Korea Garden on Long Point Road

February 28, 2011 By: Mai Truong Category: Comfort food, Houston, Korean


We were looking for a get-together location on New Year’s Eve, when we decided that since both of our families like Korean food, it’d be good to let Ms Baker try it for the first time too. Houston’s West side houses many a place for a good bulgogi, concentrating on the section of Long Point that’s sandwiched between Gessner and Blalock, but we set our mind on Korea Garden. Half of us had been here several times, and we didn’t want any adventure on Ms Baker’s first impression, she’s a conservative. 🙂


It turned out her very first impression was curiosity: how did they manage to section 7 equal slices of the haemul pajeon (해물 바전)? It was a good jeon, however lay on the soggy side if compared to pancakes at Secret Garden and Casserole House. The banchan selection included some of our favorites: potato, seaweed, and sliced eomuk (어묵), although none appealed to the Americans at the table. The kimchis had quite a bit of chili, though.


So did the dak bokgeum (닭 볶 음 stir-fried chicken) that my dad fell for. That sneaky heat wouldn’t hit you right away.  Only half way through the heap of bird and veggie did he  turn to my mom and me with a tilted smile and a slight head shake: too spicy.


My mom and I knew better than ordering something with a chili pepper sign. So for soups we went. Her a gook bab (국밥 rice and sliced beef in warm beef broth), that was almost too bland.


And me a mandoo gook (만두국 dumpling soup), sweet and delicate but not really a tongue catcher.


The other side of the table ordered their regular bulgogi (불고기) and bulgalbi (불갈비), something that would never go wrong,


and a side of fried mandoo (만두), which looked irresistibly crunchy.


The staff was sweet, like this lady who mixed bibimbap (비빔밥) at amazing speed. Her wrist spun like a cotton candy machine. I don’t know how Ms Baker knew that dolsot bibimbap (돌솥 비뱜밥) is what a first timer should get, of if she knew, but I took it as a good sign that she scooped every last grain of rice.


So here we sat in a room sectioned off from the others by shoji screens and chatted from 7:15 to 9:30 about all things from Jerry Brown to TiVo. We must have been the second to last to leave Korea Garden that night. Ms Baker’s first impression of Korean food was heartily filled with laughters. The price was hefty, as most Korean dinners are, but the family bonding between friends is priceless.

  2. obviously like your web-site but you have to check the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to tell the truth nevertheless I will surely come back again.

  5. Về kỹ thuật, các nghệ nhân làm chè Tân Cương vẫn giữ quy trình sao chè thủ công qua nhiều công đoạn: diệt men, vò chè, sao khô, lấy hương — đòi hỏi kinh nghiệm và sự tỉ mỉ cao. Chính sự kết hợp giữa điều kiện tự nhiên thuận lợi và tay nghề truyền thống đã tạo nên vị trà xanh Thái Nguyên đặc trưng: nước xanh trong, hương cốm non thoảng nhẹ, vị chát dịu ở đầu lưỡi và hậu ngọt sâu kéo dài nơi cổ họng.

  6. Bà bầu và người nhạy cảm với caffeine có nên uống trà xanh không? Trà xanh chứa caffeine tự nhiên, tuy hàm lượng thấp hơn cà phê, nhưng phụ nữ mang thai và người nhạy cảm với caffeine nên uống với lượng vừa phải và tránh uống vào buổi tối để không ảnh hưởng đến giấc ngủ.
