Global Garden

I love picking up a quick bite to eat here. You cannot beat the price and convenience for Korean food in Woodbridge. There’s hardly any Korean food here to begin with. The staff is so friendly! I’ve gotten my food to go and have eaten there. Plus I can grab some Korean snacks in the grocery store or Korean baked goodies in the next booth. I’ve been here many times. Love all the Korean food - bulgogi, Kimchi soup, kimbap, spicy seafood jjambong… and today I learned they have duk-Mandu! I wanted it for lunar new year. Happy Lunar New Year! They also provide free hot barley tea. So yummy. NOTE: I noticed some of the reviews are really for Pinay Express which is next to it.

I’ve been trying to cut down on portions but the food here was so good last night, I accidentally ate half of a giant box of the stuff! I got the spicy bugolgi. The kimchi had a bit of a chemically flavor in a lot of the bites so I had to stop eating it, which is the only reason it’s not 5 stars! Seriously though try that spicy beef!

After J&J closed down, I couldn’t find any Korean restaurants in the area that were good. Ordered the kimchi jigae from global garden food court to go. It was so tasty! They actually included lots of pork (many don’t) and lots of kimchi. Perfect balance of spicy and savory. Happy to find a new place!

The food here is really delicious. The only problems that I have with this restaurant is the limited seating and the long wait time. It is located within Global Foods and is a cafe style lounge. The pricing is a little pricey but for the most part not too bad, I paid about $9 for the rice cake dish. The food is definitely worth the trip. It is hard to find authentic Korean food like this in the Woodbridge area. I would definitely recommend Global Garden.
