I think I've been here 6 times already, brought my whole family, and I'll keep coming lol. I didn't realize I hadn't raved about them yet XD . This place is a treasure. Delicious, fresh food, kind, attentive service. Great at making you feel welcome, explaining and recommending dishes for newbies to Korean food. I lovelove the kimchi pancake, galbi, pork bulgogi, and how they include banchan. From the stews I've only had the ox bone soup (yummy but not spicy- not a complaint just an fyi for new people scared of spice), but I'm determined to try them all eventually, they look amazing whenever others have ordered them. The restaurant IS small and there is some table-sharing when it's full. It's kind of nice and community-building, in a way. I haven't had to wait, but I imagine it'd be thing

This restaurant is a family owned and operated small business that provides authentic Korean BBQ and foods. The side dishes are great and reflects authentic Korean flavor and taste. I recommend this restaurant if you are looking to get a taste of Korean cuisine. The indoor seating area is sufficient to come with a group of friends to have a hands on Korean BBQ experience. Clean interior and decor that reflects the culture. I had a take out order to take home and everything was well packaged and the serving amount was more than enough for a single person. I would even say that there was enough to share with another person. Good experience at Garlic1% and I will be coming back.

First time here and it was DELICIOUS. The place is cozy with about 8 tables, so go with ample time if it's busy. Also, heads up, they close at 9PM but when I was there, they sold out of the main dishes by 730PM and closed early. The staff was kind, attentive, and friendly. They serve banchan with your meal (small sides that include kimchi) the beef bulgogi was tender and tasty. It comes with a bowl of rice (they added a small amount of lentils) the seafood and veggies Korean cake is SO GOOD, and the seafood was cooked perfectly. The bibimbap was incredible, too. It comes with white rice, veggies, and beef bulgogi, and it's topped with an over easy egg. The prices are decent for the amount of food and flavor. The waitress told me that they use healthy oils/items to cook with, too, so that i

The atmosphere is very relaxed like eating at auntie's house. The food is delicious, the kimchi pancakes are very tasty. The kimchi soup with tofu was good everyone liked there meals a lot. Definitely worth a try. The prices are a little steep but it is expected now with all the new tariffs.

Amazing yummy Korean food, generous portions. An older lady who we guessed was probably the owner came to check on us a couple times and she was so sweet. We got the seafood pancake and vegetable pancake, fried dumplings, squid stir fry, beef bulgogi, and bibimbop. Everything was amazing! My friend who had never tried Korean food before also loved it. Highly recommend this place!!
