Let's talk about Korean New Year's Soup! I was pleased to learn last year, they were open on Jan 1 for the new year. This meant that I was able to eat the traditional Korean New Year's Soup for good luck, health, and happiness. I had always ordered other soups, but what I love about this place is the consistency of always having the soups come out exactly the same. I stopped by again this New Year, and the gentleman who served us is always focused to ensure everything was aligned and served well. The banchan (side dishes) were always filled when needed. The calm but filled restaurant shows that this is truly a staple in the Parma area, and it was such a pleasant "taste of home" for someone who is half Korean. You know it slaps when the parking lot is filled, and their phones are ringing non-stop. The culture the restaurant brings also invites locals who are trying Korean food for the first time. I truly admire how the place represents that it's owned by hard working people who extend the value of our community. read more

This place is an awesome little hole-in-the-wall. It's definitely a staple for the Korean food scene here in Cleveland. The food was really good, though I was a little upset that they didn't have tofu available when I went, even though the online menu said otherwise. Still, everything else hit the spot. I also love that they have photos of the items on the menu--it makes ordering so much easier. It's a great spot for large groups and the service was solid. If you're looking for authentic Korean vibes, this is the place to go. read more

A friend brought us here while we were visiting town and so happy they did! We ordered about 5 dishes and shared everything family style. The food was all flavorful and adequate portion sizes for the price. They bring out a variety of sides and rice with the dishes. The fried chicken dish was phenomenal so I would definitely recommend getting that dish. Service was good and they accommodated our party with 2 young kids. The ambiance is very casual but comfortable. I would return if in the Parma area again. read more

Fantastic food and service as usual. Delicious banchan. Blazing hot galbi tang soup with lots of big chunks of fall off the bone meat. Spicy squid was in huge portion and had lots of squid and veggies. The eel is fantastic. Big portion, super sweet and fatty with teriyaki sauce. read more

Ok - this place is legit amazing! The prices seem steep, but the quality and amount of food is SO worth it. We ordered an appetizer and two entreés, but definitely could've shared a main dish (but leftovers are such a bonus!) Don't expect a lot of ambiance - this place puts its heart into their delicious dishes. Seoul Garden is a must try! read more

Seoul Garden - Khan Poong Gi, Jaeyook, and Shumai - Korean Near Me - Parma, Ohio

I went in Sat and ordered an appetizer (fried dumplings) with a soda to see if I would like a main entree. The eating area with very small, packed and crowded and my table was a card table with a small folded wooden chair. The dumplings tasted lousy and were half cold. I couldn't barley taste the dipping sauce for the dumplings. I had a can of coke. I just finished my coke and hauled ass out of there. I wouldn't go back. read more

Food much better than my last visit although service was slim. Poor fella running the show all by himself. Like literally running table to kitchen to table. The kimchi was just okay. The Costco kimchi is way better. But the pickled daikon and cucumbers were good. Very red but not spicy. I got grilled mackerel, salted well and came out on a sizzling platter. The waiter put a paper towel on top and said not to touch it for 3 minutes. Few small bones so be careful. Big fan of the beef teriyaki, almost tasted like Korean bbq with slices of steak. Oh bummer they forgot our dumplings too. But we were plenty full by the end read more

This is a really good Korean food place in Cleveland. This was our first meal in Cleveland and it started out great. I love the seafood pancake and the fried chicken in sweet and sour sauce. It was pretty addicting taking every bite! The galbi ribs were delicious and well flavored! I highly recommend if you're in Cleveland! read more

Everything is incredible here! If you haven't been to Seoul Garden yet, please go give them a try! There's something so comforting about a hot bowl of jiggae on a cold day. Or a HUGE plate of japchae. Would highly recommend getting the bulgogi or galbi. I think I had an out of body experience when I had the galbi, it just HIT THE SPOT. So tender, so flavorful. Added bonus, you also get a few banchan sides, which you can see pics of. The place has lot parking so there's no worry about finding parking unless it is packed. They can accommodate larger groups but would recommend calling ahead to see how busy they are. It would be easy to get a few dishes to split. I've only gone for dinner but they do offer lunch as well. read more

It's been a while since I've gone to Seoul Garden. Last time I came, I noticed the prices have hiked drastically. Unfortunately, this time was no different.. The food was good, but I wouldn't say that anything was amazing. The galbi in particular was extremely chewy and I am not sure how one actually eats it. It was definitely not overcooked as it was still semi red inside, but it was very difficult to chew without swallowing whole. The seafood pancake was okay as well. Barely any seafood, which didn't leave a good impression. Overall, for the price we paid, we didn't walk out stuffed or feeling satisfied when we craved for Korean food that night. read more

Ordered the 12 piece tteokbokki, soondubu jjigae with kimchi added, kanpungi fried chicken. $66.80 It's quite loud and animated inside here. The fried chicken isn't what we were expecting at all. Looks like an unexpected fried chicken dish smothered in sweet sauce. Neither of us is fond of it at all and had instant buyer's remorse. The steamed egg isn't so good, quite flat, not very fluffy and not super flavorful. The banchans: fish cake, seaweed, bean sprouts, radish kimchi, kimchi and cucumber kimchi. The radish kimchi is the better of all of the banchans to me. The tteokbokki has long scored pieces, nice and chewy and not overcooked. The sauce is a bit odd and sweet, can't pinpoint the seasoning that's a bit off putting to me though. The rice cakes are nicely cooked and it's different to get the longer pieces here. Only one piece that wasn't quite cooked enough. The tofu soup tastes good, just has a ton of white onions in it, took maybe half of what was in the soup out. The tteokbokki and tofu soup were average. Service was good here at least. read more

So amazing!! You can really tell they put their heart and soul into the food. The flavors were fantastic. Our waitress made recommendations since we're new to Korean dishes. She was running around like crazy because the place was packed. I'd drive an hour and fifteen mins from home back to this place!! There's no real ambience but I can look past it. Highly recommend. read more

Authentic Korean soul food that warmed this Koreans soul. My partner and I were craving very specific dishes that aren't as easy to find here in CLE. We were so glad we chose to eat here. The food satisfied our cravings and the portions are so generous we had leftovers to enjoy the next day. My issues with the soondubu though, the tofu was broken up way too much. I wish they were a bit gentler with it so that there would be larger pieces of tofu and less onion. Otherwise taste was just what I was expecting and looking for. They were really busy on a Friday evening and only two people servers but they were working non stop and making sure everyone got what they wanted. The restaurant gives off the cozy/homey restaurant vibes we were used to in Chicago. Can't wait to come back. read more

To start, the food was phenomenal. I just gotten back from my month long Korea trip and missed a tasty Korean meal, consequently, my cousin had recommended this spot to me as it is a locals special. The first bite brought me straight back to the streets of Seoul, with its authentic rich flavors and amazing selection, I would highly recommend this to anyone in the area, or those willing to drive a little bit from Cleveland. Secondly, the service was mediocre. Unfortunately, they seemed to have one staff member working the entire restaurant, from seating tables, taking orders, refilling waters, bringing the food out, and taking our dishes, this one worker was putting in the extra effort. Overall, Seoul Garden was a 4/5! The only thing holding them back from being that golden gem was unfortunately the poor service, it appears to be due to understaffing. (I got the Kimchi Stew it was delicious!) read more

This place is absolutely amazing! Very authentic with a good amount of variety on the menu. The galbi tang and sundubu are both delicious. Portion sizes are generous and prices are comparable to other Korean restaurants. The second time I came here, they included tea and a steamed egg in our banchan which were nice surprises! read more

Friends love this place for Korean food! For me it was okay, but them I am spoiled by 310 and 714. Service is pretty good, vegetable pancake is forgettable, galbi is decent, bibimbap does the job, galbi tang is perfectly serviceable... They have their own building and own lot with just enough parking, and given that Cleveland is not exactly a Korean food mecca, you have to take what you can get-- and to that end I am more than pleased that Seoul Garden is here. read more

Really good!! Hole in the wall serving authentic Korean food. Spicy and delish. Highly recommend!

We had been looking for a Korean restaurant for awhile and this one hit the spot! We love hot pot and went for the meat hot pot consisting of spam, hot dogs, veggies, and noodles. It was VERY spicy, but if you like spicy I say try it! We were definitely sweating a bit. Worth it! They gave us multiple rounds of sides which we love to eat during our meal and with different ingredients in the hot pot. Also, who doesn't love SOJU! They had multiple flavors to choose from. We will definitely be back! read more

My niece has been so excited about South Korea and learning Korean, so I decided to take her to Korean BBQ. When I searched for Korean BBQ nearby, I found this establishment and I'm glad I did. Upon entry to the quaint and cozy restaurant, we were seated immediately. There was only one waiter in the restaurant and he worked his tail off! I never seen such efficient service from one person. But it would be great, it had another waiter to help him out. The food came out which was a lot! But we enjoyed every bit of it. Especially the dumplings!!! This restaurant is definitely worth the visit! read more

This is the best Korean restaurant in the Cleveland area in my opinion! I've been able to come here a few time both takeout and eating in. The restaurant itself is simple- maybe a little messy, but plenty of tables! The servers were super nice and gave good suggestions. My favorite thing on the menu is the tteokbokki. the rice cakes they use are so looooooooong and the sauce is perfectly spicy. I usually will also get japchae, bibimbop, and a soup like spicy seafood or spicy kimchi. The flavors are just amazing. I can't say anything about the BBQ as I did not have the opportunity to try it. I will note the prices are a tad higher than other Cleveland spots like Miega or Ha Ahn in Asiatown. Miega used to be my go to place, but I think Seoul Garden has replaced it! read more

Great food and great service every time! I only gave 4 stars stars because they don't have kimbap on the menu. I go to other Korean restaurants when I want kimbap but I live closer to this Koresn restaurant so I would come here every time for korean food if they had kimbap. read more

Dropped by on a whim with my friends because we were in the area for errands and we were not disappointed! The outside of the restaurant doesn't look like much, but when we walked in I could immediately tell it was authentic. The prices are a bit steep but the portions are hefty. The japchae was the best I've had in Cleveland for sure. All the dishes were super flavorful and filling. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area!! read more

**1st Time Experience** Seated immediately for 2 from an attentive waiter on a weekday. Food came out at a timely manner. Place was clean and pleasant. Galbi Tang - tender, tasty and comforting. Seafood Jungol could feed 2 to 3 people. Would eat here again if ever in the area again. read more

While there aren't that many vegetarian or pescatarian options and it's quite a drive away, I highly recommend Seoul Garden for delicious Korean fare. Large parking. Comfortable booth seating. Great for big groups. Excellent attentive service. Make sure to try the barley tea or a delicious light beer like Terra. Some of the best shumai and eel dinner I've ever had. Make sure to try the Gyeranjjim, a Korean savory egg custard dish. Comes bubbling hot and served in earthware. Great complement to any dish! read more

Love this place and love the people. Great food - always fresh. Love the Kimchi Stew...the leftovers make a great breakfast (add an egg or two). Everyone I have taken there has loved their meals too. The short ribs the Japchae, all the sides - wonderful. read more

I forgot that I visited this Korean restaurant in November 2020 with my Indian friend. At the end of the review, you'll see PHOTOS and a VIDEO attached which will give you a nice visual of what we ate on that winter night. When my friend and I arrived, there were maybe 1 or 2 other tables occupied with people so the restaurant was not too busy which was nice given we were still living in the COVID pandemic then. FOOD -- I ordered the seafood pancake and beef bulgogi. I loved the seafood pancake which is similar to the Japanese Okinoyami version. I enjoyed the seafood pancake which was all savory. The beef bulgogi was slightly too sweet for my palate. SERVICE (free tea and banchan) -- I appreciated the friendly demeanor of all staff members. The complimentary tea (corn and barley tea) and the complimentary BANCHAN, which are vegetable side dishes, gave an extra touch to the overall service. If I'm ever in the neighbourhood, I won't mind stopping by again. **** - 34/150 total reviews in 2022 - 512 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 28 March 2022 read more

I have to first state that the waitress here is superwoman. She's a one woman show but takes orders, brings them out, gets anything you requests and cleans up! We had the Galbi and Bulbogi as far as meats along with the Pork kimchi soup. Everything was delicious! As far as sides their Kim chi was a little on the sweet side which I enjoyed. read more

Seoul Garden has always been known in Cleveland for home cooked Korean fare and never disappoints! The servers are always friendly and welcome you in. If you are coming in on a weekend I would definitely recommend a reservation, the room fills up quick! I would always recommend the tteokbokki(spice scared beware) and the seafood pancake, which are classics every time we come here. Last time we tried sah chul tang by recommendation and really enjoyed it! Will definitely be adding to the rotation I would definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for warm, cozy comfort food. A must try! read more

You know a place is good when a crowd is forming waiting for them to open. And when that crowd is mostly Koreans at a Korean place. It was nearby, and got good reviews, so we went here. Lots of interesting stuff on the menu, but I went with the basics, Bulgogi. It was very good. Lots of tender, tasty beef. More vegetables than at some places. Perfectly cooked rice to the side. The banchan, as always, was probably my favorite part of the meal. Loads of pickled veggies, some spicy. They also brought a bowl of hot egg soup. I don't know what it actually is. But sort of like scrambled eggs in some broth. Steaming hot and bubbly when it arrived. Bland, but a good counterpoint to some of the heat. I gobbled it all up, and got refills on some of the banchan. Canned pop, good service, good prices for the quality. I left stuffed and happy. This is the kind of place where they put the money and effort into the food, not the decor. It's nice enough inside and out, but nothing fancy. Looks like they have a party room across the way. read more

Such a great Korean restaurant! I'm a Korean American who moved to Cleveland about 2 years ago and have been on the hunt for good Korean food. After multiple recommendations to check out this place, I finally made it! We came during lunch and were greeted warmly and seated immediately. We ordered the galbi lunchbox and the kimchi stew. Both were very delicious and affordably-priced! There were lots of free side dishes, including the steamed egg (which is a nice surprise)! The vibe reminds me of a traditional Korean restaurant that you see in Los Angeles, which was very nostalgic and reminded me of home. The staff are super friendly and quick to offer refills of drinks and side dishes. 10/10 recommend! read more

Friendly helpful staff, tasty food with a good variety, Service was good and nice relaxed atmosphere.

Cute little hole in the wall place. Definitely not anything fancy, but the food made the trek to Parma worth it. We brought a large group and our whole party left satisfied. The fried dumplings started us off. A little salty for me but still delicious. Beef bulgogi was also very salty and had no spice to it. It was saved by adding the Tteokbokki to it - which was too much heat on its own. Very authentic and can't wait to try more! read more
