Seoul Garden

Seoul Garden is hands down the best Korean BBQ spot in the Saint Louis/Creve Coeur area. Me and my wife always do the all-you-can-eat BBQ and it is consistently amazing. Our go-to meats are the sweet smoked pork and pork belly, but the spicy chicken, spicy pork, and bulgogi are all fantastic as well. Everything comes out fresh and well-marinated, and the quality never disappoints. The banchan is another highlight. It’s always super fresh and thoughtfully prepared. While it can change depending on availability, you’ll typically get a great variety like kimchi, cucumber kimchi, fish cake, radish, broccoli, bean sprouts, Korean-style mashed potatoes, and a Korean vegetable pancake. It really rounds out the meal and elevates the whole experience. I haven’t personally ordered the pre-prepared dishes yet, but every time I see them go to other tables they look incredible. They also have a great drink menu with cute seasonal mixed drinks, plus soju, beer, and soft drinks, so there’s something for everyone. It’s also worth mentioning that they have solid vegetarian options, including veggie bibimbap, tofu dishes, soups, and vegetable-based sides, which makes it easy for groups with different preferences. Overall, this place is a true 10/10. They easily beat the other Korean food options nearby, and if you’re even remotely a fan of Korean food or Korean BBQ, Seoul Garden is a must. (I will edit post with a better picture next time I visit. I’m usually too busy stuffing my face with their food to take pictures)

First time coming here with some friends, we had the best experience. Very friendly staff they took time and taught us how everything worked. Food was delicious. The meats were all really good quality absolutely loved the marinated steak and beef bulgogi. There was a nice amount of sides that paired well with the meats and some really good dipping sauces as well. 10/10 highly recommend, can’t wait to go back again!

The food and the service are really good. The only problem is I wanted the classic bbq and my husband wanted the premium, but they said that we should have the same one, alright, we asked for the premium. In the menu is saying premium per person, but you can only order once the steak, shrimp and the ribs, and that’s fine too, but we’re 2 and it was supposed to be 1 per person and they said it was only 1 for the table. So at the end we paid 2 premiums and just got 1 steak, 1 shrimp and 1 ribs for the table and not one for person. It was confusing, maybe it would be better changing the menu information. Everything else was good.

A great spot for authentic Korean cuisine. The restaurant is well arranged with BBQ tables, and the food is tasty and delicious. They serve flavorful, unlimited side dishes with the BBQ, and the quality of the BBQ menu is excellent. You really need to experience it for yourself — definitely worth a visit.

What an amazing experience when it comes to the flavors of the food and what an underwhelming experience when it comes to service. It was our first time trying Seoul Garden and we were extremely excited because we had heard some real exciting things about this place. Thankfully, we made it just in time to get ourselves a table. We went for the all you can eat meal and explained to the waitress that this is our first time. We asked her for any recommendations based on our preferences, and she just rolled her eyes at us. We cannot eat pork and made it clear, and she kinda struggled to know which dishes may have pork in them. Nonetheless, we went for everything that had beef and chicken on it and ruled out anything that had no mention of what meat may be used in it. When the order arrived for beef Bulgogi and beef brisket, we asked her very politely as to how much should the cook time be and she rolled her eyes yet again. She goes on to answer with a very blunt, "I don’t know. Depends on your preference." How is that of any help? We went with our instinct and cooked our own meat. Thankfully, it turned out great because the flavors were just the right amount of garlic, achieved the perfect caramelization, and succulent to the tee. The next in line for our order was the short ribs and shrimp. My husband thankfully asked the owner for a pair of knives and he very happily and willingly despite the crowd attended to us, cut them up with the scissors they had provided and explained to us as to how much it should be cooked even when we did not ask. This changed our opinion on the services provided. Short ribs were absolutely phenomenal. We loved them and wish we could have ordered another round of those, but unfortunately you’re restricted to just one round. The shrimp was juicy, tender, and very savory. Our favorites were definitely the short ribs, beef, Bulgogi, and the marinated steak. The sides are equally exciting. The pickled cucumber and daikon complement the meats very well and the staff will happily provide another bowl if you ask. Our waitress disappeared after round 1 and somebody else attended to us for our receipt and the rest of our order. Rating the place five despite the waitress’s attitude because the owner and the other wait staff was very nice and accommodating to us. Thank you for an amazing Korean barbecue experience. Cannot wait to try the real deal in Korea.

Food is great so is service never had to ask for a refill once staff is happy to answer questions and teach you how to grill ur food also the grill gets hot but its still safe no need to worry plenty of food for 4 people for a good price bathroom was spotless I will definitely be back

We had to wait a little because of it being busy, but the food and experience was great! They would bring out additional sides and meet for the Korean BBQ, and kept us eating and enjoying the time with the friends we were with.
