The restaurant is clean and spacious, with a good ventilation system, making the dining experience comfortable.
There is a wide variety of side dishes, but the overall flavors are fairly average.
Both of the grilled meats we ordered were marinated. The sauces were on the heavier side, but they didn’t bring out the expected aroma or depth, and the meat quality was just okay, lacking any memorable flavor.
Overall, this is a Korean restaurant where the atmosphere is a plus but the food is mediocre. It’s filling, but not particularly tasty.

Nestled next to a cozy pond inside the village shopping center. You will instantly fall in love with the atmosphere and general vibe of Korea house. It’s become a weekly staple for my girlfriend and I because it offers great lunch specials at an affordable price. The food is always hot and delicious leaves me with a bit of curiosity to try the whole menu. We aren’t afraid to go during our lunch break because we know the food always comes out in a timely manner. I have yet to try the KBBQ services but hope to do so in the future. Overall I highly recommend you give Korea house a try!

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.

Korea House is tucked away but there’s a not so bright sign that points you towards the right direction. Before you walk in there’s a peaceful lil pond w dainty lil lights.

I was promptly greeted and sat by the cutest lil halmeoni. Green flag. Immediately, I became even more excited for what Korea House had to offer. I ordered the haemul pajeon stir fried octopus and galbi tang. The food came out fast and hot. About $20 per entree. Large variety of banchan.

The establishment was welcoming and very clean. I liked the big open windows/wood accents. Service was also so friendly and kind. The owner, Vivian, was so sweet and told me that Korea House is the oldest Korean restaurant in Austin! Because ChoSun closed down I would consider this the most authentic Korean Restaurant in ALL of Austin. I hope they stay open forever.

All in all:Cozy. Authentic. Delicious.
Come here if you miss your grandma’s cooking and want to eat a warm hug.

Visited all the way from NYC and this is honestly the best Korean food I’ve had. If I ever find myself in TX, I will definitely be visiting again. Try the Bulgogi and Kimchi Jeon!

I wasn’t sure what to expect from here but I was wowed! The food is so good. I really loved the various kimchi options you get. The tofu rice bowl (don’t remember the exact name of the dish) was so good I couldn’t stop eating it. I would definitely come back and recommend it to my friends and family.

I’ve been eating at Korea house for a few years now & primarily order on DoorDash. I always get the bulgogi, side dishes & tonight tried the kimchi mandoo. (It was SO good)

I didn’t realize how close it is to my work and home but was pleasantly surprised when I found out that they did free meals once a month. I wanted to go & see for myself and we did come a bit towards the end so there was a bit of a wait but it was well worth it. They are a small women ran team and although shortage of staff they flipped all of the tables and kept it going until 8 pm.

Everyone that showed up left with a warm homemade felt meal & I loved that they filled the empty seats so that people could converse. Everyone was laughing, enjoying their meals, and we’re all so appreciative of Korea house giving back into our community. It was such an incredible experience & I hope everyone remembers to tip extra the next time that they come to visit.

UPDATE: First, I need to get this out of the way—this is probably the first and last time Korea House will ever prepare Soondae Guk for anyone. The ingredients (to get it perfectly right) are very hard to find in Austin. Because I am Korean myself and a regular at Korea House, I begged the owners to put an end to my search (4+ years) for authentic Soondae Guk (my favorite dish) in Austin by specially preparing it themselves. They were kind enough to prepare a Soondae Guk feast for me and my friends (a group of ten). It was also pretty pricey ($25/serving, which is higher than their usual $16 – $20/serving for their guk dishes on the menu). I also asked if they would put it on the menu, but they told me that it would hurt the business, most likely because less people would get it for its higher price and the profit margin is probably much lower than the dishes they offer, which I totally understand.

It was perfect. Best Soondae Guk I’ve tried in the USA and holds its own against the ones in Korea. From the first smell, I knew this was the real deal (oh, how much I had missed this wonderful smell). The blood sausages was cut by the chef herself (you can tell that this wasn’t some cheap factory Soondae) and tasted great, the intestines and liver (and other mystery pork meat) had the perfect bite and was full of flavor explosions, the bone broth was rich, and they provided all the essential garnishes and seasonings (chopped green onions, toasted ground sesame seeds, dadaegi seasoning paste, and salted shrimp). They also served it with rice (of course) and plenty of their usual side dishes, which I always love (except one of them). They checked in with us a few times to see if everything was great, and we had no complaints. Best dinner I’ve had in a while. 10/10 highly recommend if they serve it again (which they won’t for now). A good idea would be for them to add it on their menu as a special request or a preorder item and let people make reservations for it… just an idea.

Their other dishes are great too, so be sure to check them out if you haven’t already… and remember, the first Wednesday of every month is FREE (within their condensed menu).

ORIGINAL REVIEW: Best homestyle Korean restaurant in Austin. I’ve been here several times. The first Wednesday of each month is free, but the menu has much more variety and items to choose from when you pay, and portions are much larger as well. The items to choose from are still alright when I went for the free meal, and I would say one of the items on that free menu is among the best tasting out of the dishes I have tried regardless of paid or free. The food is mostly authentic, but I do feel like a couple of dishes were modified maybe to suit the American taste buds or because they just wanted to put their own spin on them. For example, I had the Yukaejang, and I felt like it was too peppery (not too spicy though) and covered up the bone broth flavor a bit, but it was still pretty good. The spicy baby back ribs was pretty good as well, and it had a nice sweet touch to it (not that spicy for my taste buds). I think the Bulgogi is too sweet, but it still tastes good. All these complaints are minor though. My favorite is only on the free menu, and that is the radish ribeye stew. It tastes similar to a Yukaejang and it has a very nice, rich beef flavor. They need to add this to their paid menu!

I think the free meal every first Wednesday of the month is a great idea. It is good for the community and I would bet it also helps the business by letting people try the food first so that they can come back whenever they are craving some Korean food.

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!

As Koreans, this was a very disappointing experience. I can only assume many of the wonderful reviews were written by those unfamiliar with authentic Korean food. This was very much reflected by the demographic of those dining on this Sunday night, as we were the only Koreans dining in this bustling restaurant.

First off, the bachans (side dishes) were not up to par with any Korea restaurant I’ve ever been to. Much of them tasted far too fermented and lacked the freshness that you would typically taste in a proper Korean restaurant.

We ordered 2 orders of the chadol meat to bbq (2 orders is the minimum) at $25 each, so a total of $50 for approx 12 pieces on each tray. Along with the meat, you receive a small plate of 4 pieces of green lettuce, some sauce and a few slices of jalepenos and garlic. Unfortunately, we did not receive the veggies until one of the meat trays was completely cooked and consumed. When the veggies finally arrived (after asking twice for it), we asked for another tray of veggies which typically is given freely at bbq restaurants but were shocked to find out that they charge an extra $5 for every tray of lettuce.

The other dish we ordered was the kimchi chim which is typically a dish that is cooked for a looong time to the point that the kimchi is falling apart. It should also be served very hot (temperature). In this case, the kimchi was not soft at all and it came out quite lukewarm.

We do not recommend this restaurant for anyone who is looking for an authentic Korean food experience. You will be highly disappointed.
