Korea House Restaurant

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!

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!

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.

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. 💞
