Having lived in the area for a few years, there's pretty limited options for authentic Korean food so I'm really happy to have discovered this spot. I was craving a piping bowl of hot tofu stew on a cold day and came here to satisfy my cravings, I think the prices are on par for what you get and they have lunch specials with a wide selection of chicken wings, bibimbap and other dishes. It was pretty empty when I came during a weekday and service was quick. Highly recommend checking out if you are in the downtown Brooklyn area and craving Korean food with variety.

We went to this restaurant randomly last week after searching for a place to have lunch on court st and don't regret coming here. It was a quiet and chill little spot (not noisy at all) that had a lot of hand drawn art above the seats. Everything appearance wise was wooden. It was pleasant to look at venue. We ordered a spicy chicken over rice and salmon avocado over rice and veggies and they tasted really good. The spicy chicken wasn't overwhelmingly hot and wasn't underwhelming as well. The salmon was cooked really well too. The mojito I had tasted good too (however wasn't as strong as other places I've been too). I would definitely try the food again. The service by all the staff was good too. They were all really nice and attentive. We accidentally broke a glass trying to get our baby back in the holder and the staff were actually really understanding and didn't get upset with us. Would definitely recommend trying giving this spot a try if you're walking around hungry.

Food: delicious! Service: took some time to get the food Ambiance: nice seats and good lighting

Modern Korean is how I'd describe this place. It has everything you are looking for in a Korean spot but feels like an upgrade to the ones you'd find in Ktown. The fried chicken was one of my favorites I've ever had. My friend wasn't as crazy about the chicken as I was, because it was as crunchy as typical kfc is. The chicken was light and crispy and I like my chicken that way. The veggie dumpling and seafood pancakes were also amazing. The mackerel was just ok for us. Didn't have a lot of flavor but definitely light and lean protein.

I pass by SSAM all the time and finally came to check it out for lunch. There aren't many Korean spots in this area, so this is a nice treat. With that said, also a bit disappointing that they don't have all the complimentary banchans that you find at most Korean spots. Nonetheless, this seems like a fun spot to drink with a group after work. Since I came during lunch, it was pretty empty. But we also lucked out on some lunch special items. I ordered the Soft Tofu Soup with Beef ($15.95) while the boyfriend got the Fried Rice with Spicy Pork ($15.95). We also got the 3 orders of Spicy Korean Wings ($3) to share and two glasses of Kirin ($6). The wings were solid --a bit small but good flavor. I liked how the fried rice came on a sizzling hot plate, which was pretty delicious with the crispy rice. My tofu soup was pretty big and came with rice and some kimchi. It's not the best I ever had, but it satisfies me when I'm craving this. Glad to have some tofu soup and traditional Korean eats in the neighborhood though.

I was looking for something new, and this place caught my eye. The place inside looks like a bar, with many rustic tables. The staff is friendly and accommodating. I chose spicy beef soup, and my husband has bulgogi. We had a complimentary sampler of Kim Chi, which was delicious. My soup was so flavorful! The portion was significant; I took half home. It comes with desperate white rice. The bulgogi was also tasty, and the crispy rice at the bottom was a cherry on top. I also got yuzu tea, which was terrific. I need it at home 24/7

Came here on a weekend with no reservations and was seated promptly for a party of 4. Ordered the salmon dolsot with avocado and it was delicious! Would recommend ordering a hot stone bibimbap dish as that's their speciality. The price was $19 for a small bowl, kinda pricey and not shareable since I finished it all. This spot is perfect for a group of friends since there's plenty of seating and great appetizers to share such as the kimchi fries. Our server was helpful and attentive, would come here again. Also the bathrooms are clean! Ambiance - 4/5 Food - 4/5 Drinks - 4/5 Service - 5/5
