Kochu Korean Eatery

My visit to Kochu Korean Eatery was a great experience! The interior is bright and welcoming. The gentleman at the register was a highlight- super friendly, offering us samples of their signature drinks. The brown sugar lemonade was an absolute delight, refreshing and perfectly balanced. We ordered the bulgogi dosirak and the teriyaki chicken, both of which were delicious. The bulgogi was tender and flavorful, and the teriyaki chicken was very tasty, but could use a little more chicken and less rice, but you can add an egg on request if you want a little more protein in your meal. The food was fresh and well prepared, though it took 15 minutes to arrive. A convenient self-service station with water, cutlery, and to-go boxes added to the overall experience, making it easy to take leftovers home. The cleanliness of the bathrooms was also a plus. Overall, Kochu is great stop to get your lunch.

My fiancé and I stopped by for lunch and got the Korean fried chicken & spicy chicken plate. The food was AMAZING especially for the price. You can’t get 8 Korean fried chicken wings of this quality for $13-$14. The place was clean and the staff were friendly. The cashier offered us some tasters of their juice. Tamarind was my favorite. We’ll definitely be back :)

I like their Yangnyeom FIRE sauce for crispy chicken wings! It’s so flavorful, but if it were a bit spicier, it would be perfect. I also had the Bulgogi Kimbap and Jajangmyeon with pork belly, which were pretty good too. You may also want to try their house made fruit juices, I had the watermelon lime and tamarind. The customer service was very nice. I’ll be back whenever I’m craving Jajangmyeon and K-wings.

We came in from out of town and saw this place on TikTok and let me tell you that it is so so good here! The service is great, the place is clean and cute. The dumplings and pork belly was soo good. The wings though, were to die for. We got honey siracha and we tore everything up. The juices we got was watermelon lime and lemonade with brown sugar and it was delicious too. 10/10 will be back in Austin just for this place again

I ordered jjajangmyeon with added pork belly and K-wings honey siracha. Wings are good. Jjajangmyeon is also good but a little salty to my taste, but it's very well seasoned compared to other places I had before.

I had this place in my wanting to go for a while and it was pretty good! Their boneless chicken and bulgori bowl were very tasty and generous amounts of food! Their drinks were very refreshing as well! Worth coming back!

I have saved this place to try it out. And now that I have, I want to say this.... This place is pretty nice, small, but nice. The food is very good. The taste of the teriyaki Salmon, which is what I had, is very tasteful. The sauce on my veggies with my plate were very good. The dumplings we very good, not too crispy like the other do, they were just right amount of crisp. Oh, and the sauce that comes with the Dumplings, which its not teriyaki sauce, is something different. Which it work dipping the dumplings in. Very good on there part. All in all, the place has very good food. I will come back to try the rest. Thank you

Me and my husband just had lunch now here and we left the place satisfied with everything we ordered and the service that we got. The food here were amazing and the price are reasonable. The one who took our orders on the counter is polite and approachable. He did all the works to accommodate their guests including me and my husband and that’s a star points for us who experienced it. Thank you, we will definitely come and try again their food🙏🏻

Had those cravings for some Korean Fried Chicken, and saw that this place was very close to the domain area with high ratings. Came on in and was pleasantly surprised. Atmosphere: Modern korean stop design, complete with TVs playing Kpop and memorabilia. Food: Definitely will comeback for the fried chicken. Meaty and just the right amount of breading along with the combination of yangyeum (like a sweet korean chili sauce), made for a delectable treat that almost filled me. Their other choices are easily just as tempting, I ended up going with the Bulgogi. Service: Very friendly, at the time I went when the owner was on duty and he made some great recommendations. Great food for a great price, will easily come back for the wings and other dishes

Solid 4! My friend and I were in the area before an event and Kochu's menu was an alluring option for a quick lunch prior. FOOD: My friend ordered the bulgogi bowl, which she said was delicious. I got the spicy squid & we also ordered a vegetable kimbap to share. The spicy squid was well-seasoned and just the right amount of mild spiciness to have a kick but it would probably be nothing to more seasoned spice enthusiasts. The banchan was average. AMBIANCE: Kochu had casual dining ambiance to the letter, with tinges of South Korea in the decor. SERVICE: The cashier who we ordered from was nice and friendly. This place offers good eats for a relatively cost-effective price but it's nothing special. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to come here again if I'm ever in the area.

The quality of the Korean food here is quite high, although I will also say that the prices are also quite high, and you could probably get better value elsewhere (I did order delivery so there are often higher prices on there). Soegogi Muguk (Beef Radish soup) - I don't often crave soup, but I had a craving for a lighter soup, and this really hit the spot. This type of soup is definitely a comfort food. Kimchi French Fries - The opposite of the soup, this dish was quite decadent, but very flavorful. Galbi Plate - The galbi plate was good, but I would say I've had better galbi to-go. Galbi isn't normally my option when getting delivery, but I felt like trying it out. I think their banchan is a little bit lacking, it would be nice if they had more and more variety of it. Yangyeum K-Wings - delicious wings, quite sweet and spicy. Kimbap - they forgot this in the order but at least they refunded me.

I ordered takeout from Kochu, and everything was packaged super well and came very quickly! Korean food is almost always on the pricier side, so expect to spend $45+ on two entrees. Their kimchi is really good and actually pretty spicy. I got their bulgogi rice plate. Japchae, salad, and bulgogi were all delicious. I was also craving some soup, so I got their beef and potato soup. Texture and flavor were awesome. I can't wait to order from Kochu again! It's definitely a new favorite Korean restaurant in the area.

Great KFC!! And a super reasonable price too. An order of k-wings is 8 pieces and it comes out nice and fresh. I came with a party of 9 and they had put a table together for us since I called in advance. I like how everyone can scan the QR code and order/pay on their own. It avoided the hassle of putting everything on one check and having to venmo request people. Service was friendly! I really enjoyed the honey sriracha wing flavor and also got a side of pork gyoza that was decent. The gyoza were a bit smaller in size than I expected, but nothing to really complain about. Definitely come check this place out!

Kochu is a casual korean restaurant specializing in rice bowls with pretty authentic flavors and good portion sizes. They give a lot of rice, but I do wish the proportions were better. Like more meat and vegetables. We also got the kimchi fries, which were good but I didn't care too much for. And the k-wings, which I liked a lot! The sauce was delicious, the chicken was crispy, and the inside was not too dry. I will say it was more expensive than I expected. The base price isn't the worst, but I was expecting more meat. And then if you want extra of anything, there's a surcharge. Even for sauces! And adding meat is like an additional $4/5. Overall a solid spot for when you're craving some Korean food, but not exactly a place where you'd have the best food of your life.

THE BIG: Located in North Austin inside the Crossroads Shopping center facing Burnet Road. Small eatery spot but it packs quite the menu. Plenty of parking in the lot. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The wife and I came here for something quick and korean. Kochu showed up on google maps and I'm surprised how I never knew about this spot before. Very industrial interior with order first and then sit down and eat. We got the Korean fried chicken and jjajangmyeon. The jjajangmyeon reminded me of the chinese version and the buckwheat noodles were delicious! The korean fried chicken came in a couple of flavors. We got the spicy soy garlic. A staple and oh so good. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done for two dishes was around $30, not bad and a very delicious meal for those seeking casual korean fare. Will be back!

I've ordered beef soup, the bulgogi plate and tamarind juice over two visits. The beef soup was nothing to write home about. I ordered the bulgogi plate and tamarind juice over grub hub. I thought it was decent and would order from here again. You would probably find the bulgogi and japchae bland compared to Korea House, but my blood pressure appreciated that it wasn't salty. Minus one star, because $20 is expensive for a bulgogi plate. For $20, I'm used to eating kalbi or receiving 10 banchans. Their side salad dressing was just OK. I do prefer my dressing a little sweeter. Their japchae is good, but not worth paying $20 for. Their kimchi was just OK. The tamarind juice was really good and not too sweet.

Drove an hour here because my boyfriend read the reviews. I would never go out of my way to come back. The food was mediocre at best. It was not bad but it was not outstanding. I would never give it 5 stars. The ambience is cheesy and decor looks cheap. The staff is friendly but telling customer bulgogi is the most popular dish (basic and generic like Taco Bell is to Mexican food) is silly. If you are near this shopping center I guess give it a try.

Its a solid 3.5- This is a newer Korean spot off Burnet with a counter service style. Went in and it was pretty straightforward- you order at the counter and they drop off your food at your table. Its no frills and very casual. I got the Jajangmyeon and the Bulgogi platter. Flavor wise it was good, i wished the jajangmyeon was a bit more flavorful as it bordered on bland. The pork helped punch it up a bit. The bulgogi was solid though, and with the fried rice it was good. My only issue with the proteins was the price, for galbi and bulgogi they were getting close to full service Korean restaurant prices. If you're charging premium, maybe offer a bit more service. Just my two cents. Otherwise it's a decent fast casual korean place if you're in a hurry.

I'm always down to try a new Korean restaurant. This is place gives a very casual place to eat and if you're looking for somewhere to go after church this could be a good place to try! I wasn't super hungry so I just ordered the kimchi fries, but I thought they were decent. I always worry the fries will get soggy with all the toppings, but these were pretty crispy still. The spicy pork was yummy too. The rice bowls were a lot bigger than I thought. So that's a good deal for the price. The wings weren't that crispy, but the sauce was good. It is kinda pricey, but most Korean restaurants are pricey.

Very causal vibe upon walking in, it can almost serve as a fast causal restaurant. If I was going to introduce someone to Korean food, this would be a good place because Kochu definitely has popular dishes that are wonderful introduction to Korean food. We got the chicken wings and bulgogi plate. The chicken wings were crispy and definitely well priced. The bulgogi plate had really good meat but I just wanted more flavor in the japchae and kimchi. I would definitely come back here for the wings.

I saw this new Korean spot in an Instagram reel, so I had to go check it out! Kochu is located on Burnet, a little South of the Domain. There is plenty of parking around the restaurant. As soon as we entered, we were greeted enthusiastically by the person working the register and several others. They offered us samples of their drinks and explained a bit about the menu. This is a counter service spot, with self-seating after you order. They offer a lot of the standard Korean dishes, including Korean fried chicken, jajangmyeon, buldak ramen, and bibimbap. We ordered: - Bibimbap with bulgogi: Pretty solid bibimbap, the egg was cooked to a perfect jammy texture and the bulgogi was lightly sweet. - Buldak ramen: This was pretty spicy (as expected for buldak) but not unbearable. The cheese definitely helped a bit! There is actually spicy chicken under all those noodles too, so not a bad value. - Spicy jeyuk plate: They offer plates and bowls for each protein, and the plates come with slaw and japchae. They also gave us a ginger sauce for the rice, which was refreshing after all the spice. The pork was a thicker cut than I'm used to seeing in this dish, but it was still tender and I enjoyed it. My one complaint is that the japchae had a strong taste of black pepper. Overall, this seems to be a pretty solid Korean spot and a nice addition to the neighborhood! The spicy jeyuk plate took a long time to come out, but someone who seemed to be the owner came over and apologized and checked on us which was nice. All of the staff were very friendly and seemed enthusiastic about the food, which was the best part. I wish they offered banchan with every order and not as a separate side order, but it's understandable considering they aren't a true sit-down restaurant. I would give this place 4.5 stars but I'm rounding up since they're new!

fairly new korean place but not one of my favorites. i found the portions of meat to be on the lesser side compared to the higher prices, especially for the bowls. i was overall disappointed in the flavor of the meat as it wasn't very flavorful, making the small portion of meat not yummy. i enjoyed the flavor of the wings but again thought was very small sized. i tried the kimchi fries and was sad by the lack of meat. service was very friendly and the restaurant was very clean! overall, wouldn't come recommend if looking for good korean food.

Came to Kochu on a colder evening this Winter and was well greeted and given drink samples to try. Great first impression! Parking was plentiful as well, so that's always a plus. We ordered the Birria shin ramen, the spicy pork box, and original wings to share between the two of us. Wings were good, ramen hit the spot and the japchae that came with the box was also good. Overall, it's definitely fusion comfort food, which is good in a pinch, but not at the very top of our list. We'll come back at some point whenever we crave for that comforting shin birria, but unsure when yet. Certainly worth a visit if you haven't been and decide for yourself, though. Again, the comfort level is certainly there, and everything was quick as it is more of a self-serve restaurant.

Well done Kochu, well done. This is the spot yall!! Kochu offers an exciting menu of Korean dishes and they do it right. First off, the service here was outstanding. The owner (in assuming who it was that was helping us out) recommended so many dishes and gave a break down of every plate. When I started asking how their kimchi was made I think he knew right away that we were seasoned veterans of Korean cuisines haha. The spot is sort of hidden in a shopping center but they do stick out with their lighting and ambience. All the Korean decor was amazing and really brings the place out. The food. Wow. Simply a 5/5. The bulgogi bowl and the kimchi fried rice were top notch! I'd say they are pretty high on the list of great Korean cuisines in the Austin area. I recommend trying the tamarind drink as well, not too sweet and super tasty. I can't wait to be back, I highly recommend going if you haven't already!

The inside is actually very spacious and after ordering at the front you can seat yourself. I came with a party and we all got variations of the plate options. For the spicy jeyuk (pork) plate I think the spice is pretty tame so don't worry about it being unbearably spicy. The pork was a bit dry and after a while I got bored of the taste, the bulgogi was a bit better I'd say. Best part about the plate was the japchae, all the sides were great.

This place is one word: DELICIOUS Kochu is a new addition to north Austin, serving Korean classics in a casual setting. They have a lot of seating inside, but they have to-go platters prepared if you can't dine-in. The owner and staff are so friendly and happy to answer any questions you have. They helped us order and even gave us some samples of their homemade teas: tamarind, hibiscus For the food we ordered: Chicken buldak Spicy jeuk plate(spicy pork) (add fried rice instead of white rice), served with japchae Yangyeum wings Bulgogi kimbap Everything was made fresh to order and portions are HUGE here! Perfect for sharing and you'll prob have a ton a box of things to-go. Served with our food, we got homemade kimchi (made by the owners sister!) and a delicious ginger sauce. The ginger sauce really brightens up everything, from the spicy jeuk to the wings. Highly, highly recommend the next time you're in the mood for Korean food. You won't leave here hungry!

A new contender in the Austin Korean fried chicken market! Kochu has crazy good wings for a very reasonable price. They're 8 for roughly $10, which is very solid considering places like bbq chicken sell for much more. The wings are smaller than those at hi wings but the flavor is definitely there. We got the yangyeom and the honey teriyaki and it was delicious. We also got the beef bulgogi bowl, which was very good but not spectacular compared to some other places. Still a good portion and very yummy. The owners are super nice, the staff is very sweet, and the service overall is amazing! I'll be back and I definitely recommend giving this local restaurant a try.

Saw this place awhile back on IG and finally was able to come try it. Love the fact that there is a quick option for korean food in town. I ordered a jajangmyung (sp?) with pork belly and the honey sriracha chicken wings. Love the metal water cups as well. Brings me back to my childhood and korean restaurants back in the day. My kids got the bulgogi bowls with an egg. Portion sizes were good, and everyone enjoyed their meals. I thought the chicken wings were one of the highlights and I usually don't like wet wings. The batter had a great crunch, flavor was really good, and the inside was moist and tender. We will definitely be back!

100% recommend this place. The protein is so savory, the rice has this really subtle seasoning, salad is plain but delicious, and the noodles taste great. It's a bit pricey but I think it's worth $18. I've been here several times and the service is outstanding. I can see that the manager here cares a lot about how the food tastes and looks. I over heard him telling the cook to redo a plate because of the presentation. For that reason I will keep returning. Great job!!

A casual spot for some yummy fast Korean food! I got the kimchi fries and snacked on my friend's wings and buldak (not pictured). Overall super chill atmosphere and service was fast! Definitely will return to try more of the menu.

Came here yesterday for lunch with some coworkers and we all loved this spot! The staff was very nice and gave me some samples of their teas, which were very good. I ended up getting the spicy chicken bowl, which was so good and had lots of flavor and was a good size. My coworker got the K wings for us all to try and they were also really good. Had a good amount of crunch to them and the sauce was sweet and savory. This restaurant isn't very large so it doesn't have a ton of seating but it was nice and definitely a good spot for a quick meal.

Came here with my husband and 2 small children for dinner. It's counter service/fast casual so you order either at the counter or via a QR code at the table. The QR code was not working for us so we ordered at the counter. The food came out quick and it was very delicious. We got the K wings, a bulgogi bowl and 3 birria ramen (2 of which were for my small children). The ramen broth was too spicy for my kids. When I ordered I didn't realize "shin ramen" was suppose to be spicy. But they wanted noodles and in my experience ramen broth isn't usually spicy, neither is birria. I apologized to the people at the counter and brought them the ramen while explaining the situation and I told them I'd like to order something else for the kids. They proceeded to ring me up full price for my replacement dishes. The young man was rude when I asked if I were getting a credit since the food was untouched (since typically at restaurants that's how they handle these situations) and that I was happy to pay for the difference in price for the dishes. He went and got the manager who explained to me that that's not how they operate and I'd have to pay full price for 2 new dishes. Fine. After the manager left, I asked the young man if I could take the ramen home since I had paid for them already, to which he told me he threw them away. Confused I said "I wish I would have known you were throwing them away, if I had known I had to pay to replace those meals I would have kept them". He responded, "oh well.. can't help you now.." he turned his back and walked off into the kitchen. At this point I'm pissed off. I couldn't believe his rudeness to a paying customer. When the same young man brought two new plates to the table he brought the wrong food. And since now I have an attitude I just brought them right back to the counter and said "this isn't what I ordered". The manager quickly brought the corrected dishes. The food was great but my experience was ruined with terribly dismissive customer service and lack of communication, specially from the young man at the counter. I likely won't return. If you don't care about being treated like they don't need your business, I'd suggest take out from this place at beat, but they won't get another dime out of me. 7 meals and 4 drinks: ~$133.

The food was amazing. Very good. I enjoyed the spicy, sweet and tangy flavors! The service was good. Ordered from our table.

Came here for lunch today after hearing about this place from the Asian food group on Facebook. The owner was super nice and gave us samples of their juices. We ordered the wings with French fries, japchae, and buldak with noodles. Everything came out fast and hot. My favorites were the japchae and the fries. The japchae tastes a little different from what I'm used to as they add some chives in but I really liked the flavor. French fries are so nice and crispy. Overall a really great place to grab a quick lunch.

A hidden gem in Austin for SURE!One of the BIGGEST surprises for us in Austin! We were SO SURPRISED of the MANY good food choices they had here. Korean Fried chicken is of course a MUST but their plates, noodles... EVERYTHING was GOOD! Must Try: - Korean Fried Chicken - Bulgogi Bowl - Galbi (Short Rib) - Bibimbap Bowl - Jjajangmyeon (Black bean sauce on top of noodles) PLEASE check them out and tell all your friends. That food was AMAZING and they deserve the attention

Just found this local restaurant on a local Facebook group for Asian eats. So glad I did. Prices are very reasonable for all things on the menu and the food is actually very delicious. I ordered the kimchi fries which was enough for two and was very good except next time I like kimchi so much I think I'll order extra. I also ordered the beef bulgogi, which came in a bowl and was fantastic. Lots of veggies and lots of kimchi. All in all a great experience will definitely be coming back here again

I had the spicy chicken plate and the yangyeum k wings. Our food came out fast and was hot and fresh. Everything was incredibly flavorful. The wings were cooked and sauced to heavenly perfection. My chicken was well seasoned. The kimchi was sooo good. I will definitely get it as a side order next time. The meal also came with a pretty generous serving. I also had the hibiscus tea. The tea is house made and tasted great. The customer service was excellent. The crew was very patient, helpful, and friendly. The restaurant looked very clean and well kept. Overall, I had a great experience and I'll be back.

Kochu is delicious and well priced. The service at this fast casual Korean concept was superb, I believe the owner took care of us the whole time. We tried a lot - cheesy, spicy buldak w chicken, so satisfying. "World Famous" fried rice with an egg on top and yes, it did love up to its name.. Fried crunchy, saucy wings. Jajangmyeon noodles w a deeply flavored black bean sauce and pork belly. Sampled the house juices,, loved the tamarind the most. The price point made it doable to try and share so much! Order at the counter and then pick your own table. Make sure to check the qr code for an online menu as it is more extensive than the paper menu. Tons of classic soups I didn't see on the paper version. I hope they keep getting steady and growing business and are here to stay!

My party and I enjoyed our experience at Kochu. The space and bathrooms were clean, the staff was kind and attentive, and the food was tasty. I had the pork dumplings and kimchi fries and I really enjoyed it. It was a new dish for me to try so I'm glad I liked it. I'm not a huge fan of ordering on your phone using a QR code, especially since there was a slight complication with someone's order and correlation with their table in our group, but it didn't detract from the overall experience.

So happy this place is in North Austin and not far from me - it's easily one of the best Korean BBQ experiences I've had in a while! Everything we tried was incredible. The chicken wings were perfectly crunchy and so flavorful, I couldn't get enough. We also ordered the Kochu Fried Rice, dumplings, egg rolls (that citrus sauce was chef's kiss), K-Wings, Bulgogi Kimbap, Bulgogi bowl, and Buldak. Every dish was packed with amazing flavor and cooked to perfection. The owners were so welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. Their hospitality really added to the experience. We'll absolutely be back--this place is a gem! If you're in the area, don't sleep on Kochu!

They took over Humptys breakfast spot for location context. When you walk in, you order at the register and they give you a number and will bring the food to your table. Service was super friendly and they did a good job of remodeling the place to feel bright and open. We ordered the jajangmyeon, chicken wings, and a spicy chicken buldak plate. The jajangmyeon was okay. It didn't have the umami flavor that I'm used to and would probably pass on ordering this again. The chicken wings were crispy and had a good flavor. The chicken buldak plate was good but nothing super special. Personally didn't think it was super spicy if anyone's worried about that. Overall a good experience and glad we tried it.

I'm glad to see this new Korean spot open up in this location. I ordered the Spicy Jeyuk Plate and egg rolls. The star of the dish, the pork, was perfectly spiced and the kochujang-based sauce gave the meat a nice balance of heat and sweet. The side dishes meet expectations, especially the kimchi which had a nice bite. The food is the star, but I'll mention a few other highlights: * friendly, helpful staff; * clean, bright dinning area; * everything made to order (I overheard several customers ask for modifications which were accommodated); and * open kitchen so you can watch the cooks prepare everything.

Came in for a late lunch and the two gentleman, potentially owners greeted us so kindly! Offering samples of their homemade juices was a plus. Food came out quick as they consider themself fast food eatery. They will be offering alcohol (Soju) in the near future. Easy parking. Beef Bulgogi Bowl $14.95: it was on the salty side for me. Rice and veggies were perfectly cooked and helped with the saltiness. The homemade Kimchi was great. Buldak Chicken: What you would imagine, nice kick and delish noodles. Added a side of fries that were great. We enjoyed the ginger sauce. K-Fried Wings: Super crispy and tender on the inside. Large pieces. A little too much sauce for our liking. Could you offer white radish on the side? That would top it off! 4.5/5 with minor adjustments to seasoning and sauces. Service was excellent would love to come back and try other offerings.

Super fast service, we received our food hot and fresh in less than 10 minutes after we ordered. I really enjoyed both the bulgogi plate and chicken bowl, everything had great flavor, especially the meats and kimchi. The gochujang sauce we had on the side was so good, I need to get a bottle for myself. I want to come back and try the wings, they look delicious everytime they walked out the kitchen with a plate!

It was my family and mines first time coming here. Truly amazing! I have a gluten allergy and shellfish allergy. I notified the owner and without skipping a beat gave me options. He could've easily said "no modifications". That made my gluten free heart smile. I had the salmon bowl with no sauce and it was still delicious. The vibes of the restaurant are chill. The music is on point. Thanks to the owner for being kind and considerate. My brother had ordered some tempura ice cream for my niece. Unfortunately they didn't have any but the owner offered a Kit Kat ice cream and refunded my brother. Would totally come back!

We came on a Wednesday night and it was dead; we were shocked because the service is amazing the food is fantastic and you get samples of yummy teas! We are customers for LIFE! We got the bulgogi plate, jeyuk chicken and the kimchi fries- such good food and the space is gorgeous.

I guess they recently went viral on instagram, Saturday by 7pm, place was packed and no place to seat. I also overheard few items were sold out- black bean noodles, kimbob,, etc I understand it's a small restaurant and need quick turn around but was little rude for worker to come ask if they can take anything away just after few minutes since we got food.

I've only had pickup orders from here so I can't speak to the ambiance or anything but the food is 10/10! I've tried a few dishes but the beef bulgogi bowl with bibim is the standout for me. So delicious. Comes with rice and veggies and kimchi. It's a good amount of food and the only thing that I don't like is that the takeout bowl is plastic. (Wish they'd offer compostable bowls!) They've only been open for a short while but their food is in heavy rotation at my house!!

Really nice owners who let us sample some of their specialty juices and gave a free side of fries! The wings were really nice flavors and decently priced. The bulgogi bowl was pretty standard to me, but overall nice vibes and would try again!

Love this place. Food is very good and consistent. Sparkling clean with well designed dining room and restrooms. Casual and comfortable but has a bit of an upscale vibe. Food ingredients are very fresh, kimchee is house-made, rice & noodle options, vegetarian offerings as well. the owner and staff are attentive and it is obviously they truly care about the customer and take pride in their dishes. In addition to the usual Korean favorites, they offer several authentic soup dishes that I have seen on menus in Austin before.

This is not a traditional Korean restaurant. The food was fine but they do not have any banchan other than Kimchi and they charge for more Kimchi. The amount of Kimchi they give you is laughable, not even a bite, especially if you love Kimchi. What Korean restaurant charges for refills of Kimchi? It also did not taste homemade. This would be Sacrilege of Kimchi in Korea. Also staff were not very friendly. I would give three stars if they had free refills of the Kimchi like any other Korean restaurant.

Overall, it was decent! We ordered the K-wings, bulgogi bowl, garlic dumplings, and sweet chili dumplings. The sweet chili dumplings were my fav: crispy, sweet and flavorful! Next were the K-wings. Those were big and yummy- no tiny little wings at all. As for the bulgogi bowl, i felt like the bulgogi itself was pretty bland. I'm used to the meat being sweet but didn't taste much of it at this place. The staff were nice and attentive and gave us samples to their juices. Food came out fast as well!

Pretty darn good. No fuss and all results. The bulgogi bowl is probably the best in town with the meat cooked to perfection to order and the veggies fresh. I also had the jjajangmyeon and it is excelllent, probably also the best in town, but that's just my opinion. Prices are reasonable so you can eat here twice a week easily and not break the bank. It's a go!!

Kochu is my fav new spot in town! The staff is super friendly and accommodating, the atmosphere is clean and inviting. The kimchi is the absolute best, so flavorful and compliments each dish nicely! The Korean fried chicken sandwich and the kimchi fries are my favorite, both are a must try! I've also had the spicy chicken buldak which is delicious with the right amount of kick. Highly recommend!!

The food is absolutely incredible! We started with the dumplings which is regretfully the only photo I got. For our entree we ordered the bulgogi plates and chicken fried rice and it all was DELICIOUS! The service and ambiance were even better with their open cooking kitchen! Everything on the menu sounds amazing so we will be back for more! OH - and Try the teriyaki sauce - good grief!!!!

Cute venue, super friendly service, and the food was great. Some of the best bulgogi in Austin. Great job Kochu!

Amazing food and really friendly service. The manager came by our table and brought us fresh jack fruit on the house. 10/10
