Where to Eat in Austin

The food conversation in Austin is one that can never reach a definitive conclusion. It has something to do with the welcoming smiles of the staff as they usher in the patron and the diverse options available to you. While the high standards of fine dining might have put Austin on the national map, the local eateries and restaurants haven’t slacked off in any way, offering anything and everything from traditional cuisines to the all American basics.

So, having scoured the city’s restaurants, eateries, and food joints these are and should be your next stop next time you are in Austin, Texas.

Seoulju Korean Kitchen and Bar

You might have to traverse to North Lamar to have this taste of Korean food, but your troubles and effort would be worth it once you get a taste of their crisp and marinated Korean fried chicken. The boisterous owners, John Lee and Sang Mi Kang (who are both chefs) keep the ambiance fresh and light with their casual and friendly nature.

What is to die for are the traditional dishes offered. The Korean hot pots come loaded with spices that leave a savory taste on your lips. If you are too tired to leave the house, you can place your order over the phone or use third-party service apps.
