Yes, the wait time on weekends is horrendous (often up to an hour once you're seated), but oh, is it worth it! The food here is always fresh and authentic and the price can't be beat! Even if you're not a remotely adventuresome eater, there are all kind of dishes on the menu that are perfect for those who are ""foreign phobic"" (don't let anybody tell you they don't like Korean food - there are offerings here that could be whipped up in any loyally American kitchen if only the cook had been struck with a flash of culinary genius). The service is astronomically friendly, and though the decor leaves something to be desired, the vibe is so warm and bright that you can't claim the ambiance is anything less than elevating. Go to Sam Hawk and have a taste of Korea! Your palette will worship you for it!
Pros: Phenomenal food, fantastic price, incredibly friendly staff
Cons: Interminably long wait between ordering and being served (Friday and Saturday night)
