"However, the ribs were somewhat disappointing, as the meat was tough and difficult to separate from the bone. This might have been due to not cooking them sufficiently, but it was still the least impressive item on the menu. In addition to the BBQ, they serve small appetizers, which were lackluster; I’ve certainly had better elsewhere. Some of my companions ordered non-BBQ dishes that I tried, including some cold buckwheat noodles that were okay but lacked flavor and didn't satisfy my hunger. There was also a rice dish that was quite filling and resembled an enhanced version of fried rice; it was acceptable, but I definitely preferred the grilled meats. I can’t recall the names of these dishes, but I would rate them around three stars. The price is reasonable, likely in the $15-$20 range per person. As for the atmosphere, the restaurant is clean and equipped with large metal fans to help mitigate the smoke, which can get quite intense. Overall, I would give Samwon four stars. While some dishes were not the best, the barbecue is the main attraction, and it did not disappoint."
