Reviews Seocho Garden

It is an all you can eat menu and the meat is really good quality. It was super delicious. All of the sides are well prepared. They are very attentive and will always be around to get you anything you need and want. The Soju is very good. They do take pictures of all their guests that they hang on the entry wall which is cute, but if you decide to go their often expect to have multiple pictures of there from their biggest fan. Great Korean food place!

It's been about 10 years since I've been here at Seocho Garden in Lisle. I don't know if it's the same owner but the lady server is still not too friendly but the guy server is still nice so nothing has really changed. That's why I took away 1 star. But it doesn't really stop me from coming because the food is still yummy. It is a $40 per person all you can eat Korean BBQ with plenty of delicious side dishes and meats to choose from. You can also have 1 noodle per person and my girlfriend picked their spicy cold buckwheat noodle and she said it was delicious and my cold buckwheat noodle was amazing! The broth was soooo good! I know you would say why would you eat noodles at an AYCE buffet but I have been CRAVING some cold noodles and it was chewy and delicious and just amazing! They didn't have lettuce which I was a little disappointed so we wrap our meat in it but the guy server compensated us with spicy scallion instead and that was just as good. Is it expensive? I really don't think so if you can eat bc nowadays you can't leave a restaurant for 2 without spending over $100. We had 6 meat dishes and 2 shrimp dishes on top of cold noodles and Korean pancake and beer!!! We definitely ate wayyyyyy too much but our bellies was full and our hearts was happy.

We recently moved to Lisle and came here on a whim having never had Korean BBQ. We asked to sit in the BBQ area and we were a little confused by the menus at first, but once we said it was our first time there the owner helped us choose our meats and turned on the stovetop for us. The owner's son was our waiter during the second half of the meal and could not have been nicer, so excited that we were trying KBBQ for the first time and always making sure we had everything we needed. All the servers were very prompt about refilling our waters and swapping out the cooktop when it got dirty, and even if we needed something and hadn't been helped in a while the servers were circulating the restaurant and it was easy to get someone's attention with a friendly wave :) The food was *excellent*, my favorite was the marinated short ribs and my fiance really liked the ribeye, but even the mushrooms were to die for! I really enjoyed the plain rice because it let the meat flavors shine, but when we go back I definitely want to try the soup, it looked so good. We ate 5 plates and were completely stuffed, but can't wait to come back for more :)

If you’ve read some of the other reviews you’ll see the service is a little subpar. I think this is a popular place and the older lady who is serving is overwhelmed. She was sweet. She just needed help. Aside from this the food was tasty, you get a free pancake and all the Banchan before your food.

An awesome experience cook your own food, great pieces of meat, great variety of sides.

Alright so every single review saying they have bad service aren’t used to good Asian food. If you need something flag them down it’s just not how it is at proper Asian establishments. Food is phenomenal, staff is always friendly and they’re some of the sweetest people in the industry. I love KBBQ and my wife’s vegetarian, they’re super accommodating every single time I’ve gone over the past 5 years

Yummy food and good service. We're definitely going back... the cod soup was delicious!
