Korean Food @ Seoul Garden

Few weeks back, we hav our family dinner at Seoul Garden. Just a simple weekend family dinner...It's hard to eat out when the elders are health conscious...afraid of heaty stuffs, oily or over seasoned food. But anyhow, this time is exceptional coz is sort of a b'day treat (not mine though!)....
Here's the plain looking menu

Browsing the menu, we decided to have set meal so that we could try out more dishes.
 this ah-lian did the ordering for us...meanwhile i was busy snapping pics
with no food to snap yet, i took the pic of the restaurant signboard (@ 1st floor of the shoplot)
For the set meal, we ordered grilled pork which also comes with Bibimbap
and Kimchi soup...
We decided to try out the Ginseng chicken soup too (which mum claims that her chicken soup taste much better than this!)
The 'banchan' (condiments) are aplenty...up to 12 varieties. I still think that their banchan sucks....i could get a better variety at Dao Rae or Mi Na Rae despite they offers 8-10 banchan.
Overall the food is so-so...nothing to shout about. There's more to try if you prefer set meal which are mostly sharing dishes for 2-3 person/4-5 persons.

Huh? I thought Seoul Garden is the fake Korean food buffet?
Err.. the samgyetang doesn't look too delicious to me too. It seems too... clear..

RealGunners: nope, that is a different Seoul Garden, which is a totally different concept. Yea, that soup was indeed clear, we ordered that coz my parent opted for something 'clear'.

when it comes to Korean food, i love the banchan the most!! probably i can say that i actually love these small plates of dishes more than the main dishes, hahahaha!! because i'm the kind of person who prefers variety and taste a little of everything :p

samgyetang is supposed to be clear right? The ginseng is supposed to be superior and there is stuffed glutinous rice inside the chicken.

If elders want to eat out and eat clear food, I think steamboat is the best provided you do not order processed meat but proper meat, fish, chicken, and lots of vege. Which Seoul Garden outlet is this?

SK: haha...u must have refill the banchan numerous times!

Mun: yea, samgyetang is supposed to be clear. Steamboat is out of our option coz of the long wait for tables :-(
This outlet is in Kuchai Entrepreneur Park, although I've been to other one in Tmn Desa. Both are similar chain.

Small Kucing: same here, will normally order set meal ;-)

Princess Ribbon: I never been to the Korean food buffet style, but i know Seoul Garden buffet has a branch in Puchong IOI new wing.

I always eat at Kuchai Entrepreneur Park but never notice this Seoul Garden before. Let me open my eyes bigger when I go there for food again.

Mun: the outlet is not so glaring compared to the other restaurants nearby, this place is located at first floor.

Yee Ling: yeapzz..once in a while is good;-)
