So we decided to get some lunch bentos and the hot stone bibimbap and a seafood korean pancake. The pancake was good a little salty but overall good for sharing. I liked my marinated spicy chicken bento and felt that it was quite filling. The hot stone bibimbap was just okay but probably because we got it with tofu and not with any other meats. There's plenty of seating inside and bar seating too. Seems like a spot where people come for lunch during work. Its not the best korean food I've had but would recommend for a lunch spot if I was near by and wanted something different than what's near by. Service was good and the host and waitress was helpful.

Basically, it tasted as if the owner is in the back running the line because his cooks left him hanging. All the cooks were gone, crappily marinated, improperly cooked meat is what we got. Who ever was on the sides and banchan were on it though. They need a raise. Either fire your grill cook and hire a real one. Also, clean your restaurant and pick a theme man. Sidenote, having the server come out to tell us without coming out yourself is lame. "You just don't like "our" food. It's supposed to be like that." Fool. No it isn't. Your marinade for your meat is crap. What yall need is a chef to run stuff. Someone like me or my husband. Sorry, also: the star goes toward your pantry cook. The banchan was not bad, weird lineup but not bad. Why no japchaee, or radish kimchi? Also, that much mayo on steamed broccoli def wasn't my favorite. Ps.ps. they really tried to convince us that this is how its supposed to taste, what do you mean it tastes sour? I mean, your marinade has too much vinegar in it. It tastes bad. What exactly is wrong with the galbi? It sat in the marinade too long, the meat taste grainy in it- because of the pear in the marinade- or pineapple juice to each their own. It can basically cook the meat before the meat hits the pan if you leave it in there too long. You would notice this stuff- presentations good. But if the foods bad, it's bad no matter how pretty you make it look. We paid the full bill. Gave 10% to the server, because it wasnt her fault but she didn't help the situation.

Perfect for dates, family outings, or business meeting location.

The place is always full when we're there, but I haven't encountered a wait for seating yet.

The grills can be a little slow, but our servers were attentive and changed out the grill plates often to help with optimal cooking. The buffet offers a good selection of bonchon dishes and some preprepared meat options. Although the preprepared meats are good, they aren't as fresh so I'd highly recommend ordering from the grill menu to get the best quality meats!

The good stuff: whenever I visit, staff was always welcoming, friendly and prompt. Food doesn't take a while to come out, and it's always hot and fresh. Noodles are wavy and thick, and the soup is delicious. Keep in mind their broths taste saltier than other ramen places, but I personally don't mind.

2/13/26 - this is the date in which I had the best fried chicken I had ever had. Before writing…read morethis review, I looked at how other people rated the food here. I'm not sure what their experience what, but I'm going to die on this hill that this is some phenomenal, life-changing chicken. I got takeout. Double flavor wings. Gang-jeong. Perfect balance of sweetness, umami, and heat. The other flavor was chessling. Again, perfect balance; this time, it was between rich cheesiness and a right amount of sweetness as well. I highly recommend both flavors. Now, this is just about the flavor itself. The meat itself was so tender and juicy. In the most appetizing, and hopefully not weird (but inevitably weird) way to describe it, it's almost as if I just caught the chicken with my bare hands and took a bite out of it. However, instead of getting feathers in my mouth, I was met with the most satisfyingly crispy exterior. What was specifically amazing about it was the fact that you could distinctly taste the tender meat on the inside separate from the crispy crunch on the outside. This was one of those meals where once I was done, I was in a complete coma afterwards. I woke up the next day in my bed about an hour or two before I had to get to work. Even though I was in a short vegetative state, I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sam Won Garden. The sautéed Octopus was a true standout - perfectly cooked with a delightful blend of flavors that left me craving more. The Spicy Seafood Soup was a burst of rich and aromatic goodness, filled with a variety of fresh seafood that made each spoonful a culinary adventure. The bold and flavorful broth added an extra layer of satisfaction to this already impressive dish. The Grilled Markel showcased the chef's skill in transforming simple ingredients into a masterpiece. The charred perfection of the markel, combined with well-balanced seasoning, made it a highlight of the meal. Sam Won Garden in Fort Worth, TX, is a must-visit for those seeking an authentic and delightful Korean culinary experience. From the sautéed Octopus to the Spicy Seafood Soup and Grilled Markel, every dish reflects the chef's dedication to quality and flavor. I look forward to returning soon to explore more of their enticing menu. read more

I've been on the hunt for a good Asian restaurant in the area, and I'm so glad we found this place! From the outside, it's a little tricky to tell if they're open--the "open" sign isn't very clear--but once you step inside, you're in for a treat. We ordered the seafood tofu soup, and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and tasted like authentic Korean cuisine. The service was another highlight--our server was incredibly nice and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The only small downside was the temperature inside. It was a bit warm, and it seemed like their AC might not be working. But honestly, the great food and service more than made up for it. I'd definitely come back for another meal! read more

A sushi bar if you want something more low key, some dimly lit tables, and a brighter dining area where I landed. No outdoor seating, but it stays busy which was surprising given the location. Menu looked like it might be tough for a vegan at first glance, but my server was super knowledgeable and made it easy. I ended up with seaweed salad, cucumber salad, edamame, roasted brussels sprouts, and a tofu style poke bowl situation that was actually really good. Green tea was solid too. Only note is if you like spice, you have to ask for it because it is very mild on its own. It is a little pricier than expected for the setting, I was around $40 for lunch, and service was great.
