I can't imagine how Oseyo has even one bad review. I'm kicking myself for not trying it sooner. We decided to give it a go on a Thursday evening. Did I mention it's all night Happy Hour on Thursdays with both food and alcohol discounted? They have a lovely patio with ample private parking and excellent and friendly service. The food was so delicious that we ended up asking for a menu to order more. We had things both on and off the HH menu and it came out to about $55/person and on top of that every single item we had was so super tasty. I can't wait to return! Word to the wise if it's your first time, go on a Thursday, order all the things and you'll most certainly be returning in the near future.
Visited for lunch in person! I still love Bree the Knowledgeable and Welcoming Server! It was pretty empty at lunchtime so food was fast and hot! [Lots of food pick ups though.]
This is such a cute modern Korean restaurant. I absolutely love their spicy tofu pork belly soup with white rice! It hits in these cold months in Austin. The flavor was so rich and it warmed my soul! My friend got the katsu sandwich and the meat was very juicy! I went for brunch and I will definitely be returning for dinner soon!! I would say this is more modern Korean than authentic Korean but still good.
I went to Oseyo many years ago and had a great meal. I just could never find myself in the area again for dinner. However, they're open for lunch now! A coworker and I popped in for a weekday lunch this past Tuesday. Our server was very friendly and answered all of our questions. We started off with the steamed dumplings. They're super cute and delicious. I had the Kimchi Jjigae (kimchi stew). It was a great sized portion and was really flavorful. My coworker had the Brisket and Shrimp Bokkeumbap (fried rice). He said it was really good and ended up eating every bite of it. Overall, the meal was great and I'm happy to have a Korean restaurant so near to my office.
It was ok as a tex-asian Korean meal but it wasn't as good as other Korean food we've had. I had the kimchi fried rice and it was extra greasy. The side dishes were ok but the kimchi needed a little more time to ferment. The restaurant was pretty nicely done so maybe fit for a date night but it was a bit pricey for the quality of food. Then again, everything in Austin was expensive. Service was attentive so that was a plus!
The jjajangmyeon here is spectacular (noodles in brown pork sauce), and the galbi is next level high quality. The fried chicken was a hit as well Koreans and non-Koreans will love everything about this place.
A very nice restaurant with great ambiance and lighting, perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. I was in a group of 5 and we sat outside, it was very peaceful and spacious. They have a very small parking For appetizers ordered the Jjin mandu (steamed meat dumplings), Gun mandu (fried vegetable dumplings) and Tong ddak (korean fried chicken. The dumplings came with 5 each and the chicken was 4 drumsticks. For mains, we ordered the dolsot bibimbap, soondubu jiggae, and kimchi bokkeumbap (fried rice). Jiin mandu: 3.5/5 They had very nice flavor with hot peppers on top to give it a kick Gun mandu: 4/5 I personally liked the fried dumplings better than the steamed, it comes with a sauce that pairs well Tong ddak: 4/5 Very nice sweet and sour flavor, a bit too much breading Soondubu 3/5 Personally didn't really like the taste of the broth it was a bit more sour than the other tofu stews i've tried Kimchi fried rice 4.5/5 Really enjoyed this dish the pork belly was very tender and the runny egg goes perfectly with the kimchi rice There were some parking spots in front of the restaurant, but if it's during dinner time you probably have to find street parking.
Can't wait to stop by again!! My girlfriend and I came for lunch on Friday so parking was easy and being seated was quick. Not sure if this is an every day thing but it worked out well for us! As soon as you walk in you'll notice the upscale decor and aesthetic. Very welcoming and dim lighting to make for an intimate dining experience. Waiter was quiet but friendly and attentive. Now for the good part, the food. We started with an order for the Jjin Mandu and man those were good. Very flavorful and not too hot so you can eat right away. My girlfriend got the kimchi jjigae and I ordered the kimchi fried rice. Both dishes were great! The kimchi friend was was a solid 3.5/5, not the best I've had around ATX but it got the job done. The Kimchi jjigae was extremely delicious, only thing I would change in the dish is the size the kimchi is cut to. The pieces were bigger than I'd have liked them to be but the dish was extremely flavorful. I would order the kimchi jjigae myself if I came back since it was the better dish of the two. Overall, good spot and I'd give it a solid 4/5. I would come back if it's convenient with my plans around the day.
