Reviews for Garlic & Ginger in Gainesville, FL
The food was decent and the staff were polite but honestly the whole experience was kind of...meh. Most of the side dishes... (banchan) were plain and very simple, the entree was on the smaller side and I didn't think it had much flavor, and there wasn'tmuch variety with the banchan. All in all it was okay. I don't regret eating here but I don't see myself coming back either. Iwas a little taken back when the charge for another bowl of rice was $2, not that I didn't expect a charge but I didn't think itwould be that much. It was about (maybe) half a cup of rice each serving. Read more
Best Korean food I have had and I have been to quite a few places across the country. Outstanding service too. The prices were... reasonable and the quantities were very good. Will come back for sure. Read more
Good Korean food in a nice setting with a very friendly and accommodating staff. I had the shrimp shumai, the beef bulgogi, and... the kimchi tofu soup. It wasn't the best bulgogi I've ever had, but then the best I ever had was at a nice hotel in Busan, sothe bar was set pretty high. Everything was good and the portions were reasonable -- not huge, but filling. And the selectionwas more than enough to make me want to go back. Read more
Finally got to try this Korean restaurant in town, to sum up ?It is really really good? My husband and I love the food and it... is very authentic. Great service ! Read more
I nearly ingested plastic found in my food. Disappointed because I love the food, but this was a scary find. We ordered takeout... this evening, and I ordered the beef/bulgolgi bibimbap. As pictured, it seems pieces of plastic wrap were found in my food (GodI hope it's nothing more disgusting). Thankfully, I was able to find the pictured pieces, but I am HOPING I did not alreadyingest smaller pieces by the time I realized. I'm not sure I would recommend take-out. I've dined in once before, and that wentperfectly fine. Read more
We went here often for my fav dishes galbi and seafood pancake. While these 2 have been our must haves in the order, we tried... the hot pot stew this time because of the freezing temp recently. Despite its nice presentation, it was to our greatdisappointment!! The bulgogi were all in the pot and as the pot was kept heated on the stove, it got too tough, while theoctopus should need more time to cook, it was unchewable. I would just keep to my usual fav next time I order. Read more
I think this is a very nice Korean place with a lot of different variety compared to other Korean places here in Gainesville. I... enjoyed most of the dishes I ordered except for the cold noodles as they were too hard to chew on and the fruit flavored pastedid not mix well. The other items are all very big in portion and well worth the price. Read more
First time visiting this restaurant and I hate myself for not stopping before. The food was delicious and the customer service... was superb. Being our first time we had no clue what to eat but our server was extremely kind and patient with us. I did noticethat it?s more economical to share entrees instead of getting individual plates.
