The 15 Best Korean Restaurants in Houston | Eater Houston

"This longstanding Korean barbecue joint serves up meaty classics like prime rib-eye, galbi, and samgyeopsal, a sumptuous three-layered pork belly made for sharing. Side dishes include a standout seafood pancake. Eating alone? Savor a bubbling bowl of kimchi jigae stew or a crispy kimchi pajeon." - Brianna Griff

The 10 Best Korean BBQ Restaurants in Houston

"Step inside Seoul Garden in Spring Branch and you’ll have to gingerly cross a bridge over a small indoor pond that's complete with a waterwheel just to get into the dining room. The ambiance is pretty understated: a few portraits, a handful of plants sprinkled around the room, and the subtle hum of the propane grill at your table. You’re here for the caramelized thin strips of pork bulgogi and beef brisket that make their way to your table along with a parade of banchan. And while the menu here is pretty standard, there’s plenty of food to choose from (including the side salad with an invigorating ginger dressing), and the staff allows you to take over the grilling as you see fit.

Haven’t been here in awhile, but was brought here for their Galbitang (short rib soup) and was surprised by how great the dish was. Friend swore this place had the best version of this dish in Houston, and I couldn’t think of a place I enjoyed more honestly. Also ask for the egg soufflé which is huge and delicious! Went back a week later with my cousin to have him enjoy it as well.

Seoul garden is a hidden jam even though it has been around a long time. Mrs Suzy was a really excellent host. We love this place and we’ll be back.

What a gem. I had no idea Houston had such good Korean food! Felt like Koreatown in LA. Everything was wonderful, from the steamed egg, to the japchae and everything in between. They even had my favourite type of meat for the bbq, the chaduel-gue (apologies for the spelling), which is grilled unmarinated and dipped in sesame oil. Highly recommend!

First time eating legit Korean food. You can cook your own Korean barbecue. We left the cooking up to the experts. The best kimchi I’ve ever had. The best mulmandu (dumplings), too. Everything — roasted eel (jahng-uh gui) and beef (bulgogi bibimbap) were delicious. We also splurged on Korean rice wine (makgeolli) - which is served and drink in a very particular way. It tasted a bit like sake. Very enjoyable. Very clean restaurant. I love that there’s a doorbell that you can push at your own table for service. Every single staff member was incredibly kind and polite, and willing to help us navigate our way through our meal.

We’ve been coming to Seoul Garden for as long as I can remember. I’ve always liked their food, but lately I noticed that the stews are consistent over-seasoned, and there’s some shrink-flation going on. Last time we came we ordered BS5, the BbQ combo that comes with 4 types of meat, salad, and a choice of stew or steamed egg. The combo was 89.99, and the 4 meats came out on 2 regular plates and that was it! I’m posting pictures for reference. We put 2 meats, the short ribs and chicken, on the grill together, and had no issues fitting them all on the grill. Like really? 4 pieces of chicken, and 8 pieces of ribs! The wait staff at the place are usually nice and attentive. But this time around, towards the end of the meal, most people finished eating and were just sitting around chatting. I was still eating, and wanted to refill a couple of the banchans. I ran the bell 3 times and our wait person never came.

Bibimbap was awesome, and the stir-fried veggies were solid.

It's an old restaurant that's been in Houston for decades. The Korean decorations and vibes are there. However, the prices here are high for the food that we received. The side dishes are really boring. The seafood pancake is good. The waitresses are these ajummas who all looked very busy, impatient, rude and with poor english. The friends that came with me have been eating here for 30 years, but the services that we received are still really poor. I know you all have worked here for decades, but your attitudes need to improve. I would rather go to Handan for AYCE if it's not that my friend's call.

Seoul Garden has been the choice Korean restaurant for my family for over a decade now. The food is delicious and they give you (and don't charge for) all of the traditional sides when you eat there. We have had some issues with the service throughout the years: but I believe that the owners have done a great job trying to get their servers to acclimate to American customer's needs and expectations. Overall I would say their service has been *much* better over the past 3 years. This really is a "family style" restaurant that immerses you in the culture of Korean cuisine. You even have the option to cook the meat yourself which my father has done traditionally for our family. I recommend Seoul Garden for their flavorful, truly traditional Korean cuisine, their immersive atmosphere and their constantly improving customer service.

Delicious! Been here forever. Service is always perfect. Everything is al la carte or per person. The least expensive one is 35$ per person and it was well over enough meat. They also have hotpot. It's different from Kpot and more authentic than the modern Korean bbq places.

This is one of my favorite authentic Korean food places. We always order the Japchae - stir-fried clear noodles with assorted vegetables, beef, soy sauce and sesame oil. The Pumpkin Pancake - pan fried zucchini pancake with egg batter, and Galbi - flanked cut short ribs. We have also order the Soondooboo - tofu soup and Daepae Samgyupsal - thinly sliced pork belly on occasion. You can have them cook your food in the back, which is nice. The atmosphere is cute with a water wheel and running waterfall. The service is great too. Highly recommend.

I was on a search for quality bibimbap, and beelined to Long Point, and found Seoul Garden. It was lunchtime and as we walked in, we were greeted and seated immediately. The decor was old world, the seating had the standard grill in the center. My friend and I had a large table with plenty of arm and leg room. The bibimbap came accompanied with a good selection of banchan, including fish cakes and kimchi. The bowl was still sizzling. The bulgogi I ordered was flavorful. The rice was a good mix of fluffy, sticky, and crispy. I ordered tea and was refilled multiple times. The service was great! Overall a great experience. I would definitely come back for lunch.

Met some friends for a late lunch on a Sunday and decided to stop at Seoul Garden. The menu is extensive with all the classics and you can choose from cooked dishes or kbbq. I decided on the udon which came with two pieces of tempura shrimp. The shrimp was overly battered but not bad but the udon was the true winner. Served in a hot pot, the broth was full of flavor with lots shrimp and veggies. The udon had a chew to them and soaked up the broth well. I didn't get to try any of the banchan but my friends enjoyed them. Service was great and the servers attentive. I'd like to go back again to try more of the menu.

Catering by Seoul Garden. Every dish was delicious! From the Korean braised short ribs to the fried chicken wings, spicy boiled squid salad mix, banchan side dishes, and various kimchis - all amazingly prepared. Thank you for representing what a Korean catering experience should be!

Seoul garden has been one of my favorite restaurants recently. A friend of mine took me for lunch one day and I've come back several times since. I have to say, the seafood pancake is one of the best foods l've ever had. My go to order is the soondooboo combo with seafood soondooboo and bulgogi. The sides here are also really good, particularly the kimchi and bean sprouts. Can't wait to go back!

I really enjoyed my trip to Seoul Garden. The restaurant has a cute little waterfall in the foyer and the waitstaff is fast and solicitous. I tried their seafood pancake which was delicious, their kimbap which came in huge amounts, and their galbi and thin pork belly which was very good. The Banchan was yummy and they would refill it regularly. Overall I would come back again. I have to admit I was a bit confused at first thinking it was kbbq but it was not lol. Close to the hmart blalock so you can go get some grocery shopping done before you go to the restaurant.

Delicious Korean BBQ in Spring Branch! Lunch time is very busy, and their lunch specials menus are very variety. I like their marinade beef, but tastes pretty strong. Sometimes I ordered without marinade.

My niece was visiting & the one thing she wanted was K-BBQ! Since my last visit to my usual place was dismal, I checked on Yelp & realized I have been to Seoul Garden with my mother's acupuncture doctor & had enjoyed the food. We were immediately greeted & shown to a table. Everything on the menu looked awesome! We ordered our food & feeling lazy, had the kitchen cook for us instead of grilling at the table. The seafood pancake, salad & sides hit the table pretty quickly. Best K-pancake I've had to date, really tasty & the salad was made with fresh ingredients w plenty of cucumbers & carrots. Loved the salad dressing. The sides were also delicious! The cooked meat & squid hit the table & we dug in. Everything was very delicious and everything had a nice kick to it. Even though we didn't cook at the tale, we left smelling like we did :) I think this will be my new go-to place for K-BBQ.

My cousin made reservation and we accidentally went across the street to the location with a similar name. Don't do what we do. Must come here. Shhh hahaha. Seoul Garden was awesome. We are visiting and got here. Tons of parking in front. When you walk it, it's huge inside. There's smaller rooms and tables to the left and throughout the restaurant. Our cousins were at the right restaurant so were already seated. We came in, ordered and the rest was amazing. Great service and the waitresses not only take our orders, they also cook for us and cut the larger pieces to smaller ones for us to enjoy. I'm in heaven. I ordered a few rounds of my fav side items and they refilled it with no issues. Meats were so good and fresh. Our whole table enjoyed the dinner very much. It's not AYCE but the meats were premium grade and sides were plentiful, we were full and not overly stuffed. Left happy. And I didn't smell like meat when I left. Win win right there.

Seoul Garden has established itself as a haven for Korean cuisine enthusiasts and I cannot believe I have not written any reviews for this place yet. Oh the crime!!! The water wheel decor on top of an artificial indoor pond will charm any guests stepping foot into the restaurant. And I assume the bridge acts as a bridge to Korea through this restaurant? Lol idek. Anyhow, to the main point of this review, the food is AMAZING! You can request for actual Korean BBQ where you cook at the table with your parties or the restaurant can do it for you in the back (which takes away the fun but very ideal for small children/disabled people). We've had their la-galbi, bulgogi, galbisal gui, shrimp gui, and beef tongue gui time and time over and we're still obsessed with how flavorful they are every visit! Their appetizers, specifically takoyaki and gunmandu, are also very tasty. The accompanying plain white rice at Seoul Garden deserves special mention for its exceptional taste and texture. I'll be honest, I'm Asian, and I was blown away by their freaking plain white rice?! I even had to ask for the type of rice that they used or if there were any special methods involved in cooking because I've never had plain rice that was so fluffy and fragrant. Through our conversations with the servers, we also learned that all the side dishes are made in-house, which is insane (!!!) because there were probably 8-10 side dishes and they're super generous with the portions AND refills. Needless to say, Seoul Garden has been our fave Korean BBQ restaurant and will (hopefully) stay this way. Please don't ever change!!!

I love all of the ajummas here. That's the wonderful ambience this place offers. It's not fancy, though it is nicely decorated with a water wheel and other features. Because of the staff, this place feels more like an extension of your living room. We don't normally eat K-BBQ at restaurants because we prefer to do that at home, most times outside, sitting on the floor, with banchan galore. What do we get? Haemul Pajeon - love the seafood pancake here, served with what I affectionately call "crack sauce". The seafood to pancake ratio is just right IMHO, because you don't want the seafood to dominate since the crispy pancake is just as much of a player in this show. Bibimbap - whether you choose the regular bibimbap, dolsot (stone bowl), or any of the other varieties, they are all delish. We know, we have tried them all. Galbi Tang - the soup with beef bones is spectacular. It's the sort that leaves your lips sticky after you finish, a sign that someone took care to get all the essence and collagen out from the bones and into the elixir. Soondubu Jjegae - the spicy soft tofu stew, accompanied by rice, is one of my favorite "I'm not 100% today and need warm comfort" type of meals, especially if the cause of the sub-100% is due to a hangover (don't judge). Each spoonful is a little caress on your head and a voice whispering "aigoo, you ok, you ok". Grilled Mackerel - you gotta be a fish lover and good with eating off the bone. If you are, get THIS. Mackerel is a wonderfully flavorful dish due to the higher oil content (read 'really tasty Omega 3'). This is a dish I love getting when I can take my time for a meal, picking at and savoring each morsel of meat and chatting up with my wife or a good friend. There are many more dishes we like, but these are common in the rotation. Btw, I'm not knocking the BBQ here. We have had it and it's yummers. We just like doing it up at home with a lineup of soju (I told you not to judge me ). Stop by, say hello and be bond to the ajummas, enjoy your meal, and thank me later.

What did the government minister in Seoul say? "I never wanted to be known as a Korea politician." What to order: Yuk Gae Jang (beef soup). If you, like me, refer to your underwear as your "Garden", then you know that there are many restaurants out there that will leave you with a "Soiled Garden." This is not one of them. On Long Point, you'll find this absolutely delicious Korean food from this little restaurant on the north side of the street. The service isn't always great, but it's not bad, and we definitely like the soup here. We do want them to crank up the spice several levels next time we come though. But we love Korean food, and this is one of the better places to get it in Houston. Now if you've been to Busch Gardens or Madison Square Garden or the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ, then you know that there are many gardens, and some of them are not altogether pleasant. But there is only one garden that serves utterly spectacular Korean food. Indeed, this is the "Sole Garden" where you will find food this delicious. And when Barbi poses here without shoes, it really is "Sole Garden." Regardless, you must give SG a try. It is a really lovely restaurant with really nice decor. We love coming here, particularly as they have good Korean soups for a very affordable price. They can be a friendly bunch, and the soups in particular, as I said, are definitely worth coming in and trying. "Solo Garden" might sound like the title of a home-made video of what you might do when it's nice outside, and you have high fences around your yard, and you really need some erotic release as well as some fresh air at the same time. However in this case, it has nothing to do with that, and I've specifically graphically asked the owners, and they assure me it has nothing to do with that. There's lots of great Korean food along Long Point Road, and I wish they could make it a little more spicy, the way we like it. Because that's the way, aha, aha, we like it, aha, aha. Thanks for reading my review. I shall now start my new life with dogs and cats (already got the cats) and a family and a white picket fence. I can already imagine looking for a kindergarten for my kids. Actually I think there is only one around here that I would trust to look after my kids. It is the "Sole (Kinder) garten" that I trust.

I have been coming here for years and find the food consistently delicious. The service was great and the staff were extra kind to our kids. The bulgogi and pork belly were cooked well and tasted amazing with the dipping sauce and lettuce salad they provided. Some of the other dishes I enjoy from here are the soondubu jjigae, dolsot bibimbap and kimchi pajeon. I love the ambiance and the water feature at the entrance.

This restaurant is super spacious on the inside and even has a wedding hall. However the food is alright at best, though service is quick and attentive. I ordered the dumpling rice cake soup which was actually pretty good, however the dumplings would fall apart when I would try to grasp them with my chopsticks. My friends and I shared a seafood pancake which was very mediocre. It was not crispy and there was little to no seafood in it. We also ordered some pork belly to share which we had them grill in the kitchen for us (so that we wouldn't leave smelling like meat). The meat came out lukewarm to cold and was so fatty it left a greasy feeling in our mouths--we should have just grilled it ourselves. My friend got the mul naengmyeon and it lacked flavor even after adding mustard to it. My other friend got japchae which was actually very good. It had a nice smoky flavor and was very flavorful. Not sure if we will be returning.

This is my go to Korean food spot. I have been going here for over a decade. If you want "the" true Korean restaurant experience this is your spot. The kimbop is perfect. My go to dish is the galbi. My personal preference is for them to cook the meat. They have a button to push for any service. It's a fun place to experience.

One of the OG Korean restaurants in Spring Branch along Long Point. You'll find it's one of several Korean restaurants in the area! Expect authentic Korean comfort food. I recently returned and was delighted to fill my belly with all the delicious sides, noodles, meats, stew and steamed egg dishes. The service is quick. I gladly let the kitchen staff to cook the meats in their kitchen instead of grilling it myself this time. The galbi and sliced pork belly were my favorite grilled meats. My kid devoured the black bean noodles, or jjajangmyeon; it was a nice balance of savory and sweet. Everyone loved the steamed egg, which came out fluffy and piping hot. Loved how generous they were with the green onion. I would love to find out how they make the salad dressing, because it's so good!

Normally I go to an all you can eat Korean BBQ place but wanted to give this one a try. They were really busy when we walked in. The waitresses were really nice and attentive. They helped us with ordering because we were t sure what to order. We ordered a plate with spicy pork, beef, boneless ribs, and chicken. We cooked it at our own table. Man that chicken was super tender, the spicy pork had great flavor, the huge surprise was the boneless rib meat. So tender, juicy, and flavorful. The beef was only ok. The steamed egg was a tad runny/wet. I thought it good but my husband didn't like it. For our leftovers, we took them home. Something you can't do at an all you can eat place. The orange slices at end were refreshing. Another huge plus was the nice upgraded restrooms. I love a clean restroom!!! I invite everyone to come and give it a try.

As we walked in my wife slipped and almost fell because they had just washed the floor and didn't put up a wet floor sign (they did so after her slip). The food is standard Korean food, decent but nothing special. The service is basic, they didn't make an effort to remove plates and the table was cluttered. The inside was pretty and the bathroom was clean. No reason to choose this over any other Korean restaurant.

I have been going to Seoul garden for 20 years, and all I can say is that the food just keeps getting better and better. The menu is better now and that makes the selections more fun. But the food is delicious and the Wait staff is really good. The pictures below are my last lunch experience there. The food was magnificent.

Disclaimer: The restaurant is NOT located in Louisiana, but in Houston, Texas -A9 large seafood pancake. -A10 homemade Korean fried pork beef Dumpling. -S2 thin sliced beef brisket, beef Short Rib, Rib eye steak, steam egg/kimchi stew. I'll keep this review simple. The service was superb and fast with the home comfort vibe you would get from your grand parents house. The food.....was A1 ! It may look sketchy on the outside but this hidden gem is so worth going to! What are you waiting for? Go come here now!

Seoul Garden All those Korean dramas on Netflix, especially the period ones always had atleast once scene with a food display, and it was a huge feast. I wondered if people did that and after a long search for a friendly Korean restaurant, found this right here in Houston and oh! So glad it made me. We didn't know what to expect, or if there was any vegetarian either. The outside is made to look a little ethnic, but the inside is a whole new world in itself. A waterfall, a huge wheel, paintings on the wall, soju cocktails (ya.... that was interesting though I did not try any soju as I was heading to work). It was beautiful! The initial seating they gave us had a strong smell of fish, which would make vegetarians like me uncomfortable, but they were kind enough to understand and offer a different exclusive seating far from the kitchen. There was no-one except us there which made it a very special meal, and I did so much appreciate them for accommodating our request. We ordered the tempuras and an entrée with spicy tofu. The tempuras came first, all crispy with all sorts of vegetables and a soya, sesame sauce. Ann took special care to explain each dish and the ingredients that went into them to ensure we understood what we were eating. We were still relishing the tempuras when a kitchen cart arrived with couple of side dishes- oh just like in the dramas I used to watch - it does happen even today! I was exhalted! There was cabbage, watercress, sprouts, tofu, and spiced zucchini. All soo good, I wondered if I would have place for the main dish. Next comes the main dish in a stoneware. We were still working on the tempuras and Ann came in -she did come in many times to check on us and ask if we were ok, if we needed anything, any explanation and so on....a great host! She enquired if we knew how to eat, and saying ," I ill show u", she mixed up all the ingredients in the bowl and showed us the crispy rice at the bottom where the rice sticks to the vessel. She mentioned THAT is the yummiest part, and it was. We were fighting over to get that crispy part of the rice. The stone actually not just keeps the food warm longer, but slowly turn the rice at the bottom into that crispy consistency. Yelp check-ins win a free fish entrée, so Yelp fish lovers, wanting to try this place, take this chance and you will never regret. I loved the whole experience. Can't wait to go back. Kaamsamida! ( thats Thank you right..)

Came for Sunday brunch. The staff followed covid rules. Which was nice. Ordered Spicy Pork on hot skillet, cold spicy noodles, and sashimi salad with rice. The sides came out first which were delicious along with the pork which was flavorful. I do wish there was more meat on the dish itself since the dish was over $20 and there were more veggies if not as much as there was meat. The spicy cold noodles were pretty good as well but watch the amount of sauce you put in on the side. It can spoil the whole dish if you're not careful. Finally the sashimi salad with rice was my least favorite. The fish still tasted a little frozen like ice. Again with the sauce if you are not careful it can be too much making it salty. Personally it was not flavorful enough and the fish just made me wish I got something else. Staff was very kind and I was debating between 3-4 stars. But my dissatisfaction of one dish and other dishes being good but nothing that stood out left me feeling like I should have maybe ordered a specialty or ask the waiter for their opinion. Not sure if I'll be back soon.

a lovely restaurant with a gorgeous atmosphere. their prices have increased due to inflation over the years, but I've been coming here ever since I was a child and it still remains my favorite korean restaurant in houston. The staff are lovely and kind and the place is extremely authentic. everything on the menu is good, but their soondooboo is a must-have

Come for the food. Service is very slow. The mixed combinations are the best selection.

If you're looking for an old school Korean restaurant (think 80s decor), this is the place to come. I've visited here a couple of times now. First time ordering the KBBQ, 2nd time ordering a few prepared dishes. They have a yelp check-in offer for a small seafood pancake that they've supposedly stopped and complain that Yelp just hasn't removed it yet, but they still honored the offer for me on my 2nd visit in mid-2020. This restaurant works well for date night, groups, families or anything in between. An interesting seat is right up front by the water mill and ponds, but one drawback is you get a lot of traffic walking by your table. There is also a semi-private room to the left when you walk in, which is almost like a separate restaurant. They have a bar area to your right, but no one sits there. Everything I've eaten here is tasty. Can't go wrong with the bulgogi, kim chi stew, or black bean noodles. Prices are on par with other Korean spots in town. Service is usually average, but depends on how busy they are.

My mom loves Korean food, so naturally, we had to go eat Korean food on Mother's Day! We ordered a lot of food since we came in hungry. It took a minute to seat us and get our orders but I'm going to go ahead and attribute that to the Mother's Day/After-Church Sunday crowd. My mom rates this place a 9/10. Pretty high on her list! Food - the most important criteria -- honestly, this place is one of the best Korean restaurants I've been to, food-wise. Everything we ordered was delicious! We ordered thin cut pork belly, marinated boneless beef short rib with sweet soy BBQ sauce, marinated octopus in spicy house sauce, spicy soft tofu stew (seafood), and gimbab. No complaints about any of them, we wiped them out. I love korean side dishes and they did not skimp there either. They served oranges to conclude the meal as well. Service - honestly pretty sub-par, but it was probably just our server. She was pretty unfriendly and rarely came up to refill drinks. We had to constantly flag other people down. The other servers were very efficient and really nice though. Ambience - very spacious and pretty space. The entrance was really pretty! There was a little wishing(?) pond and a water wheel as soon as you enter. Honestly, the place was beautiful.

I love Seoul Garden! Their kimchi pizza and kimchi jiggae is delish and flavorful! We also love their dolsot bimbpop!

I'm never doing AYCE KBBQ again - this place is so much better! There is ample parking and we were greeted and seated promptly. The decor was pretty dated, but clean; the bathrooms were updated and clean too. The menu is fairly large and it took us a minute to determine the difference in meat you can grill at the table menu v. Meat they will grill for you menu - especially because you can ask them to grill the grill at the meat table for you (basically, different meat options, but they will cook in kitchen). We opted for the kimchi pancake, steak bulgogi, and spicy pork and it was a lot of food! The banchan (bon chon?) was plentiful and packed great flavor. The kimchi pancake is HUGE and didn't do much for us - the other stuff was so filling and good, it would have been plenty by itself. A team of waiters took care of us throughout the meal.
