Shilla also offers sushi that, while not exactly top-tier, is fresh and better than we expected. While the sushi is good, bona fide sushi snobs might be better served sticking to one of Austin's better-known sushi joints like Uchi or Mushashino.
Shilla boasts a brisk lunch service. The pork bulgogi in particular is crave-worthy and the bento box lunches are a great value. It's a smidge more authentic than it's snazzier-outfitted and more fusion-oriented competitor Ka-prow, with banchan and Korean dishes on par with the tasty Korea House. We'll be back for the Bi Bam Bop, which we were told is a don't-miss.
