This might be my favorite Korean spot in HTX! My friends and I wanted a nice hearty meal late at night and thankfully Tree Garden is open until midnight so we decided to give this spot a try. There was plenty of parking and we were surprised to be the only ones to be in the restaurant on a Friday night. We ordered the following: Seafood Pancake Perfectly crispy with a good amount of seafood. I've been to numerous Korean places in HTX and wasn't too impressed with this specific dish but Tree Garden does it well! Marinated Beef Short Ribs w/buckwheat noodles I love that this restaurant offers this combo and I'd highly recommend this if you're craving both noodles and some protein! The noodles were so satisfying and they have slices of asian pear in it that adds a nice juicy, refreshing touch to the dish. The beef ribs were tender, savory, and full of flavor. Seafood Pure Tofu Hot Pot This was the star of the show in my opinion. My group had 4 people including me and we each got a large bowl. The broth was so delicious and with the silken tofu and seafood, this was our favorite dish of the night. Aside from the dishes we ordered, the banchan was fresh and delicious! Our favorite was the green beans which were savory and had a little bit of a kick to it. The ajuhmas working here were very friendly and did an amazing job at serving- we really appreciate how they served our bowls of soup and took care of the leftovers in to-go boxes. And at the very end of the meal, they serve Sikhye. Looking forward to coming back and trying everything else!

Entrance

I think I figured out why this restaurant is called Tree Garden. There is a forest around the corner alongside Oak Tree Drive on Long Point Road. The reason I came here was because Super Hmart was closed at 9:30 on Sunday. I pulled up my phone and searched the nearest Korean restaurant that was still open. The direction was clear but I had a hard time locating it. The parking lot is well lit but the sign was not obvious. I managed to find parking at the designated spot. As I walked in, I felt a little claustrophobic because of the tall cubicle walls. They were painted black. Although they provide privacy from the booth over. A friendly lady seated me by the entrance. She must know that I was hungry. We chatted for a bit as I learned it's been open for about 9 years. She frequently checked on me after my dish arrived. I ordered BEEF SMALL INTESTINE NAPA SOUP. The menu said it has tripe but I couldn't find it. This dish has a V symbol, which means it can be a vegetarian dish. Since the pork beef intestines were hard to chew, I made it vegetarian for myself. The banchan had smaller portions. I like them because they were delightful. Kimchi was flavorful. I asked for another bowl of rice ($2.00). Overall, I enjoyed my dinner here. I think I was the last customer at the time. I think I'll be back to try other dishes with V symbols.

tofu soup
Darian C.

I thought the tofu soup was good but super spicy. Bbq pork was good and seasoned well. I didn't think the banchan was that good though. The inside is separated into little booths which I didn't like as much but it allows for some privacy. The service wasn't that fast and they didn't really check on us that much which I don't really mind usually but I needed water for a while before they came.

Can't wait to try this fantastic restaurant out!! We love coming here! Every one is so nice and the food is delicious!

HOUSTON, TX 77055 / KOREAN / 07-25-24 / DINNER +Customer service was good, our waitress checked on us 3-4 times throughout our meal. +The banchan side dishes were superb. +All of the entrees were delicious. +The secluded tables are a nice setup, as you can better converse and a little more quiet than other Korean restaurants. +They provide refreshingly cold, roasted barley water. +At the end of the meal, they provide a fermented rice punch drink. -The portion sizes were a bit on the small side.

Seafood Pancake
Bryan V.

Seafood pancake here was balanced with a good amount of vegetables and seafood. It was the right amount of crispiness as well. The accompanying sauce was tangy and sweet. As for the seafood + soft tofu hot pot, it was quite a generous portion. I've never seen so much tofu in one pot before! Good variety of seafood as well such as octopus, clams, mussels etc. I feel that the hot pot broth was just a bit bland. It could've used either more garlic, soy sauce, or fish sauce even. Initially I enjoyed it but as I kept tasting the soup I realized I was mainly just getting red pepper powder water flavor. I recommend ordering ramen noodles to add to the hot pot. Side dishes here were nothing to write home about. I appreciated having a call button though!

Jessica Z.

Would give 10 stars if I could! This place has definitely made my top one Korean restaurant in Houston and I can't believe it took me this long to try it out. You are seated within cubicles which gives nice privacy and the staff were the sweetest people and made this an even more enjoyable dining experience. We ordered seafood pancake which was crispy and came with the garlic sweet sauce with a perfect seafood to batter ratio. We also ordered a beef and octopus hot pot which was the star of the show with large variety of vegetables and slices of beef and chewy octopus which the staff helped us cook, cut and serve to us. The broth was so flavorful that was spicy with a sweet undertone that made it so addicting. I also ordered a Korean ramen with egg which is such a comfort food and the broth was so spicy and flavorful. The side dishes are always such a great addition with their kimchi really giving a tangy kick to the rest of the meal. If you are looking for authentic Korean food with great service, please try this place out! Will for sure be a regular and would love to try out the rest of the menu in the future!

Since I was craving for tofu soup, I went there again last night and I can proudly say that this restaurant offers the best vegetarian tofu soup! :) They service is great and generous with the portion of foods! Amazing thing about Koran restaurant is that they give you a lot of delicious side dishes as a part of their service! I enjoy their amazing service a lot! You also get a nice privacy in the restaurant as they have walls around by tables. Very considerate! I'll keep coming here! :) If you have vegetarian friends, bring them here I'm sure they love it! :) Cheers

Always enjoyed this place for its authentic Korean options. Love the traditional private rooms/booths, not too crowded parking options. Good service overall but can get busy. The serving size can be generous but also pricey for KBBQ. I've enjoyed their short rib and decided to try the squid this time, the kimchee pancake is a hit, and the seafood noodle soup Jjamppong was very flavorful. I like how you can customize your spice levels on most every dish, and the menu is fairly descriptive. The small sides options are always good and may include Kimchi, sprouts, potatoes, pickled radish, fish cake, egg, etc. Overall, love the Koreatown area overall and this is one of the higher recommended places especially since they open late.

Pork belly and banchan fixings
Gin Y.

Let me preface this by saying that this spot gets 5 stars for their cubicle style seating. It's nice to have a little bubble for just our group to dine in. There's even a call button if we needed anything from our waitress. Otherwise, the food was a hit or miss. Plus, it was really expensive for the amount they gave us. Here's a breakdown of what we ordered: Pork belly (4/5): It was pretty good. But, I think this was standard pork belly compared to other Korean restaurants. Banchan (3/5): I've definitely had better and more flavorful banchan. I was hoping for Korean potato salad banchan. None here. Seafood pancake (3/5): It was kind of bland. I've definitely had better. Even the sauce that came with it was just alright Japchae (4/5): It was delicious and flavorful. But, I couldn't give it 5 stars because they gave us so little of it for the price. Seaweed roll (4/5): I loved this. So umami with the seaweed outside and sesame flavored glass noodles. I didn't give a full 5 stars because of price and amount. Fried rice with fried egg on top (4/5): Delicious. Flavorful. Umami. Wished they'd given us more because I enjoyed eating this. Overall, it's hard to say that we'd come back again. It was expensive to eat here, and not feel gypped with the portion sizes we received.

Jap chae
Jackie C.

Very non-descript on the outside in a run-down looking strip mall but definitely a diamond in the rough. The interior is very cute and traditional looking with private rooms and cute booths. Servers are very courteous and they have a call button at every table which is very convenient, and also necessary with the way the restaurant is set up. The food here is delicious. We love the japchae, dumplings, dukbokki, seafood pancake, oyster pancake, tofu soups, and the army stew. Everything is flavorful and amazing. However, the side dishes are only ok and their barley tea lacks flavor. But for the most part, their food is great and we will definitely we back.

Stir-fried pork belly and kimchi, Jjajangmyeon, Seafood tofu soup, side dishes
Nina T.

One of the best Korean restaurants that I've been to! They have authentic Korean food and private dining areas/booths. The food is amazing and the service is good as well. We ordered Jjajangmyeon (not the best, I expected a stronger/more flavorful black bean taste), LA Galbi (recommended), stir-fried kimchi and pork belly, and seafood tofu soup. There were not many side dishes but they're ALL SO GOOD so we asked for a refill. Definitely coming back to try other dishes.

Patty C.

Located in the Koreatown area, this place was recommended to me by a friend, and I'm glad I took his recommendation! The big allure of this establishment is the seating. You get your own sectioned off cubicle to eat in. There's also a bell to summon a waitress. I have visited twice now--once for kbbq and once for a hot soup. The menu is pretty varied and offers group meals as well. Definitely go for the short rib if you want the ultimate kbbq experience. The pork belly was good, but the short rib was phenomenal... super delicious and tender. My sundubu was tasty, and the broth was tasty. I wish there was a bit more seafood included. The chive pancake was nice, though I prefer thinner. Definitely keeping this in my rotation!

On top of that, we still hadn't received the water and alcohol we had requested at the beginning. We had to track down a server ourselves just to get our drinks. There wasn't really an apology--just an "okay" kind of reaction. I understand restaurants get busy, but it wasn't even crowded. After that, no one came back to check on us. When we were finished eating, we had to walk up to the front to pay because no server ever came by. Overall, the service was very slow and disappointing. As for the food, I'd give it about a 5-6/10. It was pretty mediocre--just basic Korean food without much flavor or anything memorable. I recently moved here from California and have been searching for really good Korean food in Houston, but unfortunately this wasn't it.

Inside it's a nice restaurant with an upscale feel to it. I ordered a house salad for $9 to start and the Pasta Rosa entree for another $28. The salad arrived first with a generous amount of romaine lettuce with diced tomatoes, cucumber, shredded carrots and chopped eggs on top. With my chosen ranch dressing it was a good tasting salad. The Pasta Rosa dish had sliced Parmesan strips on top of penne with shrimp, crawfish and sausage for the protein with mushrooms and a tomato cream sauce. This meal initially tricked me. My first impression was that while there was plenty of protein the taste of the tomato cream sauce was lacking some flavor. I expected more. However as I kept eating and getting beyond the top layer of the food the flavor increased significantly. I think that the proteins caused the sauce in the lower half of the dish to create more punch. This dish got better and better and I changed my mind. It turned out to be a very good tasting and filling meal. Finally the table service was very good too. P.S. I also tried part of another appetizer which was the bar b q shrimp for $16. They were tasty. I like Rouxpour and would return. My only negative is that their prices are a little on the high side in my opinion.

I wandered in not expecting much, but my experience here ended up much better than I thought…read more I went with their August prix fixe and went with their Truffle Deviled Eggs, Crispy Sweet & Sour Shrimp, and Key Lime Tart. The deviled eggs make good comfort food and was satisfying. This version doesn't have much of a kick, but it's very creamy and you can definitely taste the truffle oil. The homemade potato chips also add to the texture and salt between bites. The shrimp dish was fun with a light and crispy batter, well-seasoned and drizzled with sweet chili sauce. The cool ranch surprisingly added to the shrimp and enhanced the chili sauce rather than overwhelming it. The made-in-house fries were far better than expected. I was somewhat expecting dense, oily, boring fries, but these were very crisp and somehow didn't feel too greasy as far as fries goes. Almost seemed like an injustice for it to be served with ketchup as it was too good for it. Lastly, the tart was a great way to end the meal without it being too much. Loved the crust. The tart shell tasted really good and went well with the filling, which had a lighter consistency than pudding. Fruits tasted like they were on season, even though it should be a bit too late for strawberries. I'm also a sucker for meringue. I'll have to come back to see if it wasn't a fluke, but there were a lot of dishes here that looked good. Maybe even swing by for happy hour, we'll see.

The meatballs and tomato sauce were both solid and I loved the toasted bread on the side. As for the truffle deviled eggs, that's something you don't see often on the menu! The truffle flavor/aroma was solid and the fresh chips on top were nice. The cheeseburger was pretty good and I enjoyed all the veggies that came with!
