“ Food and service is amazing. New to the area and was looking for good Korean restaurants. This is the best in the area hands-down. ”
“ The bulgogi and the rice balls with kimchi were AMAZING! It was honestly the best food ever! There also is some K-Pop in the background, which made a nice vibe to the place. The service was amazing, and its never busy, so the food comes out fast. We ate everything ”
“ Really yummy Korean food!! Generous with the banchans when requested. They also sell kimchi which I like to buy because they make it in-house and I'm not Korean lol! Lunch specials and bowls are great! ”
“ Came here with a friend one night for dinner for some Korean food, was impressed with the variety of dishes they offer! There wasn't anyone dining in at the time, so I assume they do a lot of carry out orders. Service was friendly though, and provided us with refills on our banchan side dishes when we asked. I decided to go with the Pork Cutlet Kimbap as I've been craving a good Korean sushi roll, and we don't have many places to get them in my area. It was nicely sized, and packed with a good amount of veggies and meat. The taste on its own didn't particularly wow me, but it was a good portion to fill me up, and with the sauce it's pretty tasty! Definitely want to come back and try some of the other Korean dishes they offer. ”
“ This place has been open for sometime but didn't visit it earlier. Good and quick service. Ordered Bulgogi , spicy chicken , Sea food pancakes, all very every yummy. Portion size was very generous as well. Their sides come in very generous as well. Service was good and fast . Their recommendation was also spot on. Good place for a Friday or weekend diner. ”
“ Best chicken of all korean chicken places!!! only downside is limited flavors, but if you just like the classic soy garlic, try it! ”
“ At 6, this place starts to get packed. But there's so much variety of Korean food and they even have ramen. The chicken and seafood pancake took some time but the bibimbap and soup came out right away. I like the place a lot as it's constantly streaming sports and Korean music videos. I would come back and wish there was a place like this closer to where I lived. Def my type of place. They also do takeout and big orders. ”
“ The restaurant is spaciuos with a lot of seating, and had 2 or 3 servers working around the time we arrived (3pm). Although there were 3 servers, they all left the old dirty dishes from previous customers sitting out on the table for hours.. [Food: 4 of 5]] so dduk - so dduk? - It came out first, and was super good. The rice cakes were crispy; the sausages were a bit over cooked for my liking but the whole dish tasted great with their sweet chili sauce. Fish Cake Soup- This soup was so hearty, and super hot. It paired amazingly well with our cold noodle soup. A bite of hot soup, with a bite of cold noodles. It was like the best of both worlds. We couldn't finish this soup because there was just so much of it; it is the perfect soup to share as a table. Cold Noodle Soup/ Mul Naengmyeon : This dish is seasonal, and my friend and I were afraid they wouldn't have it in season anymore since it's getting colder now and we're into the Fall season. Luckily, they did have it so of course we had to order it. The cold broth was refreshing, and tasted great with a dash of mustard and vinegar. Korean Fried Chicken- you have to order this first (recommended) since it takes over 30 mins to cook for it to get crispy. we ordered half soy garlic and half spicy. The chicken was crispy but could use more flavor/sauce. The sauce barely coated the chicken, so it kind of just tasted like eating at popeyes. The spicy wings were not spicy, it had a kick at first but then went away immediately. The soy garlic was good, but I wish it had more sauce on them. Water: I assume their water is just form the tap, but I would recommend not drinking it. It honestly tasted so bad, we contemplated buying a bottle of water from them. But ended up just choosing sodas. All in all, it was pretty good. ”
“ I might normally never visit Somac on a regular occasion except for the fact that I was driving by on my way to Point B and needed lunch in a bad way. The menu is in English (almost no Korean) and it says "Bar" in their title, so I would've Never expected decent or even good Korean food, and I was wrong. The place is very dark colored, even during a bright sunny weekday afternoon. There were patrons even at lunch. The service was actually very not bad. The bulgogi soon do bu (medium spicy) I ordered was served piping hot and surprisingly tasty. The bulgogi was tasty (a bit sparse) and Lots of tofu - yumm. They even gave me 4 little sides (kimchi, cucumbers, radish, and fish cakes) with my order. Def worth a stop if you're in the area. ”
“ My friends and I went here before one of the yelp events that was going on in the area. We heard that their chicken was good so we were excited to try it. The service was just okay. There were a couple times where we had to remind them to provide our drinks that we ordered and also the utensils that we needed. The restaurant was very big but empty. There were a lot of seats but also they did not clean up the dishes from a table that sat before us until we were almost done with our meals. Since they didn't, and had the door wide open, there was a fly that kept going back and forth around our table. Onto the food! Here's a little breakdown of what we got: Korean Fried Chicken (2/5) - We ordered this first because we knew it would take 30 mins to make. We had medium wings with half soy garlic and spicy. The chicken was a little too oily and barely had any sauce. The spicy was just spice but no flavor but the soy garlic was good. So Dduk - So Dduk (4/5) - This was super yummy. The dduk was so crisp and paired well with the sausage. The sweet chili sauce was also a great combination. Fish Cake Soup (5/5) - I can't tell if this was the star of the show or the mul naengmyeon but this was honestly so delicious. It felt like a hug in a bowl. There was a plentiful and a variety of fish cakes. Each with so different and flavorful. Mul Naengmyeon (5/5) - We were so scared that they weren't going to serve this because it wasn't summer anymore but they had it. it was slushy, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. The pears added a really good texture to the soup. I think they need to work on service and cleanliness but overall, the food was good! ”
