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. ๐Ÿ™‚


It turned out her very first impression was curiosity: how did they manage to section 7 equal slices of the haemul pajeon (ํ•ด๋ฌผ ๋ฐ”์ „)? 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 (์–ด๋ฌต), although none appealed to the Americans at the table. The kimchis had quite a bit of chili, though.


So did the dak bokgeum (๋‹ญ ๋ณถ ์Œ stir-fried chicken) that my dad fell for. That sneaky heat wouldn’t hit you right away. ย Only half way through the heap of bird and veggie did he ย 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 (๊ตญ๋ฐฅ rice and sliced beef in warm beef broth), that was almost too bland.


And me a mandoo gook (๋งŒ๋‘๊ตญ dumpling soup), sweet and delicate but not really a tongue catcher.


The other side of the table ordered their regular bulgogi (๋ถˆ๊ณ ๊ธฐ) and bulgalbi (๋ถˆ๊ฐˆ๋น„), something that would never go wrong,


and a side of fried mandoo (๋งŒ๋‘), which looked irresistibly crunchy.


The staff was sweet, like this lady who mixed bibimbap (๋น„๋น”๋ฐฅ) at amazing speed. Her wrist spun like a cotton candy machine. I don’t know how Ms Baker knew that dolsot bibimbap (๋Œ์†ฅ ๋น„๋ฑœ๋ฐฅ) 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. My coder is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on various websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
