Working the lunch crowd on a recent Monday, manager Hyukki Soon seats customers and waits tables alongside his staff at Miso, a Korean and Japanese restaurant in Round Rock. Meanwhile, his father, Youngho Soon, prepares sashimi behind the sushi bar, and his mother, Okhwan Han, whips up Korean cuisine in the kitchen.
“We are truly a family business,” Soon said. “We want the customers to feel good, to have a good experience here. We think that’s really important, that they are happy with the food and the service.”
The family first opened the restaurant in July 2017 with a purely Korean menu, Soon said. Over time, they began incorporating Japanese entrees and now offer a full sushi bar as well.
Customer favorites include Korean entrees, such as beef bulgogi—stir-fried beef and vegetables served with white rice. Bestselling sushi rolls include the Miso, with shrimp tempura, tuna, salmon, avocado and cucumber; and Fire in the Hole, with spicy tuna, salmon, red snapper, cream cheese, avocado and spicy ponzu sauce.
