Reviews
We ordered the seafood pancake, mandu dumplings, galbi tang, and spicy crab soup — and everything was deeply savory and satisfying. The banchan selection was generous, and the kimchi was especially excellent — bold, flavorful, and perfectly fermented (just how I like it). They even had a pumpkin salad in the banchan lineup that was unique and surprisingly delicious.
Shoutout to our server, Jay, who was incredibly friendly and thoughtful. We were about to order japchae, and he let us know it was already part of the day’s banchan — then brought us extra. That kind of attentiveness makes such a difference.
Warm, comforting, and full of flavor — it was the perfect meal for a cozy, rainy Valentine’s Day lunch with family in Dallas. We’ll definitely be back.
This last visit was completely different. We ordered the Dallas Combo. The server brought out a platter of raw meat and just left. Normally they expertly cook and tend to the meat then cut and serve. On this visit we were left to cook and fend for ourselves. We tried to cook the first few cuts of meats but the timing was way off. Over or undercooked.
So we requested help from the staff. They said they didn’t have enough people so we had to cook the rest ourselves. We then asked them to cook the meat in the kitchen for us. They took it back to the kitchen. Then 20-25 minutes go by and nothing. So we ring the bell and have to remind them to bring our cooked meat back. They finally bring the meat platter back. All the meat is overcooked, dry and cold by now. We suspect they forgot and it was just sitting in the kitchen. Also the meat was still in huge slabs and not sliced.
At the end, the huge platter of meat was not edible because it was overcooked, then cooled off. The meat was very dry and tough like jerkey. With KBBQ timing is everything.
The Dallas combo platter was inedible and went to waste. The staff was not helpful and refused to help remake it or make any concessions. We were really expecting great Korean food based on our previous experiences here but we were hugely disappointed.
Lesson learned. Will not be back.
Unfortunately, during our most recent visit (yesterday), the quality of the meat was far from what we‘d consider premium. The short ribs no longer had that rich, tender texture we had always experienced. On a previous visit last month, the gentleman who served us cut the meat excessively small and did not grill it well, in fact too well done, and he also didn’t seem to know how to properly pack the yukhoe to-go. Overall, the experience has declined noticeably.
When the Korean ladies used to work there, there was a warm sense of familiarity. They talked with us, took great care of our table every time we visited, and it made us genuinely want to tip more because we appreciated them. Unfortunately, that atmosphere is gone now, and it feels like something we’ll never experience there again.
The interior changes were also disappointing the previously enclosed corner seating area was opened up entirely, resulting in a noticeable lack of privacy. Seoul Garden had always been a place we continued to visit because we believed the flavor alone would make up for the rest, but sadly, even that consistency seems to be gone.
Because of this, we’ve decided to try Goryeo Kalbi next door today, and the difference was significant. The restaurant was much busier, the service wasn’t that good but the quality of the premium fresh short ribs was superior, and it met our expectations.
Seoul Garden has been a place filled with memories and anticipation for us, so it’s truly disappointing to feel that we can no longer rely on receiving the premium quality meat we once enjoyed so much. I genuinely hope the owner becomes more involved and prioritizes both service and meat quality so the restaurant can return to the level it once had.
The server mixed non-marinated meat and marinated meat on the grill without asking, so what’s the point of ordering non-marinated meat? I thought that was no brainer especially for people who works in korean grill restaurant.
I don’t think I’ll ever go back nor recommend this place.
