SAM WON GARDEN KOREAN AND JAPANESE RESTAURANT

If yer like me and you like kim chee, then Sam Won Garden is the place to be. Sam Won Garden combines the food, ambience, and culture of Japan and Korea in a comfy family setting. Like every Korean restaurant where I've ever eaten, I get the feelin that Grandma is sitting close by, if only in spirit. Likewise the Japanese reverence for ancestors and tradition can be felt at the sushi bar as large hunks of fish are carved into works of art. So sublime is the sashimi, and so flavorfully funky is the kim chee, this is a rare cultural eating experience. A family place where everyone is ready for food from the homeland, or in my case, just real good eats and smiling eyes.
