" I visited Ssam on a whim and was pleasantly surprised! The place has great decor and a chill vibe. The dumplings were good, but I found them to be slightly greasy. Overall, a solid Korean spot with decent prices! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been coming to Ssam regularly and have enjoyed almost everything I've tried. My favorite is the bulgogi, which is tender and flavorful every time. The staff is friendly and usually very attentive. However, I would love to see more variety in their banchan. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently enjoyed my meal at Ssam, but I found some aspects lacking. The dumplings were tasty, but the main dishes didn’t have that authentic feel to them. The pork belly was way too tender and lacked flavor. Overall, not bad but could use some improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" My partner and I visited during the weekend, and we loved the fried chicken! The waiter was super friendly, and the ambiance was just right for our casual day out. One thing that could use improvement is the wait for food, as it took a while for our orders to come out. Overall, a solid experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Ssam! The staff is incredibly friendly, and they really know their dishes. I ordered the seafood noodles, and while they were good, the flavors were a bit subtle for my taste. Overall, I enjoyed my time there! " (*Curated Review*)

Archived Reviews (409)

" This place is underrated! I tried the seafood pancakes and they were scrumptious. The mixed atmosphere of casual and elegant makes Ssam a great choice for both lunch and dinner. I recommend trying the Korean fried chicken—it’s an experience you won’t forget! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ssam has a cheerful vibe, and the servers are lovely people. I ordered the vegetarian stew, which was hearty but lacked the distinct flavors I associate with Korean cuisine. The kimchi was nice but not as spicy as I expected. Overall, I enjoyed my visit but expected a bit more authenticity. " (*Curated Review*)
