Korea Garden

Korea Garden in Spring Branch may be yet another of the many Garden-named spots clustered around the Long Point and Bingle intersection, but it has a whimsical charm that makes dinner mildly soothing. Here diners are set adrift in booths like little meat grilling cabanas, framed in dark wood, all cloistered around a central table with bonsai and a mini reproduction Korean village. The lighting is dark, as though lantern-lit, people are yelling and celebrating in various private rooms, and one waiter is definitely singing. Yup, very charming. And while Korean Garden’s menu is predictable, it is delicious, and able to feed as many people as you can stuff into the wooden booth seats (probably at least eight). Grab a few friends, select a grill combo plate, and make sure to share the corn cheese.
