45 Best Korean Restaurants in Austin

“It was absolutely delicious“

“Delicious food, attentive staff, and cool decor. We always have a blast and a delicious meal when we go to Honey Pig. If you don’t know what to order, my recommendation is to pick a combo. The severs will cook it for you. They always give our toddler balloons weighted down with chopsticks to keep her entertained while we eat. Sometimes there’s a wait, but they will text you when your table is ready, so you can go browse H-Mart while you’re waiting. Highly recommended!!“

“Manna Restaurant is the real deal!

Stumbled upon this place and honestly couldn’t be happier. The food is authentic, portions are generous, and the flavors hit just right. The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home. If you’re craving legit Korean food, this is your spot. Already planning my next visit!“

“Heard about Pocha is Back and decided to check ir out, and it did nice disappoint. The vibe is lively and a little chaotic in s fun away, perfect for going with friends. The food is full of flavor and everything came out fresh and well made. It's one of those place where you end up staying longer than you planned. I'd definitely come back!“

“Stopped in for the Spicy Pork Bulgogi Bowl and was really impressed. The pork was incredibly tender with just the right amount of heat. It had a nice spicy kick without being overwhelming, and the flavor was balanced really well. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the fresh salad with the creamy dressing was a great contrast to the spicy meat.

The portions were generous, everything tasted fresh, and the bowl was put together really well. You can tell they care about the food they’re serving.

The customer service was just as good as the meal. The owner was friendly, welcoming, and genuinely appreciative of everyone who walked through the door, which made for a great experience.

The restaurant itself is clean, comfortable, and has a relaxed atmosphere. It’s also right next to my new gym, so I have a feeling I’ll be making this a regular stop. I’m already looking forward to coming back to try the kimchi fried rice and some of the other dishes on the menu.

If you’re in the area and craving Korean BBQ, I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try!“

“The most delicious and authentic food I have ever eaten. Truly made with love and perfection! ❤️🙏“

“Best korean wings in the area. Great food, great service and great staff.“

“Checked put this Korean restaurant for the first time. Food was very fresh and tasty. I like that you can specify the level of heat/spiciness based on your taste. I am very picky about my Kimchi jigae and the soup here was delicious. I will be coming back for sure!“

“Would recommend! Had the secret sauce and spicy galbi boneless chicken, both were very flavorful and tender. Spicy galbi wasn’t very spicy but still delicious. 16 wings between two people were enough as we got full by wing 14. Service was great too.“

“this is one of our favorite places to eat in Austin!“

“Korean review: really inexpensive and one of the only places in South Austin to get your Korean food fix. I know other reviews had some service problems but experienced NONE of that. Greeted immediately when walking in, we picked our seats and had multiple staff during our hour and a half stay check up on us even with a crowd of others arriving after us. We got the Kimbap appetizer split it for two (was delicious didn't need anything else like a sauce - perfect on it's own!). I got the beef bulgogi and my friend got the Rock Bibimbap with spicy pork (like regular Bibimbap but in a hot pot!). YALL LEMME TELL YOU THIS WAS SO GOOD. I was having an emotional experience with these flavors. Banchan selection was good too. Got 6 of them and one of them kimchi. I'll be back for take out and eventually try out the Japanese and Sushi portion of the menu.“

“I am in town for an event and needed a good lunch and seen the 4 and half stars.. Pork buldogi plate was 💣 bomb.. food came out steaming hot and spicy just how I like it.. definitely a recommendation for a quick hot plate!“

“Mom's Taste is an absolutely wonderful Korean restaurant and one of the hidden gems of Austin that I keep coming back to again and again. The food is incredibly authentic, hearty, and full of the kind of deep comforting flavors that truly remind you of home cooked Korean cuisine. The banchan selection alone is outstanding and the main dishes are always perfectly seasoned and generously portioned. The staff is warm and welcoming, creating a cozy and relaxed atmosphere that makes every meal feel like a special occasion. If you are craving genuine Korean food in Austin, Mom's Taste is without a doubt the place to go.“

“I am legitimately obsessed with this place. I stop and get it to go before heading into work in the evenings when I’m working nights and it’s the highlight of my day. The spicy pork and kimchi stew are my favorites. The spicy shrimp udon is also incredibly delicious. Hands down my favorite Korean spot in Austin. The staff are lovely, as well :)“

“First time ever to Korean bbq. And this place rocked it!“

“A great place to get lunch if working downtown. The service is fast and friendly. The food is healthy and has many options.
This is a good truck in the sidewalk near the post office and convenience store. I loved stopping here when my office was nearby.“

“Great crispy batter, great fries, great sauces and great coleslaw. Food is always hot and fresh. Never had a bad experience.“

“Rating: 4.3/5 [delivery]

We ordered two Create Your Own Bowls ($12.10) and added extra protein to each one. The bowls were packed all the way to the lid, so the portions were definitely generous. We had leftovers and didn't feel heavy after our meal so it's a convenient healthy option.

- Braised Korean BBQ Pork: Tasted like pulled pork so we weren't huge fans.
- Spicy Chicken: Not as good as the fried chicken options. It's like poached chicken tossed in a spicy sauce. Wish the sauce was caramelized so it can coat the chicken better.
- Bang Bang Chicken: Fried boneless chicken bites coated in their zesty Bang Bang sauce. It was okay. I wouldn't have known it was fried and couldn't really tell what the flavor was until I read the description.
- K'Pop Chicken: Fried boneless chicken bites in the Gangnam sauce. This was the best of the three chicken proteins we tried thanks to their Gangnam sauce.
- Base – Brown Rice: Great texture, not hard.
- Base – Jasmine Rice: Really good. The white rice tasted like it was lightly seasoned or flavored.
- Base – Japchae Noodles: Delicious, well cooked with great texture and flavor.
- Base – Fries: Not a great base option. The fries got soggy.
- Cold Toppings: All the veggies were fresh so you really cannot go wrong. I especially loved the esquites and caramelized kimchi. Recommend skipping the tortilla strips for takeout or delivery since they can get soggy.
- Sauce: The carrot ginger dressing was surprisingly really good and even had little bits in it. I was not a fan of the magic sauce since it tasted like a spicy mayo aioli that was not spicy.“

“Highly recommend. The food is fresh and scrumptious every time. I ordered the #4 Tofu Bowl this last time. Amazingly good, nice presentation, colorful and fresh veggies! Tofu was a yummy, large pieces with a generous amount in the bowl. The magic sauce is so good.“

“It’s the best sushi ever and it’s a food truck. I just happened to yelp it and OMG!! Not to mention the lovely people who run it. Thanks for having me and I will be returning“

“Hand's down, our favorite sushi place around! We always sit at the sushi bar and Drew is amazing! I highly recommend the Big Bang roll. Has a little bit of everything and is a flavor orgasm in your mouth! LOVE!“

“First time trying chilantro bbq and it was superb! Food was fresh and delicious! We will return.“

“If you want an amazing place to get some korean food and be served by the most friendly staff, go to SOHA. Great drinks, amazing food, best spot in Austin to hang out and drink and eat.“

“Cute vibes, and a different take on Korean food.

Food: we had the fried chicken, seasonal salad, and the wagyu. When looking around.. sooo many people had the fried chicken and our server told us they were known for their fried chicken and wagyu steak- which is why we got both. The fried chicken was a bit of a letdown for me. It was dry, wasn’t that crispy, and the flavor wasn’t out of this world- just tasted like toasted seaweed because of the nori flakes. Idk… just didn’t get the hype for $36 for a very small half bird. The wagyu was good tho, if not a bit sweet. Think bulgogi sauce marinaded. They had a great dipping sauce, but the meat wasn’t particularly tender and I wasn’t even asked what temperature I like my steak. It came out med rare. The kimchi that accompanied it was a cantaloupe kimchi.. which was ok, not my fav. The side pear salad tho was delicious, but still.. $18 for a side of pears and cucumbers.

Atmosphere was good. Very vibey and cute.

There’s a parking garage connected and they validate parking.“

“Very good bento box! I had the beef bulgogi and kiddo had the chicken teriyaki. Everything tastes fresh and well prepared. It was a good value with 2 pieces of nigiri in addition to the typical Cali roll, tempura veggies, soup, salad, rice, veggies, and gyoza. We will be back!“

“Glad to have found this place! We will be coming back for sure!“

“Fantastic Hamachi and atmosphere ❣️“

“Great crispy batter, great fries, great sauces and great coleslaw. Food is always hot and fresh. Never had a bad experience.“

“delicious and huge katsu !!!“

“Put my stall that sold toppoki next to the sushi place back. The other toppoki place sucks. Least the stall at the end is still there, otherwise there would be literally nothing id want. I don't want your fried chicken and corn dogs i want food that tastes like someones grandma made it.“

“New favorite place to eat in Wichita. amazing food and amazing service. 10 out of 10“

“I love K-Bop's Bibimbap with Tofu or Spicy Chicken! With their kimchi on the side. Delicious!!! <3 <3 <3“

“First time trying chilantro bbq and it was superb! Food was fresh and delicious! We will return.“

“The seafood soft tofu with galbi here is a must-try! My food came out fast, and the service was so friendly. Since I can't handle too much spice, I asked the staff for a recommendation. I went with the 'regular spicy' level, which was perfect for me. I will definitely be back whenever I visit H Mart. Thank you for the great meal!“

“best beef and broc of all the buffets“

“GHOST KITCHEN! Good food, although the ordering did not have boxes for a way to change your sauce that you put over top of your meal. Mine came out with just a hot chili sauce and no extra sauce at all on the food at all. I do not want to pay for a sausage $1.50 if I have no way to sub out the one that you want to give me. I did love the chicken though it was flavorful dusted with a hot pepper. It just needs a little bit of some type of light soy teriyaki sauce. Or like a pineapple teriyaki sauce not too sweet though. The concept of this is interesting but the execution and no freaking directions for new people is kind of beyond me. Kind of hard to understand or know how to order when there is no information eluding to it being part of my a ghost kitchen online or at the door. I ordered online and then didn't get a confirmation except a text that they received my order. I needed some kind of code. A kind African American lady with black glasses and pulled back hair was very kind to help me watch for my name for my order. For the ordering process for this company Moon bowls you all need to have a place to say you need a fork or you need to substitute sauce. For $16 I felt the food was adequate for this day and age. Please include forks.“

“I love Izumi! I’ve been here about 4 times and the food is always good. The staff is fast and friendly!“

“We used to live in Austin over 6 years ago and Chi’Lantro was one of our absolute favorites—I have missed the kimchi fries since we moved!
We recently came back and were so happy it’s still just as good. We definitely miss the kimchi burger (please bring it back!), but we loved trying some of the newer menu additions like the BBQ pork and K-pop chicken. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and such a fun fusion concept that really works.
What stood out just as much as the food was the service. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. Even our kids loved it, which says a lot for a place with bold flavors! It’s hard to find somewhere that feels unique, delicious, and family-friendly all at once, but Chi’Lantro does it so well.“
