I think its somewhat safe to assume that a lot of Austinites are quickly becoming huge food snobs. With all of the amazing restaurants that have landed in our little city in the last decade, who can blame us?  Unless you’re stubborn or just have some kind of blind loyalty to the old bar and grill routine, you probably wouldn’t be caught dead in one of those peanut shell on-the-floor joints. Yes, food snobbery is alive and well in Austin, but it’s not only limited to the cuisine itself. The truth is location is one most important factors in our decision on where to dine these days.

Some of us proud food snobs might not pay attention to anything north of Hwy-183 or The Domain area, but believe it or not, the Cedar Park area has actually stepped up it’s food game in recent years, making a respectable stake in our culinary desideratum. Jenna’s Asian Kitchen dispels the old stigma of a typical Asian buffet or standard neighborhood Chinese pit-stop. Instead it’s the upscale Korean and Pan-Asian cuisine North Austin has been desperately waiting for.

The remodeled restaurant was formerly home to a now closed Chinese buffet.  The interior construction was designed by the owners leaving no stale reminisce of it’s previous occupier. The new digs features a traditional yet hip, zen-like, comforting feeling throughout. The main dining room has traditional seating while the back dining area has communal seating complete with a tasteful backdrop depicting a mural of a Korean mugnghwa flower, beautifully displayed on the wall.
