45 Best Korean Restaurants in Austin

“It was absolutely delicious“

“Wonderful service and equally wonderful food ! So glad to have good quality Korean food in our local community!“

“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!“

“Great spot for some excellent chicken. The sauces we all amazing, full of flavor, and the chicken was absolutely drenched. I'd love to come back and just try all the different sauces. I think the 8 pc was a bit much for 1 person, maybe a 6 pc and side of rice would be a better size, it got a bit tiresome by the end.“

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

“The Korean food at Pocha is Back was flavorful, comforting, and perfect for sharing. We ordered a few dishes, including Korean fried chicken, tteokbokki, and some savory noodles. The chicken was crispy with plenty of seasoning, while the tteokbokki had a chewy texture and a flavorful, slightly spicy sauce. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the portions were generous enough for everyone to try a little of each dish. A fun spot for a casual Korean meal.“

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

“A few years ago I tried ramen in San Diego, and since then, nothing has satisfied my craving because I prefer to cook my own food. But yesterday when I went to this place, yum! Absolutely delicious!!!
The tofu soup with vegetables, the broth, wow, the best of the best. 💜 We also ordered a bowl of rice with meat (I don't remember the name) but it was delicious.... We forgot to take a picture of the soup 🥺🥺“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“The food is amazing, I'm pretty much addicted to the kimbap they make. But the thing is it runs out most of the time if you don't get there before 1pm and the store opens at 10am, so I get a 3 hour window if I want to buy something in the store, and even though they sell other things like some fantastic Korean BBQ meat that you cook at home, and fishcake, sometimes I just want to grab something I can eat immediately, hence the kimbap. It would be great if there was more kimbap even in the afternoons and early evenings times of the day.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 :)“

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

“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“

“I'll admit, I'm one of those people that judge a place based on their rice quality, consistency, and texture. Unfortunately, it was too wet and mushy for me to really enjoy but others may not care.

I got the Galbi Zzim Combo which is probably something to be shared. The sauce and flavor of the braised ribs was very, very good! The meat was extremely tender, though I do wished I got the dish with a much spicier option since regular spicy was hardly noticeable. Would highly recommend this dish for the sauce and galbi alone. The tteokbokki was good and the seolleongtang (side of soup) was pretty bland in my opinion...

I also tried the beef bulgogi dish and personally, it was just a little too dry for my preference. Flavor was decent though! But I've had much better bulgogi in general. I also tried the Wang Galbitang and it was really plain as well, but it made a world of difference when the ribs were placed in the sauce of the Galbi Zzim.

Overall, although I did feel like I got the best dish, I'm not sure if I was convinced about the other offerings from the restaurant. I'd definitely like to come back and try more foods here!“

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

“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!“

“The food was delicious, the attention of our waiter very well gave us very good dinner options and he also spoke Spanish. A wonderful experience in this restaurant. We loved it! Super recommended 🫶🏻❤️“

“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.“

“Fantastic Hamachi and atmosphere ❣️“

“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“

“Recovering from a surgery so had the very healthy Samgyetang (ginseng chicken soup) today and it was outstanding! Highly recommend this restaurant. The lady at the cash register was so kind and gave me yeolmu kimchi too as a bonus. Amazing service and food!

Samgyetang is a traditional Korean ginseng chicken soup that helps restore lost energy, boost the immune system, and warm the digestive system during hot summer days. Just what the doctor ordered, food for the soul and recovery.

Doesn’t look tasty, but it’s so good! Think chicken porridge. A whole young chicken stuffed with sticky rice, garlic, jujubes, and fresh ginseng. 😋
Can’t wait to eat my leftovers for lunch tomorrow!“

“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!“

“best beef and broc of all the buffets“
