I have been wanting to try this Ghama Zone ever since they opened. We came on a Friday at 6pm and…read morewere very lucky to be able to get a table. I don't believe they do reservations but shortly after we were sat there was a waiting line. The restaurant was at full capacity with people at the sushi bar and regular tables. When entering you were promptly greeted and the staff was friendly. We ordered: * Chirashi - 5/5 super fresh sashimi and the presentation was beautiful. The bowl came with some pickled onion and cucumber of some sort. Served with a salad and seaweed paper * spicy pork - 5/5 it's not blow your head off spicy on the first bite but the more you eat the spicier it gets. I was making me break a sweat! This paired really well with the banchan. It's served with a bowl of rice. * complimentary banchan- 4/5 kimchi, seasoned onion, fish cakes, and an elbow salad . The kimchi and seasoned onion were my favorites. The fish cake was ok but it was a bit fishy. The elbow salad was bland. These banchan came in small little bowls and we had to ask our waiter to refill the banchan since there was 4 of us. * unagi nigiri- 5/5 the unagi was so good! One of the best unagi I had in a while! It was the perfect amount of sauce and I wish I would have ordered another one. * hotate nigiri- 5/5 like wow! I was pleasantly surprise the freshness of the scallop and it just melted in your mouth. It was smoky and idk what sauce they brushed the scallop with but it made the perfect bite. I also wished I ordered a second one of these. * salmon nigiri- 4/5- it was a good salmon nigiri. Wasn't the best I've ever had but it was good Note: I originally wanted to get their big spread bento box with all different types of Korean food that they had when they first open. But I was sad and disappointed to hear they had discontinue that. The only bento box presentation they do is the sushi. I really kicked myself for not coming sooner when they had that so I can try a little bit of everything they had on the menu with the large bento box spread. Do I recommend this place? Absolutely the vibe is great and the service is great. This place is a great date night gem and a casual treat your self to a great meal! I definitely recommend trying this Ghama Zone! They have a massive menu and you can eat Korean food and sushi :) best of both worlds! The sushi is high quality too! We can wait to come back to try their other dishes!

Came here for my sister's birthday and I'm so glad we did! I'll admit I'm not super familiar with…read moreKorean food beyond wings, but this place completely won me over. We ordered the bulgogi, the spicy pork, and jjimdak for my daughter, and every single dish was delicious. The bulgogi though... wow wow delicious. I cleaned my entire plate! We also had garlic edamame to start which was tasty. The green tea was a nice touch too, and at the end they surprised my sister with a free bowl of vanilla ice cream with cornflakes, which was such a sweet gesture and genuinely tasty. I never realized cornflakes make the ice cream even yummier! I'm seriously impressed and can't wait to come back. I just wish they delivered all the way out to Jonestown, because I'd be ordering from here constantly. Wish I'd gotten photos, but chasing around a 16 month old kept my hands full!

The ssambap is such a fun experience to try all the different meats. The grandma came by often to check up on us. They were willing to refill our lettuce and rice, and I also asked for gochuchang sauce. The banchan dishes are quite small, but you can ask for refills. Plenty of parking in the strip mall, and there are lots of tables here!

We arrived for lunch on Sunday around noon and We were greeted right away! Everyone on staff was super attentive and very friendly. There were only a couple of people there. We ordered the kimchi jeon pancakes to start. It was delicious. Banchan came out first. The only thing missing was either macaroni or potato salad. I was hoping they had japchae on the menu but they did not. I had the bibimbap off of the lunch menu. It had great flavor and it was a large serving. My man had the GalbiTang And it was also delicious! Overall I recommend giving this new location a visit and trying many things off of the menu. We will be back to try more.

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...

Service was excellent very fun crew always smiling and attentive…read more Ambiance was ok its not the best, its not good either but its not bad at all. Their meat could have been great ONLY if the beef belly was not hella frozen. Thats the only bad thing I don't like the rest was really good and oh not that many meat options but it was good enough to full my stomach. I would recommend trying the short rib the one on the picture and LA galbi. I forgot her name but she was short korean who served our food. She was always smiling, energetic and very attentive. Thanks to her great service. Would I recommend this place? I wanna say yes its worth trying id personally would like to go back.

They are always on point here and the food comes out fast, so there is literally nothing to complain about. It is also very cost effective, so you really get a great bang for your buck here. I love the environment of this place. It is never extremely busy. There is usually a table or two taken, but that is about it. There is another place I like going to down the road, but if you do not call ahead and make a reservation there is a chance you will not get in. We always end up coming over here instead, and that is not a problem for me because this place is great. If you have not been here before, definitely stop in.

Came here after it was recommended multiple times. Small space but quick and friendly service…read more Lots of options on the menu. Run down on the food: Tuna Tataki: fresh but bland Bulgogi: delicious and comes with quite a few unique sides - the kimchi and cucumbers were so good Bibimbap: lots of fresh ingredients, tasted good, but would have loved a bit more spice - very bland in that regard Caterpillar Roll: fresh and delicious! Spider Roll: pretty good sushi roll

Came here for a too good to go (TGTG) pickup order tonight…read more I had to wait a little while since they were cooking it when I got to the store. Parking is easy as this GEN is part of a strip mall plaza-type place. The restaurant interior is dark with a very lounge-like feel to it. There were 2 parties dining when I entered. A couple more parties arrived for dine-in when I left w/my food. Food was hot when it finally arrived. I got home and portions of spicy pork, 1 marinated rib, rice, spinach and beef w/stir-fried kimchi rice is excellent. It's a very decent amount of food!! Would definitely come here again for too good to go orders and also for dine in!!!

I have been here a handful of times to enjoy their KBBQ. Overall it's a solid place to eat Korean…read moreBBQ, but if you're familiar with OG Korean BBQ it's not the same. It's a modernized American version where you can grill taco meat and other items. We came in recently on Easter to celebrate a birthday. The place wasn't packed, but there were large parties coming in after us. We stuck with the regular AYCE and were fine with the galbi and other meats. The soondubu (spicy tofu) soup was lacking flavor. It had the spicy flavor. All I tasted was the chili pepper. All the meats were good. The only downside this visit was the service. Our server kept forgetting a few of the items we asked for. It wasn't terrible, but it did slow things down for us. To be fair, he might have been juggling a lot of tables. I would still come again to eat the AYCE BBQ as it's convenient.

*Sigh,* I don't mean this to be a knock on H-Mart or on food courts but this place has made it on…read moreMANY a list for best Korean food in Austin...I think that's more of an indictment on the Korean food scene in Austin than this place. With all that being said, the food here is serviceable. It's fine, you're getting food court Korean food so if you temper your expectations. You'll get a little a tiny amount of like two banchan. My Yookgaejang was mild-ain't no other way of putting it. You can tell that the broth wasn't cooked with gochujang so you didn't get that rich, spicy flavor. Another visit I got the bibim naengmyun and it also just didn't quite get there. Just a little on the plainer side, not just talking about the lack of heat.

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.

My husband and I have tried most of the Korean places in Austin. And after more than 10 years, I…read morewas shocked that I missed this hidden gem. To start, I took my very small and loud children to this restaurant and was cautiously hoping for the best. Needless to say my kids were not the model of politeness. But the owner was undeterred. She showed extreme patience and was overly accommodating. Fortunately the restaurant is big enough to accommodate folks that do not want to be next to the louder patrons. Also, there is a baby changing station in the restroom. Great for familys. On to the food. Rice was perfectly cooked. The banchan blew my mind away. You could taste that everything was made with care.

Corn Cheese 5/5 Hot, cheesy, charred flavor, creamy, sweet,…read morejuicy. Delicious! Soy Honey Chicken 4.5/5 This was crunchy, sweet and savory, fresh, and very delicious! Although I wasn't a fan of the batter, it wasn't a big deal. Good with rice and onions add freshness! Short Rib 4/5 This has a lighter flavor. The first time I went it wasn't great because it was chewy but the second time I went it was delicious! Steamed Egg 2/5 Although this was hot and soft, there was no flavor at all other than egg. I wouldn't get it again. Kimchi Pancake 4/5 This was crispy and good but it was a bit doughy and it needs more kimchi. The sauce was yummy though! I like vinegar flavors so this sauce was more salty than tangy. It also had a yummy onion flavor. Pork Belly 5/5 Although this came plain and seems like not much, it was actually very delicious! The pork belly was juicy, tender, and it had a nice fat flavor. Yang Dak 5/5 This is a very saucy, sweet, savory, and delicious dish! I enjoyed the fried rice cakes that came with it, and the sauce added so much to it! The radish was bitter but I'm not sure if there was something wrong with my tastebuds. The flavor was sweet, savory, and very gochujang. Juicy and crispy! Kimchi Stew 5/5 This kimchi stew is fresh, spicy, salty, tangy, and everything needed after a long day! Honestly, the personal serving was big and enough for 3 people. Definitely try this out! Good vibes at night, good service, not bad prices compared to nearby places, check it out!

Not going to write a long review, it is pointless. This place is an absolute "yes" recommendation…read moreeither for a casual lunch or a fancy dinner. We did not know anything about it, stumbled upon it while were in the area. What a delight. An amassing service. Very fast and very friendly. Good interior design, great menu to satisfy any cravings. Nice selection of appetizers waiting for you on the table. Short ribs BBQ is a must. And it goes on and on. Everything we tried was up to par. I see some reviews share a concern regarding pricing. Lunch for three hungry people including tips was $85, For amount of food and the selection you get this is not even moderately expensive, this is a very reasonable price. This is definitely a recommendation.

I…read moreonly went with 1 other person so we ended up not going with a combo and just ordering a few things.

They checked in often and made sure we were all good. Definitely will come back !

I must have driven by this restaurant whenever I was on Parmer for like 15 years ... and never got…read morearound to going in. When I finally did, I discovered one of the best Japanese restaurants in Austin. Okay ... if you are going to pay $600 for an omikase then the omikase place is better. The tasting menu at Uchi is better. But if you just want Japanese without paying a gold brick and taking out a second mortgage on your house, Miyo Yakitori and Sushi is pretty damm fine. * * * a) Japanese curry is a utility dish in most Japanese restaurants ... and when you get down to it, in most Japanese homes. It is often what you serve on "cheap" night. Airport hotels offer it as the "free dinner" for tired travellers. The curry sauce itself here is standard issue. But they serve it with a Pork Katsu the size of Williamson county. And it is a very good Pork Katsu. That Katsu was good from Liberty Hill to Thrall and from Hester's Crossing to Jarrell. b) My carnivorous partner's Fireball Udon with Shellfish blew him away. Temperature wise and aesthetic pleasure wise. He raved about how good his udon was all the way home. c) Service was instantaneous. I think there was some sort of event horizon distortion of the space time continuum that allowed them to prepare the food and then go back in time and deliver it within a minute of it being ordered. Both of us were impressed. d) The service staff was as nice as any human beings could possibly be. * * * Great food. Great service. The folks who live in the apartment complex that Miyo is in are very lucky people indeed. Either the apartments are lovely and they get Miyo on top of that. Or the apartments are terrible, but they can still spend all their time in Miyo to compensate. Seems like a fair trade. **************** If you read the other reviews, There seems to be some controversy about this establishment. Miyo has fans and Miyo has haters. * * * Here is my read on the conflicting opinions: a) Earlier in the restaurant's history - Say about 2016, 17, or 18, The restaurant was not very good at all. I think at that time it had another name. b) There was a name change and quality went up. Sometimes when this happens there is an ownership change (or there is an owner who swaps out the management and cooking team to put in new blood.) However, things got fixed, they got fixed. c) Miyo's yakitori is apparently still not where it needs to be. I am not a huge Yakitori fan. If your broiled meat on a stick is not $80 an ounce Wagyu, Or amazing organ meats grilled in the Caucasus Barded with lamb fat and with farm fresh vegetables On another skewer for serious taste contrast ... If you are not at that high level, I don't want to pay for meat on a skewer. There are people who DO like Yakitori. They do NOT like the Miyo versions of that. * * * Yakitori is less than 20% of Miyo's menu. The rest is sushi or wonderful cooked dishes. Lay off the skewer food and you can do well here.
