Annyeonghaseyo!(Hello!)

Why is my review title like this? Sammi Restaurant is a Korean cuisine restaurant. If a Korean wants to taste the national cuisine in Moscow, he will certainly go to this restaurant. There is no more plausible "reproduction" of a Korean restaurant in Moscow. At the same time, you need to know the location of the restaurant. The restaurant is located at:

st. 26 Baku Commissars, 4, bldg. 2.

This is a sleeping area. The restaurant is located in courtyards, among residential buildings and is inconspicuous. Previously, in general, the name of the restaurant was printed on a printer as a sign and a leaf was hung on the door. It's not so easy to find the first time. I remember that we got to the navigator.

If you are a fan of Korean culture and food, then you will like it. If you are unfamiliar with Korean cuisine, then at least it will be interesting for you. Sammi is distinguished from others not only by the food itself, but also by the entourage, the audience, the serving of food, etc.

So, the decor of the restaurant is made in the national style. Simple tables with braziers, chairs, paintings of Korean landscapes on the walls. There is no luxury, pomp, luxury. It's simple. There are a lot of Koreans, I would say 80-90%. I have been to the restaurant 4 times and it has never been empty. This time there were a lot of people, all the halls (and there are three of them) were filled with people. As already noted above - tables with braziers, it is very popular to fry meat yourself. Many order.

I am attaching a photo of the menu.

As you can see, the menu consists exclusively of national dishes. All dishes are written in Korean (for Koreans and lovers of the Korean language :)), its name is in Russian and, in fact, the composition of the dishes. Now we have added a photo to the dishes. Previously, it was not. The menu was a simple A4 sheet of paper with printed text. Now it has become easier to place an order, you see and understand WHAT you are ordering. We ordered Moskal (pork neck with mushrooms), Tokpokki (rice dumplings in a hot sauce) and Kimbab ("Korean rolls").

The order is accompanied by appetizers (patchani), which naturally consist of kimchi, pickled cabbage, vegetables, lettuce and sauce or spicy pasta. By the way, you can replenish snacks (if you suddenly ate everything) several times for free. The waiter will tell you when the "freebie" is over :)

In addition, a drink is included with the order free of charge. Nothing special, but you can drink tea. We always take it.

All dishes are not very small (in the photo from the menu you can see the output in grams). Designed not for one person, but for a company, at least 2 people. For two people, an order of 2 dishes will be enough. Don't forget that there will be more snacks. We ordered a lot and had to take the tokbokki home, because we didn't even touch them :))))

So, about the meat: it is suggested to fry the meat ourselves, if you do not know how, are embarrassed or something else, you can ask the waiter, they will do everything, and fry, and cut the meat. Next, the meal itself begins, with chopsticks (for Koreans, iron sticks), pick slices of meat, cabbage sauce, in any sequence and combination, whatever. Bon Appetit))

2) Serving size ....

Show in full

It is said to be the best authentic Korean restaurant in Moscow. I have nothing to compare with, but I was pleased with the visit.

1) Prices. Here you can taste Korean cuisine inexpensively, your average check for one person will be 500-600 rubles, and for this money you will really get enough! And someone can get fed up. And this is the second big plus.

2) Serving size. The standard serving size here is 0.5 kg, but in many dishes both 0.7 and 0.9 kg!

3) Participation in the process. You can fry the meat yourself - such mini-braziers are built into the tables, which gives the place a special flavor. However, a meat portion for frying will cost you a little more than the main dishes of the restaurant. I don't remember exactly, but something about 1,000 rubles. However, the entertainment is worth it, in addition, traditional Korean hot snacks - pickled potatoes, carrots, cabbage, etc., are brought to the meat, and their supply is replenished as needed.

4) Comfort. The space is divided into small, separate compartments with tables, which creates a cozy atmosphere. In addition, there are also completely separate rooms, in one of which there is a low table and the floor is covered with pillows - very atmospheric!

5) Authentic. Dishes are only traditionally Korean (excluding desserts), 90% of visitors are Koreans, staff are Koreans. In addition, there is a small shop of Korean products nearby.

6) Delicious. After all, it is really delicious there. Especially if you are a connoisseur of Asian cuisine.

1) Location. The place is located in courtyards, far from the metro.

2) Service. Waitresses take a long time to carry dishes (although, perhaps, we were just unlucky)

3) Narrow-profile menu. This is not Chinese food. Apart from frying meats, blood sausage, hot snacks and numerous combinations of rice / noodles with meat / seafood / vegetables, as well as soups and stews on the same basis of noodles + toppings, there is nothing. You won't find any Korean desserts (for dessert - banal cheesecakes), or Korean salads, or Korean alcohol ... although no, you will find alcohol. But for that kind of money! And this is another drawback.

4) Alcohol. The choice is not rich, and the prices are high. All alcohol is Russian, except for a certain Korean "vodka" - but about 800 rubles for either 50 or 100 grams! Apparently, they are being driven from gold.

5) Registration. Despite the comfort, the design lacks completeness, the bar is generally conditional. The menu is on ordinary sheets of paper, without pictures - you have to guess about the appearance of the dishes from the description.

6) No cards. Payment only in cash.
