Based off recommendations we decided to try some nice hot Korean soup…read more Well... when we arrived around 5p it wasn't busy. It was located in a dimly lit strip mall, the only bright store was a boba tea store next door. When we entered there was a weather Matt propping open the second door. However, the edges were raised causing a fall risk. We were greeted by one staff member (didn't see any other one in the front). She pointed us to the corner where the high chairs were located (since we were with our toddler). We ended up sitting in the front side alcove to prevent our kiddo from running a muck. The staff rolled her eyes at us. We ordered the brisket bone soup, seafood soup, mandu and the seafood pancake. The pancake was thick and unevenly cooked. There were cold spots in the pancakes. The Mandus were steaming hot same with our soups. We were used to multiple side dishes with our means but we only got two types of kimchis. The ambience felt more like a karaoke bar than a restaurant. The water cups were dirty and the food was nothing special. Would not consider this kid friendly since the menu was limited and even though there was high chairs there was no other accommodations for young families. The service was typical Korean restaurant. Food delivered and with instruction. Was disappointed they charged us for to go containers without telling us. Maybe this is something common in Lakewood, we're not from around here so maybe we missed the memo. $0.25 a container? Would've brought my own. Overall consistent with other Korean eatery, prices more than other Asian delicacies. Service on par with past experiences. Parking sketchy but plenty of space, ambience was clubby not family oriented. Cleanliness was "ok" Food flavor was as expected, nothing to recommend as a must try.

Such a comforting soup specialty spot!…read more The space is clean, spacious, and the service is quick. * The brisket seolleongtang has a great, rich bone-broth flavor, but I do wish there were more noodles and meat. I honestly wouldn't mind if they raised the price by a dollar or two for a more substantial portion. * The yukgaejang is perfectly hearty and well-flavored. This is something I ate often growing up and it is always perfect here. * Their steamed dumplings and seafood pajeon weren't my favorites. The dumplings lacked flavor, and the pajeon had only a handful of very small octopus/squid pieces. * You only get two sides of kimchi, and they're on the sweeter side. That said, I do like the radish kimchi better than the napa kimchi.

The restaurant is easy to find, located in a plaza with other businesses, so there's plenty of parking available. I also like that their hours are posted in military time; it's a small detail, but it removes any confusion about opening and closing times. The space itself is on the smaller side, but it feels comfortable and welcoming. We arrived around 17:00 on a Wednesday and were seated quickly. Service was friendly from start to finish--menus were brought promptly, and we were asked about drinks right away (water was perfect for us). Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive without being intrusive, refilling our water and clearing dishes at just the right times. We started with the agedashi tofu to share. The broth was flavorful and the tofu was prepared well, with that soft, gooey, gelatinous consistency. While it wasn't quite my personal preference (I tend to favor a crispier texture), it was still tasty and likely ideal for those who enjoy it that way. For our main dishes, my son ordered the tonkatsu corn ramen, and I had the black garlic ramen (without bean sprouts--personal preference). This was our first ramen spot since moving to Washington, and it genuinely reminded us of a favorite place we used to visit in Sacramento. The broth was rich, creamy, and deeply savory--absolutely delicious. I especially liked that the ramen was served with a ladle instead of a standard soup spoon, which made it easier to sip more of the broth. The noodles were cooked perfectly--not too firm, not too soft--and paired really well with the toppings. My son even commented on the generous portion of noodles, which I joked was exactly what we signed up for when ordering ramen! We both finished our bowls feeling completely satisfied. The chashu and egg were highlights for me--I took my time consuming them. My only small critique is that I wish the ramen included a full soft-boiled egg instead of just half, especially with bowls averaging around $17. Overall, this was a great dining experience with flavorful food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. While I have a couple of minor preferences, I would definitely return and recommend it to others looking for quality ramen in the area.

Service was quick and attentive, they brought out our bowls and drinks in minutes. The hot pots each came with their own burner under the pot, so mind those metal handles!! Soup was incredibly flavorful and TBH I think I prefer these to the ones at Boiling Point. It's always an adventure to fish for items in the soup: notable finds included extra glass noodles, fish ball, tofu, and a block of taro. Sooooo good on a chilly day! Hot pot came with a chia-infused oolong tea, which was actually very tasty and boba-esque (but without the boba balls), I think this was promoted in an instagram post. I will be back.

I went with the Mongolian Beef and the Chili Oil Wonton. They do take cash and card, but not Military Star. The wait for the food was about 10 minutes. I was the only one there. The Mongolian beef was leaning more towards Bulgogi. The egg in it was a little over cooked but not horrible. Wish the portion was a little bigger. A lot of sticky rice and not much meat, with the meat being pretty fatty. I wasn't quite sure what to expect with the Chili Oil wontons, but I do love chili oil and I do like wontons. It came in an interesting to go container that had a separated part for the wontons to keep them out of the oil. The oil itself must have had broth added to it because it definitely was not all oil. It did not pack much heat, or flavor...imo. The small order says it contains 6 wontons, but I was shorted and only got 5. The wontons were tasty, they did not have the thick wrapper that some places do...which I liked because sometimes the thicker wrappers give the wonton a doughy taste. Being that they are relatively new and close to home and work, I would be willing to give them another try. Maybe try the curry bowl in the future...or some Pho.

Unfortunately, I was looking at an outdated menu on Yelp, so the spicy tofu soup is no longer on the lunch specials, AND if you want a "lunch special," it needs to be specified when placing the order. I assumed that because it was lunch time, I would be paying the lunch pricing? That wasn't the case when I arrived. Parking seems to only be on the same side as the barber shop (which i think is connected to the restaurant as well?). When I walked in, I didn't really check out the place. Seems like a classic no-frills Korean restaurant. An ajumma (아줌마) appeared at the register after a couple seconds (lol that is the first description that came to mind). I informed her of my phone order and she brought out the food and rang me up for around $55? I was thinking, yikes, that's a steep price for a spicy tofu soup and a lunch special of the galbi and mentioned it to her. She told me that the portion made is not the lunch special and next time, make sure to specify that over the phone if I want the Lunch special or dinner portion. She clarified, while acting out the mannerisms, of customers that would complain about the Lunch special, because they would want a dinner portion instead, so she just places general orders as the dinner portion. (I can already imagine the Karens she must have received for her reaction, which is understandable, but at the time, I was just slightly irritated since I was hoping to pay a cheaper price.) I am assuming after this experience, there is a difference in portion size for the lunch and dinner pricing.. Besides the miscommunication, I can at least say that the food was prepared quickly since it was ready by the time I arrived at the restaurant (about 15 mins after I placed the order?). With the outcast weather, I was craving some soondubu, and Seoul Garden definitely delivered! The tofu portions were generous and the broth was the right amount of spicy where you can taste the flavor but it is not overwhelming. I was not expecting so many complementary sides either! They paired very well with the rice and galbi, which was thoroughly marinated in a delectable glaze. Even though I was initially frustrated that I received the dinner portion, I calmed down after eating the galbi. My son and I actually ended up devouring it.. the food was so good, I totally forgot about the pricing at the moment. Just keep in mind though, this place is not advertised as KBBQ, so you're paying for individual plates/dishes/orders that should already be cooked. I would only recommend this restaurant if there are certain staples you really enjoy (i.e. you're only craving bulgogi but don't want to go out to eat or grill it), because it is arguably just as expensive as KBBQ. But if you're a foodie that can afford it, I'd suggest stopping by to try it out yourself! :)

I ordered the kalbi dolsot bibimbap, which seemed inexpensive and came with some complementary sides, and they were nice enough to cut my kalbi into bite-sized pieces for me.
