Seoul Garden Buffet Supreme Tier Review

Seoul Garden Supreme Tier Review

Let’s face it; Seoul Garden is still alive because they made a killing a long time ago when there were few authentic Korean eateries and could get away with their terrible marinades.

Let’s put it this way. To say Seoul Garden’s is authentic Korean food is like saying ‘Singapore Noodles’ found overseas is authentic, well, Singapore noodles.

Nowadays, they’re pretty much held-up by the halal community.. And tourists who don’t know any better.

Despite that, I loved their garlic chicken. Which they discontinued a few years back. So, unless there’s the odd craving for their ginseng chicken soup or lamb, I hardly patronize Seoul Garden anymore, especially with many more authenticate Korean BBQs out there, which are cheaper too.

Premium and Supreme Tiers for Seoul Garden Buffet

I guess to keep up with the competition and improve their margins, Seoul Garden added the Premium and Supreme tiers so that you can get higher quality ingredients.

They’ve changed over time, and it seems like they have given up showing the menu online as a result, so you’d need to check in-store. Generally speaking however, the Premium Tier gives you a few more options like US Beef, Short Plate, King Prawns, Cheese Dip, and the Supreme Tier adds Japanese Wagyu.

At $46.90++ ($55.34) for the Supreme Tier with Japanese Wagyu, it’s actually quite reasonable.

Look at that. Look at that wagyu.

Seoul Garden Buffet Supreme Tier Review

I’m going to assume most of you are familiar with Seoul Garden, so I’m just going to focus on the Supreme Tier.

Sauces and Condiments:

Sauces were never their strong suite. Even now with all the competition from various bbq and hot pot establishments out there, they’ve still pretty much stuck with their old formula. You know. Their weird tasting soy sauce, the tasteless, watery, perfectly squared pseudo-garlic, etc. Seoul Garden added the Japanese sesame sauce recently, but the general selection is still low quality and lacks variety.

Cheese. Ew.

The cheese dip is supposed to be.. or at least based on Mozzarella (I’m sure most K BBQs use some diluted kind of mozzarela cheese). Seoul Garden’s cheese dip uses taco cheese, presumably to save cost. It tastes like ****. Definitely don’t want unlimited servings of that crap.

You should try it to believe it though.

Marinades.

If Airbenders are real, then Seoul Garden would be the ultimate flavour-bender. Their ability to warp known flavours into **** tasting marinades still lives on today, and it would make sense that whoever makes the marinades for Seoul Garden would be ok with using taco cheese as a Korean BBQ dip. The real issue is, unfortunately, they have made victims of the higher quality ingredients, especially in the Supreme Tier.

It is so bad, I totally avoided the pseudo-teriyaki and pseudo-bulgogi marinated versions of Wagyu. I ordered 1 serving of each and nearly spat them out. They should honestly just get some cheap off-the-shelf versions of the marinades instead.

Wagyu.

1 word: Fantastic.

They’re super marbled and fresh, and are wasted on Seoul Garden’s rubbish marinades. So, I only order them plain, which tastes wonderful, and just makes the whole experience even more of a sore spot because.. there is nothing to pair it with. Not even plain salt and pepper.

Hmm. Cancerous ooze?

Conclusion

I get that not everybody’s taste preferences are the same, so while I’m absolutely ****ting on them, you could try Seoul Garden buffet’s Supreme Tier at least once, just to get damn good quality wagyu at a buffet that’s less than $70, and see if you like the marinated versions.
