Overall, my experience was quite good. The sundae was undoubtedly the highlight of our meal; it was served at the perfect temperature and was wonderfully soft and delicious. The jjampong was well-seasoned and had a generous portion size. However, I found the sundubu to be the least impressive dish, rating it 3 out of 5 since it lacked the flavor I was hoping for—it was mostly just salty. I was also disappointed that they didn’t have kimchi sundubu, just various types of meat. On the bright side, I was pleased with the amount of seafood included. The service was impressively fast, with the jjampong and sundae arriving in under five minutes. I will definitely be back!
Food The free snacks they offered was okay and super limited compared to other restaurants. The seafood pancake and fried chicken were very good, but the tofu stew with beef was mediocre. It would have been better if they used shredded beef rather than diced beef. Everything else Services basically didn’t exist. They forgot to give us menus, and when we asked for it, they gave one menu. How do you expect two people to look at one menu?!
Rating: 4.5 stars. This restaurant offers a straightforward approach to Korean cuisine. As mentioned in other reviews, the banchan (side dishes) are quite limited, but the main dishes we ordered were delicious, and the portion sizes for the meat dishes are generous enough to share. We spent around $25 per person for lunch, which I think is a great value.
Try Samsun Jjamppong here! It's not that hot and the flavor is rich with lots of vegetables and seafoods. It's worth its own price. But need to improve the side dish quality/variation and the table cleanliness. Side dish quality was too poor and the table was not that clean. Except for those two, it was awesome

One of the best Korean restaurants I've ever visited! The jajangmyeon was absolutely delicious, and the jambong had just the right level of spiciness for me and my friends. I can't stop thinking about how tasty the tangsuyook was. I will definitely be returning!
I ordered Japchae $15.95) and it was super delicious. The ratio of noodles to veggies/pork was just right and I felt comfortably full afterwards. The service was also good. Definitely would come here again.
It was my first time eating Korean cuisine, and it was super delicious! I ordered a main dish, a side, and a drink, and the total cost was great for a large meal $20)! Definitely coming back.
Best seafood scallion pancake at Seoul Jangteo. The size of this pancake was as big as a medium size pizza
