This raw fish over rice and spring mix was delicious, a little on the pricey side. The Bulgogi fries were super delicious. There was a hint of sweet in this dish so it wasn't just cheese topped bulgogi. The jalapenos packed a little bit of punch but perfectly proportioned. My husband enjoyed his Dolsot Bibimbap. Every dish was presented well. It looks like a popular late night place for young people. I would come back. Note: the location was a little tricky as it appears to be at a corporate park.

Bonus is they have lots of seating, so great for large groups! We ordered the seafood pancake, donkatsu, and tofu soup.

The owner was super sweet as well and kept refilling our water which was a good sign. Overall a really solid meal and a great place to stop if you're looking for hearty Korean comfort food in Cary.

It was enough for two meals for me, and the price is reasonable! ($13 for the entree, $2 for extra rice) The wait staff is always really nice. All around good vibes here! Edit: when my boyfriend and I came in at 5:30pm on a Sunday night, the service and food were both impeccable. We will likely come more often due to this! The kalbi jjhim is fantastic. The meat was very tender, and the sauce is so flavorful. The only reasons I put down four stars for service was the most recent time we visited, our servers were relatively inattentive. The atmosphere is nice, but the temperature in the restaurant is always just a little too cold. The pork bulgogi lunchbox is well worth the price! I love the way they season the bulgogi, although it is on the saltier side.

We've been to Seoul Garden several times over the last 8 years…read more It's always an enjoyable, relaxing time. The staff is very friendly and helpful. This time we opted for the BBQ, and chose Bulgolgi and Kalbi. Both were excellent, and the portions were good. But what really stand out are the multiple unlimited side dishes: Kimchi, daikon, sprouts, macaroni salad, tofu, broccoli salad. Every side dish was very tasty. I'm not even a fan of Kimchi (I often find it to have awful texture and bland). However, here it was firm and tasted great. So, I highly recommend Seoul Garden. Every experience is consistently a relaxing and enjoyable one with really good food.

Dining room was more than half empty at 12:30 Sunday afternoon. We were asked if we were doing kbbq & when we said no, we were told that it was a 30-45 minute wait. The excuse was that they had a super busy Saturday & the kitchen is still trying to catch up. I get that they're trying to push everyone onto their ayce kbbq menu but that was the lamest excuse ever. Don't you prep early to get the pars set for the day? It is less work for them to do kbbq since the cooking is done at the table but this left a bad impression. It's clear that they don't value potential customers.

Grabbed lunch from here recently and enjoyed myself!…read more The staff were polite and helpful throughout the meal. My wife and I ended up splitting the kimchi pancake as an appetizer, and we both got the beef bibimbap for our entrees. We didn't end up getting any interesting beverages this time, but there were a few draft and bottled beers available as well as soju, sake, and other variations of alcohol :) Anyway, our kimchi pancake arrived pretty quickly, and it was very tasty! I liked how the green onion was integrated throughout, and the dipping sauce was very flavorful. It looked like it may be a bit spicy but in fact was sweet-ish :) Our bibimbaps arrived soon after, served in hot stone bowls. In addition, they provided six different small side dishes, all of which were very tasty! I really enjoyed the variety, as they ranged from pasta salad to kimchi. Honestly, the bibimbap was maybe my least favorite part of the meal, which surprised me. It wasn't bad at all, with plenty of tasty veggies included, but it didn't blow me away. Maybe I should have added more of the bottled sauce they provided :) Overall, we both really enjoyed our lunch at Okja and would definitely come back!

We also got the: - Seafood Pancake (crispy flour pancake with squid, shrimp, crab meat & scallions): Definitely my favorite dish- perfectly crispy and simultaneously fluffy, lots of well-cooked seafood. - Tang Soo Yook (battered deep fried pork, drizzled in sweet & sour sauce): I've never had this dish before, but I will admit I imagined it a bit different. It was more batter forward so the pork did get lost, but the batter itself was super chewy and almost tapioca-like, which was interesting. I liked the sauce, but I wish it came separately for dipping as the pork did lose its crunch. - Bi-Naeng (cold buckwheat noodles with pickled daikon, cucumber, pear, hard boiled egg, beef & spicy sauce): So refreshing! Loved the chew of the noodles and how complementary the spicy sauce was with the sweet pickled toppings. The beef was on the tough side with not a ton of flavor though. Ambiance is really nice and spacious, there are two sides: one with the bar and booths, another with wooden benches. Service was surprisingly fast. Lots of parking. 8/10 would recommend!

I was good with that because the food was delicious and such good value. Shared 3 dishes between 3 people: seafood stew, ddeokboki, and spicy LA galbi. Loved all of the dishes, all delicious with substantial quantity and amount of veggies. Perhaps what stood out the most was the ddeokboki since that's the best value dish I've ever seen at any restaurant--large in quantity that doesn't shy away in the amount of mix-ins (fishcake, cabbage, green onions, etc). Definitely will be keeping this place in mind for the next time I'm in the area.
