My brother in law brought us to Sam Jung after my husband and I arrived on Christmas Eve aka limited food options before our annual family gift exchange gathering. The staffs were over the top friendly. We were greeted warmly from the first step through the door. My brother in law reported that he visits Sam Jung at least twice a week - every staff member knew him and his regular order - which misled me to believe that we were in for a treat.
Since we were in a hurry we decided to order the sashimi wasakawa and the beef dumpling rice cake soup to go. When we arrived home, I quickly learned that most of my sashimi pieces were still rock hard frozen. I quickly ate two bites and had to leave the rest to thaw. The beef dumplings were flavorless and the rice cakes were undercooked. We didn't have time to look for a second meal and forced to go to our family gathering with grumbling stomach.
Such nice staffs, such terrible food. Perhaps we need to revisit on a non holiday and see if we just happened to go on a off night.
