My new fav Korean yakiniku! My first time was with my husband for my 30th, & I'm so glad we came here bc the stew is so die for. Either miso or soft tofu stew, they're BOTH hands down the best stews I had on Oahu. Parking is either right out front (limited stalls) or parking behind the building next to Club Femme Nu. 2nd time here for Mother's Day & hubby got to treat us! I'm so happy to be here with my family. Definitely our go-to yakiniku in town now. Can't go wrong with the reasonable prices AND complementary sides were also tasty! It's not a big fancy updated place, but the restaurant really shows the Korean authenticity.

It's my favorite place for Korean now. Their prices are reasonable and the flavors are on point. Everything taste authentic, and the food is always fresh and hot

Seoul Garden Yakiniku Overall: **** Recommended **** Food: **** Value: *** Menu: ***** Ambiance: *** Service: **** Parking: ***** free in front and behind restaurant I was first introduced to Seoul Garden by a Korean friend who loved their seafood soft tofu stew. Since then, I've been to Seoul Garden many times, primarily for lunch and I order their combination plates, steamed BBQ Kalbi or their seafood soft tofu stew. They give you more varieties of banchan (side dishes) than other Korean restaurants and their banchan is good. They introduced all you can eat lunch yakiniku for $28.95 and all you can eat dinner for $38.95. As you can see, from the video, it comes with the seafood soft tofu stew, salad, mandoo, banchan, rice and your choice of 12 items. The video contained in this review is their all you can eat lunch yakiniku. They kept coming back and asked us if we wanted more of anything and they kept changing the grill. Whenever I dine at Seoul Garden, a large portion of the customers are speaking in Korean, so I know I'm going to the right place. They also have large party rooms in the back. Comparison: Seoul Garden Yakinku - has better banchan, quality of meats, seafood soft tofu stew, mandoo and parking. GEN Korean BBQ - has a larger selection of items to choose from and is newer. Bottom line: It depends on what you like to eat and which of the two restaurants has more of those items.

Probably my new favorite AYCE Korean bbq spot! I love their beef belly! Pretty similar to brisket and I feel like a lot of other places don't carry beef belly. Other favorites include the beef bulgogi and pork belly. They have a wide variety of banchan which is really good. I also like how they give fried mandoo and cheese corn as a side too. It is pretty pricey than other places, I've only been for dinner which costs around $50 (including tip). Maybe next time I'll go for lunch when it's cheaper. Service is pretty quick and attentive. The restaurant is spacious and has a lot of booths. Definitely recommend this place for your new Korean bbq fix!

This place is my second favorite AYCE on island. The jjigae is great. The corn cheese is my favorite. The sides are pretty good. People misunderstand Korean restaurants-- you need to take charge and tell them what you want politely. They aren't there to baby you, but sometimes they will if you put them in a good mood. The mama always takes care whenever me and my friends go. We're overdue for a visit again. See you soon!

Came for dinner and got the AYCE option. I was surprised at how many different banchan there was; it included Kim chee, fish cake, shoyu potato, shredded daikon, mustard greens, green salad, cheese corn and even soondubu (tofu soup). The soondubu and kimchee were really good. The kimchee was made in house. The soondubu had a good seafood flavor and had bits of clam and squid. The meats we ordered were brisket, pork jowl, beef belly, short rib, marinated short rib, and pork bulgogi. All of them were good but I think we liked the brisket the best because we order it 3 times. I like that it was thin and got caramelized and crispy. There were 2 sauces sesame oil and salt and a sweet soy. I like the salt and sesame oil better. It I was told to use the salt with the pork and the soy based sauce with the beef. Service was amazing they brought lots of meat each time and replenished banchan quickly as requested. They even replaced the grill multiple times. There was garlic on foil on the grill which was a great addition to some of the meats. They also rubbed a piece of fat on the grill each time the replaced it so that meats wouldn't stick and also add flavor. They also came intermittently and assisted in cooking, putting things on the grill turning the meats or taking them off when they were done. Theres options for both AYCE and prepared dishes that are brought to your table. If you choose AYCE everyone at the table has to order it too. There's some parking right up front and also the back of femme niu just let the security guys know you're eating at Seoul Garden.

Had lunch to today with my favorite sister and Brother-in-law. We decided to check out Seoul Garden Yakiniku. Thanks to fellow Yelper Auntie Nadine.C she post this place and it was pretty good. She also mentioned the hours on Yelp and Google opens @ 10:00am we got there around 10:15 they was still closed. Actually their new banner sign shows open @ 11:00am . We was lucky there was a worker and he opened up around 10:30am so we walked in . The food was very good I really enjoyed their Kalbi came out on a sizzling platter and it was very soft. The fried Mandoo was tasty as well along with the tofu stew. Their stir fried squid was ok little on the spicier side even it was mild level lol. Service was ok just a little slow on the refills of the water . I was surprised with the Bachan they provided a good selection of varieties. Prices are very reasonable sorry didn't get the price for the All you can eat buffet because we ordered family style . Definitely will be back in the future support local

I had lunch one Saturday here with Auntie Nadine. She suggested we try this place and that it was all you can eat. I'm always down for places like this. We got here around 10am, because that's the time it said it opened on the app. However, they have new hours. They're now open from 11am-11pm. At least we were there early and found parking. After getting seated we perused the menu. They serve a la carte lunch specials which were a few dollars less than the AYCE, so we both just got the AYCE. We ended up getting the short rib, beef brisket, pork belly, beef tongue, bulgogi and pork jowl. I really liked the beef brisket and bulgogi. Along with those came a whole bunch of banchan sides. The corn cheese, fried mandoo and soft tofu stew were the best out of the sides. It was a lot of food. The male server helping us told us that they've been in service for twenty years. He helped cook our food. He also gave each of us a piece of Korean cinnamon candy after our meal. The cinnamon candy was yummy. Thanks to Nadine for taking me out again for my birthday. It was the third time. She's so crazy that woman, but I appreciate her. Thank you Auntie! Love you!

All You Can Eat lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii... I heard about this place and always wanted to try it. My gal pal, Angel, was game to go, so, I picked her up "early" - for better parking. All of the free parking spaces in the front were open - yay! I also noticed a sign that indicated that more parking is available behind the building. It turned out that Seoul Garden Yakiniku opens at 11am - not 10am. I submitted an edit to Yelp - hope they update the information soon. I called the restaurant anyway to reserve a table for us. The lady who answered the phone said that they would open at 11am, but the door opened early for us! Thank you! We both selected the AYCE option (instead of one of the lunch specials). It seemed like a good deal for $28.95 because we were hungry! The banchan (including a green salad and tofu soup) was overwhelming! So many choices! We ordered the first round of meat: four items (short rib, beef tongue, pork belly, and beef brisket). We were able to do another round of two meats: bulgogi and pork jowl. The servers helped us cook a bit because we were too busy eating. Our grill was changed twice! Service was efficient and friendly. The male server said that they've been in business for twenty years! (Their Instagram page states that this business opened in 1999!) Wow! I wouldn't mind returning for the beef brisket, marinated short rib, and bulgogi! Note: It seemed a bit warm inside because the door was left open for fresh air and ventilation. There was a fly bothering us. A rotating gadget was placed on our table to chase the fly away - it worked!
