Samwon Restaurant

Great asian food, large portion sizes, and a very calm atmosphere.

I had been coming here for years with my family, and it is a very cozy spot for some delicious and authentic Korean food. The tteokbboki is probably some of the best I had in Lakewood and the yakisoba was so good I ate the whole plate. I came on the last day before the owner was going to close the restaurant, and it was a good meal. Sad to see samwon go though

The daeji bulgogi was amazing. The teriyaki was dry. The garlic chicken was bland. The service was great and had a pleasant atmosphere. Prices were reasonable

A cozy hole in the wall spot full of warmth, good food, and beautiful plant life. Service was friendly, and our server took care to make sure he fully understood our order and got everything just right. Our Korean food came out quickly and it was all delicious! Pleasantly surprised by this little gem.

I sometimes stop by this restaurant to get my Korean fix when I visit my Mommy’s grave nearby. There are many other Korean restaurants off Steilacoom boulevard as well. The restaurant exterior looks run down, however, the food is yummy My daughter would join me at times. I love to order the Kalbi (my favorite) with all the lovely side dishes. My daughter likes the spicy pork bulgogi. Restaurant owners are run by elders. Service is great. Please be patient with elders.

Despite the few translations for the Korean items, this was a great place! The owner guided me to the #15 (see photo) which was a pleasantly spicy broth with mostly veggies and some meat. It was very filling. Don't wear a white shirt if you order this soup! But do come hungry and ready to be full
