| - The food and environment at this place felt more like I was at someone's house than a restaurant. Yes, the space is small but the decorations and delicious food made everything feel suuuper homey :)
The banchan came not long after we were seated. Their array of banchan is sooo delicious, and the servers kept coming back to ask if we wanted more refills. I loved the potatoes and the radish dishes the most. Both were the perfect pre-game meal for what was about to come :) For the main entrees, we ordered kalbi, spicy lamb casserole hot pot, and seafood pancake. The kalbi is hands down the best one I've had outside of Koreatown in Los Angeles. The dish was perfectly sweet and savory. It went great with the interesting dipping sauce the restaurant provided! The lamb casserole hot pot is extremely SPICY! But I'm a huge fan of spicy, so try it if you dare! The lamb was tender and soaked up the flavors really well. I'm not sure what vegetable they had in the hot pot, but it was a bit bitter, which goes well with the spice level and lamb. You won't believe how ENORMOUS the seafood pancake is! It's seriously like a pizza!! But more delicious of course! It had less seafood bits in it than I preferred, but still really worth a try! After you ask for the check, the servers come around with the tiny yogurt drinks! It's the perfect post-feast treat!
Service here is also top notch. Why? All the servers speak English!! Omgsh you would not believe how much trouble I've had in the past with non-English speaking servers. Plus, they were extremely friendly and attentive!
Two thumbs (and big toes) up for Seoul Garden!
