We heard a lot about this place and everyone said it is authentic and owned by Korean people. Of course we had to try it because we love Korean food and we are always looking for a delicious and affordable spot. It took us almost one hour to get there. The restaurant is located in an old building which makes it look a little strange from the outside, but their entrance stands out and looks totally different, so it is easy to spot. When we walked in, the inside was nicely decorated and surprisingly big. There was no wait at all and we got seated right away. One thing I really loved is that the place is run by elderly ladies. It made me feel like I was at home and they were like moms and grandmas cooking for me. They were super friendly and very kind. They have a huge menu because they also serve Korean BBQ, but it is not all you can eat. You order by plate, which can be pricey, but the quality is much better. We only ordered two meals because the food is on the pricey side, but honestly the portion sizes were enough for both of us. Their banchan was really good, and I especially liked the tofu. Here is what we ordered: • Bulgogi Hot Stone Pot Bibimbap (B5): Bibimbap served in a hot stone bowl that stays hot for about ten to twelve minutes. It keeps your food warm the whole time, which I love. • Soondooboo Combo, LA Galbi plus Seafood Soondooboo: This is listed under TC1 on the menu but I asked if I could switch it to seafood and they said yes. They are very flexible with requests. Everything came out piping hot and super fresh. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The food was amazing and the service was even better. They work together as a team and help every table, not just their own. Overall it was a great experience and we will definitely come back. I understand the high price because the ingredients, inventory, and spices are expensive, but my husband went to Korea and said dishes are much cheaper there. We just think that if the price could be a little lower it would be even better. Everything was nice and good. Happy stomach means happy

This is a great place for a business lunch. It is quiet enough to easily carry on a conversation. The Korean food is very good and the waitress may ask if you want a fork in addition to the chopsticks. I was able to manage without the fork but could use some improvement. The meals are delicious and ample, you won't leave hungry.

Seoul garden is a hidden jam even though it has been around a long time. Mrs Suzy was a really excellent host. We love this place and we’ll be back.

Haven’t been here in awhile, but was brought here for their Galbitang (short rib soup) and was surprised by how great the dish was. Friend swore this place had the best version of this dish in Houston, and I couldn’t think of a place I enjoyed more honestly. Also ask for the egg soufflé which is huge and delicious! Went back a week later with my cousin to have him enjoy it as well.
