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!

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.

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.

Loved what we ordered. The food was high quality. Chicken was delicious, well seasoned, and had a hint of being organic - it was that exceptional. The salad dressing was a great mix of ginger and a few other spices. The staff was attentive. We will go back.

Great ambiance & great food! This is 1st time here since they added a new section inside of the restaurant. The deco is top notch and I enjoyed cooking all the meat & veg at our table. The fried rice at the end was delicious. I would definitely go back soon.

Just an average Korean spot. Decent food - nothing special. Great service though

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.

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.

We were craving Korean food so we gave this place a try. We ordered La galbi, thinly sliced pork belly and seafood pancake. The seafood pancake was good but not crispy enough, we’ve had better. We liked all the bancan that went with it. Since the light was out at our table, it was a bit inconvenient. Also the fire of the grill went out twice during our dining. The service was okay given they only checked on us when we were about to finish.

Ah, the timeless tango of dining out—where the promise of culinary delight crashes headlong into the brick wall of human indifference. Picture this: you, hopeful and hangry, stepping into a restaurant that's supposed to whisk you away to flavor town. Instead, you're greeted by the hostess, whose eye-roll at your innocent question about the menu. But listen, the real five-star experience was the comedy. I told our waitress at the end, completely deadpan, “You’re an incredible server with a beautiful smile,” and she looked like she was trying to solve quantum physics in her head to figure out if I was serious. Dropped a $5 tip just to keep the bit going. Worth every penny for the story. Verdict: Skip this place unless you want dinner and a show—where the show is two grown adults getting emotionally waterboarded by passive aggression and the dinner is whatever “edible” means on its worst day. 10/10 for live theater, 2/10 for actual restauranting. Bring popcorn, not an appetite.
