We came to check out the really cool statues and try the food. Ended up only going for a walk around the property and skipping the food after smelling it/ catching a glimpse of it, so I am unable to speak for the food. This was not what I had expected at all. By no means is this a “botanical garden”. It’s an old golf course that has statues placed around that you can walk around and look at. However, it’s a great walk (watch for goose droppings in the summer though).

We came in after seeing a video on TikTok, because we love Asian brunch places and this one might be a new favorite!

The views from the restaurant are incredible. You can see part of the golf course that they are turning into botanical gardens, and it's high enough that it feels like you can see rolling hills for miles, with so many trees! Great way to experience the remnants of fall colors.

The food was so good. Best radish kimchi I've had in a long time. I also loved the japchae, it was so flavorful. And the ham fried rice was very hearty. I also really enjoyed the jun, it's been so long since I had it, and it was perfect.

Princess is so sweet, and the service was great, with everyone working together to make such a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be bringing more people to this little gem!

We went for brunch. I qwas disappointed to find that it was just a self-service buffet line. The food was okay.

HOWEVER. The garden!! It was absolutely stunning, very much worth the trip. I recommend you go now, while it's still autumn.

Don't let the name fool you, this is not a botanical garden, it's so much more! This feels like someone's lottery fever dream but it's all very real. All you can eat buffet with a mix of Korean and American options and a whole golf course sized sculpture garden. Went there with a 5yo and 10mo and had a great time in the restaurant and then walking the trails. Staff gave us lots of food (and foot cream) and was very hospitable. Very friendly with a generous way of doing business. Do yourself a favor and go here!

This place is a hidden gem. We came here for Sunday brunch and the food was great. The service was even better. And the grounds are amazing!

I'll be back even though I have to climb a mountain (by car) to get there.

Labor day weekend Korean buffet was a disaster. With the dining room only half full at least 3 of the 12 buffet pans were empty the whole time I was there. Other than water they had serve yourself coffee. The two coffee thermos were empty most of the time as was the hot water for tea. The fried chicken was under-cooked probably due to them rushing to replenish the pans. The Korean dishes were not well prepared with low quality ingredients and retail jar sauces. I have no idea how they have such good reviews.

When you say botanical garden you would think flowers and gardens. This was more of trails, statues and a pond. Got there 11:30 am alot of the food was cold and some took a minute to refill. The one that looks like sushi was never replaced before we left. Some had no seasoning or salt. This photo I added was everywhere. Asking to please not stay over 50 minutes. I was looking forward for this to be alot better so I can return for the street food. I also drove 40 minutes each way. Don't think it's worth taking a chance.

we went for the 1st part of the korean food tour. 8 people. many of the items were not available or finished. taste was highly disappointing. the kimchi and toboki were the 2 items that tasted good. did not get a chance to try majority of the food as it wasn't available or finished. was looking forward to hanging out with friends and enjoying this food tour day unfortunately it was not what was expected and for $20 each at least expected ti be able to taste the food. we spent $160 for this event and barely got to eat any of the dishes.

The walk was nice. Interesting art work. Brunch was fair. They are still in building stage.

We had been waiting 2 weeks to visit here, upon arriving at 8am to an empty place and two workers standing around on their phones, we inquired if the place was open today. The girl said yes they only had to finish bringing out the food, then went back to her phone. Looking around...there was zero food out and no attempt to welcome us or seat us. Not worth the time.

This place is like a closely guarded secret. The buffet brunch on July 4th was reasonably priced, delicious, and plentiful. The views are amazing

Super lame. Who wants to pay to walk here?!? Yado, Frear, Peeples are all free and nicer and larger.

Bring back the golf course but actually take care of it this time.
