“But here, we feel comfortable trying new foods because Sam Won Gak always makes their dishes amazing.”
“By far, the thing to get is the jja jang myun and jjam bbong for your "entrees" and the ttang soo yook and the fried shrimp thing for your appetizers.”
“Their Tang Soo Yook is crispy–although some prefer them drenched in sauce,
and their Jjam Bbong is one of the best around.”

I like the food here. The JaJaMyun is ok. Nothing to rave about. The service is fast here. You always leave smelling like meat so shower after you fo foe food here.
excellent and authentic chinese korean food. yang jang pi, ja jang myun and jiam pong are excellent, overall a great place with consistent taste, large portion and affordable prices. One of the family favorites.
one of the best korean-chinese restaurants. everything is excellent. this has been around a very long time and their food proves why. You will get your typical Korean Chinese food here and there is no dish that they do badly here. All dishes are on point. Love the reliability of this place.
Overall an okay restaurant. The Kkang poongi wasn't that good – we didn't even realize what it was until our tang soo yuk came out! The dishes were very similar and for anyone that knows their Korean dishes, you know that they're very different! The tang soo yuk, jjang bong, and jja jang myun were all okay. The food came out pretty fast and there was always someone that we could ask for something.
This place has been open for as long as I can remember & a restaurant, which can withstand that test of time especially in queens when it is already surrounded by a number of competitions has to be good! Whenever I come, I always order the jajangmyun. It always tastes super fresh and the sauce is rich & does not skimp out on the extra ingredients that gives the sauce the umph. In addition, I always order jjamppong (but as I just got my wisdom tooth out recently, I couldn't eat anything spicy) so my boyfriend and I opted for the beef & broccoli lunch special. (We got there with just a few minutes to spare- lunch special ends at 3PM; score)! Unfortunately, the beef & broccoli wasn't that appetizing and tasted much better after we reheated it up at home as a midnight snack and added our own personal ingredients to it but I can't deny that every dish made here is definitely made with the best of ingredients- which are super fresh. The whole restaurant itself has been recently redone so the interior is relatively new and spacious. The waitresses are also attentive. Give this place a try! I cannot say if this place is better than the Chinese restaurant right next to it as I haven't been able to try the other place just yet but I will definitely get to it. However, I wouldn't be surprised if SahmWonGahk outshines the restaurant next door.
We ordered the jjajangmyun and the jjajangmyun dried style, #1. And pork tangsooyook.
The good
-noodles were chewy
-big portion
-dried style jjajangmyun taste much better, more flavor.
-tangsooyook has a slight crisp and chewy. The sauce has the right amount of sweetness and sourness. It was really tangy
The bad
-#1 jajangmyun tasted a bit bland
It was ok. .really not the best place. Their jumbong was watery and did not have much flavor.
Also tried their shrimp fried rice and that was bland as well. The only thing we really enjoyed from this place was the fried shrimp with chili sauce and the free kimchi.
Jumbong took forever to come out too…over all I guess this place will do if you were craving for korean chinese food in the area, otherwise, avoid
This is a fairly new Korean style Chinese food restaurant on Northern, closeby to Parson's Blvd. It is just okay overall. The interior is great, newly renovated, clean and open. Lots of seating so great for groups. The food though was just ok, really not memorable. I had their more famous dishes: the jajamyunh, spicy seafood noodle, and fried shrimp with chili sauce. I liked the fried shrimp the best. The shrimp was so big! It was quite tasty and very filling as there is a lot of batter on the shrimp. Both noodle dishes were really big. It's a great portion size for one individual, as it fills you up while sharing a bit with others. In terms of taste, they were pretty good, not bad. A little slow on the service, but then again I did come late at night. Pricing was moderate, decent for what you get.
