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!

I was impressed by the portion size, because each half could've been placed in a separate bowl, add more broth (shaved ice and a slice of Korean pear optional), and that's two portions in most places. Historically, these noodle dishes were a rare treat and a delicacy, as these noodles were very labor intensive and hard to make (although I'm sure they're mass produced now), and had to be served cold in the summer heat. Banchan was tasty too, including the kimchi which was early in the fermentation stage. The kimchi pancake was huge, definitely had to take this one to go, and came with an optional Korean-style spicy soy dipping sauce. I ordered the combo and went with the Bulgogi, which was tender and tasty, but didn't come sizzling so the pan it came in was more for display. Still, great good, fantastic value, and definitely the real deal. It's not as fancy as some of the more expensive neighborhoods of Houston (and a bit out of the way for me), but sometimes you just want some really tasty and unpretentious Korean comfort food.

As a Korean, tofu soup is a staple for me, and this place is easily one of the best I've been to…read more Honestly, I'd even rank it above most places I used to go to in LA--only BCD is still up there with it. They make their tofu in-house, and you can really taste the difference. The soup is rich, comforting, and flavorful without tasting overloaded with MSG. It's the kind of meal that just warms your soul. We also ordered the cheese tonkatsu, and my husband got the seolleongtang. We normally aren't fans of cheese tonkatsu--in fact, we didn't even realize it had cheese in it when we ordered it--but wow... it was actually so good. Definitely a pleasant surprise. My husband's seolleongtang was amazing too. The banchan was fresh and well-prepared, and every dish we had was delicious. The service was absolutely perfect. The ladies working there were incredibly kind and even brought my husband extra noodles for his soup without us asking. That small gesture really made our experience even more memorable. Thank you so much! There's a decent amount of parking, but dinner time gets pretty busy, so I'd recommend arriving early since it's not a very large restaurant. 10/10. This is definitely one of our favorite Korean restaurants in Houston, and we'll absolutely be back.

This is probably one of our favorite Korean BBQ spots in Houston…read more It's all-you-can-eat and even includes sushi and sashimi. Personally, I haven't tried those because Korean BBQ and sushi together just feels a little odd to me. I grew up in LA where we usually went to separate places for each, but I'm sure plenty of people enjoy having both options. The meat quality is really good, and everything is well-seasoned and flavorful. My only complaint is the soups--they don't really taste like the traditional Korean soups they're supposed to be. They could definitely use some improvement. That said, other side dishes like the tteokbokki are actually really good. For the price, it's an excellent value. The service is usually good, although it can be a little inconsistent depending on your server. One thing I really like is that they include dessert, such as Korean ice cream bars, regular ice cream, and other sweet treats. We've been here several times already and definitely plan on coming back. There's also a huge parking lot, and the area has plenty of cafés and other places to visit afterward, which makes it a great spot for a meal and a day out.

That said, the consistency of both service and food quality between visits can be noticeable. Service can be very slow at times, even when the restaurant isn't particularly busy. We've had issues with banchan not being brought out, grills not being turned on, and fish orders taking nearly an hour to arrive. Food quality can also be hit or miss. For example, the Cheese Crab Puffs have occasionally arrived completely cold with barely any crispiness or color, and we've had similar issues with other appetizers. My favorites are the Garlic Salmon Sashimi, Black Angus Marinated Short Rib, Wagyu Beef Belly, Black Angus Rib Finger, and Thick Cut Pork Belly. I also enjoy the Takoyaki, Crispy Tuna Rice, and Tteokbokki. There are a few dishes I would skip, including the Spicy Scallop Sashimi and Nigiri unless you enjoy very small scallops, the Baked Green Mussels, which are overly sweet, and the Prime Beef Brisket, which I've found to be tough and dry. Overall, there are plenty of dishes I genuinely enjoy here, but the inconsistency keeps this from being a place I can wholeheartedly recommend. When everything is executed well, it's a great meal, but you never quite know what kind of experience you're going to get. That being said, I tend to get good ones the majority of the time.

This spot is located in a small plaza next to a busy trampoline park, and inside, it's very clean and well maintained. Each table has a menu of the offerings WITH pictures (so you don't have to scour Yelp like I usually do for pictures....). The waitresses come by to help answer any questions if you have any. To be honest, I think the menu tablets are a bit overkill since they have a small enough menu to look though, but it is good for people who aren't familiar with Korean food or the establishment itself. What's nice is you can get many of the dishes with noodles or rice as your starch of choice. 10/10 Jjamppong - the broth is flavorful, seafood rich, and noodles perfectly bouncy. SOO good. I couldn't finish the whole bowl, so it's easily shareable. 7/10 Chicken Fried Rice. It's expensive for the amount of rice you get. Flavor is good, but there's not a lot of chicken. Would suggest an appetizer as well if you want to stay full. This location does not have unlimited pickled radishes like the Spring Branch location. All in all, I really liked the food - I'll only really come back here for the noodle soup, but that's enough for me since they specialize in both the jjamppong and jiajangmyeon.
