"This casual restaurant, located near the Red River live music district, serves easy pan-Asian fare with plenty of options for any diet. Bento boxes make grabbing lunch easy, but diners can also indulge in bibimbap, rice bowls, and its vegan and gluten-free options. Enhance your meal with add-ons like smoked salmon, mushrooms, or eggs — or craft your own unique bowl. On nice-weather days, head out back to the small, bright red patio." - Darcie Duttweiler
"This Korean-ish restaurant is one of the more affordable options in Downtown, with most dishes hovering around $12, and they’re known to be flavor-packed. Dishes like japchae noodles, teriyaki bowls, and bibimbap are filled with a creative combination of spices and vegetables, and every entree also comes with free miso soup. Call ahead to place your takeout orders or order online on DoorDash. Koriente has online dining only." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury

"Downtown has plenty of places where a nice dress or blazer wouldn’t feel out of place, but sometimes you just need a quick, healthy weekday lunch. When that moment comes, head to Koriente. It’s mostly Korean food—with lots of vegan and gluten-free options—with entrées that are designed to be built upon, so you can add things like chicken, tofu, mushrooms, smoked salmon, avocado, or eggs to your bowl. We like to start with a base of sweet potato japchae noodles, then just add as many vegetables as we can before they kindly ask us to stop. " - nicolai mccrary
