I'm no Korean food expert. Ive only had Bulgogi rice bowls and kimchi Bibimbob a few times in the past. The first time being introduced was actually from a meal kit delivery service and loved it. Had bulgogi in LA once and both Bulgogi and kimchi / veggie Bibimbob on Delta flying to Seoul and Asiana Airlines as well.I mention that because each of those meals were tastier and more flavorful than the Bulgogi Bibimbob ordered from here. Yes, plane food was more flavorful than a restaurant, I'm sad to say. If were to use one word to describe the bulgogi here, it would be bland. The sauce (gochujang?) was mild as well and not too flavorful. don't know if this restaurant is toning down the flavors to cater to a broader audience or if this is a different preparation from what previously had but the flavors were just too muted for me.With that said, the food, while bland, was not bad. So try some other items over the next few months and see if this was a one off experience and update accordingly.

spicy pork was so wonderful and the service was really great

I enjoyed the food here, it was not as heavy as some other places and the portions were a good size. Everything was fresh and the glass noodles were delicious. The meals tasted great and they are able to make some customization if you have food sensitivity. It was not very busy when we were there so the service was great. I will have to go for lunch also as they have bento boxes and they look good.

4 stars for the food, 5 stars for the exceptional service. Our waiter, Samuel (?), was very funny and attentive. We ordered the Fried Chicken Wings, Haemul Soon Tofu, and Dolsot KimChi Bibimbob, and they were good. The fried chicken was very crispy but could use a little more seasoning in my opinion. Maybe it’s just me but the haemul soon tofu has a little too much sesame oil. Regardless, we had a good experience here thanks to our waiter and we would definitely come back.

If you are looking for classic local Korean food, this restaurant will definitely disappoint you! Seafood pancake is awful.

Delicious lunch of bulgogi, glass noodles, short tips and kimchi. Very friendly and helpful service!!

I had a really fun dinner with my friends. I had a delicious and generous dinner beyond my expectations, and kimchi pancakes, japchae, and bibimbap were really fresh and delicious. I experienced a taste that was more than what I ate in Korea. The server was also kind

This is one of the authentic Korean restaurant you’ll find in Austin. We came from OC area, and we were craving some Korean foods after having too much fast foods and tacos in the last few days. We’ve tried their DeonJang Jjigae(Soybean paste stew), Kimchi Jjigae, JeYook BokEum(Grilled spicy pork tender), and Bulgogi. The foods/side dishes were all delish! Some reviews said they are not the best Korean foods compared to some places in Cali or South Korea, but honestly they are pretty good in my opinion. If you think the food is kinda salty, bland, or sweet from the first experience, then you can ask them to adjust it. They’ll happily accommodate that. I would come here often if I lived in Austin. 5 Stars nom-nom!✨

What a great find. I had their lunch bulgogi box. It was amazing. I highly recommend.

Our first time trying this place. Both food and service was good. Seating was pretty spaced out and COVID hygiene standards were on point. Prices were okay and comparable to other Korean places. Recommend trying if you're in the neighborhood and in the mood for Korean food.
