    Ban Chan
    Freddy C.

    A Taste of Seoul in the Heart of Omaha! Korea Garden absolutely nailed it with this comforting, authentic Korean spread. The moment the banchan (side dishes) hit the table, I knew I was in for a treat. Fresh kimchi, crunchy cucumbers, tender mung bean sprouts, and perfectly blanched broccoli -- all tasted homemade and balanced. Even the rice was fluffier than my expectations. Then came the galbi (marinated short ribs) -- sweet, smoky, and fall-off-the-bone tender. You could taste the overnight marinade in every juicy bite, and the char on the edges was chef's kiss. Honestly, I could've just eaten a plate of those and gone home happy. But I'm so glad I didn't, because the soondubu jjigae (soft tofu stew) stole the show. Served bubbling hot in a traditional stone bowl, it was spicy, savory, and silky with tofu, egg, and veggies. The broth had real depth, not just heat. Exactly what you want on a chilly day -- or any day, really. This meal felt like a warm hug and a flavor punch all in one. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and that unmistakable taste of home-cooked Korean food made it one of the best Korean meals I've had in the Midwest. Will definitely be back -- next time I'm bringing more friends so we can try even more dishes!

    This food was so incredibly good I almost don't want to post this review so everyone doesn't go there lol! service was great. The food was fantastic they cook the vegetables so well and I was going back for more after every bite. This has to be the best Korean food in omaha. The atmosphere was extremely chill. You can go here with family friends colleagues or by yourself. I had the beef bulgogi and dragon wings! I will be back!

    Always a fan favorite! I have been coming here since I was little with my family and will always come for the potato side dish! They just installed the bbq grills to the tables and a lot of the service went towards a big table using the grill.

    Visiting from Hawaii. We were the first customers there for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. Being from Hawaii, my Asian palate was craving Korean food and so glad we decided on this place. My husband and I ordered our usual dishes we get at a Korean restaurant: Kimchee jigae, Kimchee fried rice and I asked for an extra fried egg, galbi, and japjae. The soup was delicious. Tofu and pork were soft and soup was not too spicy. The galbi meat also tender and flavorful. It went great with the Kimchee fried rice. That was also packed with meat and flavor. The japjae was smoky and not sweet. The banchan (side dishes) were fresh and crunchy. Overall my husband and I were happy with our meal. Since we were the only ones there the service was prompt and friendly. The ambiance of the restaurant has a fun Korean theme and since I'm a K-pop fan loved the music. Lol If you are looking for a great authentic Korean meal, check this place out.

    Ambiance is overall no frills. Causal and clean with plenty of room. Service was quick and helpful and food came out very quickly. Food was good! I've never been to Korea but overall tasted as authentic as I could imagine. Loved the side dishes that came prior to our meal. The kimchi and cucumbers were fantastic. We ordered shrimp shumai as an app and it was delicious and came with way more pieces than expected which is always nice. My Husband really enjoyed his meal and felt like it was very flavorful. I ordered the bibimbap and I thought it was ok. Felt like the dish overall could have had more flavor but overall was good. I plan to return to try other dishes.

    Trying some Korean fare before in Omaha. Ordered barley tea (barely), wanted tteokbokki, but no guarantee it wouldn't be too soft, so we skipped it. Also ordered the large kimbap and the 32 ounce kimchi, japchae with chicken and kimchi jjigae less pork meat. $64.71. The barley tea is good as expected. The kimbap are very small rolls and pieces heat and are mostly rice, that's the biggest way to skimp out and charge $17 for 16 tiny kimbap bites, that's ridiculous. Quite fishy tasting from the Krab. Overpriced for what you get. We asked for a side of sriracha and they gave us enough to dip maybe 6 single pieces of the kimbap in it. We asked for more sriracha and they filled the same ramekin with more, since it had little bits of the black sesame in the sauce from the kimbap. The bamchans must only come out with the meal, that's usually first out at most Korean restaurants, then again this is an Asian fusion restaurant. The Kimchii isn't that good, not super fresh and the flavor doesn't do much for me. The japchae was okay, not a lot of potato noodles or chicken, but a decent amount of veggies. The kimchi jjigae wasn't so good, since the kimchi itself was so-so.

    I'm not gonna lie, my expectations were low. I wasn't expecting Korean food in Omaha to be anything special... but I was proved wrong! Everything was so delicious and the flavors were spot on. There is ample parking and the restaurant even has a drive-thru. Bibimbap: no complaints! Rice with mixed veggies and meat with spicy sauce Jajang Myeon: came with a lot of extra veggies in it and the sauce was really good. We asked for extra noodles so ours was on the dry side. But it usually comes with a good sauce to noodle ratio Jam Bong: this was my favorite dish we ordered. I have a very low spice tolerance so I asked for it to be less spicy. And I was still struggling a bit but I couldn't stop eating bc it was so good! Appetizers: shrimp tempura and chicken wings (not pictured) were both solid choices if you want a snack before you start your meal.

    Korea Garden is a foodie experience like no other!!! They are bringing back their BBQ tables so definitely go check them out!! The owners and staff were extremely so helpful and so nice and they make such amazing delicious food. The ribeye and the prime rib were so tender and paired so well with their in-house sauce you have the option of dipping it. Also, cannot forget the kimchi, jalapeños, and salad that was also with it! The Tokpokki was so good as well and tasted so amazing with the fish cakes. There's lots of parking on front and of course tables inside for your KBBQ experience!! It is so nice inside and very cool to cook your meat right in front of you! Very great quality meat I may add! Additionally received grilled shrimp that was so perfectly charred and tasted sooo good as well. The bibimbap came out steaming with the egg on top and tasted sooo good with the rice and the meat and everything all together! Definitely recommend getting that!! The potstickers were amazing to try as well and loved the dumpling sauce that came with it! There was so much food and everything was so amazing! Such a cool experience and the food was outstanding! Left extremely full and I cannot wait to come back! Such a great local place to get unique amazing food with great company!!

    The minute you walk in you are greeted from everyone, I loved that. We were seated promptly and ordered right away. We ordered the egg rolls and crab Rangoons for starters. TI ordered the kimchi fried rice it was good but not what I was looking for and my friend ordered the beef bulgogi which was SOOOO GOOOD!!! everything was made to order and perfect!!! 8/10 recommend

    I enjoyed Korea Garden for a bit, but the novelty of it being one of few Korean spots in Omaha wore off. My boyfriend and I dined in and paid ~$40 for a Bulgogi for two, and it included the beef bulgogi meat, sides (kimchi pancake, kimchi, potatoes, cucumber), and lettuce, and bowl of rice for each of us. While we remember the portions for the platter being much more a couple years back and even last year, we noticed the restaurant's been stingy with its portion sizes, which isn't worth the $40 price tag for us personally. The waitress was helpful, however the ambience was a bit jarring as kpop music played glaringly loud in both our ears. With Japanese Koen BBQ building in Omaha soon, I hope this restaurant can improve its service, food, and environment swiftly to keep up with the growing diverse food scene in Omaha. However, if you simply cannot wait to eat Korean food for a more decent price, I recommend Korean Grill at 1408 Harlan Dr.

    How spicy is the kimchi jiggae and kimchi fried rice and the dragon wings? Like 1-jalapeño? Like I love kimchi stew ramen and it's not that spicy I love gochugaru but the reviews make it sound like it's habanero hot

    This place is so gross now and it's depressing. I LOVED this place back when the stern older Korean…read morelady was running it. The food was always fresh no matter what time of day you showed up, and it was consistently yummy. This place got me through the 1st trimester of my pregnancy in 2019. For some reason I forgot to upload my photos, but I think you can see from my photos the differences too! We went here all the time living in Bellevue. Skip forward to 2025 and I drove across town to here here again craving some good Korean food. Oh how sad I was. The newer photos are from August 2025. I arrived at the end of what should have been the lunch rush but the food was obviously old. Not to mention basically cold. The only truly hot thing was the crab rangoon I got instead of an egg roll (my request). The food is no longer good. Apparently the older lady retired and sold to someone else. They claim to be using the same recipes, but it doesn't taste the same. Everything seems more sugar and bland at the same time. The sesame potatoes, which were my favorite thing here, are gross now. The cucumber kimchi is SWEET. It isn't supposed to be sweet y'all. Everything seems extra "Americanized" now. The portions are still huge, but the price now matches it. There are better and more authentic Korean restaurants in Omaha than this place now. Hard pass. I hope she's enjoying her retirement at least; she earned it!

The galbi short ribs were tender, cooked fresh and had a nice beefy flavor. The jajang is an udon noodle bowl topped with a black soy gravy, diced pork, onion and veggies. This was a very umami dish and we liked it a lot. The shu mai came with shredded cabbage topped with an orange-pink French or Catelina style dressing which we liked too. All the banchan was made in-house. We got fish cake, cucumber, Napa kimchi, red daikon, white daikon, and jalapeño onion. We thoroughly enjoyed the banchan. The price point may seem a little high compared to the former Korea King, but the portion size made us feel like we just a Thanksgiving meal. . This is a family owned business. Dad cooks in the back.

Never soggy chips, doused in beans, protein (if you choose), cheese, sour cream, and so so good. Much smaller portion the Benson local and that's perfect for us.
