“The entire experience here from start to finish was incredible! Our server Rachel B was so sweet and personable. She made sure we made it on the happy hour menu even though we came right as it was ending :) the food was incredible and its definitely easy for your eyes to be bigger than your stomach since everything looks and tastes so good! It was mine and my boyfriends 1 year anniversary and the manager came up to talk to us which was very sweet and gave us a lil drink voucher as a thank you for coming in which really made the evening :) we will definitely be coming back!“

“I had the pleasure of being served by Metin during my recent visit, and I must say, his professionalism and efficiency were truly outstanding. From the moment we arrived, Metin made us feel incredibly welcome and well taken care of. His prompt service ensured that we never had to wait long for anything, and his attention to detail ensured that our needs were met without hesitation. Overall, our experience was greatly enhanced by Metin's excellent service, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience.“

“Very polite staff. I wish I'd caught her name, because our server was so sweet when I sent back the Jellyfish salad and she let me sub it for eel. There wasn't anything wrong with the jellyfish - it was well put together, and if you like spicy, tangy seafood dishes, then PLEASE give it a try.The eel was phenomenal, though. Sweet and savory, it practically melts in your mouth, and it goes very well with the caramelized onions.If you were our waitress and you see this, I was a little too shy to thank you as much as I wanted to. I really appreciated your patience and kindness. We were the fourtop in the booth right by the door.“

“Good service & very clean. Food took a while to come out , but everything was hot and fresh! We got battered wings tossed in buffalo & sweet & spicy sauce. Neither were spicy which was a huge disappointment, but still really yummy. We also got battered Lemon pepper wings which were really good. Will definitely be returning :)“

“This I our second time coming to this establishment and they were just as amazing as the first time. The atmosphere is amazing and versatile. This is can be a perfect spot for a date, or a business meeting, or even just hanging out with friends. They offer a verity of food. You will see the basics like pork bell all the way to exotic items like octopus. And on top of that, the staff is amazing and super friendly. If I could rate this a 9/5 I would.“

“Very attentive waitress and help my son with the cutting his food and any needs he wanted. She was just as welcoming to other guest!Food wise it was good. We had seafood pancake, Spicy seafood soup and the combo korean ribs and cold noodle soup.“

“Our go to sushi spot in Austin. Always good, reasonably priced, and reliable. They even have booths to mimic seating on a Japanese floor.Vegetarian options: Cucumber roll, agedashi tofu, miso soup, edamame vegetable tempura, and moreParking: When busy can be hard to find parking. May be able to park in lots next door, but not sure of towing policy. Entrance to parking lot is narrow and easy to miss.Kid-friendliness: The booths are more kid friendly for those with toddlers bc they can semi-walk around inside them without bothering other guests. You can also fit infant car seats comfortably inside and tucked out of the way. But you are required to take off your shoes for the booths“

“Sushi is realllllyyyyy yummy and at a good price! I find that most mid point sushi places slack on quality and freshness, but this place does not cut corners! The lady working there is also really sweet.I had the yellowtail roll, spicy salmon roll, and white tuna nigiri and it came to about $30 including tip.Went back again, 11/18/23 and everything was great! Salmon tartare was super refreshing!“

“This is my favorite restaurant in Austin, hands down. The food is always delicious with new additions to the menu every time we visit. The wine selection is diverse and tasty. The staff is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about what pairs well. I've hosted parties in their private dining area with rave reviews from all attendees! We've met the owners - they are so nice and it's very evident how much they care about the dining experience.My wife and I try all of the new restaurants in Austin and are often disappointed - Underdog is a great experience every time. Cannot recommend highly enough!“

“Chosun was pretty good. I usually get the dolsot bibimbap, and I haven't been in a while, but the restaurant changed the bowl. It's wider and flatter now, and personally, it was a bit harder to mix everything. Also, my friend ordered the yellow croaker, but it didn't come out until 10-15 minutes after most of our food arrived. By that time, my friend ate most of his rice with his stew, so I deducted a star because of service and the platter change. The servers were great though, and the restaurant was clean and spacious, which is always appreciated!“

“WOW. I was craving kimchi jjigae and they nailed it! The flavor was on point and the spice level was on the more mild side. The meal was perfectly portioned. My order was ready incredibly fast. It was a little confusing picking up my first order, since I paid online and went to pick it up-they use a locker pickup system. Overall, I would recommend and will be coming back! ?“

“Excellent sushi in an unexpected location. Dawa is a food truck in a funky food trailer park off Burnet. Which belies the level of food you are about to experience.The venue and the service are the epitome of no frills.All the effort. All the attention. All the care. That goes to the food.My kids loved the mixed options platter where my son discovered a love for octopus ?.There are many sit down establishments that charge quite a bit more that could stand to learn from this humble but mighty food truck.The gyoza were a huge hit as well.We will be back.(There is a shared Playground: it is oddly and very unsafely situated within the parking lot while nice to have a playground be careful of cars immediately outside the play area - this is no fault of the business it is owned by the space they rent from - but parent beware.)Vegetarian options: Did not feel like many “non-fish” options.Dietary restrictions: They can do sashimiParking: The food “trailer park” has parking - but it can quickly overflow at peak times.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly for kids who love sushi.Wheelchair accessibility: Not super accessible/ the lot is poorly paved.“

“These are the best wings I've ever had. The fry on all three flavors I tried was perfect and each wing had a generous amount of meat on it! My favorite was the honey garlic wings! I also got sweet potato fries and waffle fries which were so crispy and perfectly seasoned! The tteokbokki was nice and spicy with delicious fish cake in it too! The mala wings weren't as spicy as I wished but the flavor was great! The galbi wings also had a nice smoky flavor to them! I love this place, but be mindful they are a bit pricey!“

“Good food and good service. I came in for a group dinner and we had such a fun experience. Since we had a large group we ordered an array of sushi. My absolute favorite thing on the menu was the Hama chili special. I will come back for this any day. Also the matchi ipa was interestingly yummy. If you're sitting on the floor they will ask you to take off your shoes, so expect that depending on your where you sit.“

“This was my first time trying Korean fried chicken. Wow. I think this place is now our go-to. The wings and KJ Bites were perfectly fried and crispy. The onion rings were my favorite side - the onion doesn't come out when you take a bite! I was shook. I'll call it magic, but it's more likely that the chefs know what they're doing.We ended the meal with churros and ice cream. Definitely save room for dessert - perfectly fried churros, and the soft serve is the best I've ever had. No lie. Get it with sprinkles because we're all kids at heart. Speaking of kids - mine loved everything, including the creamed corn (I sadly only had one bite bc they ate it all), and of course, dessert.Kid-friendliness: Soft serve with churros and sprinkles made dessert extra special.“

“My husband and I ordered online we ordered the beef bulgogi bowl my husband ordered a large bowl with extra meat and white rice and I ordered the regular size with fried rice. It’s a unique experience because they have iPads that scan your order screen and it opens up the locker with your food inside it’s pretty neat. Apart from that the food was so good and hot my fried rice was flavorful but didn’t have an eggy taste it tasted so good with the meat it had veggies and they were perfectly cooked I didn’t order extra meat but I feel like it came with a lot.“

“Authentic Korean food. The food is delicious. Staff is friendly. What’s better is that it’s our late night spot. They close at 2am!!! The pork soup and kalbi are my constant gotos. Other dishes are good as well. We go here at least once every 2 e weeks.“

“My go-to Korean side dish place in Austin! I always get their gamja tang. I personally enjoy the taste of MSG (this place doesnt use MSG, which is a plus for those who look for a healthy side dish option!), so I add some MSG & shiso leaf (gget ip) when boiling gamja tang at home. Overall, this is a great place to stock up on your weekly side dish“

“Came in from AZ to get some great Austin food. One of my clients mentioned Chi'lantro.We bopped in for lunch. I had the famous fries. They were very good!The layers of flavors & sauces were spot on. Perhaps the fries were a little under done. If they been crispier they would have held up to the wet toppings better. My husband had a pop chicken bowl. Very good as well.“

“I came to check this place out after walking around Hmart and this place a great spot for a quick bite. I got the Mozza Dog and it was nice and crispy on the outside with a good amount of filling inside. I also got the Oh K Classic Egg Toast and the egg was light and fluffy and tasted great with their sauce on top. There is also a station where you can add extra condiments which was nice to utilize. There was a lot of space to sit inside and the workers were very welcoming. I would definitely recommend to check this place out.“

“The meat was tough and stringy like it had been there for ever. They were out of fries and wings an hour before close which was fine. But there was a huge idle of water on the floor and I put their wet floor sign up. It was my first time trying this place if the lady wasn’t so friendly I would have just left. I think it’s worth giving it another due to the veggie combo being so delicious.“

“When I went over last year’s budget, Jan Chi was the restaurant we had visited the most! So I feel like they deserve a rave review. Everything on the menu is excellent, and the staff are always so kind. Plus, they have a great little patio that flies under the radar. Thanks for feeding our family, Jan Chi!“

“This was my first time here, and it was a great dining experience. The service was very friendly and prompt. The shallot pancake was especially tasty. The vegetables, sides, and meat all arrived, and we were set. We will come again the next time we are in the area.“

“This tasty casual Korean food spot is hidden on the second floor inside the Dobie mall (above Target). It’s run by the same family for 30 years, and the food is every bit as good as I remember from undergrad. Unfortunately there isn’t any parking you have to walk or take the bus to get there. Great bulgogi, bimimbap, and spicy squid.“

“Visited this restaurant a second time, and has a much better experience. I had the Dduk Boki and milk tea before, and it had rice that was too clumpy and the milk tea was too small for what you are paying for it (you have to pay extra for boba balls as well). I had the Beef Bulgogi bowl this past time I visited, and it is really good. They may have improved the Dbuk Boki the past year, but I can definitely recommend the Beef Bulgogi bowl.“

“We enjoyed our dinner at Oseyo. Our favorite dishes were the fried chicken, japchae (vegetable heavy) and kimchi fried rice. We also liked the pickled vegetables in the ban chan. Since we read the reviews, we knew it would be trendy and slightly pricey and not hole in the wall Korean. Given those expectations, we enjoyed it a lot. Also loved the cocktails especially the spicy mango margarita. Got parking in the lot to the side of the restaurant due to an early reservation but it might be hard to find parking at peak times.“

“Solid location. I wish I had a lot more to say. It's clean, with plenty of seating, the food is good, and the staff is friendly. There's nothing about this spot that stands out, good or bad. And that's not a negative, that's really just a testament to Chi'Lantro's consistency for good food and quality service. I got a small tofu ssam last time I was here and took no time in devouring it while sitting at one of the tall tables with some friends. This is a pretty good spot for groups as the workers that day kept the line moving. Great for the mixed diet friend group as I was the only vegetarian and another member couldn't have fried food and she ordered herself a nice rice bowl. Someone else got kimchi fries. No complaints to be found among us.“

“Interesting Korean Tex Mex mix. I got the noodles with chicken and my own toppings. Maybe I should have tried the rice but my pregnancy taste buds make everything taste different. I will try again when this baby comes out. Husband loves the food here.“

“It’s a good problem when Izumi is STACKED with to-go orders delivery drivers zip in and out for. The staff are wonderfully helpful, no fuss and the food is a great delight in the face of the barrage of sushi restaurants in town. A wonderful mainstay in the lap of Westlake excellence. I love you “

“I like chi’lantro chicken bowls. Absolutely delicious food.I tried K-pop chicken and spicy chicken both and it was YUM.Taste -> delicious ?Price -> moderateQuality -> FRESHoverall -> 5/5FYI: They are lil expensive compared to chipotle and fire bowl cafe bowls etc but it’s worth I guess for chicken ? ? bowls“

“The food is always delicious and can be compared to a Chipotle with a slightly different menu. They have many options and combinations that stick out well. The staff at this location have always been friendly and quick. The Soda is one of the best parts. The pineapple cream is delicious. They always have fresh kitchen bits which is essential in this dish. I would highly recommend as I eat here at least once a month just to have a little Seoul in my soul!“
