This Rice Is On Fire

Burning Rice is the perfect Korean BBQ restaurants to come to Frisco and Lewisville. Burning Rice offers build-your-own bowls topped with bulgogi, tofu, or spicy pork and a variety of vegetables.

If your dining in, I recommend you get your order in a hot stone bowl. This creates a delightfully crispy layer of rice at the bottom...yummm!

Bibimbop 

Is one of Korea's signature dishes which translate to "mind rice with meat and assorted vegetables."

It is served in a bowl of steamed rice with a variety of seasoned vegetables, a choice of marinated meat, seafood or tofu and is topped off with an egg or sesame seeds. 

How It Works

1: Choose Your Bowl

Hot Stone Bowl

Regular Bowl

Hot Stone Bowl: is served in a scorching 

earthenware pot so it is hot in temperature 

until the very last bite. Whether your 

preferred option is cold or hot, Bibimbop 

make your meal fantastic and delightful!"

2: Choose Your Grain

Steamed White Rice - Brown Rice - Veggie Stirred Rice - Kimchi Stirred Rice

3: Choose One of the Main Toppings - Marinated Meat or Tofu

Bulgogi (sliced brisket) - Spicy Bulgogi - La Kalbi (Short Rib) - Pineapple Kalbi Steak - Spicy Pork - Garlic Pork Tenders - Spicy Chicken - Tofu 

4: Choose Any or All of The Vegetable Toppings

Spinach - Mushrooms - Carrot - Bean Sprout - Zucchini - Kimchi - Fish Cake - Japchae

Some Korean Specialities:

Japchae 

Sweet potato noodle stirred in sesame oil and garnished with toasted sesame seeds. 

This is the perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors and a mouthwatering fragrance.

Kimchi

"Critically vital and quintessential to any Korean meal. It is a vegetable dish - chili pickled cabbage that is preserved and lightly fermented in bright red chili flakes, highly seasoned with pepper and garlic and contains amounts of good nutrition such as vitamin C and fiber."

Bulgogi (literally fire + meat)

Marinated sliced rib-eye. This is another Korean speciality barbecued meat. While it is normally made with beef/brisket, Bulgogi can be made with thin strip son pork or chicken. Before the meat is grilled, it's marinated in soy sauce and garlic and sesame oil.

St. Paul's Cathedral

St. Paul’s Cathedral is a London must-see! When you and your sweetheart are roaming the streets of London on your vacation, be sure to head over to St. Paul’s cathedral and stand in awe of the beauty of the architecture, history, and spirit in there.

“For more than 1,400 years, a Cathedral dedicated to St Paul has stood at the highest point in the City. The present Cathedral is the masterpiece of Britain's most famous architect Sir Christopher Wren” (found on website). St. Paul’s is full of history. From the funeral of Sir Winston Churchill, to surviving WWII, to the Great Fire of London, to a visit from Martin Luther King Jr., this cathedral has seen and been through a lot.

When you visit, you could simply enjoy a walk through and explore the sacred cathedral. You also could go and attend evensong, an organ recital or even a service, as the cathedral is still a working church. You also could go high up into the galleries up in the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral.

I promise you won’t regret making your way over to St. Paul’s. Head on over with your sweetheart to see the magnificent St. Paul’s Cathedral. If you fancy having a meal before or after your visit, there is a great building, called One New Change, behind St. Paul’s that has loads of restaurants in it. You can even go up onto the roof of that building to a high end bar and enjoy another incredible view of St. Paul’s and the rest of London.

While we are on the topic of London must-see churches, be sure to head over to Westminster Abbey as well!

Relationship Tip: When you are on vacation together, be willing to explore new things together. Make memories together as you explore.

"Phenomenal burger, it was the 1/2lb olive burger. Cannot wait to come back and try more items from their menu. The place gets busy quick, but I was there when they were really busy, but it did not impact the quality of the food they made." Jermey P.

"I eat burgers at least 2 times a week. This place has the best burgers in Dallas! I've gotten almost everything on the menu and everything is super awesome. Make sure you try the jalapeño ketchup! I could eat that on everything!!!" Ibrahim J.

"Only been here once but I can't seem to get it out of my mind. My wife and I have been trying all the halal burger places around DFW and I think we can stop searching now. I got a regular cheese burger and it was awesome, the size, the amount (1/2 lb patty), and of course, the FLAVOR." Fair Z.
