" What a hidden gem! Samwon offers an incredible experience for true Korean food lovers. The service is charming yet professional. My favorite is their daeji bulgogi, and the portion sizes are generous. You won't find anything like this elsewhere, I guarantee! " (*Curated Review*)

" A quaint little restaurant to get your Korean food fix! The beef soup was on point, bursting with authentic flavors. The owner himself is very polite and offers great advice on what to order. It was busy during lunch break, so anticipate some delays, but it’s worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" It's a simple restaurant that offers homestyle Korean cooking. I usually go there for their chicken yakisoba, which I've always loved! The staff are polite; just be patient during busy hours as it gets quite crowded. I believe this is the best Korean spot near me! " (*Curated Review*)

" I will always cherish the meals I’ve had at Samwon. The spicy pork bulgogi is a must-try, and it's served with an array of side dishes. The genuine flavors remind me of my travels to Korea, and the ambiance adds to the experience. A lovely gem hidden in plain sight. I can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food here is good but not exceptional. The clay pot dish I ordered was not what I expected and tasted more Americanized. I found the portions small for the price. The service was fine but nothing to rave about. This may not be my go-to place for future meals. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was slightly disappointed during my recent visit to Samwon. The teriyaki chicken I ordered was too dry and lacked flavor, contrasting with their advertised reputation for authenticity. However, the owner was nice and attentive, which helped salvage the experience. I think I’ll stick to their traditional dishes next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I adore this restaurant! They make the best spicy beef soup; it reminds me of my grandmother's cooking. The portions are generous, and it's great to see a few traditional dishes on the menu. Sure, it’s a bit divey, but that’s part of its charm. The elderly couple running the place have big hearts, and their service reflects that. Will definitely come again! " (*Curated Review*)
