Seoul Garden Cary

As a DMV native, I've been spoiled by the variety and quality of Korean food. It took me a while to find a good Korean spot in the Cary area. FOODI've been here twice with a group and have been able to try a variety of the dishes offered here. Some highlight dishes: bossam (especially the pork, the oyster that came with it were okay too, but nothing crazy), and the stone pot bibimbap. That being said this is still by far one of the better Korean spots in the area. The value is great too. Definitely planning on checking out their lunch menu one of these days. SERVICEThe service here is a little inconsistent. The first time we came here, our server was a lady who came to check on our table, made sure all our side dishes were refilled, and overall very friendly. She was not working when we went the second time and the only times the server stopped by was when they gave us the QR, brought out of food and towards the very end when we needed the check. We were looking for some refills during the meal, but no one stopped by. The food and bill came out pretty quick.AMBIANCEYou know an Asian spot is going to be GOOD when the place itself isn't all decked out. The interior is a bit run down and plain, which made me a bit hesitant at first, but once you see that much of the clientele were mostly Korean people, we knew we were in a good spot for Korean food.

Love the korean food here. Seoul Garden has great staff and great food, at a very respectable price point. There is plenty of seating in doors, and the staff is all very nice and helpful. Everything we ordered was up to standard and was very generous in portion size and the contents of the food. They did not skimp on meat or seafood, while also providing plenty of noodle. Great experience, would come again.

Food is always spot on. Service can be spotty, but it is what it is. If you're looking for great decor/atmosphere, this place may not be for you.

How the mighty have fallen...I can only assume this business has gone under new management because in 6-8 months, the quality has sunk LOW. THE LAST 3 TIMES I ordered from Doordash as it has been horrible. I had switched to Doordash because they do not treat non-Asian customers the same....to the point I have had to get up and get my own boxes because we were flat out ignored. Tonight's order was terrible. The seafood pancake (a staple I order every single time) had 9 salad sized shrimp in the whole 8 peices (I pulled the whole thing apart), a single chopped green onion, and no squid. It was 90% breading and incredibly chewy. 0/10. The Dolsot Bipimap had 1 tablespoon of meat...literally. It was far from the standard set when they opened. I was so disappointed. I will no longer frequent this business.

By far the best Korean restaurant i had in this area. My favorite thing to order is the kimchi pork soondooboo, full of flavor and the perfect amount of spice. The galbi here is amazing to very juicy and tender. Ambiance is cozy and inviting.

Kind, delicious, and friendly staff, but seriously lacking in the ambience/decor area. The food was overall delicious. Some in my party thought the fried rice was a little salty whereas others thought it was seasoned perfectly. With that in mind, I recommend going with two to three other people to share the food order. I thought the Haemul Udon Bokkeum spicy level was low enough to enjoy. Be aware that the spicy flavor builds and increases. The more you eat the spicier the dish gets. The squid and octopus was over cooked, but the mussels were really good. I didn't care for the udon noddles and would recommend the rice cakes instead. The wait staff is very friendly and busy. Don't expect them to keep checking on you. This is something we really liked about the experience. Prices was it is around $13 - $16. I think very reasonable. We would go back to try other menu items.

It is good to be *home* where I was born and raised. Now Columbia has a lot of Korean restaurants due to military base but I still haven't found a good place that serves jajangmyeon and tangsuyuk (especially with the taste I'm used to)..but trust me I'm still in search! I came up to NC to visit my parents and scheduled dinner with one of my girlfriends. I was craving tangsuyuk and jajangmyeon so we came to Seoul garden. I already been here before so it was a no brainer. It was a Thursday night so not busy and I was seated immediately. I really wanted (more like needed) a drink but I stuck with water. I ordered my food and it wasn't even 5 minutes when it came out. I was pleased cuz when I say I was HUNGRY. it was everything I wanted. The noodles were creamy from the black bean sauce and slightly more than al dente which I prefer. Tasted like heaven. The tangsuyuk wasn't overly coated in sauce so it was still crunchy and the sauce was tangy. Every bite was perfect. Black bean sauce never looks appetizing or appealing but if people honestly gave it a try, they'd be amazed at the flavor. It is easily hands down one of my favorite Korean noodle dishes. And you can't have it without tangsuyuk. Obviously you can tell I was happy after this dinner. Please go try if you haven't already. They also have other traditional items as well like bibimbap, bulgogi, etc. Our waiter was very sweet as well and explained side dishes that my friend didn't know. It was well worth my trip home.

Galbi and Soft Tofu Seafood Soup were delicious, sticky rice perfectly cooked,, generous banchan.Very good.I recommend for quick delivery meal.

I'll go out of my way to visit any Korean place that offers eun deh gu jorim (stewed black cod dish with turnips and tofu), and this place does. Luckily, 7 of my friends were also willing to go out of their way, and we were able to have a big family style dinner and sample a bunch of different things!I'll start with the not-so-great:- Many of their dishes are unnecessarily sweet. Particularly the beef bulgogi, which has almost a sugar-candy coating.- The 'Korean BBQ' dishes really have no business being called that or costing as much as they do. At any other place, they would come out with wraps, extra fermented veggies, etc. Here it's just a tiny bowl of rice and a small plate of meat and onions - and it's in the high $20's - $30's depending on what you order.- The service was bad enough to impact our meal - usually I won't write about service because who cares, but he gave us beer bottles with no way to open them, sundubu with no spoons or serving bowls, and took almost half an hour to get the table some water. They were clearly understaffed and it wasn't wholly his fault, but still.The good:- They had one of the best haemool pajeon I've had in recent memory, really crispy, puffed, and fresh. I didn't even mind that they didn't serve it with any sauce.- Good tteokbokki. This dish can get pretty gummy and, honestly, boring after a few bites, but they kept it interesting with a light sauce and lots of cabbage and onions- What can be an oft-small, afterthought fried mackerel in other places was a behemoth, crisp, tender, meaty monster here! This side dish could have been a full meal.- Once we had spoons to eat our sundubu with, that was also delicious!

I forgot what this meal was called but The broth was so good! The customer service was also super amazing. Very sweet people and staff and amazing food!
