My girlfriend and I tried Koriente the other day and we were blown away by how affordable, fresh, and delicious the food was! The FREE miso soup was a tasty starter and the ice jasmine tea was great.
I had the Koriente curry with toasted garlic and my girlfriend had the obake bowl (B). The curry was outstanding, it was very flavorful and the huge chunks of potato were the best part! The obake bowl came with rice medallions (like tteokbokki) and we added chicken. It was very unique and it had a very flavorful sauce with it. Not pictured – we also split the smoked salmon roll as an app. It was great! I’m not a sushi expert, but it was really good and different.
Overall, I can’t recommend this place enough! It’s one of the cheapest meals you can find in the area, it felt pretty healthy, and the food was outstanding. To top it all off, the employees were great and very kind. If you’re looking for something a bit healthier than most restaurants or a good Asian meal, check out Koriente!

Those rice medallions are amazing
I can vouch for that. Place is still dope. daughter introduced us years ago. Friggin yum.

affordability is subjective, might want to spell out the cost 🙂
Place is and has been great. Haven’t been lately glad pics reveal looks awesome and the same.
Best miso soup omgggggg with the dumpling is chefs kiss
The spicy chicken bowl is legit
Definitely one of the best options on the East side and been around for many years
My old office was within walking distance and we’d go all the dang time. After the pandemic we moved way up north, and while there’s lots of great Asian food… I miss my Koriente.
Koriente has been my favorite since I was a kid, the Japchae is a must with spicy tofu!! Great vegan, veggie options. Always fresh, yummy, never had a bad meal. Also family owned! So hard to find that nowadays.
Loooovvveeee Koriente but they got rid of the beef after the pandemic and it still depresses me
Manager here! I see us pop up in comments here from time to time, but it’s really cool to see a post about us. Thank ya’ll so much for the 20 years of support! We’re trying to hang on, in the same spot, but it’s been a struggle.
This is a top 3 pick for me in Austin and one of my most recommended to tourists and locals

Lived off of red river and 10th for 4 years! This was my go to! I’m glad it’s still there being affordable 🙂

Homeless still have a fight club out back? We used to see all sorts of interesting goings on back there. I love Koriente, Super Tasty Vittles!
