Sam Won Garden Restaurant

We have eaten at this restaurant often. Every payday I have to get my korean food fix, and this is where we go.



I have NEVER seen it filthy, in fact it is quite clean all the time unless you walk in and someone just finished eating where the staff has not had time yet to clear the table.



They have a couple of meeting or banquet rooms and the people who run this place service that side and the individual tables as well, so if you walk in and they aren't right there (which has never happened to me yet) then they might have stepped into the other room to do some service and will be back momentarily.



In the beginning, first couple of visits, they greeted us and said we could choose whatever seat we wanted. They don't seat you to divide you up among waiters equally, so you can go where you want. It's a small restaurant space with pleasant decor. Having been there several times now, the staff now recognize us and kind of know what we like without having to ask. Every dish we have selected is always very good. I have even begun using the chopsticks and have become quit good with them, though they will give you a fork if you ask. Service is always attentive. You will see some reviewers mentioning service is slow. Yes, if you are in a hurry, this is not the place to go for dinner. I like the slow laid back atmosphere. It is family owned and operated. If you need something, you just ask and they will graciously bring it. If you need to get out quicker, just tell them that. Otherwise they will assume you are eating at your leisure, like everyone else. They are very friendly and accommodating if you let them know what you need. And the food is always very good, with a full bar, if you are so inclined.



This restaurant one of my favorite place to go regularly. It wouldn't be that way if they had really poor service, bad food, or were filthy. The bad reviewer didn't even eat there. They must have been in a big hurry, like many Americans are. I strongly recommend this place if you like asian food. It really is very good and prices are in line with other Korean restaurants.

You are applying your Western or "American" expectations to this establishment. These Korean Restaurants are primarily family owned business which is their way to the american dream. I have been eating in Korean Restaurants for over 20 years and if you're waiting for them to ask you what you want your going to be there a long time. Don't let your rigid attitude spoil what may be a wonderful culinary surprise. Most wait staff in Korean business will gladly serve you if you let them know what you want or need. Basically, they are busy serving customers by moving food from the kitchen to the table. Additionaly, you will probably have 2 or 3 servers at your table during your stay. So relax and enjoy the culture, as they get to know you you'll experience better service and enjoy your meal.

I am not an expert on Korean food but always order the typical American favorites. The Fried Won Ton appetizer, Korean BBQ, and traditional noodle dish are excellent. We use to have to drive to Irving or Dallas and have been pleasantly surprised at how good the food at this place is. The service is not that great but it's worth putting up with for the quality of food.

My friend said this place was awesome..and it was HORRIBLE!



We stood there for 15 minutes being TOTALLY IGNORED by the staff. Then the bus boy finally seated us at a FILTHY table, and we sat there for 10 more minutes and NO ONE came to say hi to us or take our drink order! I had enough and told her I was leaving. We started out the front door...THEN they come out and want to take our order!!!!! I kept on walking.



THIS PLACE IS HORRIBLE!

How do you stay in business treating people like that?
