Korea House Restaurant · North Austin
Korea House sits in a courtyard off West Anderson Lane, with a lily-covered pond outside and a lively dining room. The kitchen serves tabletop Korean barbecue, communal stews, kimchi jjigae, samgyupsal, and mandoo. Twice-fried chicken comes tossed with gochujang and honey.
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 Korean-American restaurant on East Cesar Chavez serving home-style dishes with a modern hand. The kitchen turns out soondubu, japchae, and bossam. Sunday brings Korean fried chicken and live music, while cocktails and the bright room make the east-side dining room a lively stop.
an nyeong k tofu & bbq · Brentwood
An Nyeong specializes in bubbling soondubu tofu soups served in stone pots, with an egg cracked in tableside. Korean barbecue and marinated raw crab broaden the menu. The Brentwood dining room offers several spice levels for the soups and banchan to share.
