Overall this was a great experience and our server, Nate, made it so much better.

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.

With that said, here are things people should know: - Chinese owner who said she had Korean chef but the person cooking our food was a Chinese lady. Not sure if there is a Korean chef but honestly and as other reviews have said, the food is bland and didn't seem like a Korean cooked the banchan nor the food, see my next comment below. - As soon as I tasted my jajangmyun, I knew it was from a package because I have had it before! That's why people complain about the portions, it's because the jajangmyun that I got came from a store bought package. I also saw packets of store bought nengmyun broth in the fridge near the register. - as a Korean foodie, if you look at the menu, they sell everything! But Korean restaurants can't sell everything because a lot of Korean food including the broth based dishes require a lot of prep and boiling for hours. That's why you don't see Korean restaurants with 50 different items like this place does.

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.

Goo Goo Ma seems to have one person who works there who takes the order, cooks the food, and takes payment, He's very nice and helpful if you have questions about the food. They seem to do a lot of business but there were only a few people eating there. There was a steady stream of people coming for take out. They do have plenty of tables for people to dine in, though. They cook to order so after about ten minutes, my dinner was up. You get a very generous portion of food. There are three sides - kimchee, salad, and soup. All were great. But the main course, the DoleSote Bibimbop was delicious. The bowl is large - filled with rice, vegetables, and chicken. It was prepared very well - the stone bowl is very hot so the rice touching the bowl gets crispy, adding to the texture of the meal. In fact, it is sizzling when it's served. All in all, it was a nice experience and a wonderful meal.
