I was surprised by their ignorance regarding our requests. Just look at what we received for pork BBQ; it's likely to cause diarrhea. Despite our request for fresh meat, they refused and never returned to our table. Their service barely accommodated our needs, and to top it off, they took 20% of our tips simply because we were a party of six.

It's alright, though it's not Koreana (Cambridge side). The meat portions are much smaller and the soup was extremely salty. I did not have a feeling of satisfaction. The place looks good though, and the staff is very friendly.

Prior to 2017, I had never experienced traditional Korean cuisine. That all changed when my Korean friend recommended Korean Garden Restaurant. I decided to try their Mul & Bibim Naengmyeon—cold buckwheat noodles served in beef broth and spicy sauce, respectively. It was an absolute delight! The flavors were rich and authentic, leaving me craving for more. The staff at Korean Garden were incredibly friendly and accommodating, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Whenever I’m in the mood for exceptional Korean cuisine, Korean Garden is undoubtedly my top choice.Below 3 pictures described with Be My Eyes:The First image shows a dining setup on a wooden table. There is a white bowl in the center, with a pair of metal chopsticks resting on top of it. To the right of the bowl is a metal spoon with an ornate handle, placed on a white paper napkin. Underneath the bowl and utensils is a laminated menu or placemat with Korean text and the image of a green bottle, possibly soju, with the words "HAPPY" and "Hite" visible, indicating it might be an advertisement for a beverage. The overall setting suggests a Korean dining establishment.The Second image shows a dish with thinly sliced beef and vegetables. The beef is placed on top of the vegetables, which appear to be cucumbers and possibly carrots, all sitting in a red, possibly spicy sauce. There are also some slices of what looks like pear or another type of fruit on top of the beef. The dish is served in a metal bowl.The third image The shows a bowl of food with a shiny metal surface. In the bowl, there is a mix of ingredients. At the center, there is a whole boiled egg with its shell removed, sitting on top of the other ingredients. Surrounding the egg are thin slices of beef that appear to be cooked. There are also slices of cucumber that are cut lengthwise, and they are partially visible under the beef slices. The base of the bowl seems to be filled with a red sauce that looks spicy, and it coats some noodles that are not fully visible but can be seen underneath the other toppings. The bowl is placed on a wooden table, and there is a blurred background that suggests other items on the table, but they are not the focus of the image.

The service was exceptional.However, I got severe diarrhea after a lunch in 02/25/2024, and still having illness after 3 days. I have symptoms that indicate a potential for bacterial gastroenteritis, but I did not visit hospital to check.My friend have minor symptoms as she ate much less.

Fishy practices, or very odd miscommunication.We were charged auto-gratuity of 20% for a 5 person party, yet we were still asked by staff to tip further.When we explained we didn't leave a tip because we were charged the 20% auto-gratuity, the waitress denied that was a tip.Very confusing. To not kick up a fuss, we left an additional tip. I just want to warn people about this situation.

Very low quality cut of meat. Meat was not fresh either. I was amazed by how low quality of beef we got. Definitely will not return.

My favorite spot in Boston for Korean comfort food.For the past few years, I’ve been trying to find a reliable spot for Korean comfort food. Early last year, I finally settled on this place and have been ordering from here at least once a month.This isn't the place for the most extraordinary Korean cuisine you'll ever experience, but it reliably satisfies cravings with just the right balance of spices and authentic flavors. Although they specialize in Korean BBQ, I find myself drawn more to their Garden Specials and soup-based entrées. The Gopchang Bokeum and Kimchi Stew are some of my favorites. These dishes capture the essence of Korean cooking with well-balanced spice levels and rich, satisfying sauces.The portions are also quite generous for the price, so if you’re looking for a good value Korean comfort meal, this is the place to go.Parking: Allston municipal parking lot across the street

Terrible service. We were waiting outside the restaurant and no one was there for half an hour until we asked someone to come. The dish was mediocre and they forced tips, doesn’t make sense to me since I felt 0 service at all.

Solid Korean BBQ with numerous meat options and excellent service. A little on the pricier side for the quantity but great quality.

They give me the wrong thing and was arguing with me saying they didn’t give me the wrong order and I left my water Bottle there at the restaurant forgot to take it home the second day I call them they said they never see it so I guess they throw away my water bottle that cost $29. Very bad service the manager using bad attitude to argue with customers when is their problem
