Korean Garden

I went for lunch. I had been driving past it for several months and finally made the time to stop in. Friendly people and WoW on the food. I had the fried dumplings for an appetizer, the short ribs, and the fancy Ramon plus the side dishes and rice. Tasty!! Large portions, i could not finish it all. Excellent presentation! Can't wait to try their sister restaurant KO Chicken!!

I went to this Korean Garden location to get dinner since it’s a place we like to get their Bulgogi beef whenever we are in springs. This time I was very disappointed with their meat. The meet as you can see in the picture is super dry. There was no sauce but just some carrots, onions and sesame seeds. I also asked for medium spicy and it’s plain. No taste at all. I am so disappointed to spend money on something that I don’t enjoy.wont be going to this location again

Went into this restaurant for the first time to pick up some dinner for myself and was told to try the Bulgogi so I ordered it from the lady at the cash register and she was very friendly. Along with ordering the bulgogi I also ordered an order of their pot stickers as well it wasn’t busy at all and I waited for my food to be done which took about 10 minutes. Took the food home and enjoyed both of the things I had ordered. It was my first time trying bulgogi and it was great. Will definitely go back they had a spicy bulgogi I would like to try next.

Best Korean food at the best price. There's other places in town that cost more and the food doesn't even compare. We've never had a bad experience here. Whether it's dine-in or carry-out, it's always great. Also, the kids portions don't skimp! My 7 year old son is often still hungry after a kids meal, and KG's kids bulgogi always fills him. I can't even begin to speak on how important that is for us. 😂

Went for lunch today. Met the new owner and had a wonderful meal with wonderful service. Great portion sizes for the cost. My new favorite local restaurant.

Just a heads-up for future customers: This restaurant automatically adds a 20% gratuity for parties of 6 or more — and while it is mentioned at the very bottom of the menu, the staff doesn’t point it out at any time. I understand that more restaurants are starting to include service charges, but it would be much better if servers verbally informed guests when seated or when handing the check. Otherwise, many people might unknowingly leave an extra tip on top of the already-added 20%, which is exactly what almost happened to us.It’s one thing to tip for good service, but forcing a 20% service fee when there’s no service at all? That’s just dishonest. If you’re planning to eat here with a group, be careful — they sneak it into the fine print at the bottom of the menu. Totally disappointing experience. So, check your bill carefully — and maybe take a look at the fine print on the menu before you order.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was quick and friendly. I recommend the spicy pork belly!

Update August 2023: Still awesome and one of my favorite places for comfort food 🥰 Update July 2022: The food and service remain exceptional. Still my favorite Korean place in Colorado. This place is top-notch! The food was absolutely delicious, the service very friendly and at a fair price for the portions and sides. I went with the spicy chicken which came with rice and the assortment of sides. I ate practically everything, which speaks to the wonderful flavors. It was the highlight of my day! I highly recommend and hope you have a similar or better experience than I.

My favorite Korean Restaurant in Colorado Springs. We have tried them all and this is the best. Staff and owners are friendly and welcoming. You can count on the quality. I lived in Korea for a couple years and this place is authentic. Love it.

The dine in service was horrendous and the food was subpar and extremely over priced. I will never step foot in that establishment again!

This is hands down my favorite Korean place now. I love how flavorful the beef bulgogi was and their Kimbap. I also didn't have to wait too long for my order. They also had boba milk teas there, which was so refreshing. The staff also made our first experience more enjoyable. They were accommodating for our children and even were nice enough to take our pictures. I'm really glad this is nearby whenever I get a craving for good Korean food. I can't to try more of what they offer on their menu!

Yum just yum. We just got Doordash delivered and everything was very very good - kinda pricy but good. We got japche, bulgolgi, dumplings and of course Kimbob (always my fav) Everything was fresh and yummy. Minus one star because everything was a bit cold and I wish I would have maintained its heat a bit better! Always love the addition of the little sides that Koreans do and all the different kinds of kimchi we especially loved the green onion pancake side!!

Good menu selection. Friendly and responsive staff. Food tastes great with authentic flavors. Small parking lot. Noisy next door (if you want quiet) bar. I will come back

Been coming here for years. I don't know if they've had a change of management, or the current management is trying to make up for costs, but the quality and service has gone down. I ordered from them via DoorDash an item listed on their DoorDash menu for $19.99. A couple minutes later, I received an email saying that the food price was adjusted and they charged me $5 more (at this point I had already received an email that the order was being worked on). I go in to look at the cost breakdown, and my bulgogi fries were $25!!! I tried to cancel it and I couldn't because the Dasher had picked up the order a minute after that change was done. What a scam!! Take that $5 and shove it up your a**! Will not be returning here ever again, and will be sharing this experience across all review platforms. Here's a tip for the owners, if you have different prices for DoorDash than you do for in-store customers, then make sure those prices are reflected from the start. Don't charge a different amount after the order is confirmed.

I ordered food from Korean Garden for the first time, and it was delicious! It's a little on the expensive side, but the portions are huge (at least, the sundubu jjigae was) and the ingredients high quality, so I think it's worth it. Next time, I'll try their bibimbap, and if it's as good as the sundubu was, I think I found my new Korean restaurant in town! (Oh, and ALL of their kimchi was fabulous, and I'm picky about my kimchi!)

I love their food here. I can't stop dreaming of the bulgogi, it's so good. I'd eat here everyday if the prices were lower, but the cost is understandable.

Delicious and worth the cost. Portioning is generous. We will order from here again. Bulgogi was delicious, vegetable pancakes, and potstickers were also really good.

This is our "go to" Korean restaurant when we're craving korean food; besides it's less than a mile from us. The food has always been pretty good although the prices had gone up since the pandemic. They only have one server and she has her hands full with less than 10 customers and a couple of people waiting for their orders to go. We ordered the LA Kalbi and Galbitang (+cabbage). The kalbi was good as expected but there's something off about the Galbitang. The soup was really bland, smelled a bit slimy and the short ribs were falling off the bone; and did not come with the extra cabbage that I ordered. It was not the usual freshness that you get with beef broth. I asked the server to take it back to the kitchen. The server asked if I wanted a new order but I declined since I figured it will also be using the same meat and broth base. The server was was apologetic but informed us that she cannot take the Galbitang order from the bill. I paid for the FULL order and asked the server to tell the owner/cook to have a taste of the food that was sent back. I guess Korean Garden just lost a couple of regular customers..... :(

The food was amazing and reminds me of authenticity in korea, waiter is super duper nice and gave me a free kpop I.N. photocard :33 ambiance is also really nice and there is kpop mv's on the tv playong

One of our family's favorite places for dinner. Excellent service and some of the best bulgogi and galbi we've ever had. And every side is so good! We also love how clean the restaurant always is.

We have never really experienced Korean food until a few months ago and fell in love in a different state. We decided we needed a fav place close to home! We heard about this place from a local, he told us it was the best! We so agree. We came in for lunch and it was pretty busy, but they are doing such a great job of keeping people separate and distancing. The employees were so sweet. We ordered a few things to try, we ordered the Dolsot Bibimbap in the hot pot, WOW the crispy rice on the bottom was so good, the Beef Bulgogi was so tender and flavorful, the Kimbap was full of delicious veggies and the veggie pancake was crispy and full of love. Gosh we can't wait to come back!

Overpriced Galbi! It's too sweet (not enough sesame flavor) & the side dishes were not what I expected. I'm spoiled from Happy Time Korean Restaurant with the best tasting Galbi on the north-end of Springs & priced just right. Service was ok. Food was ok. For a neighborhood restaurant, it's ok. My first time there but I'm not going back. I just wanted to compare other places nearby.

As a Korean, I truly enjoyed Korean Garden. The good and hospitality were amazing. I went with a group of 8 during lunch and may have overwhelmed the staff, but the food was totally worth the wait. Kimchi pancakes, dolsot bibimbop, bulgogi and kids teriyaki lunch were amazing. I'll define going back again!

At first I was hesitant about this place and thought it wouldn't be authentic but I was pleasantly surprised. I forget the name of the savory clear broth soup I had but it had a strong black pepper flavor with tender beef short ribs. My wife's kimchi soup was spicy and flavorful. The variety of complimentary fermented sides was a nice addition too. We will definitely return!!

Pretty amazing food! We got the japchae, dukbokki and shredded beef soup (yukajang? sp?). Everything tasted delicious and came with just enough banchans. Soda was pricy though, almost $6 for 2 sodas, free refills. Our server was attentive and very kind to my 4 year old who was pretty needy. Prices are comparable to other Korean restaurants, the place was clean, friendly server, delicious food.

I was excited to see a Korean spot on Dublin and Marksheffel! There is a new strip center here with a liquor store and, so far, this is the only place to eat in this section of town which could be good for business with all these new houses right here. This new place was HOPPING on a Friday afternoon at noon. 15 places to sit, 10 were full and there were four people waiting in line to order food. Service was slow, but I give them credit for being new, quite busy, and I'm sure still ironing out the kinks. The two people handling the front of house, an older Korean lady and a 30's something fellow were really hustling, but it was 40 minutes from the time I walked in until the time I got served. This wouldn't be good if I were on a lunch break. I ordered the Spicy Bulgogi lunch for $8.99, to compare with the other Korean places I've tried in town. The serving size was a good portion. I wouldn't say it was spicy as much as... maybe oniony? I like onions but they kind of left a weird flavor to the meat, for me. Tender but maybe a mealy texture? I don't know what you call the sides in Korean, but the most flavorful part of the meal for me was the dumplings, which shouldn't be the star of my meal. The cucumber that was supposed to be spicy had several pieces that were bitter. The bean sprouts were oddly flavored and sour. Didn't add any yumminess to my meal. There were these other small cold square things that seemed like egg that weren't appealing and mushy. My overall impression is that I thought the food was OK, but not great and no definitely no wow factor. Even though it's so close, I personally would prefer to drive across town for better flavor. I heard two people leaving and one said "I'll definitely go back there again" and I also saw a party of three that walked out disgusted with their food, so obviously peoples tastes differ. I was in the middle of these two extremes. Clean simple decor and top 40 music playing lightly in the background.

Great food! I ordered japchae and ramen and they tasted great! Place is clean and quiet. Staff were friendly and attentive.

The food was one of the best Korean spots in the springs! Service was amazing. Will be coming back!!

Broooo their beef clear noodle dish is amazing. My husband ordered it for me for dinner via Grubhub and omg! Now I need to go here for lunch sometime! Something's tells me it's a must try! Folks: in this east side of town world, we need to support the local restaurants as much as we can! I wish we had more of them besides the same ol boring chains. All I can say is heck yes! Now back to my noodles

Thought I'd try this place...never again. These places just want to TAKE MORE AND GIVE LESS! Bulgogi and four "pot sticker" like things. She didn't tell me that I was going to get two included anyway...$19. So much for lunch specials.

Delicious spot!!! I highly recommend the bulgogi fries! The spicy chicken is also amazing. The staff is very friendly, great customer service and the food is awesome!

Best fast Korean food their seaweed is great plus their dumplings are better, what's not to love? Why is it the best well...? The best Korean around Staff friendly Quick Cheap Food Great Side Note: No BBQ Beckys/Karens allowed ^ ¦ That was a joke

Korean Garden is the best Korean Food I have had this far in Colorado Springs this far. I ordered several Korean BBQ meat entrees (Beef Bulgogi (regular & spicy) and Spicy Pork) and Japchae Noodles. All meats were very good, if you are trying to decide between the regular or spicy Beef Bulgogi I suggest the spicy, it's not really hot but has more flavor. We also ordered regular and grape Soju, I highly recommend the grape. The service was excellent. The staff accommodated my request for Fish Cakes even though it's not a standard condiment they serve. If you enjoy or would like to try Korean Food I highly recommend Korean Garden. I will definitely visit again.

The food and a good as is the service. The servings do feel a little smaller than they used to be but my kids enjoy it so we'll be back.

Tried Korean Garden for the first time the other week and decided to get their bulgogi lunch special and spicy seafood tofu soup. They were both delicious and flavorful! They give a decent amount of side dishes which was nice and their lunch combos and soups are good portioned and great prices! Will definitely be back!

The food is great. Authentic Korean food created by the owners of the restaurant. The owners are great people that interact with us as patrons.

Ordered takeout to cure a hangover and what do I order? Soup of course. Yuk gae jang to be exact. A medium spicy blend tender shredded beef, mushrooms, gosari (a mountain fern that's dried and rehydrated), and an egg dropped in. I always add tofu. It's the perfect savory thick stew to coat my stomach after a night of partying. Their sides surprised me. I actually prefer how they serve radish in thin slices rather then the cubes, their bean sprouts had the perfect hint of sesame oil and I think their pickles are my favorite from any korean restaurant I've tried. Crazily enough their cabbage kimchi was the most lackluster thing. I want to visit in person to try the stir fried squid, spicy pork belly and seafood tofu soup. Stand by for update...

I wish I could browse their dinner menu to see their prices because I was a bit surprised with what they charged me. The price for glass noodles and a kids meal was $22.71 which I paid for over the phone prior to picking up. We drove into town late last night from out of state and this was the closest place I knew of. It was convenient and it was on my list to try anyway. I ordered Japchae and a kid's Bulgogi to-go since the lady advised they were closing in 15 minutes -which was fine, of course. The food was good and was more than enough to satisfy me and my two children. I was pleasantly surprised that it came with a third styrofoam clamshell which contained six ban chan. Overall it was a good experience, but I don't think I'll be coming back anytime soon. Okay, maybe again to try their Bulgogi Fries.

I happened to be next door getting buzzed on good beer at JAKs, but after researching this menu I couldn't say no to the Bulgogi Fries. Could not have had a better dish to accompany my beers. So, needless to say, I'm only rating the food and the (brief) service I had with the one staff member I encountered. I walked in and was visibly shaking because the bulgogi fries sounded so delicious and I had trouble being patient & couldn't think of anything but those fries in my belly. The lady running the register was friendly and said she would bring my food over to us next door - which was awesome of her! I did review the rest of the menu, having been to a few dozen other Korean restaurants in town, and the prices seemed to be pretty in line with the other menus I've perused here over the years - not sure where the 'overpriced' comments arise from? The bulgogi fries were everything I could have hoped for. Simple but absolutely hit the spot. Crispy fries, excellent marinade on the bulgogi, cheese, sriracha, and green onion. And that's it. And that's all it needed. Simple, fatty, delicious dish and perfect accouterments to the beer. Check this place out - even if you're not drinking beer next door it's worth your time!

I've loved this place since they opened last year but I love them even more for still providing amazing food and service through take out during this pandemic quarantine time. Easily took my order over the phone, I provided payment on the phone too, and the take out was ready at the front of the restaurant. And my bulgogi cheese fries were just as awesome as they are when we used to eat there. My husband got the spicy pork lunch and it still came rice and all the sides :) Can't wait to eat in the restaurant again but will enjoy take out in the meantime!

Our favorite Korean restaurant in Colorado Springs! Haven't been disappointed in the food at all! And the staff has always been friendly every time we visit!

Great new spot in the Springs. I'm always searching for new Korean places in town and this place earns an honorable mention! Authentic food served by real ajumas in a friendly atmosphere. I tried the doenjang jigae and mandu guk and loved both. Both dishes were just like the meals I grew up with. The ban chan are small but there's a great variety and you can ask for more. The prices are comparable to other Korean places but overall fair for the large portions. Homey atmosphere paired with great soups will keep me coming back for more.

Amazing food and amazing service! It's a comfortable place to eat in and they really have a passion for sharing their cuisine. Highly, highly recommend. Can't wait to go back.

After talking about this place for weeks we finally made it here. We were glad we did. The ambience was strip-mall attractive with plenty of seating. Our server was Sunny, and she was very sweet and patient with us. Our foursome ranged from novice to familiar with Korean cuisine. We passed on apps and went right to the business. Two of us ordered teriyaki chicken, one had beef bulgogi and I had japchae. We asked for higher spice and they were happy to adjust the heat. Their pickled salad sharables were also bottomless for the asking. All were excellent and completely consumed. They could use a better beer selection, but what's new with Asian restaurants, right? We thought that with Jaks nextdoor, the should just put a pass-through window and serve their beers. To their credit they serve Coke products. We will definitely return to Korean Garden, because they have many other things to try.

Quick service. Good food. Smaller portions more on the expensive side. No significant issues.

Good place. Food was good and large bottles of Soju and plum wine was a plus. Spicy pork and spicy bulgogi were good. Meat tasted like it was of the best quality or higher end. Very little fat on both dishes. Son's take-out of regular bulgogi was good tasting. However, our take out of the kimchi pancake just blew our worlds! Imagine take out being microwaved and still making an impression. Best Korean pancake we have ever had! Better than my version and I love my kimchi pancake! They are a little stingy on the banchan, or side dishes, but I guess we could have asked for more while dining in. More for the take out orders is defiantly needed. I couldn't believe how small the Banchan was for two orders. In the end, Korean Garden is defiantly worth a visit and a taste to make your own decision if in the north part of town.

Authentic Korean. Menu is somewhat limited but the food is great. Spicy food is actually spicy. Took about 10-15 minutes to get my order (take out) but I'm ok with waiting (did not order ahead) since it means it's fresh.

Way Good! Dunno what I rated the last time, but it must have been good, because we're back! Stopped in for some Korean Surf and Turf - Ojingo and Daejigogi - Spicy Squid and Spicy Pork, with KimBab (Maki sushi). Simply put: it was excellent! Very friendly and fast. The KimBab was fresh and tasty and the entrees were very tasty and generous. Of course, with side dishes! Only (-) are that it's a big pricy and the parking is crowded and busy with a single entry and exit. Still, well worth the drive!

I first hit the Korean Gardens on Dublin as their menu was at JAKs Brewery. I wasn't super hungry so I ordered the dumplings. They didn't last 2 minutes. my friends and I quickly ordered more and polished off several more rounds. The cool thing was they would bring the food to JAKs. Since then, this is my go to place for dumplings. I'll call when I hit Austin Bluffs on Dublin and they have it ready by the time I get there. Tonight I placed a to go order of dumplings and Bulgogi. They are always fast and provide service with a smile.

Food is absolutely delicious! Service is excellent! Ambiance is perfect! Bulgogi fries are so yummy

Was desperate to find a really good Korean place after being new to Colorado. I've been to Kbop, Shin Sa Dong, and San Chan so far and all has been pleasant but nothing too special. So, thought I might give this a try since it was a week after their grand opening. Walked in and the atmosphere was nice and everything was really clean and everyone was nice. I'm a native korean and have lived in Korea all my life till now. So, I'm really good with knowing what tastes good and what doesn't taste so good. We ordered (ddukbokki) also known as spicy rice cake, kimbap , kimchi fried rice (not on their menu but they said they could make it), and spicy bulgogi the dinner entree and not the bento. Sometimes korean restaurants have the option of adding cheese and ramen to your ddukbokki so I added cheese and asked them if it was possible to add in ramen. The waitress asked the chefs and came back and said they'd have to charge $8 for a single ramen to go in the ddukbokki. Anyone knows $8 to get some ramen noodles in your ddukbokki is outrageous. I immediately declined. The kimbap came out after 15-20 minutes of ordering. The kimbap was missing some staples such as fish cake and pickled radish but it was decent. The menu said it would be served with a soup of the day but we never ended up getting any soup. The ddukbokki came out maybe 10 minutes after the kimbap and this is when everything started going downhill. Anyone who has eaten a bountiful amount of ddukbokki knows it comes with mozzarella cheese. I was very confused to see mexican blend cheese or a mix of cheddar on top of my ddukbokki. I brushed it off and took a bite. As a ddukbokki lover I could say hands down worst ddukbokki of my life because it tasted nothing like how ddukbokki should taste like! It was way too salty had no original flavor of ddukbokki. At this time almost all the tables were filled and we were actually the first customers to come inside. I guess they had some to go orders that came in before us because the rest of our food probably took 40 minutes to come out. We stayed there for an hour to over an hour. However, what was funny is that tables who came in 30 to 40 minutes after us were getting their meals before us! By this time all we needed was our spicy bulgogi and kimchi fried rice. Kimchi fried rice isn't a hard dish and spicy bulgogi as well. Other tables who came in 30-40 minutes after us were getting their entree dishes so it didn't make sense we weren't getting ours. Finally, the kimchi fried rice came out and this was probably the worst. The waitress confidently told us thy it's not on their menu but they make it often so she suggested it. The fried rice was so bland and just a pile of flavorless rice with big chunks of kimchi. Kimchi fried rice usually has small cut kimchi in it but the chunks of kimchi were big. I was so disappointed that I took one bite and I just couldn't eat it again. The spicy bulgogi didn't even end up coming out because they handed us a bulgogi lunch bento that we didn't even order. After about an hour wait and multiple disappointments this was the last straw. I was so excited, but really let down by the wrong order with an hour wait. I told the server we didn't order the bulgogi bento and he said he'll tell the people in the back to remake it but at that point i lost all my patience and didn't want to have to wait any longer. I tried the bulgogi bento to see if it was okay. Everything was standard but the pancake (jeon) and the mandoo (potsticker) that came out with the bento was super cold. The bulgogi was way too salty, but it's probably the best out of all. I don't know if it's just because they just opened, but genuinely would never go back for the food. However, I have to say everyone was really nice and discounted our bill. Originally was $51 but proud it down to $28. Maybe I'll just give it time and hope they improv

So I've never had Korean food. So my dad took me to this place, and he was stationed in Korea for a few yrs so I trust it was gonna be good if he's eating there. Man I was blown away. It was so flavorful and the sides they bring out with the dishes really add a depth of flavor you don't get with my other cuisines around here. It's a cute mom and pop kinda restaurant and the staff is very attentive and bubbly, which is just a nice change from the chain restaurants around here. They even made a recommendation for the mean I should try for my first, and I was not disappointed. It's kinda pricey. I would figure about $25 a person with drink (beer) and tip included, so not horrible. And they have $9 lunch specials. So I would go then if you wanna try it but not spend to much.

I always order food here. So yummy! I highly recommend this place. I love Korean food!!

I love Korean food and only found one other place in town that is actually worth going to until tonight. We ordered the kids bulgogi and chicken teriyaki and my husband and I got the Galbi short ribs and spicy pork belly. We also ordered the yakimandu appetizer. Everything was very tasty and fresh. The sides they brought out are unlimited but we didn't know that til after we ate. We will definitely be back.

Clean, friendly Korean restaurant. Excellent food and service. We ordered the spicy pork, vegetable pancake,! Tofu stir-fry vegetable and came with rice. Everything tasted delicious! We will definitely come back here again!

I didn't grab any pictures, which I wish I had as the food was presented so well. It was delicious. This is a very good Korean food place in Colorado Springs. I ordered the spicy pork belly and it was delicious. Also tried some excellent bulgogi and had a couple of appetizers. The service was very friendly. The only thing that keeps it from a five star is that it took over an hour to get our food. that was a little bit too long and the chairs aren't super comfy to be sitting that long.

Enjoyed eating here during a winter storm. I had their ramen with dumplings and my husband had the bulgogi. Both were very delicious and tasty. Will be going back. Warm and friendly service. I like that their menu isn't overwhelming, even with drinks!
