Korea House Restaurant · North Austin
One of Austin's original Korean restaurants, Korea House sits in a West Anderson Lane courtyard serving kimchi jjigae, samgyupsal, and mandoo. Tabletop grills, banchan spreads, and stone-pot bibimbap fill the menu, and it took the Austin Chronicle readers' poll for Korean food in 2024. Longtime regulars treat it as the dependable, unfussy standard for North Austin Korean cooking.
Chi'Lantro · South Lamar
Chi'Lantro started as a kimchi-fries food truck and grew into a Korean-American mini-chain with several metro locations. The menu leans on build-your-own bibimbap bowls, Korean barbecue tacos, and those namesake kimchi fries piled with caramelized onions and a fried egg. The South Lamar spot is a quick, affordable way into the fusion style that helped put Austin's food-truck scene on the map.
Oseyo · East Austin
Oseyo is a contemporary Korean-American restaurant on East Cesar Chavez serving home-style dishes with a modern hand. The kitchen turns out soondubu, japchae, and bossam, and Sunday brings Korean fried chicken and live music. A finalist in the Austin Chronicle's Korean category, it draws a crowd for its cocktails and its bright, welcoming room on the east side.
an nyeong k tofu & bbq · Brentwood
An Nyeong specializes in bubbling soondubu tofu soups, served in stone pots with an egg cracked in tableside, plus Korean barbecue and marinated raw crab. The Brentwood spot earned a finalist nod in the Austin Chronicle's Korean category. Come for the range of tofu-soup spice levels and the banchan, a warming, comforting corner of the city's Korean scene.
