반찬 천국 Mom's Taste

Kudos to Mom’s Taste for keeping things OG with the banchan (and mains) that’s authentically fresh and high-quality. Having a background in Korean cuisine, I can easily handle main dishes but making banchan is just so much effort and time, which makes this place a godsend. Even better, it’s a family-run shop with very thoughtful and super generous owners ! Wish I found this place sooner!

Mom's Taste is an absolutely wonderful Korean restaurant and one of the hidden gems of Austin that I keep coming back to again and again. The food is incredibly authentic, hearty, and full of the kind of deep comforting flavors that truly remind you of home cooked Korean cuisine. The banchan selection alone is outstanding and the main dishes are always perfectly seasoned and generously portioned. The staff is warm and welcoming, creating a cozy and relaxed atmosphere that makes every meal feel like a special occasion. If you are craving genuine Korean food in Austin, Mom's Taste is without a doubt the place to go.

I've been getting catered food from Mom's Taste almost every year since 2017 for our Austin Asian American Film Festival events and staff gatherings and it's always a hit! The owners do not speak English so sometimes you do have to wait for their son Jake to be available or respond to complete an order unless you have a Korean speaker handy. However, it's very much worth it each time! We often cater their kimbap (korean rice rolls) and also have asked them to do 2 proteins and a selection of veggie sides suitable to make Bibimbap (korean rice bowls). They usually include the bibimbap sauce when we convey that is what we're going for. Also, as good as their meat is, nothing will ever beat that marinated spicy pan fried tofu they have!!!

Never had issues in the past but this recent purchase was not great, 8 days before expiration and already growing a white mold...

We love this place. Hard to find Korean place where you get vegterian sides without fish/meat. we get 5 to 6 vegetarian Korean side dishes. We get vegetarian kimchi, which is hard to find. We have been coming here for last 10+ years.
