The food we ordered was delicious. Portion size was large. In my opinion the quality, and portion size makes it a good value. The person behind the counter was very patient and answered all the questions we had. We'll definitely be back, probably just because our go to Korean.

My husband and I went here for lunch yesterday for the first time. We really loved it. The place was very clean. We were greeted very kindly. We ordered bibimbap, spicy Korean ramen and cheese donkatsu. They were huge portions. We anticipated them being small based on reviews but they absolutely were not. The spicy ramen had a beautiful beef flavor with the perfect amount of spice (this was my favorite dish). The Bibimbap was delicious, I wish it had more sauces for more flavor but it was still great and a close second. The Cheese donkatsu was probably my least favorite, it was delicious and a massive portion but the cheese made the breading oily and not very crispy but still delicious. It came with a side of rice and a cabbage salad, both delicious. We also had sides of salted seafood(I think squid but not sure), kimchi plums (delicious), pickled radish and kimchi. I don't believe the kimchi was very fermented but it was still absolutely delicious. We were served extremely quick and the lady was very kind and checked on us several times. I highly encourage you to try this place. We will absolutely be back.

The food was ok, the staff was very nice. I wanted bulgogi but was confused on how it was served, with a romaine leaf and avocado (?). So I had the spicy ramen. It wasn't spicy and the presentation was not great (the egg exploded I guess). Ok all in all.

First time eating here. I ordered to go. The menu was simple and easy to navigate. The cashier was friendly. I ordered the Beef Bulgogi dinner. The restaurant has a nice feel. I will go back and eat on-site. The food portions did not fill me up. Smaller portions and upper mid pricing for a dinner.

The kimchi rice is my favorite! I have los ordered the cheesy tteokbokki and the flavor is so good! I definitely recommend this place!

I have been to Gangnam Zip 4 or 5 times in the past year. Every single time, the food has been GREAT! I've had trouble finding really good Korean food since moving to Texas 2 years ago. Luckily, I stumbled upon this place and now it is, by far, my favorite. Not only is the food delicious, but the customer service has been excellent every time also! Everyone is super friendly and fun to chat with. A young lady named Celine even answered all my questions about Korean culture today!! She was so awesome! I will continue coming back as long as I can, and totally recommend it everyone I know (and anyone reading this review)!

This place has been closed both times we went. Once on a Wednesday at noontime and again on a Friday at 5pm. Both times all the lights were on, the sign that said open was on, but doors were locked and nobody was there. They had the TVs going and everything. Seems abandoned.

Best tonkatsu rice in town. The tonkatsu is placed on a drying rack so it won’t get cold or wet easily. Very juicy and large size. The soup is also well stewed, not fast food from box store.

Spicy jjampong 10/10, a delightful portion of layers of seafood and porky flavor. Textures with the vegetables were great.

Came here for a late lunch with my family. We got 3 entrees, 1 seafood pancake appetizer and 4 drinks. It costed us $70 already. This restaurant has no table service. When the seafood pancake came, it was almost burnt and it was the tiniest seafood pancake I ever had at a Korean restaurant. I couldn't even see or taste any seafood in it. It was sympathetic.My bibimbap was ok. Nothing to write home about. My husband's spicy pork was OK but portion was really tiny. My daughter had the seafood noodle soup. She found a piece of plastic in her food. We let our waitress know. She didn't offer an apology or refund. She looked annoyed actually. My daughter doesn't want to eat it anymore now as she's afraid she might ingest more plastic. The waitress came back and ask us for the plastic piece to bring it back to the kitchen. Nothing ever came out of it. By this time we were very displeased with both the food and inability of this establishment to do the right thing. We packed up our leftovers to bring home for our dogs. We did spend $70 on it!For the price and quality of the food, I do not recommend. I don't understand how they even get any good reviews. They clearly couldn't care less about their customers. Hmart food court has way better food at a better price point.Verdict: do yourself a favor. Ditch this place and go to hmart.
Why did they change! I've been getting my favorite foods here for a few years and suddenly the quality has changed. They took key ingredients from the fried rice like kimchi and regular meat that you can actually see, and increased the price by $1. I got the fried rice with beef to give their new version a try, and got it home and found no beef. I called and was told it was ground beef and mixed into the rice so I may not see it. I finally noticed tiny pieces of ground beef. I've been eating Korean food all my life and never seen advertised Beef fried rice made with minced ground beef. I was told if I wanted a refund I had to drive back and show them the receipt. I'd just left 5 min earlier and had to drive back only to find out they didn't even need the receipt or my debit card to issue me the refund. It took 30sec from the time I entered till the refund being issued. The entire experience was a waste of my beautiful Saturday. I will never go back again. And I'm sad I've lost a place I've loved for several years now.

Just hoping they will bring back their chicken is was best Korean fried chicken anywhere in the austin area. Their other dishes as good as well but doesn't compare to their chicken. :/
So delicious and comforting. Felt like a home cooked meal. It seems like they’ve changed their menu based off other reviews, but this was my first time here and I couldn’t be more excited about the Korean dishes. I had the bibimbap which was a great portion and came with a soup and 3 sides. I’d love to come back and try the other menu items. I’d highly recommend since there’s not too many Korean options in the Austin area and this is a solid one
