My husband and I were very happy to find this place because we were craving bossam and did not want to make it at home. However, the food did not meet our expectations... The inside is very cute, but small. They only had one wait staff for all their tables so poor girl was running all over the place. I hope they add another wait staff. All the dishes were just okay, they all seem to be missing something. The kimchi jeon was decent but way too thick. The jjajangmyeon sauce was full of meat, but it had water pooling at the bottom of the bowl so the noodles hadn't been drained properly. The bossam...was the most disappointing of all. The meat was had no flavor at all and the stir-fried kimchi was missing something. The pork bone stew was probably the best dish out of everything we ordered. read more

If you're craving Korean food near Niagara Falls (Canadian side), Korean Garden might catch your eye. While the food isn't exactly authentic, it does have a familiar Korean-inspired taste. The interior is fine--nothing too fancy--but I didn't see any Koreans dining or working there, which felt a bit unusual for a Korean restaurant. The snacks and meals were overpriced for what they offered, and the flavors were just so-so--not bad, but not memorable either. If you're in the area and want a quick bite that somewhat resembles Korean cuisine, it might do the trick, but don't set your expectations too high. read more

We visited this restaurant again in April 2024 and were equally pleased like last year. All the dishes were tasty again. Attaching more photos this time. read more

Korean Garden - Korean Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

Very overpriced Korean place in Niagara fall area. It's in the middle of nowhere feels like a family owned small place. I ordered pork bone hotpot there are 5 pieces of bone the pot looks big but really not much inside, a small portion of clear noodle. The flavor is good but not for this price, Also ordered bibimbap that's super tiny good for one person only. Service was off, one person running the show and hard to get attention to add food or get napkins. read more

This is a bit of a hole in the wall type of place. Very unassuming. They had a fair amount of people constantly coming in and out. We started off with an order of seafood pancake. Wow, this was amazing. Large pieces of mixed seafood inside the savory pancake. The entire family loved it. The tofu stew was also very good - had a good amount of spice and lots of soft tofu. The pork bone stew is highly recommended. It's massive so plan on sharing with multiple people. It's brought out in a giant pan, with a burner under it. Full of veggies, clear noodles and a mountain of pork bones. The pork was soft and falling off the bones (I thoroughly enjoyed eating/picking the meat off the bones). Stew had lots of deep flavors (you'll want to order a side of steamed rice and/or ramen to eat with the delicious broth). read more

After a long drive and craving Korean food, my family and I decided to stop in Niagara Falls for something spicy. Korean Garden had slightly better reviews than the other Korean restaurant so we decided to go there. The place is a rip off. I wish I took pictures. We ordered the Kimchi Jongol which was 45 dollars. Didn't come with rice, which was extra...the whole pot could have been poured into a single serving hot pot. It was shallow with very little kimchi. It was mostly onions with a few pieces of pork. My kids wanted JAjamyeun...which was disgusting. Made with spaghetti noodles. Instant would have been better. Only had old pieces of dried fish cakes and some questionable kimchi. The whole meal was 85 dollars for nothing. This is not a great representation of Korean food. It was way too overly priced for what you get. read more

Great experience I strongly recommend this place and service was really nice. Pancake was yummy and the soup it was what I needed read more

Love this quaint restaurant that looks like it's family owned. Very home visit feel I appreciated the tofu bibimbap option as opposed to the beef which gave it a unique twist and flavor. The kimchee was freshly made and I was able mix it with my dish. The service was excellent and the staff attentive.I wish they had more banchan/side dish options. They only had three and kimchee was one of them. Please stop by and try a new experience if you haven't had Korean food before and welcome home if you have. read more

I feel extremely lucky to have found this place during our trip to Niagara Falls Ca. It was our first time in the Canadian side and it was extremely difficult to find something to eat that wasn't a complete rip off. This place isn't in its usual touristy route, but guarantee it's worth the extra 5 min drive on our way back to our hotel. Looks can be deceiving. Upon first glance, you wouldn't have noticed this place with its simple building and a small open light sign. We decided to try it anyway. So glad we did. We had ordered the ramen, the beef bulgogi, the pork Katsu, the galbi, the pork belly and a plain egg fried rice. The portions were fair and filling!!! The prices seemed as high as everywhere you went near the Falls. I wasn't opposed to the sign stating they will add a 15% gratuity. It seems everywhere in Canada was an extra fee for everything, including walking. The place deserves it and especially our waitress. She was a nice lady, a bit flustered as she had to do multiply task at once. She handed us our water pitcher immediately as we sat down and off she went to run food to the table while bussing another shortly after. After we ordered, the food came out quick, steaming mouth watering hot. If you are a bit bourgeois, and expect 5 star kiss your butt hotel service, then this isn't the place for you. Too bad, as you'll be missing out on some delicious food. Something we didn't know at the time, but you pay up front and not at the table. All in all, I would make this my first stop when I come visit the Falls again. read more

The kimchi stew is probably the most authentic one I've had in North America. The waitress is kind and caring and their menu has something for everyone! Their kimchi and side dishes are amazing, and as a native Korean I rate this place 10/10. Many vegan and vegetarian options. If you've never had Korean food go for a bibimbap for each person and a soondobu to share. read more

The place is cozy and looks to be clean. The service was fine. I think she was the owner. I ordered two items to start. A-4 and N-3. A-3 is the rice cake in the red paste sauce. It was good enough. N-3 was not good. (Jjajang noodles). I have eaten this dish many time in many places and this dish was off. It didn't have the flavor I know and expect. It had a sour flavor and the noodle they used was crap. It looked like they opened a package of Raman noodles and used it. Cheap!! Not good!! Wrong!! I expect correct type of noodles when I pay nearly 20.00 for a bowl of noodles. I did not eat it and set it aside. I ordered a third item and told her I was not going to eat it. She had no concerns about why I didn't eat it. I didn't ask her to remove it from my check. The other big negative about this place is that they don't serve any side dishes. WTF!!! The side dishes that one enjoys is 50% of the Korean meal!! I understand that my noodle dish would not be served with sides. I also understand that my rice cake would not be served with sides but I ordered a third item (S-1) which came with rice, no sides were served. What!!!! S-1 was good. Btw, I am Korean and know how these dishes should taste. I would not visit this place again. No banchan, cheap ramen noodles. No concerns from owner about why I didn't eat a item I ordered. read more

Very kind people that run the restaurant. Came in at one pm on a Saturday, not busy at all. Dumplings were excellent, soft yet crunchy, and a nice meaty flavor. Soup is fresh and hot. Would recommend trying out if you are looking for a cozy casual (and I believe family run) restaurant. read more

The service is not good, they will collect your cups when you are still eating. Will not come back again read more

Came here after visiting the Niagara Falls i ordered the spicy rice cake, pork bone soup and bulgogi soup. Spicy rice cakes were more on the soupier side than what I normally have, their pork bone soup was really good, the bulgogi soup was on the sweeter side it was my least favorite dish, other than that everything esle was good. The service however was really slow I think we waited over 30 mins for our food to be served and there was only one other table that was already dinning. The prices was slightly overpriced compared to NYC. read more

Every time I come , I usually get take out. Finally I was able to dine in and taste the food right out from the kitchen! I was craving the hot soup. We ordered the pork bone soup, the beef bulgogi added with ramen, dumplings and the galbi. Food has always been amazing here. I wrote reviews for take out before, but eating here in person was such a great experience. Although the price is a little high compared to all the local Korean restaurants in Toronto, but they don't cheap out on the food. Generous amount and lovely flavours. There was kimchi , and seaweed as our side. If you want green tea etc, it's extra. read more

One of the dishes we ordered, the soft tofu stew, was spoiled, the rice and vegetables on the pork cutlet plate were completely dried out, and the rice that came with the stew was old, hard, and cold. I was unhappy, but I didn't want to ruin the time with my family, so I decided to let it go and just get new food instead of complaining about the spoiled dish and the hard, dried-out rice. However, when we received the bill with a 20% tip already included, I decided I never wanted to visit this restaurant again. It is hard for me to recommend this restaurant. If a group of more than five people visits, they will give you a bill with a 20% tip already included, without any prior verbal explanation. read more

Over price Small portion Poor customer service / no customer service at all Even Asking for unreasonable tips amount Will never go back again read more

A great place to visit that is away from the noise and stress of Clifton Hill (but still less than a 5 minute drive from the main area). Tried their rice cakes, pork bone soup, dumplings and spicy bulgogi and they were all yummy (especially for a restaurant not in a predominantly Korean area). Their homemade kimchi was so delicious, we had to order extra! Highly recommend checking them out for a tranquil place to have lunch or dinner! read more

It's a small and very clearly family owned restaurant, it was super cute, the food was exceptional, and the spices and overall flavor was great. The food came out fast, and the level of spicyness was good, and overall would come back, if I didn't live 1371 miles away read more

Korean Garden - The Lorax approves - Korean Near Me - Niagara Falls, Ontario

My family and I went here after a trip to Niagara Falls and must say that we had a terrible dining experience met with utter disappointment. For anybody who loves authentic Korean food be prepared to be WAY overcharged and met with utter shock for the actual portion size provided. Sure, the ambiance was alright with its greenery and lights but the food did no justice... NONE of us left with a satisfied hunger afterwards. I can't say for their smaller dishes and classics but I would most definitely stay away from their Boiled Pork Wraps (Bossam). Lack of flavor or amount of meat. Literally came with 5 thin slices of tofu given the price point of over $30... Same thing with the Budae jjigae. Barely any actual meat/ content inside. Be prepared to purchase your own additional SMALL side of rice for $4 each/ per person. Should be ashamed. Unless you get their smaller items, STAY AWAY. read more

I will rate 2/5 for their taste - okay, but not tasty. The price is not cheat considering the size of their dishes. Their service is awful - they left me there for 5 minutes and nobody gave us a menu, asked anything, or told us anything until we asked for the menu ourselves. We asked for water, but they never gave us any cup of water. There is a fly living right next to our table, and there is a spider (with its web) right on the window next to our table. When we are asking for bill, they gave us a bill that has duplicated charges. When we are ready to pay (put the credit card on the bill), nobody cared about us for more than 10 minutes until we walked to the cashier ourselves. And they required us 15% tip, which I think they did not worth at all. Bad place. Do not be there! read more

Best takeout I've gotten in Niagara. The spicy pork bulgogi was fantastic. I just wish I had ordered more.

We are looking for non-fast food type of restaurants in the region after having pizza, pasta and steak for consecutive meals. We come up with this Korean restaurant. This looks like a home restaurant to us. The inner decoration gives a feeling of Xmas small town. The television is looping kpop music video with low volume. The food is great too, beef and pork belly on hot fry pan are tender and taste great in sauce. I like the rice as it is sticky and moist. read more

Just OK. Nothing more nothing less. Food is basic. Service is under average. Price is acceptable

Not very authentic, jampong had very little seafood, few pieces of squid, previously frozen mussels and no shrimp. Noodles weren't fresh either. Galbi was very fatty, not much meat. Owners have questionable morals & ethics, bad food targeting tourists, knowing these customers aren't coming back anyway. read more

Ordered tteokboki (spicy rice cake), oden udon (fishcake udon), samgyoepsal (pork belly), and naengmyeon (cold broth noodle). I am not a sommelier or anything but I can tell what's good and what's not when it comes to the food from my own cultural background. Tteokboki was surprisingly good - is this gochujang tteokboki? If it is, props to the chef, because it is not easy to maintain good taste while making the sauce not pasty. Rice cake was done just well so it maintained chewiness throughout - a less skilled cook would make the outer layer soggy or the core layer dense. The pork belly was also done right. Slices were thick but somehow they managed to keep the degree of cooking consistent throughout the thickness. Go home and try making it yourself - you try to cook the inside of the pork, you end up either burning the outer layer or end up losing the juice and shrinking the size of the pieces by overcooking. If you undercook, you maintain the outer layer clean however you end up having some nasty chewing experience. I don't think talking about udon as the container broke open mid-transit :/ I won't let this bad experience influence my review as this is something for me to address with the courier. I managed to taste the whatever the scrap left over in the bowl, it tasted okay. Naengmyeon was ok as well, tasted just as expected. read more

I was hoping for better but this is a tourist trap. The food is ok. Banchan is sad, just kimchi, fish cakes and raw seaweed with gochujang. Entrees are priced higher than other comparable restaurants. But they also add a mandatory gratuity of 15%. You pay at the front and they don't show you the bill. Then they add on another "service charge" on top of the tax and tip. I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Amazing food, a short trip from the Niagara tourist strip. Incredible food!! Can't wait to go back!

This restaurant is awesome! The food was so good that we ate here four times in 8 days. The service is wonderful too! Definitely recommend it. My favorites were the spicy pork bulgogi and the spicy tofu soup. The kimchi is awesome too! Check it out! read more
