Seoul Garden BBQ Buffet

Orange County's once-best Korean BBQ house, now closed

While Orange County has many Korean BBQ restaurants, particularly in the Garden Grove area, Tustin’s Seoul Garden stood out for decades as a best-of-breed option. Guests paid a single price for all-you-can-eat access to a buffet of meats, banchan, and appetizers, filling plates with as many pork chops, bulgogi strips, and seafood items as they could imagine eating, then grilled at their tables. The selection was fantastic, and protein quality consistently high despite reasonable prices.

Along with many other buffets, Seoul Garden closed in 2020 and never reopened. It was replaced by Songhak, which modestly spruced up the aging facade, more than doubled the prices, and reduced the buffet offerings. Will Orange County ever get another KBBQ as amazing as this one again?
