    Celebrated my husband's birthday in Seoul Garden. Didn't know what to expect but everything was amazing! Our favorite was the Galbee. Servers are really nice and we even got free matcha ice cream! Highly recommended!

    Great Korean BBQ, full and extensive menu, unfortunately the BBQ tables were full so we sat at a table where the food was prepared in the kitchen and brought to us. Quality of food was great, but I prefer to cook my own meat so each person can get the meat as well done or rare as they prefer. Not as extensive variety of banchan as I would like, but the 6 or so offered were all good. Kalbi and oyster jun were very flavorful. I would recommend. The next time we go, I hope to get a table with a BBQ.

    The food was horrible- the meat was not marinaded well (if at all). The servers disappeared once we got our food. His recommendations were just to get the bill up. The portions were small for the price charged. Would not go there again.

    While the portions were huge and there were many side dishes to choose from, service was not very good. After we finished eating, no one cleared our table. We sat with leftover raw meat on the table until we got up to leave. It was hard to get water refills. There are just too many other great Korean restaurants to choose from.

    Overall it was a nice experience. We are a party of 10, that celebrated Fathers day. The meat that we ordered are pretty good. They give a lot of side dishes including lettuce. The service could improve a bit more by just remembering your customers request, because we have to ask them a couple of times for more tea, our rice and more sides.. I know it can get busy so I give them that, and at least at the end they each gave us a free green tea ice cream, so we are happy & full!

    Mediocre food, OK deco and terrible service due to severe understaffing. Went for a late dinner and there was only one, very inexperienced waitress who disappeared all the time. The management should spend more money to employ more servers for dinner time when they charge $40 for a portion of beef rib BBQ which customers are expected to cook themselves at the table. Overall, very disappointing experience. Maybe it's OK for a quick, simple lunch but not for BBQ dinner.

    Kevin, our waitor was awesome and really funny. There are so many reviews on here about this place having horrible service but it was great! They even grilled the meat for us. The food was yummy. And yes, maybe there are better, cheaper spots, but we were able to get a reservation for a table of 6 easily and that is worth the few extra bucks. We did one of the meat combos for 4 people and we ordered a few other appetizers and it was totally enough for the 6 of us.

    The waiter will not get us the dessert (ice cream) even it's include in our dinner menu. He said they are too busy tonight and they won't serve us the dessert.
