Very quiet as no one was here eating in the minimal seating arrangements that felt a bit tight... it felt awkward for me at first, but staff was so welcoming and personable in their interactions with Jaric and me when we ordered at the front. Service was quick, too, and better than chipotle with their servings. Fish and meats were fresh, which was unexpected on my end for this place. It was such a good surprise. Plenty of parking at the square that this spot is located in. Outside seating arrangements available, too. Made for good leftovers when I went to work the next day.

I'm from California too.. The only negative thing I have about what I ate was that my bowl wasn't hot. It was warm, not hot where I'd need to cool it off. It's not a big deal for me but for some people.. they'd want it hot hot. Aside from that.. pho was great. I'd come back again if I make my way here. Ohh one more thing.. the pho isn't sweet! There were a few places that would put so much rock sugar in their broth that it ruins everything for me. So, if you like it sweet.. go find another restaurant. This restaurant made it right! (I got the pho special aka Pho Dac Biet)

It's in a small strip mall off the main drag, so you can easily pass it by without noticing it's there. That being said, their menu is huge. Their bibimbap is off the hook. I've had the spicy pork a few times and the vegetable version too. The jap-jae rolls are crunchy and delicious. Katsu bento, yum. And their Korean fried chicken bowl is so satisfying. I can't really pick a favorite because it's all so good. Again, haven't dined in here, but the place is always clean and the service seems friendly and helpful. It's a bit of a drive for me to get here, but the food is definitely worth it.

Delicious, healthy food and friendly service! I can't complain :)…read more I was in the area for errands and the name of the restaurant made me want to try out the food here. I went inside to place an order. Although initially vacant at first, the space was quickly occupied by following customers lining up after my arrival. One of the employees appeared to be taking out the trash while the other greeted me and helped me with my order when I arrived. There were various options for ordering, but I decided to go with the nori wrap. You can select a customized option or go with one of their premade choices, which lists all the ingredients inside. I was feeling seafood so I went with the Seahawk. The employee asked me if I wanted everything with it, and I asked to just sub one of the sauces with the Chipotle sauce. The portions are definitely huge and worth the pricing, because she had to double wrap my order just so it would all fit and wouldn't fall out. To pair with the nori wrap, I also ordered the original miso soup, which comes with the usual tofu and seaweed but is on the sweeter side compared to what I'm used to. I personally like it sweeter but if you don't, I probably wouldn't order it. I don't often crave healthy food, but it was fairly filling and I had a good experience, so I'll be back to try out MiSo again!

The place is clean, spacious and well layout. The menu is nice and plenty of Asian dishes, from Thai to Singapore to Vietnam to Chinese and so forth. Service is nice and attentive. Dishes came out quite fast. I am abit bias here since I'm Asian and I live in SoCal where all the Asian lives. So with that say, my dish is Vnese and nothing came close (yes I kept in mind of the fusion part) from taste to presentation l. Given that this is Yelm, therefore not much of expectation but they do have most of the dish's elements. And this apply to all dishes. It's not bad at all, my friend likes it a lot and this is her favorite place with her favorite dish of Singapore noodles...which I don't recalled that the noodle is that wet. The favor is there but it's wet, too wet in my POV. The mochi is nice and soft and chewy like and flavorful. Overall not bad, very water-fusion for my taste. Good service and nice place for sure.

Yummy food but oh so pricey! I ordered takeout through the…read morephone for my first visit because I was interested in the lunch specials that were offered. 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'm not impressed…read more Because I got hustled out of the restaurant before closing time and while I was still eating! And I don't mean that the waitress just brought my check quickly, although she did do that, too. She actually asked me to leave, "So I can go home." It was still 35 minutes before closing time when I got back into my car after packing up most of my food. (8:25 pm. They close at 9.) Which packing I did by myself. She didn't help. She hovered there at my table while I worked, immediately grabbing every dish as I emptied it. It made me so nervous that I accidentally knocked the filled to-go-box off the table while reaching for another plate of food. The box fell upside-down, spilling the still very hot food all over my lap and the floor. So I lost half of my food. And got my blouse, pants, and jacket dirty. And the wasted food was somewhat expensive for a simple Mom-and-Pop kind of place. $20 for one item plus extra for the can of Coke. I do get that all those different vegetables prepared in different ways are a lot of work. I wouldn't have minded the price if the service had been decent and if I actually got to eat all of the food. I'm sure she wouldn't have done that to a couple or a group. Probably not to a solo male diner either. And maybe not to an Asian-looking solo diner (I'm Caucasian.) And I gave her a good tip, too. Before she asked me to leave, obviously. I shouldn't have signed the check before I was finished eating. Lesson learned. I was the only customer, on a Saturday night, and the only car in the customer parking lot. That was a little alarming, even more so on a dark night in a rundown part of town. Besides feeling a little unsafe, I questioned why the place was apparently so unpopular. They had no non-alcoholic drinks on the menu except for 4 or 5 basic brands and flavors of canned soda. Served right in the can with only a straw. No glass or ice. No ice in my water glass either. No tea of any kind, not even canned or bottled. She did offer coffee (which I don't like) after asking me to leave. I guess I was supposed to gulp down boiling hot coffee while I packed up my food. No desserts on the menu, either, nor was I offered any. When I later ate the food from the to-go box, there wasn't a single piece of meat in it. There wasn't much to begin with, and it all must have gone onto the floor. Good thing I don't love meat. I'm glad I made a big mess all over the floor under the table. (But I swear I didn't do it on purpose. She certainly deserved that, but I wanted that food!) The food (I had Bibimbap) was very good. I loved all the different kinds and preparations of vegetables, and the crispy rice crust at the bottom of the stone pot. It was bland though, and no salt or soy sauce was on the table. Maybe on request. I didn't ask, because the server didn't seem to speak English very well. The restaurant does have quite a few interesting kinds of soup and fried rice, as well as bulgogi, that I'd also like to try. If I come again, I'd request tea and soy sauce, and bring my own salt packets just in case. And I'd go very early in the evening. And long before dark. But I'll try K-Kitchen (another Korean restaurant nearby) first. I've never written a restaurant review before. But I joined Yelp to post this one. People considering this restaurant need to hear this story. So should the owners and managers of the place. Although I wonder if my waitress might have been the owner. Because what employee would do that? They'd lose their job! I live in a very small town in a very remote area. Going T o an interesting restaurant like this one is a rare and very special treat for me. And my money is as good, and as hard-earned, as anyone else's. I deserved better.

The dim lighting gave a more intimate dining experience. At 7 pm, the restaurant wasn't too busy. A handful of diners and a handful of to-go orders were ready as the workers were slowly wrapping up for the night. I shared a togarashi calamari, salt & pepper tofu, and pad see ew. The calamari had a unique flavor profile with the togarashi dipping sauce. I enjoyed the portion size of the calamari. The salt and pepper tofu had a light breading with a nice crunch. Lastly, the pad see ew was not my favorite. It kind of raised red flags when there is no question on how spicy the you want the noodles. The overall taste of the pad see ew was bland and chili oil didn't help the dish much. The restaurant was cute with a variety of different Asian dishes. The price tag was a little high for my preference. I might come back if I had friends that couldn't decide on a type of food or just wanted to share appetizers.
