    Great food! We ordered 2 orders of meat and it came with lots of side dishes that we really enjoyed. Comes with rice and egg soup as well! Service was quick and the servers were nice. Would recommend!

    Pretty solid Korean food! Nothing like ending the workday with lettuce wrapped steamed pork belly alongside with beer and soju. Great selection of Korean items. Loved the steamed eggs as always and the jajjangmen was okay (black bean noodles)

    I would rate this 3.5 stars. I was in Ann Arbor for a 1 night business trip. My colleague and I were tired and didn't want to drive. Seoul Garden was a 5-minute walk from the hotel, so we tried it out. It was a large place with lots of room and a small bar. Some of the tables were set up for Korean BBQ, which we didn't try because you need two people, and my colleague doesn't eat meat. My colleague is a vegetarian, and he had a lot of choices. He tried a vegetarian version of the Bibimbap. He thought it was good, properly prepared, and flavorful. I tried the spicy pork with onions in a red sauce. It was good and hearty. It really wasn't spicy at all, which was a bit of a letdown. The dishes came with a small amount of rice and a number of sides like kimchi and other vegetables. They also had a full liquor license. They made a really good Mai Tai. The value was also very good. The two meals, sides, and one Mai Tai were $55.

    Wow! This place I wonderful! When I was in undergrad at Uof M, my Korean roommate introduced me to many Korean spots in the downtown area. They are all long gone. I've been Searching for a local spot that is not just BBQ. They have many options which range from lavish Bbq to simple apps. The banchan is fabulous and can be refilled. I got 2 Long Island iced teas and BbQ with spicy pork. There was plenty of delicious food and it was reminiscent of my favorite Korean dishes in 1990. service was wonderful, fast and friendly. I will be returning soon to try the japchae, pageon, bibimpop, among other things.

    A solid choice. Everything tastes like how it's supposed to be. Can't really expect more.

    Nice clean restaurant with friendly service. Got the bibimbap with chicken and the hot stone. Food came out quickly and the banchan was great.

    After about four years, we finally came back to this restaurant, and it feels like a completely different place. The remodel really transformed it. The layout has changed significantly and the space feels much more open and updated. We came for dinner as a group of five. There's a BBQ side menu (not pictured) that lets you choose sets of 3, 4, or 5 meats from their full list. Some premium options, like the soy garlic rib-eye, come with an additional $5 upcharge. We ordered the 5-meat BBQ set: bulgogi, chadol (brisket), spicy chicken, galbi, and soy garlic rib-eye. The BBQ came with banchan, and we also added several shareable dishes: chicken fried rice, vegetable egg rolls, rock shrimp, steamed egg, and kimchi tofu. The meats were all very good. Everything was well-marinated and flavorful. The spicy chicken tasted great, but it was cut into smaller pieces, which made it a bit messy and harder to cook on the grill. Still enjoyable overall. The rock shrimp was cooked just right and had a nice texture. All of the side dishes paired well with the BBQ and helped round out the meal. Sauce options included sesame oil with salt and pepper and fermented bean sauce. There wasn't a dedicated sauce for the brisket (chadol), but the staff let us know we could bring our own sauces if we wanted. We visited on a Monday evening around 5:30 pm, and it wasn't busy at all. There were plenty of tables and lots of space, which made for a relaxed dining experience. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The servers checked in at the right moments, especially when we needed help with our grill. Overall, a solid return visit with good food, improved ambiance, and thoughtful service.

    Another great kbbq spot in Ann Arbor. The servers were great and it's not as crowded here. I like how big their place is and their meats were seasoned very well

    "She'll let you in her heart If you got a hammer and a vise But into her secret garden, don't think twice" (Bruce Springsteen) What a wonderful dinner we had tonight at the Seoul Garden. We weren't in the mood for a hibachi table, so we skipped the hibachi show and big dinner and picked three things from their regular menu. We ordered a Spicy Pork Combo ($20), an order of three egg Rolls ($6), and an order of six humongous Soy Garlic chicken wings ($12). As soon as we ordered, a variety of Banchan side dishes came out right away. There were six of them -sticky rice, kimchi, potatoes, broccoli, crunchy pickled vegetables, and spicy seafood strips. What a great way to start the meal. My spicy pork was fantastic- a heaping platter of thinly sliced very spicy pork strips over sauteed sliced onions. The wings were gigantic, some of the biggest we've ever seen, and they were delicious. We both thought the egg rolls were the weak link because there didn't seem to be much inside except shredded cabbage. Service was very good, and the food was plentiful and reasonably priced.

    Food is always delicious- we got the marinated kalbi and tangsuyuk. It was great that we could get additional banchan as well. The service can be slow as it seems they don't have a lot of staff working around 5pm. Visited 7/19/25

    The food was ok here. It had some hits and a few misses. The restaurant is very clean and looks modern. The bon chon was not served until the meal was coming out. The kimchi was a hit. It was on the fresher side which is what I prefer. The radish was also very good. The mashed potatoes were sort of sweet. I found those to be interesting and unexpected. We ordered a kimchi pancake and it was sooooooo oily. The pancake was so oily that none of it has any crispness at all. i would not order that again. The spicy chicken bbq was not spicy at all. I mean not even a little bit. The overall flavors were ok but I wanted some of that spice!The serving size was quite large. Service was slow but friendly.

    I liked that they have good size parking space. I ordered course meal for 4 assuming portion size maybe small but I was wrong. It came with many different dishes and there were a lot of meats. Quality of meats were very good. The building looked little outdated so I was worried at first but inside was large and looked clean. The staff was friendly and checked on us for refill of drinks frequently. This place became one of my favorite restaurants. Definitely we come back again.

    I came here for the all you can eat Korean bbq. There were 2 options for all you can eat, option A had more meat and side options for $38 and option B had a little bit less for $32. I ordered the more expensive option because they had 2 choices of Kalbi for the beef portion. Ultimately for 3 people, we ordered 6 servings of Kalbi, 3 Chadol, 1 bbq chicken, 1 ribeye, 1 seafood pancake, 1 veggie dumpling, 1 kimchi, 1 steamed egg and 2 rice. The total ended up being over $100. I would say for 3 people it wasn't bad in price! The food was all good! The service was good! We came Saturday afternoon (3pm) and didn't have to wait for a table. I wouldn't say anything was especially amazing, but for the price I think it was a good deal! The portions were very fair and I would come back!

A cheese popover was complimentary, one for each of us. Very cheesy, hot from the oven. We also shared the crab cake appetizer. It comes with two crab cakes. Has flash fried leeks and a roasted pepper sauce. Big chunks of crab. Yummy. For entrees I got the 8 ounce fillet mignon with a Cabernet deli glacé, and the cheddar au gratin potato side. My husband got the scallops with a garlic mashed potato side and a grilled asparagus side. The fillet was absolutely delicious. So so tender and flavorful. Didn't really need the glacé, which was also delicious. The cheddar gratin potatoes were just ok. Not a lot of flavor, but it was HUGE. Could easily have been shared by 3 adults no problem. However, I would skip this side. My husband enjoyed his scallops, but there were only six. He's a big guy so luckily his one pound of garlic mashed potatoes, which were better than the gratin potatoes, and grilled asparagus helped to fill him up. The sides are massive, so order with the intent to share, unless you like taking home leftovers. I also had the Baking in Basil mocktail. It was terrific. Basil, blueberry syrup, simple syrup, lime ginger beer. Very refreshing. Husband drank water. Total bill was $300 plus tip. Only for 25th Anniversary. I just can't justify that price for a normal Saturday night out. We more than likely won't be back, but it was a nice one time experience.

The dining room is still like stepping back in time. Nothing has changed. really. nothing. Our visits have slowed in the last couple years due to the poor experiences we've had, but this last one was the final straw. I am done with Knight's Steak House and the attitudes from the servers. The food isn't good enough nor is there value enough to put up with that level of (lack of) service. I booked a reservation for 6 on a Monday night at 7pm to celebrate a birthday. From the start, the server was short and took WAY too long to come around just for drinks. (25 mins) She had an attitude and before our people were even there, I had a feeling we should leave. I didn't want our son's birthday to be spoiled by this server, but too late. After waiting 25 mins to PUT IN a drink order, we got drinks after appetizers were gone. When she finally brought the drinks, did she stick around to take our order when we asked her to take our orders. We had a kid in our party and it was already near 8pm. IDK what her hold up was or why she was so unavailable to a party of 6 but that was ridiculous. We are pretty easy and very forgiving but throw attitude on top and that ensures we got the message and not a place we would like to go again. The wine selection is crap but the pours are heavy. The dinner salad on special is $13 (with a 6oz steak add on for an additional $15) but was the size a side plate. No reason there could not have been just more lettuce in it. Charge more for a bigger size even. The steak was proper cooked temp but served lukewarm and no flavor. Same for the kid's meal - lukewarm. She was about sleep on the table before the food came out so she didn't eat much anyway. n the upside, they know how to serve a sandwich, on end, so the bread doesn't get soggy and he said the sandwich was good. Our 3 boys had steaks and they didn't complain though they said it could use some flavor. Then I remembered that you have to ORDER flavor. Why didn't the server ASK any of use if we wanted seasoning on our steaks? We aren't a table full of old people. 3 men in their 20s might want some flavor. Horrible experience and getting worse with each visit. $300 bill I hope someone comes in an shapes up this place. That was ridiculous. Crystal was a fantastic server but I heard she is gone when I asked for her section.

As we were walking to the restaurant, my diabetic mother started feeling her blood sugar drop. By the time we got inside, it had fallen to 44, so we headed to the bar and asked for a Sprite. The bartenders took care of her immediately and refused to take payment. They continued to monitor her, bringing her another glass as soon as she finished one, all while taking care of their many other patrons at the bar. They were kind, attentive, and made her feel truly cared for. Ben was our waiter, and he was also very attentive. He made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us often. The food was so delicious we tipped the kitchen staff twice (I love that this was offered as an option on the menu!). We all sampled bites from each other's orders, and I honestly couldn't tell you who had the best dish because there wasn't a bad bite at the table. My sister even struggled to decide whether to enjoy every bit of her steak there or save some to enjoy the next day. Despite how delicious everything was, we saved room for dessert, and I'm so glad we did. The crème brûlée and the chocolate chip cookie cheesecake were to die for! As we were finishing our meal, we realized we would need to-go boxes, but since we had taken an Uber into Ann Arbor and the theater doesn't allow outside food, we were worried the leftovers would go to waste. Matt, the manager, came to the rescue and said he would be happy to hold our food until after the show. We were so grateful! Ben carefully boxed everything up, and we were off to the show. I cannot commend this business enough on their high-class team. A restaurant is made or broken by the staff they employ, and every single person we encountered went above and beyond in their professionalism, courteousness, and genuine hospitality. We will absolutely be making this a regular spot for our whole family and cannot wait to introduce it to our friends and extended family. Thank you again for a lovely evening!

I parked behind the building in a paid lot & it wasn't too expensive but filled up quick on the weekend.

    Wow. This place really raises the bar in every way possible…read more The drinks and desserts are the best I have had IN MY LIFE. Yes that's right. My husband said he had the nest hazy ipa of his life here too. A wild claim for foodies like us. They offer takeout in case you don't feel like crowding inside. AND they have the only pickle plate appetizer I have been able to find in the state of Michigan. Oh how i have missed these house pickles in different brines. The bartenders are not only incredibly talented and knowledgeable, they are friendly, cool, and so interesting! I think every single bartender I talked to over there had these attributes, and some even went above and beyond that too. I know, hard to believe, and the price tag matches. At least they are neither under or overrated? I come here for the bar atmosphere, the impeccable drinks and desserts and sometimes a snack. I prefer to go elsewhere for fresh oysters and dinner.

    We were in Ann Arbor for a few days and stopped in on a Thursday evening. So glad we did…read more They were doing a summer happy hour on the back patio with drinks, food and a live DJ playing everything from quirky '70s French music to Japanese tracks. Super mellow and perfect for a summer night. The staff was young, friendly and attentive and our server was great. Food is mostly tapas and various types of paella, with a solid drink selection including sangria. We tried a little bit of this & that and enjoyed it all. Yes, it's a little pricey, but you feel like you're somewhere worthy of the higher price tag. Great date night joint with a chill vibe. And FYI, the patio is dog-friendly!

We enjoy Vinology for the farm to table fresh menu offerings and seasonal changes they offer. The have a small section of tables outside, which is where like to dine, during nice weather.

We went with sharable's this evening which included: Marinated Olives, castelvetrano, cuquillo, manzillia & gordal olives marinated in citrus, cinnamon and clove. Nice portion and selection of Olives and very flavorful. We paired the Olives with a Charcuterie and Cheese tray; beehive pour me a slice cheddar, Beecher flagship smoked gruyere blend house flavored citrus goat cheese, colosseum genoa salami, maestro 600 day aged prosciutto and spianata piccante.
