When you are in a foreign country, it's hard to find a good home style restaurant. But this place is an authentic Korean restaurant.All side dishes and soups, especially I love their Kimbop. It is legit!! I'm so happy to find this nice restaurant. Also, everyone's who works there is very nice. They even put on Korean News on TV! It made me feel like I'm back at home ❤️.

I had taste for bulgogi and I didn’t want to go to a HotPot place to get it! Searched and found this hidden gem, when I tell you I was not disappointed, I WAS NOT! I definitely recommend you try it. The kimchi and vegetables sides definitely complimented the dish. I love it!

I went out to dinner with my kids, and they wanted to try something new. We walked in and were greeted immediately by the staff. Sat immediately after finding out how many.We tried the Mandu (fried dumplings), and these were amazing. The pastry was flaky and crisp, the filling was hot and flavorful. Definitely will return just for these.I had Beef Bulgogi which came with white rice and the meat was so tender, it had a hint of sweetness to it but paired with the complimentary banchan it was perfect.My daughter had the dolsot bibimbap with bulgogi beef she loved it, and the portion size was generous. She ended up having to take the extra home, which they put into to go containers for her at the table and bagged it up.My other kids had the fried rice which I failed to take pictures of, but both cleaned their plates. This will be a place we return to on a regular basis. Don't miss out.

Beef bulgogi hot stone special was amazing, kimbap was great, and soup was very flavorful. They had hot barley tea too. I'll definitely be back

This place is phenomenal. It was my first experience with Korean food and they explained everything to me and even gave me an extra sauce and told me what to put it with. The food was insanely delicious. Kimbap was better than any sushi I'd had and the Bibimbap was out of this world. YOU HAVE TO GO HERE.

A delicious place we’ve been going to for years! The staff take the time to know their customers, and the food is always hot and delicious. I’ve come to recognize that they tailor the Korean side dishes based on your preferences if you’re a regular, and it’s a very nice touch.

Was getting gas earlier today and happened to notice this restaurant on the corner. My family and I decided to check it out and order to-go but ended up eating in and was so pleasantly surprised and happy with the food and the service. We got the beef bulgogi stone pot and the squid stone pot. Our meals came with soup. We were also served appetizers while we waited such as kimchi, pickled cucumber, etc. Everything was fresh, hot and flavorful! Will be back in the future. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Couldn’t ask for more from Sami’s.
Food was overpriced. Ordered a dinner portion bulgogi but received a lunch portion. The yukgaejang has no eggs, noodles and other ingredients, and was charged $40 for the food. Called the restaurant and did not received any help at all :(
Busy place but the waitress set expectations. Food was great, though I prefer my bibimbap to have crusty stone cooked rice at the bottom instead of soggy rice. Steamed romaine lettuce was also a weird addition. Otherwise the food is great.

I frequently travel and when I do I look for Korean restaurants. One thing about Korean is that there are no "chain" restaurants, they are all locally owned and operated. Sami's is exactly that...% authentic. Two standby menu items were kimpop and beef bulgogi...and in my opinion were outstanding. The reason this wasn't a 5 star is because there were a couple basic menu items unavailable.

Took the wife, who, after 3 years, said she would try bulgogi. She loved it. I have been eating it here for some time, and it is more than "fire meat street food" it is elegantly prepared and served. Next time, I have to try something else. It all looks good. You know you are in the right place when the clientele are mostly Korean.

Stopped by this morning to grab some kimchi soup for my husband and lunch we can share together. Food was decent. Not extraordinary. Also not sure if the prices changed or if this is a usual thing. When I looked at the menu prices, it seemed that I was being overcharged... $12 for the bulgogi lunch box (which I thought was $10). Also I looked at the menu and the Mandu was listed as being 8 or 9$, I can't remember) but I believe I was charged 10$. Again, it could just be my mistake, but next time I'll have to double check the prices BEFORE paying for my food. On a positive note, the two women who were there were very nice and greeted me warmly.

I really enjoyed the food here. In particular, the chicken bulgogi was a real winner here. Everything else was the typical Korean side dishes, which measured up fine.
