MealPal really delivered with The SSam’s Tofu Ssam—so colorful and packed with crisp veggies, smooth tofu, and those healthy, vibrant flavors. I’m all about lunches that taste this fresh!

I never had food like this before on how it was prepared and im a born and bred New Yorker. Gary the owner is a real stand up guy . I had the Bulgogi in the paper wrap and it was AMAZING. I even went back into the store to let Gary know 1st hand that it was awesome. Thanks again and DEFINATLEY looking foward in having this again.Since I couldn't add another review cause I just came here again for the 2nd day in a row. I'll just add to this review. Gary again shows he's a stand up person . This food is ABSOLUTLY INCREDIBLE. I came here again today and haven't stopped coming since day 1. This is over the 30th time now that I came here

I grabbed the Spicy Pork Ssam from The SSam through MealPal and wow, it was delicious and fresh! The mix of egg, peppers, avocado, and that spicy pork wrapped in rice noodles hit all the right notes. So satisfying and flavorful—definitely a top pick!

My first dinner here tonight was remarkable. The restaurant works well for social meetups and has cozy seating. Staff are reliably outstanding during all my dining experiences. The kitchen surpassed reasonable assumptions. This place delivers on its reputation.

I love how healthy and low carb this is, transforming a traditional kimbap into a rice paper roll! It’s generously stuffed with protein, what makes it stand out even more is the inclusion of apple and mint, adding textures and flavours that worked wonderfully well with other fresh ingredients!
I have came back many times since then, my favourite is def the grilled chicken and beef bulgogi! 😋😋

Not bad, but it's very unclear that this is a pickup/delivery only restaurant. Although there is a physical location, you cannot place an order in person.

Just walked in, ordered online and didn’t have to wait for long. This is great for ordering ahead and picking it up to go. The food was absolutely delicious. We got the Bulgogi and the Jeyuk ssams. They were light, filling, and very flavorful. Very delicious. Definitely worth the price. The grape and pear drinks are very delicious and refreshing as well. The owner was super nice. Definitely stop by here if you can, you won’t be disappointed.

I get this for lunch often. Unlike anything else I’ve eaten, always comes out perfect and the owner is the sweetest!
The bulgoggi was excellent! Veggies on it were super crispy and crunchy. Gentleman was super friendly. Can’t wait to come back.

Located in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, The SSam offers a modern twist on traditional Korean cuisine. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the clean, minimalist decor and friendly atmosphere. The staff were incredibly welcoming and took time to explain the menu items, which was great for someone not completely familiar with Korean food.
The standout for me was the SSam Bowls—especially the spicy pork and the bulgogi beef options. The flavors were bold and authentic, with just the right balance of sweet, savory, and spicy. Each bowl came with perfectly cooked rice, fresh vegetables, and a variety of sauces that allowed you to customize the flavor to your liking.
Portion sizes were generous, and the ingredients tasted fresh and high-quality. The kimchi was also excellent—crisp, tangy, and clearly homemade. For those in a hurry, the service is fast, making it a perfect spot for a quick but satisfying lunch during a busy workday.
The prices were reasonable considering the location and quality. Overall, The SSam is a fantastic place for anyone looking to enjoy flavorful Korean food in a relaxed and clean environment. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to others.

The food is superb. Made to order, the wrap was a lovely combination of Vietnamese and Korean. The sauces make it taste even better. I love a rice wrap, and the meat with the vegetables was spectacular.
The people are super nice, too.
It's doesn't look like much because it's a kitchen with a to-go space. It's worth figuring out exactly where it is. Order ahead of you're in a rush.

The food was so good. 16$ for your food and it was incredible and the owner was so nice! Honest on the $10-20 range.
