First time at Somi. There is plenty of parking nearby. For appetizers, try the Korean Chicken Wings…read moreand Mandu dumplings. Then we tried whatever sounded good from the menu including pork belly, churrasco, short ribs, pork jowl, and the kimchi fried rice. To finish, their homemade ice creams were great: matcha, chocolate, vanilla, and coffee. The service was spectacular and the ambiance was chill.

The minute I tasted the kimchi, I should've known this was going to be a very inauthentic Korean…read morefood. Kimchi was extremely salty where all I could taste was salt and no other flavor. We ordered the ribeye steak which had an unpleasant oder when eating it right off the grill. We also ordered the marinated kalbi which was very poorly marinated and tasted like it was soaked only in soy sauce. Also this was a not kalbi or any kind of a rib meat. It was a tuff cheap cut like a tri tip or London broil. To top it off it had the same unpleasant odor when eating it. Lastly, the kimchi soup was extremely poorly executed. It's as if the chef add water to store bought kimchi and boiled it for a few minutes. It had no depth of flavor and was unbalanced. I do not recommend you go here. I gave it two stars since the service was great.

As someone who enjoys Korean food, this felt like an insult to the cuisine. Even the rice was bad, which is hard to excuse. The drinks were decent, but that was the only bright spot of the meal. Honestly, the highlight of my night was leaving and getting ice cream at the nearby Baskin-Robbins.

PR doesn't have many Korean restaurants. That I know of. This is one of two or three in San Juan…read more The rest of the island, I don't know. This spot is very small. It has about 5/6 tables inside, only one of those has the bbq. Outside, there is only one parking spot, so good luck. I believe they opened a second location in Trujillo Alto which has more space. If your looking for authenticity you won't find it here. This serves more as an introduction to some Korean dishes and even some fusion like Korean tacos and burritos. But it's all for the local palate. As an introduction, I guess it's fine. But for those veterans it falls very short. Nothing was bad, but it wasn't very good either. I got the ramen with bulgogi. The beef tasted like cubed steak and onions (biftec encebollado). It even had the onions in there. My wife got the bibimbap. That was better. I'm giving them 3 stars because service was nice.

Very friendly and helpful. She gave some nice recommendations for food and beer. You could tell she enjoys her job. We ordered several dishes to share. We got the edamame hummus. This was interesting. We also had the Spring Rolls, Japanese Fried Rice, Midori Beef Noodles, Crazy Roll, Fujimori Roll, Spicy Tuna Roll, and Eel with Avocado Roll. My dad also got a White Tuna Sashimi. Everything was a hit, especially the Fujimori Roll (server recommended) and the Eel with Avocado Roll. The Midori Noodles (server recommended) also stood out. They don't have a kids menu, but our server suggested the tonkatsu with white rice as a popular kids favorite. She was right. Our son liked it.

The sushi is fresh and made to order in a very timely fashion. Prices are fantastic too compared to a lot of other places I have been. 3 rolls for only 19.99? Yes please!! I also got a side order of chicken fried rice which is some of the best I have had in YEARS. It appears that they have bought the space next door and will soon be opening up, which will give a lot more seating, but it also looked like they might be doing Korean BBQ tables. Highly recommend!

I had the churrasco with tostones and they were amazing!! I also tried the fries from a friend and they were good. For an appetizer, I recommend the eggrolls, truly delicious. I was sad it was only two (parted at the middle, making them four pieces). The only thing is that the waiter was overly nice with three of the people in the table, including me, but kinda ignored my other friend who was there. Another friend wanted to add something to her sushi but they said the kitchen wasn't allowing substitutions/changes anymore.

We tried the pan fried veggie dumplings, scallion pancake, hongkong noodles, imperial ginger tofu, black bean chicken, ube pudding and donut with condensed milk. Also 4 drinks - ranging from floral soju based, tropical gin based to fruity bourbon ones. Everything tasted alright - but don't go here expecting authentic flavors - just get ur trip fix ins for asian inspired food. Also I'd skip the imperial ginger and anything that has sweet spicy description as those dishes only lean toward sweet sugary sauce flavors.

I admittedly had low expectations for Chinese food in PR, but the lo mein with chicken was delicious! They also had a few vegan options, like the imperial ginger w tofu (essentially sweet & sour tofu) that comes with a side of rice. My lo mein did not come with a side of rice but the portion size could be split among two people, and you can add a side of rice for a small up charge. The vibe is a black & red Asian decor, with a rap around bar and a few restaurant tables. There is also a walk-up boba bar attached that's available on the dining menu.
