In Short
A bonsai tree welcomes diners into spacious, elegant and softly lit surroundings. Chinese and Korean artwork adds to a peaceful ambience. A cozy tearoom at the restaurant's rear enables diners to enjoy after-meal drinks or dessert in a more intimate setting. Rich, garlic-sautéed mussels are topped with a spicy chili. Salmon bulgogi (Korean barbecue) is a flaky, char-grilled fillet. The 10-piece Koreana roll combines broiled freshwater eel, tuna, salmon, cucumber and avocado wrapped in seaweed.

Note to diners - this is one of my FAVORITE restaurants in Austin, but today, 3/30/2009, Koreanas suffered from a huge fire.

Wow- I was about to give it a glowing review- then I read the negative review regarding service. Let me just say that if you are trying to split tickets and your total bill during happy hour is $9 and you want to charge that, you should probably stay home. I have been about 3 times in the last month twice for lunch and once last night for an early dinner. I have only tried the sushi fare, but it has been exceptional, in both quality and portion. Went for lunch first time Lunch menu roll specials where you get a roll and 4 pieces of Sushi. The Sushi was excellent in both flavor and portion, especially compared to some of the fish slivers I have gotten at other more well known Sushi establishments in town. We split a dessert., tempura cheesecake. It was ridiculously good, Two weeks later we had the same excellent results at lunch. Last night I took my wife in, and she's not too experienced with sushi but upon walking in immediately liked the soothing atmosphere. We arrived about 6 and the happy hour was still going and they had a nice variety of $5 sushi rolls on the happy hour menu. They also had beer and wine $1 off, I don't think they serve mixed drinks, but we had two beers each. We ordered three happy hour rolls and the New York Roll. The happy hour rolls were a definite bargain, the New York Roll was to die for. One of the best rolls I have ever had, anywhere! To our surprise we found out that we also got 20% off the full sized roll because it was a Monday (good to remember!) . My wife commented it was the best meal she had in a long time... I thought $44. She regularly eats at Ruth's Chris, Flemmings, III Forks for work, so that was a high complement, though in fairness in a group setting, the quality is often lesser than eating on your own. Go to happy hour to try it out, the price is certainly more than reasonable for the quality. We plan on making it part of our regular dining rotation, and will probably be back again next week.

Koreana is the best sushi restaurant I've ever tried. Fiesta, Longhorn and Krunchy Kream rolls are fantastic. The fish is so fresh. Beside the food, the interior is gorgeous and romantic. We also enjoy their drink specials which they have every night. You'll feel like royalty after the royal treatment you get from the personel there.
