Visited Ilsong Garden a few weeks ago to have some Kimchi Jjigae and tea. The restaurant felt old school Korean and homely. The banchan was on an open bar and delicious. I especially enjoyed the fishcake, cucumber kimchi and the potato banchan. Staff was calm and efficient. Overall I enjoyed the meal a lot. Thank you
CLOSED ON TUESDAY Very nice place for authentic Korean food! A friend of mine was stationed in Korea for a few years, and he said this is the closest he’s found to the real thing. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the restaurant was very clean. Perfect spot for anyone craving genuine Korean flavors!
I’m Korean and this is the best Korean restaurant I’ve ever been in San Antonio. I had cod fish soup and I felt like i’m in my hometown. My husband ordered spicy bulgogi and it was sooo good too. It was so authentic and spicy enough as well. I highly recommend to try some bulgogi and cod fish soup! If you are Korean, you will absolutely love the food here! I love the unlimited banchan too
Hard to enjoy your food when you look up and see what looks like mold looming above you in the vents, the water damage and paint peeling, nothing wrong with the server, I cannot complain about him Seafood pancake was greasy and unseasoned, while also having a floury starchy texture on the inside. Beef Bulgogi, was bland, and was hot for about 3 minutes after it came to the table Soon Du Bu (seafood soybean soup) was right along the lines of an instant ramen Glass of Water (not pictured) had particulates at the bottom of the glass. Hope I don’t get sick after spending a grand total of $62.23 for two entrees an app, and a Dr.Pepper
Husband and I had the AYCE KBBQ dinner on a Saturday night, they’re open until 1:30am! AYCE includes appetizers, we ordered the fried dumplings, seafood pancake and spicy rice cakes. All the appetizers were served hot and tasted fresh! Best tteokbokki I’ve ever had! First time my husband has ever had tteokbokki and he liked it a lot! The fried dumplings were crispy and super flavorful! The seafood pancake had plenty of seafood inside and on top with a nice crispy bottom! They also have a self serve banchan station included with the meal. For our meats, we ordered the beef ribeye, beef bulgogi, la kalbi and spicy pork bulgogi. All the meats were well seasoned with generous portions! Our server was attentive and made sure we enjoyed our meal. We enjoyed our dinner and left full and happy. We will definitely be back soon!
