BIBIMBAP AND OJINGEO BOKKEUM

SAMMI KOREAN RESTAURANT
3634 Rochester Rd.
Troy, MI 48083



Not a fancy schmancy restaurant, sort of a "hole in the wall" type of place but the food are excellent. Staff welcome you like you're a member of the family. 
 
 The following dishes are our favorite. A must try when ever we go to a Korean Restaurant. And these didn't fail, we love everything we ordered.

 
BIBIMBAP
 




OJINGEO BOKKEUM (KOREAN SPICY STIR FRIED SQUID)
 




BANCHAN (CONDIMENTS), OJINGEO BOKKEUM, BIBIMBAP, KIMCHI STEW (JJIGAE)

LOVE KOREAN FOOD

5247 N. Western Ave. (Foster Ave.)Chicago, IL 60625

Great food
It would be nice if servers would be a little bit attentive.
Worth it though, I will visit this place on my next Chicago visit.
 


An array of Korean fixings and condiments (Banchan). Never cease to amaze me, i wonder how many combinations there are. These are like a meal by itself. It's suppose to perk your appetite ;) I love them all.
 

 



 
Bibimbap


 
 

Korean Table Top Grilling, love it!
 
 
 
 
Thinly sliced beef with lots of marbling, so tender and juicy. Not to mention how good they smell.



Leave it to my daughter, she knows what she's doing. Squid are set to the side otherwise they will be overcooked and they'll be chewy. That's not good.
