If you are in town and love Korean food or just want to try something different this is truly as authentic as it gets. After spending a couple of years in Korea, I crave it! Garlic and Ginger rivals the Korean restaurants in San Francisco and NYC. If you like spicy I would recommend getting the kimchi jigae, it is... More

Menu is diverse and caters to those open to trying something new as well as offers the usual Asian suspects for those wanting to stick with something tried. Service and ambience was good. Food was extremely well prepared and worth a return visit. Just a little pricey...A wonderful addition to Gainesville's limited good-Asian restaurants.

I was stunned by this lady, she looked like a beautiful Korean doll ...it was a nice start to a great dinning experince. Our order for kalbi, korean shrimp fried rice and black bean sauce with...

Went with a group of 5 for lunch at a recommendation from a friend. Shared seafood pancake, kalbi ( beef short ribs but boneless), beef bulgogi (bit too sweet for my taste) and a spicy baby octopus dish. Portions were generous especially with all the side dishes and prices were very reasonable. The service was good and place was clean.... More

It's awesome that Gainesville finally has a fully Korean restaurant. I went with my roommates and we were impressed with the selection (lots of options and ways to customize each dish), how quick everything was served, and most importantly, how fresh the food was. As someone who was relatively new to Korean fare, I was grateful for the option of... More

Visited with family for my b-day. One thing is true, the servings are huge. We ordered a Gob-Chang special and noodles with sea food. Both plates had tons of noodles topped with the main ingredients. Also, they use a lot of onions. (I meant it, A LOT of onions) I like to try weird food, so I was looking forward... More

On the advice of a a trip advisor review I checked this place out and was very happy with the food quality and price / value. I ordered the Bebimbap which came with 4 side items including Kimchee -- I foolishly ordered an appetizer, way too much food for one person. Stick with the main dining room however. The outside...

Somehow it took us a while to find out that Garlic & Ginger had opened up. We had visited the restaurant that preceeded it and have found this to be much better! Flaming Pig was a hit and we'd definitely try that again. Most recently I visited for lunch and ordered my meal off the regular menu and my friend... More

We visited Garlic & Ginger as we were travelling up I-75, at the recommendation from a friend from Korea. All 3 meals we had were delicious. Each of us tried items we had never had before and really enjoyed them. The atmosphere is causal and the prices were very reasonable. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.
