SANBADA

“beautiful, clean interior and very attentive, friendly servers.”

I lived and worked in Korea for over 30 years, and this restaurant truly made me feel like I was eating in a Korean home rather than a restaurant. From the moment the food arrived, it felt familiar and comforting. The rice was served in a ceramic bowl, just like in a typical Korean household, along with a simple soybean paste soup. In Korea, families do not use stainless steel bowls at home. Those are mostly used in busy restaurants because they keep the rice warm and allow for faster service. Seeing ceramic tableware immediately brought back memories of Korea. In terms of quality and taste,

Highly recommended Korean restaurant! I had a wonderful dinner here with my friend recently and we both left very happy. Although there are only 5 main dishes to choose from, the flavors are genuinely delicious and satisfying. What really impressed us was the generous selection of free side dishes (banchan) — there were many options and they were all fresh and tasty. The meal ended on a sweet note with complimentary ice cream, which was a lovely touch. Overall, the value for money here is excellent and very competitive. You get so much more than what you pay for.

We visited this place both during the day and at night, and both were great experiences! Dinner time tends to be much more crowded, while the afternoon is quieter and more relaxed. I’d recommend coming for lunch—it’s less busy, and the menu is slightly more affordable. The unlimited side dishes are a huge plus, and they’re all delicious. I especially loved the mackerel fish—it was flavorful and definitely worth the price. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food feels very authentic, and the experience is well worth it!
