Buy you some. Iykyk.
Tony A.

Do it. Eat it. Enjoy it. Get laced. You want real deal "someone's mama made this" level. They do it. But they aren't making stuff to order. We already know who's in the back cheffing up some marvelous shit to get your mouth watery.

Located inside Hana World Market. It's one of the unit in the food court. Service is quick and friendly. They have many tables in the area to share with other restaurants. Food is good and affordable.

Duk Mandu Guk (rice cake dumpling beef soup) with Kimchee (cabbage and radish)
Jeff B.

Yoree is located in the food court of Hana Mart. It offers a pretty extensive menu of Korean dishes. I have eaten here a few times, and each dish I have had was delicious. Yesterday was no exception. I ordered Duk mandu guk (rice cake dumpling beef soup). It comes in a large bowl with lots of rice cake and beef. There are several dumplings as well. The broth is beef based and milky from the rice. The restaurant also puts an egg in the soup as is in many Korean dishes. The soup is not spicy but warm and delicious. This is perfect during the winter. Yes, of course there is Kimchee. Yesterday, they served me with both the traditional style plus an additional bowl of radish Kimchee. For me, this Kimchee was not spicy and a little sour but not bad. It is a self-service restaurant for the most part. You order at the counter and get your napkins. utensils, and cup for water. There is a water dispenser to fill your own cup. Then, find an open table and wait for them to call your number. If you get carry out, there is a fee of I believe of 50 cents or 1 dollar depending on your total bill. Also, they prefer cash and not a debit/credit card. Don't worry. They do take cards, but it is a little inconvenient since you have to go inside Hana Mart to the cashier and pay, then take the receipt to Yoree to get your food. The seating is open and plentiful. It is clean and organized well. It contains tables and chairs with benches along the wall. Although not fancy, Yoree offers delicious food at a reasonable price, and it's a good place to grab lunch or a quick dinner!

The food was really good! I didn't expect there to be a food court inside a market like that but it was awesome. Many different places to choose from and I'm glad I chose this one! The side dishes were really good :)

Dajei Bulgogi
Courtney B.

Today I came in for lunch with Thing One and we ordered one menu item each. Let's go! Spicy beef and vegetable soup Yukgaejang Now, I've had this menu item before but not from this establishment. What is this? The soup is slightly spicy, savory, and comforting. Yukgaejang is served with a bowl of rice, kimchi and other Korean side dishes. The yukgaejang served here was watery, lacked flavor and was served with Ramen noodles, (say whhhhhhhat, who dose that?) and lacked nearly any beef. I was thoroughly unimpressed with this menu item. In my opinion, homemade yukgaejang is better than yukgaejang at a restaurant, because you can add a host of hearty ingredients. Daeji Bulgogi- Spicy Korean Pork If you like your food with a lot of kick, daeji bulgogi won't disappoint. It combines sweet and heat with tender, thinly sliced pork for a great combination. Dwaeji-bulgogi uses Korean-based chili pepper flakes, garlic and ginger to bring the heat. This dish had very little heat and if heat in this case were measured on a Richter scale, it would be a 2. Thing One didn't mind this as he is not the biggest fan of spice. Frankly, this dish also underperformed in the flavor department as the traditional elements that are the base for this dish were muted. Overall a valiant attempt at Korean soul food, but this experience was a miss for me.

Nasty. We ordered no spicy and it came out spicy. I took it back to the counter being that it was inedible. they were so confused. They did not understand what I was saying they kept saying "you want more spice?" Just ridiculous. I know you know enough English to know exactly what I'm saying I just don't like these games people play manipulate And then the side dishes that come with the soup are extra gross. It was just really unpleasant. The veggies in the veggie soup is only tofu cucumber and onion. Really?! No noodles no vegetables. All the seats are torn walls are dirty. The one thing that was really good is that they have help yourself egg soup, but the sodium content is so high your blood pressure will probably shoot out of the top of your head.

Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab in sizzling stone bowl. Yay for crispy rice on the bottom!
Shannon B.

Nothing hip or fancy here, folks, just reasonably priced, authentic Korean dishes, made-to-order and fast. Think basic soups, noodles, rice dishes, and banchan (sides / pickles). Other neighboring stalls have come & gone over time, but Yoree seems to have enough fans to stick around. We've been eating here for years when we have a craving for dolsot bibimbap (#27, spelled Dol Sot Bi Bim Bab on the posted menu, currently listed at $12 up from $9 during the pandemic, still a bargain) and don't want to get dressed up or wait too long to eat. If you haven't yet had the pleasure, the "dolsot" part of the name means this flavorful rice meal is served in a scorching hot rock or ceramic pot that will continue to caramelize the bottom layer of rice as you devour the assortment of veggies, fungi, pickles, proteins, and sauce from the top. If you get the included runny egg garnish (and you should), be sure to work some of that yolk down to the bottom rice for an extra treat in the crisped rice, aka socarrat (Spanish) or nurungji (Korean), that you'll scrape up at the end of the meal. Bonus is that we can do some quick shopping for groceries and household goods at Hana World Market next door, then pickup a great tea and dessert at the stand in the front entrance on the way out the door. - Phone-in orders and take-out available. - Cash only at the order counter, but you can pay with credit card inside the grocery store. - Open 11a-8:30p daily. - Masks required for entry to the food court and store.

Great price for great flavor and size. Jjajangmyeon: Highly recommended. The sauce is flavorful, the noodles are well cooked. It comes with cabbage and radish kimchi (they're average but help cut through the dish) Pancake: It's HUGE. Still has that crispiness on the outside and has plenty of seafood inside. *There is self-serve free soup at the counter near the utensils. I had Korean egg drop soup there a couple of times but the most recent one was soooo salty that I couldn't finish more than a couple of spoons. I do think that's a one time thing so you got nothing to worry about *They do charge 25c for each to-go box and $1 flat rate extra for take out so make sure you order enough to finish there or bring your own container to take home. Solid choice for Korean food in Austin with a good price

Nak Ji Bok Gum. Not bad
Omar M.

Food was okay. Bland yet spicy. Spicy by itself isn't flavorful. Service was terrible until a group of Korean guys came in then the woman at the front became friendly all of the sudden. Also, if you don't bring cash, you'll have to pay next-door inside Hana market and return with a receipt of payment. Super inconvenient especially if you have to stand in both the restaurant's and then the market's line. Food was bad enough to not bring home any of our leftovers. The beef broth had tough meat and they were stingy with the octopus. We won't be coming back for rude service nor their food. Meh.

Jajangmyun - noodles with black bean sauce
Thu T.

I always come to Yoree for jjajangmyeon and pancake. Huge portion at a very reasonable price. The sauce has good thickness and is very flavorful. It comes with kimchi and pickled radish. Pancake is panfried to perfection - crunchy texture on the outside but soft on the inside, scallion is not over cooked inside either. They also have a hot self-served soup pot that changes quite often. The ones I've tried are Korean style egg drop soup and spicy vegetable soup. Both are delicious. The broth of egg drop soup is super clear with no single drop of oil. One thing to keep in mind is they charge 25 cents per to-go box, so you gotta come with a big appetite. Their portion is big, so if there's a chance you may need to take it home, be prepared and bring your own containers to avoid the charge. For to-go orders, they also charge a flat rate of $1 for boxes. Surrounding food stands come and go so often but Yoree has been standing strong for years. Very good little Korean food stand in the area.

gamjatang pork neck bone & potato soup
Ruby C.

Three stars for variety & price. 1.5 to 2 stars for taste. All based on the gamjatang and jjm. JJM was sickeningly sweet. Even adding gochugaru didn't save the dish - tastier but still too sweet. Better off buying JJ sauce and making at home. Gamjatang = least amount of meat I've seen in this dish and meat looked and tasted like it had been frozen for a very long time. The base was full of kimchi and tasted like kimchijigae rather than GJT. The broth was so hot the kimchi was overboiled almost to a mush. Kimchi given as a side is okay. Maybe I'm ordering the wrong dishes here. I've seen people order the dolsot bibimbap.

#4, japchae
Nicholas W.

This place seems popular for Sunday lunch, but my family has had mixed experiences. They're also cash only which is somewhat inconvenient. I got the curry rice (#45) which was tasty and good value, definitely enough for 1.5 meals. However, my family got some soup dishes (#2 gom tang and #33 whole chicken soup) that were bland and felt like there wasn't enough to justify the cost. There was also a piece of plastic in my sister's soup.

For a food court restaurant, not bad. Especially for Korean food in Austin. Ordered the noodles with black bean sauce...not a typical Korean dish, but was feeling it. Will be back for other dishes.

I found this place on TikTok and looked up the location and we just drove straight to it. When we arrived I was confused because I expected a restaurant, but instead a food truck.

We got #6 I believe which was 1lb of crab, 15 shrimp with sausage, one egg and one corn. Flavors were lemon pepper and Cajun but we asked for the mild option. I also emphasized on mild (bc I have acid reflux). The guy said to give him 15-20 min. 20 min go by and he said it would be ready in about 20min when we attempted to pick it up. Overall 40+ min for overly spicy (not mild at all) plate. I wouldn't come back here. Some of the crab legs barely had any meat in them too. I came here bc I didn't realize the other crab place in Pflugerville was closed.

Springhill feels like a restaurant that's been coasting on its reputation for a long time…read more The best thing I can say is that the fryer oil appeared clean. The catfish and fried items weren't greasy, rancid, or carrying that old-oil taste that ruins a meal. For a place centered around fried food, that's important. Beyond that, the experience was pretty underwhelming. The food was bland and forgettable, cafeteria-quality at best. The salad bar was sparse with limited choices, and nearly everything being served on Styrofoam makes the entire place feel cheap and dated. Service was adequate but nothing memorable. Nobody was rude, but there wasn't much attention to detail or hospitality either. What really stood out was the condition of the facility. The restroom looked neglected, and the sink was partially detached from the wall. When customers see maintenance issues that obvious, it raises questions about the overall upkeep of the restaurant. I don't expect fine dining from a catfish buffet, but I do expect decent food, a clean facility, and some pride in presentation. Aside from the fryer oil being in good shape, there wasn't much here that would make me want to return. Pros: Clean-tasting fryer oil, food served hot. Cons: Bland food, limited salad bar, heavy use of Styrofoam, mediocre service, facility needs maintenance.

I know last time I got the clam chowder but hey, it was 102° outside! One thing that never ceases to amaze me is the cleanliness of the restaurant. It's wasn't too busy but the music was on the loud side. Maybe a touch lower please? The burrito was really nice. I thought that maybe my Mahi Mahi would be a little thicker? The fish seemed slim in comparison to the whole of the "Maines" entree. Jalapeño slices accompanied for some pizzazz. The sauce was flavorful and left no shortage of drips. I chose the side of fries. Perfectly made and absolutely screams fresh cut & fried. There's only one problem with them. They tasted fishy. That's because they fry them in the same fryer as the fish is fried. Not my kind of expectation with perfectly golden crisps. I would advise using a stand alone fryer for potatoes only please. Knox my server was very kind and hospitable & we enjoyed talking about the best hot sauce in the world which is found here, Belize's Marie Sharp's. That's a real winner to accompany your meal. Garbo's is classy but to get lobster which is what they're known for, you're going to have to pay for it. It was unfortunately a higher ticket item than I was willing to go for. Definitely improved in value from last time, thank you Garbo's. It's a nice place to dine & I hope to continue getting a superb value when I'm able to visit there again.

Nothing fancy, just some good seafood to end the night. I called in my order around 9:00 PM and ordered Combo #2, which comes with 2 snow crab clusters. We chose green mussels and shrimp with medium sauce, plus I ordered an extra side of sausage when I arrived. I got there around 9:24 PM, and there was already a line, so I honestly assumed my food probably wouldn't be ready yet. Welp... SURPRISE! My food was already sitting on the counter when I arrived. Now, I'm wondering... how long had my $56 seafood dinner been sitting there before I got there? Because by the time I got home and opened those bags, pretty much everything was COLD. And then came the real plot twist... I opened the bag expecting saucy, seasoned seafood, and instead I got DRY SEAFOOD. The sausage had more sauce on it than the entire bag of crab legs and mussels! I'm still trying to figure out how the sauce was supposed to work because the crab legs were dry, the mussels were dry, and basically all the meat was dry. The crab legs had seasoning sitting mostly on top, but there was no sauce throughout. The mussels? Just sitting there dry as the Sahara. The ONLY thing that was actually hot was the extra sausage I ordered when I got there My fiancé didn't even eat. And THAT made me even more irritated because this was supposed to be our little Friday night treat after a long night of work. Instead, I'm sitting there looking at $56 worth of cold, dry seafood like... surely somebody is playing in my face. Surfing Crab, I'm mad. I'm mad that we paid that much money. I'm mad that the food was cold. I'm mad that the seafood was dry. And most importantly, I'm mad my fiancé didn't even get to enjoy his food! For $56, I need more than a bag of seafood that looks like it has been waiting on somebody since the dinner shift started. Surfing Crab Round Rock, y'all are going to have to do better. Because when I order seafood with sauce, I expect the seafood to actually meet the sauce. Not the sausage to be swimming while the crab legs are over there fighting for moisture. Friday night: RUINED. Fiancé: DIDN'T EAT. Wallet: $56 LIGHTER. Me: MAD. I really hope this was just an off night because I wanted to like this place. But based on this experience... Surfing Crab, baby, we need to do better. At least shake the bag to get sauce on everything is that hard for a girl to ask for!!
