I liked that they had KBBQ and off the menu items so everyone could order what they like. I was happy to see that they gave a lot of side dishes with the KBBQ and all of them were really tasty. You can even ask for some complementary lettuce, garlic, and jalapeño peppers to go with your KBBQ. The food came pretty quickly and our server was very attentive and kind. We walked in without a reservation (there were 7 of us) and they accommodated us right away. The restaurant had a table big enough for all of us which was really nice since we were a big group. I would definitely recommend!
The exterior of Korea House is really serene with a peaceful pond, a little bridge, and calming zen music that set a nice tone before we even walked in. Inside, the space is roomy and comfortable, and the service was very warm and friendly. We sat in the non-BBQ section. We ordered the pork bibimbap, japchae, and kimchi pancake. The banchan that came with our food was plentiful and had a lot of variety. The rice in the bibimbap was mushy and lacked flavor. The kimchi pancake was bland, and the japchae noodles were a bit too chewy. Even though my friend was so excited for me to try this place, it didn't live up to my expectations.
I was quite excited to try another Korean restaurant in Austin, which unfortunately suffers from a dearth of quality Korean food establishments. I'm looking for wholesome, comfortable, whether grill-your-own or not, quality banchan, and popping flavors that make you happy inside. You know, the kind of place you might find in the midst of metropolitan areas with a high concentration of Korean eateries. As for Austin, the Korea House is located in the strip mall area adjacent to the Alamo Drafthouse. Entering, they asked if we wanted BBQ. "Sure!" why not? and they then proceeded to tell us all the grills were occupied, but! We could sit at a normal table instead. Fine with us--I had thought there might be a difference in the menus or something. There isn't. As we settled in, a Galbi Ssam Set, a Bulgolgi Kimchi Bibimbap, and a Seafood Scallion Pancake sure sounded enticing. We cut our own with scissors? I mean, that's fine with me. But the galbi was ridiculously fatty, the seafood scallion pancake had a slight unpleasant off-taste, and the bulgolgi kimchi bibimbap had overly hydrated rice (your water rice ratio is off!) resulting a mushy rice that had a difficult time crisping up on the bottom. But at least they provided nice lettuce leaves. I can see the appeal of this place. It's sort of nestled in a courtyard, and you have to walk over to the front entrance from the parking lot. There is potential to grill your own. There's the group social element. But I think the food quality is not there, based on how the basics have been prepared.
Great evening and first time visit to Korea House. Arrived at 7pm on a Friday and the place was about half full, and thank goodness because we were hungry. The hosts greeted us promptly and offered the BBQ (cook it yourself) or non BBQ options. We opted to let the chefs do what they do best. We were then seated and attended to by our waiter fairly immediately. It was nice to feel seen, and we quickly decided on our two dishes (though the menu had lots that I wanted to try). Both bulgogi dishes were great! The meat was tender (if a little fatty), the banchan selection was huge and delicious, and although it took some time to crisp up, my rice was a chewy and savory treat. I wish my bowl had a few more veggies on top (and I could have done without the lettuce), but I was able to use the banchan as a supplement. The gochujang sauce was fantastic if a tad sweet. The place itself was warm and inviting, with beautiful wood tables and soft lighting. The outside featured a dope pond walk and cafe lights, which gave a perfect option to linger. All accounted for, we were very happy and will be back!!
This one has been on my list of places to try and I do not regret it! Korea House is casually slept on. The service here was fantastic, from the moment we walked in we were greeted and seated very quickly. The place itself is very spacious and clean all around. The food was the best part! The mandu, kimchi fried rice, the kimchi Jjigae, and all the sides were so delicious! I'm sure you can't go wrong with any thing on the menu but those would definitely be my recommendations!
Had a delicious, comforting, and satisfying lunch here! We stopped by on a whim and were seated right away. The restaurant has a relaxed, welcoming vibe and was pleasantly busy for lunchtime without feeling crowded. I ordered the chicken bulgogi lunch special, which came with soup, salad, and a generous spread of banchan. The bulgogi arrived sizzling hot on a cast iron plate--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The side of rice made it a hearty, well-balanced meal. Service was excellent--everyone was incredibly kind and attentive without being overbearing. I'll definitely be back soon. A great spot for a cozy and delicious Korean lunch!
I was unfamiliar with the Korea House menu, so I chose the Kimchee Jjigae listed under Korean Stews. I liked everything in the description: kimchi, tofu, and pork. Because it was under the Korean Stew category, I expected a thicker dish. Instead, it was more like a kimchi broth/soup. It's not the restaurant's fault; I just didn't know what the dish would entail. When the server brought it to the table, it was steaming, looking very appealing. The "stew" was tasty and a bit spicy, which I like. It was a bit too hot at first, so I added the side of rice to cool it off and thicken it. Next time I will choose a cold item, like the Japchae that my friend ordered: stir-fried clear noodles with beef & assorted vegetables. The best part of the restaurant offerings is the "banchan," or a variety of simple and refreshing vegetable dishes to flavorful meat and seafood options. I especially enjoyed the cucumbers, sprouts, fish cakes, and daikon radishes. Yummy! The service could have been a bit swifter; it took a while to get water to the table. Once it came, it was nicely and refreshingly served in a metal carafe with metal glasses. The restaurant itself is tastefully decorated in a minimal Oriental style. Though located in a nondescript mall, outside of the restaurant is a lovely oriental garden.
Was in the mood for some Korean cuisine so decided to come to Korea House. The restaurant is somewhat secluded in a shopping center on Anderson Lane. Had to walk around the complex a bit to find it even though I have been here before. Walked in and there was not a wait. Was given the option for Korean BBQ or regular seating. Was seated at a regular table in the corner. The service was friendly but was a bit slow. It took over 10 minutes before we were an acknowledged and water was brought to the table. This was consistent throughout the dining experience. Ordered the dol sot bibimbap which is rice and meat and other toppings served in a stone pot. I was a bit disappointed because normally the pot is served very hot which results in a nice crispy texture to the rice at the bottom, but the pot was not hot at all. My favorite part of the meal was all the banchan that was served. Very generous with 10 bowls of different banchan to try. It was refillable so was able to eat more when we ran out. Favorite banchan included the fish cakes, kimchi and cucumber salad. Overall an enjoyable experience. Wish my pot had been served piping hot like the experience I have had in the past eating this dish. Also service could be improved if more attentive and responsive. Had to flag the person down several times because of lack of check-in and follow up.
As a Korean American, this is as authentic as it gets. My wife's favorite because of all the banchan (side dishes). In fact, my favorite is the bulgogi Soup (jigae) but it's not on the menu, but simply ask the staff and they will fix it for you. A majority of the other Korean restaurants will only give you a couple of banchan, but as you can see from the pics, they load you up. Tip: do not go for the KBBQ. There are far better places to get KBBQ than here, but for the traditional dishes, this is by far the best place in all of Austin. Staff is fantastic, and the owner, once a month, gives away free food to all who enter this place. So be sure to patronize so she can continue doing her good work!
This place is so lovely. My coworker introduced me to this restaurant as it is her favorite and I can see why. The service was great!, the food is tasty, the ambiance is cozy and welcoming. We had the lunch special, which was the right move as the portions were perfect. The seasoning is splendid. I had the chicken bulgogi with the seasoned thighs. That was awesome. You can't go wrong with any item in the menu. The location is perfect for a walk after enjoying a delicious meal. Will be back!
Long line outside on the first wday of the September 3 , free food event , hot sticky outside, standing in line was hard being pregnant. Needed to sit down, sweaty hot , . Nice outside music and water area flowers inside , not vegan friendly I asked as I am sitting inside today and can't take anything out and no straw's no to go container available for you , so bring your own vegetarians and meat eaters. Sadly I would not recommend this place for the vegans . But nice staff. Was not worth standing in line for hr. My friend got food and I didn't. So I would not go back unless they can make it vegan .
I recently visited Korea House with two friends to celebrate a birthday, and we had an unforgettable time! Cooking our own meat on the stove at the center of the table was a fun and interactive experience. We ordered the bulgogi, brisket, and pork belly. The bulgogi was hands-down the best with its rich flavor and that wonderful marinade. The brisket was good and the pork belly was a bit too chewy, which is to be expected given its fatty nature. The variety of flavors was truly remarkable. How can you go wrong with those dozen little silver bowls filled with kimchi, kimchi cucumbers, sweet potato jawns, and other such deliciousness? We also ordered a side of mussels, which were perfectly cooked and came in a delectable sauce. To complement the meal, we split two bottles of sake--the junmai and the nigori kind--both of which were excellent choices. The service at Korea House was fantastic. Our server was attentive and regularly changed out the metal cooking surface to prevent smoking. Although it had been a while since I last visited, I'm thrilled to have revisited this spot and look forward to going again in the future.

The BBQ is not all you can eat and there is a minimum 2-order spend if you want to do the Korean BBQ. We elected not to do BBQ because of this and sat at a regular table and got 2 shareables and 2 entrees. Price before tip was $57.39, not too high for the amount of food we ordered. The shareables were good portions (like a small entree size). The food was tasty and I loved getting the banchans with our meal. The only other off note was the smelly bus cart the server brought out to clean the table next to us. The garbage cans on the cart were stinky and gross and not at all great to smell while we're eating our fresh food. read more
Korea House gives out free food every first Wednesday of the month to give back to the community. I've been here 3-4 times for over 2 years now and the line just keeps getting longer and longer! I have tried a lot of dish on the free menu: Kimchi Mandu, Spicy Rice Cake, Kimchi Udon, Kimchi Jjigae, Bibimbap, and Ribeye Steak. The spicy rice cake is a must-get appetizer everytime I come here. It is always good but today they made it extra spicy and it was hot, which made it even better. All the entrees are okay though, given that it was free so it wasn't the best looking dish or piping hot. Also it is free so they don't give you a lot of meat. A bowl of soup would get like 2 pieces of meat or the bulgogi dish would get very little beef, etc. I have never gone here on a regular day and pay regular prices, so I can't say much about the quality difference when it comes to actual dine in. The prices are pretty expensive for the small portion sizes if you look at the actual menu, so take that into account! Note: during the free days, you can't order anything outside of the free limited menu where you choose 1 out of 2 appetizers, and 1 entree out of the entree list. And I believe the menu changes here and there, so check their social media for the correct menu :) read more
Another good find if you are having a korean food cravings. It's a nice restaurant behind a un assuming strip area. The restaurant offers a good variety of korean dishes, the price is descent, the side dishes is good , the staff are friendly and service is quick. read more

When I first got to this place I got a little lost because I did not know it is in the middle of all the shops and not touching a parking lot. It was cold and wet outside yesterday and the inside of the restaurant was nice and toasty. I ordered the rice cakes as an appetizer for my cousin and I which came out steaming. For the entree I ordered bulgogi and kimchi bibimbap which was sizzling when they brought it to my table. They also leave a bottle of gochujang so that you can add it to your bibimbap as you please. The bottom of the rice was extra crispy which I enjoyed a lot. I would say it's more on the crispy side compared to other hot stone bibimbaps I've had but it's good. They also bring out banchan which I forgot to take a picture with but it is sooo much banchan. I feel bad for being a picky eater as I wished those extra banchan did not go to waste. Overall the service and ambiance of this place is nice and chill. Will definitely need to come back to try their Korean bbq. read more

A hidden Korean spot that serves classic Korean dishes and flavors for an affordable price. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi and was impressed by the portions for a lunch menu item. There was plenty of banchan and a good amount of pork for the meal. An excellent spot for lunch! Make sure you walk into the office area, it's located in a strange area that definitely had me lost on the way in. read more

Every first Wednesday of the month they serve free food and we got to experience that giving back. We were seated very quickly and the food came out really quick. I was surprise to see how good the food was even though the restaurant was short on staff. The environment was really nice. I would definitely come back again read more

Pretty confused about the low ratings... this place was actually quite good! The spicy pork leaned more on the sweeter side, which I enjoyed. It wasn't as saucy as the other places I've tried but I didn't mind that. I decided to change things up and ordered something I've never tried before which was the tofu with house spicy sauce and ribeye pieces. The flavor was of the sauce was great! Would've been better if there was more meat in there to enhance the flavor though. My favorite was definitely the potato pancake with added cheese. It was dangerously addicting. This place was very generous with their side dishes/banchan. Location was a bit difficult to find but once you're there, you will see a lovely pond in front of the restaurant. Almost like a mini Japanese garden. So cute! read more
Korea House is a solid go-to choice for Korean food. It's all good and is a regular on our eating out rotation. We typically go for lunch and the service is quick and efficient. Note: lunch specials are only served Monday -Thursday. We went on a Friday and had to order off the regular menu. read more

The food is always good on the first wednesday of the month (it's free!). You get one starter for your table and then everyone gets a main dish. We got the pork bulgogi, beef bulgogi, ribeye radish soup, and the kimchi mandu. The portions are large that we have to take left overs home. It gets busy because a lot of students like going here on the free day so sometimes you have to line up especially at peak hours. Service is always super nice and they come out with the food fast after you order. The place is super cozy and it makes you feel like you're getting a home cooked meal. I recommend to anyone who is home sick and wants a nice warm meal. I will be going to get kbbq here soon because I love my experience every time! read more
I've been to Korea House many times over the years. It's consistently good. I met a new friend for lunch here last Friday. We both got hot stone bowl bibimbop meals. For some reason they don't offer their lunch specials on Friday which seemed odd to us. It's always easy to get a table here during lunch, and they have renovated it over the years so it's got an open feel despite being in a small strip mall type of area. I'm not sure if it's family owned but there have been some servers who have been there forever so it's nice to see familiar faces. read more

I used to come here a lot but stopped since the location is so far from where I live but every time I come I am surprised as to why I don't come more often. Today I had the Chicken Dolsot Bibimbap and it was delicious as always! Service is always super sweet and food always so fresh. I love all the options they have of banchan. They offer Korean bbq as well but I haven't had the chance to try it yet. The vibes definitely feel very home-y. read more
So we ended up in this restaurant on a whim. My daughter had a birthday & we took her to the place next door of it. We got done around 8 & we were soooo hungry. Sooo maybe a little too hungry. I don't know why my family makes me (the fat one) order because I ordered soooo much lol. I will say I didn't know it would be such big portions! I ordered: The spicy rice cake soup (we didn't even touch it because we ate so much BUT my family had it the next day & loved it. 20 fried chicken wings, first 10 had a cheese on it and the other 10 had a sweet sauce. Than I ordered another 10 of the spicy wings. I munched on these for 2 days lol So I ordered 2 of the Pork Belly. I didn't know they give you so much. I thought one order was already two orders & when the other order of Pork Belly came out. We were stuffed! The next day we made pork belly breakfast tacos yummm ! I made them with the short ribs vegetables (onion & bell peppers), corn tortillas and the pork belly & eggs. I also ordered the short ribs, which was kind of the only disappointment. They were VERY tough & chewy but flavor was good. The people were absolutely sweethearts. They were shocked at how many dishes we ordered for a family of 5. We had a crazy amount of leftovers but, I will say for the price, AND the amount of food we ate for the next 2 days, this place is worth it ! read more

Authentic and delicious food with great service! The inside is quiet, calm, and clean. Waiters and staff are welcoming too. Ordered the bulgogi bowl, which had a fried egg on top. The veggies were extremely fresh, and the meat was seasoned well. The seafood pancake was delicious, and perfect to share as an appetizer for the table! Very crispy and chewy at the same time, and lots of pieces of seafood embedded in the pancake! This place is located in a small shopping center with an Asian grocery store, dessert shops, and other Asian restaurants! Parking is free and easy! read more

Flavorful and fresh. Often times, Asian food can taste like it has been sitting in a huge vat and ladled out as ordered. This was not the case last night. I went with friends who are loyal patrons, so I let them guide me through the menu. We shared Mandoo and Hot Honey chicken to start. Both were very good though I liked the spice and flavor fullness of the hot honey chicken more. For the entree, I had Sizzling Chadol- very tasty. The bean sprouts were heated through and still maintained their crunch. Entrees are served with rice and pickled sides that the table shares. There was everything from celery root to kimchi. One of the sides (that was not pickled) was crunchy anchovies. I've never had anchovies prepared that way, and enjoyed them. The atmosphere is busy, but still reasonable for conversation. The restaurant has two sections- one where you can cook your food yourself at your table, and one where the food is brought already prepared. I'll come back to try stirring it up myself. read more

I honestly haven't been to Korea House since college so it had been about 10 years since the last time I've eaten here. The restaurant looks exactly the same as I remembered it in the past. My family and I came here for lunch and ordered the tofu soup ($13) and bulgogi ($15). Portions are on the smaller side but could be due to ordering the lunch menu vs dinner. The bulgogi was enjoyable. The banchan is pretty mediocre. What I really liked to highlight is their recent offering of free food on the first Wednesday (all day) of every month to anyone and everyone. This is so rare if not unheard of especially with inflation and cost of food in general these days. I had a chance to go in October and was blown away with the generosity I witnessed. The restaurant filled up within 20 minutes of opening. They give you a menu and you could literally order anything and as much as you wanted completely complimentary. They don't expect anything in return but I'm sure they would accept any donations/tips. I'm happy I got to reconnect with a restaurant I used to frequently dine at and see how they are giving back to the community. I love supporting local business especially the OG ones. read more

I'll confess I've never been to a Korean restaurant before so this was all a new adventure. I'm glad I started here because the food was delicious, the people were so kind, and I couldn't ask for a better introduction! The location in the Village Shopping Center is very unique and worth a trip by itself. It's like a strip shopping center built in a square with a center courtyard filled with lily ponds and a gazebo making a peaceful space. So that makes Korea House a little hard to find without a map since it's on the inside edge of the square and you have to park at another business and take a walkway between businesses to get inside, but don't give up! It's like crossing through to a whole other unexpected world inside. The restaurant itself is sparsely but tastefully decorated, featuring string lights and paper lanterns, a number of tables with built-in grills and quiet vent hoods above, and plenty of warm wood accents. There are tables outside too so you can enjoy the lily ponds in nice weather. And I loved the piano music that would be at home in a Final Fantasy or Miyazaki soundtrack that lends a nice ambiance without being too loud or distracting. Being a complete novice I ordered the beef bulgogi which was a wonderful introduction to Korean food. The beef was tender and so flavorful and came steaming on a cast iron dish. There were four cold sides that I didn't expect but we're fascinating too, if a bit challenging. While bean sprouts and kimchi might be an acquired taste it was obvious these were made with good ingredients and authentic like everything else. And to my surprise I almost crave the spicy pickles even now! I'd happily order this again in the future, but will try to explore more of the menu next time. Most touching was the kindness and love put into everything by the whole staff. Everyone was welcoming and the service was good, but everything was more personal than that and I even saw the owner who could enjoy retirement instead helping bus the occasional table, talking to a few visitors. That kind of humility and care means a lot and makes me hope more people support this treasure! read more

I love Korean BBQ so I was excited to try this place out. But I was a slight bit disappointed. The Dolsot Bibimbob was good and I liked the texture of the rice cooked in the hot stone bowl. We got the Ssam Set so that we could make lettuce wraps with our Galbi. I was a bit disappointed in the Galbi since the meat wasn't very tender and it was a bit hard to chew. The side dishes that came along with everything were alright. read more

What items are or can be made gluten-free?
Gluten are usually in sweet rice and rice cake so you should avoid Dongmanduguk soup
Do y'all have training chopsticks?
We do have chopstick helpers! “Fun-chop” plastic helpers- just ask a server to grab you a pair!
Which banchan do they have? I love when there's ssamjang and the little bits of garlic.
Not good, I can't recommend this place. Very disappointed on last visit. Nothing was the same. Ban Chan was slim and tasteless.
Are the BBQ tables only for large parties? Or could I get a BBQ table for 2 people?
You can definitely have a table for 2. My boyfriend and I went and got a bbq table without issues, just a long wait on weekend nights. I've only been to Charm once and did not do the bbq but I can say I liked Korea House better. I don't think Korean… Read more
