    Although the sauce for the wings was pretty good and spicy, the chicken itself was just okay quality under the breading. $7 for a can of beer is more expensive than a fine dining restaurant in downtown. You can't be serious? Chimaek is a whole point of getting Korean fried chicken, and this pricing is insane. Also up-charge for a side of a dipping sauce is unheard of for a fried chicken establishment. It's. Base-line item. Coleslaw and fries were average. You have to come to a counter to ask for a soft drink refill, you can't just do it yourself. What was a complete killer is an entitled mom who decided to change the diaper on a DINING in the dining area RIGHT IN FRONT OF OTHER COUPLE EATING. Literally. Photo attached lol. I'm concerned as of why employees didn't say anything? This is so disrespectful to the other guests that had to see and smell this whole ordeal. This must be a major health-code violation too.

    The wings even with the sauce drenched were still so crispy and the chicken was juicy and tender! And the fries were the best! No left overs!

    12 KJ Thigh Nugget and Chicken Sandwich

    I know Donkey Mo is on the list of one of the best Korean Fried Chicken in town but since I'm rooting so hard for BBQ chicken lol, I just havent make my way here yet until recently Ordered the KJ thigh nuggets and chicken sandwich. Pros: All their chicken is fried fresh, oil doesnt taste old, chicken is moist and juicy inside. Chicken sandwich has a homemade Thousand -like sauce that I like. Cons: Their fried chicken sauces options are limited and taste more or less the same (The sweet sauce is very similar to Donkey Mo, just not spicy) Also I feel like their chicken taste a bit bland, more like American style fried chicken than Korean imo. Anyway, it was overall good. Place is nice and clean, good for a casual meal. We didnt have to wait on Thursday night but it got more crowded around 8:30pm.

    The chicken here is pretty good and crispy. The sweet and sour spicy sauce is very manageable while the 7/10 donkey sauce was very spicy. The bone in wings are quite large. Fries and coleslaw was average. They ran out of cream corn, I really wanted to try that. Prices here are a bit above average especially at $7 a beer for an order at the counter type place. The employees here are very on top of cleaning. Especially when a mom decided to change her baby right on top of a table in front of another table that's eating.... The employees wiped it down right away. I would like to try the nuggets next time.

    Food was very tasty! They served our order pretty quickly. Thd environment felt intimate. Everyone in the group enjoyed their order. I can see Donkey Mo's being a regular spot for us :)

    Holy Donkey (top), Soy Garlic (bottom), Shishito Peppers

    Solid spot for Korean fried chicken! I'd say this spot is more of a 4.4/5. The 10-piece jumbo wings and an item from the snacks portion of the menu is the perfect amount of food for two people. The holy donkey sauce was the perfect amount of spiciness, which I'd rate as a 5/10 spice level--not too spicy if you're a spice lover like me. The classic soy garlic was also delicious! The wings themselves were so juicy and perfectly tender, with the breading crunchy and even. The shishito peppers were freshly blistered--they could've used a bit more cooking (personal preference), but the seasoning was just right. You also get a very generous amount of peppers for the price. Order at the counter, and pick a spot at one of the many tables. Your name will be called when the order is ready. Ambiance is causal but the decor/music is vibey.

    Decided to try this place instead of going to BBQ chicken, and tbh I kinda prefer it over Donkey Mo's! The wings are big but the batter felt quite greasy. We got the holy donkey sauce and sweet and spicy. Holy donkey was actually pretty spicy, but not that much flavor besides that. Sweet and spicy was pretty decent! We also got the tteokbokki and it was...unique? The tteok was fried and it was topped with gochugang sauce, ranch (???), and fried onion. It was very different than traditional tteokbokki. We had a hard time deciding if we liked it or not lol.

    Beer, korean fried chicken, fried sides. All perfect after a long day of work. This place is pretty solid compared to the other korean chicken places in Austin. The 6-piece wing combo is more than enough for a person and there are a lot great sides like the fried pickles and sweet potato fries that are perfect complements to the crispy chicken. It's definitely on the heavier side but I know what I'm getting into when I come here. The workers are helpful even though it's not a full-service establishment which I appreciate. I'm also a fan of the decor and R&B vibe. The spiciness isn't too crazy unless you had the chili flake rub which elevates the taste. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the bacon kimchi fries but I'm generally not a fan of loaded fries anyway since all the ones in the middle and the bottom become soggy.

    6 Wings, Spicy Fried Rice Cake

    We've been waiting for another Korean Fried Chicken spot to open up since there aren't many options in the area, and this one did not disappoint. It's a bit tucked away and not surrounded by many other restaurants, but it's absolutely worth the trip. We ordered the 6 jumbo tenders with both the sweet and spicy and soy garlic sauces. Both were packed with flavor and delicious. We also tried the rice cakes; they weren't super authentic, but still really tasty. Prices were reasonable, which was a nice bonus. The vibe is somewhere between quick-serve and sit-down, and the person at the counter was super friendly and helpful. If your only experience with Korean Fried Chicken is BBQ Chicken, this place is a must-try. Highly recommended.

    I was too broke to tip so here's the next best thing. Honestly 11/10 We had the chicken dumplings we loved that they came sauced up We also had the chicken nuggets and with sweet and sour sauce , the crunch and the flavor it's just like picture Had a side of onion rings they were good nothing crazy.

    Crispy Fries
    Tracey L.

    There was a short wait and a simple menu. I ordered the soy garlic chicken wings with sweet and spicy sauce on the side. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was the perfect mix of salty and savory. The spicy sauce on the side was the perfect addition. There's not that much seating so I wouldn't come here during rush hour with a big group. This place is definitely worth going to if you are craving Korean chicken wings.

    I came in with a couple friends and overall felt it was good Korean fried chicken. You can choose two different sauces for the 10 piece wings or 20 piece nuggets, so I had the wings in soy garlic and sweet and spicy. My friend got the nuggets and it seemed like way more than 20 pieces so I think that was really worth it. The breading is super crispy despite the drizzle of sauces. The sweet and spicy was surprisingly not very spicy at all but flavorful. Of the sides, we tried the corn and the cole slaw. The corn was sweet but kind of plain and I liked the slaw but felt the portion was a bit small. One thing missing is Korean friend chicken places often give pickled radish with an order of fried chicken which they don't give here. Service was friendly enough and the seating area is nice. There aren't any condiments to self serve though.

    Bacon Kimchi Fries
    Terry A.

    The food was pretty good. Wings were juicy and the sauce was generously applied. Offered my bacon kimchi fries to the table next to me because it seemed a little too fishy for my taste. The service was decent for whatever counter ordering is worth. Came in during lunch and ambiance was casual.

    Korean food is probably the category I'm most critical of when it comes to restaurant reviews. As a…read moreKorean American who's spent a lifetime eating great Korean food at home and in restaurants, my standards are high. That said, this was easily the best Korean meal I've had in Austin, and honestly, it might be the best I've had in Texas. The soondubu arrived absolutely piping hot. I ordered the mushroom version, and it was packed with a wide variety of mushrooms rather than just a few token pieces. Even when ordered spicy, the broth still had incredible depth and flavor that wasn't just heat for the sake of heat. The tteokbokki was addictive. We ended up adding cheese and ramen, which took it to another level. The marinated kalbi was equally impressive: high-quality meat with very little fat and generous portions. The banchan was also top-tier. Standouts included the soy-glazed potatoes, fresh kimchi, and japchae. They also serve purple rice, which has a wonderful chewy texture and feels like a more thoughtful alternative to standard white rice. The food alone would bring me back, but the service was excellent as well; friendly, attentive, and efficient. We came for an early dinner and got seated right away, but if you're planning to come during peak dinner hours, expect a wait. The locals clearly know this place is something special. Huge parking lot and the dining area is bright and airy, even playing the world cup games. Seems to be very family friendly.

    Good banchan, but everything else was pretty mid if you're used to Korean restaurants in larger…read morecities. The cold noodles had a great taste, but were not served with any accompaniment except some ginger. The six pieces of galbi we ordered included one piece that was purely gristly and bone. No seasoning and weirdly chewy meat on the remaining pieces. I wouldn't recommend the BBQ here. We had a pretty uncomfortable table wedged between a large family dinner and the server station, blocked from the windows by a giant wall.

    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 got seated right away, staff were super friendly, and service was lightning-fast and efficient. We went with the AYCE BBQ Option B "Deluxe," which includes everything from A + B for $36.99 per person. Totally worth it--the selection is huge (various cuts of pork and beef, plus even octopus). But honestly, the real standout is the banchan (sides). Portions are generous--stuff that would cost extra at most places comes included here! Our favorites: the steamed egg, cheesy sweet corn, kimchi soup, and especially the fried dumplings. (Pro tip: toss those dumplings on the grill in a little meat grease to crisp them up... thank me later!) All I can say is--when I'm too lazy to make KBBQ at home and craving endless side dishes, this is where I'll be.

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!

I would highly recommend this place - the location is kind of hidden in comparison to the other stalls with bright signs so I can see why people end up eating the other places tha this spot.

Parking is decently okay, my only complaint is the spaces are small and I don't have a big car, just a 4-door sedan and it barely fit in the spot. So if you have a big car or a nice one, I would recommend parking a bit further away and just walking to the restaurant. I am going to focus more on the cooked items as most people here already gave their review on the sushi. Hangover ramen, not too bad. It is like Shin Ramen Instant Noodles with a lighter flavor, nice touch with the bean sprout as it is a needed texture element. Add the gyoza into it and it makes it even better. Cucumber salad, not bad at all. It is missing a bit of spice to it. A touch of chili oil on it would kick this dish up a bit. It is refreshing and a must at the table. Truffle fries, please skip this. No salt on the fries if you are okay with it. It is just a bit of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. It is lacking in flavor. Yaki Udon, skip this as well. Not sure if it was just the day I went but the sauce was not so great. It was this sweet and sour taste but it was swimming on the bottom of the bowl like the sauce was poured on top of it at the end instead of being stir-fried into it in a wok or a pan. The first few bites are okay but the bottom half is just swimming in that sauce. Spicy Pork Bulgogi, decent size overall, not too bad. I would order like kimchi rice to eat with it next time if I come back. I do wish it was a bit more charred just to give it a bit of a textual element to it. also another thing to note, the bathroom is shared with the restaurant next door to it.
