This location has been reopened now for 2 weeks and I believe there is new ownership/management…read more This is a cute small location in a strip area near the Asian market. 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.

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!

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 loved Chodang Village so much that we ended up going two weekends in a row! The first time was…read moreSaturday around 4:20 PM, then again the following Sunday at 3 PM--and both times it wasn't busy at all. 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.

Definitely one of my favorite sushi spots to go to. I love this place. Everything always comes…read moreout really well. The sushi is always excellent. The service is pretty dang good. 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.

This is my favorite sushi restaurant outside of Austin…read more The fish is high quality. The presentation is beautiful. The nigiri is a work of art, served with kizami (real wasabi) which is hard to find. They also serve traditional Korean dishes (bulgogi, Japchae, Bibimbap). I recommend the dinner bento box which gives a lot of bang for your buck! Bento box is plentiful, delicious, and offers variety. Japanese beer and sake available to order. The restaurant is peaceful, calming and clean. Service is always great and attentive. Easy parking in a strip mall.

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.

This is a very late review (we went on a Saturday afternoon, not this past weekend), but I still…read morewanted to share because we had such a good experience. We were seated quickly, which was a great start. The food was absolutely delicious. It was our first time at this restaurant, and the server was helpful, attentive, and made the experience even better. The atmosphere was really nice -- comfortable and inviting without feeling overwhelming. I would definitely recommend this spot and location if you enjoy Korean BBQ. We'll definitely be back!

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!

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.

Some of my Korean friends really recommended this place for a dinner and it took a bit to make it…read morethere since it's all the way in Cedar Park. It took about 20-ish min to get a table on a little busy of a Saturday evening. The staff were nice, fast, and attentive. My only complaint is that we were asked if we were ready to order as soon as we sat down. It was the first time for all 4 of us so we needed time to look around. I have to note that the meat quality overall is pretty good. We got a premium beef combo for a group of 4 and added some pork belly. It was a great amount of food and we were stuffed. The beer prices are pretty good, especially for large bottles. Banchan is fresh and tasted good, the staff made effort to refill it mid-dinner. Prices for individual plates of meats are rather on a high end for about $24 for 3 slices of pork belly. Adding lettuce is a must to make ssams. If you're not a forgetful kind (hi to fellow ADHD baddies) take advantage of hiding space under your seat to keep your outer layer of clothes and a bag away from the smoke and bbq smell. A note to the management: PLEASE, make your sound system play the music from the music videos that are playing on TVs. If I get to see BTS on TV, I want to hear them too. :,) We will return some time to try more options and for a round of somaek :D
