Many patrons appreciate the cozy, vibrant atmosphere and the quality of the food, which often feels homemade and reasonably priced.

Absolutely loved it! We waited about 45 minutes as it was Saturday night dinner time. Once seated we were quickly greated & served our drinks. We ordered; sweet chickie, bulgogi, spare ribs, homemade kimchi, curry udon, tteakbokki rosé & seafood pancake. All super delicious & perfectly portioned for 4 people. Service was quick, friendly & efficient. Will definitely come back to taste more from the menu! Only negative is you come out of restaurant very very very stinky 😝

A bit of a disappointment since there was no free side dish. We ordered some tteok bok ki fried skewers & it was good, with some sauce to dip in. We ordered some fried dumplings & they were bland, a bit too fried, too oily. The rating went downhill because of the porc bone soup, the soup was very very salty & when you remove the 3 big bones, there is barely any soup left... Anyways, not recommended. The beef bibimbap was ok, could of been better in taste.

The service was ok, it wasn't busy at lunch time, & had to ask the waitress twice for napkins.

The place didn't look too tidy, mediocre, the seats were a bit too close between clients.

Food was good, but that's about it. The service was ok, not great they never came to check ups after serving, also it took 40 minutes to receive our food, which wasn't so bad as we got our appetizer at least. My biggest problem is that we got placed in a separate room from everyone, it was past the kitchen; it look disheveled, left behind & also cold since there wasn't a lot of people/ambiance… Honestly would have expected better from a reservation! Overall ok since the food was good (at least), but i would not go back there.

Perhaps my expectations were too high, but the meal didn't quite live up to what I had hoped for.

We started with the Beef Tartare as an appetizer. The beef itself was quite sweet, but the flavors felt unbalanced. To make matters worse, it was served cold, almost frozen, with ice crystals in it😂😂

The Tofu Soup, however, was a highlight. It had a great flavor & was definitely the best dish of the meal. We also tried the Spicy Jokbal, but it was far too sweet! Despite being labeled as spicy, I could barely taste any heat.

The waiter was attentive tho, so one star for him. But overall, I left feeling disappointed

Beef tartare est le meilleur!!! C’est la première fois j’essaie du bœuf cru mais franchement c’est super délicieux, trop tendre & la sauce est sour & sweet. La portion de Spicy jokbal est trop généreuse, on était trois mais on n’a pas pu finir. La serveuse était trop patiente avec nous elle nous a aidé sur le choix des plats, mais le resto est quand même petit & les places sont trop trop serrées, à part ça tout était parfait!!

Soo so good! Love the food there, it honestly doesn't compare to any other place. The quality is amazing, the prices aren't too high & overall everything is nice. Do make sure you reserve though because it's always packed.

Sam Cha is a cozy & inviting spot that offers an incredible dining experience. The picnic-style tables & warm atmosphere make it feel like a home away from home. The food is absolutely delicious-each dish is fresh, flavorful, & clearly made with care. I tried their ramen with crispy chicken, & it was exceptional! The broth was rich & comforting, & the chicken added the perfect crunch. Their variety of dishes ensures there's something for everyone, & it's a great place to enjoy with friends or family over a round of soju. Highly recommend Sam Cha for anyone looking for authentic Korean flavors & a friendly, laid-back vibe.
