I had dinner at Sharon's Garden on May 2nd 2013. First time eating here after hearing my friend rave about this place. She was recommended this place by an old Korean grandma that lived in her condo building. (That means it must be good.)
There are two entrances to this restaurant. I arrived to the entrance that was located in the plaza. There is another entrance facing the parking lot. The restaurant inside has an interesting layout and this place is huge since they lease the lot that use to be a supermarket. The layout of the tables are by rooms and each room sort of like a garden maze of table. After entering the restaurant entrance from the plaza I past by a room that can house a party of approx 60. They had disco ball on with karaoke system on and tables all set up. Lol I never saw a karaoke set up at a Korean restaurant.
I arrived at 6:30pm. I followed the waitress to our table which was situated in the main central area of the restaurant. I past by 4 rice cookers and the kitchen was half open concept so you can see what's going on back there. I didn't understand why so many rice cookers till I saw their menu. They had so many different options of rice! Regular white rice, white mix with brown rice, white brown bean rice and I think one more I don't remember. There was probably 10 to 15 tables occupied. You had regular height chairs and tables and on one side there's tables where you sit on the floor. They did not have buzzers for a place this large. Yet you can easily flag the waitress down since they normally stand near the kitchen monitoring all tables from all rooms.
The menu had the typical Korean dishes and the typical Korean prices so its reasonable.
Side dishes was a bummer. We had a plate of fresh kimchi which scissors was given to cut on your own and a small dish of yellow dyed sour daikons.
My friend ordered one of the bibimbap (mix rice) in a stone bowl. I ordered a combo size jajangmyun (black bean noodle) that came with 6 gyoza (fried dumplings).
I enjoyed my noodles and dumplings very much for the price of $7.99 (I think it was $7.99 or $8.99. I could be wrong) but I like the option to have a small bowl of noodle with a side instead of just have a large bowl of just jajangmyun. Because it can be too much noodle. They had other options of jajangmyun combos with other sides like sweet and sour pork. The food was great and it fed my hunger.
The restaurant was clean. There were many TVs on the wall playing Korean singing shows. The waitress was nice always came to refill tea. Tables and chairs were made of wood. Decor was very woody and garden like feel. Casual setting. I didn't visit the washrooms so I don't know how clean it was but heard from the friend that it was a maze to get there.
I would come here again to try other dishes. Minus one stars because I like Korean food because of the side dishes.
