Simmer & Steamer has a rating of 4.3 out of 5 based on over 68 reviews on Google
This is the (gojujang?) chicken. Not as pictured for sure. Also tastes so basic. Not in like a classic Korean food way, but like a boring-they threw hot sauce at it-way. Kimchi is $2.50 more, which is crazy to me, considering banchan is a fundamental part of Korean cultural hospitality. Girl who worked there was great. Super nice and kind. Vibe was fine, I didn’t know there was seating til after I ordered.
The food we had was absolutely amazing! I ordered the tofu kimchi rice bowl, it was delicious. Our host was so sweet and made the best food. We'll definitely be back here on a regular basis.
I had the Organic matcha pork belly with ssamjang I’m Korean, and I’ve tried a lot of Korean food in the U.S. This was the worst food I’ve ever had in my life. The pork was so overcooked that it fell apart and turned to mush. The ssamjang tasted strangely sour, and the whole dish was overly soggy, greasy, and heavy. I strongly recommend not eating this. I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE!
Finally tried this place and I'm so glad I did! The gochujang chicken is incredible - just the right amount of flavor. Perfect for takeout too, which is exactly what I needed. So happy they opened up in the area. Will def come back for more!
Such a wonderful new addition to University! The service is great and the food is outstanding. I’ve tried the chicken and the beef bowls so far and they’re both clearly made from scratch and so full of flavor. Great value for the price. Will be back many times!
We went to this restaurant because the reviews were pretty good. I had the Gan-Jang Beef Rice Bowl. Unfortunately, when we finally got our order, the food wasn't good at all. The beefwas very flat tasting and barely palatable. Even the rice wasn't good. We were the only customers when we were there, and it's just not difficult to guess why.
Large pork belly bowl with ssamjang. Ssamjang is super salty, I wish it wasn't slathered on top of all the rice and making it all too salty. Pork belly is tasty, tender. Rice is soso.
