We arrived for lunch on Sunday around noon and We were greeted right away! Everyone on staff was super attentive and very friendly. There were only a couple of people there. We ordered the kimchi jeon pancakes to start. It was delicious. Banchan came out first. The only thing missing was either macaroni or potato salad. I was hoping they had japchae on the menu but they did not. I had the bibimbap off of the lunch menu. It had great flavor and it was a large serving. My man had the GalbiTang And it was also delicious! Overall I recommend giving this new location a visit and trying many things off of the menu. We will be back to try more.

The ssambap is such a fun experience to try all the different meats. The grandma came by often to check up on us. They were willing to refill our lettuce and rice, and I also asked for gochuchang sauce. The banchan dishes are quite small, but you can ask for refills. Plenty of parking in the strip mall, and there are lots of tables here!

Visiting Austin, and decided on this spot as it was nearby…read more order the seafood tofu soap, medium spice level. i was suprised by the banchan that included some fish and also the OG style rice. have not had this rice in a while. most korean spots i frequent just go with rice cooker these days well, i still remember the whole tea and rice deal to get the crunchy rice off and drink after dinner as sort of dessert. not really, its pretty much just rice water in some korean tea.. not something i crave... i do like the crunchy rice bimbibop style... i like the banchan, the one that stood out was the white veggie noodle like one that was in kewpie dressing. i think it was cabbage. taste like coleslaw, so i think it is cabbage. total was 20 cash. there was 4% discount for cash. either way, i was doing 20 as dish was $16. end up with $3.40 tip 21% all good. and the soup was as expected. 5 star all day when u can get good tofu soup for 20 buck all inclusive...

We walked in at 9:03 PM on a Tuesday expecting they were still open based on the posted hours, but were told they had already closed. While I understand businesses have to close at some point, what was disappointing was the way it was handled. Instead of a polite, "I'm sorry, we just closed," the hostess greeted us with a condescending, "Uh, are you meeting someone here?" The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude and left a poor first impression. Accurate business hours and a more courteous response would have made all the difference.

Upon arriving it was a ghost town now my own fault i should of realized they were closing in 45min for lunch but being solo didn't feel I would be to long n it being empty I should of read the room n left but I heard some voices in the back n utensil clattering so i thought ok im not the only one (Yes my bad) no one greeted me , just standing awkward there was a worker at the bar (didn't work there, he greeted me lol n I was approached by a server eventually asking how many , now this would of been a perfect time for them to tell me they closing , kitchen is closed , no longer taking people n it would of been perfectly fine , I kick myself for just not taking the initiative and saying no thank you I can come back another day but I was so quickly seated didn't have the chance . I didn't feel welcome To the food ,.. looked as mold of some sort in the water glass (quickly fixed no fault on anyone) Beautiful spread of Banchans My fav were the braised potatoes n the Pajeon Soo good ! Now the bulgogi,.. Burt. at least the hot plate it was on Which ultimately make the food taste bitter n Burt as well,.. so as soon as I finished my banchan n rice I paid n left all with in 15 min . unfortunately this wasn't the me day experience I wanted again I take accountability on them almost closing but if ur going to seat me then I at least want to feel welcomed not a bother n food to be good , unfortunately this wasn't the case n I really wanted to love this place since I love Korean food -Prices were good for amount of food -Lots of options to pick from -Parking is plenty they even have no gym parking signs around incase I go at peak times - inside is super cute n open

My husband complimented her saying she's our favorite waiter ever(which is true) and her reaction was the cutest. Huge shoutout to Justine, thank you! My sons loved the short ribs for their first time. We were always weary about the bones but it slid right off. The macarons were also really good, we always get vanilla at other locations but they're usually hard like they've been sitting in the freezer for too long except for this Pflugerville location. Overall this experience has been our favorite.

I have been here a handful of times to enjoy their KBBQ. Overall it's a solid place to eat Korean…read moreBBQ, but if you're familiar with OG Korean BBQ it's not the same. It's a modernized American version where you can grill taco meat and other items. We came in recently on Easter to celebrate a birthday. The place wasn't packed, but there were large parties coming in after us. We stuck with the regular AYCE and were fine with the galbi and other meats. The soondubu (spicy tofu) soup was lacking flavor. It had the spicy flavor. All I tasted was the chili pepper. All the meats were good. The only downside this visit was the service. Our server kept forgetting a few of the items we asked for. It wasn't terrible, but it did slow things down for us. To be fair, he might have been juggling a lot of tables. I would still come again to eat the AYCE BBQ as it's convenient.

Narrow Street 512 serves up Authentic Korean food with a personal touch. It feels like you're eating a home cooked meal at your Aunt's home in Korea. I experienced Narrow Street as a solo diner. My go-to dish I order 90 percent of the time I go there is the Chadol Plate (A3). It is beef brisket. You normally need to go to a KBBQ spot and get covered in a layer of smoke. Skip smelling like a campfire and get A4 at Narrow Street. The beef brisket comes with rice served in a metal bowl. You get 3 or four small plastic containers of banchan the rotates seasonally. There is a variety of different kimchi, fish cake, corn slaw, potato salad and more. Once in a while I like to switch it up and I order the Cold Noodles (F1) or squid and pork stir fry (A4). The cold noodles are refreshing with crisp cucumber, white radish kimchi, and korean pear. The noodles are bouncy with a nice chew. Great in Summer and Winter. The Squid and pork stir fry comes with a bowl of rice and it is quite spicy. It is spicier than average but still less spicy than Thai chili. The chewy squid and pork are nicely complemented with the crunchy stir fried cabbage. Once you taste it you can't stop eating it. The price at Narrow Street very reasonable for what you get in my opinion. It is sit down restaurant quality food in a fast casual setting. You can dine solo or go in a big group as there is plenty of seating at the Hmart Food court. You place your order at the counter and they give you a buzzer to alert you to go pick up your trays of food. The Korean ladies who work there are super friendly and will help you make your menu selection if you have any questions. I've been a dedicated regular since 2023. Narrow Street is my go-to for my Korean food fix!

With all that being said, the food here is serviceable. It's fine, you're getting food court Korean food so if you temper your expectations. You'll get a little a tiny amount of like two banchan. My Yookgaejang was mild-ain't no other way of putting it. You can tell that the broth wasn't cooked with gochujang so you didn't get that rich, spicy flavor. Another visit I got the bibim naengmyun and it also just didn't quite get there. Just a little on the plainer side, not just talking about the lack of heat.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth and such positive energy. The welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and chill vibe made us feel right at home. Every dish we ordered was outstanding and packed with flavor. The seafood pancake was cooked to crispy perfection, something that's surprisingly hard to find, as it's often left a bit doughy at other restaurants. The steamed egg was light, fluffy, and comforting, while the spicy tofu pork soup was phenomenal. It had just the right amount of heat, with silky, melt-in-your-mouth tofu and incredibly tender pork belly that paired perfectly with a bowl of rice. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. At one point I accidentally dropped my chopsticks, and before I could even ask for another pair, one of the servers noticed from across the restaurant and immediately brought me a new set. It's those small, thoughtful touches that really set a restaurant apart. SOHA exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Korean food with genuinely exceptional hospitality, this is the place. It has officially become a must-visit every time I'm in Austin.

We did not know anything about it, stumbled upon it while were in the area. What a delight. An amassing service. Very fast and very friendly. Good interior design, great menu to satisfy any cravings. Nice selection of appetizers waiting for you on the table. Short ribs BBQ is a must. And it goes on and on. Everything we tried was up to par. I see some reviews share a concern regarding pricing. Lunch for three hungry people including tips was $85, For amount of food and the selection you get this is not even moderately expensive, this is a very reasonable price. This is definitely a recommendation.

It took about 20-ish min to get a table on a little busy of a Saturday evening. The staff were nice, fast, and attentive. My only complaint is that we were asked if we were ready to order as soon as we sat down. It was the first time for all 4 of us so we needed time to look around. I have to note that the meat quality overall is pretty good. We got a premium beef combo for a group of 4 and added some pork belly. It was a great amount of food and we were stuffed. The beer prices are pretty good, especially for large bottles. Banchan is fresh and tasted good, the staff made effort to refill it mid-dinner. Prices for individual plates of meats are rather on a high end for about $24 for 3 slices of pork belly. Adding lettuce is a must to make ssams. If you're not a forgetful kind (hi to fellow ADHD baddies) take advantage of hiding space under your seat to keep your outer layer of clothes and a bag away from the smoke and bbq smell. A note to the management: PLEASE, make your sound system play the music from the music videos that are playing on TVs. If I get to see BTS on TV, I want to hear them too. :,) We will return some time to try more options and for a round of somaek :D
