We went back to this place on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The place looked the same since I left last time. On the day, we order the Miso Ramen and the Beef Bulgogi. The two dishes tasted ok, and it seems lacking the Korean favor that I remembered. Serice was ok, the servers were wondering in the kitchen area, and we were greeted only when we were ordering and paid for the meals. P.S. I overheard from another table, there is no Kimchi serving at this place (huh?). read more

Quality definitely varies based on dish and has decent portion sizes. I like to go for the staple kimchi tofu stew and kimbap whenever I go, the quality of those two remains the same over the years. Another thing I appreciate their stews are theyre very hearty and have a good kick of spice. Love their stews for winter! Their katsu are absolutely massive and will definitely recommend getting it if you're sharing with others. read more

Cash & debit ONLY! Prices have increased over the years, but not much can be done about inflation. Love their #8 here in medium spicy. Their refills of banchan are $1.50 each though. Gone are the days with free refills. 1hr free parking in the small complex. Their Mandu and Gimbap (Korean rolls) are also pretty good. Seafood pancake is decent. read more

This place is Chinese/Korean restaurant that serves predominantly Korean food. Portion sizes are average, the food is delicious and gets pretty busy. You have to write your name down and there is a seating time limit of an hour. We were there for a while as it was a slow night. The gamjatang was good with fall off the bone meat. Soup was well seasoned and rich. The chewy glassnoodles although tasty, isn't quite the usual tasting japchae and the sweet & sour pork is just OK. Overall the place is nice and cozy. Service is quick and doesn't hurt the wallet. read more

Samsoonie Noodle & Rice - Glassnoodles with beef - Korean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE Tucked away in the corner of the complex, it's a hidden gem and one you need to get to early, not long after opening, because the long waits are real! It's popular for a reason - not for the environment, but for the decent food and service! === 2. FOOD Fish Cake Ball Hot Pot ($17.50) Sure - the two skewers of fish cake were good, but the soup worked out well with the rice :) Cold Buckwheat Noodles ($17.50) Neatly presented (well-stacked!) and tasty - what more could you ask for during our unusually hot summer? :) LA Galbi and Rice ($28.99) OK, so the price is scary, but the meat is not! Flavourful, great with the rice, well-cooked; you'll likely be left hoping for more! Sides Note: there are only three side dishes available; your preferences may lean towards other Korean places. === 3. SERVICE Service was good right up until the very end, when it seemed like there was a lot of staff milling around the back in front of two separate patrons wanting to pay their bills. === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's older and cozy, and by that, I mean you'll likely be best keeping your group to 4-6 in size or smaller based on table configurations and wheelchairs and strollers may be a little challenged unless they're close to the front door. Parking can be a challenge also as the complex is often busy! read more

Out favorite go to Korean restaurant!! The portions are generous and they understand our tolerance for spice. When we ask for less mild it's perfect! The ramen is also a must try! I would recommend sharing this since it's too much for one person. The limit is one hour for dine-in due to its popularity. It's hustle and bustle here. Only accepts cash and debit. read more

A bit shocked they don't serve kimchi as a banchan side dish. Refills are not free but an additional $1.50. There were only 2 sides (fish cake and a bean sprout). They added rice cakes in the bulgogi as an extra filler. The flavor was good. Parking spots are adequate. Portions were alright. Not sure if we will be coming back due to those points mentioned above. read more

We were told the place is popular and usually very crowded. They don't take reservations. There are 3 parking spots behind the restaurant reserved for customer. Very tight spots. The place was quite empty at 6 pm on weekdays but they filled up by 645 pm. So come early if you are a big group. They do limit customers to 1 hour. And there are only 2 banchan with refills at $1.50. My issue is it's still only 2 plates for 3 diners. They should at least give each diner their own banchan if they are going to charge for refills. Food wise, it is fine. The seafood pancake is pretty delicious with the crispy edges. I had the seafood tofu soup (mild) and it was not that spicy. Very pale soup. The service was good. Cash or debit only. While the food is authentic Korean, I will not come here especially for it. Unless you live in Richmond. I can get other similar delicious authentic Korean food in Korean town which is nearer for me. read more

Tasty hidden Korean place tucked away inside a strip mall, away from prying eyes. Parking is available but rather limited in the strip mall lot. There are some spots in the side streets if one knows where to look. The interior is pretty bare bones and typical, with wooden furniture and mostly bare walls. Staff were very friendly and chatty and helpful. Food is a bit pricey (especially the seafood pancake), but it sure is delicious. The spicy pork bulgogi had a nice amount of heat but wasn't overwhelming. The seafood pancake is smaller the competition. The so called large size would be normal sized at most other places. Something to keep in mind. But it was quite tasty. The place is pretty popular (filled up on a Tuesday), and I can see why. Wouldn't mind coming back at some point. Recommended. read more

We ordered some take out in the heat wave and wanted to get the cold noodle but this item was eat in only so we went for their two types of kimbap and their gyoza with noodle salad as well as the small size of seafood pancake. All of their food is quite a large portion and tasted fine but I found that the service was not great. Yes I understand they were busy but you did not feel like anybody cared about you and it was just about speed and getting as many orders in as possible. The kimbap were tasty and had ample ingredients but it could have been cut better as the seaweed was all stuck and we broke almost every piece. The noodle salad is like a bibimbap but with noodle and I really enjoyed the flavour of their sauce and the mix of ingredients. The gyoza on top were also juicy and fresh out of the fryer. Finally, the seafood pancake was quite a large portion for the price and although it didnt have much seafood, tasted good without getting soggy despite take out. Overall, for Korean food in Richmond, its a good price and good food but very busy and could improve in service. read more

Yummy food! Their pork chop combo is a bit dry but everting else I've had is very good! They have a decent sized shop but also is not big enough to allow you to sit forever. They have a sign that you have about an hour or so to finish your meal and leave basically. So with that being said, once the food is ordered, it's a short wait and it will be served very quickly!! The staff keeps looking at you to see if you're close to finishing because when you are, they will come and clean your plate right away. I personally am not a fan of feeling rushed when I'm eating. We did have an incident where we paid and we're about to leave and a staff member came to us and said that we didn't tip enough. We had indeed already tipped but they believed it to not be enough. Not to be rude but they didn't do much, didn't come check up on us nor did they even refill our water during the time we were there. My daughter was walking to the table with us and the waitress told us to watch our kid.. super rude. Their food is good so if the opportunity arises I will be going back. But that would be if someone in my group wants to eat it, as I personally wouldn't suggest it. read more

A review for their takeout services during the COVID-19 pandemic. It's been a very long time since I last had food from Samsoonie but my friend had mentioned that they were still doing pick-up orders throughout the pandemic, and we were craving Korean food. Previously, I had ordered their mediocre ramen for the first time, which consequently lowered my overall impression and rating for Samsoonie. This time, we stuck with their Korean specialties and we were well satisfied. Perhaps it was because we have been eating home cooked meals for too long, but their seafood pancake really hit the spot! We were impressed by their thoughtfulness because all the fried/crispy items came in boxes with the corners cut, so the food would not become soggy. All in all, we were happy with our takeaway and would order again. The only item that we wouldn't order again would be the fried gyoza, because they were a bit too oily. (3.5/5 rounded up to 4/5) read more

Back visiting Vancouver and was 0c, decided to get soup. Thanks for Yelp Reviews to help me choose. Staffs are quite helpful. Place don't smell bbq stuff. Ordered Pork Back-Bone soup, medium level. Soup was nice and pork stew was real tender. Banchan just 2 items (Kimchi and bean sprout) So far I don't feel the "msg" sensation. As for price, i cant comment much because I just start travel post pandemic so not sure what's the standard price right now. (Probably decent price with inflation and stuff?) read more

Samsoonie Noodle & Rice - Pork Back-Bone Stew - Korean Near Me - Richmond, British Columbia

Friendly and casual Korean fare. They don't take reservations, so my friends and I (party of 4) waited about 15 minutes for a table. The place looks like a casual family owned Korean restaurant, which is generally different from the fancy and cleaner Korean places. Overall the prices are reasonable for the level of service; feels like a generally solid choice for a medium-range korean place. Would definitely recommend anyone who is a Korean enthusiast to try at least once; just make sure that parking is arranged because the lots are very cramped. For a Korean restaurant, the menu is quite extensive. We ended up ordering the following: - large korean style seafood pancake - decent portion of squid and shrimp, more greasy than crunchy, but warm and fresh - medium pork back bone stew - salty and hot, but good amount of pork and bone; tastes generally the same as every other place - beef bulgogi - marinated and seasoned, but nothing exceptionally special - cold buckwheat noodles - exceptionally chewy, but with proper level of mustard in the cold broth - read more

Still a solid place for Korean food. As usual, there were quite a few tables waiting. But we didn't have to wait too long to be seated. Service was prompt and our food was brought out quickly. Had the japchae (small size) and beef tofu soup. Basic items, but done well. The japchae had plenty of beef and veggies. The portion was quite large. The beef tofu soup had plenty of tofu, seemed like the whole roll of egg tofu. The soup had just the right amount of spice. Only downside is that they only serve two side dishes; beansprouts and kimchi. But they'll refill it if you ask. Overall, Samsoonie has been consistent over the years. Prices may have gone up, but the portions are still good along with the quality. Also, remember to bring cash or debit! read more

Came back cause my brother was visiting and he was craving cutlet and I was looking for a reason to go back to this place and try the cold spicy vegetable mixed noodles, so SAMSOONIE IT SHALL BE! Didn't have to change my review much besides saying it was good, only issue was parking cause other restaurant customers... well can't park NOR can they drive!! (Richmond Richmond) must be patient and be aware of all surroundings whilst getting to this lovely spot. We decided to get 3 Big Don Katsu, a small order of deep fried sweet and sour wontons but there was about roughly 12-14 pcs for the small which was great!!! but the main reason I wanted to try these spicy vegetable with fried dumpling cold noodles. I see all the vegetables and pretty colours and FINALLY it arrived. Move the other stuff off the table lady, place that right in front of me! Wowowowowowwww! They give you a seperate squeeze bottle for you to add as much or little korean gochujang which is fermented red pepper paste but this was mixed with sesame oil and some sweetness, was just right. If you don't like spicy I suggest don't add much but for the flavour this is expected. My brother was pleased and hubs happy as well, plus guess what.. LEFTOVERS thank you always to the one young waitress who does everything and still has a smile on her face!!! We will be back again soon! read more

If you feel like having simple Korean and want just the basics or staples they have them all , and then some . Their seafood pancake is a-ok , just not as thick and sumptuous as Insadong's . Dolsot bibimbap and spicy seafood tofu soup are on point , with the galbi-tang just a wee bit stingy with the beef short ribs allotment . They also charge $1 per dish of refills for kimchi or sesame oiled bean sprouts . Normally I hate being nickel and dimed but their side dishes are so good I'll gladly hand over my pocket change . read more

The ultimate comfort food! Korean food is our go-to comfort food, it's especially delicious when the food is sizzling hot. When in Richmond, we like to visit Samsoonie and they never disappoint! From the food to the ambiance of the environment, everything about it is so comforting [ DOLSOT BIBIMBAP ] There's at least two bowls of rice in this, the portion of the bibimbap was huge and they load it with tons of ingredients! How can something so simple be so delicious TIP: Let the rice sizzle for some time, so the rice on the bottom becomes nice and crispy. [ SPICY BEEF SOUP ] Served with a side of rice, with a good amount of spice. We like how the spiciness didn't overpower the flavours, there was a strong beefy taste infused into the soup, along with other flavourful ingredients. This really hit the spot, especially on a chilly day! [ SEAFOOD PANCAKE ] We love how they offer two different sizes, small and large. We got a small seafood pancake, it was about 8 inches wide and it was cut into 4 pieces. You should definitely get this if you ever visit Samsoonie , it was VERY crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. Most importantly, the octopus was cooked perfectly! ---------- PRICE｜$$ 。$13.99 Dolsot Bibimbap 。$13.99 Spicy Beef Soup w/ rice 。$13.99 Seafood Pancake (S) read more

Previously one of my favourite go to spots in Richmond but the quality of the food we had today was just average. We got to the rest aurant at around 8 o'clock and waiting roughly 25 minutes for a table for 2. For appetizer we had the seafood pancake which I will applaud for not being too oily, like many often are, but lacked seafood flavour. The batter was crunchy and the green onion flavour really shone through but I found myself searching for the seafood. The beef soft tofu hot spot was interesting. Unfortunately the egg yolk came broken, and the tofu had not had the time to absorb any flavour from the soup itself. I couldn't actually taste any beef flavour, but I could see there was plenty of pieces of beef in the dish. Lastly, I couldn't tell if the burn I felt was because I asked for it to be medium spicy and I just can't tolerate heat, or if it was the kind of tingle you get on your lips from something that has too much salt or msg in it. But all I will say is their kimchi side dish was spicier and I was able to tolerate that. Our third and final dish was the beef japchae, previously a dish favoured by myself and my partner. Before even tasting the dish, the smell of sesame was already overpowering my palate. The noodles were over cooked and soggy and again, the dish was just over seasoned and I got the same burning tingle on my lips. Service as usual was brilliant, they were quite busy so at one pint they wanted us to split the table with another table for 2. Due to Covid reasons we asked not to, and that was the end of that, the servers did not push us to comply and allowed us to finish our meal. Food came out a little slower than usual but given how busy the restaurant was, this was understandable. Unfortunately this experience does knock this restaurant down from god tier to just midrange on my list. I probably won't be back anytime soon, but I hope this experience was just a bad day for them and not the new norm. read more

I almost forgot to give a review but I'd avoid this place at all costs and just opt for H mart convenience food instead. Ordered the beef soondubu and the beef that was inside was completely rough short rib meat, almost as though it's been over cooked. Meat aside, the soup was completely bland. It looked like someone only used half the packet of shin ramen seasoning. My friend got the big don katsu, and it took 45 mins. When it arrived to the table, it was completely burnt (over fried). If it didn't take so long, they wouldn't have burned the food. The food aside, the only good thing was the Cavendish Costco fries (in a small ramekin on the katsu) and the tofu inside the soondubu (I don't see anyone making the tofu and it seemed to come from those tofu tubes that were made in a factory). Next time if I'm in the mood for soondubu or katsu, I'll try elsewhere or just make it myself. read more

Small Korean place on Westminster near the Price Smart. Doing pretty good business on a Friday night. The menu has Korean and some Japanese dishes as well. We got a small serving of the seafood pancakes, an order of glass noodle stir fry, and the pork katsu. The seafood pancake was pretty tasty and filling, and definitely should be eaten while hot. The glass noodle was decent, and the portion was larger than it looked. Finally, the pork katsu had very generous portions. The fried pork was average, but the fries that came with it were super crispy on the outside. The bill ended up being a bit over $40 for 2 with a decent amount of leftovers to take home, so it was a pretty good value overall. read more

Bossam is a pork dish in Korean cuisine. It usually consists of belly pork that is boiled in spices and thinly sliced. It is served with fresh radish, raw garlic, lettuce, and cabbage. It is a Korean boiled pork wrap. I see the gorgeous Bossam platter from Samsoonie on Instagram, so I decided to try it. It was a huge portion for a decent price even though we ordered the small one. It was really delicious! Samsoonie Noodle and Rice is a tiny Korean restaurant. It is located at 8211 Westminster Hwy, Richmond BC, which is in a strip mall across from Richmond Public Market on Westminster Highway. Food: 5/5 Must Try! Service: ‍‍‍‍4/5 Kids: 4/5 Yay!

Samsoonie Korean First visit April 24/2019 Hotpot Bublgogi (#45). Really good. Beef bulgogi noodle soup. Incredibly flavourful and aromatic soup and beef, along the lines of Pearl Castle's signature beef noodle. 5 stars. Deep fried pork cutlet (big don katsu, #28). Huge; 2 pork cutlets instead of 1; well cooked (fried) with bbq sauce drizzled on each slice. rice was good (not over or under cooked), but could've used a sauce for the rice. Still, double the portion for about $2 more than the typical don katsu; both cutlets were high quality meat with no fat or gristle. The fries and salad (like Asian cole slaw) were also good. The fries, fresh and crispy, were great dipped into the vinaigrette for the seafood pancake. Overall 4.25, but 5 star bang for the buck. Korean seafood pancake (#14). Tastes exactly how we expect a seafood pancake to taste; also as oily as we expect. 4 stars. Overall, would definitly come back. 1st impression: 8.9/10, 4.5 stars. Need to try their spicy chicken to a/b with Hanok. read more

This is a great place for some comfort Korean food! I love coming to this place for popular, delicious street food such as their rice cake - tteokbokki- and soup. We ordered the Spicy Noodle with Rice Cake. The sweet potato noodles were deliciously covered in tteokbokki sauce. Their quality of food is very authentic. The flavours are sweet with a bit of spice. I often see others ordering their gimbap (Korean Sushi Roll). We ordered the Beef Gimbap. The flavours were very nice and lights. All the ingredients harmonized well together with hints of sesame oil. We also ordered a single gamjatang (Pork Back Soup). I love their gamjatang! They come with 2 large pieces of pork back, some potato, and some soy bean sprouts. Overall, their potions are slightly larger than other restaurants. For two of us, two items would be a good amount of food for dinner. read more

We had our long waited Korean food fixed today with Samsoonie rice and noodles. A family run samll friendly Korean restaurant in Central Richmond. Their food tastes homemade, delicious and care. We have ordered three iconic Korean appetizers/cuisines today: spicy rice cake, sweet and sour chicken and seafood pancake. When I arrived they just finished making it, so it was hot, but they've noticed the details and packed the food well. So even when I got home, the chicken still crunchy and pancake still crispy. Spicy rice cake - all the things we loved about are in here. Rice cake has good soft but chewy texture. Lots of fish cakes and ramen noodle in it as well. Sweet and sour chicken - boneless crispy chicken with sweet and sour sauce mixing. It's surprisingly crispy even though they mixed with sauce and waited to be brought home to eat. Meat is ok but the crispness and seasoning is good. Seafood pancake - love this item the most. Their seafood pancake is packed with green onions and squid , that like other stores but using the real seafood. They are not cheap out here. Amazing with the sauce they provided. Overall, reasonable prices, smell and taste great, friendly service. read more

I had a craving for Korean food while in Richmond so I ordered takeout from Samsoonie! I really wanted kimbap that day so I ordered their beef kimbap. Imo it was not that great compared to the godly Kimbap Cheonguk in Coquitlam (i wish they could open a restaurant closer to van :( I found it quite flavourless and dry i guess. My family ordered some of their bibimbap and they said it was okay but not the best Honestly their are so many better places for korean food (like So Hyang) But this was quite cheap and satisfied my cravings a tiny bit haha (I guess I still need to take that long drive to Coquitlam for the Best Kimbap! :) read more

Korean Seafood pancake (small -$11.99), sweet and sour pork (small - $8.99) and the korean style beef roll ($7.99) This place was recommended to me by a friend, so I thought I'd give a try the next time I was in Richmond. It's a cozy little Korean restaurant tucked away in a plaza across from Richmond Public Market. We came here at around 2pm on a Sunday and were seated immediately; it was surprising to see that the place was still bustling with a relatively constant flow of customers at this time of day. The food: the food came relatively quickly and the portions were a good size for what you're paying. If you're sort of indecisive as a person like me, this place is perfect because you can get smaller sizes of almost everything and sample them. The seafood pancake wasn't as oily like some other places, and the sweet and sour pork had the right amount of sauce. The beef gimbap was good but for actually in hindsight, Kimbap Cheonguk in the lougheed area has better valued gimbap. But overall, this was a great place to curb some korean cravings without breaking the bank. read more

Getting ramen in new city's I travel is a mission of mine. I enjoy searching out the "top rated" shops and trying their dishes to see if they live up to my ideal ramen. This place has not lived up to the high rating. After the first flavorless bite of noodle and broth I was let down. The Chashu ramen I got was the higher price too and the chashu pork was cold! It was maybe sliced from a cold pork loin and laid on top before serving. On top of that it was lacking flavor. Chashu ramen is sort of like tonkatsu, which was missing from this places menu. I was not even offered any shio or chili sauce. Huge let down in Richmond! read more

Came to Samsoonie from a lot of good reviews from fellow Yelpers. We also wanted to deviate from our normal pho on a cold day. Ok I have a secret: I don't really like kimchi. At Samsoonie, like most Korean restaurants, they give you some free condiments. In this case the ubiquitous kimchi and seasoned bean sprouts. I have to say some of the best I've tried. They may even have changed my mind about kimchi. Impressive for just a couple of condiments I must say. So down to why we came here - ramen noodles. Yes ramen is Japanese but I do appreciate "Korean style" Japanese food. We got the spicy beef ramen. Wow enormous. Comes with a mini ladle instead of a spoon lol. Authentic, no, absolutely delicious, yes! It looks a lot spicier than it actually is. I would say it medium spicy for N American standards. Broth was rich and well seasoned, meat was tender and in good proportions and the noodles were nice and chewy. We are definitely coming back to try more dishes here as we were impressed. read more

I read about horrible parking but I was super lucky and snagged an amazing spot right away. I also came early to avoid the dinner rush. Super friendly and homey family style cuisine. Portions were huge and definitely shareable! Prices were also very reasonable, especially for the value. We started off with the Korean kimbap: yummy and nice size; nothing too special imo but no complaints either! Next we ordered the seafood pancake--this was probably the best one I've ever had. The pancake itself was delicious but unfortunately I found the dipping sauce to be too salty :( the spicy rice cake with noodles satisfied all my korean street food cravings. The fish tofu bowl was piping hot and the broth was refreshingly clear. Great spot for authentic and family-style korean food! It is debit or cash only so heads up! read more
