Oseyo is officially in my East Austin rotation. Everything we ordered hit--the japchae was perfectly balanced, the Korean fried cauliflower was crispy and flavorful, and the tteokbokki had the ideal chewy texture with a rich, spicy sauce. Don't skip the chili oil--it makes a difference. Great vibe, solid service, and the kind of place that's just easy to enjoy. I'm already planning my next visit! The atmosphere felt casual but still elevated enough for a cute dinner date. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm craving Korean food on the east side. read more

Beautiful space and presentation with friendly service. Sadly, the food wasn't anything special. Markedly, the main dish was not served with banchan. This is a great place to go if you're new to Korean food and want something that looks great. But if you know Korean food and this is not your first time, you will be disappointed. The Dolsot bibimbap did not come with banchan. It was a different remix of veggies and lacked the usual myriad veggie options that are standard to the dish. The fried chicken lacked the extra crunchiness that is the hallmark of Korean chicken. We didn't care for the Ddukbokki at all. read more

Came in on a weeknight and was seated right away. A few parking spots in front and some side parking as well. The inside is really pretty and clean. I had never eaten at a Korean restaurant and our server was helpful in helping us decide what to order. For an appetizer we tried the jjin mandu and these were the best things we ate all night. Definitely a must order! We wanted to try a few different things so we ordered the dolsot bibimbap with tofu, kimchi jjigae, and the bulgogi. The bulgogi was definitely my favorite of the three and had the most flavor. I loved eating it in lettuce wraps with all the toppings they provide. The kimchi jjigae was also good with a nice almost sour broth but we were gravitating more towards the other two dishes. The dolsot bibimbap was my second favorite. It was a great rice bowl with lots of veggies, just wish it had a little more flavor. They provide a sauce to add to it which helped but it was still lacking in my opinion. Since it comes out in a hot bowl, the rice at the bottom starts to get crispy after a little bit and that was yummy too! For dessert, the date cake was amazing! I wish they served it warm but it was still so good. Overall, the entrees were lacking in flavor to me but loved the appetizers and desserts. They also have a great happy hour so would love to come back and try that! read more

I met a friend for dinner after a YELP event at Oseyo restaurant, which offered a refreshing and elevated dining experience. The menu provided a thoughtful balance of bold flavors and approachable options, making it easy for us to find something we enjoyed. To be honest, when I looked at the menu it looked like it was printed in a foreign language. None of the highlighted menu items looked familiar, however, reading the components of the menu items made it easier to make selections. The dishes arrived well-paced, which helped maintain the flow of our conversation. OMG...Oseyo is a visual masterpiece with a Zen-like presence...rock garden, palm tree, dessert plants and aesthetically pleasing outside overhang. Inside the restaurant, the Zen state continued with warm colors and décor. The food stood out for its freshness and attention to detail. Flavors were well layered and distinct, giving the meal a memorable quality. Portion sizes were generous for a dinner. We ordered a fried chicken and chicken skewers as appetizers. The fried chicken an absolutely intoxicating plum sauce. You really felt like licking your fingers. For entrees, we ordered sweet potato noodles with steak and a hot pot with chicken. The hot pot was truly the stand out. The atmosphere was modern and comfortable, lending itself well to feeling relaxed. Overall, Oseyo delivered a high-quality dining experience that felt intentional and well executed food and pleasant dining environment. read more

Great spot for brunch - only regret is not trying this place out sooner. Something for everyone. - outdoor seating is lovely, not fully shaded though - seats by the windows for couples is the move - service was super kind and helpful with suggestions - they have mocktails too, try their limeade! - food was 10/10 everything we ordered! Generous portions The fried chicken was super delicious, the ramen was perfect and the fried rice in a hot bowl was really good, some folks may find the "crisped" part of the rice chewy. I loved it though. read more

I mean I'm just speechless! Oseyo is so consistently delicious. We had a table of 8 and seriously tried everything. It was ALL so good!! Can't even pick a favorite because it was all incredible. The waitress was super helpful with recommendations & coursing out dishes. It was all day happy hour on Thursday and was a great vibe. Can't recommend this place enough - everyone needs to experience this place at least once! read more

THE BIG: Located in East Austin, this Korean restaurant has the vibes to set the mood. Indoor seating primarily with an outdoor waiting area. Street parking available. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here for lunch with some co workers when we were co-working across the street at the Malin. The lunch rush was pretty light and we were seated pretty quickly. Food-wise we shared the spicy wontons, the pork belly, and we each go the bibimbap dolsot. Dolsot just means crackling pot which makes the rice at the bottle super crunchy and flavorful. Everything was just alright in my opinion and the meats were very dry. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Just ok korean food and for the damage done of the food served, it was around $65. Relatively pricey for the quality of food you get. read more

We came here on a Thursday night for a girl's happy hour for drinks and bites. We all got the $10 mango margarita and a few bites - mini mandu, crunchy korean fried chicken bites, rice cakes - all a few dollars off for happy hour, and very tasty. The mandu had a wonderful kick - nice if you like spicy! The menu is on the expensive site (think around $15-20 for a small plate, and $30 for an entree) but the interior is pretty fancy probably justifies the inflated prices. The staff are polite and attentive. read more

Went yesterday evening to try the Korean Fried Chicken and it was delicious! We also had the Japchae and all of the sides that came with the KFC Bucket. Everything was tasty and my favorite side was the coleslaw (as someone who normally doesn't like coleslaw). The ambiance and architecture of the space was so nice especially the entrance, I really liked all of the natural light and the peaceful ambience. It felt like there needed to be a nice big fountain outside to give it an even more peaceful vibe with the sound of running water. It wasn't too busy which we liked, especially after arriving a few minutes early to our reservation and our server Jessie was very friendly and attentive which we appreciated. I would love to go back! read more

Oseyo - KFC Bucket, Japchae - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is a cute place with a small parking lot and free street parking. It is nicely decorated and the aesthetic is clean and crisp. The service was friendly and spot on. The food was good. We came for brunch and I specifically came for the mackerel brunch special but unfortunately they were out that day (and we came shortly after opening so seems like they just didn't have it versus it selling out). While that was disappointing, the other dishes were nice. I wouldn't say this was the best Korean food I've had but it was tasty and the aesthetic was nice so I had a nice time. Unfortunately, the restaurant is across town from me and I don't know if I would make the trek again unless they happen to have the grilled mackerel again. If you're nearby, it's worth a visit. If you're not, I'm not sure if it is worth the trek. I did like their cold brew coffee with orange bitters. That was a creative and nice touch. read more

Rating: 4/5 [dine in] Oseyo is a nice-looking restaurant, but the prices are on the higher end. We came for dinner on a Thursday night during happy hour. While the space itself was enjoyable, the service felt a bit slow. It took a while for our drinks to come out, and we had to check in on them. On the plus side, the food came out at a good pace. We had previously tried Oseyo via takeout and did not enjoy it, but dining in was a night-and-day difference. The food was noticeably better this time. Mango Margarita ($10 HH | $16): Wow, this was actually really good. I really enjoyed this drink and found it well balanced and refreshing. I was a bit skeptical since it was the only cocktail on the happy hour menu, but it did not disappoint. That said, we were initially charged the regular price instead of the happy hour price. We tried calling the restaurant around 9:25 PM to address this, but the call went straight to voicemail with a message stating the restaurant was closed, even though the website lists a 10:00 PM closing time. I emailed them that night, and they refunded the difference the next day, which I appreciated and felt was handled quickly. Pal O' Mine ($17): This mezcal-based drink was not bad overall, but the salt rim was way too heavy and overly salty. Tong Ddak ($15): Sweet and tangy Korean fried chicken that was very saucy while still staying crispy. I thought it was better the first time I had it, but my husband liked it more this visit. This time, the sauce was so tasty that we ended up dipping everything in it. The house pickles on the side were also really good. Bossam ($16): Thick slices of pork belly that were soft from the fat yet crispy from being fried. This is best eaten right away, as it starts to get hard if it sits too long. It was great as a wrap with ssamjang and lettuce. Kalbi ($42): This entrée came with rice, leafy greens for wrapping, ssamjang, and banchan. The banchan portions (cucumber, radish, and kimchi) were very small, though they tasted good, and we had to ask for extra lettuce wraps. There was also some meat left on the bone that we had to cut off ourselves. The meat was slightly overcooked, and the meat on the bone was burnt and chewy. It was not terrible, but I have had better elsewhere and do not think it is worth the price. read more

Oseyo is such a vibe. The aesthetics are so cute--bright, modern, and super Instagram-worthy the moment you walk in. We were seated right away, and our waitress was incredibly sweet, helpful, and made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming. We were bummed we missed out on the chicken wing basket (next time for sure), but we did order the appetizer chicken and the pumpkin swirl bread--and both were amazing. So flavorful and comforting. For my main, I tried the bibimbap and it did not disappoint--fresh, well-balanced, and really satisfying. Cute space, great service, and solid food all around. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to (and recommending). read more

We were excited to find a more upscale Korean restaurant in Austin. The interior is lovely with low lighting and modern, creative decor. We ordered the Godeungeo Gui, a butterflied wild-caught whole mackerel, as well as the Dolsot Bibimbap with bulgogi. The mackerel was not very flavorful, and the accompaniments to wrap in the lettuce wraps were very sparse. The bibimbap was good, but not outstanding. Prices are what you would expect from an upscale restaurant, but it seemed overpriced for the quality of the food. Definitely still a nice date night spot for ambiance and Thursday nights happy hour all night. read more

Overall this was just an okay place 3.7 to be more accurate. The seating was pretty nice. We came by for the chuseok special menu since it sounded interesting. The whole restaurant had nice seating plus outdoor space. it Was not that busy for a Saturday dinner shift. We made reservations just incase. There is not a lot of parking and once you get it it's hard to get out since it's on a Main Street. One of the items we got was the pork and shrimp dumplings. Presentation was nice but that was it. I expected the dumplings to be minced and stuffed but invest it was a butterflied shrimp with ground pork. Because it was made that way the shrimp was overcooked and chewy. Kind of understandable because you can't fully boil the pork without overcooking the shrimp. The dumpling itself tasted unseasoned and the only thing making it bearable was the sauce that came with it. Big thumbs down on this dumpling. The bed rib soup was more pleasant to eat. It came with veggies and a tomato base like broth plus rice. The special menu may not have came with the side dishes and we had to ask for it. Which all three side dishes came out pretty good. The dark tea tiramisu was also pretty good. Not too sweet. There was not anything else in the menu that really stuck out to me making me less inclined to return since there are a lot of other Korean places that do better for less. read more

Wanted to try Oseyo for a long time, as hubby and kiddo love KFC, but was bit hesitant, as they kinda have sort of mixed reviews, finally today went without reservation, got seated almost immediately. ambience is nice, simple yet elegant with a Korean touch. And our server Rose was awesome, she checks off all the check mark as a fabulous server, she was welcoming, friendly, helpful, and attentive. We ordered KFC bucket spicy, mango margarita, Sapporo, sesame ice cream, barley honey ice cream, milk-tea-tiramisu and swirly pop. Mango Margarita: it didn't look nor tasted any mango in it, for a sec I thought they made me different margarita, but it was mango(our server confirmed it)it was good like a regular margarita, but there was absolutely no mango flavor in it. KFC: chicken was crispy but skin was burnt and it dint taste like anything a brined chicken tastes like, it was bland inside, it was okay. Sides were okay(Korean potato salad and coleslaw), waffle fries were good but toooo greasy. Sapporo: hubby liked it. Swirly pop: kiddo got it, it had gochugaru, he dint notice it, and he dint like it. Sesame ice cream: I liked it, but hubby loved it. Barley and honey ice cream: both me and kiddo loved it. Milk-tea-tiramisu: I tasted milk tea but dint taste any Rum in it, if you like milk tea you will like this. Overall: food and margaritas: 3star, Dessert: swirly pop: you like it, if you like that spicy kick in your popsicle. Other desserts: 4start Serving: 5star Ambiance: 4.5star. So I say give it a try!! read more

Absolutely love Oseyo! I can't believe it's taken me so long to visit. Parking is limited depending on when you go, we were here for brunch and it was really easy to park. We tried the friend rice, noodles, pot stickers, and sweet/savory rice cakes! I would go back and get everything again, it was all so flavorful and delicious. It was pretty quiet at brunch when we went but I've heard it can get busy in the evenings. read more

It's kinda of nearing [3.5] but still not there to round up...? This restaurant was actually on my want to go list for a while, and I thought Chuseok dinner would be a good occasion to give it a try. The parking was annoying. Getting in and out is a hustle since it is on a very busy street. The spots are all on the front of the building and the amount is limited. The restaurant was nicely decorated and "the vibe" was spot on. I mean, you cannot survive this close to downtown without this aspect nailed down. The service was pretty good, our server was really nice and answered all questions. For the Chuseok socials, they had different menu from the one I saw somebody sharing on Instagram. I was hoping to have the dinner for two option. But turned out they had different menu for a pop up somewhere else during the week. But their social media pages were not clear enough at letting customers know that that the menus would be different. If I cut to the chase, I would say that the food didn't feel authentic at all. It says that the restaurant is Korean-American. And don't get me wrong.... I'm not a Korean (and barely even an American), but I've had enough of Korean food exposure since childhood to know good Korean food. Our first order was Jjin Mandu, we were debating between the Chuseok option and regular menu, but went with Chuseok.... Because we were here for Chuseok (and my boyfriend wanted to try that one lol). It was rather flavorless, I expected a bit more ginger flavor at least. Most of the flavor came from the dipping sauce. The shrimp was very overcooked because they decided to put a whole shrimp instead of chopping it and mixing with pork. Then we had Galbi Jjim. The short rib was nice and tender. There was a good amount of vegetables. The flavor profile was a bit more European....? It almost felt like something I would order at an Irish spot. I thought it was tomato based broth for a moment. Not sure if it actually is or if it was meant to be a kimchi-based broth. The banchan was fine. I really liked the seaweed one. Kimchi tasted like these vegan kimchi that has no seafood component to it, not a fan. I also have a feeling it wouldn't come with the entree, but we asked for it. Soju was good... soju is soju. Jinro never disappoints For a dessert, we got their Tea Tiramisu. This one was legitimately good. Not too sweet at all and using tea created a unique flavor profile. Overall, I don't think this is a place I will be coming back to. And I'm quite bummed about it, because, again, this place was on my radar for a while. Beyond trendy interior and a good tiramisu, there was not much else that would justify annoying parking situation. There are many other options in the city that are less trendy, but much more authentic and worth driving to. read more

Such a treat and easily one of the coziest Korean spots I've been to in Austin. I lucked out and got seated in the back room with just one other diner, and it felt unbelievably comfortable and private. The staff were so sweet and attentive, making the whole meal feel relaxed and welcoming. Food-wise, the portions are generous and beautifully done. The big rib plate was the star for me. I tried the rice cakes too, though I think I was just saving more room for the meat. Refreshing drinks rounded everything out nicely with fresh, balanced flavors. I also peeped a great patio to sit outside, but I'd happily take that cozy back room again. read more

The bibimbap with bulgogi was definitely the highlight of the meal with great flavors, well-seasoned meat. Appetizers were just okay overall. Felt like ddukbokki was a bit chewy and didn't really stand out, and the jjin mandu was decent. Loved their sesame ice cream. Mango sorbet with gochujang was interesting and decent as well, more like Mangonada read more

So i finally got to check out it out for lunch today... For the first time I went very traditional and got Japchae (sweet potato clear noodles stirfried with seasonal veggies in soy, garlic , and sesame oil. Then its served with banchan (kimchi, garlic sesame spinach, marinated bean sprouts) and I got the added bulgogi beef. Its all so delicious. A little expensive for lunch (but it's a lot of food and I got a few meals here w/ leftovers). The manager (or owner, i'm not sure) is super nice and we chatted while I waited for my food. I later saw her sit at a dining table with a customer and chat with them. read more

Man! One thing I love is a new quality Asian restaurant. I have watched so many tiktoks on this Korean fried chicken, that I HAD to have it! I will tell you though, it did not disappoint. The glaze was such an amazing flavor. A perfect combination of sweet and spicy. It had the perfect crunch. I'm convinced Koreans fry the best chicken. Also the pork dumplings are a must! As far as the ambience, I love a small and intimate setting. It makes it feel more authentic and like a hidden gem. It was very cute with a lot of character. There's also a parking lot if that helps. read more

Oseyo - Bibimbap - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

We've been coming to Oseyo for a few years now, and it's been great watching it evolve. They're currently remodeling part of the space into a bar and lounge, and the outdoor area has been completely redone -- it looks fantastic. Some of the dishes have changed over time, but the quality and creativity are still top-notch. One thing that hasn't changed? Their amazing happy hour deals. I almost always end up ordering one of everything on the happy hour menu (no shame!). The portions are generous, the flavors are consistent, and the atmosphere is perfect for unwinding after work. The draft beer and house wine prices are also unbeatable -- easily some of the best in Austin for the quality you get. Oseyo continues to be one of our go-to spots for great food, friendly service, and a laid-back vibe that still feels refined. read more

I been waiting 6 months to try Oseyo. ( Fried Chicken ) We had reservations for outside but when we asked the hostess to sit inside she gave nothing but attitude. She was extremely rude again when we asked to sit in the shade. We ordered the Bucket of fried chicken and over priced drinks. The chicken was good but every piece was raw on the inside. The waitress brought one new piece instead of a new bucket of properly cooked chicken. Oh ya and on the way out the same hostess hissed at me .... Think twice before going here. Not kidding read more

Oseyo - Korean fried chicken under cooked - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ended up here after original dinner plan was outdoors and was suffering too much from allergies. Sat at the bar and we were recommended some really good drinks. The bartender was also the bar menu deviser. I would say the drink pairings were the best part. I grew up eating a lot of Korean food so I wouldn't say the food was anything extraordinary but it was fine and not ridiculously priced. We apparently also caught the tail end of the happy hour and the bartender actually let us know that himself so we could put in a few apps, which I appreciated. The lettuce wraps for the bulgogi were nicely prepared though and the lotus root in the banchan flight were tasty! I generally prefer the tteokbokki sauce that has a little more sugar in it, more hot and sweet or even the rose style one with cream. This one was just savory. I felt like some dishes were missing a little salt here a little sugar there etc, or seemed a bit one dimensional, at least for my tastes. The ambiance was nice, upscale, date night my and it did work out well on a whim for us but I am not super inclined to return. Maybe just for a drink! read more

I can't imagine how Oseyo has even one bad review. I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. We decided to give it a go on a Thursday evening. Did I mention it's all night Happy Hour on Thursdays with both food and alcohol discounted? They have a lovely patio with ample private parking and excellent and friendly service. The food was so delicious that we ended up asking for a menu to order more. We had things both on and off the HH menu and it came out to about $55/person and on top of that every single item we had was so super tasty. I can't wait to return! Word to the wise if it's your first time, go on a Thursday, order all the things and you'll most certainly be returning in the near future. read more

Oseyo - Korean Near Me - Austin, Texas

I went to Oseyo for happy hour with some friends. And it was okay. I was hoping for upscale food with Korean flavors (which I would have understood the prices), but it was "standard" Korean food with higher price tag. I We ordered the Tteokboki (spicy rice cakes), "tong dak", fried mandu, steamed mandu, and the banchan flight. A big challenge I had was around portions. In my experience growing up with Korean food there is a big presence on communal meal and sharing the portions offered were for solo dining. Tteokboki is like a staple of Korea, it hits all the right flavors if done well. The one at Oseyo was bland and the spice was muted. Also to charge $15 for that portion size. I was confused when the Tong Dak came out. Not pictured. So tong Dak that I grew up with is a whole chicken fried (no batter like fried chicken). What I got was 4 pieces -5 pieces of chicken with a thick crunch batter and a standard korean spicy sauce (which is yangnyum chicken). The batter to chicken ratio was off but it was fine. The challenge I had was around the naming convention because this was not tong Dak. The mandoo was pretty solid the only major critique in the steamed version they had a sea of soy sauce on the bottom and personally for me I like to dip and not coat in soy sauce. The final thing the flight of banchan was not good. Things were over pickled and just sour to the point. Also banchan is a freebie at any Korean restaurant ive visited so this was not the vibe to charge $14. Prices listed are the menu price not the happy hour price. The staff were super helpful and really kind. Parking is quite limited. read more

Sundays at Oseyo deserve all the stars!!!!! Got there exactly at 5pm because they serve Korean Fried Chicken only until it is sold out! No guarantees! Go early! Get the bucket! Do not skip the Korean Fried Cauliflower! Bring at least two hungry people with you! Maybe three! We took 75 minutes to eat our fill! This KFC is bone in, and it's EVEN BETTER than the delicious weekday appetizer! I'm a huge snob about fries, but I'm here to tell you: Reach down under the first layer of chicken and fries to get a waffle fry that is soaked in that sauce! Treat yourself! Usually, we are only Team Brie, but you know what? Jacob is pretty delightful as well! xo read more

Came here with a group of friends and we ordered quite a few of the things on the menu to get a representative size. The good: The ambiance - this is a nice spot, like fine dining but not dressy. I think this would be a great spot here for a date if you liked the food or wanted some interesting cocktails. The service - the service was overall pretty responsive and friendly. We also had quite a few questions about menu items and they answered them pretty well. Galbi - the galbi already mostly carved into slices with some meat remaining on one big bone. This dish tasted quite good, but I will also say it tasted like a solid steak. I didn't get much of the galbi marinated flavor. I think someone looking for a korean dish would be sadly disappointed, but if you like and crave yourself a steak, this would be great. The okay: Most of the appetizers - Dumplings - Rice cakes - Fried Chicken - Fried Cauliflower - Mung Bean Pancake - They were all just pretty good, in our group no one loved any of them in particular but had slight preferences of one over the other. I expected more out of the fried chicken, but the glaze was just so strong and overpowered the flavors. Marinated Chicken and Bugolgi - neither of these dishes tasted very korean. The chicken tasted like grilled chicken, not a ton of marinated flavor. The bulgolgi sauce seemed to be drizzled instead of incorporated in the dish, I've had better at cheaper korean restaurants. The not so good: Banchan - there wasn't enough of it, and the banchan flight was a bit underwhelming. Whole mackerel - A grilled fish, but without any particularly special or good flavors. Lots of little bones on one end (the kind that you could get away with trying to swallow, but could also accidentally scratch your throat on). Summary: if you want some really good quality Korean food, then I would say Oseyo is not for you. Even if these were special takes on Korean dishes, there weren't enough unique flavor notes to set most of the dishes apart. read more

This is such a cute modern Korean restaurant. I absolutely love their spicy tofu pork belly soup with white rice! It hits in these cold months in Austin. The flavor was so rich and it warmed my soul!

I would say this is more modern Korean than authentic Korean but still good. read more

Attended a private event there and although they "accommodated" people like me with celiac disease there were several dishes I could not eat, including the dessert (come on guys! You can do better than offer me sorbet when everyone else is devouring what looks like amazing cheesecake)... but you know what? What I was able to eat was not good at all so I likely did not miss out. Lacking flavor and the ribs were tough. Maybe it's cool. Maybe it's hipster east side yadda yadda but it's definitely not good. read more

(3.5) Our experience at Oseyo on Lunar New Year was a bit of a letdown. We went expecting some sort of celebration, but there was nothing by the time we left--they seemed to still be setting up. It was a bummer since we could have gone to another Asian spot that actually had a Lunar New Year special (we later found out our top alternatives did). They also had a collab that night with another restaurant, which we were excited about, but honestly, it didn't leave much of an impression. That said, the space is cute, and I'd love to sit outside when the weather is nicer. The shishito peppers were tasty, but the pearl drink cocktail was awkward to drink. The rest of the food was good but not particularly memorable--there wasn't one standout dish that made me think, I need to come back for this. They did have a cute touch with the "haloumi bucks" for a future visit, but we're in no rush to return. Maybe next time will be better! Good service from the wait staff. read more

Can't wait to stop by again!! My girlfriend and I came for lunch on Friday so parking was easy and being seated was quick. Not sure if this is an every day thing but it worked out well for us! As soon as you walk in you'll notice the upscale decor and aesthetic. Very welcoming and dim lighting to make for an intimate dining experience. Waiter was quiet but friendly and attentive. Now for the good part, the food. We started with an order for the Jjin Mandu and man those were good. Very flavorful and not too hot so you can eat right away. My girlfriend got the kimchi jjigae and I ordered the kimchi fried rice. Both dishes were great! The kimchi friend was was a solid 3.5/5, not the best I've had around ATX but it got the job done. The Kimchi jjigae was extremely delicious, only thing I would change in the dish is the size the kimchi is cut to. The pieces were bigger than I'd have liked them to be but the dish was extremely flavorful. I would order the kimchi jjigae myself if I came back since it was the better dish of the two. Overall, good spot and I'd give it a solid 4/5. I would come back if it's convenient with my plans around the day. read more

Tasty Korean spot on the East Side. Parking - a few spots right out front, a larger parking lot to the right. We were able to park on a Sunday night no problem (also was able to walk in without a reservation at this time with no wait) Ambiance - Really cute style and a great vibe inside, nice patio area too. We sat the bar. Food - such a range of delicious dishes, was hard deciding! I enjoyed K-drop cocktail and we got a handful of apps including the Gun Mandu (veggie dumplings, were perfectly crisp), Dwaeji Kalb (ribs) and Tong Dak (fried chicken). For my main I got the Japchae with Tofu. I really enjoyed this dish but did end up wishing I got something different just to try something I'm not familiar with (I hear really good things about the Jjajangmyeon and would like to try next). My boyfriend got the Kimchi Bokkeumbap and enjoyed it - we both had plenty of food to take home. Service - Servers were attentive and super friendly - we sat at the bar and enjoyed talking to both our bar waiter and food waiter throughout the evening.

Korean-American food that you won't forget. Went with a group of ladies and it was the perfect place to share family style. Cocktails and sake are spot on and the food is even better. So many dishes to recommend- Dumplings: get both the Jjin Mandu (steamed meat dumplings) and the Gun Mandu (mushroom and vegetable dumpling- these were awesome) Dwaeji Kalbi: sweet and sour sticky ribs (fricken fantastic) Dolsot Bibimbap: hot stone pot bibimbap with bulgogi (perfect, all the flavors, get it) Wood Grill Bulgogi: make it a lettuce wrap with some toppings Japchae: sweet potato glass noodles with chicken (you won't regret it) Black Sesame ice cream: if you haven't had it, get it. Awesome meal. Can't wait to come back. read more
