I always come back for the Korean fried chicken . They ran out of traditional so I had no get boneless . The flavor was still there . It's just a solid spot to keep going back to.

Disappointed … food was tasteless just a lot of sugar and oil .Save yourself the time and money. Went for dinner wanting to try somewhere new but unfortunately won’t be going back. Service was good but food was not.

One of our local faves. They do a lot of takeout so the inside is quiet enough for conversation and warm and inviting enough to stay while.

Way too expensive for this location and type of food. Food is ….. terrible. Please eat pizza it’s just a few doors away. If you want Korean go to manhattan

I really wanted to like and try this neighborhood spot however they completely messed up our order and provided terrible customer service. We ordered vegetable dumplings and they served us meat dumplings instead even after when we had expressed that we are vegetarian. They then made no effort to rectify the mistake. Also we ordered vegetable ramen that was completely left out of the order. Overall it was a very unfortunate experience and although the food was decent unless I witnessed a better service experience I would not return to Ssam.

This place is so inconsistent, but I can tell they cut corners. First time I ordered Budae Jjigae, it was really good.
I ordered it again a second time and it was pretty terrible, my impression was that they ran out of spam and sausage and the seasoning for the stew so they overcompensated by adding more rice cake, making the Budae Jjigae just a bland and watery pork kimchi stew with ramen noodles added to it.
I liked it enough the first time to order it again but if you’re low on ingredients, cancel the order, don’t compromise quality and try to cut corners…

This place had dropped in quality. Service was well meaning but terrible.

The food was completely cold, and part of my order was missing. I paid a total of $70 and received only this small portion of meat. The restaurant kept hanging up the phone and even gave me a wrong number. Thank you for this experience.
The interior is cute. Pork belly was flavorless, dry, and a small portion of meat and rice. For $29 I would have expected way more. Fried rice was okay. Service was not good despite it being almost empty inside. The server brought us the wrong food at first and it took a very long time to get their attention to get a check when there were only 2 other couples eating. There are other decent Korean restaurants in this area where you’ll get a lot more food with way better quality and better service.

They cancelled half of our order online without notifying us. What does the other person is supposed to eat? And the beef and tofu soup only have a tiny bit of beef in it, and we still needed to pay the fee and tip to Grubhub. Will not order from this place again.

We reserved the restaurant at 6pm for there and there wasn't that much people there. After 7 it is busy. We order different type of foods. The chicken wings and boneless chicken is a little salty. The stone pot rice was ok it is feels missing some kind of sauce. I will probably come back again try other foods. The restaurant is a little dark but there are lamps on the table.

Ordered this while at work today and I wish I didnt. Total waste of money. Smelled like freezer and wasn't fresh. The Kimchi was pretty good though.
