This modern Korean BBQ spot invites you to grill at your table while savoring both classic dishes and some delightful surprises, all served with warm hospitality.
"Most people probably know Chosun Galbi for their Korean barbecue—with tabletop grills, banchan, and the works. But they also have a pretty robust menu of soups and stews, from brothy, beef based soups to an assortment of soon doo boo packed full of soft tofu. We really liked the dduk bae ki bulgogi here—it’s a lighter beef broth packed full of slightly-sweet bulgogi and a few glass noodles. This is definitely a more meat-heavy soup—with just enough noodles to meet our cutoff. They’re located in the Highland neighborhood, right near The Linc. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"Activity-pegged dates are always fun, and Korean barbecue is always a people-pleaser. The Highland Korean restaurant lets you mix and match grill-your-own meat sets (the marinated short ribs are particularly great) or share the larger barbecue set while adding in classic Korean dishes and stews. There are indoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell
"Maybe you’re at Chosun Galbi for dduk bae ki bulgogi soups and large-format stews when it’s cold out. Or maybe you’re here with a group of friends, ready to take down a mountain of Korean barbecue. Platters are priced by the meat (generally from $25-40) with each designed to feed about one hungry person. But there’s also a three-person platter that comes with a little bit of everything. The banchan options here are some of the best in town, including braised potatoes, pickled radish, and cucumber kimchi. The whole experience is set in a cozy dining room that feels more like dining in an old house than in a parking lot next to a movie theater. " - nicolai mccrary
"One of Austin’s OG Korean restaurants is the perfect place to share Korean barbecue with friends, with all sorts of meats and vegetables, in the Highland neighborhood. For the best variety, opt for the assorted barbecue package, which, yes, comes with all sorts of ribs and bulgogi. Don’t bypass the other Korean dishes, from the bibimbap to dduk mandu guk (Korean rice cakes and dumplings soup) to spicy stir-fried squid. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
