Sam Won Garden Korean BBQ

I’ve been eating at this place for over a decade. The previous owner made the food taste excellent; however, the ownership has since changed, and the flavor has changed along with it—something I can certainly understand. Nevertheless, I decided to give the place another try a few times recently. I ordered a seafood pancake, but the ingredients inside seemed to vary every single time. I gave it another shot today, and it was actually pretty decent—except that they somehow forgot to give me the side dishes. I also ordered a bowl of seafood noodles. Now, I’m left wondering whether I should bother eating there again in the future.

I have been coming to this place for years. To me, the tell tale signs of a great KBBQ place are: 1. More than 3 kinds of banchan given at a time (SWG offers 6) 2. Organ meat on the menu (hello crispy beef chitterlings) 3. Dipping sauces that include ssamjang 4. A grill that has a slope so the drippings slide off 5. Two kinds of short ribs offered, including LA Galbi Way better than any of the all you can eat spots that have popped up in the last 2-3 years!

The food was really good, everything came out fresh and flavorful. The servers were super friendly and attentive, always checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. They changed the grill without us having to ask.Overall it was a really chill vibe, nothing too fancy but just a nice, enjoyable spot to eat. I’d definitely come back.

The food was very tasty. However, the waitress placed the wrong order and the cook/manager "refused" to give me what I ordered and insisted that I pay for their mistake. Just plain stubborn? I ordered the Daenjang Jjiang with beef as my protein but got seafood instead. I never order seafood at none seafood restaurants because the seafood is never fresh. I could tell the fish was pre-frozen and just two clams and nothing else. NEVER AGAIN. Patrons be ware. This was an alternate to my favorite Korean Restaurant, "GangNam Korean Restaurant", who unfortunately is closed on Mondays. The surprising thing is that the waitress recognized me because I have gone here several times before. Not anymore Sam.

I’ve been coming to this place since I was a senior in high school, and now that I’m a senior in college, I thought it’d be meaningful to share my experience. First of all, the food is delicious — the side dishes are always fresh and there’s such a great variety. Dare I say, they have the best kimchi in town! Ever since they introduced the All You Can Eat (AYCE) option, I’m pretty sure they see me once every week — and that says a lot. The servers are always friendly, and no matter how busy it gets, they remain composed, polite, and respectful. I have several dietary restrictions, but they’ve always been accommodating, which I really appreciate. Another thing worth mentioning is that they’re the only AYCE restaurant I know that serves Beef Belly — my absolute favorite cut of meat. I also don’t like overly loud places, but the atmosphere here is always chill, the music isn’t too loud, and the lighting is just right. I really appreciate that, too.
