joy garden korean bbq restaurant

one of my new favs. awesome food,greatstaff! just try it and see for yourself!!!
need help deciding what to get, just ask the staff. they havegreatrecommendations for first timers. and the cucumbers in the sauce are amazing! it's served with most meals. this place is a must go!

great food,greatpeople. love this place. super friendly staff, awesome food, reasonable prices! what else do you want. it, for me, is the best restaurant in yakima and offers actual authentic korean food, cooked by koreans. we have tried about 6 different things off the menu to date and they were all delicious.

thank you joy garden!

we will be back, and often.

new favorite. my coworkers and i just discovered joy garden a few months ago, but since that time, we've been going there about once a week. there are a number ofgreatthings on the menu. my favorite item is yuk gae jang, a spicy shredded beef soup with scallions, bean sprouts and vegetables. its perfect on rainy days or when i'm fighting a cold. other amazing options are their pork bulgogi and chap chae. yum!

great asian cuisine. this was my first time at this place. the decor is not what i would expect for a korean bbq. the dinning area is intimate. there are booths along one wall made of hardwood and has a burnt finish along with the walls is trimmed out with burnt pine as well. i could see the sloppy slaw in this place.

the owner is real nice she treated us withgreatrespect and made some excellent recommendations on alternate dishes. since two of them were not available at the time.

i wish i could tell you what we ordered but i would not be able to spell it correctly. i will go back there and try the bbq next time.

soooo gooood!!!. i was introduced to korean bbq years ago in tacoma and fell in love immediately! my lady friend is korean and has a keen palate for authentic korean food. this place isgreatand has recently gotten so much better with their addition of in-table grills. everything is good, but my advice is to get the in-table bbq experience. so manygreatsides...such delicious meat. so much fun to grab the food your self. doooo it!!!

finally--korean food in yakima. what a find--especially for yakima! i only come up to this part of the country once a year at christmas to visit my family and was lucky that my sister had heard about this recently opened korean restaurant up on tieton dr. in yakima. it'sgreatto see that there are now good options for ethnic cuisine (thai, vietnamese, indian, and now korean), which were non-existent when i grew up there in the 1980s-1990s.

the menu had a good variety of classic korean dishes, including bulgogi and bibimbap. the portions are large, fairly priced, and of high quality. fresh shitake mushrooms, pickled daikon, well-spiced kimchee, and roasted barley tea--the flavors are authentic and the chef takes no shortcuts.

the owners are a friendly couple who relocated to yakima from the washington, d.c. area. both stopped by our table to personally ensure that we were enjoying our meals.

i wish i had more time to go back and sample some of the other menu options. don't miss this place!
