25 Best Korean Restaurants near Pflugerville

“GEN Korean BBQ was… an experience. 😂

The food was all right overall, with a good spice level, and the different varieties of kimchi were all very, very good. Making your own food at the table is fun in theory, but personally, I’d rather someone just cook for me.

The restaurant itself was clean, the restrooms were especially nice and well maintained, and the staff was pleasant. But the atmosphere was just not for me. Between the blue neon lighting, metal, and white cushions, the whole place had a strange Miami-strip-club vibe.

And the MUSIC. Good grief. It was so ridiculously loud that nobody at our table could hear anybody else. Dinner shouldn’t require shouting across the table just to have a conversation.

Decent food, great kimchi, very clean—but between the volume and the atmosphere, I don’t know that I’ll be back.“

“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!“

“Review from ‘The Lunch Special’ @LunchSpecial512 Ghama Zone @ghamakf 1:30 PM, Thursday, December 5, 2024 Weather: 60 degrees, cloudy Stars? I only give 1 star or 5 stars its a pass fail score card Overall Score: 8/10 Ambiance: 5/10 The atmosphere felt overly corporate, akin to an elevator setting where the establishment seemed to strive for an upscale ambiance but fell short. The background music, reminiscent of elevator tunes, further contributed to this sterile vibe. With a few adjustments in aesthetics and sound, the environment could significantly enhance the dining experience. Entree: • Bulgogi Kimbap: 10/10 • Spicy Pork Pocket: 10/10 • Bacon Kimchi Pocket: 10/10 • Miso Soup: 7/10 The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the entrees, which were nothing short of exceptional. The bulgogi kimbap was perfectly rolled, flavorful, and moist—definitely a 10/10. The spicy pork pocket and bacon kimchi pocket were equally impressive, leaving me torn between the two. Each pocket was a unique culinary experience, with the spicy pork showcasing a flavor profile unlike anything I've encountered before. To my surprise, the fish cake casing was delightful, dispelling any initial skepticism I had. Overall, I can confidently say that every dish I sampled was outstanding, earning a well-deserved 10/10. Beverage: • N/A (Water) Sides: • Cabbage Kimchi: 10/10 • Horseradish Kimchi: 10/10 • Fish Cake: 6/10 • Banchan: 6/10 The sides complemented the meal beautifully. Both kimchis were executed to perfection, earning 10s across the board, with a personal preference for the cabbage variety. The miso soup was good but nothing extraordinary—just as I expected it to be. Appetizer: • N/A Service: 9/10 Service was a standout aspect of my visit. One employee was managing the host stand while attending to approximately six tables, demonstrating commendable knowledge of the menu and displaying kindness throughout my experience. I also interacted with a food runner who, despite being on her third day, was well-informed and personable. Conclusion: While the food at 'Ghama Zone' was a solid 10/10, the ambiance left something to be desired, warranting a score of 5. However, the overall experience, bolstered by exceptional service, results in a commendable rating of 8/10. For a total of $16.24, I left satisfied and eager to return, particularly for the remarkable pockets. I may not be an expert in Korean cuisine, but this experience has certainly inspired me to explore more.“

“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 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.“

“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 🥺🥺“

“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!“

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

“I often stop by to pick up some of their banchan. It’s a small and cozy shop, but they offer a great variety of dishes. The owner is Korean, so the food is authentic, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My favorite is their spicy chicken feet! 💗“

“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.“

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

“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“

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

“We've keep saying we were going to try this place and today was the day! Amazing food and absolutely great service. Small place with not much seating but it was very cleaning and our family of 4 enjoyed a table together. Definitely coming back. Thank you for great food and service.“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“KG bbq definitely lived up to the hype . Everything we had was delicious. We loved the spice to everything. Don’t skip out on dessert either both bread pudding and rice pudding were amazing . Definitely will be back !“

“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 🫶🏻❤️“

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

“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.“
