Seo La Bul Garden

Delicious yuk gae jang. .my favorite favorite favorite soup! I’d have to say that out of all the korean places I’ve tried, this place has the BEST yuk gae jang in town. The soup was spicy, but too spicy for me and it had a GOOD amount of shredded beef and veggies and noodles.
The service was great (maybe because we came on a slow night?) but our waitress was very attentive and always made sure we had enough water and ban chan. Oh, and about the ban chan — they had a good variety and had all my favoties (except for jab chae, but not very many places serve jab chae as a side dish)…Overall a great experience here!

I ate here twice now and have been satisfied both times.
They have an extenssive lunch special list. The portions are large and the lunch ptices are very reasonable.
Last time I went, I ordered the following for our tabel of three:
– Spicky pork
– Kimchi stew
– Seafood pancakes
– Grilled croaker
We were satisfied with all the dishes. I also like the arrary of banchan. And best of all, the service is great which is rare to find at Korean joints.
The total damage including tip was $ 56.

I’ve got an EDIT down there.
I’ve always been a fan of Korean cuisine since I was born. Having lived and dined all around Dallas for a quarter century now, I’ve got quite the palate for exotic types of food. A couple of nights ago, a group of friends of mine and I went out for our monthly dinner at a Korean restaurant called Seo La Bul Garden over in the «Korea town» area of Northwest Dallas. The restaurant is located in the north corner of the strip next to a small Korean/​French bakery and a Korean movie rental store. You can’t miss the big glowing neon sign!
As soon as you get out of your car, the smell of Korean barbeque heightens your olfactory senses so much so you power-​walk ahead of your group to rush inside to fully absorb yourself into this wonderful goodness.
When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a hostess and a server and taken to our table of eight. On our way to our table, I noticed a beautifully arranged salt water fish tank with «Nemo.» I was jokingly thinking, «Are they going to serve him too?» The dcor inside is actually quite Asian-​esque with wood flooring and matching wooden wall panels. The lighting inside is not too bright or too dark as it’s coming from tissue paper lamps off of the walls. We were seated in the middle of the restaurant where we were sort of separated from the rest of the area by wooden room dividers with the tissue paper design matching the lamps.
Shortly after we ordered our dishes, the servers brought our drinks and «ban-​chan,» which are side dishes that are shared at the table. At most Korean restaurants, ban-​chan usually comes complimentary with your main dish and the variety served varies from restaurant to restaurant. That night our variety consisted of spicy fish cakes, seasoned and sliced cucumbers, kim chi (pickled cabbage with red peppers), cold seasoned mashed potatoes, soy sauce seasoned dried anchovies, garlic and apple vinegar seasoned seaweed, garlic and sesame oil seasoned bean sprouts, and as a special we got a big steamed egg casserole compliments from the chef because of our group’s size. Getting free food for a large group sounds like a deal to me!
I couldn’t wait any longer! I ordered «Tuk pae gi bul go gi.» Don’t let the name scare you; it’s actually a soup that’s made with Korean style barbeque beef, with green onions and slices of rice cakes. Just because it’s in soup form doesn’t mean the taste is watered down. The soup has hints of garlic, sesame seed oil, and soy sauce which just unleashes it’s combo of flavor to your palate.
Another dish that I recommend is «Dong ga su»; a fried pork cutlet with a tangy dipping sauce. Now this place serves it right. Other Japanese and Korean restaurants serve the pork cutlet right on top of a bed of rice or just plain on a dish which causes the breading to get soggy. Here, they actually serve it right off a grill plate so that it stays crispy and crunchy till your last bite.
Old school Koreans traditionally just call out loudly to get a servers attention, but the new trend is that at each table there’s a button that signals your server if you need anything. Our servers were actually quite attentive that we didn’t even have to push the button to ask for more refills or anything else. The service was great from start to finish. They didn’t even hesitate when we asked for separate checks.
In addition to my meal they also serve other types of barbeque, grilled meats, stews, noodles, rice bowls and sushi at the mini sushi bar in the rear of the restaurant. You would think with everything that comes with your meal, it adds up to a big ticket, but it’s quite affordable.
They’re open till 10 PM and later if you RSVP with a large group. You should try some K-​food on your next night out!
**Edit**
This business is now closed. Supposedly business has been going downhill (unfortunately) and finally took it’s last straw. The current business owner couldn’t keep up with pay rent any longer and took off. As far as I can remember, this is the second time that a business at this location went broke. The first business owner started the business, sold the business before it even started, and failed to pay the construction contractor, the electrician, and the plumber for setting the whole place up (my dad was the plumber who got screwed from this). This is why my parents are picky about going to some Korean Restaurants. I will never go to Korea House ever again due to their shady business practices. It’s a shame that some Korean restaurants have great food, but have SHITTY MANAGEMENT.

Second time going there last night and this time we tried the all-​u-​can-​eat bbq. Plenty of panchan, if you run out and you like what you had, you can ask for refills, on top of that if you get the all you can eat meat, how it works here is if you finish one plate of meat, you can ask for more.
Since it was our first time going there for bbq, our waittress gave us the how to.
If you are coming for bbq, you are seated in the areas where there is an a table with an opening in the middle for bbqing your meat on the grill. The waittress sets up everything for you and all you do is place the raw meat on the grill to cook as you go.
Excellent and they bring you hot tea as you are seated, upon finishing meal, each person is given a cup of sugarcane drink, yum friggin yum.
We couldnt even finish our first plate of meat, probably because we ate too much of the side dishes brought out to us, but i cant help it because i havent had my fill of korean food in a while so i had to have some. Oh well, there is always next time.
For the 2 of us at the all-​u-​can-​eat bbq and all panchan you can have with hot tea and a soda, total came to about 37 bucks and some change… pretty darn good for 2 people.
