Bossam

Together Restaurant is a great place to go to for late night snacks, Korean pub food, and drinks. Compared to other Korean-pub style restaurants in Austin, I thought that the portion to price ratio was noticeably better. For the same price, our group was able to feed a lot more people with less dishes! We got the army stew, bulgogi hot pot, cheese buldak, bossam, and sundae bokeum (Korean sausage). They were all extremely delicious and I was pleasantly surprised to find a spot with good Korean bar food! The service could improve since the lady who manages the hall seems to be more comfortable with Korean and doesn't greet the guests very well. I'll be returning in the future to try more dishes, though!

Food was delicious. Drinks are great. Low to moderate prices. Good atmosphere. Not the best location and a little difficult to find

I went to this restaurant after seoulju was closed This place is so cute and has really good food! I got their yogurt soju and it was super strong, I wish it was more yogurt flavor than alcohol. The food was really good too but limited number of items. Workers were really cute and attentive to us though!

Food is ok. Ambiance is fit for late night hangouts with friends. Service is good since we're the only customers at 5pm on a Saturday.

I would give 5 stars but this place is seriously over priced. My boyfriend got bulgogi. I've never seen it with soooo many veggies. But that's okay. Veggies are cool. My son got the chicken ...fried chicken? The picture showed boneless fried ....it was super fried and had bones. So my son didn't eat much. Kimchi pancake is the best in Austin!!! The Budae jjigae was also good. Most expensive soup I've ever gotten. Not the biggest fan of ramen in my Budae jjigae but beggars can't be choosers. Also, sad that there was no cheese in it.

Korean Pub with delicious food! I love the vibe in this place, compact and low lighting with KPOP music. Price is considerably higher than other Korean restaurants in the area, but it is very good though. LA Galbi was delicious but only got 6 pieces for ~$19. Budae jjigae was ~$36, other restaurants you can find for $30 or less. 10 piece yangneum chicken for $17. But all food was delicious though!!! Just wish the prices were a little more reasonable for a pub style restaurant. Their online menu prices is NOT ACCURATE and up to date on some items. I love that they are open till 2am everyday, and no days closed. Can always count on them for a late night snack.

Lovely, low-key, HIGH quality. Outstanding service, but never intrusive. The cheese buldak is worth double anything they charge.

Located inside HMART food court Right next to the restrooms…read moreat the far back Service was easy and quick It's rustling and bustling so it's quite loud and busy. But very convenient. We ordered the ox knee bone soup. The soup was great and had lots of meat in it! I was surprised by how many different side dishes it came with because usually food court meals come with bare minimum. 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.

I recently moved to Austin in 2023. I found a gem tucked away in the back of the HMart food…read morecourt next to the hair salon. 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!

It is a quaint little place, not too big of a space so luckily they did not have a wait when we went. I give it a five star review because of the sushi. The food for me was good, not the best like not great, but it does satisfy the Korean food craving. Presentation of dishes was so nice and fun, the sushi was on fire literally. They start you off with banchan-kimchi, macaroni, onions, and fish cake. It's standard, nothing outstanding, but they do give free refills! 1. Taimatsu Roll - My favorite dish we ordered. It's saucy and has a nice play on textures because of the crispy fried bits on top. It is stuffed with a sizeable piece of tuna and has a sweet mayo sauce. It is definitely more fusion leaning rather than traditional. 2. Dak-Galbi - A spicy chicken dish with sweet potato matchstick slices and rice cakes. There could be more rice cakes and flavor. It was not spicy at all, more of that sweet savory taste you get from gochujang based dishes. The chicken was super tender and there was a good amount! 3. Beef Rib Stew - This was a warming stew with glass noodles, it is a basic soup that is salty and peppery (some may think it's bland). It comes with a bone in beef rib that is fall off the bone tender! Overall, while the food wasn't the most outstanding, I would definitely come back to try other items (namely the sushi). I would also love to try the inari tofu pockets I see online (not sure if they still have that though since I don't think I saw that on the menu). Also, their other fusion leaning dishes like the carbonara tteokbokki sounds interesting.
