Narrow Street 512 is located in the back of the food court at HMart. This restaurant serves traditional Korean cuisine in Austin. The owners have experience running restaurants in Korea and I would classify this as authentic Korean cuisine. You place your order at the counter and are given a buzzer to alert when your food is ready to be picked up. The menu board displays a visual of most of the menu options and it is very appealing to see what you will be getting. They offer Korean BBQ dishes, udon, soup and cold noodle. My favorite thing to order is the cold noodle Nengmyeon served in a cold & icy broth that is savory, tangy, slightly sweet, and very refreshing. The broth is made of a mixture of a lightly seasoned beef broth and Dongchimi brine. The noodles are made of buckwheat, arrowroot, and/or potato starch. It has other ingredients like sliced cucumbers, Korean pickled radish, crushed sesame seeds, hard boiled egg, asian pear and a slice of beef. I usually add some imitation crab from HMart to the dish for the perfect amount of protein, but was informed that this is not a Korean thing to do. They place the cold noodle bowl on a tray and serve it with vinegar and mustard. I never add any of these condiments but just enjoy the broth as is. When finished, you can return your dishes and tray to a shelf. It is a good portion size of food and usually take some home to enjoy later. Will keep returning in the future for my favorite cold noodle dish and hope to try some of the other items on their menu. read more

We just luv Narrow St. We thoroughly enjoy all their offerings. My seafood bowl fed me to a full filling level twice. The broth was better the 2nd day. You can easily split and entrees. But there is no fun in that! Ask for extra spice/heat on the side. read more

Fantastic cold noodles - some of the best I've had in town. Get the spicy version! Quick service.

If you are a seafood lover but never tried Narrow Street 512 Spicy seafood udon soup you are seriously missing out! The seafood broth is so rich and complex flavors! It's the ocean bursting in your mouth. The udon is the perfect amount of chewiness and spring! Octopus, mussels, shrimp, cabbage, and all sort of nuggets of treasure in this bowl. Seriously is the perfect eats for a cold day or a meal to not feel guilty over. This is my second time trying this dish and every time I am just blown away the consistency of the flavor they were able to extract out of the seafood. You can order it to the spice level you prefer. No spice, mild, medium, & spicy. I chose mild and it wasn't spicy. It was perfect for me. You order at the shop then they provide you a beeper to let you know when your food is ready. It took about 10-15 mins for the food to be ready when I ordered. That's a Friday during lunch rush. Do I recommend this place? Yes! Calling all the udon, soup, and seafood lovers to try this dish! Highly recommend this dish. I haven't tried their cold noodles yet but that's coming next when I visit again! read more

There is never a wrong choice when it comes to getting a meal from Narrow Street. The prices are amazing for the amount of food you get and the side dishes are so flavorful. My favorite thing to get here depends on the season but it's either their naemyung(cold noodles in a vinegar broth with veggies and meat), or the hangover soup. Their sizzling hot plates are good don't get me wrong but their soups are a nice warm(or cold) hug. The hangover soup has huge chunks of meat that fall off of the bone. It's so tender and has such a rich flavor. There are chives, perilla leaf(I think), and kimchi in there that are also super tasty. Would definitely recommend coming here and giving them a try next time you're shopping at HMART read more

First time here with friends. I enjoyed my spicy seafood udon, didn't think it was very spicy, the spicy squid basically had the same flavor as udon but the squid was very tender. Others enjoyed their cold noodle, one with and without soup. read more

Came for a quick dinner because one of us was really craving hot kimchi soup. We found what we were looking for and more! We opted for the kimchi soup and the vegetarian stir-fried udon. The seasoning for the kimchi stew was a bit on the heavier side, but overall, it was an okay stew--definitely a top option on a cold night! The vegetarian udon came out on a pretty big plate and was hearty too! The flavor was decent, and it was just a nice vegetarian option to have. We also ordered two sides of kimchi for $1 each. It's a pretty affordable price, but unfortunately, the kimchi wasn't what we expected--it wasn't really spicy, nor did it pack the fermented taste we usually expect from kimchi. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The sitting area is set up pretty nicely, a good place for groups of friends to try different dishes together![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

If I could give this place ten stars, I would! Narrow Street makes my favorite dish: the spicy pork fried udon. The noodles are perfectly chewy, the sauce is spicy, flavorful, and plentiful, and the pork is always tender and delicious. The woman who takes the orders is incredibly kind, and every visit is a happy experience. I love eating here, have brought many friends to try it, and I always look forward to coming back! read more

Stir fried udon and udon soup are a must at Narrow Street 512. Our favorites are C1 and C3. The portion is generous and packed with lots of protein and udon. The stir fried one is cooked to perfection - the udon is well cooked with a nice chewiness to it, the vegetables just kiss the pan so it adds a nice crunch to the dish, the seafood is rich in flavor. All is tossed in umami seasonings and chili powder, giving a nice kick. The soup version will warm your heart and your soul. If you don't request any specific level of spice, it will be regular and it IS spicy. You can ask to make it less spicy or more spicy. Udon is also perfectly cooked in the hot broth without being mushy even though the heat is well kept in the stainless steel bowl. The stir fried udon with beef bulgogi is not my favorite as the meat is more on the sweeter side. They also have other soup options and stir fried or grilled meat served with rice and a couple of side dishes, but the udon keeps calling my name when I get there. This place is definitely a gem at Hmart Market Eatery! read more

Hands down the best spicy pork bulgogi in town, but beef rib soup(갈비탕) is really hit or miss. The broth is always decent but the beef is tough and a bit blend sometimes. Also, they don't give you the dipping sauce here for the beef rib soup unless you ask for it, which is very weird. In Korea, the soy sauce+wasabi based dipping sauce always comes with Beef rib soup cause it can really elevate the flavor of the beef. read more

Shopping at H Mart, one of my favorite grocery stores. Dropped in at Narrow Street. I ordered the seafood Udon to take out. I asked for them to make it not spicy and they did a perfect job with that! Flavorful soup, full of seafood and noodles. Made two meals out of it. Delicious! And, the woman that took my order and gave me my food was very friendly ... Yum! read more

Right in the heart of H Mart sits this little Korean gem, and it truly feels like a classic mom-and-pop spot. Ryan wasn't kidding -- this place nails all the home-style comforts you'd expect. I absolutely love all their soups. If you're craving something warm on a cold day, get the beef rib soup. It's rich, comforting, and easily big enough to share. Simple, authentic, and consistently delicious -- Narrow Street 512 is one of the best reasons to wander into H Mart hungry. Plus the super fast service is always a big plus and they are always helpful to recommend something tasty read more

The price increase significantly recently. The quality is still there, but $27/meal is quite steep for a food court. read more

If you go by H Mart then be sure to check out Narrow Street 512 in the food court. It is one of the several vendors located here and specializes in Korean soups. I had ordered the spicy Beef Rib Soup (Galbi Tang). It same with rice and Kimchee. The soup had quite a bit of meat that was meaty, soft, and easy to pull off the bone. When you order they give you a notification fob so they can buzz you when the food is ready. So pretty mysch self service to include bringing back your dishes when you are through. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food court has many tables. Chairs and stools through out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Narrow Street 512 offers good food in a fast food environment. read more

Narrow Street 512 - Galbi Tang (Spicy) - Spicy Beef Rib Soup - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Spent $35 on the A2, marinated short ribs. Honestly I didn't notice how much it was going to be but decided f it, it's gotta be good if they're charging this much at a food court. After getting the food, all I gotta say is yikes dawg. The portion was so small, it's basically 4 pieces of galbi cut up into little squares, except galbi has more flavor. It' should be illegal to charge this much and serve up a tiny hot plate of cut up galbi with 0 flavor. There were 2 shriveled up pieces of very very thin onions at the bottom, which was the only thing that had some sort of taste. Extremely disappointing. Aside from the absurd price point, there's no flavor, why are yall even open? read more

The menu has photos and descriptions in English and Korean. You order with an alpha number code. The food was so fresh and flavorful. We specifically came here after being sick for a week to use bone broth soup and spices to burn off any lingering sickness. Their food fed my soul. 10/10 coming back and often. read more

It was a 2-star experience (Could've Been Better) for me here because I spent 27 bucks for a premium dish expecting a premium experience with some wow-factor and I got none of that. Their high-runner popular Spicy Pork and Octopus dish here, which is raved by many, fell far short of expectations. The flavor and seasoning was lacking and not up to par. Bland. I was excited to try this place. Never been to this H-Mart, stumbled upon them, and then did a search based on highest ratings in the area and this place popped up. A lot of people raved about their spicy pork dish - which is something I am very familiar with, and to be honest, no one in Austin (or NYC for that matter) has come close to the awesome spicy pork that I grew up eating back home in Michigan. But gonna give them a shot. I saw their Spicy Pork + Octopus dish - it was $26+ which is hefty, but I love that combination and the pics looked so good so I decided to give it a go. Food came out in a timely manner. Ok - so this is one of those experiences - and I don't know why - but lately I am finding these occurrences happening a lot with Korean restaurants. No joke. What I am referring to is the dishes look so appetizing and tasty on pictures, and even when they are served to you in person, but when you actually eat them and they fall way short of expectations and the flavor is not up to par. Well unfortunately this is what happened here. I got a lot of fatty pork bits, did not get as much octopus as I should have for $27, but those robust Korean flavors with the slight peppery-seasoned heat was just non-existent here. It basically tasted a bit on the bland side believe it or not. The flavors did not explode in my mouth, they were not robust, there was a severe lack of spice and seasoning. I was a little taken back and then after a few bites - very disappointed. So after a few bites I decided not to finish the dish and just packaged it to go, being very disappointed. I have had similar experiences in Killeen - where there are several Korean places to choose from. I'd say I only found 2 places up there that were pretty good - not great - but pretty good. I don't get some of these reviews raving about their spicy pork. Not sure if it was an off day or different cook but it's a small kitchen and usually the same person cooking. So I don't know what else to say, but after spending that much money for one dish and feeling underwhelmed and disappointed, it certainly doesn't motivate me to come back here and try them again. My search for excellent well seasoned Spicy Pork dish continues..... read more

this is by far my favorite place in the hmart food court. i highly recommend the spicy fried pork udon. its the perfect level of spicy and the pork is delicious. the portion size is perfect but slightly on the pricey end for how much meat you get. will always come here and get the same dish tho! service is friendly and fast.

Best Korean soup (gomtang)! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The shop is located inside the H Mart food court towards the back corner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You walk up to the window, place your order and receive your pager. They do not sell any drinks, so you can walk to the nearby stall to order drinks while you wait for your food. I have not tried the other dishes since this is my favorite dish I order each time I visit. Soup comes very hot with a bowl of rice and some sides. So good especially on a rainy day or after a hangover. read more

Narrow Street 512 - Beef Rib Soup - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Entering H-Mart from the dedicated food court entrance, you'll typically notice a seasonal display, with Tous les Jours to your right, and a sushi stall to your left. Venturing further in, tucked away by the bathrooms and hair salon is a little place called Narrow Street 512. This place serves up soups, cold noodles, and meat on blue plastic trays, and it even has its own dedicated food tray return rack. Peruse the menu for a while, and you'll notice they offer "combos"--request to pair a soup or cold noodle dish with a platter of meat, and soon you'll be given a pager for food retrieval after payment once your order is taken, counterserve style. One quaint day, I had a hankering for some chill; I sought out a cold noodle dish and spicy pork combo. I received just that--a bowl of cold noodles and a plate of spicy pork sitting atop a blue tray; the tray also featured a pair of chopsticks and a napkin, but no spoon. More importantly, the platter contained no banchan, not even any kimchi in a plastic sauce cup. Was this place really a Korean restaurant in an H-Mart food court? The refreshing cold noodles satisfied the chill. Except for the lack of a spoon. On the other hand, the spicy pork was nothing particularly interesting. It was mostly salty and lacked heat and other flavor. I would skip their spicy pork next time, and save stomach space for something more worthwhile. read more

Part Three of my H-Mart weekend journey with an updated review... My partner and I also ordered from this eatery too! Osam Bulgogi is an abbreviated name for Ojingeo Samgyeopsal Bulgogi. This dish originates from Gangneung, which is an area on the east coast of Korea and is a municipal city of Gangwon-do province. Bulgogi is typically prepared from beef, although pork or chicken are more common in some parts of Korea. A variety of different cuts are used, depending on the region and price. When beef is used, sirloin and ribeye are two very common choices. Similar to beef, pork bulgogi will often utilize pork belly due to its tenderness. Spicy squid and pork stir-fry or Osam bulgogi is a popular Korean dish. This has a wonderful combination of the surf and turf flavors - spicy and garlicky gochujang sauce with a hint of sweetness that brings everything oh so well together. The best part about this dish is the bulgogi sauce. The dish was accompanied by rice and a small ramekin of kimchi. Both the beef and squid were abundant in this dish. The heat from the sauce, jalapenos, and green onion added a 'crunchy' layer of spice. The kimchi was less than pleasing as it lacked heat, but that was overlooked as this was offered as a standard side. read more

Go to spot inside H-Mart! Food: Spicy Seafood Udon Stir Fried: One word. DELICIOUS. There's shrimp, muscles, and squid stir fried with cabbage and carrots. The veggies are still crunch yet flavorful. Spicy Seafood Udon Soup: A HUGE bowl. Flavorful broth with plenty of seafood. I have tried their beef stir-fried udon as well. It was flavorful but not my favorite simply because I like the spicy one more. Their soup and grilled meat dishes come in a very small portion so I don't justify the price for the size Service: Straightforward. They give you a buzzer and you can come get your tray when it is ready. Vibe: Hmart vibe. Kpop music. Superb! read more

This is becoming my go-to spot for takeout when I go to HMart for groceries. The quality of the beef rib soup is great and comforting. I didn't give five stars because the price is a bit high to be honest, and I ordered a stir-fried udon here before that I wasn't impressed by. read more

I was really excited to try this dish because I was starving and I have so many good memories of it. I felt disappointed by it. While it was flavorful, it just didn't hit the spot.
