We didn't realize they close pretty early on weekday nights but they accommodated our small group well and got our food out very quickly. The food was very good and waitress helpful.

Unique spot with delicious food. The corn cheese is a must try! We also enjoyed the rice cake and sausage skewers! We will definitely be eating here again.

This place is phenomenal, both in terms of food and service. Everything we have ordered from them, either in person or for delivery, has been prompt, appropriately portioned, and delightfully tasty. They once even let us order an entire dinner enough to feed 8 people at 7:50pm and didn’t bat an eye. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Go often, and you’ll really start to feel their love in their food and how they treat you.

Garam is such a gem in the Huntsville area! I’ve lived in Korea for study abroad and in US cities known for excellent Korean food. This place is up there for quality food! Some of the best Kimchi Pancake I’ve had; it’s crispy and delicious! We tried their new fried chicken wings on the menu during our last visit, and they were exceptional. Excellent service, and you can tell they take pride in the food they serve. My boyfriend and I recommend this place to anyone who’s visiting, and we’ll miss it greatly now that we’ve moved states!

I was really happy with this restaurant! I liked the flavors and variety. I would get the dinner special again because it gave me an opportunity to try a lot of their dishes. I liked the different side dishes and was happy that I got some extra side dishes they were great.

Update: been craving good ramen and saw they had a good selection on their menu. That was a mistake. I'm pretty sure this ramen started its life in a little red bag. There was beef in there but it was meh. My silverware and napkin were dirty. Service was not as good but I think that was because there was regulars that the server knew. Will probably still come back and get bibimbap when in town but I'd steer far away from the ramen. Jan 2024: Awesome little spot to grab a quick bite, and I mean Quick! I got the spicy pork bibimbap. By the time I finished my soup, the main course was coming out in a hot stone bowl. The japchae side was a perfect addition to my bowl. The cucumber kimchi was not traditional but still very tasty. You get refills on your sides. I regret saying yes, but that's really because I was already getting full. Service was friendly and cheerful. Prices and portions are reasonable. I will definitely return.

A Culinary Journey to Korea's Delight at Garam! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Korean restaurant, and it was an absolute feast for the senses! From the moment we walked in, the inviting ambiance set the stage for a memorable culinary experience. The highlight of our evening was undoubtedly the Pig Feet, a unique and flavorful dish that left our taste buds dancing. The ChickeFried Rice was perfectly seasoned, and the Dinner Box was a treasure trove of delights, featuring Chapchae noodles, Korean dumplings, Kimchi pancakes, and a medley of other mouthwatering Korean delicacies. Every bite was a celebration of authenticity and freshness. The inclusion of radish enhanced the overall dining experience, providing a delightful contrast to the rich flavors of the main dishes. The attention to detail in each dish showcased the chef's dedication to delivering an authentic Korean dining experience. The staff was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. The restaurant's commitment to customer service is truly commendable. If you're a food enthusiast or someone curious about Korean cuisine, this restaurant is a must-visit. The diverse menu and impeccable execution of each dish make it a perfect place to explore and savor the wonders of Korean food. Join me in this gastronomic adventure and discover the magic of Korean cuisine. Your taste buds will thank you! We can't wait to return for another delightful experience. For those who appreciate a well-curated culinary experience and love sharing their food adventures on social media, this restaurant is a haven. Don't forget your camera – every dish is a potential Instagram masterpiece!

Garam is the place to go for authentic Korean food. It’s not a chain restaurant and the food tastes like your best friend’s Korean granny made it. Highly recommend starting with one of the “lunch boxes” because you can try literally 10 items at once. The service was excellent and our hostess was very friendly and helpful. Everything was wonderful and I can’t wait to go back! Photo 1: Tteokbokki Photo 2: Miso Soup Photo 3: Spicy Chicken Lunch Box Photo 4: Bulgogi Lunch Box

Food not fresh. And even with that fact, they were very stingy with their portions. The bowls were the size of my toy tea cup, and that bowl of soup was only 30% full. Also, they add corn syrup (this type of sugar is worse than processed food) to my meats. I know this because corn syrup is detrimental to me just like peanuts are detrimental to some people. Adding sugar to meats is like me adding soy sauce to everything (including feces) and saying Voila! I present you with Chinese food!.

Most of the items cost $5-$10 chaper (especially Kalbi short rib is $12 chaper) than I Love Korea restaurant that i used to go. You can spend less money for bigger portion and better quality. Used to eat at I love Korea but this is my new go-to Korean restaurant in town ! Food

Best Korean restaurant in Huntsville so far! For the quality & amount of food I got, the prices were pretty resonable! The dining room is small but cozy, & I would like for it to have some fancy decor like the waiting room does. This place also has the best japchae I ever had. Recommended dishes: Japchae (entrée or side), Spicy Pork, Fried Dumplings, & House Miso Soup

I ate meckeral pan - fried fish....the texture of the fish outside was too hard to eat.Suprisingly very good appetizer called vegetable pancake.Service was ok.No placemates on the table...wondering about the cleaness of the table itself.No ber or wine served.The athmosphere was a little impersonal.

Went to this restaurant with my Wife and 2 year old daughter. My daughter had to go to the bathroom. When my Wife and Daughter entered the bathroom, my 2 year old slipped on a puddle of vomit. We had to leave immediately because my daughter was covered in someone elses puke. There was only one employee in the front of the restaurant who looked stressed and couldnt handle the workload. No wonder it didnt get cleaned up.

Im from the island of Oahu where every street corner in downtown near Ala Moana is bursting with Korean Restaurants. I grew up with Millions as a home in the wall Korean Restaurant and Sikdorak for my AYCE Korea BBQ. I recently moved to Huntsville and while I was at a anime con, I was told to try this place out since its the closest you can get to good Korean food in Huntsville. My boyfriend and I drove here and were quickly seated by the two young waitresses. (Btw they were awesome! Especially the Korean waitress, she and I vibed over past memories of good Korean street food and cup Toppoki). He ordered the two protein Bibimbap with Regular and Spicy Bulgogi. I went with the Galbi Tang. We also ordered an appetizer of Gyeran-Jim (Steamed Egg) to start. The total for the bill was $25 a person The sides counted as our Banchan. We also had to be $1 extra to get one more choice of Sides. Worth. The food was pretty amazing and very close to what I am used to. The only complaint I have is the Kalbi was so tough! It was if they only cooked it until it was fully cooked then served it instead of making sure the meat was soft. It was really chewy and it started hurting my jaw at some point for how chewy it wass. Otherwise I will go back to try more

First time we d been to Garam. I m so glad we decided to come! This is the best and most authentic Korean food we ve had here in Huntsville!! The owners are very nice! Our son and daughter in law were married in Seoul and we got to visit when they had their wedding. We loved the country and really loved the food! So healthy! Well Garam is every bit of authenticity as Seoul!! We will definitely be back and tell our family and friends! Also the prices are good too! Parking: Plenty of parking Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is definitely kid friendly Wheelchair accessibility: There might be one step going up from the parking lot.

Good food, bad place to dine in - sketchy location if youre going at night. The one person they have in front of house is swamped, absolutely nothing against her but feels rough watching one person literally run back and forth between the kitchen and kicking the plywood board divider. The soup portions are like a thimbles worth in oversized bowls. They upcharged my tip by two dollars on my credit card, thats fraud, and I imagine they are doing it across the board if thats the case. Wont be back

Hey Huntsville, we just had an amazing, authentic Korean lunch at Garam Korean Restaurant. If you havent found this hidden gem yet, you NEED to go check it out. Hands down the BEST Korean food in town with the sweetest and best customer service. Dont judge a book by its cover cause you could miss out on a best seller!

Party of 6. Service was good. 3 of the 6 enjoyed their food. The others did not because of meat being so tough . kimchi pancake ($14) lacked flavor of the kimchi. Miso soup did not have any flavor. I believe we all agreed on the pancake and miso. We spent $159.00 plus tip. I will say that there were only 2 people there cooking and waiting tables. Im not sure we will be back. We also bought a Kimchi stew to take home. Menu says Kimchi stew has toufo, veges, kimchi and pork. There was no meat of any kind at all in stew. Only toufo,kimchi and vegetables.

Try the seafood pancake

Local Guide
December 22, 2023

The food was below average to be honest.. They gave me half a bowl of miso soup with my beef bibimbap and the amount of rice they gave was so stingy, I got less than one small bowl of rice, beef was tough and bland. And they forgot to give me the chili sauce as well to mix the bibimbap. The beef soup had like 3 pieces of beef and was full of msg that we were thirsty all night, served with a tiny bowl of rice.. Why are they so stingy with rice? its beyond me. The seafood pancake was a bit burnt at the bottom but we ate it anyway. Service was also poor given only 3 tables of patrons. To charge around 60 dollars for this quality is absurd.

This family owned place is our go to sit in Korean restaurant around Huntsville. Their food is well seasoned and definitely hits the spot if one is craving for a Korean dish.

Garam is seriously a hidden Korean Gem of Huntsville. Their traditional dishes like Kimbap, Galbi, etc. are all superb, but the Army Stew (Budae Jjigae) was on point. It hit so well I literally said oh my god after taking my first sip. Hits with a perfect amount of spice, so it will be a bit much for those that dont like the heat.

Our first time at a Korean restaurant. I guess its just not our kind of food. Small portions; we both left wanting more to eat and we usually need a go box when eating out. Only 5 or 6 side options and none were familiar or sounded good. The 3 different side we orders were refrigerator cold.

Garam was a very pleasant place to dine. Nothing but good things to say about the food and mood. Nice relaxing music was being played, lights were dim some and the service was fairly quick for the one person carrying the load (waiting tables). If I had a complaint it would be how pricey it was. Almost spent a 100$ on 2 adult bibimbaps and 2 small bulgogi plates, and.. oh yeah 4 drinks and 12 Jiaozi (appetizer). I guess we had a healthy portion but I was expecting a tad less. I would recommend trying during lunch time. Prices are much better at that time.

I went for lunch and had the spicy chicken lunch box special. Everything was very delicious and well prepared. I felt that the price was reasonable for the portion size and the quality of the food. Service was a little slow but I was there for a lunch rush, And I was in no hurry, so I dont have any complaints there. My only complaint is that while I was there, the dining area smelled very heavily of a cheap air freshener. Im not sure what the air freshener was trying to cover up, but it made it worse rather than better. The smell of their delicious food would have been far preferable to an air freshener.

I m Korean-American, and I ve had Korean food all my life in many parts of the U.S. and the world. This Deonjangjigae (Soybean Soup) is definitely restaurant quality stuff. You would pay $18 for this in NYC. And it might not even have beef. Real props here. To get it for $11 is a steal.

★★★
December 22, 2022

The food is amazing and I would recommend to others. The only reason I give it 3 stars and not more, is because I invited a large group of friends to dine here, and we were asked to keep our voices down even thou we were not being extremely loud or disrupting the business. If I can t have a fun conversation with friends at a restaurant, then they should state a policy saying they require for their customers to dine quietly. Also, one of the waitress is not very friendly.

Pork chop was very tasty although the meat can be more lean. Lunch box has a good portion for the price.

Not the most upscale Korean restaurant in Huntsville, BUT this family owned business is a gem! It has plenty of parking, a great menu, and authentic Korean cuisine. We ordered the Army Stew, corn pancake, spicy pork, and BiBimBap. The entrees come with rice and two sides and can be a bit spicy. All in all a great little spot for Korean food. If you are in Huntsville and want a good little place for Korean food, give them a shot!

Love love love!!! I ve been C R A V I N G tteokbokki/dd and they had two options, one w/ cheese. I got the cheesy tteokbokki, and wow, it was the perfect amount of spice, sauce, rice cakes, everything. The bowl was so large and for only $12! Without the cheese it s cheaper, too. My boyfriend got the beef bulgogi, and he was very happy with his meal as well. This is going to be my go-to place for Korean now. Great prices, great flavors, and great atmosphere!!

Stopped by for dinner with my boyfriend and friend. This marks me eating at every Korean joint in Huntsville (as far as Im aware). Garam is easily now one of my favorites, though I had good experiences at pretty much all of them except for I Love Korea, which was just adequate. At any rate, Garam is fairly spacious and nicely decorated, a bit more of a luxurious feel than its competition. Thats a plus, and hopefully to be expected, as I do feel the prices are a bit high for the portion sizes at Garam -- and therefore something must even that out! The menu is of average size, but it has more adventurous options than many of the other Korean restaurants in town. I stuck with my favorite, dolsot bibimbap, with beef. My friend had the dupbap, which seemed similar to the dolsot bibimbap, but without the hot stone bowl and with slightly more of a soupy texture. I tried it, and it was very tasty! A bit sweeter than bibimbap. On my end of things, the bibimbap was also delicious. Very tender beef, and I liked all the veggies: bean sprouts, cucumber, and carrots. The rice all got super crispy (yay!); my only complaint was that there wasnt quite enough. The egg on top was delightfully runny, and there were two red sauces to choose from. I dont know enough about Korean food to say definitively what they were. They both could have been gochujang, or perhaps only one; they were similar in color and texture but one came in a dish with the banchan and the other came in a bottle. The bottled one was slightly thinner and spicier. I added both to my bibimbap and loved it! While Im thinking about the banchan (small plates) - not as many were given to us as you typically receive at other places in town, but they were all enjoyable. Kimchi was cool and crunchy, fish cakes were spongy and savory, seaweed was salty and sweet and flaky, and then the final dish...I couldnt identify the veggie, but it was definitely pickled, slightly spicy, and also quite tasty. Lastly, my boyfriend had bulgogi, which he devoured and pronounced amazing. We were also all served a cup of tofu soup, which was mild, warm, and enjoyable. Service was a bit lukewarm; she wasnt super friendly or welcoming when we came in, but seemed to warm to us over the course of the meal. Forks were offered, rather than me having to ask, which makes this anxious and incredibly unskilled chopstick non-user happy. My only complaints are the sort of cool service and the smaller portion sizes that come with a higher price. Still, the food was so tasty and flavorful Ill absolutely return; just maybe get an appetizer next time, and/or go at lunch!

We paid 45 dollars for bland food, a can of soda,a bottle of tea,and tofu that tasted like rank egg whites covered in a sweet sauce. The sides were better than the main meals. Also our drinks were 2.50 each which was already an upcharge but on out receipt they charged and extra 2 dollars for our drinks. Furthermore they told us they do not serve hot tea but gave old customers who spoke in Korean hot tea. I DO NOT RECOMMEND JUST GO TO I LOVE KOREA IN HUNTSVILLE.

The food was very tasty, a little too sweet for my taste, and the udon noodles were not as hot (temperature) as it should have been. With that said, it was still very delicious. The pot stickers were very hot and cooked to perfection. The kimchi was also very well prepared with just the right about spice.

I went to Garam Restaurant at the recommendation of my mother, who is Korean and a great cook herself. She recommended the Jampbong, which is a spicy seafood noodle dish with lots of vegetables. Its nice and cool in Alabama in December, and I do love me a good Jampbong to warm me up, so I thought I would give it a shot. It was excellent! The ingredients were fresh, the vegetables were perfectly bite sized, and the broth was not overly spicy. I saw other customers order other authentic Korean dishes and they, too, looked delicious. Update, 02 OCT 18: Went back again. Ordered 2 more bowls of legend. Again was not disappointed.

I have been a dozen times and only ordered the Bibimbap, but it is the best in town, and that is saying something because there are at least three other Korean restaurants in the area. It comes out in a searing hot clay or metal pot with the rice sizzling on the bottom. If you like Bibimbap, this is a must try.

The quality of some of your food is unacceptable, I hate going to your place because you serve black people leftover Kimchi and watered down rice. I will never come back again. I would rather drive all the way to atlanta, where I know I am not be fed left over vegetables and food left over by previous customers
