  Food is delicious! Yaki mandu is always hot and freshly made. If you like your food spicy I suggest you get the BBQ pork it's super tender and delicious. It is spicy but not too overwhelming! The bulgogi is flavorful my kids ate it up!

  I have had Korean Garden bookmarked the entire time I have lived in Kansas, so after four years of waiting, my expectations were high.  The only reason we ate here is that we landed from Ireland and our bodies were 6 hours ahead of the time, so we could have an early dinner.  I drove to JC and saw a full parking lot, a good sign.  We arrived at 6:15.  We thought it was open until 7:30 PM, but the restaurant actually closes at 7:00 PM and stops taking customers before then except for to go orders.
  
  Eric R. was feeling under the weather from our trip, so he ordered the yukgaejang, spicy beef soup.  I ordered the dolsot bimibap with octopus.  The server initially tried to talk me out of getting octopus, saying it is "too chewy for ladies."  However, I really wanted it, and Eric R. told her I have had it before so just let me order it.
  
  Five banchan arrived: radish kimchi, broccoli with sesame oil, soy-marinated potatoes, bean sprouts with sesame oil, and cold yam noodle.  The server gave each of us a bowl of rice.  I knew I should not have received it because I ordered a rice dish, but I sampled some of Eric's soup with my rice since his came out first, filled with delicious egg and green onions.  The chef/owner? came from the back and said I should not have received rice, but I already had eaten from it so...too late/not my fault?
  
  My dish came out sizzling with vegetables, octopus, rice, and gochujang.  The sauce was already mixed in rather than served on the side.  Both Eric R. and I were happily sweating and draining our sinuses on these dishes, which were both very tasty and spicy.  It was just what we needed!  We were able to get refills on some of the banchan too.  At 6:45 PM, I noticed the sign in the window was switched to closed, and people were turned away even though the restaurant's hours were til 7:00 PM.  I am not sure why this popular place would want to close so early (especially on weekends as this was a Friday night), because it would definitely get more business if it stayed open.  Pusan (its main competitor) closed down a month or so ago too.
  
  At any rate, we finally tried it, the food was good, and I took my leftovers home for a good lunch the next day.  I would come back and try more, and hopefully before another four years goes by.

  First time here today. Their bi bim bap was spot on. I was unsure what to order due to , in my opinion, a quite different (and small) selection of food, but the waitress was very nice & helpful. I showed her pictures that others had posted, she went thru them with me & we decided on the chicken bulgogi. It was awesome! Service was fantastic. Yaki mandu not the best that I have had, but it was good.

  Wow! Too bad this place isn't open for dinner during the week. Just had lunch here today and it was delicious! I usually don't like to go to a Korean restaurant while I'm on the road. Because it's hard to find and hard to find decent ones. However, this place was good. Better than good. Really wished this place will be open for dinner since I will be going back home tomorrow. Maybe next time.

  This is good korean food for Kansas! My husband and I are from LA and we love kbbq. This is our favorite asian restaurant in town! They have a really good lunch box (bbq beef is the best) special that will give you a food coma.
