Authentic Korean food Very good glass noodles Good portions of chicken overall Free pickled vegetables for the lunch special Kim Chinwaa authentic Overall, great venue for lunch or dinner.

I recently visited koriente in downtown Austin, and I'm so glad I did! This small, cute restaurant may not have many seats, but it more than makes up for it with the quality of the food and service. A nice touch is that they serve free miso soup with your meal. I tried the bimbimbap, and it was absolutely delicious! The portion was generous and super filling, packed with fresh ingredients and perfectly seasoned. The service was friendly and efficient, which made the whole experience even better. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food in downtown Austin, koriente is definitely worth checking out.

This restaurant is amazing! I have celiac disease and so it's often hard to find places to eat but the guy at the front had a whole separate gluten free menu I could use. It was incredible feeling just like everyone else dining there and not having to pester staff with questions about my dietary needs. I ended up getting edamame and the okabe bowl B and both were delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the large amount of chicken on top carried on down through the bowl. The restaurant itself was quiet and homely. It felt like a true mom and pop shop. 10/10- next time I'm in Austin I'll have to visit again!

We ordered take-out for lunch and the food was exactly what we were looking for - Asian food that was light on sauces and felt healthy and light. I ordered the Obake Bowl (A) with grilled shrimp, glass noodles and rice. My colleagues both ordered the teriyaki chicken. Sides of edamame, kimchi, and pickles were also nice compliments. My favorite was the cinnamon iced tea, which was surprisingly flavorful. Overall, a great place for takeout lunch.

Value for money!!! The portions are super huge and tasty at the same time. Ambience could have been better but it felt good after sometime. My fav was the Koriente curry with half rice and half noodle. The noodle was so good and the curry had an authentic taste to it. I went for the mild spicy. The mixmix was bibimbap and the tofu add-on was well sauted and had a great taste to it. The best part was the free miso soup. It was great with seaweed!! Ended up spending $30 for two.

Has been a while. And during Covid times it was take out only. But they're back! This small eatery offers dine-in lunch that includes miso soup and salad. Entrees are always made to order by friendly (like genuinely happy to be here) staff who are accommodating and make recommendations. The tea selection (both boba and non) is great and also made to order. There is some parking in the rear by the patio. Great place for a relatively quick and easy lunch downtown.

Loved Koriente! The food was so light and tasty - yet massive portion sizes. The food was also very inexpensive for the quantity you got. I truly loved all the things we tried as it provided a real taste of the restaurant. I can't wait to come back here again!! I definitely will.

Koriente is a quirky Korean fusion restaurant with a cozy vibe. The staff were very friendly. There wasn't any indoor seating available when we initially arrived, so they offered us bug spray to borrow if we chose to sit outside, which was such a kind gesture. They also had a large fan blowing on the patio. This was a really great restaurant experience with good vibes and food, but the raspberry milk tea I got was unfortunately so terrible that I cannot in good conscience leave a five-star rating. I was so enticed by the $4 price for bubble tea, which is something I am not used to seeing these days. I saw they had a raspberry tea, which I thought was unique. I thought it was going to be like a normal fruit tea, but when I ordered it they asked me what milk I wanted in it. I chose oat milk at no additional cost, which was very nice. Unfortunately, the drink tasted horrendous. I really like boba, and I tried to keep sipping it, but the taste was so appalling. My friends tried it, and they agreed it was unpleasant. They said it tasted like cough medicine. My friend got the passionfruit tea, however, and it tasted normal. It was good. For my meal, I ordered the rice medallion sauté with chicken. I enjoyed it, and the chicken was really tasty and not dry at all. The noodles had good vegetables and a tasty sauce. The portion was large, and I took a good amount of leftovers home. They also have a complimentary vegan miso soup that you can serve yourself from a pot. It was such a fire miso soup, even with it not having any fish broth. This is an order at the counter and clean up after yourself type of restaurant. There is a small parking lot behind the restaurant that appeared to fit eight cars at its max.

Discovered this restaurant while exploring downtown on foot and was pleasantly surprised. Service was really fast and the workers here were nice. They even had miso soup on the house! Definitely a hidden gem in Austin. Everything tasted great and the portion sizes were pretty big. We ordered the pan-seared ahi tuna bowl with avocado and a spicy chicken bowl, both were great and very filling. The smoked salmon roll appetizer tasted really fresh as well. Passion fruit iced tea was a favorite too. Everything had a homemade taste, in the good way. Walked in on a Saturday afternoon and there was no wait. A great quick-ish bite if you're exploring downtown!

I got the pan seared ahi tuna! It was delicious($14)! You can choose how cooked do you want it (rare, medium, well done). I chose rare. The initial taste is a steak-like seasoning that makes the fish taste more meaty but then the aftertaste is more like sushi. I was surprised by how big the ahi tuna was! It was a decent size, which I really appreciate. The dish also comes with purple rice that is flavored with ginger pieces and a refreshing salad. They give you two different sauces, a soy sauce-based one and a spicy one. The inside decor is a mix of Korean and Gothic vibe. The service was fast and everybody was very friendly! The only thing was that there is a very loud bell that hangs over the door that leads to the outside dining. So it took me a few minutes to adjust to the noise.
