Korea Garden Express is another gem in Scotia Square Food Court. The long lines tell you how popular this restaurant is. It seems that the Seoul Chicken (which looked awesome) is the all time favorite. I personally went with the Spicy Shrimp served with fried rice that is fantastic. The 7 shrimp where huge, the rice very flavorful and not the least bit greasy. The plate came with roasted potatoes and marinated cabbage and carrots (not kimchi, but they do serve that). I added a gyoza dumpling and it still was less than $7.
The staff are very friendly and you know this place is one people come back to again and again...the server handed the guy behind me a Pepsi before he even got the words out. He's obviously a regular...smart man. I'm tempted to go back tomorrow. -

Was happily impressed with Korea Garden Express. I kept reading great reviews and figured it was time to give it a try. I was downtown today and decided to pop into Scotia Square for lunch.
They were out of my first choice which was the spicy shrimp, so opted for spicy chicken with sweet potato noodles which also came with some potatoes and cabbage. The noodles were really nice, the spicy chicken was just that, not over powering but a good level of spice, something I don't find often enough. The potatoes were tasty and the cabbage added some nice crunch although I wish it had been cut up into small pieces.
The spicy chicken was tender, generous amount of spicy sauce mixed up with some potatoes and perhaps some other veggies, was hard to tell under the bright red sauce and also because it disappeared off my plate really quickly.
I will certainly be back for more, I want to try the spicy shrimp and also the Seoul chicken sounded and looked yummy as well. For $7 including tax, you will be hard pressed to find a better quick lunch, especially at that price. -

Well today being Tuesday it is of course Seoul Chicken special day! The lineup for this take out is usually long but again well worth the wait. I went with the Seoul Chicken, fried rice, potato, and vegies. On Tuesdays you also get the choice of a dumpling or a pancake all for around $7.00 (I went with an extra pancake).
Make sure to checkout the hot sauce at the cash register. Adding a bit of this will give your chicken even more of a kick! I know when co workers come in from other countries this is one of the places they want to visit.
The staff are very friendly and fast to get the line moving.
The only reason for giving them a four is they only take cash no visa. -

What to do when I forgot my lunch today? Well, I trudged through Scotia Square with a coworker who suggested the Korean Garden Express. It had a long line, which seemed promising, and the combo options were varied with plenty of choice.
I had the Regular BimBimBap, which tax-in, came to $6.50 - talk about affordable! And, delicious! Staff are helpful, efficient and keep things moving. Food is piping hot, and assembled with precision. That long line moves very quickly.
I'm glad to have another reliable lunch option, so much so, I might "forget" my lunch again very soon! -

This is a great lunch spot, especially on those cold winter days/cold rainy spring days when you need some flavourful comfort food. The ladies who work there are super efficient and always smiling.
Honestly, the only reason I don't eat there more often is because the special is often pork and I don't eat pork. The spicy or Seoul chicken are tasty times, and I really recommend the patty. I don't know what's in it or what they fry it in, but it's yum yum!Listed in: Be Square

So I have been a frequent procurer of Korean Garden Express food since it open some years ago.
My two favourite items are the Seoul Chicken and Lemon Chicken. Love them so much that I have never strayed! I always have it with vegetables only and always to go. It really is delicious and filling. The Seoul Chicken has a kick of heat while the Lemon Chicken is tart (but in a good way). Staff are lovely. Food is hot. Service is quick.
Pretty good combo, especially for a food court! -

My office just relocated, and I've suddenly found myself in dangerous proximity to the Scotia Square food court. There are tons of options in Scotia Square, but as my first food court venture in a while I thought I would try something slightly exotic and test out Korea Garden. There were several lunch specials - most of them offering some combination of rice and meat - which is just fine for me. I went with the Spicy Pork option (which is not mouth-burning spicy, but just has a nice kick). A small serving was enough to fill me up without leaving me in an afternoon sodium-coma. The small rice/pork combo and a can of pop was less than $7, and the service was quick and friendly. I will definitely be back.

Pleasantly surprised after visiting today. The food, service, and prices were fantastic! I strongly recommend the Seoul chicken and spicy pork.Q
