On this self-paid return visit, Garlic Cook & Story served garlic shrimp aglio olio and 6 buffalo wings, with plenty of garlic and shrimp, well-cooked noodles and well-judged seasoning. The pasta is worth a repeat visit, and the pane and other untried dishes are next on the list. ## Good to know - **Hours**: Mon–Sun 11:00–21:00 - **Last order**: 20:20 - **Break time**: None - **Services**: Reservations, takeout, delivery and parking available - **Ordering**: Kiosk or reservation - **Location**: Western Dome Building B, Unit 208, near Jeongbalsan Station Exit 1 *as written by the visitor on Sep 13, 2026* This is my self-paid favorite, Garlic Cook & Story!

Between wings and drumsticks, I'm team wings! The garlic shrimp olio lives up to its name. There's genuinely tons of garlic and shrimp, and with olives, onion, and spicy peppers mixed in it's not very spicy — just a gentle heat! Just enough to keep it from getting boring. The noodle texture and seasoning were seriously perfect,,, The wings seemed bigger than the ones I've had at chicken places. Lots of meat too, nice and plump! Can you see how rich and glossy that aglio olio sauce is.. you'd never get that flavor making it at home. ![Aglio olio loaded with shrimp and garlic](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio-17-kf6k1-900.webp) ![Rich, glossy aglio olio sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio-18-1u4y3-900.webp) ![Garlic shrimp aglio olio pasta](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio-19-1i1ny-900.webp) Since I was eating wings, they also gave me wet wipes >< ![Buffalo wings with wet wipes](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio-20-1qlhj-900.webp) ![Plump buffalo wings](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio-21-1kcxs-900.webp) The tips of the wings were crispy, nutty, and full of umami with that satisfying chewy pull! My tongue is happy,,, they also sell highballs here and I bet they'd pair perfectly! ![Side dish served with the buffalo wings](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio-22-87898-900.webp) Finished it all happily so here's my proof shot haha. It was truly delicious. Next time I want to try the pane and the dishes I haven't had yet ㅠㅠㅠㅠ ![Table after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio-23-ovhai-900.webp) ![Parking registration information](https://img.superchart.com/images/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio/ilsan-garlic-shrimp-aglio-olio-24-rkwsh-900.webp) You can register your parking easily on your way out!
