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

I love their foods

I really like the simplicity of the menu. We've tried pretty much everything on it, & we've found a "bad" one. Portions, taste, & presentation are 5 stars for the price. What I really don't like is that there is no way to reserve ahead of time on Fridays or Saturdays. You have to put yourself on the waiting list for a good hour. The place is ALWAYS packed, so it makes it a bit annoying.

Great restaurant. We were sitting right beside a wall lined up with blinking led lights & that got a bit anmoying but the food was fantastic. The service was a bit slow too but nothing too bothering.

I came to Samcha after a recommendation from a friend, I was told it was extremely spicy & delicious, so I came with expectations. It was great, the food was piping hot & fresh, & the flavors were amazing. (I had the kimchi fried rice, extremely creamy & savory with that signature gochujang flavor). Along with that, I also had the spicy teokbokki with cheese that was equally delicious. Now, as to the reason why I only rated it 4*, the teokbokki was perfectly spicy, but the kimchi fried rice barely had any spice. According to my friend, it tasted as though they've toned down the spice quite a lot since her last visit. She had the spicy udon, & there was the same statement in terms of spice level. I have a pretty low spice tolerance, & when I can barely taste it, something feels wrong. I'd recommend asking to make it spicier if you're planning to order something spicy. Other than that, it's a great place with an amazingly warm & bustling atmosphere! The sojus tastes great.

Went for my friends birthday a while back, they were able to easily accompany our big group. The food taste amazing & fresh, it was beautifully presented as well. Portions are good for the price, I didn't leave hungry at all. The decoration is also super cute & the atmosphere is very warm.

Le jeune serveur, avec des lunettes,a été super courtois & patient lors de notre première visite. Nous avons adoré la nourriture & l'ambiance, tous ce que nos voisins prenait avait aussi l'air vraiment bon. J'ai oublié de prendre des photos tellement nous avons mangé vite! Des parents avait amener leurs enfants & leur donnait que des trucs épicés, alors les cocos pleurait, le serveur est revenu pour RÉexpliquer encore, aux parents ce qui était plus adapté aux bambins & ce qui était déconseillé. Svp poser des questions en cas de besoin les serveurs se feront un plaisir de vous aider!
