Popular Korean restaurant will move to larger Sundance Square location in Fort Worth

Hoya Korean Kitchen, a quiet success for 10 years in Sundance Square, will move to a larger space nearby, a Sundance spokesman has confirmed.

Known for 10 years for bulgogi, seafood stew and kimchi fries, Hoya will move from its current location, 355 W. Third St., to a former sushi restaurant in the same block, 335 W. Third St.

Hoya, originally a counter-service restaurant that opened inside a former chain sub shop, has grown into a full-service restaurant and remained a consistent success as other restaurants around it have opened and closed.

Best known for the slow-cooked spicy pork or ribeye bulgogi rice dish, or the larger version in a hot stone pot (dolsot-bibimbap), Hoya also serves teriyaki dishes and Korean fried chicken.

Starters include chicken dumplings, veggie egg rolls and edamame.

Hoya is open for lunch and dinner daily; 817-378-4045, hoyasundancesquare.com.

The new space was a former location of Piranha Killer Sushi.
