It had some crispy outside layers and was filled with chewy seafood inside. Chap jae noodles- not bad. Well seasoned but quantities were a bit on the low end for the price. Kbbq- one order of the galbi was expensive. It was seasoned well but the quantities for 2 people were very low. Side dishes - the radishes and kimchi did not taste fresh. Atmosphere is homey. We got a booth on the side.

New Korea Garden is full of traditional dishes as well as modern takes. Has options for a few diets. The prices are pretty good and not crazy expensive like at many Asian and Korean places. Came at lunch. It's not an impressive looking place. That's the worst that can be said about this restaurant. Kind of a boring atmosphere. The food was pretty good though so whatever. It's about $14 for an entree. Maybe that sounds like a lot, but you get a lot. Entrees are mostly meaty with beef or seafood, but you can get tofu instead. They can make most of these okay for vegetarians. Each of us got the Spicy Noodle. This is buckwheat noodles in hot sauce. Additionally. this came with lots of appetizers. There was kimchi, miso soup, and lots more. For sure this is one of the best options in town for Asian. It's authentic, but it's suitable for American tastes. There's plenty of choices for meat eaters, and also many that can be made for vegans and vegetarians.

On our first visit, we weren't quite sure how to get a table and order. We ended up asking for a table at the cash register, and then making some guesses with our ordering.

I left SO full and satisfied and had literally multiple meals for a future day to bring home, and would highly recommend trying this spot.

Firstly, if you go here, do not leave without trying the fried chicken - that's not debatable. Other items that make me come back is the chicken katsu, Sotteok Sotteok and Bao Buns. They also have a Korean hot dog that's pretty decent with the soy garlic sauce. My favorite go-to is the chicken katsu, it's not the absolute best I've had but it's very close and this a hard dish to find. Grilled meat not as good as fried meat here. Beef is kinda tasteless. Sotteok Sotteok is chewy rice cakes and sausage if you've never tried it, it's like $4 - give it ago. Bringing me to my next point, this place is super affordable. If you're unfamiliar with Korean food this is an awesome place to experiment and try new things. To elaborate on my complaints, I must start with service here is very hit or miss. More than half of my visits the employees seem clueless about their responsibilities and very rarely come to check if you need anything. The little robot is cool, but you can't ask it for a refill or napkins. All is kind of funny, because you place your order at a counter so servers are really not responsible for much. Secondly, the restaurant is just so blah. Barely decorated walls, a really gross bathroom, corners/moldings are dirty. It gives hospital cafeteria, which is completely different than their hip, vibrant advertisements. All in all, I'm a fan for life but this place could use a little investment to step it up a notch.

The ordering process via ipad was easy; we just passed it around and hit the submit button at the end. The sauce bar had a lot of choices, and they had a small dessert bar as well. Overall, it's just what you'd expect so there are no hidden charges like "broth charge extra", etc like Happy Lamb. Meat and vegetable quality was good overall; fresh. Our server Mimi was on point and was great at her job, so kudos. Two things that were slightly annoying which prevented the 5 star rating were: 1) 18% gratuity for party of 5 or more; just another way to apply a price adder I guess. 2) photographer took our photos then then tried to sell us each framed picture for $20 each. A bit dear, and I would've bought them if they were $10 ea. Other than that, it's a nice place to have a meal.

My daughter wanted to try this experience for her birthday. As the Mom, I knew I'd be doing a…read moremajority of the cooking. The only place we did this before was in video games. Pros: The place was clean, the food was quality, the service fast, and friendly. Cons: Two sets of tongs for a family of four. All the sauce ingredients with no measurements on the listed recipes. I do have my own base stir-fry sauce I do at home that I was able to make. - The Sauce and tongs is why a one star deduction. The favorite was definitely the grill. Their base marinades don't need sauces. I did use my aforementioned sauce to flavor things like the plain chicken one of my kids ordered. Hot Pot: 1 Miso and 3 Toms. Two of us thought the Tom was not good. One thought it was okay. The Miso was liked... but as the youngest chose it and was randomly throwing stuff in there... Well her cooking skills need help, but that's not on them. Overall it was a better experience than I expected, even being the one to cook 90% of it. It was a good fun family outing. If/when we do this again, I'll likely ask if I can try other soup bases. Maybe using their mini sauce bowls before committing. Note: I do strongly suggest doing your homework if you are unfamiliar with this type of faire. We did. It enriches the experience. I'll likely bring a note sheet on sauce recipes. If you have more than two people, bring extra tongs. (I did ask for more, but didn't get more - Unsure if this is protocol or oops.)

I usually don't prefer thinly sliced pork over thinly sliced beef, but at this place, I definitely did. it was just such a good cut of meat and paired really well with all the side dishes. mul naengmyeon (10/10 yums): i always find this a standard order at any kbbq restaurant, and it was great! the noodles were chewy and paired well with the broth. they give you a bunch of side dishes and on the weekends, they give a braised beef banchan which was AMAZING. be aware that for kbbq to be ordered, you must pick AT LEAST 2 cuts of meat. this comes with a soy bean paste soup (one per person), and ended up being a lot of food (we had leftovers). also, i noticed that some cuts of meat had fried rice served after (i'm guessing it's probably the marinated ones), so if that is something you're interested, be sure to ask! the service was great and they cooked the meat for us. honestly, i see myself going back pretty soon, as it genuinely made me feel back at home.
