Review Summary

Sam Cha draws praise for flavorful Korean dishes and good value, with standouts like bibimbap, tteokbokki, jokbal, pajeon, kimchi fried rice, and spicy soups, served by friendly staff in a cozy setting. Reviewers note that the place can get very busy, especially on weekends, with long lines and tables that are close together, making the atmosphere loud, though weekday visits can feel more relaxed. Reservations are often recommended or required on busy nights to secure a table. Several comments mention inconsistent service or occasional delays, and a few dishes are described as overly salty, bland, or smaller than expected, with some noting a dip in quality after menu changes. Overall, it remains a solid, affordable option for Korean classics that many diners plan to return to for more.

I’ve been going to Sam Cha for a couple years now. My favourite dishes would be the seafood sondubu that comes with rice, the beef tartare & the dolsot bimbimbap. I’ve recently tried the mussel soup which, to me was mid, as well as their rosé cream udon that I found was too sweet for my liking. Besides that, the ambiance is cozy. There’s often a line up so plan ahead.

We got all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ

- Bad service. We had to reach to our waiter for almost anything: water, a new grill, extra plates. We kept being told that we’d have to pay for pieces we didn’t eat. It was very annoying, & gives a cheap look.
- Extremely cramped. Chairs have no back support
- Dirty. Bathroom smelled bad & looked like it wasn’t cleaned for a while.
- Overall pricey for what you get. Kimchi & beef were great. Pork & chicken were mediocre.

I won’t go back. For 50-60$ CAD you can get better service & more gastronomic meals elsewhere.
