I had a serious craving for hwe naengmyun (spicy cold noodle with raw fish) after having it in LA,…read moreand after some searching in Michigan we landed on Sambong. I'm so glad we did. This place absolutely delivers. The service alone is worth noting. Our server explained that the owner makes the myun (buckwheat noodles) fresh in house, using the ultra thin style that absorbs the broth if you don't eat quickly. That detail alone told us we were in the right place. The hwe naengmyun (spicy cold noodle with raw fish) was exactly what I was hoping for. The fermented, salted raw fish had that sweet, sour, spicy, deeply umami flavor I missed, with a chewy texture that pairs perfectly with the icy, refreshing broth and noodles. I'd give it a 4.5/5 only because I personally love it even more aggressively fermented, but that's purely preference. At the end of the bowl, adding yuksu (hot beef broth) is the move. It softens the sharp vinegar edge and adds a deep, savory warmth that rounds out the last few bites beautifully. We also ordered mandu guk (dumpling soup), which is pure comfort. A milky, rich beef bone broth with hearty dumplings, perfect for a Michigan winter day. This is an easy 5/5 when the broth is this good. The bindaetteok (mung bean pancake) was another highlight. Crisp on the outside, soft and savory inside, and cooked just right. A solid 4.5/5. Sambong is a place I'll happily return to. Not just for the food, but for the connection to traditional Korean dishes that are hard to find elsewhere in the area. This spot feels special.

After working out at a nearby gym, my friend suggested Sambong Korean Restaurant for lunch. I was…read moreinitially hesitant. Since I live in an area with plenty of Korean restaurants, I don't usually go out of my way to eat Korean elsewhere -- especially not in the most corporate area of Troy. That said, I was hungry, craving meat, and my friend insisted that Sambong was worth trying I kept my expectations low. The restaurant is set up cafeteria-style and completely self-serve, which means no tipping culture. We ordered at the counter, found an open table, and grabbed utensils and napkins from the self-service station. There are also two large jugs, one for barley tea and the other for beef broth, available to enjoy throughout the meal. While waiting for our food, my friend and I sipped on the piping-hot broth. It leaned a bit too salty but was incredibly soothing given the windy, chilly weather. COMBO: MUL NAENGMYUN + PORK NECK BBQ - 21 (after tax) My tray came with a large bowl of naengmyun and a sizzling plate of grilled, marinated pork neck. I started by tasting the cold broth on its own, which was lightly sweet and tangy. While I prefer a tangier broth, adding a good amount of mustard and vinegar helped intensity the flavors. The buckwheat noodles were plentiful, chewy, and soaked up the icy broth nicely. The pork neck was incredibly tender with a delicious marinade, though definitely on the fattier side. I was able to enjoy a piece of pork with nearly every bite of noodles and broth. The contrast between the cold, tangy noodles and the warm, sweet-savory meat was extremely satisfying. Overall, I definitely recommend this combo, as it was delicious, filling, and reasonably priced. Yum! After we finishing our meal, we returned our trays to the designated stand, completing the self-service experience. This is a great spot for comforting Korean dishes, especially in the Metro Detroit area. I'm shocked to find such a solid Korean restaurant in Troy. I ending up drinking three cups of the beef broth, which was addictive. Even on a Monday afternoon, the restaurant was more than half full, and there were quite a few older Koreans diners, which is always a good sign.

I was welcomed by a nice lady at the register who took my order. She helped me with a couple of questions I had because I wanted to try something new but also wanted to get one of the Mozzarella Corn Dogs. I ordered a couple of tacos this time. Both were on the spicy side but not a lingering, hot spicy...just a quick "bite back" spicy, if you know what I mean. One was a Spicy Pork and the other was Chicken Teriyaki but both had a similar amount of spice. Might have been the sauce used. Hubby ordered the Teriyaki Chicken Bento Box. It was really good as well. I like this location as it's closer to me than Troy but both have great service and food.

I grabbed a menu and began my search for my fated dish. Having always been a fan of teriyaki chicken, that's what I went ahead and ordered. The staff, in the little interaction I had was friendly and the food came out promptly. Unlike some teriyaki chicken, this was thankfully not fatty and made for a pleasant dining experience. The avocado was fresh, and the bottled sauces that were included offered incredible flavor! I would say, from the meal, my favorite dishes were the chicken itself the kimchi (which was extra) and the noodles pictured in the bottom right (which I do not know their name). They were cold, which I believe is how they are served but they were really good and meaty! The kimchi was delicious and paired SO well with the dish! My only complaints were with the rice and the drinks. I was not really a fan of the texture of the rice and the soda was a bit flat. Overall I would rate Kimchi box a 4/5. A charming and clean establishment in its own right and I would gladly go back, especially to have some revitalizing food on a cool rainy day!
