Sam's Delicatessen

Came here to avoid traffic on the way home. We usually get our catering done here for parties and we enjoy it. The parking area is small so we just parked in the bigger lot and walked about a minute away. The inside is small and has that mom and pop feel to it. A couple tables and a few chairs. Most people come to take out here.I got the meat jun plate. You get your usual 4 choices of sides. The amount they give is decent and they give you two meat jun pieces sliced up, Into smaller pieces. Their sauce was good but I prefer a little more peppery spice. Overall it's a good spot for Korean food in the area. I'll always take the time to stop by if i'm near.

I ordered combo of meat jun and fish jun plate and what I got was 1 pc cut up into 3 pcs meat jun and 2 small pieces of fish jun. I was so disappointed that I didn't even take a photo... the servings of the sides are also very slim. For $20, I should be going to yummys who Atleast gives me 2 full pieces of meat Jun and 2 full pieces of fish Jun for $25. My friends mochiko chicken plate looked more full and value.

This next to Bangkok Chef with 3-4 angled stalls in front. Small establishment with 3 tables. Not sure if I was greeted by the cashier/order taker, may have been greeted but honestly don't remember...was already looking the menu trying to decide on what to order. Ended up ordering the Oahu Special (1 Kalbi, 1 BBQ Chicken, 1 BBQ Beef (couldn't really tell since it was all bits of meat), 2 Mandoo and 4 choices of side) and Tonkatsu (Pork). The Kalbi was good, bbq chicken was a bit salty for my taste, bbq beef was alright I guess but I really hate/dislike when the meat is kasu (small bits of pieces kind of like you you cut for a baby). Enjoyed the Mandoo with the Mandoo sauce from another Korean restaurant since they didn't give any sauce. The tonkatsu was good, crispy but not burnt. The sauce was good also. The day I decide to carry just my drivers license, 1 credit card and no cash, there would be an issue with the credit card machine. Waited patiently for the Tech to arrive but the owners I presume were talking and then he asked if they could rerun my card which was a success...he said probably internet issue. This wasn't their fault, not in their control. After I paid and just as I was sitting down to wait for my order, the other girl said here's your order. She was lacking in the customer service part....Didn't ask if wanted fork or chopsticks like the other lady did for the other customer. I guess with this girl you'd have to ask instead.

First time ordering from Sam's Delicatessen. My sister suggested picking up dinner here. Parking is angled and limited here. Be careful parking here. Interior reminds me of old time mom and pop delicatessen. Small interior. Two ladies were covering the counter area. Many options to order from and it took me a few minutes to look at the options. We ended up ordering three bentos and a plate lunch.The $10.99 bento is small for the price point. The $13.99 bento is large and has more of a variety of meats. Sadly the only vegetable that comes with the bentos is cabbage. The plate lunch was my sister's order, so I am unable to review that plate. This place has catering and many Yelpers report that the prices have skyrocketed here for catering. The food was average. 3/5 starsAmbiance is not much at all. Could be cleaner and more lit. 3/5 stars. Service was minimal and no welcome. 3/5 stars. A good point is that Sam's offers brown rice as an option. Overall, I probably wouldn't return here.

My parents picked up Korean food for dinner and I decided to stick with Kimchee soup to be safe. My boyfriend got the Fish jun since he's never had it before. He really liked it since the inside was moist and the outside was a little crispy. He enjoyed the banchans as well! My kimchee soup was so yummy and had the perfect kick to it! Sometimes kimchee soup isn't spicy which makes me sad because I love my spicy flavors! This soup had the perfect ratio of tofu, kimchee and meat. My soup came with rice and banchans as well. There isn't too much parking so I recommend if doing take out, have one person driving and another person hop out to grab the food. The inside of the restaurant is giving old school, mom and pop shop. Kind of pricey but if you're really craving korean food and in the area, I'd give this place a try!

Recently ordered bentos for a small party and everyone enjoyed it. The party platters are getting so expensive that I think the bentos were a better deal this time around. However, the mochiko chicken doesn't taste the same as it used to be, not sure if they changed the recipe but it's not the same mochiko chicken from a few years ago. The fried chicken wings is still excellent. I still like this place but just not as much as before.

I haven't been here for years and the family package has gotten more expensive. The food is still good. They charge for package and don't give a box to hold your order. I had to go back to my car to get a box. The meat jun was tender. The kalbi was tasty. Everyone liked the chicken wings. They still have taegu as a side but they are smaller portions. Did a take out. No takeout menus. If order min 3 same bentos get a special price. Check them out.

This place has gone downhill since I first started coming here. They nickle and dime you for everything including any kind of sauce (.25 cents extra), utensils cost extra if you ask for more than one (they did not even offer me any chopsticks or napkins), paper bags are .30 cents each, soda refills cost extra, $10 minimum for credit cards, etc. etc. the only thing they don't charge extra for is brown rice!The vegetable portions were really skimpy (see photos) and they were also pretty bland. I barely got any broccoli or bean sprouts.The chicken wings were pretty good, they were perfectly cooked and the batter was nice and crispy. The only drawback was how they were dry and they don't serve any sauce with them (I paid extra for the gochujang sauce and it was watery and tasted like it was rotten).The service is not friendly at all.Overall, there are better places with bigger portions in my neighborhood and sadly this little former gem won't be on my list to go back anytime soon.

Called in a take out on Saturday night at around 7:20pm. Ordered the combo meat jun and bbq chicken. Server wanted me to pick out vegetables because they were closing soon. Asked what time they were closing so that I can pick out my own vegetables when I get there, but was told I needed to pick them out now because they are closing soon. After I picked the vegetables, I was told to come now. Picked up my combo plate for over $21 and when I got home, there was only one small piece of meat Jun and 2 thin pieces of bbq chicken that was and overcooked. It appears the delicatessen gave me whatever left over they had sitting around. The food quality and quantity was good once upon a time, but I will never go back there again.

I love their food & I live in the area, it's one of the places I can conveniently get a good quality, well rounded meal. A little pricey, but I can tell all their banchan is made in house & very good. Every once in a while i splurge on their chicken wings which are soooo ono!I also got their meat jun party platter which was a crowd pleaser at the pa'ina :)
