Went back several more times… as a small family eating usually a seafood pancake, kalbi, and cold noodle, generally we save $ 15 – 20 eating here than some of the other korean places. Food tastes reasonable(although I’ve never drooled or daydreamed about their food). Maybe the reasonable food with fairly cheap prices is why most of the patrons are actual korean families here for full family dining…

The 1+1 special combo is so cheap yet tasty and satisfying. The combo comprises of 1 kind of soup and 1 kind of bulgogi or grilled fish. There are also other regular Korean dishes like seafood pancake, stone bowls, kalbi, etc.

I have no idea if this Korea Garden has any relation to the Korea Garden that used to be in the neighboring Pinetree Plaza, but the fact is that the old location was my de facto go-to for Korean food. I went there on almost a weekly basis, for table-top Korean barbecue and/or hot tofu soups. Needless to say, I was excited when I drove past the new location, and couldn’t wait for the opportunity to get to try them out. As mentioned, the new location is neighboring the plaza in which they used to reside in, if it is in fact the same Korea Garden. Which is to say that it’s conveniently close to the Buford Highway exit off of I-285, so you don’t have to expect to drive miles and miles combing through signs that aren’t in English to find them. They have substantially less parking than the old location, since they’re not a part of a shopping center, and I can imagine that it’s potentially problematic, especially if the neighboring plaza are sticklers about parking for Korea Garden and not their businesses. Entering the new Korea Garden is somewhat of a pushing the brakes kind of experience; as a whole, the space is larger, better lit, kind of quiet, and kind of sterile feeling. It’s certainly a far cry of the old location’s dingy carpet with countless holes and burned marks from where stray bits of charcoal were dropped and melted on the ground. Don’t get me wrong, there’s little wrong with clean, well-lit and spacious, but it’s definitely lacking in the character department. Service was still friendly, and willing to communicate and accommodate my non-Korean companions, which I actually feel the need to state such, as I’ve been to many places that amazingly don’t, in this day and age. We were seated promptly, and given the choice between hot barley tea or ice water. The biggest shocker for me though was the fact that at least where I was seated, there were no tabletop grills. I’m not sure if other seats have them, or if they supplied tabletop burners to grill on upon ordering, but from what I was hoping to see, there were no tables with charcoal pits built into them that would imply the promise of sweet, savory tabletop K-bbq grilling. At this point, my friends and I had an uncomfortable conversation about pondering on whether or not we should bolt without ordering anything, seeing as how I had put ideas of tabletop grilling into their heads, only to discover that such wouldn’t be an option. But being the overly polite folks we are not wanting to make anyone feel put off and utterly shunned, we decided to stick around and see what was up; AKA the waitress came back, and it was too late to bail. For what it was worth, the quality of the food was still good. Among the things ordered were the pajoon(appetizer veggie seafood/pancake), bulgogi and japchae, as well as some hot tofu soup. Everything tasted good, and to my general standards of Korean food, and they weren’t stingy with the banchan, which is always a good thing in my book. As for the test of «would I bring my parents here,» I’d probably say no, because my mom would swear she would know of a Korean restaurant where the price points were lower, the quality higher, and the service slightly friendlier. Overall, the location is convenient, the quality of the food is still above average, and the service is friendly. I’m finding it hard to discern what’s considered«good» for prices on Korean food, seeing as how they’re all kind of trending upward, but for what it’s worth, three people ate well for a little over $ 50. But the almost uncomfortably quiet atmosphere(perhaps it was just the particular day I came), and the devastating lack of tabletop grilling were kind of deal-breakers for me. Korean dining isn’t just the quality of the food as much as it’s the experience, and the new Korea Garden is unfortunately a little lacking in providing it. Three stars tops, for quality of food, good service, and general convenience of location, but it’s hard to say that it’s remotely the place I once held with great fondness in the past.

This was the best Korean food we have had in a while. The banchan was fresh and the bibimbop was incredible — perfectly spiced! The soybean soup was again perfectly seasoned and the vegetable green onion pancake was tasty with the most incredible sauce. Highly recommended.

The squid bi bim bap is really really good! The place is big, but the 2 times I’ve been has been really quite. Once Saturday for lunch and once Friday for dinner. The side dishes are good and fresh and I’ve came twice to get the squid bi bim bap. Good choice for large groups because there’s a lot of seating.

New owners so decided to give it another try. Came for lunch and dinner. The bento box options are decent in taste and value. The dinner combo for family is pretty cheap and can feed 4 people although in terms of taste, it’s mediocre. I still prefer So Kong Dong which is across the street.

So today I’m back with my family. I immediately noticed changes. Service definitely was more attentive. They got everything we’ve asked for. Only downside is there is no ice in ice water. Food gotten better. We didn’t leave the restaurant feeling hungry like last time. They gave us free kimpab so that was a plus. Overall, it was good.

I had a decent experience here. I came with a part of six and we ordered their combo c meal, a tofu soup and galbi combo, and their galbi bibimbap. Their strongest suite is their service. Incredibly attentive despite the fact that they were severely understaffed. We were never in need for anything and it was fast. The food was acceptable. They were missing some of the trademarks that distinguish the great Korean restaurants. The galbi was just okay — not amazing. The banchan lacked some of the variety or flavor. The interior is clean, if not a bit unsettling. It’s bright and sanitary. There is an awkward transition from outdoor to indoor. But those are small gripes.

what an improvement from the previous Korea garden! I was hesitant to try this place due to the previous Korea garden, but I’m so glad I did. my cousin, straight from the motherland and who is very picky when it comes to food, told me it was good. if she said it was good then I had to try it for myself. from the outside you would think it’s a hole in the wall, but don’t judge a book by it’s cover. it was very clean and nicely renovated on the inside. they had all the common Korean dishes on the menu such as various soups, pork bulgogi, beef bulgogi, steamed pork, different kinds of bibimbap, combos, etc. the hubs and I ordered dduk mandoo guk and the pork bulgogi/daenjang jjigae combo. yum yum! the dduk mandoo guk had a rich beef bone broth and was perfectly seasoned. there was plenty of dduk and four nice sized, meat and chives mandoo, which was made in house and NOT prepackaged. my kids loved it. the pork bulgogi had good flavor, a good balance between salty, spicy, and sweet. mmm… I can taste it as I write. my favorite was the daenjang jjigae. Daenjang jjigae is my go to comfort food. I grew up on daenjang jjigae made from my grandmother’s daenjang. you know it’s good when it comes from grandma. so I am very picky when comes to daenjang jjigae. this was a close second to grandma’s daenjang jjigae. it had just the right amount of daenjang, plenty of tofu and veggies, a good ratio of soup to veggies, and a nice little kick to it. I will be going here for daenjang jjigae cravings. the banchan was tasty, especially the cucumber kimchee. the dishes tasted very clean. it didn’t leave a lingering aftertaste in my mouth. the prices were reasonable and comparable to other Korean restaurants(lunch prices are better). the portions were generous. I was able to split the dduk mandoo guk four ways, and my hubs and I could not finish the pork/daenjang jjigae combo between the two of us. lastly, the service was friendly, attentive, and fast. I may have found a new favorite Buford hwy Korean restaurant. next time I’ll try going for lunch.

Honestly, this wasn’t very memorable. I brought my parents here because they wanted tofu soup. There was no parking at So Kong Dong, and after a few failed circles of the tiny parking lot, we ventured across the street to Korea Garden. I hadn’t been and neither had my friends, so we figured it may be fun to see what exactly was across the street… I remember getting some daeji bugolgi(4) would be yum. And it really was! Spicy but flavorful. Definitely worth the price, since prices here are HEAVENLY… heavenly low. SO good. I’m not sure how much my parents enjoyed their dishes. My mom got a tofu soup, and I have no idea what my dad got(don’t remember at all…) maybe I“ll give it another try when So Kong Dong’s parking lot is full: P

Korea Garden is not the best Korean restaurant in Atlanta, however it is far from being the worst. Opening early this year, I found out about the restaurant through a friend. It occupies the space next to Café Mozart inside the perimeter on BufHy. I like this place for many reasons, however the best are on the second page of the menu — the daily specials. I’ve tried about half of them and for the money they are all exceptional. These specials are designed to be a draw due to pricing and quality, and I really dare you to find a plate that includes bulgogi(shaved, marinated beef), rice, pickles, a salad and orange slices for $ 8.50 — try finding something similar for less than $ 10 even. The galbi is slightly more but still less than $ 9 and most of the soups are in the $ 6 – 7 range. Speaking of soups, besides the bulgogi in the Bulgogi Bento Box, you also get miso soup, about 8 – 10 banchan and sometimes steamed egg — all for the same price. I love bringing people here for the first time during lunch. I start with one or two from work, and suddenly when people find out that we’re coming to Korea Garden they all want to come too — just a couple of days ago we were a party of 8. And really, that’s what Korean food is all about — eating family style and trying everything. I’ve now eaten at this Korean restaurant dozens of times with no decrease in the quality of food. The banchan is particularly good at this restaurant — not the«thrown together» cheap stuff you usually see, the quality is quite good at Korea Garden. I haven’t tried everything but it’s all been great with just a couple of exceptions: 1. If you’re not familiar with Korean food, try the Beef Bulgogi or Galbi Bento boxes(both are beef) — slightly sweetened marinated meats, tender and delicious. 2. My next go to item is the Yukejang — a beef pot soup(ask for it spicy) that comes with chucks of meat, masses of enokitake mushrooms, veggies and sweet potato noodles(japchae). Note that it’s mislabeled as «Korean sausage soup» on the menu — no sausage in there. 3. Surprisingly, my next favorite on the menu is the spicy pork bulgogi. 4. The pancakes here are exceptional — both for the quality(thick!) and the size. You can get a small veggie pancake here for less than $ 4 that will easily help fill up 2 people. We had them make us up a kimchee pancake and we were disappointed(it’s not a regular menu item) — the kimchee was chopped up fine and the pancake too think — growing up my mother would put fairly large pieces in there and flatten it a bit more — what they made for us was doughy and not spicy enough. 5. Bibimbap — I love this dish but don’t care for it too much here — I’m not quite sure why(it might be the iceberg lettuce). With this dish you basically pour hot sauce(gochujang) over everything and mix together, either in the bowl or in your mouth. I think I prefer this as a hot dish(dolsot) rather than cold, but it can be very refreshing as a cold dish when it’s horribly hot and muggy outside. 6. Kimchee Jjigae — I’ve been searching for some time for a good Kimchee Jjigae — it’s good here but still not what I’m looking for. Seems like I’m always looking for that combination of flavors that mom produced in her cooking. 7. The staff here are really, really sweet. I’m not sure if it’s all the same family, but that’s the feeling I get being here. Please be patient with them — their English isn’t exceptional and I can tell that they’re really trying to make the place work(meaning that they’re a bit understaffed). Location: Next to Café Mozart on the left headed South, about 1.5 miles inside the perimeter on Buford Hwy. They don’t currently take AmEx(most of the restaurants on BufHwy don’t). When you’re finished eating go next door for coffee and one of the fabulous fried, red-bean filled donuts they have at Mozart.

Korea Garden is the newest entry in Buford Highway’s Korean food competition. While there is no staged competition like you might find on a food channel reality show, competition for customers on Buford is very real indeed. Korea Garden will have its it’s work cut out for it to cut into the business of some of the other well established, and in my opinion much better Korean restaurants. We ordered a couple of tofu soups and a Bibimbap to share. The banchan, or side dishes were great. Banchan included kimchi, peppers, celery, radishes, cucumber. The kimchi was fresh, the sweet cucumbers were tasty. As for the soups, they were bland and lacked any depth, and with zero spice. The bibimbap also lacked seasoning and taste, and was just a boring plate. Overall the food seemed«Meh» at best. My suspicion is that there are not actual Korean cooks in the kitchen, and that they may have some industrious interns from Central and South American learning the trade. Definitely not«Iron Chef» material. Prices were very good. The best thing about Korea Garden was not found on the menu, it was the service. It is the one thing Korea Garden offers that beats out every other Korean restaurant on Buford Highway. The servers here were friendly, fast and checked back often. Only time will tell if Korea Garden has what it takes to win Kimchi Wars, or if it will ultimately be «Chopped».

Ahh, so the«UYE Wizard» Daniel B. does it again( )! We get to venture to Buford Highway for a somewhat new Korean Restaurant just inside the perimeter. The event started 7:30ESTPM. I arrived there around 7:30CST. Oops. As I was arriving, I realized the parking lot(which is also attached to a bakery, a chicken shack, and a few other shady businesses) was full, so I proceeded to park in the far back of the building. Whatever, what the hell– I parked in between some«lines». As I walked up to the doors, right in front of me it looked like at least 20 other people for the event in the 2 main tables, right in the middle of the restaurant. We took up a few tables :) I did at least have extra room, as I sat on the end where other stragglers would have potentially sat. I could tell the other table(which had probably 12 people) was about finished eating, and the table I was sitting at, was just getting food. I noticed there were a few water pitchers and barley tea were on the table. It looked like beer was out of the question that dinner. The server told me they didn’t have their license. I saw a gentleman at our table eating a bulgogi box– and for $ 8.95, I was tempted. So I went ahead and put in that order. Believe it or not, the food came out quick. In fact, quicker than someone who was sitting there long before I arrived– as she unfortunately never got her food! I felt kind of bad, as I kept devouring my bulgogi box. The meat was decent– at least hot. There was a salad that looked like it has potential, but the dressing looked like a dribble. I needed more. There was also some rice with the dish, as long as some miso soup. I completely ignored the yellow baby veggies(maybe radish?) thingys. For $ 9, it was still a decent value. I had no idea if there was dessert there or not, but we all decided to grab something sweet next door, at Mozart Bakery. It was a fun time, and I got to meet a lot of new people, and get to see a lot of friends. Thanks Daniel for introducing me to this place! Consider this a high 3 star review.

I’m not a Korean food expert by any means — in fact, it’s one of the Asian cuisines I’m least familiar with. But of the little bit of bulgogi, Korean BBQ and bibimbap, I’ve had, I’ve liked it and wanted to try more. So last night, Daniel B. was kind enough to organize a UYE on Bufford Highway for a new Korean restaurant that had opened up: Korea Garden. This was my first UYE, so I was really excited about it and the turnout looked good — in all we had about 20+ people show up. We were seated at two adjacent tables in the middle of the large dining room, and were the dominating force all evening. Aside from our group, only about 2 or 3 other couples drifted in for dinner that night. Service was lacking — even though Daniel had told them our group would be large, there were just two waitresses taking orders and serving us. Food came out piecemeal and Joy’s entrée order was forgotten entirely. Luckily, her appetizer and bites from other’s meals kept her from keeling over. And it took quite a while for us to get our checks too — I guess that happens when there’s a language barrier between most of the patrons and the staff. I got to try a good deal of different things due to our big group: the customary banchan appetizers(kimchi, bean sprouts, green veggies, seaweed salad, fish cake, etc), seafood pancakes, kimchi pancakes, fried dumplings, the large dak-dori-tang my boyfriend and I split and a bite of nakji bokum. The appetizers were good(although based on the size of our groups the serving sized could have been a wee bit larger), and the dumplings were crispy but bland(the soy sauce served with them really added to the flavor). I tried a bite of the seafood and kimchi pancakes — both were ok — maybe a little doughy though. The nakji bokum(octopus) was tasty, and the dak-dori-tang(a large, large spicy stew of bone in chicken, potatotes, onions, and carrots with rice on the side) was quite spicy, hot and tasty. We split it and still couldn’t finish the whole thing — I enjoyed the flavor though, if not the bones and skin of the chicken. Portions for everything were pretty large — a few people got take home boxes afterward, and the company was excellent. Prices were reasonable too — most dishes were around $ 10 — $ 12, with a few of the larger dishes or specialties in the $ 20 — $ 30 range. I really enjoyed this UYE, and I’m looking forward to attending more in the future — Unilocalers are such a fun group to eat with.

Long ago, there used to be a Korea Garden in Buford Hwy. It was part of the«garden» family of Korean restaurants: Seoul Garden, Korea Garden, and Asiana Garden. I don’t know if they were all owned by the same people. I’m also not sure if this Korea Garden is owned by the same people who owned the original Korea Garden. I had a chance to come here for Daniel B’s UYE(Unofficial Unilocal Event). So I decided to go and see what was up. The space looks huge. They sat 20 of us comfortably. It was dead though. It seemed like we were the only ones there. I tried a couple items off the menu: the nakji bokum(hot, spicy, stir fried octopus), Hae Jang Guk(congealed ox blood soup), kimchee pancake, and others. Like all, good Korean restaurants, they brought out the side items. They all tasted decent. They had good variety and flavors. The kimchee pancake tasted okay. It was just an average pancake you can get anywhere at other Korean restaurants. I didn’t get much kimchee flavor out of it either. It felt greasy and overcooked. We ordered a large. And that can feed about 5 people. I suggest getting the regular size. I didn’t like the Hae Jang Guk. The broth didn’t have the nice, spicy, rich, beefy flavor I was looking for. It tasted weak. The nakji bokum tasted okay. I liked how they had rice cakes hidden inside there. I thought that was a nice touch. I didn’t love it though. But I preferred this over the Hae Jang Guk I got. The mandu(fried dumplings) didn’t taste very good. I didn’t seem to have much meat inside them. It was also very bland. I guess I should’ved dipped them in soy sauce more. The Jap Chae tasted good. It had a good, beefy flavor. Although, I get curious about them serving Jap Chae as an entire entrée. I always see it as a side item. I can’t imagine eating a whole plate of Jap Chae. It’s probably more of a family-style dish. The old ladies that worked there looked quite busy. They had a hard time serving 20 of us. I guess they weren’t prepared for 20 people to come in at once, even if Daniel B warned them ahead of time. Also, the staff acted too much like a traditional Korean. I suggested Paige N. to get the Dak Dori Tang(Spicy Braised Chicken Hot Pot). So when she asked a question about it, the waitress told her about the Bibimbap instead. I guess the waitress was trying to be helpful since bibimbap is usually a popular and safe choice for non-Koreans. But it just bothered me the waitresses automatically assumed that’s what Paige wanted. Also, the waitresses can’t speak English very well. Maybe they should hire some young, hip waitresses. Overall, I thought most things tasted mediocre. They do have a huge menu though. So if you never had Korean food, this is an okay place to come and try stuff out. And a lot of people seemed to like it. I guess I’m just an elite, arrogant, Korean food snob. I give it 2.5 stars.

I went to Korea Garden last night for the 27th installment of the Buford Highway UYE series: . We had a great turnout as 22 people showed up. In the week leading up to the event, I tried calling ahead to make a reservation for our large group. The phone number was disconnected. Since I had no other means of contacting the restaurant, I drove there and made a reservation in person. On the day of the event, I received a phone call from the restaurant confirming my reservation. The lady on the phone sounded excited. Based on the phone number that called me, it appears their phone is working again. Korea Garden is one of the newer restaurants to open along Buford Highway ITP. It opened late 2012 in the old Kowloon Seafood Restaurant space, which is next door to Mozart Bakery and Sinaloense. Korea Garden has modified the space inside to be very open and clean. Chinese artwork still remains from the old restaurant. This is a casual restaurant that serves affordably priced Korean cuisine. The dinner menu features«All Day Specials,» served Monday through Saturday(the restaurant is closed Sundays), akin to lunch specials. A majority of the specials are only $ 6.95 and include bento boxes(trays with different compartments for different foods such as meats, salads, veggies, fruits, etc.) with meats such as beef, pork, and chicken bulgogi(shredded marinated meat), galbi(marinated short ribs), an assortment of tang and jjigae(soups and stews), bibimbap(mixed rice), and a small variety of rice cake and dumpling dishes. Combined with the banchan(complimentary side dishes), this is certainly a great value. The aforementioned foods can also be purchased separately, in «dinner» size portions. Other Korean foods available on the menu include pancakes(seafood, kimchi, and vegetable), noodles such as japchae(clear noodles) and naengmyeon(chewy buckwheat noodles), fried rice, Japanese teriyaki, steamed seafood such as fish and crab, hot pot including goat and beef tripe(stomach), and other miscellaneous Korean specialties like spicy oysters and raw skate. Appetizers(e.g. pancakes), rice dishes, and soup/stews are under $ 10.00 each. Meats, seafoods, and more«exotic» entrees typically cost between $ 12.95 to $ 18.95 each. Generally, I like the varied menu selection and price point. Portion sizes are generous. A small note worth mentioning is the availability of chicken bulgogi and spicy pork bulgogi(daeji bulgogi). These aren’t available at every Korean restaurant and I was surprised to see them on the menu here. Angela H. ordered the chicken bulgogi and seemed to like it. If you’re interested in ordering the chicken bulgogi, read her review. I ordered the spicy pork bulgogi, dinner portion($ 12.95). It was delicious. A pile of shredded marinated pork was served heaping high on a black iron skillet. It was still sizzling when it hit the table. The marinade was full of flavor and almost intense. The pork was cooked with shredded onions and topped with freshly sliced raw scallion. A bowl of rice accompanied the meat. We shared pancakes as appetizers. Small pancakes are $ 3.95 and large pancakes are $ 7.95. I’d say one small pancake is appropriate for every 2 – 4 people. Don’t order a large pancake unless you have a lot of people(or want to take leftover pancake home). I tried the seafood and kimchi pancakes. Both were made-to-order and tasty. The seafood pancake did not contain any shellfish. Instead, it contained octopus. Or was it squid? It was one of the two. Either way, it tasted swell. The kimchi pancake was not spicy. The pancakes were sufficiently thick and came with a savory dipping sauce. I was impressed with the banchan. Usually, economical Korean restaurants cut costs by providing skimpy, low quality banchan. However, the banchan here was pretty good. It consisted of: celery, pickled spicy radish, bean sprouts, kimchi, leafy green veggies, seaweed and cucumber, and odeng(Korean fish cake). As a whole, the banchan was fresh, crisp, and appetizing. I enjoyed them all. The servers refilled the banchan upon request. My favorite was probably the seaweed and cucumber mix. It was vinegary. I thought service was good considering the group we had. We had 22 people and were split into two large tables of 12. Twelve sat at one table and 10 at the other. There were two female servers ready and waiting inside for our group, eager to get started. One server took orders for the 12-person table while the other took orders for the 10-person table. The food came out pretty quickly for the 12-person table, but the folks sitting at the 10-person table had to wait longer. When it came time to pay the bill, the servers were proactive in separating checks. Checks were processed in batches of four. Overall, Korea Garden is a nice addition to Buford Highway. I would come back. Most of my tablemates agreed.

I’m all for more Korean restaurant options in Doraville, and I like that this place has very reasonable prices — most dishes are under $ 10(which are more like lunch prices at other Korean restaurants), and they’ve got all the basic Korean dishes here. The service is also super nice, and the food is pretty good. I did get confirmation they’re not related to the Korea Garden formerly in Pinetree Plaza. COMPLIMENTARYBANCHAN For both my visits, we got seven banchan which might be worth mentioning b/c my mandu guk had seven mandu(dumplings) — «7» is a special number in the Bible, and the restaurant is closed on Sundays so I’m guessing the 7 might be intentional. Haha, all just speculation though :) ***Updated: I believe they’re open on Sundays now. MANDUGUK — $ 6.95 Our server said the mandu is homemade — they tasted ok but what wow’d me the most was the soup. The broth was super flavorable and almost addicting — loved it! And as I mentioned earlier, the soup had seven mandu which is more than what most places serve. DOLSOTBIBIMBAB — $ 8.95 I tried some of my friend’s dish and thought it was very good. Friend enjoyed it too. L.A. GALBIBOX — $ 8.95 I love that I can get Galbi for under $ 10, all day long! Good portion and the meat was very tasty and on the sweeter side which I like but if you don’t like your meat sweet, you might not be a fan. This is a bento box but not really b/c the sides weren’t all that impressive — just iceberg salad, rice, daikon, and orange. I’d definitely order this again though … and still can’t believe it’s just $ 8.95. YUKGAEJANG — $ 6.95 This is a spicy beef soup, not the«Korean Sausage Soup» which is wrongly translated in the menu. I tried a few bites and thought it was pretty good. My dad really enjoyed it, and he’s pretty picky with his Yukgaejang — he said it rivals Han Il Kwan”s version. ***Updated: my dad had it again in March and didn’t like it at all and now refuses to come back. Like I said, he’s a picky eater and sadly doesn’t give restaurants second chances :( HAEMOOLKALGOOKSU — $ 6.95 Love that the noodles are homemade(assuming so since the noodles were different widths) but the broth was pretty bland. Seafood included squid, two mussels, and shrimp(which my mom said was just ok). Maybe not the best Kalgooksu but nice to know it’s available in Doraville :) I’ll definitely be back often. Next time I’d like to try the Soondubu Jigae esp. since their restaurant sign now says Tofu House under their name. Talk about trying to compete w/So Kong Dong across the street, hehe. FYI — they’re located next to Café Mozart.
