" I visited Sodam last weekend after hearing great things about their authentic Korean dishes. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm smell of spices and grilled meats. I tried the kalbi and it was just wonderful, tender, and flavorful. The service was great, and I really appreciated the complimentary side dishes, especially the kimchi! The atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming, making it a great spot for dinner. I will definitely return and tell my friends about this hidden gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a decent experience at Sodam. The food was fine, especially the bibimbap, which tasted fresh and well-prepared. I was slightly disappointed by the service; it could have been quicker and more attentive, especially given that the restaurant was busy. Despite this, I enjoyed the atmosphere, and the décor had a nice touch of Korean culture. I would probably try it again but hope for a little more efficiency next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sodam is a wonderful addition to the Rochester restaurant scene. I've visited multiple times and have consistently found the food to be flavorful and fulfilling. I had the fried dumplings which were crispy, and the beef bulgogi was quite good, although I prefer it with a little more spice. The service was friendly, yet could be a little faster during peak hours. Overall, I highly recommend this spot! " (*Curated Review*)

" While visiting Sodam, I was impressed by the authentic flavors in the dishes. The haemul-tang was especially fresh, full of seafood, and comforting. It was a bit crowded on the weekend, which led to longer waiting times, but the cozy atmosphere made it a pleasant experience nonetheless. Overall a lovely meal; I need to try more next time round. " (*Curated Review*)

" Sodam offers a delightful experience for those craving genuine Korean cuisine. I enjoyed the ambience of the restaurant—it felt like a slice of Korea in Rochester. From the complimentary appetizers to the amazing entrees, my experience was quite enjoyable. The haemul-tang was remarkable and well-flavored, showcasing a variety of seafood. My only critique would be about the slow service on a busy evening, but the food more than made up for it. Can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Sodam was mostly positive. I loved the food, especially the kalbi-tang, which had rich flavors. It reminded me of my time spent in Korea. The only complaint I have is the wait time for food—which was longer than expected. The restaurant gets packed, and I could tell the staff was hustling. However, once the food arrived, it was flavorful—and a nice portion size. I would likely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've frequented Sodam for over a year now, and every visit confirms its status as one of the best Korean restaurants around. The kalbi dish is by far my favorite! The staff is always very welcoming. The cozy atmosphere makes it feel personal, and the portions are solid for the price you pay. If you're searching for great Korean food in Rochester, Sodam is the place to go! " (*Curated Review*)
