We were planning to go to Genwa but it was too last min, so our Korean friend suggested us to try out this place. We came as a party of 6. And, we were all glad we came. I thought Ssam Korean BBQ was pretty authentic, based on the name, you can tell it's a Korean bbq place with "ssam"! "Ssam" meaning "wrapped" refers in a Korean dish in which, usually leafy vegetables are used to wrap a piece of meat, such as pork belly or other fillings! So, this is the place that you have to focus on veggie wraps with meat, and if you do it the right way, 1000% guaranteed it will level up the taste! Quick tips: 1) Grab a piece of lettuce, add a piece of raw garlic (a must), some rice and other side dishes if you like, and don't forget to add some "ssam sauce" (Korean chili paste). I loved it with pork belly the most, their veggie wrap def makes pork belly way tasty! Note: You have to eat it with one bite! 2) You can order half portion to enjoy more! 3) Try their spicy raw crab! It's a little mushy, but interesting to try! 4) Get their cold noodles! So refreshing, so good! We order non-spicy one, but added with the vinegar and spicy chilled bibim sauce! It's cold, sweet and tangy! Hands down! Very delicious! 4) Combo beef was good but a bit lack of seasoning! (I was wondering if they did it on purpose? (cause we need to add sauce and other fillings for the wraps?) 5) Skip loin back ribs, even it says "BEST" on menu. But it was just okay to us, or double check w/ the servers if there is another way to make it tastier! 6) Dip the meat with the hot grilled cheese!!! All in all, the staff were all pretty attentive and efficient! They cooked all the meat for us, and even asked if we wanted them to cut out the fat before serving to the table. I thought that was thoughtful! They did consistently speak Korean to us, (I guess it's because we have friends who speak Korean), but most of the servers have no problem communicating in English as well! Service was on point! However, I probably wouldn't recommend anyone who's looking for a melt-in-your-mouth kind of experience to try out this place, but if you're looking for a more traditional Korean bbq style with veggie wraps, I think it's worth visiting!
