I like atmosphere. I have never been in South Korea, but I like it. It is like a small restaurant but at the same time you can do barbecue by yourself or make kitchen order. Service is good as well. Check can be different depends on what you like. My friends discover there beer and also nice drink is makgeolli (somebody can say it’s like a beer but it is a sparkling rice wine).

The food was amazing, and the service was even better. The restaurant is super clean and inviting. We brought a friend that had never tried Korean food before and they loved everything they tried. Absolutely recommend this place for divine food!

Delicious Korean comfort food! Warm and friendly staff made it feel like home. We did the traditional Korean barbecue at the table, and it was outstanding. We ate so much galbi steak, pork belly and spicy pork bulgogi we could barely move.Kid-friendliness: The owner was a delight and treated my kids like they were her own long-lost grandkids.

There was no soft tofu in the soft tofu stew, the meat in the sweet and sour pork was undercooked, and it was a restaurant with no basics.This is my first time living in a restaurant like this in my life in the US.

Very authentic!! My family always enjoys dining here. Place looks dated on the inside however if you can overlook that you will enjoy a wonderful experience. Owner is always on-site to ensure top quality food!

My roommates and I have been coming to this place for almost a year now, we have never had anything short of an incredible experience. The menue might take a little mastering to figure out what you like best but service is always incredible and the food is always perfect. I won't recommend it as a take-out spot but if you are looking for a sit down Korean meal in Jax you won't find anything better.

Sam Won has been a go to spot for me for over the past 8 + years.I’ve tried other Korean bbq options here and Jax, and keep coming back to my lil hole in the wall spot over here. I think what you get for what you pay is very fair, the service has always been very good, and so is my food each time I make the trip over here.Sam Won is the type of place that after you visit once or twice, you know what you are going to get each time you come in. It’s reliable.Their bibimbap is my all time favorite. Normally I get it in the hot stone, but this time decided to try it in a regular bowl, and add an extra egg to it. Still just as delicious.Their homemade hot sauce they bring to the table with the bibimbap is very tasty. If you require a little extra heat, just tell your server and they will bring a much hotter version of the same sauce, to your table. I greatly appreciated that - custom!The glass noodle appetizer shown in the pics was extremely delicious. That was a new try for me and I will be ordering that again on my next visit!The spicy pork was not overly spicy. I’d classify it a mild to low end medium heat for those of you who like a little spice, but not too much.
