    Teriyaki chicken bento
    Marsha C.

    At Kochu, you order at the counter and get a number to set on your table. The food is cooked fresh so it takes some time to come out. Our group had the chicken teriyaki bento, Galbi bento, spicy chicken and cheese ramen and the Yangyeum K-Wings. The wings and Galbi were my favorite. The chicken teriyaki was just ok. The spicy chicken ramen was a little too spicy for me but it was super tasty.

    Everything I ordered was delicious, but the wings were particularly great. Perfectly crispy + juicy. I REALLY want to try the super spicy wings next time, I'm sure they are even better.. Can't speak to service or the store as I ordered through DoorDash, but highly recommend for great Korean food/wings.

    Bulgogi Bowl and chicken Yangyeum FIRE K-Wings

    Another successful trip to Kochu! This place really satisfies our Korean chicken cravings. The creamy ginger sauce and radish you get in the side are great for breaks in flavor. Well done, as always!

    This was a great Korean restaurant. There was a lot of variety with the bento box I got and it was a very filling lunch. Overall the atmosphere is upbeat and lively and I loved all the artwork at the location. It has an almost open kitchen concept so you know the cooks are hard at work making your order. There is a lot of variety here and many things I hadn't tried before but really look forward to trying on my next visit like the buldak covered chicken wings which I think was a special but I hope they keep it around so that I can try it. You can't beat Korean fried chicken! I will definitely be back and really enjoyed my experience and highly recommend this place.

    Authentic, hearty Korean food. This restaraunt completes the holy quadfecta of a 5 star lunch spot - delicious, healthy, affordable, and quick. The portions are also very generous. The Soegogi Muguk ($15.95) was A+++. My friend got the bibimbap with bulgogi ($10.95 + $4.95) and he really enjoyed it. Order at the counter, grab a number, and food is brought out to you. The inside is bright, casual, and clean.

    Very nice fast casual Korean eatery. The service is quick and very good selections. Friendly staff. We tried the Bulgogi bowl, Spicy Squid Dosirak Bento, Spicy Pork Dosirak Bento and the Soy Garlic Wings. The food are all taste great. This is a good find.

    Spicy Jeyuk Bowl

    Kochu is a casual korean restaurant specializing in rice bowls with pretty authentic flavors and good portion sizes. They give a lot of rice, but I do wish the proportions were better. Like more meat and vegetables. We also got the kimchi fries, which were good but I didn't care too much for. And the k-wings, which I liked a lot! The sauce was delicious, the chicken was crispy, and the inside was not too dry. I will say it was more expensive than I expected. The base price isn't the worst, but I was expecting more meat. And then if you want extra of anything, there's a surcharge. Even for sauces! And adding meat is like an additional $4/5. Overall a solid spot for when you're craving some Korean food, but not exactly a place where you'd have the best food of your life.

    Honey Sriracha K-Wings
    Rachel W.

    Great KFC!! And a super reasonable price too. An order of k-wings is 8 pieces and it comes out nice and fresh. I came with a party of 9 and they had put a table together for us since I called in advance. I like how everyone can scan the QR code and order/pay on their own. It avoided the hassle of putting everything on one check and having to venmo request people. Service was friendly! I really enjoyed the honey sriracha wing flavor and also got a side of pork gyoza that was decent. The gyoza were a bit smaller in size than I expected, but nothing to really complain about. Definitely come check this place out!

    THE BIG: Located in North Austin inside the Crossroads Shopping center facing Burnet Road. Small eatery spot but it packs quite the menu. Plenty of parking in the lot. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here for something quick and korean. Kochu showed up on google maps and I'm surprised how I never knew about this spot before. Very industrial interior with order first and then sit down and eat. We got the Korean fried chicken and jjajangmyeon. The jjajangmyeon reminded me of the chinese version and the buckwheat noodles were delicious! The korean fried chicken came in a couple of flavors. We got the spicy soy garlic. A staple and oh so good. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done for two dishes was around $30, not bad and a very delicious meal for those seeking casual korean fare. Will be back!

    Ordered delivery. The beef kelp soup and the vermicelli were satisfying and the overall flavor profile was on the heavier side. Very authentic

    Black bean noodles (Jajangmyeon)
    Sirio B.

    Its a solid 3.5- This is a newer Korean spot off Burnet with a counter service style. Went in and it was pretty straightforward- you order at the counter and they drop off your food at your table. Its no frills and very casual. I got the Jajangmyeon and the Bulgogi platter. Flavor wise it was good, i wished the jajangmyeon was a bit more flavorful as it bordered on bland. The pork helped punch it up a bit. The bulgogi was solid though, and with the fried rice it was good. My only issue with the proteins was the price, for galbi and bulgogi they were getting close to full service Korean restaurant prices. If you're charging premium, maybe offer a bit more service. Just my two cents. Otherwise it's a decent fast casual korean place if you're in a hurry.

    Very causal vibe upon walking in, it can almost serve as a fast causal restaurant. If I was going to introduce someone to Korean food, this would be a good place because Kochu definitely has popular dishes that are wonderful introduction to Korean food. We got the chicken wings and bulgogi plate. The chicken wings were crispy and definitely well priced. The bulgogi plate had really good meat but I just wanted more flavor in the japchae and kimchi. I would definitely come back here for the wings.

    good, casual Korean eatery with popular items like the Korean fried chicken wings, kimchi fried rice, and bulgogi bowl. Some critics mention that the portions for the bowls could be better for the price and that the jajangmyeon noodles weren't the best, but overall reviews highlight delicious, authentic, and generous food. This place is great, very casual Korean cuisine with popular items like the Korean fried chicken wings, delicious kimchi fried rice, and great bulgogi dishes. The cuisine is authentic with some dishes providing generous portion sizes. The atmosphere has good vibes and the seating arrangement is good achieving its goal of casual networking and with a twist of intimate dining. The services is good with very attentive and accommodating staff.

    They offer tofu and are able to customize dishes for vegetarians.

Nothing else really comes close. The chicken is excellent, but the fries deserve a special mention, they're perfectly crispy and coated in a cheesy, spiced seasoning that's completely unique and insanely good. I've never had fries like these before. There's plenty of parking, and the area is usually quiet unless the nearby brewery has live music. The owners seem nice as well.

The tenders are okay, since I got mild it wasn't really flavorful and the dang sauce isn't very flavorful either. Food was made to order because it was HOT. The brewery area is very cute and fun but the parking situation is not great.

The waitress was friendly and she brought us water fairly quickly. The garlic Parmesan fries are a must order and they were expertly fried and had a spectacular crunch and texture. The garlic was very balanced and not overwhelming, and they were super generous with the amount of Parmesan. The chicken wings were also equally amazing with a super crunchy, light batter, well seasoned chicken and the sauces were delectable. I really liked the honey garlic Parmesan because it is unique and not something I've had before. The sweet soy was also nicely balanced and paired well with the wings. The Ruma's chicken crispy pops was good, but I wish the pieces of chicken were slightly bigger so that the ratio of batter to chicken would be less overwhelming. The sauce was more sweet than spicy and it would have been better if they added a Mala spice component. My diagnosis: come here for exceptional Korean wings and craveable garlic fries

As I walked up to the easy to find and steps from the PURPLE PARKING GARAGE restaurant, I was already vibing off the patio. Totally giving vacay veranda. The hostess greeted me with a smile, and I dipped into the restrooms before I asked about our table. Of course, I went for a patio table and while I didn't enjoy the occasional fly zipping around, the shaded and breezy tables were perfection on a Sunday afternoon. Our server was Jamie and he was absolutely a DREAM. I was fully prepared for that awkward wait at a table alone when you're lunch date is running late and you have no idea exactly how late... From the moment I was seated alone, Jamie introduced himself, was warm, and fully engaged in manifesting a wonderful experience. He was mindful about sharing just enough with me about the scratch to table mission they have at Doc Bs while saving the good stuff for when both my friend and I were present. My friend ended up going with their special and it was TO DIE FOR!!! I want to say it was Chilean Ahi Tuna Salad? It was some sort of voodoo magic seared onto the Tuna, and they present it like dominoes across the bottom of a giant pile of delightful, chopped salad. I did the Buffalo Chicken Salad, and I ate every crunchy blue cheese tickled bite! Waiting on a friend too? My safe go-to order was the Guacamole! They bring it out with the Sweet Potato Chips - HOUSE MADE and Jamie gave me Tortilla chips too in case my friend preferred something different. They have fans on the patio, so it's not too hot. I'd complain they didn't have the wine I wanted, but when they didn't have my first request, not only did they bring me my 2nd request, but the gentleman from behind the bar walked over a taste of a comparable wine to the one I had originally chosen and I absolutely appreciate that extra effort to make sure I felt valued and seen. Way to go, Doc Bs! **Note: When a fly decided to take a dive and a swim relay in my glass of wine, they didn't bat a lash and replaced the glass for me and seamlessly disposed of Fly Guy in all his drunken Memorial Day glory!

You'll certainly pay for it, but at least you're getting high-quality food and drinks.

The guacamole with sweet potato chips is also superlative, and reasonably substantial in terms of portion size and satiation. For the best value, definitely hit up the lunch menu, where you can get a "wok out" bowl with tofu; a highly competent vegan option. I only go once every year or two, but service is always on point and I never walk away unhappy with my meal. Just make sure you have the budget for it!
