Korea Garden

It was good, but nothing worth or jaw dropping to say this was the best Korean food I’ve had. The bulgogi dish was good and the tteobokki was chewy, but I feel like I’ve had places with more flavors and side dishes variety. Service was a little spotty as we always had to flag someone down to get help. The decor was cute though, with it being like a historical site (albeit, not a huge fan of the dim lighting)

Can't believe we didn't try this place sooner! I'd have to say, the yook-hae is delicious and definitely competes with Seoul Garden right across the street. The chilled Naeng-Myeon noodles were so flavorful and refreshing. All of the sides were great and a good balance in flavors to everything we ordered. Only bad thing is parking because it's so busy! Otherwise would definitely recommend.

We absolutely LOVED the Korea Garden and will absolutely return there! Highly recommend for authentic Korean foods!! Service was excellent, and our server had a robot to help deliver food to our table! O really wish I had taken a picture of it!! Thank you all for an exceptional experience and amazing foor!!

Food was amazing! Great customer service and everything including the bathrooms were very clean.

Great good and great service! Went here for dinner. Did not opt for a BBQ table. The wait time was miminal. Servers are great, very friendly and helpful. The menu is elaborate. We were two people and so we got the Buldak Dol Sot - loved it! The stir fired shrimp in garlic sauce was good too. I was a fan of marinated eggs - a little expensive though - one egg for $5! Overall it was a great experience. Definitely going back to try other dishes!

The food and sides were tasty and authentic. The value was unbelievable. Service was great. Parking was easy

Absolutely wonderful food! Their JapChae is delicious and the staff is very attentive and polite! The vibe is also immaculate, it's somehow both elevated and cozy.

OK this is the best Korean restaurant I have had ever. Service, food and the restaurant itself are all top notch! The seafood pancake was out of this world! Definitely a must try for anyone wanting an authentic korean experience!

Great spot for KBBQ in HTX! I had a lot of people with me and the restaurant gave us our own secluded room and were very accommodating to the people who weren't familiar with kbbq. We also celebrated a birthday and they kept the cake nice and cold for us and lit the candles! Would def come back- has everything kbbq should have

Super yummy food for the quality and price served Amazing staff friendly people Casual restaurant clean vibes with a hint of Korean restaurant decor style

This is one of the consistent Korean bbq joints on long point. Their Korean bbq is where it's at. Their meats are top quality. We got the beef combo (bnb?) comes with galbi, la galbi, and beef bulbolgi, we also got the thick cut pork belly and the calamari steak. We added on the corn cheese and a pork kimchi tofu soup. The beef combo is amazing, each cut of beef is superb and flavorful. It melts in your mouth. The thick cut pork belly is great. We cook that until it's crispy! The calamari was ok, I wouldn't get it again though. The tofu soup is solid but nothing special. The corn cheese was a hit with my kids. The service here is very attentive and they have those cute little robots help carry out the food. The side dishes are ok, they have the thick cut fish cakes here.

A fave spot for Korean food in the area. I love coming here either for their lunch/dinner menu or kbbq. Plenty of parking spaces in a small plaza off of Long Point. Service is quick and friendly. We always get seated right away. Some of my favorite items are the soft tofu stew with seafood, bossam, and the LA Galbi. I always get the tofu stew every time I'm here. It's my comfort food and pair with the LA galbi makes a great combo. The large bossam could feed 4-6 people. We can never finish it especially when you're also eating all the sides and other dishes. I have also tried kbbq here with a group. We were seated in a private room. You can order off of their combo menu. I mostly prefer just ordering off of their normal menu versus doing the kbbq.

Service was excellent. Food was fresh & very tasty. Server explained cooking procedures and checked back frequently. Side dishes were delicious & grilling our own food was a fun experience & resulted in hot food

We recently met up with some friends here for some KBBQ, was a great experience! Food: 5/5 the portions are generous, albeit a tad bit on the expensive side (not AYCE). The seafood pancake was amazing, and the seafood noodles were surprisingly good too. BBQ meats were fresh and tasty Service: 5/5 everything came out quick and our servers were friendly. My son loved seeing the robot servers go back and forth! Ambiance: 5/5 they have a little waterfall area on the inside that my son loved to play with. This seems like a great spot for families to take their kids, and we were surprised that the smoke didn't bother our little one so I guess they have great ventilation! Overall a great dinner, would come back!

I thought BBQ Garden had the best kimchi pancakes but this place takes the trophy for best kimchi pancake. Don't come here without getting it. Speaking of good food, their japchae is also the best. It's better than mine!!!! It came with so much beef and veggies but the noodles were seasoned well. I could just go there to order these two dishes and have their robot waiter deliver it to me. The robot plays 80s music too! Service was attentive. Our waiter and the manager kept tabs on us and made sure we had what we needed. Though it's weird there is no tableside doorbell... The restaurant is cozy. They have a decent lunch menu. If you get their large how sake, be prepared to share with 4 people. It's large and in charge. Bbq was simply ok. Banchan is good. Next time, I'll stick to their hot dishes!

After the Texans' game, my wife and I went to Korea Garden for a quick dinner. This is one of the oldest Korean restaurants in Houston (it's been here 40 years), and it's still here for a reason! We ordered the spicy marinated pork (one of my favorite Korean dishes) and the marinated short rib (again, one of my favorites!), and let the kitchen staff cook it rather than do it ourselves at the table. It was wonderful! The atmosphere here, at least while we were there, was quiet and cozy - perfect for a romantic dinner! I love Korean food, and this place is on my short list of best Korean restaurants in Houston!

Came here for the first time over the weekend and it is safe to say that it is one of my new favorite spots! Even on a Saturday night, we were seated immediately and the service was quick and friendly throughout the meal. The staff even helped us park our car when we couldn't find a spot in the limited parking lot. We ordered the Kimchi Jjigae and the Bul Dak Dol Sot. Both of the dishes were so so delicious. The Kimchi Jjigae was hot, flavorful, and comforting. It paired well with the accompanying rice, too. The Dol Sot was amazing as well--just a great mixture of vegetables, rice, and spicy chicken. The rice was crispy along the bottom and sides of the hot bowl, which added some great texture to the meal. The food came with many side dishes and even a small free dessert (a sort of sweet rice slushie--I'm not sure of the official name) which was all delicious, too. The cherry on top of the cake was that it was not too expensive either! Pre-tax and tip, we paid $30. Given the quality and quantity of the food, it was a steal! Totally recommend stopping by Korea Garden Restaurant.

When you walk into this place, you automatically feel like you're in Korea the architecture the art the feeling the vibe is just amazing, but what's even better is the food. Food was amazing. Fresh veggies and delicious marinated meats. This will be a place I'll be visiting quite often.

I love this place, this has been my go to place for Korean bbq since the late 80s. Unfortunately, my last visit here wasn't the same. Yes, the food here is still so freaking good, I love the kalbi & squid. The sides are as delicious as they were years ago but this place has changed as they've gotten a bit stingy with the sides (you have to order a certain amount of protein to get more than 2 servings of the sides) & one of our last visits there, the waiter was exremely rude & impatient. It seems like they have had really bad customers that over-demanded on things so they knee jerked with nickel & diming you. Even with all that said, I still love this place but not for dinner anymore. When I get a hankering for K-bbq, I'll visit during lunch & get the bibimbap. Let the kitchen cook the meat & I get a happy bowl of all of my favorites.

I had a delightful Korean meal! Gyeranjjim (Korean steamed eggs) is a comforting dish known for its smooth and custardy texture. Unlimited Banchan adds variety and flavor to the meal, while Bulgogi Bibimbap with marinated beef sirloin and mixed vegetables on warm rice is a classic and nutritious choice. Adding a raw egg can enhance the richness and taste of the dish. Did you enjoy the flavors and textures of these dishes? Service is on point. Classic Korean ambiance.

They're great people. They've been good to my grandparents and for that I'm thankful. The food is good as well (bulgogi is a favorite of ours and the hamuel pajeon is phenomenal) They offer many side dishes and know how to make great food here. Cheers!

Ordered the beef soon tofu and side of kimchi last night, since I needed some nice soup to treat this cold I got going right now. The soup was actually fire. Had too much tofu for my taste but no big deal. The flavor was amazing. It came with 4 sides plus a side of rice. The portion size was a little on the small side but not the end of the world really. Prices are pretty good too. Delivery was slow but that's not their fault at all. Still arrived tasting great. The kimchi from this spot is fire too. I will definitely order again.

Best Korean food in Houston! The quality is just the best we've seen around here and is worth the price. From the banchan to the barbecue, everything was top-notch. Definitely reminded me of the best Korean food I've eaten in Seoul. The robot server was also a cool experience. I definitely recommend going here and I can't wait to be back.

Since I ordered Uber Eats from here, I will be unable to speak on behalf of what service or ambiance here is like. Some pretty good Korean food I had from here! Not the best I've ever had, but decent enough to satisfy my cravings for Korean food. The bonchon provided was quite good and very typical for what you'd expect at a Korean restaurant. The bulgogi was very delicious, it tasted tender and juicy, which is something not all Korean restaurants are able to do. The seafood pancake was also quite good too. One star is taken off because I can't believe they charge $28 USD for bulgogi. That is a bit too much, in my opinion. I have been to Korean restaurants that charge less for more. Other than that, I'd order from here again.

The the food was good but the service was terrible. Waited 10min for my bowl of steam rice to come out! They never came by to refill my drink even once even though I left it by the edge of the table for them to see. The staff came by about 25min after we got our food just to ask how's everything... customer service is not good since I got my rice late and my waiter/waitress still haven't refill my water! They need to train their staff better.

HOUSTON, TX / KOREAN / 11-27-22 / LUNCH +The banchan side dishes were well-made and more on the traditional side. +The fish roe soup was pretty good. +The kids enjoyed the marinated galbi. -Customer service was non-existent, as this is typical at Korean restaurants. You'll be lucky to get a water refill. -The decor was dated, greasy, and dusty.

Had not had Korean food in a long time and some friends who knew the owners invited us. It's obvious that this place has been around a long time. Sketchy area and parking lot. The restaurant itself was very much the draw to this small old shopping area. The place itself was dated, but maintained well. We opted for the cook it ourselves at the table option. The grill seemed to be not staying on and the server had to come and restart several times. I really miss having Korean food and the food and service was very good. Bulgogi, kalbi, chop chae were all on point.....tough to go wrong with those unless the meat is tough, which it was not. The assorted kimchi was my favorite. Very fresh and flavorful. We ordered a second wave so I could nosh on more! Long drive for us to get here, but would definitely go back......our dinner companions made this meal special

Authentic Korean restaurant in the area! I like the fact that they can make foods in vegetarian style but it seems a bit flavor less if you do so, perhaps it needs more mushroom seasonings etc. but overall we enjoyed it and had a good meal! For the special occasion, this place is awesome! I like the interior vibes as well. Good service! :) Come visit and cheers

I wanted to give this place 3.5 stars but I ended up rounding down. I ordered a small sake, cheese corn, kimchi pancake and the lunch spicy pork bulgogi. Now when I say, spicy pork bulgogi is one of my most favorite foods in the world. This spicy pork bulgogi was slightly underwhelming. The meat was dry and not what I would call spicy. It had ok flavor. The kimchi pancake was on point and the cheese corn was just ok. They cooked it on foil so much of the cheese was stuck and burnt to the bottom. The soup that comes with the lunch is superior to miso soup that comes with sushi. Overall an ok experience. I might stop by there in the future.

Fun experience to do with a large group, reserve a room in the back. Not my favorite kbbq experience. I really thought the ban Chan was lacking sadly and thought the meats were just okay. The scallion pan cake and fried rice were good. Fun to get a big round of soju going and have a good time. The experience/activity is funner than the food itself sadly.

We've been going to a Korean bbq restaurant right across from this establishment and we love it but thought it was time to try somewhere new. Unfortunately not impressed and we'll be going back to our original spot. Likes: Staff was friendly and helpful. The set up of restaurant felt authentic and was pleasing. Good choices of food, and we liked the combos of meats. Dislikes: Parking was awful and we went on off dinner hours. Meat is over marinated with sugar and burns grill very quickly. Grills are very hot and vents don't seem to do much to help. Meat quality was not great, hard to tear apart and chew. Overall experience was ok, we ate and enjoyed trying a new place but it wasn't good enough to win us over. Going back to our oldie but goodie.

Very good Korean food. Service was great too. The quality was ok for the Korean galbi--but prices were lower than other restaurants especially w all the beef prices going up. It was tasty and the banchan and egg gyeran-jim was a great side. We also tried the spicy rice cakes, tteokboki which was spot on. Finished w a complimentary sweet rice drink called Shikye that was yummy.

Food was great. Service was friendly and prompt. Ambience is traditional Korean restaurant. Can't wait to come back!

Went here for dinner tonight. I should preface this review with the fact that our family moved to Houston about a year ago after having lived in Los Angeles for a long time. Overall, as can be expected, the Korean food scene in Houston doesn't compare to the Koreatown in LA (I'd venture to guess not many other cities can match LA in this regard). My rating for this restaurant is in comparison to other Korean restaurants I have tried in Houston, not compared to anything in LA (in LA, I would have given this restaurant 2 stars). 3 stars is the perfect rating. Everything was "okay." Nothing great, nothing bad. The decor is a bit dated but not uncommon for older Korean bbq restaurants. We had: Chadol-Baek Yi (non-marinated brisket): 3/5 - Meat was not a tender as it could have been and a bit bland. Sam-Gyup Sal (non-marinated pork belly): 4/5 - The best meat of the night. The flavor of the meat was very good, just needed a bit of salt to season. Galbi (marinated boneless short rib): 3/5 - This is the most traditional Korean bbq meat. Although the description said boneless, we were expecting the more traditional big-cut of the short rib one would find at ala-carte Korean BBQ places. This one was the short rib already cut into small slices. In other Korean restaurants (or Korean markets for this matter), the smaller cut slices are considered an inferior (i.e. cheaper) cut. Flavor was pretty traditional but a bit sweet for my taste. Steamed Egg: 3/5 - Pretty good and standard, but again needed a bit of salt. For $10, this is quite expensive vs. what we're used to seeing at other places. Go-Chu Jahng Tofu Jji-Gae (Red chili paste stew with tofu, beef and vegetable: 4/5 - This stew was very good, but warning, it is on the spicy side, even coming from someone who enjoys spicy food. The banchan (side dishes) were pretty standard and I would rate 3/5. The service was good. We've now been to many Korean restaurants in Houston. So far, our highest recommendation would be Bori, which has a great decor and much better food (but also quite a bit more expensive than this restaurant). In the same price range, we prefer BBQ Garden, which has better food, an actual charcoal grill, but the interior is a bit inferior to Korea Garden.

I wasn't familiar with this dinner experience, but the staff was Super helpful explaining the food, the portions, the process. Went with a group and Loved it. A lot of food and we weren't able to eat it all! I Would definitely come back.

This food joint has become one of our favs and we have been gravitating towards this restaurant the most when taking friends and family! The food is immaculate and full of flavors! The waiting staff is amazing and very friendly and accommodating to our needs. We definitely recommend this place, all their food items are good!

I was truly dissatisfied with our dinner. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE KOREAN BBQ. The menu was very detailed in the selection for meats. When our three picks came to the table, my first question was "are these marinated? The menu was specific and read non-marinated..". We ordered Galbi, Bulgogi, and Pork Belly which all came marinated. After waving down our waiter, I asked what meats are not marinated and he proceeded to tell me only two out of the entire meat section do not come marinated. One of the non-marinated meats was the pork belly.. Well why did our pork belly come out marinated. All of the meats were SWEET! I was with someone whom never had Korean BBQ and at that, this was their first time so as promised I will be taking them to my FAVORITE KOREAN BBQ spot. Much respect to the waiters and service, but come on, the meats are important!

It's a good soup place And service is good The atmosphere would not be known Since I order the take out The galbi soup is wonderful

Delicious korean restaurant in Texas. I got bibimbap which was rice with spicy gochujang sauce and a variety of vegetables. The meat was also delicious and tasty.

My friend recommended this place and she wasn't wrong, great Korean bbq. Pros: * HUGE parking lot * sweet and attentive staff * loved the wooden stalls, looked like i was transported to another country. * Korean bbq comes with soup, salad, meats and banchan. Cons: * pricier than i thought. * Plum Soju came highly recommended, so very sweet. * While I appreciate the soup and salad with bbq, i would rather have more meat. * Appetizer & Korean bbq portions were small. Overall, great food. Just pricier than I thought.

I liked the ambiance here, but I don't think I would come back for the food. Not bad, but not amazing. The meat quality wasn't too memorable for me. I have a sweeter palette and love radish, so I was happy with their bonchon, though! Just wish I was able to make radish wraps :') Would order their japchae again.

We have been going for 10 years- look at how many check-ins we have. We joke with the staff because we are here almost every Sunday and order one bulgogi and one spicy pork to cook at the table. The only question is Soju, Sake, iced or hot tea. The food here is so fresh and of the highest quality. We have tried the others around the area and further away. This is our favorite. The refilled delicious banchan and for me the bulgogi is impressive. I love it with hot sake- yes I know Japanese or soju- they have the flavors. We have had the sol dat bi bim bap which is fantastic. The fried dumpling and that again is really good. Let's see- the starter salad has the most amazing dressing, the spicy red sauce to go with your meal is really good. I can't say anything bad about this place- it is THE best in our opinion.

My daughter loves this place. It's for special occasions since it can get expensive. It's worth it though. Today was her 18th birthday and we went with two of her friends. They have a new cute kitty ROBOT that brings food to your table. so much fun! Our favorites are the Japchae and Bulgogi. Yum!

I've been going here for over 10 years and this place still never disappoints! Today I visited for the first time in a long time. I'm really happy to see they're doing well and staying busier than all the times I've visited. There was actually a wait for once! Regardless of the wait, they sat us down within 15 mins. We got there at 9:10 and last call is 9:50. We didn't get seated until 9:30 but they didn't rush us, nor were they rude. They served us well and were extremely nice. Got us everything promptly, even made a few suggestions when ordering, and still gave us a nice experience! I love this place and glad it has not changed one bit over the past 10 years even with the impact of the pandemic! I hope they always they that way!

1. Service - I have mix feelings about their service. We have went on multiple occasions, and our most recent visit was after the Pandemic. Staff seems to be new, and a bit overwhelmed. They're all over the place. You can tell that they're trying to accommodate everyone, and perhaps the experience over time will improve. Our table was not assigned to one person, but to 4 different waiters. Perhaps that could be key in fixing the problem. We had to keep calling them to remind them of our request. One waiter in particular kept forgetting. In the past though, in smaller group settings, they were able to attend to us better. When we went recently, it was a Friday night at peak hours, and perhaps the reason for the lack of service. I'll still give them a star for the effort. I do hope they will improve on this to be top notch as they once were. 2. Price - a bit more expensive then I had anticipated. There are other locations around Korea town that will serve you a lot more food for the same price. BBQ can cost $20/plate up to $120 for 6 various plates. 3. Ambiance - This place is pretty with traditional decor. This is one reason why I love coming here. 4. Food - my favorite is CHADOL BAEK YI (non marinated beef brisket) and GALBI (marinated boneless short ribs). Along with your BBQ, it's accompanied with many side dishes such as marinated bean sprouts, kim chi, potatoes, a bowl of white rice, spicy cucumbers, and other side dishes that I can't remember. At the end of the meal, they serve you Sikhye (Korean sweet rice drink). That's a complementary drink served at the end for most Korean BBQ joints. It's good! 5. Cleanliness - menus and tables are sticky, floors are greasy, restroom floors are wet, and restrooms are not well maintained . Thinking about all I wrote so far, I am sad to inform you that I no longer recommend this place for big groups. I'm not sure if management has change. There are a lot of room for improvement. For this reason, I'm not so sure I will be back anytime soon.

Good food! My favorite was the bulgogi. I wish the waitress explained what each side dish was and the type of sauce we had. She just came and brought everything and left. Service was average but the BBQ was good.

Enjoyed this restaurant with great food and hospitable service. Went for Sunday lunch and ate 2 of my favorites - tofu soup with beef, and japchae. Both were delicious - the soup was flavorful without being too spicy to share with my kiddo, and the beef japchae was savory with a good portion to share. The banchan was also tasty and added a variety of textures and flavors to the meal - some of the apps included seasoned soybean sprouts, pickled cucumbers, kimchi (of course!), radish kimchi. Think I will add the galbi if I came with a larger group - the sizzling skillets around us looked delicious.

Came in here on a busy weekend and we were still able to get seated to our surprise. The decor and atmosphere is very impressive. You and your clique can definitely be immerse in your own world as they have individual booth like seating. The a la carte pricing for the meats are very reasonable along with the combo pricing. The meats accompanied with our combo selection are definitely higher quality meats than AYCE places and adequately marinated. The vents are quite strong so you won't leave smelling like the meal you just cooked. My only gripe with the meal that day was the soggy seafood pancake. It definitely needed a few more minutes of cooking. The banchan is quite simplistic compared to other Korean BBQ joints but they are sufficient enough and they were regularly refilled without asking to our surprise. Overall a decent experience and will be back!

Love me summm Korean food!! Korean garden restaurant definitely hit home with the glass noodles and bulgogi! The bulgogi was marinated very well and the glass noodles were literally the best I've had EVER (you have to get this, no EXCUSES). The bibimbap bowl was quite alright in my opinion, but the atmosphere here was definitely homey and the staff was heartwarming! IG: @piggieats_

My family and I decided to pick this Korean restaurant because we craved authentic Korean cuisine. The service was, for the most part, incredible. The host, originally, did not give us a big table and after we insisted upon it, he was reluctant but obliged. On the other hand, our waitress was engaging and kind to us. She was attentive and gave us quick, efficient service. The environment felt quite authentic to Korean culture. The tables and seats had little to no crumbs at all. We ordered the steamed dumplings, Bossam, and Kimchi Jjigae. The dumplings were still steaming by the time it arrived to our table. The wrapper was chewy and accompanied the taste of the juicy pork filling. The Kimchi Jjigae left me with a warm stomach on a cold day. It was just the right amount of sour from the kimchi and the tofu topped it off. The pork was tender and soaked in the delicious, spicy soup broth. My personal favorite, the Bossam, was absolutely delicious. The pork was tender and, accompanied by the squid, kimchi, and freshly cut garlic, made the most perfect bite imaginable. I would absolutely recommend this place if you are looking for authentic and delicious Korean food! It hits all of the marks - food quality, service, and cleanliness.

We love Korea Garden. We typically drive one hour to visit this restaurant. The food is amazing. When they are very busy, food/service can be a little daunting, however, they are always friendly and helpful. We have our favorites for sure and love to come with people unfamiliar with the cuisine and set up. Everyone is always impressed. I definitely recommend cooking your own meat if you have the time to indulge in the full experience. I hope you try this restaurant if you are in the area, and if you are not, take your time getting there because it is definitely worth it.

The food was good, the service was not. We ordered the BnB combo, which came with in-bone galbi, boneless galbi, and beef bulgogi. We also ordered the Jahp-Chae (stir fried noodles), and the Sam Gyup Sal (non marinated pork belly). Everything was delicious! Everyone really enjoyed the marinade on the meats as well as the side dishes. Anytime we would need anything, we would have to flag down our server and ask several times before they brought what us we needed. Getting the tab alone took 30 mins. Just felt like the servers weren't very attentive.

The banchans are so flavorful and well prepared. My favorite is the sweet and spicy buttery textured potato banchan. The rice is made perfectly as well. It's so fun cooking bbq meats and the staff is very attentive, one of the servers offered to mix the yukhoe ( very light and refreshing served cold. I love how crisp the naturally sweet pear is). It was packed when I arrived so I waited by the river table. It was so cute and intriguing to look at. I love the sound of water and the atmosphere is cozy. I'm a nature girlie so the wait was pleasant and only took about 15 minutes. I can't wait to travel out to Houston again. I actually found this place via instagram and I'm so glad I saved it. Thank you!!

This was a great spot to come for a group dinner. We shared the fried dumplings, bulgogi dol sot, japchae, and budae jjigae. Everything was tasty and fresh. The service was good and I would come again. The restaurant was decorated nicely and I like the privacy of the booths that were very spacious.

My family ate there for my sons birthday today. I can't express how good the food, customer service and ambiance. We will definitely be here again.

This place is my favorite Korean BBQ place to go to. It isn't mainstream. The meat is deliciously marinated and I have had this at the restaurant and to go and it is the same quality and freshness. I love their bibim guksu as well, the marinade is so perfectly balanced of sweet and spicy. Their sides for the Korean bbq, are very delicious and also fresh.

I have been going here since I was super little. Came back after moving. Hasn't changed. Same great people working. Ask for Mrs les
