Jan Chi Korean Cuisine & BBQ

My husband and I have tried most of the Korean places in Austin. And after more than 10 years, I was shocked that I missed this hidden gem. To start, I took my very small and loud children to this restaurant and was cautiously hoping for the best. Needless to say my kids were not the model of politeness. But the owner was undeterred. She showed extreme patience and was overly accommodating. Fortunately the restaurant is big enough to accommodate folks that do not want to be next to the louder patrons. Also, there is a baby changing station in the restroom. Great for familys.On to the food. Rice was perfectly cooked. The banchan blew my mind away. You could taste that everything was made with care.

The food was fine. The portions were underwhelming for traditional Korean fare. I don't feel we got the value we paid for even if the food was good. The service was fine. The ambiance was plain - so much potential for such a wooded location nestled in the hills. But the sparse decor and cold finishes and the the freezing AC just made me want to get out. If you can find one open when you're hungry, there are better options.

CUTEST RESTAURANT, family owned, and the FOOD IS INCREDIBLE. I got the bulgogi bimpab & my sister got the chicken bimpab. Th bulgogi was a heavenly experience I'm not going to lie. Didn't think austin had good Korean till now! Please check it out. Ambiance is super cute as well :)

I come here so frequently I'm surprised they haven't memorized my order. I always get the dolsot spicy chicken bibimbap and every single time, it hits. The service is always fast and kind. I've come here to catch up with friends, get a solo lunch and even study for exams. I truly love coming here.

In the mood for Korean.. this place is delicious Plenty of parking, clean and cute. They even have a patio overlooking a creek.We ordered:LA Galbi- beautiful setting tender and perfect seasoning for only $25 this is good for 21/2 Chicken wing- OMG absolutely amazing the yang sauce looks spicy NOT!!! Just packed of flavor with a hint of hotness so don't be afraid mild eaters 12 pc for $19.95Service was great just a little slow on the follow up which was ok they are also short staffed. So remember to be patient & kind Will definitely be returning

Had some authentic Korean pork and tofu jigae with banchan here . Tofu and pork were cooked right and the sauce had the right spice level with veggies. The kimchi was great and refreshing! Weekdays are not that crowded here so got a table right away. Prices are right and not very high like a few other places around. Staff very friendly and ambiance was good and light . Will definitely return .

If you're looking for authentic Korean food, this is your place. Came here on a Thanksgiving eve afternoon so it's wasn't too busy. First time trying out the place and MAN, this is going on my list of repeat visits. Was really in the mood for bulgogi, so I ordered the Seoul bulgogi that comes with 4 sides, and my wife ordered the Dolsot Bulgogi bibimbobI didn't choose the sides but was pleasantly surprised at what I got. Loved the kimchi and cucumbers. One of those moments when I didn't realize how much I wanted kimchi until I got it. Each side was just enough to go with everything else. SOOOO much flavor. I felt like I was back in Korea again. Service was good, no complaints. Food came out fast, nice and hot. There was enough for my wife and I to share. Her bibimbop was really good, too. When I first saw it, kinda wished I ordered it, but I was very pleased with my order too. Both of our food and 2 drinks came out to about $50. For Austin, with food this good, that's a dealAll in all, I can't wait to try this place again and would definitely recommend

Highly recommend for the friend chicken! The meat is very tender, fully cooked ( you don't see blood) and the chicken skin is very crispy! One order is good for two people but honestly I can eat them all by myself! The sauce is not too spicy and not super sweet which makes you keep eating without feeling too heavy. I will definitely come back for more fried chicken with Korean sauce!

Food: FRIED CHICKEN WINGS [YANGNYEOM] (19.95$) - I loved this one. It is fried to perfection. Crispy, thinly battered so not too greasy or oily. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the sauce is sweet, sticky, and flavorful! Portion sizes are really good too! Big chicken!!GALBI TANG (22.95$) - It was warming and a bit sweet which was nice. The soup was savory and sweet and comforting. The beef was soft and tender too. It also came with glass noodles inside as well. SPICY PORK (18.95$) - The pork was also good. It was not spicy, so don't worry about that if you are not good with spice. The pork was tender and soft, not chewy so that was great. I loved that it was not too oily, but had the perfect amount of sauce for an infused flavorful bite. They give banchan: kimchi, fish cakes, potato, and other sides. Overall no complaints for the food!Service: Everything came out fast and hot. The staff are nice and helpful.Ambiance: Very cozy vibes. Feels authentic and homestyle. Great to go with friends or family or even as a date. Not loud.

Service is amazing right along with the food. The view out the back is wonderful, so I'd love to sit on the patio one day when I'm not working..and when it cools down.
