I’ve been coming to this place since I was a senior in high school, and now that I’m a senior in college, I thought it’d be meaningful to share my experience. First of all, the food is delicious — the side dishes are always fresh and there’s such a great variety. Dare I say, they have the best kimchi in town! Ever since they introduced the All You Can Eat (AYCE) option, I’m pretty sure they see me once every week — and that says a lot. The servers are always friendly, and no matter how busy it gets, they remain composed, polite, and respectful. I have several dietary restrictions, but they’ve always been accommodating, which I really appreciate. Another thing worth mentioning is that they’re the only AYCE restaurant I know that serves Beef Belly — my absolute favorite cut of meat. I also

The food was very tasty. However, the waitress placed the wrong order and the cook/manager "refused" to give me what I ordered and insisted that I pay for their mistake. Just plain stubborn? I ordered the Daenjang Jjiang with beef as my protein but got seafood instead. I never order seafood at none seafood restaurants because the seafood is never fresh. I could tell the fish was pre-frozen and just two clams and nothing else. NEVER AGAIN. Patrons be ware. This was an alternate to my favorite Korean Restaurant, "GangNam Korean Restaurant", who unfortunately is closed on Mondays. The surprising thing is that the waitress recognized me because I have gone here several times before. Not anymore Sam.

My husband and I have been coming here since before they changed owners and they are still amazing. We've tried other Korean spots in Jax but nothing beats our OG spot!! We usually stick to the all you can eat but today we tried something new and I'm glad we did!! Everything is absolutely divine and they NEVER fail us ❤️ We had the Yukaejang and the Dolsot Bibimbap. Great prices for large portions. I recommend this spot to everyone I know.

Anyone who has lived in Jacksonville has been to Sam Won once in their life. What they don't know is that this place has a new owner and got renovated with smokeless table grills all over the place. What they also don't know is that the quality is top notch, as well as the service. Have I also mentioned that it's only $27/person for the all you can eat Korean BBQ? You can not beat that price for the great experience there. Oh, there's a button you can push to call a server instead of yelling across the restaurant for one. Don't forget to sign up for their point system. Seriously, other Korean BBQ places are like almost $40/person...why?!? Those other restaurants need to learn how service and quality is from Sam Won Garden.

It's been a long time since I've been here but my mom and dad came here a lot. So we came to give a try since our go to was closed on a Monday. Located within a strip mall, plenty of parking outside. Love the atmosphere inside and the smells as you enter were wonderful. They have an all you can eat, cook at the table option but I like my meals served to me and not cook it myself. The Bento box lunch special has a lot of food. It's the same meal served for dinner. The beef and spicy pork bulgogi is the best. They over cooked the chicken after tasting my sister's plate. We also got a side of Japchae which is delicious. Also got the hot pot Bibimbap. One of my favorite meals. We are definitely regular customers here
