Korean restaurant is a change of pace

I realized it's been four years since I wrote about Seoul Garden, and maybe that long since I had eaten there. I had found the Korean food very good before, even if the ambiance of the restaurant seems neglected and could use some attention. It is very low rent; yet, it has some reviews and clippings posted and so has a special Asian character.

Pictured above is the wonderful Dolsot bibimbap, which is beef, rice, egg, and vegetables cooked and served in a stoneware pot. There are lots of nice greens under the egg, including sprouts and cabbage. This is just simply delicious. Asian, clean healthy comfort food is even greater here with the crispy, crusty cooked rice bottom on the stoneware bowl. It's up to you to mix it all up yourself.

The dishes here are served with about five traditional side dishes. I'm not a big fan of kimchi or Korean thick noodle dishes; I preferred their soy green beans and crab Rangoon. I also like the fried seaweed, but I don't know if the way it's prepared is fattening.

It was lunchtime, and the entree I had cost $10-12. Try the daily specials for a cheaper price and to experiment with a new taste if you're brave.

Soup comes with the meal: I had the hot & sour, which was spicy and lip-smacking good, so they say. The proprietress has limited English, so try pictures or use your smartphone if you have specific questions. I'm glad to see this little ethnic place going strong with consistent food. Seoul Garden is still at 1820 Coliseum in Fort Wayne.
