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!

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.

Be aware that this restaurant actually closes at 9:00 PM, not 9:30 PM as advertised. They should…read moreupdate their hours on both Yelp and their front door to avoid confusing customers. We walked in at 9:03 PM on a Tuesday expecting they were still open based on the posted hours, but were told they had already closed. While I understand businesses have to close at some point, what was disappointing was the way it was handled. Instead of a polite, "I'm sorry, we just closed," the hostess greeted us with a condescending, "Uh, are you meeting someone here?" The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude and left a poor first impression. Accurate business hours and a more courteous response would have made all the difference.

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...

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

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.

The ambiance was plain - so much potential for such a wooded location nestled in the hills. But the sparse decor and cold finishes and the the freezing AC just made me want to get out.

Food: FRIED CHICKEN…read moreWINGS [YANGNYEOM] (19.95$) - I loved this one. It is fried to perfection. Crispy, thinly battered so not too greasy or oily. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the sauce is sweet, sticky, and flavorful! Portion sizes are really good too! Big chicken!! GALBI TANG (22.95$) - It was warming and a bit sweet which was nice. The soup was savory and sweet and comforting. The beef was soft and tender too. It also came with glass noodles inside as well. SPICY PORK (18.95$) - The pork was also good. It was not spicy, so don't worry about that if you are not good with spice. The pork was tender and soft, not chewy so that was great. I loved that it was not too oily, but had the perfect amount of sauce for an infused flavorful bite. They give banchan: kimchi, fish cakes, potato, and other sides. Overall no complaints for the food! Service: Everything came out fast and hot. The staff are nice and helpful. Ambiance: Very cozy vibes. Feels authentic and homestyle. Great to go with friends or family or even as a date. Not loud.

I was craving Korean food, so we decided to give SOHA a try, and it absolutely did not…read moredisappoint!!! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with genuine warmth and such positive energy. The welcoming atmosphere, attentive service, and chill vibe made us feel right at home. Every dish we ordered was outstanding and packed with flavor. The seafood pancake was cooked to crispy perfection, something that's surprisingly hard to find, as it's often left a bit doughy at other restaurants. The steamed egg was light, fluffy, and comforting, while the spicy tofu pork soup was phenomenal. It had just the right amount of heat, with silky, melt-in-your-mouth tofu and incredibly tender pork belly that paired perfectly with a bowl of rice. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the service. At one point I accidentally dropped my chopsticks, and before I could even ask for another pair, one of the servers noticed from across the restaurant and immediately brought me a new set. It's those small, thoughtful touches that really set a restaurant apart. SOHA exceeded my expectations in every way. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Korean food with genuinely exceptional hospitality, this is the place. It has officially become a must-visit every time I'm in Austin.

I came here on a Friday afternoon with 3 other people. We started with waters and the cheese corn…read more The water was a bit weird in styrofoam cups, we constantly had to pick little bits from the water. I ordered the Korean sweet and spicy fried chicken which costs $30. I originally wanted to leave this review 3 stars due to the water and the cost for the portion of the plate, but couldn't since the chicken was sooooooo good! The flavor and the spice were perfect, I would come back for it. It's a must try!! The menu had a lot of items that sounded good. My friends ordered a variety of things and they all tasted amazing and wasn't as expensive as the fried chicken. The atmosphere was fun and chill for a Friday evening, lots of music videos playing on multiple screens. Towards 7pm it started filling up pretty fast and got pretty packed. I would go earlier if you don't want to wait!

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
