I love their kimbop and the bento box. Even though the prices are a little high for college students, its always nice to have a Korean food place nearby campus. The inside is pretty cramped but they make a good use of it. Except the first thing you see when you step into the place is a trash can next to a bucket with piles of dirty dishes inside. I had the tofu bowl ($9) and expected something home-cooked. But what I got was more like Subway sandwich assembly line quality. The fried tofu was great. It was crunchy. A little bland but didnt have any weird taste of the soybean. However the vegetables ruined the overall experience. All of the vegetables (cabbages, onions, carrots), though they were fresh, were uncooked and unseasoned. I found the cabbages distracting, hard to chew. The onions still had that sharp and raw taste. The person who prepared my bowl put too much spring onions, which added more pungent flavor. He/she also for some reason put single broccoli in my bowl which was also uncooked. I like broccoli but it was just weird to find that one broccoli in my bowl, all lost and confused just as I am. I tried to finish the bowl because I dont like to waste food but ended up throw away all of them except some of the rice and the tofu. My stomach still hurts from that raw onion/spring onion even as Im writing this. The portion size was also too much for me.In short, the tofu bowl was a plain chaos. I hope they incorporate more seasoned herbal dishes (나물) in their menu because thats what I miss the most about Korean food. I would also love to see Korean style onigiri (삼각김밥). But really... if I ever want a tofu bowl, I would rather go to Don Japanese Kitchen up in Guad. Technically the same ingredients, better in taste and in price. Other things on the menus are fine. I just dont like to have fresh salad and white rice at the same time. But this place uses recyclable bowls to serve the food so thats a plus. Last time I was here, the guy who seemed like the owner asked the customers around for their opinions about the food. It was nice to see his enthusiasm and diligence, so thats another plus.

Found this place on a whim. All I have a say is, Galbi Jjim is amazing here. Tender and tasty. I had the dolsot bibimbap and I enjoyed it with the chili sauce. The soon tofu was also very tasty and tofu tasted so fresh. Overall, this place was great. Too bad its far from where I live otherwise Id come dine there more!!

Delicious Korean food! I think theyre menu is one of the smaller Ive seen for Korean restaurants but nevertheless, still plenty of great options to choose from. Food comes in large portion sizes. The only bad thing about this place is that its really small. Theres also bobba here.

My favorite items from here are the chicken katsu and spicy chicken bowl. The first seems to be some sort of kids meal because of how small it is. I hope they dont read this and decide to cater their spicy chicken for kids, too. Very flavorful food but very expensive (4/5).

milk tea taste good, but if i order a large, id like it if there were no empty spaces in my large cup. Else id order a normal if you give me the amount of a normal.

The soup was very filling though the rice side could have been a bit bigger. The atmosphere was nice and friendly a bit crowded. Definitely gonna visit again :D

Worst Korean restaurant in Austin. Lack of food quality and variety, and often serves with pretentious attitude and loud music. Emos Kitchen was way better.

Had the beef bulgogi last night and was thoroughly impressed. I will absolutely be back for more. Service was pleasant and refreshingly fast.

Food is authentically Korean. They are relatively quick and always friendly. I get the bulgogi kimbap, bibimbop, and/or the ramen.

The food is okay. Chicken katsu was way overcooked and the sauce was grainy. Not worth the price in my opinion.
