I love this place! I've been twice and both times the food was fantastic. The portions are large, and they bring lots of side dishes to go with. The inside has a cute little Korean town feel. The servers were always super attentive. I'm vegetarian, and they had plenty of options that could be made vegetarian and my meat eating fiancé loved his meals too!

Lovely, very sweet staff, and the restaurant was very clean and has lots of booths.Walked right in on a holiday Monday.The prices were significantly higher than I saw here on Yelp, and I didn't feel very excited about their banchan or the mackerel which I usually love. The mackerel was tasty, but chewy. I'm not sure why it was so tough. The tokkboekki was very good though with a comfortable level of heat. I would recommend that.

Very good! Seoul Garden is located inside the Japantown Peace Plaza Mall on the West side, 2nd Floor. As we were having Japanese food for dinner, we all for something different and decided to try Seoul Garden for lunch. We were quite surprised to find that we were quite surprised to find that the restaurant was a bit empty at 12:30 PM. But, we were delighted to find out that they have a lunch special, which is a pretty good deal... We opted for their bibimbap at only $21 which includes a soda. but, we are also very greedy and also ordered their crispy fried chicken... knowing that we wouldn't be able to finish!! ... Which is so yummy and so crispy!!! XD Food is OK to good. Fries chicken is delicious! ;) Overall a pleasant dining experience with good food. Service was very friendly, on point and our waitress was very nice and efficient.

Visited during the Cherry Blossom Festival, and everywhere was packed. We were seated quickly, but a line formed shortly after. Appears to be a family run restaurant. They were busy - running around taking orders, placing orders, filling water glasses. They apologized for the wait for our orders.We started off with the Mung Bean Jun. They arrived hot and crispy. I really enjoyed these. The banchan arrived shortly after with the Spicy Pork stir fry. So many different varieties of banchan. The spicy pork wasn't too spicy. Kiddo ordered Ramen, which he devoured. For the Dolsot Bibimbap, hubs loved the crispy rice. The stone pot stayed hot for a long time, which helped to create more crispy rice. Just wished there was more beef. The Soy Garlic fried chicken arrived last. It was crispy and flavorful. Just the perfect amount of sauce and the chicken pieces weren't drowning in sauce. Happened to be a warm day in the city, so the restaurant was also very warm. Food was kinda on the pricier side, but we enjoyed our meal overall.

Seoul Garden is an upscale Korean BBQ and restaurant located in the Japantown mall on the 2nd floor of the west wing. They have impeccable service, appears to be family-owned, and has a lot of seating. It tends to be on the pricier side, however the quiet atmosphere and good service make up for that. It's a great alternative to Brothers Restaurant on Geary.Seoul Garden's Korean mung bean pancakes (mung bean jun) are the best I have ever had, they are crispy and come with a nice lemon dipping sauce. I always order the tofu dol-sot bibimbap and ask to make sure they don't add any seafood-based banchan (or veg. side dishes) like kim chi to the dish in order for it to be vegetarian. They always accidentally add one slice of fish cake (the pink type) on top which is easily removable. Their dol-sot bibimbap is excellent quality, and has me coming back.

We had the Korean BBQ at Seoul Garden. Short ribs $60, 2x beef tongue $51 each, 2x pork belly $45 each, garlic soy fried chicken $30 and jhap chae (clear noodles) $24. We did the option where we cook it ourselves. The food tasted, not great. Our cooking skills are lacking. As for service, we got the rookie team. They were short staffed and it showed. They also ran out of Terra beer and we had to resort to Cass beer. We wanted their shrimp tempura $45 but it was out. That was disappointing. Regardless, there was no wait for a table and we had a fun time chatting with friends while cooking some meat.

The restaurant is very big. Lots of seating.The dolsot bibimbap to me lacked flavor despite adding gochujang. The rice however was perfect with the nice crispy rice on the bottom. Dolsot Bimbimbap with beer was almost $30.00. We'll probably not go here frequently due to the prices.

Loveeeeeee this korean spot. If youre looking for a local mom + pop korean joint this is IT. My ultimate favorite is their pancakes, mung bean pancake, oyster pancakes, seafood pancakes. They make it so perfect inbetween cripsy af and a nice chew. Its really hard to find a korean that does their pancake right without too much filling or thick batter and seoul garden nailed it! Their crispy fried chicken is fire too. SUPER crispy and fresh. Its like if popeyes and kfc had a baby but prob healthier? I prefer my chicken without the heavy sauces but even when we got their wings with sauce it was the perfect amount of, not overly saucy and sweet. I love all their stews, army stew , chicken ginseng soup, etc, LOVE. Cannot go wrong with that.TONS of sides and its so cute. Also ordered the bbasam? The pork belly was cooked perfectly and it even had oysters. Love love love. I literally went back twice in a month and even thinking about going back next week .To top it off the owner is a sweetheart!

beautiful place to have dinner.This place has been around for over 43 years.I always get their tofu veggie stew. I always love the appetizers.I don't know how many bowls of rice I ate, but this time I was charged $3 for extra rice.I used to come here a lot. the first time I was here was 30 years ago. Now I moved, I make sure to say hi when I'm in the area.This inside the Japan plaza. It's funny when I'm Japantown, I eat Korean food instead Japanese food.come check out the place,The Owner and Server is very nice.I usually give cash tips, so the server will get their money right away!
