    Bibimbap lunch special
    Kathleen S.

    We enjoyed two lunch specials at Korean Garden after a visit to Mass MOCA. The bibimbap and ramyun in spicy broth were both solid. I especially liked the freshness of the vegetable ingredients in the bibimbap. I also liked the four banchan, including bean sprouts, lettuce kimchi, spicy zucchini, and broccoli. The ramyun noodles were chewy, and the broth had just the right amount of spiciness. The portions were moderate, and the service was, well, serviceable. It appeared that the restaurant is run by a two-person couple team. Things were busy during the lunch hour, so I didn't get a smile out of the staff or any water refilling. But the food was more than adequate. The menu is quite broad with Korean, Japanese, and Thai options.

    Stopped here for lunch before heading back to CT on a Sunday afternoon. The service was excellent and the food was as well. We got the pork bulgogi and the hot stone bi bim bap with chicken.

    5-star food for the area. I feel like the food got better when they moved out of North Adams. This recent trip i got steamed mandus, tofu teriyaki and beef bulgoki. Everything was phenomenal. The banchan was also quality. Definitely a preferred fav in the area!

    2.5. Nothing special. Food doesn't particularly have a lot of flavor which is unfortunate and disappointing. Nice menu selection, everyone can definitely find something they like. Inside is small and janky. Service is abrupt and a little slow. Probably wouldn't come again but there also isn't much else in the area to be honest.

    We arrived maybe 45mins before they closed for lunch at 3 (seems they're closed 3 to 4 every day). Nice simple interior and good, fast service. They served everything quickly but it didn't feel like they were rushing us. Still would be nice if the closure time was on Google or Yelp. I thought the food was delicious. I got the Kimchi Bokum which was like pan fried kimchi and pork. Not much pork but I didn't mind much. The bento box was also good and had interesting variety. My mom got the sweet potato noodles which were good but didn't have a super flavorful sauce. Still I thought the food service and everything else was great and the price was reasonable.

    Korean Garden - A Hidden Gem in The Shire Korean food has always been one of my go-to cuisines when hunger strikes. But let's be honest--finding a great Korean spot can be tough in some areas. So imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon Korean Garden, a true hidden gem tucked away in The Shire. As usual, I walked in absolutely starving and ready to indulge. We were warmly greeted by a sweet ajumma at the door and seated by the front window. The place was small and cozy, with only a handful of tables--just the kind of spot that usually means home-cooked goodness. I ordered my usual favorites: Galbi, Bulgogi, and Spicy Udon Soup. My Korean came in handy and made ajumma smile when I told her I had lived in Munsan for a few years. She lit up, introduced herself and her husband, and we had a lovely chat. I mentioned I'd be relocating to The Shire soon and that they'd be seeing a lot more of me. The banchan came out first--and wow, we got a generous variety. They even asked if we'd like refills (dangerous question for someone like me). Each one was fresh and flavorful--if I wasn't careful, I could have emptied their fridge. When our mains arrived, everything looked (and tasted) amazing. The portions were big enough that I needed a takeout bag--which means lunch tomorrow is covered too! I'll definitely be back. Warm, soulful food. Kind, welcoming owners. Cozy atmosphere. Just the kind of comfort you need when living near the mountains.

    After being in what feels like a food desert for the last couple months, I was so excited to finally have some real food towards the end of my time in the Berkshires. Korean Garden provided that comfort food feel that I really craved. The service was okay, but food came out quick. The food was pretty good, nice and hot, and just the right portion I was looking for. Definitely douse it in sriracha though. Wish I would have discovered this place earlier!

    Hands-down, the best Asian restaurant in all Berkshire County. I drive 35 minutes often just to come here. The food is absolutely fantastic.

    Bulgogi
    Lloyd M.

    The Bulgogi was excellent and very tasty. We stopped up here on our way to Mass MOCA because of the good reviews and wanted to see if the food matched the reviews... And it definitely does... Highly recommend for lunch. Great luncheon special.

    Tasting everytime before your meal. Everything was delicious and the second time there was something different!

    This place is itty bitty with all of maybe 5 tables and boy is catching a seat a steal. The service is amazing and the food follows suite. Authentic Korean always hot and full of flavor. My go to order is the hot stone bi bim bap with pork and receiving it at the table makes me feel like Im in a studio ghibli film. Would definitely suggest for anyone unafraid to try new flavors especially in the small tasting dishes before the meal. Looking forward to trying more dishes!

    Vegetarian kimchi ji- gae!!!  Very delicious

    They were able to make the Kimchi ji-gae vegetarian, which is very hard to find. The flavors were bright and delicious and mild spicy! So excellent! Kind service. Relaxed atmosphere.

    Is there a phone number to call for takeout, or a website with a menu?

    Is this place still open? Visited 11/28 and no one was here... phone line doesn't connect. We checked google and yelp for opening hours

    They're in the process of moving & renovating their new location in Williamstown, so as of 12/10/2020 they were still not open yet at the new spot.

    Poke means "sliced" in Hawaiian. It describes the diced, marinated raw fish dish. The Capital…read moreRegion is fortunate to have a number of good poke restaurants. This one also has an assortment of ramen, noodle bowls and bubble teas. "Hawaii" is a chain with a remarkably large menu. I came in for poke but wound up with a rice noodle bowl, instead. Orders are placed at the counter just like a fast food joint but this isn't really fast food. Most of the food is actually made to order. The staff is really patient. They'll help you navigate the massive menu with many options. If you're dining in they'll bring your orders to your table. I picked thin rice noodles with spicy miso broth and pork belly. I also asked for most of the free toppings and the free hard boiled egg. The pork belly turned out to be a fatty cut. That was on me. Next time, I'll order BBQ pork l,instead. As for that "spicy" broth, they mean it. Next time, I'll also ask for a little less heat in my broth. Still, was a delicious meal which was prepared just for me. I added a large Lycee slushie to my order. It was pretty good but too large. I have to go medium next time. I couldn't finish the meal. I took it home and ate it again for breakfast the next day (I have a cast iron stomach and can eat spicy breakfasts). If this business is part of a chain where are the other restaurants? The manager said most are on Long Island. The Castleton restaurant is the only one in the Capital Region and the restaurant is largely a family-run operation. It's clean, bright, very modern and cute. There's cute wall art. Some illuminated. Others are wallpaper depicting food, pandas and the Chinese god of wealth. This is one of those places with a menu so large that you can keep coming back and not have the same meal twice.
