"Walking into Korea House feels like a welcome escape from Austin. It’s tucked away in a courtyard off West Anderson Lane that we’re guessing hasn’t changed much in the 30+ years it’s been around. There’s a small, lily-covered pond out front that makes the experience feel a little like dining just outside of a zen garden. As far as Korean barbecue goes, meats are à la carte here, with quality that rivals the best. Thick, well-marbled cuts of galbi crisp up and sizzle on the grill, while you pick at the largest selection of banchan options we’ve come across in town." - nicolai mccrary
