" So many good things to say about Samwoojung! The food was top-notch, especially the seafood pancake and bulgogi. On top of that, the side dishes were always being refilled, which I appreciated. However, I found the space a bit cramped and loud, but that’s typically what you can expect from popular places. In all, I would come back again for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful experience at Samwoojung! I stumbled upon this gem while exploring K-Town and I must say their bulgogi was one of the best I've tasted. It was incredibly flavorful without being overly sweet. The service was prompt, and the tables had a cozy setup that encouraged a friendly vibe. Can't wait to come back and try their grilled fish! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Samwoojung multiple times now, and it never disappoints! The food is consistently excellent. Last week, I brought some friends, and they were equally impressed with the quality and the flavors of the dishes. The bulgogi stands out, of course, but the other items like various banchan were also memorable. Service can be hit or miss during busy hours but overall it’s a warm and friendly experience each time. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to a Korean restaurant, and I was quite impressed! The bulgogi was sweet and tender, far exceeding my expectations. The banchan (side dishes) were a delightful addition, especially the kimchi. However, I found the service to be a little slow during peak hours, and the seating felt cramped. Overall, a good experience that I'd be willing to repeat with reservations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great experience overall! The bulgogi was delicious and thoroughly enjoyable. Side dishes were plentiful and fresh. The staff was friendly, but I encountered a small hiccup in service as I waited longer than I should have for refills. The ambiance was cozy and improved the dining experience. A solid place to try some authentic Korean cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" While I loved the food at Samwoojung, the service left a bit to be desired. We couldn't get our server's attention at times, and there was a longer wait for our main dishes. The bulgogi was delicious though – very authentic flavors! The atmosphere is cozy, making it a nice place to dine out with friends. Overall, worth checking out if you can be patient during busy hours. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a lovely dinner at Samwoojung recently. The marinated crab was out of this world, and the bulgogi was perfectly cooked with great seasoning! The service was friendly, although at times it felt a little overwhelming due to the crowd. Nonetheless, the ambiance was delightful, making it a great choice for dinner. I will definitely be back to explore the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)
