef bulgogi, pork belly, chicken, seafood, and pork shoulder blade that's been double-marinated in coffee then wine.

    Other Korean specialties prepared by the kitchen include bibimbap, hot stone bibimbap, beef, and pork short ribs that take a week to prepare and marinate, and soft tofu soup featuring a sauce made from 17 ingredients and fermented for four days.

    The meal comes with banchan, aka Korean side dishes, which rotate daily and might include kimchi with cabbage flown in from Korea; cucumber; fish cakes; and Korean-style potatoes.

    The restaurant will also offer rotating and seasonal specials such as shabu shabu.

    A separate menu for lunch features Korean tacos and sliders made with kimchi pork belly or beef, pork or chicken bulgogi, and Korean style Ramyeon, a ramen-like soup that the release says became popular in Korea in the 1960s.

    "At K's House, we feature a mix of traditional, approachable Korean dishes with modern touches that you’ll only find at our restaurant," owner Sammantha Kang says in a release. "While you enjoy the meal, we want to be able to give you a history of Korean food and why it’s prepared the way it is. We have some recipes on the menu that have been made for hundreds, even thousands of years in Korea with little change."

    In addition to a full bar, K’s House will feature cocktails made with specialty Korean liquors. "Korean food is about sharing great food with family and friends," Kang says.

    K's House joins other restaurants Dulcet Café, BingBox Snow Cream, and Steam Theory Brewing, along with a bank, barber shop, and apartments.

    K’s House will be open for lunch and dinner daily beginning June 3. They'll also stay open late with a nightly Night Owl menu from 10 pm to 2 am, available for delivery only.

    The party is over at Jaxon.

    A trio of new restaurants have debuted at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, one of which is a familiar name: The live music and entertainment venue is now home to Jaxon Texas Kitchen, Shoals Smokehouse, and Pistil Cocktail Lounge, which have opened under the management of Hospitality Alliance, the restaurant group led by CEO Kevin Lillis (AT&T Discovery District, One Victory Park).

    Toyota Music Factory opened in 2017, then underwent a renovation in 2024 that included upgrades to the outdoor stage, plaza, and storefronts of several tenant spaces. The renovation was completed in January 2025.

    “We’re proud to be part of this iconic space and this vibrant community,” Lillis says in a statement. “There is nothing more enjoyable than hanging out with friends and family, listening to good music, having cold drinks, and eating great food, and we’re fortunate to be able to do that every day.”

    These three new restaurants and bars were each designed by The Ferro Collective, and are all overseen by Chef Andrew Dilda, the acclaimed chef whose resume includes Reata and Lonesome Dove Western Bistro. The restaurants cover a variety of dining options: Southern classics at Jaxon, barbecue at Shoals Smokehouse, and craft cocktails at Pistil.

    Jaxon Texas Kitchen 340 W Las Colinas Blvd. #110
    Jaxon Texas Kitchen, which originally opened at the AT&T Discovery District and which was nominated for a CultureMap Tastemaker Award for Best New Restaurant in 2021, returns to DFW in a 10,000-square-foot, two-story destination for Southern hospitality. Open for lunch and dinner daily, the menu includes signature dishes plus elevated Southern dishes crafted by chef Dilda, with an honest and authentic approach to classic Texas dishes, emphasizing substance over style.

    The menu includes fried green tomatoes, chicken-fried steak, a burger, shrimp & grits, and brick chicken.

    Decor features a welcoming indoor/outdoor environment that incorporates Texas-inspired elements. Design highlights include a custom-built mixed media collage of Texas-born movie stars, antler-adorned beer taps, cactus terrariums at the entrnace, and earth-toned banquette seating.

    Shoals Smokehouse 340 W Las Colinas Blvd. #120
    Inspired by Muscle Shoals, the famed recording studio in Alabama, Shoals combines Texas barbecue, fried chicken, and the sounds of rock and blues for an atmosphere where food and music blend seamlessly.

    The menu features smoked meats, fried chicken, and Southern sides, celebrate the flavors of the South. The restaurant has patio seating facing the outdoor plaza stage, a retractable glass wall that lets the backyard in, TVs throughout and a centrally located full bar.

    Pistil Cocktail Lounge 340 W Las Colinas Blvd. #220
    Developed and operated by Hospitality Alliance’s Beverage Director Angela Montesclaros, and considered the “sister” joint to Jaxon, Pistil is an evening-only cocktail bar featuring a blend of gothic western and wild west flair: a stylish hangout operated and designed by women for those looking for a place to kick up their boots — for cocktails, conversation, and barbecue.

    Pistil offers a wine list with wines from renowned vineyards, including sustainable and woman-owned vineyards, as well as a food menu with small plates and seasonal dishes highlight Texas farms and ranches. A secluded garden provides cocktail ingredients and garnishes picked by the bar staff. Unique design elements include an elaborate stained-glass installation of a West Texas sunset.
