Reviews
The tteokbokki was solid, a mellow taste where the rice cakes were really nice. The rice cakes were not too chewy but not too hard, great texture here, they were beaten well.
The kimchi jjigae was big and solid, a classic comfort food. The flavors are not punchy, but rather calm. I wonder if the other dishes would have more of the spice, but I think this provides the more comfortable version of Korean food. This is Korean for all palates, not just the Koreans.
Overall, I recommend stopping by. Next time I’ll get the dolsot bibimbap, but when I work up an appetite.
Also shout out to Rose for taking care of the lonely diner, this was a restorative lunch, thank you!

Oseyo is a nice-looking restaurant, but the prices are on the higher end. We came for dinner on a Thursday night during happy hour. While the space itself was enjoyable, the service felt a bit slow. It took a while for our drinks to come out, and we had to check in on them. On the plus side, the food came out at a good pace. We had previously tried Oseyo via UberEats takeout and did not enjoy it, but dining in was a night-and-day difference. The food was noticeably better this time.
Tong Ddak ($16): It came with around four sweet and spicy Korean style fried chicken pieces and a side of house pickles. The chicken was delicious! It was super crispy, and the sauce had so much flavor. This was easily the highlight of the whole order and is what’s saving their rating.
Bossam ($16): Thick slices of pork belly that were soft from the fat yet crispy from being fried. This is best eaten right away, as it starts to get hard if it sits too long. It was great as a wrap with ssamjang and lettuce.
Do Si Rak / Bento Box ($21): My husband chose the bossam pork belly as the protein. The box came with three thick slices of pork belly, but it did not taste like bossam at all. The meat was really tough, looked like it was over roasted, and the flavor was inconsistent. The white rice, salad, and potato salad were just okay. The banchans (fish cake, green beans, and kimchi) were not good at all. We did not finish them and ended up throwing them away.
Mango Margarita ($10 HH | $16): Wow, this was actually really good. I really enjoyed this drink and found it well balanced and refreshing. I was a bit skeptical since it was the only cocktail on the happy hour menu, but it did not disappoint. That said, we were initially charged the regular price instead of the happy hour price. We tried calling the restaurant around 9:25 PM to address this, but the call went straight to voicemail with a message stating the restaurant was closed, even though the website lists a 10:00 PM closing time. I emailed them that night, and they refunded the difference the next day, which I appreciated and felt was handled quickly.
Pal O’ Mine ($17): This mezcal-based drink was not bad overall, but the salt rim was way too heavy and overly salty.
Kalbi ($42): This entrée came with rice, leafy greens for wrapping, ssamjang, and banchan. The banchan portions (cucumber, radish, and kimchi) were very small, though they tasted good, and we had to ask for extra lettuce wraps. There was also some meat left on the bone that we had to cut off ourselves. The meat was slightly overcooked, and the meat on the bone was burnt and chewy. It was not terrible, but I have had better elsewhere and do not think it is worth the price.
Our server, Rose, provided excellent service. She was very attentive and helpful throughout the evening.
The food was the highlight! The Fried Chicken and the dumplings were our absolute favorites and must-tries. It was also a wonderful touch to be able to speak with Owner Lynn, who came over to our table.
Highly recommend Oseyo for a great night out in Austin!
As for service, there was a bit left to be desired. A few notes:
– Our plates were not replaced between appetizers and entrees, even though they had remnants of sauce and bones from the appetizers on them
– they brought out 3 wipes instead of 4 with the finger food (we were a party of four)
-when our entree was brought out, a person at the table requested more napkins and was only brought two
– our server almost forgot one of our dishes until it was pointed out at the bottom of the cart
– I requested a refill of my loose leaf tea and was denied, even though the tea is high quality from steeping room and can be steeped twice
Overall, the food and atmosphere are incredible. I may be nitpicky, but when I’m spending higher-end prices there is a certain expectation of service that I feel could be met better. The staff are all very nice and helpful. They gave us great recommendations for both appetizers and entrees.
I ordered the dolsot bibimbap for dinner and a scoop of black sesame ice cream for dessert. Both were flavorful and delicious and very filling. I have celiac disease and they were knowledgable about which options I should avoid for cross contamination concerns, plus there were loads of gluten free options.
The bartender was friendly and welcoming, as was every other staff member I interacted with. The people who work there seem to enjoy working together which created a sense of warmth and community, making an already great experience even better. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town next!
