Sambong Korean Restaurant

If you are looking for authentic Korean staples, Sambong is where you should go.I love soondubu and they have one of the most flavorful soondubu's I have tried in MI. The LA galbi wasn't overly marinated (usually it's quite sweet) and it had a nice smokiness to it.I appreciated the self serve barley tea and bone broth which were both delicious as well.Each table also has a little pull out drawer with napkins, spoons and chopsticks.Staff were very friendly. Food came out pretty fast.

It's a you-serve-yourself type of place, and I don't mind that. They have bone broth is available as a drink option, which is quite interesting. We enjoyed the bone broth a lot. The LA Galbi is excellent. The portion seems small and rice is not included. The bibimbap is OK, they have lettuce in there, which is a bit weird. More of a homey style of a dish, a bit different than what I expected. The cold noodles seemed like a big hero on the menu, so we decided to give it a try. That's the only thing I do not enjoy. The noodles are really thin and hard to chew. I wish they offered more small dishes that come with your meal like most other Korean restaurants do.

We absolutely love this place!! Although it is a no tip place, the staff is always really nice and helpful. It is a self service kind of place, so they have all of their utensils, water, "condiments"etc on a counter and you help yourself. Everything we've ever gotten is always really good. You can't go wrong here, from their cold noodles, kalbi, to their jjajangmyun, jjambbong. They also have beef broth and recently added barley tea as their drink options for free. Go check them out!

We love this spot and eating in since there's bone broth and barley tea. So authentic! Everytime I've been there hasn't been much of a wait since it's self serve. They are so kind and everything is always clean

First and only place in MI that lets you get unlimited hot beef broth, that's a win for sure. However, overall their food was just ok.- mul naenmyun & beef kalbi combo- hwe bibim naenmyun & pork kalbi combo - grilled mackerel- DonkatsuBoth pork and beef kalbi was great, meat was tender on both, but I preferred the pork more than the beef, maybe it was the price point. Mackerel and donktasu was decent, nothing special to write home about. The bibim naenmyun was a lot better than their mul naenmyun. The mul naenmyun, no matter how much vinegar/hot mustard you add, it didn't really help with the seasoning of the broth.You order at the counter, they give you a buzzer, when it rings, you go pick up the food, when done, you drop off the tray at the front and out the door you go, no tipping, which is nice, but we all know it's added to the price :)Glad to see they have other food options, as with MI winter, they wouldn't survive just on offering naenmyun.One issue I had with their naenmyun, the mul naenmyun seemed like they pulled the noodle when I ordered it, whereas the bibim naenmyun, the noodle was precooked and ready to go. I got a lot of clumped noodles in my dish, thus can only give three stars. Interior is nothing special, but the tables do have drawers with spoons and chopsticks, so you don't need to get them from the self serve counter area :)

Authentic (not many non - koreans!)Fast service (order to food was 10 minutes)Satisfying (had the beef tendon stew), just the right spice level, leaves a warm feeling inside. Recommend this given it is cold outside nowaday.Dumplings were large and filled with egg and vege.Barley tea self service Beef broth self servicePortions decentThing that resulted in minus one is tables too small, felt a bit cramped. Service can be slow. We can at a slow weekend late evening time so it was quicker. The other time food came out in 1 hr. It is also quite warm inside.

Newly opened!!Fast casual Korean food - they were really busy on Friday night, which is a great sign! You order at the front and then find a seat and grab all your utensils, water or complementary bone broth (yummy!), condiments and plates and bowls at a self service station. Signs everywhere to remind no tipping and you bus your own food - but prices are very reasonable and staff are friendly! We ordered bulgogi, pork cutlet, dumplings and pancake and total was $60 all in, no tip. Everything was great, fresh, and the main entrees included a small bowl of rice and kimchi. There's mustard and vinegar along with salt and pepper at the self serve counter. We live nearby and will definitely come back - and a good sign that so many Koreans were eating here too! This is a welcome eatery to the area - fresh, reasonable prices and unique! There were some things on the menu that they don't have in stock; Small menu but very well done; there are about 3 vegetarian dishes, so may be limited if that's a dietary restriction. Small seating area that can fill up at busy times. We were a party of 3 and got the last 4 top so there may be a wait if it's a busy time.Big strip mall parking lot High chairs and booster seatsBathrooms but I didn't check them out.

Don't judge this place by how it simple it looks. The food is good and full of flavor! I was impressed with the portions and price. The mackerel was not fishy and the soondubu jigae was very flavorful perfectly cooked. The self serve barley tea and beef broth station was nice. I also love how the tables were all equipped with a little drawer with spoons, chopsticks, and napkins! Such a nice little Korean diner. The staff were so pleasant and nice!

Came in again for their full menu this time! Both dishes were excellent. Service also great. Highly recommend the beef soup. Meat is super tender, falls off the bone. Also a great price for the amount of food! Still love the no tip and free soup. Would recommend!

This place was very clean and organized which was nice! It's also self serve in regards to picking up your food, utensils, bone broth, water extra things like to-go containers. They were very clear about the self serving and not having tip which was cool too. The namyeong was very flavorful and tasty! I was definitely full off one along with the galbi. I also had some of their Mandu which was tasty too! I would come again :D
