We are from the Pacific Northwest, so we know good sushi...but GOT DAMN this is the best sushi we have ever had. Not only is the fish very high quality, but the flavor combinations are an art. The service was excellent, and the ambiance is what we were hoping. Not too dark, but also not bright. This place takes pride in their craft.

Had lunch delivered from Koriente and it won't be the last time. I thoroughly enjoyed the Obake Bowl (B) with spicy chicken, the Seaweed Salad and the Miso Shiru Soup. The portions are large for me so I'll definitely get 2 meals out of this. My only suggestion is to cook the veggies a little less. The broccoli and carrots were completely soft no bite but all dishes very very flavorful.

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.

Extremely kind staff. Great decor and whatever, but the food is absolutely incredible. GOOOO YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. Fresh high quality ingredients. Do it. Whole menu is good.

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.

Love this place! It's small and cozy, and the food in excellent! Service is wonderful as well. The beef bowl was amazing! generous portiond of meat and veggies, and I liked how you can choose more than one type of base! They had different tyles of rice and noodles. Parking is very limited, so beware of that. This place is definitely worth the trouble though

My friends and I were looking for something quick and light to eat in half an hour in the downtown area, and I'm so glad we found this place! We arrived just after they opened at 11am on a Thursday, and there were some other groups dining as well. We got the japchae with tofu ($11 + $2.50 tofu) and 2 summer rolls (total came out to be $27). The food was served in less than 10 minutes. The rolls were very refreshing and delicious when eaten with peanut sauce that we asked for. The japchae noodles were cooked to the perfect texture and came with a spicy bibimbap sauce that went well with the savory noodles. Interestingly, all the vegetables were buried at the bottom of the bowl, which I would have personally preferred the veggies on top but that's me. It still tasted great which is what matters, and the whole visit was very efficient!

The food here is delicious. I was in Austin for a conference, recently, and this restaurant was within walking distance of the convention center. I had the Pan-Seared Ahi Tuna (cooked medium at an employee's suggestion even though I normally eat it rare), miso soup, and peach ginger tea. They give great portions and the food was delicious (I didn't take a picture before I dug in, unfortunately). I was also eyeing the Lemon Pepper Papaya salad, so I decided to go back again the next day. That was my absolute favorite and I added salmon to make it more filling. The restaurant is quaint with indoor and outdoor seating in the heart of the city. The service was great and they gave me a complimentary miso soup the next day, I assume because I either came back two days in a row or because I brought new folks with me the second time. Either way, it was appreciated. If I'm ever in Austin again, I will definitely be back.

Traveling with toddler can be challenging for various reasons. One reason is the food and not having your own kitchen or food from home. After we exhausted the room service kids menu (chicken fingers, fries, fruit plate), we looked for some toddler friendly delivery options. Koriente fit the bill. Seemingly healthier Korean inspired cuisine with a number of "simple" options consisting of protein, grilled vegetables, rice and noodles. We opted for a Teriyaki Chicken and an Obake Bowl. Both were good. Tasty and flavorful without being overly greasy or saucy. Our kiddo enjoyed the purple rice and jap chae noodles. The parents welcomed some Asian inspired cuisine after a weekend of eating a lot of BBQ and Mac & Cheese. This was a relatively light and clean meal. I would order from here again.
