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!

C'était vraiment bon! On a commandé 3 plats pour deux personnes : Tteokbokki, Tofu Kimchi & le tartare de boeuf. & tout était excellent!

The tartare is amazing! Other items on the menu are pretty good too, but I would go again just for the tartare

Always great service! I've been there 4 times already & I'll keep going with my friends because it's so delicious & not so expensive compared to other restaurants. I recommend you to book a table if you're more than 2 because it gets full really fast! Our go to meal: beef tartare, bibimbap, & jokpal (the meal for 2 with pork & kimchi)

Food was good, portions are really sizable. I was a little sad they don't give you the side dishes though.

One of the best tteokbokki i've had in town, the uddon was good too but the mussels were not very fresh.

Les prix sont très raisonnables & les plats sont excellents. Leur crêpe au kimchi est succulente. I had Sundubbu & it was amazing. I'm so happy I got to discover this restaurant.

Their beef tartare is amazing! Also love their Naengmyeon & spicy pork dupbap. Make sure you reserve early, especially if you have a larger group!

The prices were fair & the food is good! Has a variety of soju! Also, if your spice tolerance isn't very good then good luck for the tteokbokki because I took a less spicy one & it was still very very spicy. Just an fyi :)

My favorite place for good korean food! The beef tartare is to DIE FOR. I've tried the bibimbap, rosé tteokbokki, katsu, soondubu, & more & they're all good! Lots of fun drinks options as well. Super sweet & caring servers too!

We came right at open & it the place filled up with in 30 mins. Had high expectations the place was going be good, but it turned out average. Ordered bibimbap & was extremely disappointed. Bowl came in warm but not sizzling, maybe its me but I thought the bowl should cook the rice so you get that crispy fried rice during the meal. Chill atmosphere, but it doesnt justify the price of the food, your overpaying for average, most of servers are just standing around which is fine but it really just gives off a eat pay leave vibe. Overall 2.5 stars, but Im rounding up.
