Sampling part of Korea in Carrollton

Despite its name, Wicked Snow is a homely café with a warm, welcoming ambience. Soft Korean music plays as customers chat with one another. There are numerous drink and dessert options, from boba teas and coffee to fresh waffles and cookies. Of all the establishments I visited, Wicked Snow has the best overall environment, with the perfect level of music to eliminate silences without infringing on ...

Filled with cheese, sausage or a combination of both, these hot dogs are also rolled in sugar with a number of sauces and toppings available.

Kimchi is one of many restaurants in the H-Mart strip, but its unique exterior makes it stand out from the crowd. With a pseudo-white picket fence surrounding a small area covered in turf, the outside seems slightly out of place from the rest of the restaurant. Inside, there are rows of desks, resembling a school classroom. It’s counter service, but workers serve the food to the customer. The menu ...

The service is slightly questionable, as instead of serving their customers, the worker...

They provide games for their customers to occupy themselves with as they enjoy the numerous different beverage options. My favorite aspect of this tea shop is the option to customize specific aspects of your drink. They allow you to adjust the level of ice in your drink, the sweetnes...
